He's Mine (Sharing Love)

Not Aunt

In the kitchen, Sofie's mother saw the aunt who was chopping vegetables, approaching immediately.

"Bi. There's fresh fish not in the fridge?" sofie's mother asked the maid's aunt.

"There's Mom. I bought it this morning, I cleaned it too. Make supplies," replied the maid's aunt as she opened the fridge, taking out the storage box, which contained several fish tails.

"Well, if anything, please cook sweet spicy sour fish, which is the same as yesterday" said Sofie's mother, giving the job to the aunt.

With a pale face, the maid's aunt wanted to say something, but Sofie's mother hunted away from the kitchen.

"How can I cook fish like yesterday, it is not I who cook. If I cook now and do not feel good will be caught, but if not cooked more wrong later," said the aunt maid in heart. She was anxious at her employer's request, to cook the sweet spicy sour fish.

"How is this?" Aunty maid, can't decide to cook immediately. He hesitated, between admitting that yesterday's cooking was not the result of his cooking, or he had to cook as much as he could.

"Ah, non Jani. How is this non, auntie even dizzy will be."

When the aunt still could not decide to continue, Sekar, her sister Abhimanyu, entered the kitchen. He wants to make warm tea his father ordered.

"Aunt why? kok seems confused so," asked Sekar, when he saw the face of the aunty maid who shriveled and looked confused herself.

"Eh it's Non, emhhh, anu, Auntie asked to cook sweet spicy sour fish same mother non," replied the maid's aunt, telling her current problem.

"Well, stay cooking dong, why confused?" ask Sekar wonder.

"Yes confused Non. Yesterday, it was actually the fish that non Anjani cooked, not Auntie."

The answer given by the maid's aunt, made Sekar regain consciousness. He felt guilty for judging Anjani, his sister-in-law, with the wrong judgment.

Finally Sekar asked the aunt maid, to continue her work, including cooking the fish that her mother asked for earlier. "Auntie just make the side dish, according to mother's order. If it's good thank you, if it's not in accordance with the taste, then they complain, Bibi just stay the real story," said Sekar, giving a way out on the problems faced by aunty maids.

"That's it, Non? all right then, auntie will do as Auntie can."

Now, a faint smile heard the words of the aunty maid, who sounded more relieved. His face no longer looked as crumpled as before.

"Somebark ahead first huh Bi. Aunty who's excited for the side dish. Good luck, and Sekar will eat well too!" exclaim Sekar, then stepped out of the kitchen, heading to where his father was sitting casually on the side terrace.

"It's Well," said Sekar, putting the warm tea cup his father ordered.

"Thank you Neng. You don't have a job?" ask Edi's father, to his son Sekar. (Neng, the name for girls, just like Nduk )

"It's so hard to make it Dad." Now, answer the question from his father quickly.

"Tumben is done?" ask his father, who is suspicious of what his son, Sekar wants.

Edi's father, felt that Sekar was wanting something from him. He guessed, if soon, Sekar would say a request, before his mother, Sofie's mother, came and forbade the father to fulfill Sekar's request.

"yeah. Emhhh. that, Sekar... It's fresh..." Sekar said with a stammer. He did not continue his sentence, as there was still something he was thinking about.

"What?" asked Edi's father, smiling faintly, because he felt that his guess was right.

"What?" ask Edi's father, urging Sekar, to say what he wants now.

"Emhhh, that's Dad. Sekar want to ask permission, during the semester holiday, Sekar wants to visit Bogor, to rum... mah Mbak Jani."

Now, saying his wish, stammering. He was afraid, if his father would forbid him to vacation in Bogor, to the house of his sister-in-law, Anjani.

"You want to go to Bogor, to your sister's house, Anjani?" ask Edi's father, making sure that his hearing is still functioning normally and not wrong when listening to the wishes of his son, Sekar.

Now, just nod while smiling awkwardly. He was afraid that his father would be angry. But before long, his father seemed to smile and nod his head.

"Really Dad?" ask quickly. He felt very happy and half in disbelief, with the permission given by his own father.

"You want to go there?" ask Edi's father, want to know the reason for his son.

"Somewhere would like to be Dad. After all, Madam Jani's house is shady and fun. There is also a cafe in his house, right? Now you can help, and learn a lot about Ma'am Jani's business and cooking as well, at the chef's cafe."

Edi's father, nodding understandingly, with what his son said. Shortly after, Edi's father took a warm cup of tea that had been brought by Sekar for him. He drank it slowly, thinking that Sekar had made progress and was no longer hostile to his sister-in-law, Anjani.

*****

At dinner, all the dishes were neatly arranged by the maid's aunt. He prepared a meal to suit the taste of his employer's family, as usual.

When the menu of sweet spicy sour fish put a maid aunt, Edi's father wanted to taste it. He wanted to know, why the smell was no longer the same as yesterday. The color of the flour is also different, really not the same.

"This is who's cooking Ma'am?" ask Edi's father, while cutting the fish he will taste.

"Auntie Dad," answered his wife quickly.

"Hemmm, how is it different?"

Edi's father, he tasted the fish. Now, he was chewing it, and felt the taste of the food. Edi's father, looking frowned, thought of the difference between the cuisine that used to be and the one in front of his eyes right now.

Sofie's mother, so curious also when she heard her husband's words about the taste of the food cooked by the aunty maid. Finally, he went to taste the sweet spicy sour fish. And when it was done, he also felt that this fish, not the same as before.

"Kok is different. Aunty!"

Sofie's mother, begging the maid's aunt, to be questioned for dishes that don't taste the same as they used to.

When Sofie's mother called her aunty, Sekar and Yasmin, along with tasting the sweet spicy sour fish. They were also curious, with what their mother and father had said.

"Emhhh. Kayak still feels Annis, and the roof can't fit like yesterday either."

Sekar, who heard Yasmin's words, also nodded in agreement. But, she only smiled faintly, because she already knew, who had yesterday cooked her fish, and it was not the maid aunt, just like the one now on the table, in front of all of them.

"Auntie. Why isn't the fish the same as yesterday?" ask Sofie's mother, who was suspicious of the results of the maid's cooking.

"Anu Nyah, that was yesterday, the fish that non Jani cooked. Not aunty," replied the aunt, with a lowered face.
