The fridge in the house was almost empty. Daisy found only one packet of bread and spices there. He should have gone to the grocery store, but the money in his wallet was already less than a hundred thousand.
“When I became Daisy I never even thought that my pocket money was too much, but now ...”
Daisy drops herself on the living room couch, thinking about what to do. Though this morning after serving breakfast successfully - just a little scorch on the edge of the egg. It very convincingly promises to make dinner in all its complexity.
He imagined making butter fried chicken, and vegetable capcai. Let alone fried chicken, even eggs are not in the refrigerator at this time.
“This is the name of expectations does not match reality.”
Daisy intends to call Maulana who is in the office, but disengages immediately. The man who is Stefani's older brother must be at work at the moment. It would only bother Daisy to ask for things like shopping after work. Another idea came up. How about going with Handoko. However, Handoko seems to be very busy with the park. Daisy can't remember what to do right now.
“What's up?”
Rushing Daisy turned to the door and found Handoko standing sweatily in the doorway.
“Dad!” Daisy stands up and rushes to the kitchen to get a cold drink.
“Thank you!” Handoko received the glass that was thrust to her like a precious object. “So, why are you wasting your breath like that. Any problems?”
Then Handoko's eyes narrowed at him. Daisy realizes the rapidity of the slap on her cheek has not been disguised using powder. He covered the marks with his palm. His movements were clearly late, as Handoko's expression said: I've seen it.
“A-what happened? Did Miss do anything bad to you?”
“Why did Dad accuse Miss? He didn't even go to college today.”
Although he is upset with Stefani, Daisy does not want to immediately throw the faults of others on the girl. There should be no injustice, however.
“Not really Miss did it?” ask Handoko.
“Not!” Daisy also could not say that there were three people who suddenly put their hands around her neck and dragged to a deserted place. He will be banned from going to college, even attempted to move. “There was a misunderstanding earlier.”
“What misunderstandings make your cheeks so red?”
It seemed that Handoko did not give up at all. He urged with his words and actions that Daisy should say something.
“They were joking in class. Then I who do not know through. His arms slapped my face hard enough, but they did not accidentally!”
Handoko's expression looked relieved. He sat with his back pressed to the living room sofa. He rubbed his face with his hands. “Dad doesn't want you to get in trouble again. If there is something ... whatever it is, please tell me!” handoko Pinta.
Daisy nodded.
“Have your friend apologized about this?”
“Yes! They've apologized, even he looked almost crying earlier!” Daisy remembers Andien for a moment.
Unknowingly he smiled a little for getting a chatmate at last. The question of groceries approaches Daisy again when everything calms down. I still don't know what to cook for dinner.
“So what worries you?”
According to Daisy there is no harm in telling what worries her mind. He rubbed his hands together like a cold person before starting. “It ... the refrigerator is empty. I have no idea what to cook!”
Handoko laughs.
Daisy felt very embarrassed to have to tell a story.
“I think you want to say you already have a girlfriend for me!”
Daisy's eyes were wide open to hear it. He remembered the gatekeeper who was flirting earlier. How could the news get to the ears of Stefani's working father.
“Why not right! If it's true, I don't mind. As long as you can take care of yourself. If you can introduce him later to your father and brother!”
Daisy really wants to hide somewhere. Now it's Daisy instead of Stefani. Daisy has a fiancee. Stefani is not. As long as she becomes Stefani, Daisy will keep herself from getting involved with other men too closely. He already has a fiancee.
“Alright ... alright! Dad won't tease you anymore now.” Handoko finished laughing and cleared a little. “So, what do you want to cook?” ask the old man.
“Fried chicken butter and vegetable capcai?” Daisy thinks she should ask Handoko for her approval on the menu first.
He could have decided to be himself in the main house. But now she is like Handoko's daughter. He has to adjust everything to the wishes of those around him.
“Call your brother! She was very enthusiastic when she found out that you were going to cook!” tell Handoko.
“What won't bother Kak Lana?”
Handoko glanced at the wall clock first. “No! He must be on break now!”

Having to go home quickly no matter what, Maulana ordered food to leave the office. The receptionist delivered the food upstairs as the delivery arrived.
“See how you just saved yourself! You should have thought about your boss too, right?” ask Mahardika from across.
Maulana was not affected at all. He bribed the grilled rice he ordered with a big mouthful and chewed noisily. “Bos, know ... I really don't want to use my meager salary just to buy you a meal,” he said very honestly.
Mahardika's lips suddenly went into commotion after hearing it. He signed the file quickly as an impingement. The pantry service was contacted immediately to order lunch for him.
Maulana's phone rang as she wanted to put in a big mouthful of grilled rice again. The name that was plastered on the screen made him rush over to drink and clean his mouth.
“Yes, Stefani!” the swipe is immediately after pressing the lift dial.
“What Brother is busy?” ask his sister to Maulana.
He stared at the pile of files that still left a lot. “No! Now I'm having lunch. What's up?”
“That, can Big Brother buy me some things after work?”
Stefani has long taken care of her own needs. At last, his brother needed his help. How could Maulana refuse. “What?”
Stefani mentioned several types of foodstuffs. He also said that their refrigerator was empty and he did not check it this morning so he found out at this hour.
“Can you repeat the material? I'll take note so as not to forget!” maulana Pinta.
Daisy repeats all the ingredients more slowly while Maulana notes them well.
“I can't wait to eat your cooking!”
“Do not expect too much!” daisy said before deciding on her call.
Maulana put her phone with her heart, then put a note on the back of the phone so as not to have trouble looking for it later. He glanced at Mahardika who seemed to stick out her head out of curiosity.
“What will be cooked?”
“Consecret!” maulana answered intentionally.
He could hear the sound of Mahardika's lips muttering no return.
