Love Anya For X

Theresa and Anya

Axton and Anya arrive at the main house of the Caldwell Family in the afternoon. As usual, they were warmly welcomed by both Axton's parents and Callista, his sister-in-law.

"Some healthy?" anya asked kindly after the girl asked Maxim the same thing.

Theresa cleared her throat before then answering in a flat tone, "Yes."

Anya smiled completely. The girl understood, Theresa still couldn't like it. Although no longer often sneering, but very obvious if Theresa refused to interact with Anya.

Anya took the initiative to embrace the woman's arm when she entered the house. Theresa was surprised and had wanted to escape, but seeing the look on Anya's face that was so shady and happy, she undoes her intentions.

Callista handed cake and pudding made by Anya to one of the maids to be served as a snack.

They sit in the living room, talking while eating snacks made by Anya.

Maxim and Callista sincerely praise Anya's cooking skills. Anya blushed in shame.

"It's normal, ahh! Make this one anyway, Mama can too!" seloroh Theresa ketus's. Anya gave a small laugh, not at all offended by her mother-in-law's statement.

"Feeling Mama is so good," praised Anya sincerely. Theresa is good at cooking. Although there are so many servants in this big house, but if the matter of food consumed by his family, he will immediately intervene on his own.

Hearing the sincere tone that Anya threw made Theresa speechless, pretending not to listen. Maxim smiled slightly looking at him. Although more reserved and indifferent, she was sure Theresa had turned more lenient. Although he did not know what caused the Wife to change, but at least the woman was no longer blatantly resenting their daughter-in-law.

After a long chat, Maxim allowed them all to rest while waiting for dinner. As usual, Theresa immediately entered the kitchen area where the Chefs were cooking dishes for later in the night.

Anya followed Theresa from behind.

"Why follow me?" ask Theresa.

"I want to help Mama cook. Can I?" anya said kindly. Although nervous, the girl tried not to show it.

Theresa threw a face and walked back. "Whatever!"

Anya smiled and followed Theresa.

...*...

The girl was amazed to see her mother-in-law so deft in processing food ingredients, Although assisted by some professional Chefs, but most of the cuisine remains Theresa who holds, especially about seasoning.

"You can cook, right?" asked Theresa suddenly, to Anya who was daydreaming because she was focused on paying attention to him.

"Ahh, little, Ma." Anya answered.

"Good, rather than just staying there better help me cut this meat," Theresa's orders were gladly received.

While watching Anya who will start chopping meat, Theresa gave tips on how to cut meat properly, so as not to eat and taste out.

"Cutting meat should be seen from its fiber. If the meat fiber you encounter has a vertical shape, then cut the meat in a horizontal direction. Youunderstand?" theresa.

Anya nodded in understanding. The girl began to cut the meat according to Theresa's direction.

The woman nodded in satisfaction when she saw Anya could do the task she was given.

"But keep in mind, not all meat should always be cut opposite to fiber. Depends cooking. If for rendang or jerky it would be better to cut it in the direction of the fiber." Theresa.

Anya nodded again. The girl was happy to get an extra lesson about cooking from her mother-in-law.

Theresa and Anya came out of the kitchen after making sure that the entire cuisine had been seasoned well. The rest they leave to the chefs.

"Thank you, Ma" Anya told her mother when they were on the kitchen doorstep.

"Thank you for what?"

Instead of answering her mother-in-law's question, the girl grabbed Theresa by the arm and took her to the backyard to talk.

"Mama's tired, wants a break." Reject Theresa.

"T ten minutes, Ma. Anya promise,"

Theresa breathed. Lazy to argue, he chose to obey the girl's will.

They are now sitting in a small pendopo built in the backyard of the house. In front of them lay a large fish pond filled with hundreds of Koi fish.

The gurgling sound of water really calmed Anya's heart. It is appropriate to keep fish is referred to as one method of relieving stress.

"What do you want to talk about?" ask Theresa ketus. His eyes stared at the sinister Anya who was engrossed in looking at the fish pond.

"I haven't enjoyed my time with Mama for a long time" Anya said.

The girl exhaled her breath once. "Mama remember? In the past, Mama used to bathe me and Callista a lot when we came here, or did you guys come to visit our house?" Anya turned her head, looking softly at Theresa's black bead.

"Mom forgot." Theresa answered without thinking.

Hearing Theresa's reply, Anya let out a small laugh. "Right, it was a long time ago, so Mama definitely won't remember it."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Theresa looked at the fish pond with an indecipherable look.

Of course, the middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful at her age, still clearly remembers the incident. He remembered how their families had such a close relationship with each other.

She also remembers how Ratna, Anya's biological mother, has always been her best venting friend. They spend a lot of time together or together while looking after their children.

Handoko's family is so kind to her family in any case. Including when Maxim was cheated by his colleagues all out so that all assets were forced to sell to cover the Company's losses. It wasn't even enough to pay her husband's debts in the bank.

While their lives are on the brink of collapse, Sigit, Anya's Father, happily invests his capital in the Husband's Company without bail. He also helped pay off Maxim's debts at the Bank, even paying the school fees Axton and Callista for a full year.

Sigit also entrusted one of his projects to Maxim without fear of failure. Luckily, thanks to Maxim's persistence and the support of his best friend, the project succeeded brilliantly. That was the stepping stone that brought the Caldwell family back to life.

Therefore, it was natural that Maxim desperately sought Anya to return the favor of his best friend.

What else Anya also helped them five years ago. The price may be much greater than what Sigit did in the past.

But why could he be so mean to Anya? What's wrong with that girl?

"– okay?"

"–a,"

"Ma, uh,"

Faintly, Anya's voice brought her back to the real world.

Tess!

Unknowingly Theresa shed her tears.

Anya was surprised, "Mama's crying?" tanyanya's worried. "Is there something wrong with Anya's words?" continue the girl.

Theresa hurriedly wiped away her tears and said cynically, "Don't you snitch! Mama's just flickering."

Anya nodded in understanding. The girl again thrust an object in front of Theresa. Theresa did not realize that Anya was thrusting an object that she took from her pocket.

"Mama definitely doesn't remember ever giving this to me, does she?" ask Anya.

"When I insisted on banning Mama from staying abroad, Mama gave me this to dream beautifully. What's so beautiful, can make me forget Mama for a moment."

"Mama must also not remember, if ever told me to take good care of her, so that Mama can take it back when she returned home. But apparently, it didn't happen because of my parents' accident incident, which somehow cut our communication off."

Her aura stretched out the Dream Catcher, the thing Theresa gave her and stared at it fixedly. "I still keep it to this day and I think now is a good time to give it back to Mama." Anya handed over that slightly worn-out thing.

"You're overdramatizing your life. It doesn't matter, so just throw it out there!" theresa's words this time shook Anya's heart slightly.

Anya took Theresa's hand and placed the small-sized Dream Catcher in her hand.

"I just want to keep my mom saying. Now this thing has returned to its owner, so if it's to be flanked afterwards, it's all up to Mama." Anya replied gently.

The girl then gave a short farewell to Theresa who was leaving Indonesia in three days. He reminded Theresa to maintain health and eat nutritious foods and take multivitamins.

After being satisfied to give some comfort, Anya then invited Theresa to go inside, because dinner might have been served.

"First, Mama's coming,"

Anya nodded and hugged Theresa, saying, "I'm sorry, if all this time my attitude has made Mama uncomfortable. I've loved Mama ever since, and that's never gonna change."

Theresa could hear Anya's voice sounding raucous.

Finished saying so, Anya got up from there and left Theresa.

Tess!

Tess!

The tears began to fall after Anya left him there. The woman tightly hugged the Dream Catcher that Anya had given her.

Verily he himself was not inexhaustible, why could he be so wicked to Anya just because Anya's life was far below theirs today? If it wasn't for her family back then, maybe their lives would be more miserable than that of the girl.

And what makes him regret to this day is that he was the cause of death of Anya's adoptive mother, Rastini.
