DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
9. An exchange that is not comparable

"Se-seriously, Brother? Brother want to give me my cooking?" asked Neska who was now blinking in disbelief.

The young man with the stern jaw nodded his head.

"Yes, seriously. You're serious too, don't you love him?"

"Hehe, yes yes dong, brother." Neska rubbed her own nape with a clumsy demeanor.

The girl then handed the plate containing her perfumed steak tempe to Cean and was immediately greeted by the young man.

"Thank you, yeah, Nes."

"Sama-sama, Brother. I'll go back, yeah."

"Ehm, Nes?"

"Why, Brother?" Neska turned her head again, but she had started to move.

"I happened to order food online, too. We'll eat together, how?"

Whoa, wah ... What dream was Neska last night? Dinner with the Tetamren.

"Is it okay, brother?" neska Response.

"Yes, it's okay. Consider this your first visit to my apartment."

Suddenly, Neska felt that there were stars circling her head. He was almost dizzy to his delight, but hurriedly removed his dizzy will because Cean's invitation would not he think twice.

"Excuse me, take a food order from Mr. Ocean Lazuardi."

Cean and Neska immediately turned to a food courier who appeared there. Earlier, Cean advised that the food was delivered directly to the door of his apartment on the 11th floor.

"Yes, that's my order."

Cean took his food order and gave the courier two pieces of red money.

"Return---"

"Take it, Mas," Cean interrupted before the courier finished his speech.

"Thank you very much, yes, sir."

"Together." Cean smiled kindly.

While Neska who was still standing beside Cean looked at the young man with admiration.

"Does? So eat together, right?"

Neska was still silent with a glittering look at the perfect young man. If Cean did not wake him by wagging his fingers in front of the girl's face, maybe Neska would remain in her original position while drooling there.

Cean giggled amusedly because in the end Neska was aghast when she realized the situation.

"You can daydream, Nes," muttered Cean, laughing softly. "Come, come in" he continued, galloping into his own unit because they were still in the doorway.

Like hypnotized, Neska immediately followed the steps of the young man. Now he was already completely within the Cean residence which was clean and comfortable.

"I'm sorry, my apartment's a mess.".

Neska gulped her saliva roughly, even her apartment was more messy than this young man's residence. If this is a mess, how are you doing with his own residence? Think Neska.

"You sit down first, yeah, I'll get you a drink first. All this time you open it," said Cean handed the package of food he had ordered online to Neska.

Neska was still hypnotized, without a word she nodded her head and sat down on the available sofa.

Neska opened the online food parcel that Cean ordered, she found sirloin steak there.

"Geez, where did I make my sister Cean steak tempeh. My food so worthless side by side with food orders sister Cean, yes even though this is both steak," Inner Neska felt great.

Before long, Cean returned to Neska's presence with his drink, he also brought a spoon and dinner knife to complete their impromptu dinner at this time.

"Ehm, Brother?" Neska said hesitantly.

"Yes?"

"Here, you eat your food, I eat my own food" Neska suggested.

Cean frowned in wonder. Didn't Neska just share her food? Why did this girl ask to eat her own food.

"But you gave me your food, right?" ask Cean. The young man then took the plate in front of Neska, he brought it in front of himself. "You cook steak? I also ordered the steak earlier," he said with a small oddity.

Neska scratched her temple at a glance. "I-iya, anyway, brother. But--" Neska said that she only gave steak tempeh, not comparable to Cean food orders, but the man had hunted down the food he had craved even before Neska came to his residence.

"Enak ... What's this meat, Nes?" cean's response was beyond Neska's prediction, the girl gaped in disbelief, could Cean not feel that it was not meat but tempeh?

Neska patted her own eel. Cursed themselves. How could Cean seem to enjoy his homemade steak and ignore the sirloin steak he ordered.

"Come, you eat too, dong! I eat alone."

"Yes, Brother." Neska took the spoon hesitantly, to be honest she was confused about where to start eating now.

"Come on, eat Nes. Do I want to cut the sirloin?"

"Nake?"

Neska couldn't possibly lie, she nodded at Cean's question.

"Hmm, good, if that's your abisin steak, I'll also abisin your cooking."

"But, Brother?"

"Can't do it, huh?"

"It's not that ..."

"Certainly? Seriously, this is delicious. You're a pinter cook."

Neska grimaced. He put on a stiff grin. "Aren't you going to try the sirloin?" tanyanya.

"No, for you. Abisin all of them. I also eat that too. If you make this the first time."

"Hehehe ..." Neska laughed bitterly.

"Oh, yes, you haven't answered what meat steak? Like chicken, but how can there be such a nut flavor? What's the sauce, huh?"

Neska bit her lower lip.

"Dis?"

"Yes, brother? Um.. it's actually steak tempeh," she admitted frankly.

For a while, Cean was silent but then chuckled. "Originally, I don't think this is tempeh, I think it's from meat. Hahaha," the young man's laughter exploded. Neska's getting bad.

"Sorry, brother."

"Kok, sorry? What are you wrong?"

"Yes, our exchanges are not comparable. Cook me sirloin from brother, but I just give you big steak tempe."

Once again Cean. He took a drink to neutralize the atmosphere. These neskas were too plain or anything, where perhaps he was comparing their food. Besides he never thought of getting there, instead he was grateful - thanks to Neska he was able to taste foods like this that might not be on the menu list of foods that he would try. However, after feeling this food is quite delicious, Cean just want to repeat to eat it again someday.

"Nes, seriously this food you love is delicious. Why do you feel guilty?"

"Aren't you feeling comfortable?" tanya Neska with pursed lips later.

That's where Cean saw that Neska was very funny. He just realized that this girl besides being innocent was also very adorable.

"Udah, you are the sirloin. I didn't order the food exchange, because I won't be able to steak tempeh like gini again next time."

Neska was moved by Cean's words, she felt that Cean really was praising and appreciating his cooking. Neska like soaring in the air. Especially while enjoying sirloin which is also difficult for him to eat later in the day. Yes, it's not just Cean who feels that way, because he also feels that he wouldn't be able to eat this expensive steak if it wasn't for Cean.

They ate in silence, of course accompanied by Neska who stole a glance at the young man beside her.

"Sister's boyfriend isn't here?" ask Neska curiously.

"Wenda is sick."

Oh, so his name is Wenda, Inner Neska.

"Why don't you keep him?"

Cean smiled faintly at the girl's innocent question, wanting it to feel like she was answering 'what's taking care of her? Wenda's been guarding there.' But, there was no way he would say that.

"Why? Do I have to take care of him?" Cean asked back.

"Yes, brother is his girlfriend, you should be there, take care of him until he's healed. As I wish, that's what couples call."

Cean pegged a bland smile. "Why do you know that? Do you have a boyfriend? Have you ever dated?" ask her to the girl.

"Ehm..." Neska lowered her gaze, then shook her head.

"Haha, if that's the case, it hasn't been an experience, has it?"

"Well, boro-boro experience, brother. I've never dated" Neska admitted honestly.

"Yes good that way. You go to school diligently and don't think about men first" Cean said wisely.

"Sister included?" asked Neska again innocently.

That's where Cean flinched. "Me?" tanyanya pointed at herself.

"Ng-- sorry yes, brother. I mispronounced. I'm done eating. Excuse me, yeah."

The girl hurriedly got up and then moved as fast as lightning, she felt that her words had become clear and she was ashamed to admit it.
