Ayunda, Secret Wife of the President

Chapter 28 - Cooking Together

"Darling, do we eat yuk?" Take Melisa to Ayunda.

"He's a cooking pinter, Ma. The food is delicious." Narendra chirps with a small smile, making Ayunda reflex to plunge the man's arm in shame to hear the man's praise on her, let alone him say her in front of his two parents. 

"really? Well, let's help Mami cook then. Can you?"

"Of course, it's Mi." Ayunda replied softly, she smiled shyly at the woman. Melisa also pulls the girl into the kitchen. 

The two cook together, Melisa had cooked for dinner, but when her son returned said that Ayunda is good at cooking, but, he chose to cook again so that his relationship with this girl was not too awkward anymore, considering this was their first meeting.

"You used to cook for Naren?"

"Yes, Mi. You see he asked for breakfast, kept on bekelin too." Obviously Ayunda slowly, she was washing the vegetables in the sink with running water. 

"really? Though at home, Naren is most anti if Mami wants to give him provisions." 

"Really, Mi?" Ayunda asked, Melisa nodded her head then smiled.

"Yes, Mommy is serious. He's the one who always refuses, he says he's grown so don't give thanks." 

"But Ayu, she asked for it herself, Mi." Ayunda said, making Melisa chuckle.

"It's okay, it means he really likes your cooking. Where do you live now?" Ask Melisa. 

"In Naren's apartment, Mi. At first Ayu ngekost same friend, but after the incident, Naren maksa Ayu to live in her apartment. He said it wasn't safe at the boarding house because the boarding was mixed." 

"Yes, you wouldn't be safe living in a boarding house like that." Melisa said, she agreed with what her son did to look after his future wife. Thankfully if Ayunda lives in Naren's apartment, at least the girl's safety and comfort are guaranteed.

"Mi, what is this cooking like?"

"As far as you are." Melisa replied, she wants to see and also feel for herself the cuisine of her future daughter-in-law, is it really as good as said by her son? 

Finally, Ayunda also cooked seafood capcai, with shrimp and squid. The girl cooked skillfully, making Melisa smile. Right, as his son said that Ayunda can cook. 

"Cobain first, Mi. If anything is lacking, tell Ayu." 

He scoops the capcai sauce and tries it, Ayunda smiled a little. She was nervous herself as the woman tried her cooking. 

"Thank you, Mi." 

"Together, darling. You call Papi Naren first, tell him to come eat ya."

"Yeah, Mi." Answer Ayunda. Honestly, he felt nervous when he saw the flat face of Arvin, his future father-in-law. But, he felt bad if he had to refuse the request of his future mother-in-law as well.

"Pi, Mami said to the dining room now. Dinner is ready." 

"Hmm, yeah, go first." Arvin replied, he still wants to talk to his son.

"Good." Ayunda went back to the kitchen. In the living room, there was a debate between the father and the child. 

"So, what's your plan going forward?" Arvin asked while looking intently at his son.

"Not that Papi knows, I'll marry Ayunda." Reply Naren.

"After you married her?"

"I'll treat her like a wife and husband, that's all."

"What about Trisa?" Arvin's question made Naren round his eyes.

"Why ask the unimportant? Isn't it Papi doesn't like Trisa?"

"Of course, Papi doesn't like the girl very much, Naren. But, now Papi just wants to make sure of something. What if that woman comes back to you, after you've married Ayunda?" Ask Arvin seriously. 

"So let it go, what should I do? It doesn't matter to me anymore." 

"You sure? But I'm not sure, you wouldn't care if the woman came back. You haven't moved on from that woman, have you? What if your heart clings to that woman again, Naren?" Ask Arvin.
