Store Story

"Already, let it go. He probably wants to be alone!" Rika whispered to Ramon.

Ramon took his wife's word for it; perhaps Koko had received some unpleasant news and wanted to be alone for a while.

Rika and Ramon then went back to work today. The shop would close at 5 pm because they had to wait for a buyer from out of town.

While waiting for his guest to arrive, Ramon asked Rani, his employee, to buy him something to eat in the late afternoon.

"What would you like to eat?" Ramon asked before Rani left.

Rika shook her head, not knowing what she could buy nearby.

"Do you want Ceu Mar?" Ramon asked.

"What's that?" I asked Rika, who didn't understand what Ramon meant.

Ramon then told her that Ceu Mar was the name of a stall near Jalan Braga that sold delicious jengkol and beef offal; Ramon often bought tripe and intestines, which tasted very good.

Rika nodded; she really liked the food that smelled of cow offal and jengkol.
