Sincerity of Love JONATHAN
71. I'm overtime tonight

"Lho, how can you?" Mr. Bambang looked surprised, his eyes wide open. "Continue how is he? Has he been taken to the hospital, Leon?"

"I don't know, sir," Leon replied, shaking his head.

"But you said you knew from Juna's Papa. When did you meet Juna's Papa?" ask Mr. Bambang again.

"Not seen. But Om Tian called my Daddy. He said he had contacted me, but my number was not active from morning. Keep calling Ms. Syifa .. but don't have her number" Leon explained.

"Oh so." Mr. Bambang nodded his head. "Yes, if tomorrow or the day after Juna still does not enter.. We will all come to see him, yes, children."

"Yes, sir." Not only Leon answered, but all the students there.

"Now we're getting absent first, yeah." Mr. Bambang looked back at the absent book on the table, then began to pass one by one student in the class.

In kitchen.

"Oh yeah, Fa .. What's Joe's favorite meal?" ask Umi Maryam who is now washing some containers of her former merchandise. The sale of rice satuknya today is so selling sweet, everything is almost no residual following with fried food.

"I don't know, Umi." Syifa shook her head. Then put Joe and Robert's clothes in the washing machine.

"Have you got nothing like him?"

"No."

"Lho, it should be dong, Fa. Joe, just as Robert likes what. And from now on you also have to learn to cook, it's already married."

All this time, Syifa could not cook. Never mind to cook, help Umi Maryam to cook was not.

According to him, such a complicated job at home is cooking. Therefore, Syifa chose to help other things from homework.

"I'll try to ask Aa, or Robert when I get home from school, Umi."

"So, now what do you want Umi to cook today, Fa?"

"Umi's area only. Why did you want to cook at first?"

"So morning Abi had talked about eating the same vegetables asem, salted fish, eggplant and sambel terasi. But the problem ... Umi hesitates the cooking, Fa."

"Why song?" ask Syifa confused. "Oh .. Umi don't have any money, huh? How much do you need Umi?" Syifa had reached into a bag of jeans. But soon, Umi Maryam shook her head.

"Money is there. Just that Umi confused ..fear Robert just as Joe not doyan food soan, Fa."

"Yes too, yeah, Mi." Syifa. He also just realized. "Peat the chickens then, Mi, make them."

"What is it that's made of?"

"Sweep it. But the chicken wasn't in the fridge? Will Umi buy it with me first?"

"Let Umi alone buy into the market, anyways you'll ...." The words of Maryam immediately stopped when she heard the sound of her house bell ringing.

"Let me open it, Umi," said Syifa who passed when she had turned on the washing machine. But Umi Maryam soon caught up with him, for fear that until the coming is a bad person.

Not the intention of suu'uzan, but Umi Maryam is now more concerned with Syifa, since the woman was kidnapped.

Ceklek~

The door of the house was opened, and it was Sandi who came.

"Assalamu'alaikum Miss Maryam, Miss Syifa" he said with a smile.

"Greetings hallaikum." Syifa and Umi Maryam answered simultaneously. So Syifa also asked, "Pak Sandi no need what? Or did Aa and Robert miss something?"

"No, Mom." Sandi shook her head, then stepped towards her car and opened the trunk to pick up a few medium-sized green bags totaling 4. Then, he immediately went back to the two women who were still standing quietly in the doorway. "Sir Joe this morning called, asking me to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. He said to let Maryam not tired of buying into the market. And there's ingredients to make nasi uduk here, too, ma'am."

"God's blessing." Umi Maryam looked sparkling, seeing what she saw. Not only eggs, chicken meat, beef and vegetable oil but also some vegetables are all there. And up to the spices too. "Joe's really a good daughter-in-law, duh .. so melted Umi's heart." Umi Maryam stroked her chest, she was happy that she could not let out tears.

"When Aa did not have to bother telling Mr. Sandi to buy all this, I became bad," Syifa said unkindly.

"It's okay, Mom," Sandi replied with a smile. "Sir Joe has always been like this. So just accept .. he's a really nice guy."

"Yes. This is all I bought. I often help my Mama to the market, so know all the spices in the kitchen, Umi," replied Sandi. "Oh yeah, can I help you get to the kitchen how, Mom? It's pretty heavy."

"No need, sir," refused Syifa. Sandi is a man. And in that house there were only the two of them. So it would be nice that the man did not need to enter the house. "Me and Umi can take it on their own. Just give my thanks to Aa, will you, sir?"

"Oh yeah, that's it." Sandi's hand stretched out, then gave two bags that he had sealed into the hands of Umi Maryam, and two more into the hands of Syifa. "But better ... I was the one who thanked Mr. Joe. She must have been so happy .. if it was Mom who said it herself."

"Yes, sir." Syifa nodded. After Sandi saying hello—dia and Umi Maryam also closed the door, then stepped together back into the kitchen.

"Joe really is the best man for you, Fa," praised the gleeful-looking Umi Maryam, then put the two bags she was carrying on the table near the refrigerator. "It's like it could make a year. A lot of people."

"No, Umi, one year. The vegetables are strong for a year" Syifa said. He opened the refrigerator first, but at once his forehead flinched. "But by the way ... All these groceries are not enough, Umi, get into the refrigerator? Umi's refrigerator is small, '" he asked doubtfully. Because Umi Maryam refrigerator is only one door with dimensions of 550 x 535 x 970 mm.

"Yes too, yeah, Fa. Why didn't Umi think?" Umi Maryam immediately stared at the contents of her refrigerator which only contained ice cubes and some water bottles. "Which freezer is small, and like a lot of meat. What's loading, huh?"

"Try it first then, Umi. Maybe it's enough. Other ingredients will be cooked as well" Syifa suggested.

"Yes, Fa." Umi Maryam nodded.

They also ended up arranging some of the groceries to put in the refrigerator, and there were some that were cut into two because there was not enough space.

"Hello, assalamualaikum, A." After the afternoon shower, Syifa called Joe. In addition to wanting to say thank you, he also wanted to ask why the man had not come home yet. It's already 5 o'clock.

"Greetings hall, Yang. What are you again?"

"I'm in bed again" replied Syifa. "Oh yeah, A, thanks for some of the groceries. But Aa should not bother, Umi and I will be able to shop themselves to the market."

"It's okay, Yang. I also forgot to give you my ATM card. But when I get home, I love you, yeah."

"ATM card for what, A? I have my own ATM card."

"Yes make the shopping. A husband's time doesn't give money shopping, Yang."

"Oohh ...." Syifa's face immediately blushed. "But by the way ... Where is Aa now? Haven't you been home by office?"

"Actually already. But I think I'm late tonight, Yang."

"Lho, how's overtime? Why A?" The blushing face of our Syifa turned into a disappointed look.

"There's a new product in my office that's about to launch, but it's still a manufacturing process. So I have to check into the factory before Magrib runs out. I'm home at 7. It's okay, isn't it, huh?"

"It's okay. But who's the same overtime Aa? Is it alone?"

"My secretary. I went to the factory with him both."

"What woman is a man, A?"

"Women."

Degh's!

Syifa's heart suddenly beat, and a feeling of fear suddenly came over her. For some reason, the words of the mothers who gossiped this morning also now ring in his ears.

"Which girl, A?" syifa asked a little annoyed.

"Why is that, Yang?"

"No, men only."

"But my secretary is a girl, Yang."

"Is he married?" syifa asked suspiciously.
