LOVE THAT SPEAKS

LOUSY

Although Mama Maria accepts and approves the marriage, but her heart is still not fully willing if Salisa must marry someone who is both not yet familiar, let alone love each other. Mama Maria is still so worried about her youngest child. It was circumstances that forced Mama Maria to agree to Salisa's marriage to Jacob.

It is possible that if the current position is the same as when Papa Antoni agreed to Alisya's match with Uncle Doni's son Bastian, of course Mama Maria will try to cancel her marriage. At the moment Mama Maria can only pray the best for her daughter.

In the kitchen, Jacob approached Salisa who was cooking. Jacob felt that Salisa now looked more reserved. It was very different from the Salisa that Jacob used to know. Ever since Jacob was there, there hasn't been a word Salisa said.

Jacob was very confused about where to start their conversation. Jacob's main goal right now is to apologize to Salisa. "Can I help Salisa again?" ask Jacob after he finishes cutting the long beans.

Salisa was silent and did not address Jacob's questions. Salisa is still busy with his activities slicing red onions, while occasionally wiping his painful matanya because of it.

Jacob is increasingly confused about how to behave with women who currently instead become crying because of his consciousness. "I'm sorry, Salisa, please. If you're willing to forgive me then I promise to grant all your wishes" Jacob said, holding Salisa's hand and forcing the girl to stop her activities.

"Don't challenge Salisa again, please! I am a cowardly man who is so afraid to face our problems. If you want to slap my cheek as much as you want. But I beg you not to cry anymore." Jacob could not bear to see a woman crying in front of him. Gently, Jacop wiped away the tears of Salisa who was welling up in his eye patch.

While Salisa was even confused himself because he was crying not because he was feeling sad. Except the result of the onion he sliced. After being cheered on by Mama Maria, Slisa had indeed promised herself that she would accept all the harsh realities she experienced and would not cry anymore.

Already, Salisa did not respond to Jacob because he did not hear what was said by the man due to the headset he wore to listen to music so that his heart could be a little entertained and not sad anymore. Even from earlier Salisa was not aware of the arrival of Jacob who was behind him. Salisa is so focused on cooking activities that do not want to fail as usual.

Salisa stared fixedly at Jacob's eyes that reflected an image of him. Eyes that look slurred with a clear ball of brownish color imply sadness and regret. Salisa immediately took off the headset that blocked his ear.

"When have you been here, Jacob? I'm fine, it's just that my eyes are sore from slicing onions. Why do you look so worried like that?" salisa said innocently. During this time Salisa never hated Jacob, instead he felt guilty also because of the problems of their marriage plans. Salisa feels guilty because she must be the third person for Jacob's love affair with Miss Ana. Moreover, until now the engagement ring that should be in the hands of the other woman was still circular on her finger.

"A a what? So I misunderstood you earlier? Did you not hear what I said?" jacob asked with a little embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Jacob. But the song I played was too noisy and I tuned it to a loud volume. Sorry if I can't hear you. Can you repeat your words?" pinta Salisa is friendly.

"Emm, no really. I was just asking if there was anything I could help." Jacob replied nervously.

"Oh.all right, if you want to help. Can you cook?"

"Of course, although not as great as the chef, but at least my cooking often gets praise from the audience" said Jacob proudly.

"really? very mooniness. Then can you teach me? I haven't been able to cook well. If it is not burnt, then maybe my cooking will taste like salt or sweet like sugar or even tasteless at all. I also don't know why my cooking can't even be called food" Salisa said with a frown.

"Well, if that makes you cry no more. Then I will be your teacher with pleasure."

"You're hurting me, huh? I also don't understand why onions have to be created on this earth and make me cry" Salisa said, pursing her lips.

"You're so funny, Salisa. But I salute you. You really are a tough woman and not what I imagined you to be."

"So what do you want me to be? there was no way I would cry for days and not let my life become colorless anymore. Right now maybe I just want to focus on..." Suddenly Salisa fell silent and did not continue his words.

"What is Salisa focused on?" asked Jacob curiously.

"Emmm focus on learning to cook" replied Salisa who actually could not tell the real reason.

"Ohhh. Then let's get started. I see from the ingredients here it looks like we're going to make an asem vegetable. Then we'll chop up all the vegetables we need. I'll help you cut this corn Salisa, this corn stalk is hard enough, maybe you'll have a hard time with it."

"really? but can I try it? I also want to try all the steps so that I can really be called already able to cook" said Salisa earnestly.

"You sure? All right then. You can try it. But you have to be careful with the knife."

"Jacob, you don't have to worry."

"Then you try! I'll heat the water first." said Jacob, who then turned to pick up the pot and fill it with water. After feeling the water was enough, Jacob then placed it on the stove and lit the fire.

Just now Jacob wanted to re-examine Salisa's work, but the man had heard Salisa's scream.

"Aww is sick." Jerit Salisa makes Jacob run to him.

"What's Salisa?" jacob panicked.

"My hands are bleeding from a knife" Salisa replied by pointing at the tip of her finger that was slightly injured by the knife. Without wasting any more time Jacob immediately swept Salisa's bloody hand and put it in his mouth. Jacob sucked a bit of Salisa's blood out of his finger.

Salisa could only see Jacob's treatment of him. Salisa pulled her hand forcefully. "I'm okay Jacob. It's just a small wound" Salisa said nervously.

"Where is Salisa's medicine box. I forgot it wasn't my house." Jacob asked innocently.

Salisa smiled and as much as possible held back his laughter. "In the closet. Did you see him?" salisa said while pointing in the direction in question.

Jacob followed where Salisa's finger pointed and saw a white box with a red symbol typical of P3K boxes in a glass cupboard not far from there. Jacob immediately took the box and brought it to Salisa's.

Jacob helps Salisa by putting alcohol on the wound on Salisa's finger then followed by giving a little red medicine and covering it with plaster. "You should be more careful, Salisa. I told you this cornstalk was a little hard."

"I'm sorry Jacob, I was just a little excited" Salisa said with regret.

"Bring here, let me do it for you. You notice how you can never be open again." Jacob then takes over the knife Salisa used.

Jacob cut a circle across the surface of the Corn's hump but it was not cut off. Then Jacob put down his knife and held it with his hand on both ends of the Corn. "Look at this Salisa." Jacob then broke the Corn he held until it was divided into two parts.

"Why didn't you say there was such a technique? It's only fitting that I tried to cut the corn with a knife but it seemed so hard."

"Hehehe, I forgot to tell you. You don't pout anymore" Jacob continued, cutting the second corn.

"Can I try it?" refer Salisa back.

"can't. Your hand is hurt. How can I let you do it again."

"Come jacob. How can I learn to cook if you don't let me try it again."

"alright then. But you have to do it carefully and under my supervision."

"Thank you" said Salisa who then took another corn drum for him to cut. Salisa practiced exactly as Jacob had done. But when Salisa tried to break the Corn with both hands, Salisa still felt it was too hard and could not be broken as easily as Jacob did earlier.

Salisa tried it repeatedly by twirling it and flipping through the Corn in his hand. Salisa has also exerted all his energy but still the Corn is intact as before.

Jacob could only smile amusedly looking at the mouse Salisa felt was looking cute and comforting it. "Have you given up Salisa? if you have, leave everything to me." Jacob said as he unceasingly smiled.

"Wait a minute, I can't just give up. I saw you do it so easily, but why can't I do it as easily as I thought." Salisa replied, still unwilling to give up on Corn.

"I know, it seems like I have to improvise a little on my own" Salisa said confidently. Salisa then made his knee as a tumouan so that he could save more energy and break the Corn more easily. And it's true that Salisa did it.

Suddenly Salisa joget-joget excited because it managed to prove that he could do the job that he considered so difficult.

Jacob could no longer hold back his laughter seeing the absurd behavior of the woman before him. On the one hand Jacob was also amazed by Salisa's persistence this time. "You're so funny Salisa." Unknowingly, Jacob suddenly pinched Salisa's cuby cheek.

Salisa, who was nervous about Jacob's treatment, was about to dodge by retreating and staying away from the man who made his heart beat. because not careful Salisa slightly staggered and her hand was about to nudge the hot pot that was on the stove.

Fortunately Jacob immediately realized and pulled Salisa's hand so that Salisa did not get burned by nudging the hot pot. Because Jacob pulled her so tightly, Salisa could no longer control her body and made herself hit the body of the man before her.

For fear that Salisa will fall, Jacob clutched Salisa's body with both hands to make them like they were hugging tightly. For a moment the world stopped turning for the two. They looked at each other at a very close distance and almost kissed.

After Salisa and Jacob regained consciousness, they then released their hands holding each other tightly in their arms.

The atmosphere turned so awkward for Salisa mauoun Aldo. "A, I'll check the water." Jacob said as a reason to be able to avoid the atmosphere that makes it pounding.

"In that case, I will prepare the bunnya." replied Salisa who was no less awkward with that involuntary hug.
