" Eh ...Mba Lulu ! Tito was told by Bu Kus to nemenin Mas Gema to wait for Embak " replied the young man named Tito was polite .

" Have you had lunch ?? " echo sound interrupts .

Lulu rolled her eyes lazily as her former boss answered her question with a question . Yesterday he was angry because Gema mentioned the 'debt' he had to pay .

During these two weeks he had to accompany the man to lunch . Though the man knew very well if not to walk, his legs were still very painful to move .

" I know exactly what's on your mind . I'm not gonna make your legs hurt any more by forcing you to have lunch outside with me . We can have lunch here with Mas Tito and your friends here if you want "

" They will only be here if night has come . There is no unemployment at this cost "

" You have lunch just the same mom, I happen to cook a lot really . There is tempeh, tofu , salted fish, sambel terasi and vegetable asem ! Eggplant balado also exists . Let's go behind us in the back garden "

" But Ms. .. This definitely makes you bother, I can order food at a restaurant near here only "

" Lahh later if you do not eat even mubasir mother Nak cuisine !! Udaahh come on, pamali rejects fortune !! Mas Tito later help Ibuk bring his food to the back ya "

" Any Buuu ... "

Bu Kus and Tito are seen walking towards the kitchen to bring food . And Lulu's eyes frowned as the handsome man of her former boss walked over to her . His body reflexively retreated when he imagined that yesterday he was in the man's arms .

" What do you want ??! "

Echoes take a cane or leg support is often called with crutches lying next to Lulu .

" I just want to take your stick, but I don't mind if I have to lift you there" said Gema with the position of the hand that wants to carry the body in front of him . He just wanted to see those lips curl back up .

" Keep that hand away or I yell for Tito and his friends to beat you up !! "

Echoes smiled seeing the girl continue to grumble while walking limping into the back garden . The garden is not too broad but there are many mango trees and papaya trees .

The handsome man helped Tito roll out the mat before Bu Kus put down his vegetable pot and dishwasher plate . He saw the three people eating without using a spoon alias with his hands .

" Don't look around, Son Echoes ! Let's eat potluck " said Bu Kus who saw Echoes like fixated on seeing food in front of him .

" Where is he craved such village food, the time to bring a luxury car tell eat sambel terasi ... "

" book every day cook home-cooked meals like this . I haven't been home for a year ! Seeing this food is like coming home "

" Where is the Echoes of the village ?? Far away, huh !? "

" Deket kok Bu, at most an hour there "answer Echoes honestly .

" Oooo means the area here only yes .. "timpal Tito .

" I am from Bali" said Gema started scooping rice on his plate . He also took a spoonful of sambal with that blackish color . Although a little difficulty eating using his hands but it is very visible if he enjoys his food .

" Cahhh ... Bali !? " the three muttered almost simultaneously .

" Lahhh how can you get from here to there for only an hour, son ?? Mom just went to the market on Sunday riding a motorbike an hour round trip , did Nak Gema have wings !? "

Echoes closed his eyes , the corners of his eyes look start to water .

" O Allah, son, long for home again huh ?! Until nangis nangis gitu . Sabaarrr .... "

" Water .. sshhhhh !!! "

While Lulu and Tito spontaneously terbahak see the man who still wears formal white shirt was drinking a small pitcher of water because of the spiciness .
