Chapter 5 Let's go

"Sis, let's go!"

Someone's invitation made Nada immediately raise her head. He was shocked to see who was currently standing in front of him.

"You?"

"Hehe, yes, Sis, it's me," Akbar grinned.

"I thought you were gone," said Nada as he got up and was about to leave.

"I'm waiting for you, Sis, so we can go together," explained Akbar as he followed Nada.

Nada stopped in his tracks. Then he turned to Akbar who was beside him.

"With?" Nada repeated in a tone of astonishment

"I want to go to Jakarta, you better continue your journey," said Nada as he continued walking.

"I also want to go to Jakarta, Sis. I do live there. "I went to Lampung after doing research on Mount Krakatoa," he explained.

Without paying attention, Akbar Nada continued walking. With eyes constantly looking for something, a suitable breakfast for him and Nazril. Meanwhile Akbar was still faithfully following Nada from behind. Without Nada's knowledge, Akbar secretly followed Nada from the ship. I don't know why Akbar really wants to help Nada.

Even though Akbar didn't know what Nada was going to Jakarta for. Do you live in Jakarta or maybe you want to visit relatives? Who knows. What is certain is that Akbar wants to accompany Nada until she reaches her destination safely.

"Ma'am," Akbar called, feeling neglected.

"Hmm," answered Nada.

"Where are you going again?" Akbar asked

Again, Akbar was just ignored by Nada. Nada did not respond to Akbar's question. This actually made Akbar smile.

'Seeing Ms. Nada reminds me of the late Ms. Niken,' thought Akbar.

In the end, Akbar chose to remain silent and just follow wherever Nada went. Until Nada stopped right in front of the cart that said Chicken Porridge. Her and Nazril's favorite breakfast.

Nada, Nazril and Akbar sat on the porch. On the mat provided by the seller. Then Nada ordered three portions of chicken porridge.

"Oh, Ma'am, are you looking for breakfast?" asked Akbar after several minutes of silence.

Nada didn't answer, he just smiled. However, this was different from Nazril, who seemed curious about the figure of the man who had been following him.

"Oh, who?" Nazril asked.

Akbar, who felt he was being asked, immediately looked at Nazril.

"Oh my, I almost forgot. We haven't met yet, have we?" regretful Akbar Sabari patted his forehead as a sign of regret.

"I'm Nazril," answered Nazril

"Uncle, his name is Akbar, nice to meet you, okay?"

Akbar raised his hand as if he wanted to high-five as a sign of introduction. Nazril understands, because he does

I often do that with Yudi.

"We're friends, now."

"Yes, Uncle Akbar is now Nazril's friend, hooray, Nazril has a friend." Nazril was so happy.

"Mother, Nazril has a new friend," Nazril complained to Nada, Nada responded with a smile.

A few minutes later, three portions of chicken porridge were served at the table in front of them. Akbar, who felt he had not ordered, was surprised when the chicken porridge seller suddenly placed it right in front of him.

Just as Akbar was about to speak up to protest because he felt he had not ordered, the tone immediately turned on.

"Just eat. Jakarta is far away and we don't know when the bus will stop. What if you starve on the road?"

Akbar smiles. "Ah, Miss Nada is really kind, I'm humbled."

"Oh, what is humiliation?" Nazril suddenly asked.

"I mean moved. Haha." Akbar grinned.

"Oh."

Akbar looked back at Nada.

"Thank you, sis, that's good."

The conversation stopped for a moment, the three of them were too focused on enjoying breakfast. Even though it's just porridge for breakfast, hopefully it can satisfy your hunger. Nada has to save money because he doesn't know how long he will stay in Jakarta. Of course, if she didn't save money then it would be certain that before her husband met her, her provisions would have run out.

Akbar was the first to finish his breakfast. While waiting, Akbar continued to chatter, it seemed he was so curious about Nada that he asked all about Nada.

"Ma'am, which side is Jakarta? Who knows, maybe you'll be on the same route as me, so I can take you and Nazril to your destination?"

"Nazril wants to look for Dad, Uncle," chirped Nazril suddenly, causing Nada to call his name. Nazril understands that when he talks to other people and Nada says his name, it means he has to be quiet and can't talk carelessly.

"Nazril. "Finish the food first," said Nada and Nazril agreed.

Nada continued her breakfast, unlike Akbar. He had only known Nada a few hours ago, it could even be said that he hadn't known her for a day. But, for some reason, Akbar really wants to help Nada. There is something that means Akbar must help him, but who knows what. Could it be because Nada looks like her late sister-in-law? Who knows.

After breakfast, Nada was about to pay. But it had already been paid for by Akrab. In the most anti-troubling tone, he also intended to reimburse Akbar for the money he spent to pay for breakfast. In fact, his initial intention was that he would pay Akbar's property but instead he was paid.

"Why do you have to bother paying for mine and Nazril's? I have money, really. Take this, in exchange for your money." Nada reached out and in her hand was the money to replace Akbar's money.

"No need, sis. "I know Sis must have money. But, when men are paid by women, where do I put my self-esteem, Sis," he explained and it actually made Nada smile, even just a little.

"You're just there. "Besides, I had intended to pay for yours as well," explained Nada with a smile.

"Well, that's it, Sis. Smile, you look even more beautiful."

The smile on Nada's lips suddenly disappeared and this made Akbar immediately surprised. In just a few minutes, Nada's expression immediately changed.

'Did I say something wrong?' thought Akbar.
