Just An Illusion

Just realized

"Of course with your spoon." said Alvaro then who then made Inara surprised when he heard it.

"But mas.." said Inara to stop Alvaro.

But Alvaro did not mind it at all and still spoon the fried rice and eat it slowly. A smile appeared to rise from Inara's face at that time when he saw Alvaro so greedy eating his fried rice. Inara knows that Alvaro is hungry, which is why Inara asked to make fried rice hoping that Alvaro could eat with him.

"Look at son.. Doesn't your dad look so adorable?" inara said inwardly as she rubbed her stomach slowly.

While Alvaro who just realized that from now on he did just eat and eat without paying attention to Inara, then immediately put the spoon and smiled crisply towards Inara. This made a small laugh and then again sounded filled the room which came from both.

"I'm sorry, you even wanted the fried rice but instead I ate it. I don't know this fried rice is really very delicious Ra, how can you teach me to succeed like this? Even I never cooked any menu other than this fried rice." said Alvaro with a bright face staring at Inara at that time.

"I just direct it next you do, have you ever heard a word? A meal that will taste good if made with love and I think you do that to your fried rice" said Inara with a smile, which then immediately made Alvaro frown with a confused look.

"Love? Isn't that the same thing? Bi Lastri even does it every day but the cuisine and your cooking feel very different, can you also explain about it?" alvaro said then with a curious look, making a smile again seen rising from Inara's face at that time.

"The taste is the same, but what makes it different is the taste created in the cuisine. If bi Lastri cooks to fulfill her responsibilities as a housekeeper and cooks for her employer, whereas I.. I cooked it to fulfill my duties as a wife and also a friend to Mbak Kikan. Of course I give a different taste in every thing I pour. In other words what bi Lastri did was an obligation whereas what I did was purely out of my will, that's what made a big difference there. And also the matter of love is of course different between me and also bi Lastri" Inara explained.

Hearing the explanation from Inara just now, then made Alvaro speechless for a moment. He clearly knew what Inara meant just now. If indeed before Alvaro made fried rice with love dedicated to Inara and also the baby. Is this love really pure? Or is it just an underlying backlash so attracted to Inara?

I don't know what's on Alvaro's mind this time, but Alvaro is certainly not willing to lose Inara and her baby.

"Why are you silent? Do you understand my explanation?" said Inara then who immediately disperse the reverie Alvaro at that time.

"Ah yeah, sorry I'm really out of focus. I'll feed you... Open your mouth now... Aaa." said Alvaro then who then made Inara look at him strangely.

"No need to eat alone, you eat as you please. I'm even full of watching you eat." said Inara with a smile that was so beautiful that it adorned her face.

"What's up? Why are you silent?" inara said then with a look that returned confused because again Alvaro was silent again while staring at him.

"Nothing.." said Alvaro then while scratching his neck that is not with a crisp smile, making Inara then shook his head slowly to find the behavior of Strange Alvaro at this time.

Meanwhile, without both of them knowing, Kikan who was about to go down and take a drink of water because the glass in the water pitcher was finished. Then must find a sight that stifles him. A sight that Kikan did not want to see at all at this moment, making Kikan's footsteps instantly stop instantly.

Kikan was completely silent in place as if frozen to see Alvaro and Inara were cool together chatting while eating fried rice on their plates. One plate both really looks very romantic and also at the same time makes a big slap in Kikan's face at that time.

The shadow where the times when he was a newlywed were really recorded clearly in his memory. For some reason what Inara did with Alvaro was the opposite of everything he did with Alvaro.

When Alvaro always asked him to eat a plate together with him, where with a spoon used alternately. Making Kikan always reject him tightly, Kikan really did not want it because for Kikan it really felt very laughable. Where you have to change spoons with your partner and eat in one plate, even though at home a lot of plates are idle in the kitchen.

Now when I saw what Alvaro and Inara did tonight, it really opened the door of his heart. That it turns out Alvaro does not want to dirty dishes or even frugality and does not want to spend money. All Alvaro wants to do is do the little things that feel so romantic that will probably arouse the taste and passion of their love both.

It's just that unfortunately what Kikan regretted at this time he could not change or repeat in the slightest. His relationship and Alvaro even more distant and felt so cold. Every night Alvaro never sleeps in the room and always wakes up when Kikan is sleeping soundly. The conversation was not as warm as before, but strangely now Kikan even saw Alvaro laughing together with Inara as if without burden again.

Kikan let out a long sigh, in fact as a wife all this time what Kikan had done really did not reflect as a wife. What Kikan realized at this time was that the 10-year period meant absolutely nothing to Alvaro and himself.

After thinking about the activities of small things like Alvaro and Inara do today, in fact, they never both do even though. Their love life really feels bored and flat, which is only filled with personal life and also bed life. Those are the only two things they have been doing for the past 10 years, without being able to feel the minutiae of a marriage.

"Why did I realize it when Inara was present at Alvaro's side? Why?" said Kikan with a sad face.
