Ellian
13. Riceboy

Unknowingly Ellie admired the man who was eating voraciously in front of her. "Mas, can something not be?" Ellie opened her voice.

"Can you ask what?" David sipped mineral water from the bottle after finishing his meal. The man seemed to be hungry, proved he ate as fast as lightning.

"Your mom didn't cook? Why eat out?" Ellie asked hesitantly worried that her interlocutor was offended.

"I don't know" replied David flatly.

"Lohs? Didn't you come home? Or just coming home from college? What is this clock in the mas campus?" Ellie looked at her wrist watch, which showed nine o'clock at night, over fifteen minutes.

"Just come home from the office, then the sluggishness of the same keinget you" said David honestly.

Instead of being happy to hear David's words, Ellie instead moved her lips to snatch an annoyed "uh do I look like a rice cooker?"

David instead of apologizing instead laughed widely, unconsciously raised his hand touched the top of Ellie's head shuffling her hair "funny the hell you".

Ellie was electrocuted, she froze in place. His heart rippled to get a sweet treatment from David just now. Just a touch of a moment of being hailed alone was able to tear apart his heart.

David stood up from his place "wait here, I want to pay" David told Ellie.

Ellie nodded obediently, she again sipped her sweet tea that was no longer warm. He spent the drink in exchange for not being able to enjoy how delicious David's duck rice was.

After paying, David returned to his original place with something similar to a crackle bag in his right hand. He took Ellie back to the store. On the way home they engaged in small talk and relaxed.

Suddenly David sidesteps his car to the side of the road and turns off the car engine. "Why stop here?" Ellie looked to her right side.

David did not answer he was taking a cellphone from his pants pocket and then staring at the flat screen that had been continuously vibrating.

His expression was shocked and seemed reluctant to answer the call. But the phone remains faithful to vibrate signifying the caller remains adamant in contacting him.

"Hallo, what's wrong?" he finally answered the call. It was only an hour ago that David left his office. And now Roy the assistant called him.

"Gue wanted to tell elo about the offer we made to ABC group a week ago" he said.

"What did you say?"

"ABC group just said that if they accept our offer, yess we managed Vid yess!"

"Good, you get everything ready tomorrow. It's the night you go home for a break. I'm hanging up the phone now. Again there is something that is not less important also this" he concluded ending the phone connection without waiting for someone across the street to reply to his words.

Hearing David's words, Ellie turned to "what's important now?" tanyanya polo's.

After putting his phone back in his pants pocket, David smiled at Ellie. "Nganterin you're back at the kost. Your hostel, there's a curfew, right?"

"Yes, uh but how do you know? And also where do you know my boarding address. All of a sudden I was standing in front?" Ellie's asking full of probes like a detective in action.

"Tomorrow to talk, we have a long time tomorrow. Now we only have five minutes". David pointed to the digital clock on the dashboard of the car with his chin.

"Oh my goodness" Ellie's eyes were perfectly rounded as she looked in the direction that David had pointed. Ten o'clock in less than five minutes. "Let's speed up" he said.

Ellie's boarding house is a special boarding school so it's only natural that there is a curfew rule. That is ten o'clock at night right the gate will be locked from the inside by the hostess.

Although all residents have duplicate keys, after ten o'clock the fence will be closed with a different padlock from the inside so it cannot be opened from the front.

David drove at high speed, fortunately the road was a bit quiet and the location of the stall was not too far from Ellie's boarding house.

At exactly ten o'clock in the night David's car stopped in front of Ellie's boarding house. Ellie quickly removed the seat belt and opened the car door. But the car door was already open. He looked up at the man who opened the door.

"Novi" cried Ellie surprised. Novi opened the door. At first he thought David was disappointed in Ellie.

"The hunt is down" said his best friend.

Ellie said she was about to get off David's car, at that time David gave a package to Ellie "This is for you, if not you can both eat the same food as you" said David.

Ellie looked a little surprised, she grabbed the package and nodded. The next second he bowed for a moment to say goodbye to the man. "Thank you, I went in first yeah, you're careful on the road. Bye" Ellie smiled at David.

David nodded and returned Ellie's smile "Tomorrow I picked up at seven in the morning, our plane at nine because" he said as he passed gas slowly the car drove away leaving Ellie who was gawking in shock.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" ellie asked in surprise, and there was certainly no answer. Because David's car is gone.

This man was full of surprises, Ellie's heart unwittingly warmed, her cheeks blushing red her face still adorned with a sweet smile.

Ellie turned her body about to enter the boarding house, but was blocked by Novi who was still there. "Where are you going tomorrow? All plane rides?" ask Novi.

In a hurry Ellie looked away, she was embarrassed to fall in love with David. He gave the package to Novi's hand.

"What'sthis? The bribe story?" novi meledek.

"So, there used to be a mother" Ellie exclaimed, bowing respectfully to her hostess. The hostess with a waistline was about to lock the gate.

The two friends rushed into the house and headed to the room. After closing the door of the room, a savory scent pierced the noses of the two.

Compact two pairs of eyes were fixed on a black crackle package in the hands of Novi. "Let's attack" they said simultaneously.
