Hacking Flavors
Arriving at Mark's House

The next afternoon, Lala finally came home. I kind of forced her to hitchhike with Mark's car. Because that afternoon I also said goodbye to Nila to go follow Mark out of town.

I'm gonna start working at Mark's office in another town.

Nila still put on a sad face while the three of us left in the end. I know, maybe our departure soon after Laila died, will make it difficult for Nila to adapt to the loneliness that will face her in that house later.

But at least, there is still Bik Tum and also Mr. Kus who will accompany and keep Nila in the house. So I'm not too worried.

I even deliberately invited Mr. Kus to talk alone behind the house. To him, I leave Nila to be guarded. Thank goodness, Mr. Kus would accept my request.

Before we actually left, I heard the screams of Nila standing on the porch of the house. He shouted the following sentence.

"Remember it! Three weeks, you should go home! We're gonna celebrate our anniversary together, Mark! You promised me!" Shouted Nila.

"Yes. Yep. Yep. Just remind me the day before, Nile!" Reply Mark shouted.

"No! I don't want to just remind you the day before! I will remind you often, brother! Every day maybe?" Nila said as she chuckled softly.

"Haha! You brat! We are 25 years old, Nile. You're so busy waiting for our birthday celebration like a kid looking forward to his birthday!" Ledek Mark's.

"Hey!" Nila glared at Mark from a distance.

"Yes already! Nile, we go home first! Take care of your health, ok. Don't let my fat brother take care of me when I get back here again!" Mark's message reminded Nila.

"Yes! Go there! You really are a bitch, Mark!" Nila's grunts are upset because they are said to be fat.

Brakes.

Mark closed the door of his car tightly. And then I say goodbye to Nila from the seat next to Mark. While Lala was sitting sweetly in our backseat.

"We're going yes, Nile! Take good care of yourself!" Shouted loudly.

The car that took us started to drive. But before we moved away, I had a chance to catch the sight of Nila rubbing one cheek with her hands.

I think Nila just cried on the porch there.

After traveling for about an hour, we finally arrived at the city where Mark and Lala lived. Mark takes Lala home to his apartment. Only then did Mark take me home.

Yep. Mark lives in an old house he bought about two years ago. What surprised me the most was when I realized that Mark's house was next to Karina's parents' house.

Yep. I still remember the shape of Karina's parents' house. Because that's our first goal, when we just got back from Nevarest.

I drove Karina and her daughter Rinaya into this house.

"Which why? This is my house, Bang!" Tegur Mark who looked at me was astonished.

I was stunned for a while while looking closely at the house next to Mark's house.

"The house." I said hang.

"That's my neighbor's house, Bang. His people are fine. But Mark heard, her mother is sick again. Uh! Just go in first yuk, Bang! We're in ngadem first!" Invite Mark while pushing the turnstile until it closes back.

I followed Mark into his house.

"You live here alone, Mark?" Ask me wonder.

"Yes, Bang. How's it? My house is pretty cozy, right?" Mark asked awaiting my assessment of this house.

I walked for a while looking around.

"good. But, isn't this house too big for you, Mark? I thought you were living in that apartment" I said honestly.

"Haha! Yes, too, Bang. But I don't know why I like this house so much, Bang. It's like my mom's house in X.. So there's a feeling that I feel like I'm staying at Mama's house" Mark replied with a faint smile.

And I really value Mark's words. This house does have a lot of similarities with my house in town X. Starting from the location of the door and the layout is almost similar. I even realized some of the furniture was similar to the one at home.

I looked at Mark with an intense gaze. Dna Mark realized that I was watching him. He also became angry. And finally commented.

"I'm quite melancholy, Bang. You could say that.." Mark is honest.

After that, Mark drove me to a room on the first floor. The room is quite spacious.

"Abang while living here was okay, right Bang? If for example Abang will want to find a place to live alone is also okay. Or if you want to stay here with me that's even better!" Said Mark.

"Where? That's okay, isn't it, Bang?" Ask Mark anxiously.

"Well, good. Thank you, Mark. Already want to let me hitch a ride in your house." I said sincerely.

I really don't know where I would have gone if Mark hadn't offered me to stay in this house.

While I'm definitely not gonna stay as long as she's at my house and Laila's in X. Because now the house is occupied by Nila.

Although I am Papa Nila, but in the eyes of those who see me, they will not consider me like that. Precisely my existence in that house will only have a negative impact on Nila's reputation. And I don't want that until it happens.

"Together, Bang! I also thank you very much, because my brother already wants to join me to work at my company. I'm sure, with all of your intelligence, my company will be moving forward!" Imbuh Mark commends me.

"ah! Don't over-complicate me, Mark. However, I still have a lot to learn," said I humbled.

"Yes already. If so, Mark lives first, Bang. We will order delivery food. What do you want to eat?" Ask Mark while opening the app on his device.

"What is okay!" Answer me casually.

"Well. Soto Lamongan kayak is okay, Bang?" Ask Mark again.

And I gave him a thumbs up. As a sign of my approval for our dinner choices later.

After that Mark decided to clean up. The room is upstairs.

He offered to stay in another empty room upstairs. It's just that I rejected him.

The taste is not good also if two single men live in the same house on the same floor? Well, even though Mark and I have formed a bro ship. But still, in the eyes of other people, we are just two single men with looks that are quite attractive to the eye.

I don't want my presence in this house to bring bad perception to my son's reputation. And I still remember my promise to Laila too. That after his death, I will take care of our two children as well as possible.

Yes Mark. And also Nila.
