All because of Angel

Chapter 40

Angel entered her husband's residence. When he was about to set foot on the footing of the winding stairs and quite long like a palace, he was called by a soft voice which of course belonged to Lovi.

"You didn't come home with Andrean?"

"No, Mom,"

"Andrean's busy today? She's coming home at night?"

"Andrean accompanies Auris to the bookstore, Mom,"

"Oh yeah, Mommy forgot that this morning Auris whined because of that. Yeah, you rest now,"

"Yes, Mom,"

"How was your search today? Got a job yet?"

"Already, Mom. At the cafe Mc----,"

"Hmm so yes, soon you are rarely at home,"

Lovi looks moody because soon his friend at home when the person who some days is his friend when other residents are active outside the house, will work.

"Oh yes, Mommy wants to say, when it starts working, don't get tired of doing this and that's yes. Including cooking. You're gonna be exhausted, Angel. This time please listen to Mommy. You're here as Andrean's wife not our chef,"

Lovi chuckled a little in his final sentence. I hope Angel is not offended by his words.

"Yes, Mom. But I'm glad to do it,"

"But not again. When did you start working?"

"Tomorrow, Mom,"

"Okay, from tomorrow there's no need to cook as usual,"

"But if I'm going to cook it's okay, isn't it, Mom?"

"Yes, it's okay,"

Angel smiled happily. Although he thinks it is too excessive if he is forbidden to cook, but if Lovi has asked like that then Angel can not deny it.

Angel climbed up the floor where her husband's room was. In the second-floor corridor, he saw the maid cleaning.

Twice a day is their schedule to clean the house, especially the floor that is often touched.

"Woah so diligent,"

Angel greeted the three women on duty. They smile nodding.

Angel apologized before stepping on the floor they had cleaned when they wanted to go to Andrean's room.

"I help, I put this down first" his hand pulled the strap out of his neck. Then go into the room put the bag down.

"No need, Miss Angel. It's almost done" said one of the maids when Angel would dry the floor with her tools.

"It's okay, I don't have any activities. Bored in the room keeps doing nothing,"

Angel is stubborn. Rather than She in the room alone doing nothing because the room He lives in a neat and clean condition, better He helps them while waiting for her husband to come home.

"Good God, Miss Angel. Been already,"

"Sstt please, let me help. Seriously, I'm lazy to just stay in the room,"

They were silent when Angel said like that while putting his index finger in front of his lips.

Angel is really weird. He had just come home but chose to help when fatigue must have afflicted him.

Andrean is not wrong to pin two words 'too diligent' at that time he met his wife was cleaning iron on the balcony of the room and change the lights that had begun to dim even though there were men who usually do that.

Andrean went into the room feeling confused because he did not see his wife. It turns out Angel's on the balcony, busy on her own.

But lucky He who was just home from work asked to make warm tea, Angel immediately left his busy life to serve the husband. The opportunity was used by Andrean to ask the workers at home to continue Angel's activities. Afterwards Angel looks upset because her husband gave the job to someone else even though he wants to finish it.

"Well, so get it done quickly, right, if it's done together,"

Angel stared satisfiedly at the floor in the already sparkling corridor. It was nice to see the one cleaning.

"Thank you, Miss Angel,"

"Return of love. Do not hesitate if you need help, and do not forbid me if you want to help yes," said Angel with a big smile. He just wants to help is not wrong, right? Why are the people at home so sad to see Him doing this and that? But he was used to it. Even more than that.

They nodded stiffly. Angel considers them friends while they seem to find it difficult to fulfill the request of Angel who wants to be considered a friend as well.

"Yes, I went to the room first. Wanna take a shower,"

"Yes, thank you again, Miss Angel,"

Angel chuckles amusedly hearing the three of them again compactly say 'thank you'. Though he only helped dry the corridor that had been cleaned, but the speech was repeated twice.

*******

Andrean pressed the door lever with his tired face. His spoiled sister was really busy inviting him to buy books, eat, and buy makeup. Who initially asked to be accompanied to the bookstore only, in fact he was invited everywhere.

Luckily he was patient. Try it Adrian. Maybe Auristella's done with her sister. Then they will argue considering both of them have noisy mouths.

"You just arrived?" Andrean asked Angel.

"Hmm not really,"

Angel rushed to prepare drinking water for her husband and gave a mug in his hand to Andrean who was taking off his shirt buttons on the sofa.

"How was it today?"

Andrean returns the mug to Angel after he gulps the contents. He sighed softly and then spread his shoulders.

"Auris really pranking me,"

"Why?"

"It's not just the bookstore. He took me there, here,"

Angel chuckles to hear her husband grumbling but her tone is still flat. Looks adorable in her eyes.

"Aren't women like that?"

"You so?"

Angel smiled shrugging her shoulders. He rarely goes anywhere other than college and restaurants on a single day.

"Don't ya, I can be overwhelmed if I have a sister and a wife like that" Andrean said in his baritone voice. Then he went to take a shower.

"What do you want to make?"

"Whatever's at the dinner table,"

"I don't cook for dinner,"

"It should be so. You're from traveling better rest,"

"There is also no way the dining table is empty" continued Andrean. His wife did not cook must have been replaced with another.

After saying that, the man who became Lovi and Devan's eldest son stepped into the bathroom. While his wife rushed to walk in closet preparing clothes for her husband.

******

Adrian smiled mischievously at Adrina who had just reached out her phone to him. Adrina told him to read a message from her Mommy.

"Don't Mommy say that? You don't believe it anyway,"

"Hmm I guess you're the one who's gonna invite me to dinner,"

"No," said Adrina cynically. Adrian is not an important person that he should invite. Mommy who is less than work invites Adrian. Lovi and Devan should be fine, no problem.

In commemoration of Jino and Sheva's birthday, they both invite Lovi and her children to come to dinner at their home. They hadn't been together for a long time.

"Mommy already told Aunty Lovi also in the message," said Adrina, who is owned by Adrian.

"So?"

"So what?!" Adrina's tone that is rarely relaxed does not make Adrian surprised at all.

"So we're going to your house now?"

Adrina clucked in annoyance, "Did you see her time there?" His eyes glanced at his phone that was still in Adrian's hands.

Adrian rereads Sheva's message to his daughter to invite Adrian in person.

"Oh yes at eight o'clock in the evening, yes,"

"It doesn't mean now" Adrina said.

Adrian chuckles amusedly, "Okay, another twin of the womb,"

"Yes, I went to class first,"

Adrina returned to class leaving Adrian who shook his head slowly to see the behavior of a friend who had a name similar to her.

*****

"Angel, we're invited to dinner by the front house dwellers,"

"Adrina huh, Mom?"

Lovi chuckled nodding. Of course Adrina, the best friend of his children who live very close to their home.

"I forgot, the neighborhood here seems to only be inhabited by two houses. This house and Adrina's. The others are invisible" said Angel, chuckling. Perhaps because the largest size of the house is the family home of her husband then the house of Adrina, so others are less interesting. Besides the distance between the houses is far apart.

"You can come, right? Take Andrean. Where's the kid?"

"Yes, Mom. I'll take Andrean. Andrean's in the room,"

"Okay, so we're not having dinner at home for tonight,"

"Yes, Mom,"
