The Azkia Wound Flakes
Sundays

Today is Sunday, Azkia's holiday. He was planning to buy something new that he wanted to buy. New ironing. I've been complaining lately because the iron is less hot. Azkia agreed and tried to please her parents.

Azkia, Seruni and Ibu were ready to go to the department store to buy some needs that were not feasible to use.

"We go buy what is needed. You are also Seruni. You need what, you can buy" Azkia said.

"Yes, Brother. Later Runi buy the necessary." replied Seruni did not want to burden her brother.

Since work and Dad died, Azkia became the backbone of his family. Since work Azkia bought the needs of his family that had not been bought because of the difficulty of the economy at that time.

Azkia entered the department store with Seruni and Mother. Seruni and Mother walked together while Azkia wanted to see another item. Mom nodded and headed straight for the electronic equipment.

Azkia headed for the clothes section. He saw the clothes of adults and children.

Sometimes, Azkia misses the baby her family has left in the village. He wanted to know how she was and her face at this moment. But the Father forbade it because it was for Azkia's own good.

Azkia touched the clothes of teenagers aged 12-13 years. His son must have grown up. Is he living well? Is he healthy? What about the food?

Azkia did not stop thinking about it, when thinking about it, she felt claustrophobic. She had never met her son since giving birth.

"The clothes are good" said a man who noticed Azkia picking out a teenage girl's clothes.

"Oh yeah, really?"

But wait, why does it sound like....

"Sir Kevin?" Azkia was surprised to see her boss standing right behind her. Azkia took off the clothes she had been holding since earlier.

"Oh you.. who's in the office right?" ask Kevin who is not too familiar with Azkia.

"Yes I'm Azkia, sir."

"Oh yes, yes. Are you picking a shirt?" kevin asked, watching the clothes Azkia touched.

"What's for your sister?"

Azkia laughed crisply and tried to divert her conversation.

"No, Sir. I just walked by and saw this dress look good. My sister's grown up, sir."

Kevin nodded and confirmed Azkia's words.

"Self, what are you doing?"

Kevin showed me the items he bought that were already in the basket.

"I bought this for home needs. I don't know what else to buy for everyday food." Kevin replied looking innocent.

Azkia chuckled looking at Kevin like a confused person when shopping.

"I just accompany yuk, sir, to buy your goods" said Azkia volunteered. Because of what Azkia saw, Kevin only bought some sort of chili sauce and tomatoes.

"Can you please accompany me?"

"Can, Sir. Lt could. Let me accompany."

Azkia took out the phone and immediately told Seruni that she accompanied her friend to shop at the food section, while Seruni and Ibu could see - look longer in the electronics section.

Azkia headed for the pasta section and pasta sauce. He takes spaghetti and macaroni if Kevin is not so consumed rice. He also bought ready-to-eat sauces for pasta and cheese.

While asking what is Kevin's favorite, Azkia also heads to the milk section for breakfast if she does not have time to cook something and fruit.

They talked lightly while heading towards the meat section.

"I love meat especially when it is made with black pepper. It's gonna taste great." Azkia said picking out some meat for Kevin's fridge stock.

"Oh yeah, you can cook, right?"

"Hm.. actually..." Kevin increasingly put on his confused face when asked what cooking seasoning menu is good to eat.

"I only know to eat and not to cook..."

Then Azkia saw that her shopping cart was already full of vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. Azkia forgets whether Kevin can cook or not. Azkia simply smiled at her stupidity this time.

"I'll make a meal for you. And I'll send the food later to your house" Azkia said after finishing putting the groceries in the car.

"You sure? Is it not a hassle?"

"I'm sure, sir. What I am not sure is whether Indonesian cuisine matches the English tongue or not. That's it." Azkia replied while thinking back.

"If the cuisine is still themed western cuisine, maybe I still fit in." Kevin replied smiling at Azkia.

"I try to hopefully fit in with you."

"I thank you, yes, Azkia" said Kevin then leave Azkia.

Azkia soon caught up with Seruni and Mother who were still engrossed in seeing electronic items.

"Mother, is it done? So which one to buy?" tanya Azkia sees her mother who is interested in a new brand blender.

"Mom just want to buy an iron anyway." replied Mom and Runi was seen holding the hair dye.

"Indeed the blender at home is broken, ma'am?" ask Azkia.

"No, I just look at you." Mom held Azkia's hand and pulled her to the cashier.

"Runi, Runi, if you have, let's go home." call Mom and Azkia still have something to hide. Seruni immediately put the hair she held earlier.

While at the cashier, Azkia asked Mom again before paying her.

"Are you sure you don't want to buy that blender?"

I just kept quiet and didn't answer. He then asked Seruni.

"Runi, is the blender in the house broken?"

Seruni looked at Mother before answering her and Mother also hinted not to answer. Azkia became anxious herself no one answered her question.

"Mr. Add the blender is the same catokan there" said Azkia at the cashier who was then welcomed by the Cashier Maid.

****

Now somehow Azkia became nagging herself in the car because Seruni and Mother resisted her desire to buy something.

"Why Mother and Runi? If you want to buy something, Kia already said, just buy it, Mom. If it's already broken, yes buy, yes Mom wants to wear a blender that has been damaged?" azkia said she was very anxious because her mother was always worried about Azkia's financial condition.

"It's not so, Ki. I'm just worried you don't have any savings later if you buy this and that." replied Mom.

"Mom, Kia's working for Mommy Sama Runi. Time yes Kia same calculation of his own family Ma'am." replied Azkia.

But Mom smelled another scent from inside the car.

"What is this, Kia?"

"What's up, Mom?"

"Like a smell..." I then looked behind the car and there was a lot of plastic inside.

"You're shopping for food too?" said the mother who now changed nagging.

"Mom told you that food shopping is in the market, not in the supermarket. Why expensive - expensive can not be bargained anymore."

"That's not Kia's, ma'am." replied Azkiq who was now turned into an obedient child.

"Continue having who?"

"Have boss, Kia. He had met earlier to be accompanied by grocery shopping, as well as a department store. But it turns out she can't cook as Kia masakin deh."

answer Azkia.

"You can cook? You're busy how you cook."

Azkia just laughed out loud at her mother's nagging that didn't stop nagging her. Sometimes Azkia does miss times like these.
