The aroma that is released when cooked makes the hunger appear suddenly. Anna was determined to stop by herself at the food stall, but when she saw Abbas who approached her, she chatted for a while and invited Abbas to join her to eat with him on the grounds of his replacement.
The location near the roadside makes the food stalls crowded, during the late afternoon until evening. Like today all the tables in the tent stalls are filled with visitors who come to enjoy appetizing food.
After convinced to invite Abbas to accompany her to a meal at a roadside food stall, Anna first ordered food for her and Abbas. Now, on the table of food that from earlier made Anna tempted to enjoy it.
Anna ordered a chicken pecel with one serving of nasi uduk and one glass of warm sweet orange water. So did Abbas, the food they ordered was the same. Anna also added a few stitches of Ati ampella made like satay. Abbas just shook his head to see it.
Fried chicken, ati ampela, and tofu tempeh. What makes it special is the devil's spicy sauce. The patch of ulek is prepared fresh from red cayenne pepper in addition to fresh cucumber, cabbage, and basil leaves.
"Abang really, don't pa-pa eat here" Anna again asked to reassure.
"What's wrong, An! I'm used to ko, eating in a place like this, just relax!" answer Abbas.
"Yes, it's not good, I'm it, Bang! The time of a service office leader, I'm eating by the side of the road!" Anna smiled "But today, I'm the deal, Bang!" exclaim Anna.
Abbas nodded, confirming Anna's words.
Anna prayed first before devouring the chicken pecel which made her more tasteful to eat it.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim," said Anna.
Abbas smiled hearing that. Although not completely changed beliefs. Anna used to say basmallah every start in doing something.The habit just flows because she is always near good people. Maira has always been a good example for him.
They both ate with wisdom. Abbas occasionally looked towards Anna who was ungainly while eating with him.
that's what Abbas likes about Anna always being herself. Anna herself looks excited to spend the food in her message.
The sound of ringtones made Anna pause her eating activities.
Anna forgets she hasn't had time to tell Mama and Aunt Melly.
"Yes Mah, sorry! Anna forgot from the rain. This is Anna again eating at the chicken pecel shop, same time Anna mah! Mama want Anna to buy you some food?" Anna immediately explained to Mama Ami who was worried about her when answering a phone call from her mother.
"No need, son. Mama ate it with Aunt Melly. You be careful going home, not too late! not good with Aunt Melly and Om Anwar" exclaimed Mama Ami.
"Yes, Mah. Finish eating Anna right home! Miss U, Mah."
"Miss U too baby, Mama wait ya."
"Ready." Anna ended her phone call.
Anna resumed her delayed eating, She spent the remaining food on her plate, satay ati ampela was not free in her voracious.
Anna glanced at Abbas, and the food on Abbas's plate was gone. The dirty plate was already moved from before him. At this moment Abas's gaze turned towards Anna while continuing to pay attention to her.
Anna, who was noticed by Abbas, felt awkward.
"Don't look at me like that!" said Anna as she fed her last feed, then piled up the dirty dishes, then dipped her hands into a small bowl of water with a few slices of orange so as not to smell fishy. Not to forget Anna dried her hands with the tissue available there.
Abbas chuckled little to see Anna's behavior.
"You rich don't eat all day" mocked Abbas.
"Buehh ... Brother! don't be so loud talking about it. I'm ashamed!" Anna glanced right and left feeling embarrassed if anyone heard Abbas's words.
"Haha." Abbas was laughing more and more.
This is a common relationship that Abbas missed when he was not with Anna. It felt comfortable and happy feeling.
Anna is increasingly embarrassed by Abbas.
"The rich are starving, huh, Bang? the sauce is so delicious!"
Abbas smiled then shook his head then nodded. He still teases Anna.
"Dnh ... Brother, what does it mean to try" Anna scowled at him.
"I'm glad you always show your true attitude!" Abbas continued to look towards Anna without diminishing the smile on his face.
Anna folded both her hands on the table then hid the face on top of the pile of her hands.
Abbas kept smiling.
"Oh, yeah! I forgot to. You want Anna's anterine to Om Anwar's house?"
Abbas nodded. "I won't leave you alone, get there! Come on, come on in a little while magrib, still a long way to your Om's house?" abbas asked as he stood to get out of the tent.
"Decorder ko, Bang! wait, this time I'll pay you, 'I'll buy it!" Anna walked ahead of Abbas. Abbas did not want to pay for his lunch this afternoon.
Anna and Abbas are in the car. They're going to Om Anwar's house. Anna gave Abbas a path.
On a trip that was not long before Anna and Ababa were talking again.The longer the closeness between them the closer.
Abbas has never been this close to a woman. Maybe because of the feelings he had for Anna.
Abbas tried to hold back this feeling, but love came on its own uncontrollably.he once held back the feeling of thinking it was impossible to continue his feelings because of the difference in belief between them.
Every event that always brings them together. As time went on, the feeling continued to grow. Abbas has always tried to restrain and control himself not to express his feelings.
When he learned of Anna's heart and intentions before getting close to her, that Anna wanted to learn more about Islam, especially Abbas saw Anna's progress when learning everything.
The feeling was getting uncontrollable, little by little he poured out his feelings through attitude. He wanted Anna to be determined on the basis of her heart not because of someone. Abbas felt the same way as Anna. His love feelings together, maybe Anna thinks the same with him. It is the difference of belief that makes them both hold back their feelings.
***
Abbas's vehicle arrived at Om Anwar's residence. The luxurious building looks so stunning. Housing in the southern area of Jakarta is the target of entrepreneurs because of the travel path, location, atmosphere and entertainment venues available around it.
Anna invites Abbas to stop by Om Anwar's house before he gets out of Abbas's car. Maghrib time is almost here any minute.
Aunt Melly who happened to be outside with Mama Ami saw the existence of a car that stopped right in front of the gate of her house.
"What's Anna, Mel?" mama Ami asked when the black car stopped in front of Aunt Melly's house.
"Let's see first!" Aunt Melly stood up and walked over to the gate, confirming who had stopped in front of her house.
"Angt ... Want to stop by first? I'm introducing my Aunt and Mama. Coincidentally Mama just arrived this afternoon from Surabaya," asked Anna.
Abbas saw the time on the watch in his hand. "Yes, it's coming soon to Maghrib time, isn't it a hassle if I stop by?" Abbas asked back.
"It's troubling, if you ask for more food. I just had to eat again!" kanda Anna's.
Abbas and Anna laughed with a joke.
"I'm not that greedy. Who spends food until it's like they haven't eaten all day, like who was it?" Abbas insinuated Anna, holding his chin as if he was thinking.
"Buehh ... Brother, mah even quipped.!" Anna pouting.
"Haha ..." Abbas laughed again.
