David took a deep breath. A blue-baked bicycle, Lily who was at the back hugged her stomach, a road filled with tourists. Everything is ready.
"Come, go" said Lily moving her legs impatiently.
"Stop rocking, I'll start driving this bike."
Lily smiled, pleased. Especially when the two legs of David began to lift, the man pedaled a bicycle. However, balance is not achieved. David almost hit another tourist.
"Hey, watch your steps!"
"Sorry."
"Let me, David," said Lily to take over.Â
"No, I can lead."
Far from his words, the bike they rode back out of balance until it almost fell. Lily who was afraid of falling finally jumped off the bike, making David even more unbalanced. Lucky he remembered the brakes.
"What are you doing?" David looked at Lily upset back there.
"Let me be in front."
"You underestimated me?"
Actually Lily knew David couldn't ride a bike from Oma. "It's not like that, it's falling."
"You doubt security when you're with me?"
Lily kept quiet, until she finally got a crack. "A. I don't want you to get hurt" he said slowly.
And that makes David grin. "Because what? Because I'm handsome and rich? Oh of course. You like me a lot because of that."Â
David gives Lily control.
The woman was riding in the front, with David sitting on the passenger bench.
As Lily began to paddle, David again said, "Where are we going?"
"Buying souvenirs for Oma."
"Where?"
"I know a cheap place."
"No need to find a cheap one, find a good one."
Lily nodded, and David now felt neglected. Lily was too focused on the scenery around her, and it irritated David. There is no conversation, the point is Lily no longer wants to wait for him.
"You want me to hug?"
"Yes?" Lily tried to hear back.
"You want me to hug?"
Lily was silent, confused as to what answer to say. David still upholds his pride, he is reluctant to himself who looks longing.
"You want me to fall?"
"Ti. no, David."
"Then do you want me to hug you?"
"I.Yes."
David grinned, he hugged Lily tightly. And David's mischievous hands can't stand still, he's creeping. Just as she was about to reach her chest, Lily stopped at one of the clothes stalls.
"A. I want to buy clothes."
And David realized that was one of the ways Lily rejected him.
They got off the bike.
"Welcome, Tea, Kang. Can I help you?" Then the merchant looked at David. "Wellcome, come and get dress or accessories from me."
David frowned, poor spelling and incorrect pronunciation. Which made him choose silence.
"I want to buy clothes for my Oma, Mom. His body is about the size of mine."
"Tos is split, Tea? (It's very old, Tea?)" The merchant patted his forehead. "Sorry, Tea, I mean very old Omanya?"
"Ga papa, ma'am, I can speak Sundanese."
"But I can't" said David. "Please use good and correct Indonesian, or if you prefer to use English."
"Gustiiiiiii teuing….! Ieu bule tiasa nyarios English, Tea? Manawi tea ngan ngingintil doang."

"What about this one, Tea?"
Lily cradled, staring at the clothes she was going to buy for Oma.Â
"This is it, Mom. But if there are accessories, Mom?"
"Eh, Tetu don't know, this…." He pointed at his frame. "Until there, mine, Tea. Starting from accessories, pants, clothes, underwear, swimming tools, toys. Everythingaaaaa I have."
The merchant's words were too noisy, making David go out and call for a bit.
"What's up, Megan?"
"Sorry, Sir. There are things you need to review, the Malaysian side does not allow it to be sent via soft files because they are being shaken by a hacker."
"Then?"
Megan was silent for a moment. "If you please, I'll bring this file to you, sir."
"David!" Lily called. "This good?"
David nodded. "I'm in Pangandaran, come to Villa****," David told Megan.
Behind the phone, Megan smiled. "Good, Sir."
"Here you go."
"That's all?"
"And this, and this," Lily pointed to some accessories.
"just that?
"This is again," said Lily timidly pointing to the beach dress for her.
For the umpteenth time, Davi asked, "Only that?"
"It's.." Lily was holding a man's clothes. "For you, do you like it?"
David is silent, he is chosen a beach outfit that is the same pattern as Lily's dress.
"You want a couple outfit?"
"The merchant said it was good."
"Yes, Kang, this is good. Especially if you're newly married, that's great."
"How much total?" David asked, taking out his wallet.
"Everything's 549 grand, Kang." The merchant frowned when he saw David take out the paper. "Kang, I don't accept checks."
"It's okay, let me go" Lily said, pulling out her wallet.Â
And David was surprised when Lily took a dime out of her purse, she counted it slowly. And what makes David upset, when the merchant looks at Lily as if saying, "Just the rich, the money is actually penniless."
David did not accept it. "Stop, Honey. Don't count the money."
"We need to pay for it, David."
"Stop, I did it."
"Not accepting cheques."
David was annoyed by his arrogant tone of voice. "How much is all the stuff in your shop? I bought it all."
The merchant joked while humbling, he said, "Four Millyar, Kang."
At that time, David contacted Holland to bring cash.Â
After a few minutes, Holland came with several police officers to help with security. Holland was ordered to open a suitcase filled with money in the presence of the merchant.
"Is that enough? I tip your hospitality worth 250 million."
"Te. thank you, Kang."
"David, what are you doing?" Lily approached her husband.

Oma was drinking tea in the afternoon. He enjoyed Jakarta which was hit by heavy rain. Even though the lightning was clearly heard, Oma kept smiling. Makes Eta worry.
"Are you okay, Big Madam?"
"I'll get a great-grandchild, Eta. I'm so happy."
She smiled, and poured tea back. "I'm happy, Big Lady."
"I hope Lily comes back with a belly ready to swell."
"Amen, Big Mistress."
"But we need to consult a doctor. Lily's 19, she's still vulnerable. Right, Eta?"
"Rubber, Big Mistress."
Oma smiled. "I'm always right."
Oma closed her eyes while swaying on the rocking chair. "If only my son were alive, he'd be happy that David is living well."
"Mr Fernandez would be proud of him, Big Mistress."
Oma nodded. "Yes, my dear child, I will take care of your child according to your mandate."
And while relaxing, Oma was interrupted by a large closed tub car with five entering the front yard of the mansion.
"What's that, Eta?" Oma rushed out.Â
There was a man known to Oma as David's subordinate. "Hey, what is this? Why so many box cars? What's up?"
"This is the hand of Mrs and Mr. Fernandez of Pangandaran."
"This much? Did he buy a shophouse?"
"Mr David bought things from 6 shophouses, Big Mistress."
As soon as Oma was in shock, she clearly knew how much money David was spending. And that he spent freely, Oma is more supportive of David using his money well.Â
"Eta! Eta! Give me the phone."
"Here, Big Mistress."
Oma called David.
"Hallo, Oma?"
"What are you doing? You sent a lot of useless stuff, bule!"
David laughing. "Oma, open the shophouse and get busy with yourself instead of bothering me and Lily who's making dough."
"Basic is less acidic!"
