"There's a beautiful guest apparently."
Laras who was from the hospital for a while, entered Zahra's room and saw Melati who was chatting very fun with Zahra.
"Yes, this is Zahra's best friend, more precisely Zahra's brother, Melati." Zahra introduces Jasmine to the Barrel.
"Dark." Melati grabbed Laras' hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Oh baby, a very beautiful name just like the person." Laras praised Melati while gently holding her chin.
Baras is a very friendly and loving woman.
Melati felt embarrassed, as Laras continued to hold her chin while looking at her.
"Oh yeah, where's Sultan?"
Tanya Laras then removed her soft finger from Melati's chin. Then sit on the edge of Zahra's bed and take out a medicine bottle.
"Yes, Sultan here."
The Sultan entered Zahra's room, and stood next to Melati.
Zahra pulled Laras, brought the woman's ear closer and whispered something that made Laras smile brightly.
Melati certainly did not know what Zahra whispered to Laras, but the Sultan clearly knew, especially when he saw Laras nod and smile at him.
"Ekhmm."
Feeling awkward while being stared at by his mother, Sultan cleared his throat and said "I'll be in my office for a while."
Then the Sultan immediately came out of Zahra's room and went to his study not far from there.
"Now lunch time, mama has bought the ingredients, you rest here well baby, mama will cook for a while." Said Laras and wanted to get out of there.
"Can I help auntie?"
Not only Laras who was surprised to hear Melati ask, but more than Laras, Zahra as the best friend knows if Melati is very lazy to cook very, very surprised.
But Zahra said nothing.
"By, come with aunt."
Laras would be happy to invite Melati to the kitchen.
...
There are even some dishes that Jasmine makes on her own, which even Laras himself never makes.
"God, you are very good at cooking."
Laras's praise was not just a mere compliment, but he was completely amazed by Melati.
"Not even tan, I actually cook very rarely. Even Zahra doesn't know if I can cook."
Said Melati while lifting her cooking to serve.
"really? then Zahra will definitely be very surprised when eating your delicious dishes later."
Said Laras, he felt very fond of Melati who is very easy to get along with.
"Did you guys say my name?"
Worried that his best friend would be confused in the kitchen, Zahra went down to help.
"Darling, why are you down? your body is still limp, isn't it?"
Laras said attentively, he has not allowed Zahra out of the room because Zahra's body is still not fully recovered.
"I'm much better. I'm here to help." Said Zahra then stepped beside Melati.
Laras smiled and said, "You're late, baby, your best friend has cooked all the ingredients."
Laras pointed to some dishes that are ready to be served.
"Did I not hear wrong? you made all this?"
Zshra asked in disbelief, because all this time she knew that Melati was very lazy to cook and only bought food for herself and her sister when her parents were not home.
"Not all, just these two dishes, the other I'm just helping aunty."
Melati's words certainly made Zahra surprised.
"Are you not so lazy to cook? and I guess. upsh doesn't mean I..."
Zahra felt bad because of the innocence, she felt that she had opened the bad side of her own best friend in front of Laras.
But no, Melati and Laras laughed and Melati said, "Give me aunty, Zahra is really surprised and won't believe me because I do cook very rarely."
