“I'll come with you. Mount Salak, right? Then we went to the forest?“ Isander still remembered the road he had been on. One way to get to Mount Salak is through the forest.
Giya nodded confirming Isander's words.
“We'll be there two days later. Tomorrow you will take me to the city of Bogor to pick up goods, who knows there are still good items there,”, Giya told Isander.
“Needle? Is there still good stuff after years of abandoned cities?“ Isander's confused. According to him, it would be very difficult to find items in a ruined city.
If you want goods, usually the residents outside the city barter or exchange goods. The goods they have are usually obtained from collecting, but most of the goods are given by family or close relatives who are trusted.
Isander and Meisya did not bring clothes at all, he was also confused to change clothes because there was no substitute shirt.
“In the ruins of many items found, especially in the interior of the mall that was destroyed, many clothes are still wrapped in plastic, the residents usually flock there to look for the goods, the,” Giya tells this information which for Isander is important information.
“Good, I'll come along. How about you, honey?“ Isander turned to Meisya who was silent from the beginning and listened.
Meisya nodded her small head. “I want to come too. I'm not worried that if there's a monster, Dad can definitely defeat it! Dad is great!“
Meisya's reply made Isander and Giya smile, this child still did not finish admiring his father, Isander.
“As you can see, we will both come along. I really need clothes.“
“Oh, yes. I forgot!“ Giya suddenly patted her forehead. He forgot something. “Wait here. I have something for Meisya.“
“Something? Does Brother Giya want to give me candy?“ Meisya looked at Giya with a hopeful look.
“Not, Cute Meisya. This thing must have liked Meisya. Wait, yes.“
Soon, Giya opens the sounding wooden door and exits Isander's house.
While waiting for Giya to return, Isander and Meisya look around the house again and tidy up some parts of the house.
This house does not provide a soft mattress, there is only wood made as a bed with a flat surface and then wrapped with worn cloth as the base.
Isander's bag he carried was placed on the bed and he took some snacks for Meisya, a biscuit that has nutritional value though not so big and boxed milk.
In this bag not only provides food, but there are bottled drinks or drinks that are in the packaging and ready to drink, such as boxed milk, bottled mineral water, and canned soda.
Meisya held onto the packaged food Isander took out of the bag with a curious look.
Isander's hand gently picked up the milk box not held by Meisya and then thrust the straw into the hole of the milk box.
“Drink this, Darling.“ Isander thrusts the milk box to Meisya.
Seeing this, Meisya immediately took the milk box with both hands and tried to follow Isander who was both grasping the milk box.
Isander's mouth sucks straws and brown milk out of the straw and into the mouth.
Meisya tried it and it worked. As soon as the sweet and delicious milk entered Meisya's small mouth, her eyes rounded for a moment and Meisya came down from the bed and swayed. Meisya is dancing by herself.
“Mmm, delicious!“ Meisya drank milk until her eyes narrowed.
Milk is indeed the most preferred drink of children, even adults, just different packaging, adults prefer that has a chewy packaging and round shape.
Meisya's behavior is very funny, Isander can't bear to not rub Meisya's small head and kiss her cheek.
After that, Isander opened a wheat biscuit with chocolate. This biscuit has a lot of content, enough to be eaten in a crowd.
Before long, the Giya they were waiting for came, but she came not alone, but with one more person, and it was a woman.
Isander could see the appearance of this woman, wearing a gray sweatshirt with a slightly damaged black leather jacket and sexy shorts or brown hot pants, black sports shoes.
Overall the appearance of this woman is no less beautiful with Giya, especially her hair that is tied by a horse slightly upwards so that the smooth neckline looks and adds to the impression of an adult woman.
The two women entered the room and stood in front of Isander and Meisya who were sitting on the bed.
“I'm back with my friend.“ Giya turned to her friend who was at the side. “This introduction is my friend from Garuda City named Nina Novanto.“
After saying that, Giya's friend extended her hand forward intending to shake hands with Isander.
However, it was not Isander's hand that took Giya's friend's hand, but Meisya's small hand.
“Hello, Sister Nina! I'm Meisya!“ meisya said as she held the milk box in her left hand.
This woman named Nina was startled at a glance, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. “Halo, Meisya! You are so funny.“
This woman's hand moved and gently touched Meisya's puffed cheek.
“Dad?“ Nina's face was confused and she subconsciously turned the look of her eyes to Isander.
“This Father Meisya.“ Meisya moved and sat on Isander's lap quickly. “My father is handsome, right?“
The corner of Isander's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly looking at Nina's face. “My name isander, father of Meisya. Greetings know.“
“Emm .. hello, I'm Nina. Greetings know.“ Nina also smiled stiffly looking at Isander's eyes.
Apart from that, Isander was indeed handsome in Nina's eyes, according to what Giya said.
When Giya came out and was about to go to her house, she suddenly met Nina who had been helping the villagers hunt cows and chickens in the forest.
It so happens that there is Nina, Giya does not have to wait long to introduce Nina with Isander. So, he invites Nina to go with him to Isander's house, with a persuasive sentence in the form that there is a handsome man that Giya met.
Which woman was not interested in the sentence, Nina finally happily looked at that handsome person and followed Giya.
“Meisya, come here, I brought something for you.“ Giya waved her hand gesturing for Meisya to come to him.
Hearing this, Meisya immediately descended from Isander's two thighs and walked to the front of Giya who was standing.
Afterwards, Giya's hand revealed something from behind her body that turned out to be a set of clothes consisting of dark blue-colored clothes and trousers. “Shirt for Meisya.“
“Wow! Clothes!“ Meisya exclaimed and she immediately took the shirt from Giya's hand.
Then he put the stacking box on the mattress and Meisya unfolded the clothes to see the whole outfit.
This shirt seems to be a little child's nightgown or pajamas, there is a black heart pattern all over the shirt and pants.
Seeing this shirt, Meisya was very happy and she thanked Giya. “Thank you, Sister Giya!“
“Sama-sama.“ Giya smiled gently at Meisya.
“Thank you, Giya.“ Isander is happy and he should appreciate Giya's kindness.
“Same-sama, Isander. It was my nightgown as a child that I kept until now, a memento from my mother. Dear unused, I decided to give it to Meisya.“
“Is it okay?“ Isander becomes unwell, the clothes that Giya gave him have a history and a story.
“It's okay, I'm happy if this outfit is worn again, let alone worn by a cute kid, like Meisya.“
“Good, I will remember this kindness.“ Isander smiled and nodded.
After that, Isander told the two to try the biscuits that Isander had opened.
Both of these women were shocked when they saw this food. Food served by Isander is a rare food.
This food pack has no brand, no expiry date or expiry date.
Again Giya asked about the origin of this food, and Isander answered with the same answer, as in the morning.
Isander's alibi is removed and says that this biscuit is the last meal, so Giya does not ask again.
Before nightfall, Isander is invited by Giya and Nina to get acquainted with the people in the settlement who have a total population of more than 100 people. Pretty much.
Afterwards, Isander and Meisya sleep in his new residence.
In the morning, Isander helps the residents who are cooking for breakfast, in the form of chicken meat burned with bamboo. Isander helps the part that cuts the chicken meat.
This food is quite delicious even though the flavor is only in the form of so little salt.
After breakfast, several residents gathered to get ready to leave the settlement. They have a purpose to search for items in Bogor City while hunting livestock.
“You guys ready?“ A somewhat old man spoke loudly to the dozens of people in front of him.
“Ready, Sir!“
“Ready!“
“We're ready!“
They all answered almost simultaneously.
“Ayo departing!“
