“Eemmm can be fried chicken, cobek fish the same capcay..”
“You how many servings?”
“It's 3, cobek fish 2 its capcay 1 serving aja..”.
“Good ma'am, I briefly pack.” Eliana immediately prepared an order for the neighboring mother of the complex waiting for her in front of the storefront.
“Bu, kezia how are you? Still abroad?” ask Mira suddenly.
“Emm yes mom... This year hopefully the lecture is finished..” Eliana said with a smile.
“What lecture is so long? Has he not thought of marriage? My son has 2 tablets of his children, even though they are the same age.” cerocos Mira makes Eliana's ears feel filled with very much water.
“Iya bu, do’ only. Hope to see his soul mate soon. This is the food bu..” Eliana thrust the order that has been wrapped.
“Oh yes ma'am.. This is the money. Eh yes ma'am, cepet-cepet in find a mate for kezia, age is not already young gag again, already want 28 right? Although beautiful but can lose to rivals like younger children. Anyway ma'am, the girl was end-to-end in the kitchen.

“Iya ma'am, thank you for the attention.” Eliana said without looking at Mira.
“Ya already ma'am, I'm sorry I was afraid my grandson cried nangis nyariin..” pamit Mira who rushed away.
Eliana smiled again but her feelings crumbled. The daughter he always loved and was proud to be scorned just like that by others, of course the heart of the mother who accepted. Without feeling tears dripping in Eliana's eyes. In the face of Kezia's photo on his phone. Missed, that was the only word she could say.
“Mamah misses son, go home..” shush Eliana.
“Excuse me..” the voice of a man disperse the reverie of Eliana. He immediately wiped his tears and approached the man. “With bu eliana?” ask the man.
“Betul mas, with my own..” Eliana said.
“There is a package bu... Please sign first the receipt.” Said the man while handing him a medium-sized package.
Eliana reads the name of the sender and turns out Kezia. Eliana smiled happily. He put his signature on the receipt and handed the proof back to the courier.
“Mas, the mas from the XXX expedition right?” eliana asked doubtfully.
“True bu. What's up?”
“Mas , there is an employee named arland gag work there?” search Eliana.
“Arland? Eemmm... Oh tall and handsome arland that mother means?” the shadow of Arland appears in the room of the imagination of the courier sir. Eliana nodded. “Wah, it has been a long time ago stop bu... Kalo gag wrong he opened his own business and his business forward.” continued pak courier with a mind that still imagines Arland.
“Is he married?”
“Kolah tau sih ma.. But emang from work time also she a lot of girls who nyari, now married time ma'am. Gag may be a saucy person so eagerly married long ago. Whichever woman she can get.”
Eliana was only fixated on hearing the reply of the courier sir until without Eliana realizing that the man had gone away from before her.
Eliana is back in her daydream. Thinking of every word Mira said just now. Eliana sat down and hugged the package Kezia had sent.
“Should , mamah gag ngizinin you go all the way, son.. Mamah miss you very much...” lirih Eliana who returned sobbing.
Since his stay in Germany, Kezia has never returned home. Eliana had only been to Germany once when Kezia graduated from S1 medicine. It's only 2 days. The cost there is not a little. Although Kezia sent a fee for his ticket, but Eliana did not until the heart made her daughter continue to bear all her own burden.
Especially since college, Kezia never asked for money from his parents. Every day Eliana imagined what her daughter was eating. Is he sick or healthy. And how his friends treated his daughter. “I am fine mah..” only those words that Kezia always say every time a phone or video call. But a mother's feelings can never be lied to.
And who's in his arms now, I don't know how many packets. Almost every month kezia sends packages containing items such as clothes for mamah and papah, groceries, makeup tools, because kezia tau, and so on, mamahnya is a very fashionable person and her papa works in large companies. But kezia did not know, that only negligent clothes that often wrapped Eliana's body and longing that never runs out.

“Haloo...” greet Kezia with a distinctive sound of waking up. The man there smiled at Kezia's voice.
“Wake up miss, let's take a walk.” Fritz's voice filled Kezia's ear space.
“Come fritz, I'm so lazy. I just want to sleep. Anyway the air is very cold..”.
“Heey, tomorrow we're trial. Let's find a suit for tomorrow. We make the examiner lecturer fascinated since we enter the room.” exclaimed Fritz with enthusiasm.
“Heemm yes already, meet me in one hour at Shopping Mall XXX..” said Kezia who immediately ended his call.
Kezia squirmed her body which felt so sore. The exhaustion after returning from Berlin is endless.
He stared at the ceiling of his room and suddenly excited himself as he remembered tomorrow he was going to the final trial. His clinical trials in several hospitals have been well passed and have been of sufficient value. Kezia immediately got up and headed for the bathroom. He filled the bath tube with soap and a few drops of aromatherapy, then soaked his body there.
The atmosphere of the bath that he missed so much because lately he bathed very quickly and continued to chase with endless time.
The shower felt cold very quickly. He cleansed his body of soap and shampoo. Soon he took a change of clothes from the closet and put on his face simply.
His wet hair he immediately dried and covered it with Beanie (kupluk). The coat is thick enough to warm his body. And ankle boot that protects both feet. Wallet and mobile phone he just put into his coat pocket is very deep. He's ready to go.
In the apartment he called a taxi and went to the shopping mall where Fritz was waiting.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” whispered Kezia who suddenly appeared behind Fritz.
Fritz was waiting for Kezia at their favorite cafe to spend some time.
“You're not too late. Enjoy your warm chocolate, it's very cold outside.” said Fritz who has ordered Kezia's favorite warm chocolate.
“You're the best bro!” exclaimed Kezia who immediately sat beside Fritz.
Kezia gulped down his still warm chocolate while massaging his slightly dizzy temple.
“How is your hibernation 2 days today?” god Fritz.
“Ah sucks once. You even know I have headaches because most sleep.” Cetus Kezia's.
“There is nothing I don't know about you key.” Fritz said as he ruffled Kezia's hair covered in beanie.
“Ah you guys always like that, treat me like a kid!” kezia complained as he shook Fritz's hand off the top of his head.
“Yes who don't have a boyfriend are just little kids!” ledek Fritz's.
“Oohh you challenge me, look fifteen minutes ahead I will hold a handsome man!” threaten Kezia.
“Eitsss do not dare to tease your brother or sister will finish me off.” said Fritz who immediately held Kezia's hand. Fritz was so frightened that it was impossible for a woman like Kezia to tease a man.
“Ah you guys are so annoying!” Kezia again took a sip of his warm chocolate until it ran out. “Come on the road!” take Kezia with you. Fritz balanced it to Kezia's right.
During this time, Angga and fritz did get along better. This is thanks to the incident when Fritz helped Kezia when his college friends pranked kezia by giving him alcoholic drinks. The result is Kezia drunk and raved indeterminate.
Some boys asked her to dance and Kezia followed. Luckily Fritz came at the right time. He immediately took Kezia home and locked her in the flat after she had previously told Angga about the incident.
From then on, Angga entrusts Fritz to help him look after Kezia.
Fritz and Kezia walked around the mall which was not too crowded. They went to some clothing stores and looked for the right suit for tomorrow. It didn't take long to find the item they were looking for. Fritz brought a paper bag containing their groceries and took it into the car.
Today they spend it for fun, so that their minds are more relaxed. Their happy day was closed with dinner together.
