Alby is about to enter the gate along with Manh Sapto's car coming out. Today Alby came home a little too because of his work so much. He hurriedly wanted to get home soon to tell his Mak if Amara would visit. But it looks like he lost the start, Mak and Nabil are already in Sapto's car.
"Where are you going?", asked Alby to the boy and his mother.
"Kan Mak teh tos wa maneh Jang. Mak same Nabil wants to go to his restaurant Bia. Mak kangen same Bia cuisine", replied Mak.
"Nabil also wants to play with Dede twins!", Nabil does not want to lose.
"Oh yeah? When's Mak?", Alby reached into his pocket. Reading a chat from his Mak that has been sent since half five p.m.
"Should it be now, Mommy?", asked Alby quietly.
"Mom has long wanted to go there. But you're busy, so keep talking to Sapto."
Alby massaged his temple a little. He's confused! On the one hand he had promised if his lover would come to visit, but instead Mak and Nabil left.
"Yes Jang, go first. Assalamualaikum!", said Mak and Nabil.
"Getishalam."
Alby's picking up her hair. He regretted not reading Mak's message this afternoon because he was too busy with work.
How does Amara feel???
But it would be nice indeed Alby frankly to his lover. He also sent a chat to Amara. Will he stay or leave next time.

Amaras
I intentionally went home early. Intentionally, I want to cook simple dishes that will certainly be liked by my prospective in-laws and prospective children.
Not much, but enough for dinner. At about half-seven, I had finished the magrib prayer and had prepared my cooking with a container to facilitate carrying.
After getting ready, there was a message from Alby. My smile faded as I read Alby's line of words.
Apparently, the prospective in-laws and children continued to go to Bia's restaurant. His reason? Mother-in-law misses Bia's cooking, while Nabil wants to play with the twins.
I looked at my cooking! It's futile!!!
But I don't blame Alby. He also said his Mak had asked him for permission, only that Alby was too busy to ignore the chat on his phone.
I'm confused! Did I meet them at Bia's diner? After I thought about it, I finally decided to go there and call Alby.
Alby asked me to wait for him for a while, we're leaving together.
After thirty minutes had passed, Alby had already reached my apartment.
"Assynnya!"
"Walaikumsalam!", I said with a smile.
"Neng cook?", asked Alby to me. I'm nodding.
"Heum, the intention is I want to bring the food to Mak with Nabil. But. It looks like they're more interested in Bia's cooking."
Alby grabbed my shoulder.
"Don't think like that, they don't prefer Bia's cooking. It's just, they don't know if you want to go there and bring them your cooking. Aa was wrong, didn't tell them from the beginning. That's it, Aa don't read the chat from Mak anymore."
I tried to smile.
"Yes, cook for them next time!"
I got up and took my cooking down from the container. Let it be, I can give it to the security below.
Alby followed me, then stood beside me.
"Do you want what food is?", he asked. I looked at him.
"From not being packed, I just give it to security under A. Dear mubadzir."
Alby just left the dining table. Maybe I'll take something. True to my guess, he came with a mineral bottle and a plate and a spoon.
"What do you want?" asked Alby as he sat on the bench.
"You eat! Mana herein, Aa's hungry! It's good security sir who cooks my future wife's cooking. Isiin!", said Alby.
My lips lifted and I smiled thinly. I don't know, maybe Alby was just entertaining me or he was really hungry.
I also filled the plate with rice and side dishes that I cooked. He seemed to enjoy my cooking. Seeing her eat so voraciously, made me feel happy. I looked at her handsome face which did not bore me at all.
Until I realized that a spoonful of rice was in front of my mouth.
"Aaaakkkk..open her mouth, eat together!", pinta Alby. I also took a bribe from him.
Ah, I just feel so romantic anyway???
Alby wiped the leftovers on my lips with a tissue. Shortly after, he finished his dinner.
"Alhamdulillah, Thank you dear. Your cooking is delicious!", praise Alby to me. I was quite happy to hear his compliment. Although I know very well if my cooking tastes standard. Unlike Bia who is used to cooking.
"The rest should not be thrown away. Just keep it, yeah, tomorrow in the microwave. You drive to the office, don't mind, do you?", Alby touches my jaw gently.
"Huum, tomorrow I'll drop you off with another menu." Alby nodded as well. Then he got up and wanted to wash his old dishes, but I prevented him.
"I'm the grandson of A!" I said, seizing the dirty plate. Alby complied. After a few minutes, we went to Bia's restaurant.
I have to be mentally prepared, my future-in-law is indeed very close to Bia. So, it would be nice for me to fortify myself from envy for Bia.
Patience Amara.....
