Love Me Tender's

Guests in the morning

Tiara blinked to normalize her neutrality with the light around her.

"Where am I?" tanyanya.

"You're in my room" answered Mark's baritone voice.

A smile rose on Tiara's face. "Thank you dear" said Tiara, embracing Mark's arm.

"Let go!" firmly Mark.

Tiara looked up at Mark as she frowned. "Why?"

"Cih, don't pretend to be innocent. Because you've realized that you're moving into your room!" firmly Mark.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Go now or I'll change my mind!"

The word that came out of Mark's mouth made Tiara feel afraid. He did not want to go back inside the cold room without that illumination.

"Okay, I went to the room", said Tiara as she got up from Mark's bed.

"Wait a minute!" mark said as Tiara had just stepped foot.

Tiara turned around while smilingly looking at Mark. "I - "

"Bring all the blankets you've been wearing!" mark's word cuts Tiara's speech.

Tiara, who was happy to call him, turns moody because of what Mark asked her to do. In a fit of annoyance he pulled the blanket and carried it outside.

It's enough that you've played me, Mark's mind as he stared at Tiara's back away.

In a different place, in a room. Indira put her luggage next to the closet.

"You're sleeping here for a while. After my room has been redesigned by a famous designer, you can move into my room" Theo said as he put Rafa on the bed.

"Do you need anything?"

Indira nodded in response. "This is enough" he answered.

"Okay, then I'm out now."

"How about we tell Daddy and Mommy first" Indira repeated.

"Do you want to disturb their sleep?"

Indira was silent for a moment. On the one hand he did not want to make Theo's parents distracted, but he also did not want to be said to be disrespectful, entering into someone else's house without permission. Although Theo is a resident of the house, there are more entitled to the house.

"Okay, then I'll wake up early tomorrow morning", Indira broke up.

Theo continued his steps walking outside the room. Just as Theo closed the door to Indira's room, he was shocked by the aunt standing on her left side.

"Why is my aunt standing there?" asked Theo in annoyance.

Bi Iyem looked at Theo with curiosity. "Will Non Dira stay here again, den?" ask the aunt while following Theo's steps.

"Less-less gossiping, Bi. Expand the charity of worship", answered Theo accordingly.

"Auntie just asked not to gossip", the aunt argued.

Theo stared at Bi Iyem who followed him to his doorstep. "Will Aunt sleep here?" point Theo at the door of his room.

Bi Iyem was forced to leave, even though he had yet to get an answer to his question.

Then Theo opened the door and went into his room.

...---...

The next morning Indira really did as she said. With Bi Iyem he prepared a special breakfast for all members of the Theo family.

"Why Non Dira doesn't stay here. Kan, it's good that Non's family can come back intact", asked the Aunt while arranging the dishes at the dinner table.

Indira smiled bitterly. "He wants it that way, Bi. But there is something difficult Dira said", Indira replied that without her realizing the Queen had stood behind her and heard their conversation.

The strange gurgle of the Aunt made Indira suspicious. He looked back, but Indira was surprised to see the in-laws standing behind him.

"Morning, Ma'am", greet Indira with a little groggy.

Did mommy hear our conversation? Indira asked inside.

"Morning", the Queen replied with a smile looking at Indira's nervous face. "How did you sleep tonight?" the Queen asked without suspecting the whereabouts of Indira in the house.

"I slept well, Mom", he replied.

"That means you are very comfortable in this house", added the Queen while preparing a special breakfast for her husband.

The queen looked at Indira with a smile. "Yes, go" he answered.

Indira immediately moved from his position to stand and walked away from the Queen and Bi Iyem. Not long ago the King came to the wife who had prepared a special breakfast for him.

"Morning, my queen", greet the morning King.

"Morning too, my king", replied the Queen who made Bi Iyem blush in embarrassment at the romantic scene this morning.

"Mr and Madam make me jealous" said the Aunt as she prepared the dinner table.

The King and Queen both laughed at the aunt's words.

Ting Tong's.

The sound of the bells ringing stopped their laughter.

"Let's see who's coming, Bi", the Queen said.

Bi Iyem walked hurriedly towards the door. Then he opened it. "Non, Lova" he said, letting Dealova into the house.

Dealova stepped inside the house. Then he walked towards the dining room without asking Bi Iyem first . He guessed that the entire Theo family was currently having breakfast together.

"August, Aunt. Morning, Om", greet Dealova with a friendly smile. The King and Queen were shocked to see the niece coming this early.

"Morning", the King and Queen reply almost simultaneously.

"What's it gonna take, until it's this early?" ask the Queen without a stale ado.

"Lova kangen Bi Iyem cuisine. Lova has not felt it for 10 years" Dealova replied, pulling one of the chairs.

"Makin Bi Iyem is the same as the others" chirped the Queen. She suspects Dealova's real intention is to meet Theo.

"Aunty Different! Lova has tasted other dishes, it doesn't taste the same."

"As far as you are. But please just sit there!" point the Queen at the seat at the end.

"Why is Aunt here?" ask Dealova. He knew that the seat next to him was occupied by Theo.

"That's a chair for Theo's wife."

"Emm, but Theo's wife doesn't exist" he added.

"Tante told you Theo was married!" firmly Queen.

"Morning, Dad. Morning, Mom", greeted Theo as he walked to the dining table.

"For Sister Theo", she greeted Dealova with a sweet smile, as she thought Theo had not seen her.

"Again", Theo answered briefly. "Can you move seats?" ask her on Dealova.

Dealova's face instantly turned moody. He got up from his seat, then he sat on the chair pointed at by the Queen.

"Morning, Opa...Omas... Uncle Ti and ... " Cha stopped her words when she saw Dealova.

"Aunty Lova.." said Dealova with a smile.

"For Aunty Lova", hapa Cha cha repeated.

Tamara greeted Dealova with a smile.

"This is your husband?" dealova asked as she saw Saka walking behind Tamara.

"Hem, Yes. Recognize this is my cousin" Tamara told her husband.

"Hi, greetings" said Saka with a smile.

"Greetings to know too", said Dealova who also smiled. Then he looked at the chair beside Theo.

Why should I move, if the chair remains empty, Dealova said.

"For all", said Indira while walking with Rafa approaching all family members. "Sorry Rafa is a little late to wake up", Indira continued while looking for a chair for him to sit on.

"Lova, please shift in the seat next to her", the Queen's pinta pointed at the very end of the chair.

With a bursting heart Dealova shifted to the seat next to her. This was the first time in his life that he felt embarrassed just because of the chair thing.

Indira felt uneasy, as she had made the family members of the in-laws uncomfortable with her presence.

"Sit, baby. Poor Rafa will be late for school" said the Queen.

Indira was forced to sit in a chair that had been guarded by the in-laws for her, then enjoy her homemade breakfast which was helped by Bi Iyem.

"This must be Dira's cooking! Very nice", praise Tamara who is recognized by the Queen and others except Dealova.
