Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 30 ~ Nobar Soccer

...🌹🌹🌹...

"Friends? As late as tonight Bi?"

Aliyya who did not know Zein's bad habits even seemed confused. Then he tried to find out everything from Bi Sumi.

"Zein does bring his friend to this house at night, son. They love to gather here, especially in this room." replied Bi Sumi who knew everything.

"Male or female friends?" asked Aliyya again who was curious about Zein's friends.

"There is a man and there is a woman. Sometimes it's both, son, but the one coming tonight Aunty doesn't know if it's just a boy or a girl's friend" Bi Sumi replied.

"Then let me help Auntie cook and make something for them." said Aliyya.

"That's not necessary, son. You just rest here. It's late at night and you have to sleep." replied Bi Sumi who tried to ban.

"It's okay, Bi. Zein's friends are coming and I need to see them. I also want to make something for them with spices that my mother sent." said Aliyya who still wanted to cook.

"But Aliyya..."

"It's okay, Bi. Come on!!!" cut Aliyya while pulling Bi Sumi's hand.

Bi Sumi who was pulled by his hand could only follow Aliyya's request. The beak woman looked resigned when walking to the kitchen and Aliyya continued to pull her hand while the other hand carried two small containers.

"Take this too salty! You're fired!!!"

When Aliyya and Bi Sumi arrived at the kitchen door, suddenly from the inside came the voice of Sonia who was doing cooking activities with one of the servants and seemed to be scolding the waiter.

"But Madam..."

"I don't like to waste a lot of time and throw away food! Let's quickly dispose of your cooking and get out of this house!" sonia said without pardoning the waiter.

The poor waiter was just downcast sad while reaching for his cooking pan and then doing Sonia's orders to throw the salty dishes away. While Aliyya and Bi Sumi who were still at the kitchen door just threw a look of pity at the servant. With the obvious anxiety streak on the face, Bi Sumi kept trying to ask Aliyya not to go inside there because there was Sonia. But the fearless Aliyya only nodded slightly as if asking the middle-aged ART to remain calm and stop worrying about her.

"Wait!!!"

Aliyya's voice suddenly made Sonia and the servant turned to her. Meanwhile, without fear and trepidation for the mother-in-law, Aliyya stepped forward and entered the kitchen. Then Bi Sumi followed Aliyya from behind.

Seeing the girl he never liked to stay in this house, it really made Sonia's face turn sour instantly. There was not even a big, thin smile on his face that looked still young. While Aliyya, casually and courageously he walked and approached the mother-in-law who was looking at him with hatred and resentment.

"I'm sorry I bothered Mama here. But if the dish is too much salt, it is better to give flour. That way the salt in the dish will be absorbed by the flour." said Aliyya who smiled.

"really?" ask the waiter who is excited.

"Yes, I try it a lot in India. I will teach you how." replied Aliyya.

Regardless of the sharp gaze that Sonia gave, Aliyya sauntered away to the grocery store cabinet and took out a medium-sized container of flour that had been processed into raw dough. So the taste of the flour was certainly still very amber because it did not have any delicious taste. After taking the container, Aliyya went back to the cooking table and took a little and rounded the flour. Then Aliyya put the round flour into a pan of salted servant cooking.

Sonia was still with her sharp gaze, continuing and continuing to pay attention to Aliyya without making the slightest sound. While Bi Sumi who was afraid and anxious about Aliyya's behavior only seemed to be muttering so that there was no quarrel between the two after this.

After putting a circle of flour into a cooking pan, Aliyya grabbed a spoon and tasted the dish carefully.

"Perfect!" said Aliyya who smiled with relief.

Sonia who had been staring at him sharply also took a spoon and also tasted the salty cuisine of the waiter. Instantly Sonia's expression changed when tasting food that had tasted salty now turned into food that tastes very fitting in the sense of taste. The waiter's cooking was finally not salty anymore thanks to Aliyya.

"Salt is not important in cooking! But presentation in cooking is what matters. By giving flour into the dish, the color of the dish also turns faded and pale! This is not good! So throw it away!!!" said Sonia with great emphasis staring intently at her daughter-in-law.

Aliyya could only smile clumsily at the dishes that would eventually end up in the trash. It's been hard for the girl to try to find a way out but the nature of Sonia who hates Aliyya too much makes the mother of two children always look for the girl's mistakes. While Bi Sumi who had witnessed and stood beside Aliyya could only sigh slowly when she heard the superior's decree.

"What are you doing here?" asked Sonia tightly without looking at Aliyya.

"I want to make something, Ma. My mother sent me a package and in the package there is a special spice Jogja cuisine. So I'd love to make something here." replied Aliyya who was still smiling sweetly.

"Bi Sumi... You know that at this hour I am practicing cooking for cookbooks? Didn't you tell him? No one should use the kitchen while I am doing practice!!! And no one should wear condiments because I always wear my own seasoning!!!" said Sonia firmly who turned her head towards Bi Sumi.

"Let's try it once, Ma. If you want, we can do the cooking practice together. I want to make something that is in your cookbook" said Aliyya who increasingly challenged Sonia with a smile and courage.

"Mama's recipe book?" asked Sonia who folded her hands on her chest while looking at Aliyya.

"Yes, Ma. After all I love cooking and I want to cook from the cookbook here." replied Aliyya who remained calm.

A thin grin appeared instantly from the beautiful face of the middle-aged woman when she heard Aliyya's request. I don't know what she's thinking about it and it looks like Sonia wants to challenge her husband's favorite daughter-in-law.

"No!!! You make your own cooking with the time that matches the recipe book Mama!!! Only 20 minutes! Can you do it?" said Sonia who wants to challenge Aliyya.

"Alright, Ma. But if I succeed, I want to ask Mama for a gift." replied Aliyya as she glanced at Bi Sumi and the poor maid.

"What gift?" ask the cold Sonia.

"Mama don't fire that waitress huh" replied the smiling Aliyya.

Bi Sumi and the servant also threw each other a look of disbelief. The poor maid who had been very sad because she was threatened to lose her job now smiled with relief when she heard Aliyya's request. Meanwhile, Sonia whose face was getting sour just glanced sharply at the Servant.

"Yes, if within 20 minutes you can not finish your cooking, then the waiter will be fired" said Sonia.

"That 20 minutes is too long, Ma. I will finish my cooking in 15 minutes." replied Aliyya who was relaxed.

Sonia who was getting annoyed and careless just smirked thinly without looking at Aliyya. While Bi Sumi still seemed worried and afraid that the cooking practice would end up chaotic which was accompanied by a quarrel between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Wait for what else? Cooking time starts now!" said Sonia with a thin.

Aliyya who was still acting calmly and smiling also just nodded. The cooking practice between Sonia, the famous cook of a thousand cities with Aliyya, the girl who really likes and hobbies cooking food began! The atmosphere in the kitchen also turned very tense. Not tense for Sonia or Aliyya, but felt tense for those who watched the show.

With great painstaking and deft, both Sonia and Aliyya seem to be engrossed in starting the cooking practice. They are very good at concocting spices and also cooking. But of course there are differences between the two women of different generations. Starting from how to give a dose to a taste that is certainly very different. Because other hands, then other flavors of cuisine that will be produced later.

***

After a long journey, Zein and his friends arrived at the front of the house. One by one his friends went down and followed by Zein. But when Zein just got out of his car, he suddenly remembered Aliyya. Not because of the miss or anything else. Instead of remembering to tell Aliyya that she and her friends came to the house. Then Zein grabbed his phone before following his friends.

Fill in Zein message :

Tonight I'm with my friends going to watch a football game on my room television. So you don't have to go into the room for tonight.

After the message was sent to Aliyya's phone, Zein walked in and brought his friends.

"Your wife is so nice, Zein. He gave us permission to watch the game late like this. If other wives might give that permission to her husband" said one of Zein's friends who embraced him.

"It's not her that good, but me!!! You know not that I can manage my life, my room and my house as I please. So no one can control and control my life, not even I myself can change my lifestyle." Zein replied while sitting on the sofa.

Rizal and his friends just looked at each other while nodding their heads, as if agreeing with whatever Zein said. When Zein, Rizal and his four friends were sitting on the sofa, Bi Sumi who chose to come out of the kitchen also approached the handsome man.

"Bi Sumi." said Zein, rising up.

"Assalamualaikum Bi.." said Zein's friends.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." Bi Sumi replied.

"Bi... What's wrong? Everything's fine, right?" asked Zein who saw the panic on Bi Sumi's face.

"Your wife is currently in the kitchen, Zein." Bi Sumi replied as she turned to the kitchen.

"He's not in the room when this is what's most important to me, Bi." said Zein happily.

"But your mom was there too. Right now they are making a fuss in the kitchen." replied Bi Sumi who was still worried.

"Leave it, Bi. The commotion that happened will make Aliyya aware of what she has been doing all this time." said Zein who remained relaxed.

"What did you say? She's your wife, Zein!" serkas Bi Sumi patted Zein's shoulder.

"Already, Bi. Don't think too much." replied Zein who was trying to calm Bi Sumi down.

"Based on you!!! Yes, then Auntie will check them again and bring food for you." said Bi Sumi while pinching the arms of her foster child.

Zein and his friends nodded and Bi Sumi passed away to the kitchen.

"Today is my lucky day and tonight Real Madrid will beat Barcelona" Zein said as he sat on the couch.

"No!!!"

When Zein and his friends were busy sitting together, suddenly the voice of someone baritone sounded very loudly refuting Zein's words from the direction of the stairs. Instantly all eyes were on the man who was none other than Farhan Abdullah. Zein's eyes were increasingly wide open when he saw the typical Barcelona football shirt that was being used by Farhan while holding a ball.

"Tonight Barcelona will win, not Real Madrid! One empty for Barcelona! One is empty for Barcelona!!! One empty for Barcelona!!!" pekik Farhan who bertubi and very excited as he approached Zein.

Rizal and Zein's friends who saw Farhan's attitude could only see confusion, astonished by Farhan's behavior who still felt that he was still the same as his sister. Zein also moved from his seat and approached Farhan who looked very excited because of the football game tonight.

"Sister... What is Brother doing here?" asked Zein who was whispering in Farhan's ear.

"Of course I want to support Barcelona. Tonight Barcelona will be the winner!" replied the excited Farhan.

Zein grated his head that did not itch at Farhan's words. It turned out that Farhan also wanted to watch a ball game with Zein and his friends. But it seems, both Rizal and Zein's four friends seem to mind if the two-wife man comes to watch.

"Hey everyone! Tonight we will support Barcelona! I support Barcelona! I will support Barcelona! Oh Barcelona! You have to win and I will support you! Hope you win tonight! Oh Barcelona is great." said Farhan who sang with joy as he surrounded Zein's friends.

Zein who saw the behavior of the brother was confused. While Zein's friends who saw it could only snort amusedly and dislike the style of the man who was not young anymore.

"Zein.. I wouldn't watch a game if there was him!" said Rizal who whispered in Zein's ear from behind without a trace of Farhan.

"You just calm down. I'll take care of it." replied Zein who whispered.

Rizal does not like Farhan since the handsome man married Shafia and made the relationship between the two so tenuous, because Rizal considers that Farhan has betrayed his brother, Namira and married Shafia.

"Sister.it's better to sleep now" said Zein who tried to persuade Farhan.

"Why should I sleep Zein? Namira said that you will see the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. So I wanted to watch it with you guys and I thought that we fellow men would watch the game together. Isn't that right, Dik?" replied Farhan who is a football fanbase while pointing to Rizal.

"Dik???" asked the surprised Rizal.

"Yes, Brother. You are my brother-in-law!!!" pekik Farhan was still enthusiastic and excited.

"I'm Namira's sister, but I'm nothing to you!" tukas Rizal the careless.

Farhan's countenance changed pias momentarily upon hearing Rizal's words that he might no longer consider himself a sister-in-law. But Farhan could not do anything else because all that had passed and did not pay much heed to Rizal's words. While Rizal was just being indifferent and ordinary without wanting to know what Farhan felt.

"Sir. tonight I want to watch with my friends. So I beg you to...."

Just as Zein was trying to persuade Farhan not to go with her, suddenly a girl's cry came from the direction of the stairs. All eyes were on the source of the sound.

"Papa... Papa's..."
