WHY LOVE
S2 - Determining the Choice

Bandung

The car driven by Nico drove at medium speed from Jakarta to Bandung. Since marriage especially now have children, the mental race is suddenly down. He became more cautious, no longer thinking of himself. He has a wife and children to take care of.

Mumpung activities in the office are free, because slowly his duties began to be taken over by his brother. Nico invited Suci to determine which housing in the complex he would choose. Because the decision has been unanimous to settle in Bandung. Mother who initially objected to having to stay away from her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, finally relented. Mother is treated with Anita and Naura who live with her.

"Honey, would you like to see the location or check in (hotel) first?" Nico glances from the middle spy as Suci sits in the back breastfeeding Amanda who is now 4 months old. The streets of downtown Bandung in the morning before noon looked crowded smoothly on weekdays. If the weekend will experience congestion because of the many local tourists who spend a vacation in the city known as Paris Van Java.

"Liat house first yes Mas. Curious."

"Ready, Mistress. I'll drive you wherever the madam goes."

Saints chuckled at her husband's ridiculous behavior. He is also grateful that baby Manda is not fussy when it is a long trip for the first time for the little one. Only stop once at the rest area for the purpose of going to the toilet and baby Manda remains a henchman.

"If the driver is handsome gini, whoever the passengers must be at home for a long time..." Suci noticed Nico who only saw the side of his face only. Her husband always looked cool whatever she was wearing.

"May also try to be an online taxi driver." Nico smiled mesmerizingly looking at Sacred from the reflection of the rearview mirror.

"Eh, no! Mojang Bandung is famous for being beautiful. THE DANGER!" Sacred sneered with fierce glaring eyes.

Nico chuckles. He saw the wife's craggy expression still from the middle spy, making him even entertained.

"Aceh's girl is also beautiful. And I'm lucky to get one, Amanda's mom." Nico delivered a sweet smile through the rearview so that made Saints blush in shame.

The car entered the Cicendo area and then turned into a beautiful residential complex with rows of shade trees along the central sidewalk, barring the left and right lane of the complex road.

"Alhamdulillah, until.." said Nico relieved.

The car is parked in front of a two-story house with an iron fence 175 cm high. Seen in front of the door hung banner "HOME FOR SALE".

A man from inside the house was seen running towards the gate and then pushing him.

"Wilujeng sumping (welcome), Den Nico...Neng.." greeted Mang Tamin kindly. He is a trustee of Nico who is tasked with maintaining and caring for all property assets in Bandung.

Nico and Saints replied with a smile.

"How are you, Mang?" Nico patted Mang Tamin on the shoulder as he stepped in followed by Suci who pushed the baby Manda stroller.

"Alhamdulillah, pangesto (good)." Mang Tamin nodded politely. "Den, a neighbor in block D three days ago look around here he said bogoh (interested) with this house. I told you to call the contact number in the ad."

Nico frowned to recall whether Malik had ever discussed it or not. Because the contact person is Malik's number.

The saint who was observing every corner of the first floor, approached Nico as he heard the conversation of the two people. "Mas, if anyone wants to buy this, we'll see the others."

Nico. "Your choices are more important, baby. If you like this house, the banner will be removed."

Nearly 1 hour both were in the house. The house that is still empty is not filled with furniture that is modern minimalist design and already has a well-appointed garden.

Nico invites Suci to the next house after asking for the key which is all held by Mang Tamin. Only 4 km from the complex, now they arrive at Papandayan Residence. This cluster is more luxurious with the concept of an environmentally friendly house with many green areas in the neighborhood in its residential cluster.

"Well, since when is property investment?" Suci stared in awe at the row of houses that were arranged and looked awake cleanliness of the environment. Although the day is near noon, but the air there feels shady and cool.

Nico stood summarizing Holy's shoulder after opening the white-painted gate that looked solid. The house also has a banner that says "For Sale"

"From my return from America. Start time buy 1 in Bandung, 1 in Jakarta. I renovated before selling. Thank God it wasn't sold for a year. From his lab could buy new property." Obviously Nico.

Sacred nodded.

Bruckk.

Nico and Saints who had just entered the grounds, compactly turned their head towards the road as soon as they heard the sound of falling objects.

Nico half ran up to the boy who fell off the bike. "Hey, hotshot kid.certainly strong." He helped lift the bike that hit the feet of the grimacing, handsome boy holding his knee.

"Here Om look...." Nico helped lift the trousers the boy was wearing. Luckily there were no injuries because the pants he wore were thick, only his knees slightly reddened bruised.

"I don't know, Om." The boy shook his head by lowering his pants back and then stood patting the back of his pants as he was just sitting on the asphalt.

"Where's the house, deck?" Suci approached while holding the baby Manda.

The boy instead of answering but looked at the baby Manda with a cheerful twinkle, his eyes widened perfectly with a wide smile.

"Ihhhh funny.like my grandfather...." The child waved his hands in front of the face of the baby Manda who was also looking at him. The smiling baby gave an adorable smile.

"You can hold it too...." Sacred stared at the doubtful clad desire in the eyes of the boy. His hands went back and forth as if he wanted to hold the hand of the baby Manda.

The boy shook his head. "Mama said that abis maen should not hold adek."

"Oh that.... Siapi's sister's name anyway..so whose sibling's name?" Suci was impressed with the well-mannered and supple-looking boy. He could have guessed the boy had a very good upbringing.

"Den....Den Athaya.... " A man in a security uniform came in on a sepda, visibly bored in panic.

"Mamang was shocked.kirain there was a nyulik.." he continued while wiping the sweat.

The boy giggled. "Mang Adang lama..." He again giggled because he managed to prick him.

"So this kid fell off the bike, sir. But I saw no injuries.just a slightly bruised knee" said Nico who from earlier smiled watching the interaction of the two people.

"Waduh.nuhun pisan (thank you a lot) yes Aa..teteh. He likes my jail. Just now nganter buy ice cream in front.eh again at the cashier tau-tau say."

"By the way, new residents huh? If my boss' house turns right on the Orchid block." Continue that security.

Nico commented on the friendly smile. "We're still picky, sir."

"Funny is the child.His handsome baby is already tired..." Nico turns to holding the ominous baby Manda as the boy invites her to talk.

"I'm kind of familiar with her face.who does it look like..." He seemed to think hard while walking into the house.

Suci seemed to wait for the continuation of her husband's words. "Well, who does it look like?"

"Forgot, baby."

Nico decides to take a break at the hotel before surveying the last house to visit. After getting enough rest, he fulfilled the Holy request for Ashar prayer at the Bandung Grand Mosque and relaxed for a moment in the square.

Now the car is entering its final destination, Kahuripan Village. The premium cluster, which contains only 40 units of the house, appears to implement strict security. Nico gets interrogation but with friendly service because he has not been registered as a cluster resident. By leaving an identification mark and showing proof of ownership of the unit, he can enter.

This complex is the same, beautiful environment and many green areas. Along the way the Holy observe each house with a shape that only paint there are different. The mosque stands firmly in the middle of the cluster flanked by green open space as a playground.

"Mas, I see no houses fenced in, right?" The saint observed the house he now entered. All the windows looked high and wide impressing good air circulation and perfect incoming sunlight.

"Yes, honey. The rules of the developer like that, should not install the fence, should the page open. This cluster is the concept of neighbors looking after each other."

"Developer already guarantees 24-hour security plus complete cctv. Did you see how the officers checked every vehicle that came in?" he continued while leading the Saints to the 2nd floor.

"Hm." Sacred mangosteen. He spread his gaze across the entire 2nd floor room. Then enter the large main room with the windows lined up high in the east. Every morning you will feel the sunlight warm up the room. There is also a view of the mosque and green open garden arranged and maintained.

"So which one would you choose, Mama is beautiful?" Nico snatched the Holy One from behind. Take a look at the panorama of twilight from the window of the room.

"However.I want to praise my husband first." The Holy Speech while summarizing the hand of Nico who was hugging his waist.

"My husband tastes great. The choice of house is good. Smart marketing guy." Yeah."

"Hm." Nico instead uncovers the Holy Hijab and dips his face in the recess of his neck. Take advantage of the time when baby Manda falls asleep in his stroller.

"

The Saints made a choice. His decision was to choose that house. House in the cluster Kahuripan Village, because he was enamored with the concept of 'Bertangga Saling Maintain' in addition to also like the model of minimalist tropical style house.

"Bro Nico!"

The voice of someone calling out to him, made Nico urung open the car door. They prepared to go back to the hotel after being satisfied to go around the house.

"Wooy, Boss! What's up?" Nico did a high five and hugged each other joyfully. The two laughed and asked each other the news because they had not met for a long time.

"Honey, knowin.boss the owner of this housing." Nico looked at Sacred who was standing to the left of the car.

"I'm Holy..." Suci cupped both hands in front of the baby Manda who was in a cradle.

"I'm Satya, ma'am. The boss tuh your husband, mbak. Not me.." said the man humbled.

"Can do..boss property." Nico punches Satya on the shoulder who comes over with his assistant.

"Don't tell me this house is for sale? You should have stayed! It's a really good neighborhood." Satya looked at Nico full of probing.

Nico chuckles. His friend knows for sure that he likes to buy and sell property.

"No, bro, this one's for my little family. We want to stay here."

Satya clenched her hand tos. "Yes. We're going to be neighbors." He smiled as Nico welcomed his tos.

"I'm not finishing the last house for the future house." Satya approached to whisper. "The binaries are still on the way."

Nico laughed off the whisperings of his business friend's magic.

"Meet you last time at my reception, right?!"

Satya nodded.

"Busyet. Now change.it used to be crisp now crispy.The aura is you know, the aura of people falling in love."

"Well, baby?" Nico asked the opinion of the Saints who were still paying attention to him. The saint nodded while reviewing a smile.

"It could be you, Bambang." Satya holds Nico's shoulder. Both of them laughed again.

"Wait for the invitation, bro!"

Satya also gave her two thumbs up. And then they parted ways, with Nico first leaving the cluster.
