183 Days of Being a Lover
37. Lunch Together

Hearing Mr. Bobby's words, Claudia's mother's face immediately turned sullen.

“Later sometime I send a cake made by my mama,” said Rendi.

Mr. Bobby's face immediately sparkled when he heard the words of Rendi.

“Really?” ask Bobby happily. He looked at Claudia's mother's face with a smile. Claudia's mother immediately turned her face away.

“Iya, Sir. But later if mama is having free time,” replied Rendi.

“Good. I will be happy to wait,” said Mr. Bobby.

Claudia's mother pulled Rendi backwards so inevitably Rendi's body retreated backwards.

“Rendi! How are you, anyway? Who wants to make a cake for Bobby?! Anyway Mama does not want to make a cake for Mr. Bobby,” whispered Claudia's mother with annoyance.

“Ma, this is solely to express our gratitude to Mr. Bobby who has helped us find the kidnapper Rahma,” said Rendi who tried to give understanding to Ms. Claudia.

“Rendi also hopes that Mama will accept Mr. Bobby's lunch invitation. Just lunch no more,” continued Rendi. Claudia's mother let out a long sigh hearing Rendi's words.

“After all Mama didn't go alone. But go on a roll with Rendi, Rahma and grandpa. We are ready to take care of Mama,” said Rendi. Again Claudia's mother let out a long sigh hearing Rendi's words.

“Ya. Mama come,” said Claudia's mother. Rendi was happy to hear the words of her mother.

“Thank you, Ma.” Rendi kissed her mother's cheek. Then he approached Bobby.

“Mama wants to come to lunch,” Rendi told Mr. Bobby.

“Alhamdullilah,” said Mr. Bobby with pleasure.

“Let's go now. I'm already very hungry,” said Mr. Bobby. They left the police station in their own vehicles.

During the journey Rahma thought of Claudia's mother. Earlier when walking towards the car, Claudia's mother's face looked very upset. He felt bad for Claudia's mother, because she was Claudia's mother had to accept Mr. Bobby's invitation. He's indebted to Mr. Bobby but Claudia's mom got her rubber.

When the lights were red lights Rendi turned towards Rahma. Rahma looks like she is daydreaming.

“What are you thinking again?” ask Rendi.

Rahma turned to Rendi.

“I feel bad about Aunt Claudia. Surely Aunt Claudia accepted Mr. Bobby's invitation because of me,” replied Rahma.

“Not to think about it anymore. After this the business with Mr. Bobby will be over. Mama just sent the cake to Mr. Bobby. After that Mama will not meet with Mr. Bobby. And Mr. Bobby will definitely forget Mama,” said Rendi.

“Hopefully, yes Sir,” said Rahma. The red light changed to a green light, Rendi also drove her vehicle.

Mr. Bobby took Rahma and Rendi with his family to a luxury hotel in Bandung. They'll have lunch there.

Mr. Rendi stood in front of his car waiting for the others to get off the car. After they all got out of the car then they walked together to the door of the liff in the basement. Rahma walks together with Claudia's mother. While Mr. Bobby, Rendi and Mr. Sultan street three while talking about the hotel they visited. As business people they memorized the story of the construction of the hotel.

They got in front of the liff. Rendi pressed the Liff button and before long the door of the liff opened they entered into the liff. While inside the liff, Claudia's mother keeps clinging to Rahma.

They finally arrived on the floor they were on. They came out of the liff and walked to the restaurant. In front of the restaurant they were greeted by a restaurant employee. The restaurant employee escorted them to a large table. They also sit in chairs.

A restaurant employee gave them a menu book. They choose their food menu according to their taste. After they ordered the food they went back to talking while waiting for the food. Mr. Bobby looked serious when spoken to by Mr. Sultan and Rendi so that he did not pay attention to Claudia's mother. Rahma talks to Claudia's mother.

No taste of their order food coming. They also stopped talking and enjoying the dishes that had been served on the table. Mr. Bobby enjoyed his lunch while watching Claudia's mother.

“Lumayan,” replied Ms. Claudia while enjoying her food.

“If Claudia eats at a restaurant she must say that the food is good,” said Mr. Sultan.

Bobby turned to Sultan.

“Why is that so, Mr Sultan?” ask Sir Bobby curious.

“She does not want her homemade cooking saingi by food in the restaurant. So he always answered passably,” said Mr. Sultan.

“Oh so,” said Mr. Bobby sign understand.

“I am more curious about the taste of Mother Claudia's cooking,” continued Mr. Bobby.

“Taste me bad always just taste salty. Later Mr. Bobby can be affected by hypertension,” said Claudia's mother.

“It's okay. The important thing is that I can taste the cuisine of Ms. Claudia,”, said Mr. Bobby. Claudia's mother did not respond to Mr. Bobby's words, she continued eating.

After they finished eating, they went home. In the parking lot they came back to Mr. Bobby.

“Thank you for this delicious lunch,” said Mr Sultan.

“Same, Sir. I love to eat together with family Father it feels like eating with family,” replied Mr. Bobby. Mr. Sultan and Rendi greet Mr. Bobby.

Rahma approached Sultan.

“Thanks for Mr. Bobby's help,” Rahma said.

“Sama-sama Rahma. Take good care of yourself! There are a lot of people out there like them. If you go home at night ask to be picked up by Rendi!” said Mr. Bobby.

“Good, Sir.” Rahma salutes Mr. Bobby.

It's Claudia's mother's turn.

“Thank you for lunch.” Claudia's mother cupped her palms together in front of her chest.

“Sama-sama, Mrs Claudia,” replied Mr. Bobby.

“I am waiting for an invitation to eat at Mother's house,” continued Mr. Bobby.

“Eatnya ushered to the office only, yes,” said Ms. Claudia.

“Oh, can. If Claudia's mother wants to deliver food to my office,” said Mr. Bobby with pleasure.

Claudia's mother sighed.

This guy's hard to tell. Who would take him to his office. My people want to have Mr. Lilih deliver the food, Claudia's mother said in her heart with annoyance.

“Already, yes Mr. Bobby. I have not yet prayed dzuhur. Later the rush out of prayer time dzuhur,” said Claudia's mother.

“Oh, please Mrs Claudia,” replied Mr. Bobby.

Then Rahma, Rendi and her family got into the car. Bobby's sir waited until they left. He waved his hand at Pak Sultan and Rendi's car. Until finally, Pak Sultan and Rendi's car disappeared from sight. Mr. Bobby opened the car door, Mr. Kirno driver Mr. Bobby was ready to be in the car. Mr. Bobby got into the car and shortly afterwards Mr. Bobby's car left the hotel parking area.
