He's Mine (Sharing Love)

It's not possible Anjani

Two days Anjani was in Jakarta. This was also because of Abhimanyu, there were some jobs that he had to take on as quickly as possible, as there were companies that asked him to quickly do the job in the near future.

"Mom, can Jani help you?" jani asked her mother-in-law, who was in the kitchen with her aunt.

"Can you cook? the one who cooks in your cafe is someone else, not yourself."

Clearly, her mother-in-law doubted Anjani's ability to cook. Abhimanyu's mother thought that Anjani could not do the kitchen.

Anjani, just smiling faintly heard the spicy words from her mother-in-law. He felt trifled, but he just kept quiet and worked on something else. That is, cleaning kitchen tools that have been used and are in the dishwasher.

Her father-in-law, came to the kitchen and asked her mother-in-law for help in the future. There's a parcel man looking for him.

"Mom, please come out for a moment. There's a package up ahead!" call his father who, to his wife.

"Well, did the package come? hurry too yes," replied Abhimanyu's mother, with a happy smile because the order package had arrived.

Now, Anjani and the aunt of the maid are in the kitchen, because her mother Abhimanyu has gone to the front of the house, meeting the package courier.

"Bi. Cook what? Jani help ya, so Jani can also learn to cook." Anjani, asking the maid's aunt for permission, to help her cook.

"By non. I wanted to cook sweet spicy sour fish. Aunty has cleaned the fish, just make this spice." The maid's aunt explained to Anjani what she was going to cook with her mother-in-law.

"Yes, let Jani do the work. Aunty can cook the other yes," said Anjani, agreed to continue the work earlier, which is to make sweet spicy sour fish.

"Non... can't you?" aunty asked, doubting Anjani's ability to cook food. She thought so, because her mother-in-law, Anjani, said that she underestimated Anjani when it came to cooking.

Anjani, just smiled thinly and continued the work without saying much. He painstakingly, picky-picking the herbs he would use.

Aunty maid, stunned to see the skill of Anjani. He felt ashamed, for participating in inappropriate words, by underestimating Anjani's ability.

"Wah Non, can memorize it with all the kitchen spices without asking Auntie. Sorry, Non, Aunt had also doubted Non Jani's ability in cooking."

Anjani turned a glance towards the maid's aunt. He smiled and went back to work. As for aunt, regret for having participated provoked by her own master.

"It seems, non Jani will get less good treatment in this house. Her mother-in-law was just like that when she spoke. Whereas non Jani, talk well and offer to help. Poor him, may others not be provoked, just like I was," said the aunty maid in her heart. He does not know, if in this house, Anjani is indeed less well received by its residents. That is, his sisters Abhimanyu did not like his brother-in-law.

Aunty maid, still paying attention to Anjani once in a while. He glanced at the lyrics to see how Anjani smoothly fried the fish without having any drama exposed to the splashes of cooking oil. He also noticed how Anjani, seasoning the fish and cooking it again, so that the aroma became fragrant and appetizing.

He became sympathetic and amazed with Anjani, after seeing all that. Apparently, his assessment at the beginning was wrong.

When all was almost done, and the sweet spicy sour fish was ripe, just poured into the serving plate, Anjani said goodbye to the bathroom because he wanted to urinate.

"Huh, just a pleasantries. In fact, in staying out, he also went. Just look for face!" Anjani's mother-in-law, grumbling in her heart, judged that Anjani could not be trusted to do homework.

"It's ripe, Bi. Hemmm. Tumben Bi, no need I wait it can be kayak gini? Usually it must be awaited because the aunt did not memorize with the spice at the right time. It must be delicious, because it looks perfect."

The maid's aunt almost spoke the truth, not her cooking, but Anjani, her daughter-in-law. But, the maid's aunt did not speak the truth, because from the back of the girl's employer, there was Anjani who looked shook her head, by putting one index finger in front of her lips. Asking him to keep quiet and not tell him the truth is happening.

Finally, the aunty of the maid could only remain silent and not answer the question of her master. He doesn't know why Anjani did all this. He could have defended her earlier.

At dinner.

Everyone gathered for dinner together. Tonight, is the last night Anjani and Abhimanyu are in this house. Tomorrow afternoon, the two of them will return to Bogor, to Anjani's house.

"Wah Ma'am, cook sweet spicy sour fish huh. Hemmm. Who's cooking?" asked Abhimanyu's father to his wife.

"So the mother wanted to cook, but Dad called Mom out because there was a package courier, right? so aunt continued cooking. May it be good, just as it looks and smells, too" replied his wife, who still doubted the taste of the food.

"If it's not good, I don't want to eat" said one of Abhimanyu's sisters. The others, followed by nodding while pouring rice onto his own plate.

Anjani, just shut up and say nothing, to tell the truth.

When the father had been taken rice and fish by his wife, he tasted the fish first. Dad knew, if the others, his children, were waiting for him to say how the sweet spicy sour fish tasted.

"Hemmm. This is more delicious than usual. There was no fishy scent either," said the father giving an assessment.

The wife became curious, because indirectly, her husband praised the food cooked by the aunty maid, rather than the dishes he made as in previous days.

"Well, that means that mom taught me success. Aunty could be because she taught me," said the wife, defending herself by saying that she was the one who taught a maid's aunt how to cook like this.

He smiled and nodded, hearing his wife's words. He did not want to argue, just because of the cuisine he praised. He also felt guilty for praising the cooking of others and not the results of his wife's cooking.

His younger brothers Abhimanyu, immediately took the fish, after hearing the judgment from his father. They both wanted to know if what his father said was true or not.

"Eh yes it is. Turns delicious. Wah Bu, this is not as usual," said his other son, giving the same assessment as his father had done earlier.

The mother, so also felt curious and tasted the fish meat. After that, she finally fell silent and felt doubtful, if this sweet spicy sour fish was the result of the cooking of the aunty maid. But, he also couldn't possibly think that it was Anjani_ who had already cooked the food for this side dish of their dinner. "Can't be Anjani, right? he was not in the kitchen when I came" asked Abhimanyu's mother, in her own heart.

Such are the questions and thoughts that are in the heart of Anjani's mother-in-law. He couldn't believe it, if Anjani had cooked.
