Forced Mate

son in-law

Here we go again😘

Last night Ayu asked Alex to sleep in the next room, not much different from the night before when they stayed at Ayu's house. Alex does not heed Ayu's request at all, he knows that Ayu is crying and needs a backrest. As Ayu's husband, she chose to be next to the woman. It might not help, but it can give a little warmth.

This morning Alex woke up as usual, probably out of habit so that without any alarm he could wake up on time. Therein lies Alex's confusion, between getting out of bed while she doesn't know what to do - - because she's in a place that's unfamiliar to her. Stay in bed with Ayu, sounds more fun, but too long lying down will usually make his head dizzy.

Alex turned towards Ayu who was still sleeping. The woman looked slumbering, probably from crying all night. Alex landed one hand on the top of Ayu's head gently, then stroked Ayu's hair.

"Sleep well."

This time Alex kissed Ayu briefly on the forehead before waking up. He stretched, then left the room after washing his face.

The house was still empty, Alex went down the stairs and started to hear a commotion from the kitchen. The splashing sound of water and cooking utensils clashing with each other. The fragrant aroma of cooking on the stove began to poison Indra Alex.

In the kitchen was Arini who was fighting with a spatula in her hand. Alex approached her mother-in-law.

"Morning, Mom!" greet Alex in spirit when he arrives next to Arini.

Arini who was serious about her fried rice, almost surged in shock. He turned to the side with his hands still swaying stirring the rice.

"Oh, morning Alex." Arini smiled. "Hurry up and wake up?"

Alex just smiled not retorting.

"Well must be sleeping. The boy didn't change, couldn't get up early." Arini grumbling.

"He's tired, he's gonna have to work again for a while."

Alex defends Ayu.

Arini laughed a little. "Good thing her husband understood, yes."

"You don't understand, Ayu will run away."

"Udah, Ayu is like a cat, which is important smart spoiled will not be left."

Alex nodded in a sign of understanding. It's also good that he decided to leave Ayu in bed, he could learn how to deal with Ayu from the experts.

"But that, ma'am, I love to snack when I'm not a goat." Alex tried to be funny.

Arini's hand stopped. "That's badgering with goats."

"And again laugh, Mom," said Alex in a disappointed tone made up.

Arini laughed a little.

"Well, it's good to laugh early in the morning."

Arini turned off the stove.

"Please that clear container!" Arini pointed at the large clear bowl that was behind Alex.

With a swift Alex grabbed the bowl and thrust it at Arini.

"What kind of cat?" ask Arini suddenly.

"Take a bite to eat" replied Alex.

"Kalo Ayu sulk, dikasi eat will also be better." Arini reveals her daughter's secret.

"Remoted, Mom. Later I prepare a full refrigerator food for anticipation if Ayu again badmood," said Alex.

Alex's gaze turned on the egg and celery in front of him.

"Would the eggs be flanked, ma'am?"

"You're banished."

Alex's eyes are round. "Kok dumped, Mom?"

Arini slapped Alex on the shoulder softly while laughing. "Mom's a joke, Lex."

Alex was silent for a moment, then let out a loud laugh.

"Laughter is late." Arini Protest.

"Cute mom turned out, too," praised Alex.

Arini took the cutting board and celery, then cut the little celery.

"You want to make omelets?" ask Alex again.

"He-em, omelet."

"Let me just." Alex is trying to take over Arini's job.

Arini rejects Alex's good intentions. "No, it'll be weird."

"Quiet, Mom, if the omelet problem is easy. Here, let me do it." Alex forced.

Arini took the knife out of her grip. "Yes, your kitchen should not be destroyed."

Alex put the corner of his fingers on his forehead. "get ready!"

Alex begins to struggle with eggs and celery. She is not good at cooking, but her years of experience with cooking make her feel like she can match her cooking skills with a professional chef. If you only make omelets, and other eggs he is the expert.

Arini has three children and two daughters-in-law, now seems to have three daughters-in-law. His family includes a harmonious family that is always compact, but they are far from humorous. Her husband's friendly, loving and caring attitude towards his family also decreased in his three children, so Arini never felt neglected by her children even though they had lived apart.

Alex's friendly and caring sense has a different atmosphere than what Arini has felt from other children and daughters-in-law. Arini does not remember ever joking like before with other members of her family. As a mother, she was affectionate, but a little rigid on the rules, so it seemed serious.

Arini steals a glance at Alex to make sure Alex doesn't blow up his kitchen. Meanwhile, he himself picked up when and started cleaning. Arini is a little crazy on cleanliness, she hates mess, so often nagging when someone scatters things in her house.

"Well, the omelet is a rolled egg!" Arini begins to panic at the appearance of Alex's artificial egg, though not bad at all, but far from what she wants.

"It's fried rice, right. Good to use egg rolls. Anyway, I'll just calm down."

Arini relented and chose to wash the cooking utensils that were no longer used. Every now and then she glanced at the determined Alex, Arini gave a small nod looking at Alex's cooking ability which could be said to be great. Although only eggs, but for men according to Arini it is extraordinary. She had two sons, and she was sure the two could not cook water at all.

After he finished frying the eggs, Alex picked up a cutting board and a knife. He chopped the egg and put it on the plate again. After that he grabbed some tomatoes that had been washed by Arini, then cut the fruit thinly. While Arini prepares a drink and serves fried rice.

"I'll take it straight away, Mom." Alex asked for permission.

Ariini only nodded at a glance because she was pouring instant juice from her box.

Alex's gaze was fixed on each plate of fried rice that had been served with a rolled egg topping that he sliced thinly and a garnish in the form of tomato slices and celery shoots.

"Where's Mom, I'm the dream daughter-in-law, right?" Alex praises himself with complete confidence.

Arini raised her one thumb for Alex. "This is how you can not give your blessing. Anyway Pandu is not a problem if there is a mother."

Alex chuckles, laughing at his conspiracy with his mother-in-law.

"Yes, wake up your wife first! He had a hard time getting up in the morning" Arini told Alex, and was immediately executed by the man.

Whistling softly, Alex turned to leave the dining table. When he was about to enter the middle room he was shocked by Ayu who stood looking with an indecipherable look.

"Wake up?" ask Alex with a smile.

Ayu just nodded slowly and looked at Alex inside.

"Breakfast is ready, breakfast first."

Ayu shakes. "I'm gonna take a shower, I'm gonna go straight to the office."

Alex just nodded in understanding, then followed Ayu's steps back into the room. While Ayu gets into the bathroom, Alex decides to do push-ups and sit-ups. His body is usually sore if it passes one way not to sweat.

"What are you doing?" ask Ayu who has come out of the bathroom.

"Sports, Yang!" alex replied after taking a sitting position on the floor.

"Olahraganya outside Alex, sweat you netes on the floor." Ayu nagged at the sight of Alex's sweat droplets on the floor. "Scook!"

Alex got up and stood near Ayu and tried to calm her down. "I'm clean, don't be angry."

Ayu rolled her eyes while sneering at Alex. "already, get out there! I'm gonna change clothes."

"I can help you get changed" Alex said, winking one eye at Ayu.

Ayu shuddered in horror. "Get out!"

Alex chuckles and lands a brief kiss on Ayu's temple. Sontak Ayu asked Alex to back off.

"Sorok! Smell tau!" anger Ayu.

The woman did not like Alex to kiss her, let alone the man was full of sweat, but when he said Alex stinks, in lying. For whatever reason, for Ayu, Alex's scent tasted better when sweating than after bathing and wearing perfume.

Ayu looked at Alex's back with questions. From yesterday he felt close to Alex that although it was annoying, he actually felt calm. It was as if Ayu had extra exertion that gave her a little courage. Each time remembering that there is Alex beside her, Ayu is not afraid of any direction that will cross, as she knows that Alex will be there protecting her.

Although new to Alex, Ayu could see that the man always meant what he said. Alex said he would take responsibility, and he proved it to this day. Ayu also sees how Alex interacts with her mother. The mother Ayu knew was not easy to take heart, rigid but sensitive in judging everyone, so easy to melt on Alex.

Alex is a good guy, despite his Don Juan impact.

***

Alex waved briefly at Arini who escorted him and Ayu out to the front gate. He could see a big smile on his mother-in-law's face.

Still Alex remembers how Arini was very helpful in his efforts to get closer to Dwiki. Arini did not stop praising Alex for helping her cook, but praised Alex for being humorous and obedient. Because of Arini, Alex could talk a lot with Bima who received him with open arms.

Alex still remembered that Bima patted her shoulder hard while giving thanks because Ayu was married. Bima said that the level of fussiness Ayu beat his son, Zahra, so Bima was very happy because Ayu was married and would not trouble his family anymore.

Alex knew very well that Bima was not serious at all when he said that. He could see how Ayu was so important to his sister-in-law.

Alex glanced at Ayu who was sitting next to him. He looked at Ayu with a smile. According to him Ayu has always been surrounded by people who really care and love him, the woman's life must be very happy because she has a very big love from her family. Then, he refocused on the steering wheel of the car and the road in front of him.

"Why not take a shower?" ask Ayu.

"Later at home, there's no change of clothes." Alex answered casually and continued. "I stink, don't I?"

Ayu just shook her head.

The mood in the car was silent. Ayu is glued to the phone screen, while Alex focuses all his attention on the road that began to be crowded vehicles.

"Main hp in the car can make you dizzy," said Alex while pulling a slow hp that is in Ayu's grasp.

Ayu pulled back her HP. "Oh, I read the turnover report again."

Alex stopped his car right in front of the red light.

"It can be checked in the office."

Ayu relented and chose to put her HP in the bag.

"Mom's fried rice is delicious." Alex commends Arini for silencing the car.

"Mother is good at cooking, cooking anything must be good."

"But, this is the first time I've had breakfast with fried rice. Too heavy."

Ayu frowned. "That's the daily breakfast at my house since childhood."

"Morning, rice. Afternoon, rice. Night, rice. Not afraid of diabetes."

Ayu shakes. "There is no diabetes."

Alex shook his head. He began to talk to Ayu about healthy living. According to Alex, breakfast should be light and fruit is also very important in the morning.

"... rather than drinking cot juice, it is better to make juice from the original fruit of organic DNA."

"I'm not crazy healthy like you, which there is stress later. Want to eat a meal, why should a lot of mind. The disease is not just from eating, but also from thinking." Ayu.

"What do you think it is? No wonder you work in a junk food company."

"Super stupid! I think yes, all good food that matters is not excessive." Ayu did not give up on proving his theory.

Alex was about to open his face, but was immediately silenced by Ayu.

"Nih yes I say for example, green vegetables have many benefits, but if excessive consumption is also not good. I eat rice, junk food, but it's still fine." Ayu explained with excitement

Alex smiled and pinched Ayu's cheek so much that the woman protested while hitting Alex's arm.

"The body is like dirt, watered whatever it will absorb. But, try the shadow ...." Alex tries to give an explanation of the rebuttal, but it is cut by Ayu.

"Time is a shadow of the unimportant."

"Loh, it's important to know, honey. It's for your health" Alex says.

Ayu shook her head while covering both ears with her hands.

"Not listening, not listening!"

"I'm happy, but you need to know health is wealth!" Alex admits to giving up, but not giving up completely.

Ayu smiled complacently, feeling the win arguing from Alex. Although he could not tell that all of Alex's words were true, but Ayu was a foodie who since childhood was always mocked greedily, so eating was his hobby.

Ayu seemed to think for a moment. I don't know why Alex reminds him of someone. Alex loves classical music, as well as his instruments; sports crazy and healthy food.

"You've been Tamara's friend since she was a child?" ask Ayu.

Hearing Tamara's name being mentioned by Ayu, Alex almost hit the brakes hard all of a sudden. Fortunately, he could still control himself, so his surprise was not clearly read by Ayu. He thought about the news of his friend, until now he had not given it, even Tidka replied to the message sent by the woman.

"Yes, we used to be in the same day care," Alex said forcing a smile.

"Yes, Tamara once said you were very close," Ayu said then continued, "no wonder you can also be close, your hobbies are similar."

Alex did not answer.

"But, I've heard that when you like someone you also like what that person likes" Ayu said with a gaze pointed outside the car.

Alex choked. He married spit very heavily, then forced his laughter out so it sounded very strange.

"You mean I like Tamara? Never!" alex said with a strange laugh.

Ayu frowned. "I didn't say it was like that, Lex. Unless you like Tamara?"

"Oh, I'm the same Tamara as sisters, nothing more." Reply Alex a little stiff.

Ayu's frown deepened, the twoblaisbtebnya was almost interlocked. " Whatever, I don't care either."

Suddenly, Ayu's HP rang. Ayu reached into the vibrating object that DNA was staring at her screen. Ayu looked at Alex who was also stealing glances at her.

"Who called?"

I opened my mouth doubtfully. Ayu just remembered that she had told the caller about her marriage to Alex.

"Tamara," Ayu replied with enlarged eyes.

Alex and Ayu look at each other deeply, even though their minds are twisting two different memories.
