Episode 7's

"Oh .. please enter Ma'am, I call the Leon mas first," I tried to be friendly.

I walked towards the kitchen, knocked on the glass door of the kitchen, saw Leon realize it, and walked closer to me.

"There's a guest, Mas" I said as Leon was in front of me.

"Oh .. okay." He walked in and changed his clothes that were filled with sweat sweat.

While I prepared some tea and some snacks to visit him.

I saw Leon and he was very familiar, even he tasted Leon.

Like there was a turbulent taste in my chest.

I lay down on the sofa in front of the television. Occasionally look at those in the living room. Since the tivi room and living room were only separated by the ornamental cabinets alone, I could hear and catch a glimpse of them.

There was a sound of Leon and the girl chatting lightly, occasionally they laughed. Switch chanel tivi to another chanel.

"Huuhhh, why is the event in the morning so boring."

I turned off the television and stepped into the kitchen, opened the fridge and looked for what I could make for lunch.

Last I chose the dry ingredients to make the cake. At least this is what I have learned, the skills gained from working in a cake shop for years.

Ting ...

Microwave sounds awakened my daydream. I opened the microwave door and saw my cake make a slash alias not inflate, Even this cake even more upset me.

"Dead?" I shook my head.

"For years I worked in a pastry shop, but I made cakes?" I placed the cake pan with a little slamming on the pantry.

"What's up, Shena? Why did you slam your cake?"

Leon's voice nodded at me.

"No, the cake pan's hot." I passed, passing by Leon's mas to the room.

There was a sense of resentment in the heart when he saw the face of Leon. Not upset why? I don't know either.

Not long after, Mas Leon entered the room with a laptop in his hand. He changed his clothes and tidied up some files.

"What do you want for lunch, Mom?"

"I don't eat at home like that."

"So?" my many.

"I want to go out with Riany for a while, you just eat first. Don't wait for me, yeah."

He hurried to tidy up his documents, grabbed my head, landed a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll go for a minute, you call me if there's anything."

As Leon passed by, I heard the sound of his car leaving and disappearing from hearing.

Like there's an upset feeling I can't explain, how could Leon behave like this to me?

Who Riany is, I hate it so much, even if I just remember it.

All day long I just daydream from one place to another. I don't know why time passes so slowly.

I'm so tired of this, what if I leave Leon to work tomorrow? Will I stay home all day? Ah I don't want to.

I looked at the sky this afternoon, leaving only a little orange at the end. Very beautiful color but only temporary. Dusk is always amazing to look at, but unfortunately, he is present only as a link between day and night.

Dusk has greeted me, but Leon has not yet come to me.

I heard the voice of the Creator's calling greet me. Calling to enjoy mingling together with Him in the twilight.

After marriage, I never worshiped alone. I always followed the silent chants of Leon's voice voicing verse by verse, but now there is only me and Him. He is the All-Mighty.

I felt the cold enveloped my heart, calm, comfortable and very peaceful. The often present feeling accompanied me every time I finished bowing my head on the prayer mat.

The sound of a car parked in the yard, I opened my door and immediately got out. Somehow there was a feeling of relief after seeing the face of Leon standing before me.

"Have you eaten?"

I shook my head. Every day, no matter what I do, I don't remember eating or cooking for myself. Even the cake is still on the pantry.

"I'm a little tired, I'll just order some food."

I thought Leon would take her out to eat, instead of him leaving me all day. Or not, bring home something cake to pay my frustration to her. Ah .. yasudah he doesn't know what it's like so I am today.

"I don't want to, you eat alone." I left Leon's mas and entered the room, claustrophobic, that's how I felt. Leon doesn't seem to care about me.

Where is the figure of understanding, lost where the figure who is able to read the contents of my heart. Or is that his original attitude?

Grievously with me?

I fell asleep without eating anything, and Leon did not try to persuade me.

The sound of the alarm woke me up, I grabbed the phone and saw the clock on the screen. It's still 4 in the morning. I deliberately set the alarm so I can bang early in the morning, today.

This is the first day Leon entered work after marriage, I do not want to be continuously served by him. At least I can prepare breakfast before he goes to work.

I rushed to the kitchen and saw the groceries in the refrigerator. I didn't think the cake I made yesterday was just a few small pieces.

Was Leon hungry last night?  Until I have to eat this cake? Ah but she can order, don't have to eat this cake either, right?

Looking at the rest of the cake I remembered my attitude towards him last night. There is guilt in the heart, how also his attitude is always gentle to me. I am like a child, I like to be vague.

"Your buds are busy in the kitchen early in the morning, Shen?" tanyanya, surprise.

"Switchiness?" meredek.

Though I was about to smile, but suddenly pouted again hearing the plunge.

Before I had a sense of guilt towards him, but once I heard his words it irritated me this early in the morning.

I saw Leon still wearing his night sweatshirt and fiddling with his laptop on the dining table.

"You want me to make you a drink, Mom?"

"Can."

"What do you want to drink? Tea, or coffee?" bargain him.

"Take me some water."

I nodded and prepared a glass of water. Walk near where Leon sat.

"Here, Mas." Leon just smiled, Like there was something he saw seriously in that flat screen.

"Mas, is that cake you ate?"

"Yes" he answered briefly

"Kok, you eat anyway, Mas?"

"That's food, so if it's not eaten, what's on display?" the question is still focused on the laptop screen.

"But it's cake, Mas."

"Why do you need to take a hit?"

"What if you get sick?"

"Do you make cakes, or poison?" tanyanya seriously.

"Yes cake is mas, you, ihh," I replied annoyed.

He breathed and looked at me with a small smile.

"That's my wife's first meal, I'll eat it no matter what."

I smiled at Leon's words. I don't know where all my annoyance went when I heard that last sentence.

I cleared my throat slowly, trying to hide the smile that wanted to widen. Prestigious dong, I'm still upset with him.

After some time, served fried rice and eggs ceplok above it.

Oh my God .. I spent how long just to make this, but cooking is not easy. I used to be busy working because my job was not at the office, so I left early in the morning and went home late at night. Besides making cakes I can't cook anything.

"Mas, I'm ready. We'll have breakfast."

He just nodded, I thrust out a plate of fried rice in front of him. He smiled but tried to hide it.

I know, he must have thought I was wasting my time on a plate of fried rice. Unlike him who can prepare some western dishes with a shorter time than me.

I saw him gobbling up the fried rice quickly, my lips slightly smiled seeing him excited at breakfast.

I also ate the dishes in front of me.

O. .. o why does it feel so bland?

I saw Leon's expression while eating, but he was as usual. Are the flavors on my plate and on the plate different? Ah where possible, I cooked it so one just now.

I've tasted it too, it seems like it wasn't like this, how the hell did it feel? I see the plate mas Leon is almost finished, cook the difference in taste?

"Mas" call me soft.

"Hem" he answered with a mouth full.

"Fried rice .. is it good?" I bite my lower lip.

"Honey boy, I like it. Why?"

"But, it's a little bland."

"Then anyway? It's delicious."

I was confused by Leon's answer. Rice in the plate. No way this is good, Leon's gotta be lying.

"Mas, you're lying, right? It's bland, how could it taste good?" askaku.

"I lied too, if it's not good I threw up from earlier" he replied innocently.

Yes, I am also confused myself. I spoon-fed the rice again and put it in my mouth, to make sure again. Sure enough, this is bland.

"How can you not eat?  Don't like it?" he asked when he saw me just playing a spoon.

I shook my head and pursed my lips forward.

"Just here for me."

Leon pulled my plate and ate it back. The timing is good? It's bland, is my tongue in trouble, huh?

I noticed Leon's mas, he still ate it in his usual style, his face didn't show any reaction. Maybe my tongue is in trouble.

"Mas."

"Hm."

"When you work, I'm alone dong at home."

"Why are you scared?"

"Not."

"So?"

"Hem, Mum. Can't I work again?"

Mas Leon took a glass of water and downed the contents until it ran out.

"Can't." Leon replied firmly.

"if you get bored at home, you just list college again" he continued.

I bowed, hearing Leon's reply. I just want to help my family financially, want to pay for my twin sister's college, at least one of them.

Mas Leon noticed the look on my face that started to frown.

"Why do you want to work?"

"So what am I doing here myself, Mas?"

"You can continue your studies."

I pursed my lips to hear his answer. If I go to college I'll just spend your money, Mom. Anyhow there's more interest in me studying after marriage. My ideas of being a lawyer I buried deep.

"Why don't you want to go to college?"

"No."

"Well, if you're bored, you play at your father's house, or hang out with your friends."

I don't want to play, I think as long as I'm not pregnant I can still take care of my husband and work. Fortunately, I can still help you without having to burden you again.

There was a long breath of Leon's lips.

"So you want to work, right?"

I just nodded with certainty.

"Why do you want to work? Give me the reason, I'll consider."

"I still want to help you, Mom. I want to help lighten your burden. The twins are going to university soon. You must be confused right now."

Mas Leon smiled, he stroked the tip of my head and then went into the room.

"Take this." Leon threw an ATM in front of me.

"This, what's it doing, Mom?" many confused.

"There is money, not too much. Take it to help your family's needs."

I fell silent while looking at the little card. How could he just trust me. What if I spend all my money on my family?

"Your family, right now my family too, Shena. I'll take over your obligations, I'll send money to your family every month" he continued.

As if he was answering a question from my mind, eh wait what did he say?

Want to send it to my family again every month? What's that thing in here doing?

"Mas, if you've given me this ATM, why send it again every month?" many confused.

"This is for your needs, Shena. If the money I sent is still not enough, you can take it from here."

I just nodded, not understanding Leon's way of thinking. Why is he so good to me?

"Later on, I'll get the cuffs ready, yeah."

"Eh ... Mas," call me when Leon wants to leave.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Thank you, yeah." I smiled at him.

She returned my smile and grabbed the tip of my head, stroking it gently.

"No need to thank me. It's my responsibility."

Leon's attitude always amazes me. His attitude was gentle yet firm, he was responsible and mature as well. He is good and hopefully his attitude will be good until the end.

Mas Leon went back to the room, before long he came out in neat clothes. He kissed me on the forehead before leaving.

Although not too comfortable with his attitude, I do not feel good if I have to reject him again. It's too good to keep being rejected like this.

I hurried to tidy up the commotion I made in the kitchen this morning. I only cooked two dishes of fried rice, but why is it this messy?

Basic, besides going out to work I'm not doing anything at home. Maybe my mother is spoiling me too much, so I can't do anything right now.

After tidying up the house, I prepared to go to my father's house. I miss my mom and the twins so much, I've been leaving them for a week.

How are they doing, huh? I miss them so much. I miss my house and my room too.
