Love In My Silence

Episode 37's

"What would you cook?" said Lika saw Rina picking a stalk of chili.

"You cook fish, Steven was fishing" said Rina.

Lika approached Rina and helped.

"Mama rest, let Lika just cook" he said.

"And you guys just arrived, just rest first" Rina glanced at Adi who was busy with the fireplace.

"Just relax, Lika is not tired" Lika assures.

"What do you remember cooking? Since becoming the Princess, have you ever been to the kitchen?" rina Goda.

"Hehehe...Never did ma, the manager in the house would not permit me to enter the kitchen. It sucks!" Lika rolled her eyes remembering there was always a debate with the head of the manager if she wanted to get into the dirty kitchen.

"Then how do their daughters learn to cook? Who's cooking at her husband's house?" Lina seemed to think hard for it.

"Yes the manager is also ma" said Lika greeted their laughter.

"Well, if you want to cook, mama takes care of the cattle first behind ya" said Rina.

"Ready" Lika gave a thumbs up.

Lika swiftly picked green vegetables from their garden to be processed into food. He looks very good at working on it. Secretly Adi turned out to notice Lika from the fireplace.

"Aren't you cold?" adi said.

Lika turned to look at Adi who did not want to get out of her place. He smiled and shook his head. In his heart actually pity to see Adi's condition. It is unexpected that Adi who is always strong and annoying will be defeated by cold temperatures.

"Do you want help?" Adi offered himself.

"No need, you are there until your body is warm. Later I make ginger wedang also so as not to catch a cold" replied the girl.

Lika looked charming with her smile. Behind Lika's attitude that is always fierce and ugly to Adi, Lika is a motherly and loving figure.

"Thank you" Adi said sincerely and greeted with a sweet smile from Lika.

"Hhhh you guys arrived?" a man came in and brought a set of bananas that were still green.

"Mr!" Lika approached the man and hugged him without worrying about the man's dirty clothes.

"Ehh my son. Don't hug you right away, your clothes will get dirty" Anton stroked Lika's head.

"That's not important! Do you want hot tea? Lika bawain bawpia loh from Yogyakarta" Lika.

"You are my best son. Just make it, you want to shower first. Oh yeah, is that Andri my brother?" Anton glanced at Adi.

"Not sir, this is bang Adi his friend bang Andri. There was a bang Andri suddenly there was business so it did not go, but it will follow kok" explained Lika. Adi got up and kissed Anton's hand.

"What a pale face, kid, cold?" Anton watched Adi from top to bottom.

"Yes Om, a little bit" replied Adi timidly.

"You tell me to make wedang with your sister, the sword top" Anton gave his thumbs up.

"Yes, thank you" replied Adi.

Anton leaves them to clean up. In his heart Anton keeps suspicious of Adi that Adi is not just a friend of Andri, but has something to do with Lika.

Lika approached Adi and held her forehead. Seen a worry on Lika's face.

"Remember a break and wear a blanket. It will hurt! Brother slept in Lika's room first yes" Lika held Adi's hands very cold.

"What's good is kok kok, as long as you don't cold as brother" Adi's seductive.

"It still seduces me!" lika faces Morina and pushes Adi.

Adi just laughed a little at Lika's behavior.

"This boy is shy" he murmured.

"What did you say?" Lika panned sharply.

"Father's not" he said.

That afternoon Lika returned to being an ordinary girl. He helped cook and clean his house. He also made red ginger for the family. Lika looks very attentive to Adi at that time. He was worried about Adi's situation since arriving in the village. At dinner, Adi also seemed confused because the dish was different from what he used to eat at home.

After dinner, they sit casually in front of the house while enjoying the souvenirs brought by Adi and Lika accompanied by a wedding made by Lika.

"Aren't you taking a shower?" suddenly, Rina.

"Cold ma, don't dare take a shower. Moreover, bang Adi, wash your hands aja afraid earlier hahaha" Lika replied to the laughter of all of them.

"You guys are here for a month, so you're not taking a shower for a month?" ledek Steven's.

"It's not Stev!" hatch Lika

"It was cold today because it was raining. From this morning it was cloudy" said Anton.

"Ehhh I forgot ma, Mama Siska nitip souvenirs for Mama earlier. Yuk see" Lika holds Rina's hand to enter. Steven who kepo also come in and stay Adi and Anton.

"What semester have you been in?" ask Anton while smoking his cigarette.

"Semester end of Om, August I will graduate" said Adi proudly.

"What kind of parents do you work for?" ask again.

"Father of restaurant entrepreneurs and meubel Om and Mama take care of several orphanages" explained Adi.

"Ohh so. Then you're with my son that's dating?" Anton looked at her seriously.

Adi was also flinched. Like being showered with fire arrows it felt like hearing that question.

"Be..before Om" replied Adi stammered

"Do you like my son?" Anton looked up at the ceiling of his house.

"Actually yes Om" Adi let out a long sigh.

"It's okay for you to relate. Take care of the family's good name and keep the family's confidence and each other's self" Anton patted Adi's shoulder.

While in Lika's room,

"This is what, son?" ask Rina.

"Gatau ma, it's from Mama Siska" Lika replied.

"Open ma, manor bomb" Steven said.

Lika was just shaking her head to hear her sister's words. While Rina opened the ribbon of the small box and looked at the contents. A tiny diamond necklace seemed to sparkle in the light of the lamp.

"God is so beautiful" said Lika.

"Diamond?" ask Rina.

"This is what Mama Siska bought yesterday in Paris ma, very good" explained Lika.

Rina suddenly lethargic and sad.

"Mama why?" ask Lika.

"Sad mama son, mama is like selling mama's child" Rina hugged Lika and a clear liquid flowed from her eyes.

"Jeez Mama can't say that ma, Mama didn't sell Lika anyway. Look now I'm beside Mama, they never forbid me to communicate with Mama. They also prepare everything when I want to come home ma. We're like a new family that they've accepted, not just me but all of us" Lika tries to calm her mother down.

As Lika said, the Hermawan family never gave any restrictions to Lika to communicate with her biological family. They also accepted Lika's family just as they accepted Lika.

"Once Steven grows up, I also want to go to older brother" Steven said as he fondled the diamond necklace.

"Here, here's the necklace. It's got a mama" said Lika.

"Yes very stingy, brother. I want to eat dodollah outside with my father" the boy sulked and left his mother and brother.

Lika just shook her head to see her sister's behavior. He gave the necklace to his mother.

"You also seem to be wearing expensive items huh now son, they seem to love you very much" Rina looked around at Lika's clothes and the diamond necklace she used.

"But this necklace is not from Mama Siska ma, it's from Adi's bang" Lika lowered her voice.

"I was expecting your girlfriend Adi from earlier" Rina poked Lika's waist.

"No ma, my goodness this mama" Lika scratched her head in frustration.

"No need to lie to your mom. Now we better sleep, tomorrow there's a lot of work to do" Rina kept the diamond back in the box.

Lika blurted her lips because her mother could not believe that Adi was not her boyfriend. It seems Lika is in trouble. Lika also slept in a very thick blanket and stacked to feel warm.

Half an hour after Lika fell asleep, Adi also told Anton to sleep. Adi glanced at the entire room of the house looking for Lika but he did not see her. He went into Lika's room and laid down his body. The stacked blankets made Adi unaware that Lika had fallen asleep under her. He got into the blanket and closed his eyes.

No one was aware of the incident because everyone was busy with their respective affairs. Lika's parents think that Adi is resting inside Steven's room.
