Good night everyone.
welcome to the author's story.
the author has great novel recommendations.
"Arsen likes meatballs. Want to be fried or given sauce he still likes. He is a big fan of meatballs, anyway" explained Ema while arranging food on the table.
Aliza was taught how to make a delicious meatball version of Mother-in-law.
Later that day Ema called her and asked her daughter-in-law to make her son's favorite meal.
Women with dyed hair and aprons attached to their bodies. It was clear that he was cooking for this afternoon's dinner.
Aliza walked to the dining table following the in-laws with a bowl of gravy meatballs that were very appetizing to anyone who inhaled the aroma.
"Where did Arsen say it was?"
"No idea, Bun. Only he said before the magrib had arrived," explained Aliza after finishing arranging everything on the table with the help of her Mother-in-law.
This time it was Aliza who was cooking. From the cuisine of fruiting to fried foods. Except meatballs, 'cause he's just learning.
Ema nodded in understanding. "We've been waiting for it."
"YESY!" niko's shout that just came made Aliza close her ears.
The man immediately hugged Ema from behind. "What cooking, Bun?" he asked after seeing so much food on the table. Like there would be an event but why wasn't he told?
"What the hell is going on?" niko asked and then took one fried chicken but quickly got her hand hit by Ema.
"Hus! Don't get rich habits. Take a shower and eat!" perspiration Ema.
Niko shouts innocence. "One day, Bun."
"No! There is no one-on-one. There will be one plate, the other will not be part."
"Niko wouldn't be abis Bun that much. Is Niko a food grinder?"
Ema laughed so hard. "Yes, it's hunted ah. Mame manid!"
"l. Would you come with me?" ask Niko to Aliza.
"Where?" Aliza raised her brow next to a puzzled one.
"Mandi," Niko answered lightly and laughed.
"Look! Don't bother your sister-in-law!" said Ema while giving a small pinch on the stomach of her youngest son.
If Niko can choose between a large or small pinch. Then he would choose a big pinch. Because being given a small pinch it hurts even more.
"aww. Pain, Bun. Yes, Niko wants to take a shower!" niko said as she raised her hand to surrender.
"Wait for me to take a shower, Al!" noda Niko then gave a flirtatious blink of her eyes.
"Niko!" Ema took the napkin that was attached to her shoulder and then moved her youngest son because he had been struggling.
Aliza just shook her head softly with her sweet smile. Inexhaustible sometimes with the attitude of Niko like that.

"Where is the meat good?" ask Ema after finishing her meal but still sit back in her place.
Arsen nodded. "Great son. Mother's made is always good."
The man arrived at 5 p.m. So they can still eat together.
Arsen was told by Aliza that her husband had to go home to his own parents.
"Yes dong. Whose wife used to be." said Ravli looking at his wife with a smile full of love.
"Not made by Mother. But Aliza made it" said Ema, who surprised Aliza, who almost choked.
Aliza smiled stiffly looking at Arsen who was looking at her in wonder. "Just help."
"Just like Aliza is cooking. Mother is the judge." The laughter from Ema made Aliza grimace. Shamefully felt.
"Nake it." Arsen's praise managed to make Aliza smile while making her heart warm.
"So came out. He said, "Exposed, explained Ema.
"Or if I go home and go" grumbled Arsen who could still be heard by Aliza.
He also does not know why Niko suddenly came out. Niko just told Ema to go play.
***
"The coffee, brother." Aliza placed the hot coffee on the table in front of Arsen.
Arsen who was surprised by Aliza's arrival just stroked the chest. "Just get in."
Arsen thought it was Ema who delivered the coffee. Because he asked his mother for help. Aliza was the one who delivered it.
"Lagian why you daydream on the balcony. Mending sleep, it's bad, sister," Aliza said.
"Not sleepy, Al."
"Yes, I slept first. Cepet in drinking coffee hunted cold later. Have coffee at night." Aliza who just wanted to step away but stopped.
According to Aliza, her husband is sometimes a bit strange. The nights when people sleep, in contrast to Arsen who even drink coffee.
He was not working on his office work.
Just want to have a coffee.
"Sit here! I want to talk about it." Arsen patted the empty seat beside him.
Aliza would not want to obey. I don't know what Arsen will tell him.
"Lo semalem with Niko?" tanya Arsen opened a serious conversation.
Aliza hesitated. He was afraid that Arsen would be angry with him.
"Not be afraid of that. I'm not angry. I also do not matter if you want to play or go with Niko again, if I am busy or you want to play the same as him so as not to be lonely. Just talk to me first," said Arsen staring at Aliza seriously.
Aliza nodded in understanding.
Is she confused about her husband being Arsen or Niko?
Even he was not jealous at all when he walked with other men even though it was his own sister.
"Gue knew I was busy and had no time at home. I hope you can understand this. You'll have plenty of time alone at home."
"Gue know you work. But after you go home you must be alone. If bosen you can come here."
"Yes I know. I don't care if I'm home alone. At least if you do not want to come out because tired or saturated," said Aliza made Arsen smile.
"Gue hope you can be happy even though I have the same marriage that gives a lot of pain to you," said Arsen manatap his wife in.
Aliza smiled. "Gue ain't papa, brother."
"Sorry I—" Arsen looked down not daring to look at Aliza.
"I'm sorry I haven't been a good husband to you" he continued.
"Gue ain't papa, brother. You don't have to apologize. I'm fine." Aliza cupped her husband's cheek to look at her.
"Gue will try to be a good wife for you. I'll do that."
Aliza smiled sincerely.
If fate isn't on his side. It'sit's okay. His efforts to become a better wife for Arsen failed because his household was destroyed it is not something Aliza can regret.
Even he was grateful to have been given the opportunity to become a person who can enter into the life of Arsen. Because Aliza used to only know without being able to talk and know more.
Arsen stared at the woman in front of him. "Hopefully after this there are men who can make you happy. Not my rich."
Aliza nodded holding back her tears that were about to fall down her cheeks.
But failed. The clear thread went down without permission.
Arsen immediately pulled Aliza into his arms. Gently rubbed his wife's head and back.
Aliza's heart ached when she heard Arsen's last words. How not to be sick if a husband says that someday there will be a man who will make him happy but not his own husband?
Aliza's heart was like it was pierced by thousands of needles. So hurt. Her chest started to cramp.
