The Substitute's Love
Accompany Me

That morning Ningrum was preoccupied with concocting herbal coconut oil to massage Yudha's legs.

After giving her breakfast.

Deftly he cultivated the coconut. Once grated, the coconut was mixed with cooking water the comparison is five coconuts with one half of water. Then in the filter, in order to separate the coconut water with the waste.

After that he put his water into clear plastic and hung it outside to be exposed to sunlight.

It is useful to separate the water with oil that will later settle.

And do not forget he also dried red ginger and lemongrass which will be mixed with coconut oil.

While waiting for the coconut oil to settle. Ningrum immediately helped Bik Asih cook for lunch.

''What kind of cook today?'' Tanya Ningrum who was already beside Bik Asih who was busy preparing cooking ingredients.

''You made Ning chicken opor.'' Say Bik Asih while his eyes and hands are still busy looking for materials in the refrigerator.

''Oh, that's Mas Yudha's favorite food huh?'' Ask Ningrum prank.

''Not really, Bibi knows Mr. Yudha's favorite food is fish. All kinds of fish he likes. Sea fish or freshwater fish. Only salted fish he does not eat. Want the fish to cook it on roast in the fry or even made to fry. She liked it so much.'' Definitely Bik Asih.

''It seems like Bik Asih knows Mas Yudha well?'' Ningrum.

''Of course Ning, Aunt worked in this house while Mr. Yudha was still sitting on the bench of Junior High.'' Saying Bik Asih.

''Hmm--old too yeah Bik. Oh yes Bik, since I came to this house I have not seen Mas Yudha's parents. Are they still there or-?'' Ningrum asked doubtfully so he did not continue his question.

''There is still. His mother Mr. Yudha is still around. Only his father is dead.'' Answer Fast.

Ningrum nodded slowly, yet he did not dare to ask again. But actually he still wants to know where Yudha's mother is now.

''Mr Yudha's mother is now in Turkey. She's in boyong her new husband.'' Saying Bik Asih.

It was as if she knew if Ningrum wanted to ask about it, but paled in reticence.

''Oh, so yes Bik.''

''My aunt takes care of this house alone. This house is huge.''

Ningrum was astonished at such a large house just Bik Asih became his ART. Although added two guards who stand guard take turns and a driver only.

While he himself imagined, if working to be ART here and having to clean every corner of the room himself seemed unable to where to cook anyway. Moreover, Bik Asih who may be his age is no longer young.

Seeing Ningrum was like thinking of something Bik Asih smiled small.

''There was a special officer assigned by Mr. Yudha for that Ning. Bibik's job is to cook. In addition to Tuan also for security guards and drivers of course also for Bibik himself.'' Definitely Bik Asih.

Ningrum also mangut-mangut understand, while ber oh ria.

The conversation in the kitchen just flowed. Many dime questions that Ningrum gave to Bik Asih.

And with pleasure Bik Asih always answered.

It turned out that Bik Asih was a very kind person and respected Ningrum. Although Bik Asih knew who Ningrum really was.

But there is no reason for Bik Asih not to respect him. Because Ningrum was also Yudha's legal wife even though it was only religiously legitimate.

A few moments later.

Cuisine was finished, Ningrum deftly arranged the food on the tray for a moment he delivered to Yudha.

Then he also rubbed the withered ginger and lemongrass and put it in a bottle. Then pour coconut oil into it.

And be coconut oil herbal concoction is ready to be used.

''You know very well Ning about that?'' Tanya Bik Asih amazed.

''This is my father's recipe Bik. I sometimes help him make oil like this. Because he's a traveling masseuse. I also learned a little from Dad about the science of massage massage.'' Said Ningrum with a smile.

''Later if Aunt feels sore. I'm a massage huh Bik?'' Add Ningrum again.

''I dare not Ning, you are the wife of my master. Want to massage the babya anyway?'' Kekeh Bik Asih's.

''But we are both men Bik, before God all men are alike Bik. Only science and practice distinguish them. Moreover, Bik Asih is far above me. Surely I should respect the older ones right?'' Said Ningrum smiling warmly while stroking Bik Asih's back.

''Assha Allah Ning, your heart is glorious. It's lucky that Mr. Yudha has a wife like you. Perhaps you were sent by God to Lord Yudha the fruit of his patience all this time.'' Bik Asih was moved.

''Aunty could be, don't praise me too much Bik, I'm afraid to be arrogant later.'' Little smiling Ningrum's great-grandson.

''Alright I will soon bring this lunch to Mas Yudha ya Bik.'' Pamit Ningrum while going to step away.

''Yes Ning.'' Nod the Asih Bik.

After arriving before Yudha's room, Ningrum immediately knocked on her bedroom door.

''Include.'' Sound from within.

Without waiting for long, he entered.

Ningrum saw Yudha sitting on her wheelchair. As usual, he looked at the window.

Outside the window, the view is beautiful. Anyone would linger looking at him.

Because there is an artificial lake out there that is quite spacious and decorated with beautiful flower gardens.

Not to mention the variety of trees that are deliberately arranged also add to the beautiful scenery.

''Please Mas, lunch is ready.'' Said Ningrum after putting the tray filled with food on the small table.

Yudha just nodded small. Then he put his wheelchair up to the table.

At the push of a button, the wheelchair drives itself without moving.

Yudha ate. Ningrum immediately tidied up the room.

He tidied up the money bed was originally a mess that had not been done this morning.

After she was done, she rushed to the bathroom. To pick up the dirty clothes and will bring her later for her to wash.

Occasionally Yudha watched the movements of Ningrum, while enjoying her lunch.

''I'm going down again yes. Later when it's finished eating I'll be here again.'' Pamit Ningrum carried a laundry basket in her hand.

''Don't, please accompany me first.'' Prevent Yudha.

Ningrum was momentarily silent at Yudha's words.
