Marrying my Dark Beloved Friend

Chapter 56

"Oh yes, different as it turns out," Alea said as she touched the salt and flavoring to just distinguish. And now, he already knew the difference. 

Bi Eni then mengolek pepper, candlenut that has been roasted, salt, flavoring, red chilli, and mushroom broth. Alea continued to watch Bi Eni. Afterwards, Bi Eni asked Alea to mix all the ingredients into a fitting dough. 

"Bi, is this enough? Or too thick?" asked Alea who was mixing all the ingredients and tested whether the batter was right or not. 

"Udah, Non. Sip. Non Alea is great" said Bi Eni while showing both thumbs so that Alea continues to be eager to learn. 

"It's still fried, huh, Bi?" ask Alea again. On the stove, there was already a frying pan filled with oil in it. 

"Yes, Non. I give you an example, yes. Let Non Alea imitate it later, "bi Eni advised. He then grabbed a basin of bakwan dough from Alea's hand. 

He then poured the batter bakwan on the face that the oil was hot. The middle-aged woman poured the dough painstakingly and carefully using a larger sized spoon. 

"As it is, Non. Later after this, try Non Alea, yes." Bi Eni put the big spoon into the basin. 

Alea nodded her head. Now, he's beginning to understand. "This will be turned around, right, Bi?" ask Alea. The woman had already grabbed the spatula to flip the bakwan. 

"Yes, wait a minute, Non."

Bi Eni was already like a competent teacher, while Alea looked like an obedient and intelligent student. They continued to finish frying the bakwan until the dough ran out. 

"Ahh, tired. Finally, it's finished also yes, Bi," Alea said as she stretched her muscles. 

Bi Eni chuckled for a moment. "Rubber, Non. Cooking is easy, but if sudha is done so tired. Oh yes, thank you, Non. Have Bi Eni help cook bakwan."

"Together, Bi. I went back to see baby Rara, yeah. Tired in the kitchen hehe." Alea chuckled as she left Bi Eni alone in the kitchen. 

Alea quickly set foot toward where Raisa and baby Rara were. While Bi Eni is still continuing her cooking activities. 

"Hellow, baby Rara," Alea said as she entered Raisa's room and Rara's nursery. 

Raisa looked at the source of the sound. "Ehh, there's aunty Alea. Have you finished studying Aunty's cooking?" raisa asked in a voice like mimicking a child. 

"Udah. Make bakwan earlier, very tired. But it's exciting," Alea said. 

Now, Raisa is taking off all of Rara's baby clothes because soon Rara's baby will be bathed by her mother. 

Alea continued to listen to how Raisa took off one by one the cloths attached to the little baby's body. "Is this going to take a shower?" guess Alea around. 

"Rubber, Aunty. Come with me to take a bath, Aunty," said Raisa in a childlike tone as if she were representing the baby talking to Alea. 

Alea just chuckled at the words from Raisa. "Yeah, but Aunty's watching you take a shower, yeah." The woman chuckled again, Raisa also laughed. They both look so happy. 

Alea listened to what Raisa did while bathing Rara's baby from beginning to end. 

Alea was at Raisa's house until noon because when Rian took a break from work, he took the time to pick up Alea and then returned to take her home to the boarding house. 

"Did anyone?" call Alea to Rian when the man has started running his car. 

"Yes, my dear," said Rian enthusiastically. 

"I'm ready to marry you" Alea said, causing Rian to widen his eyes. 

"Are you serious, honey?" ask Rian to make sure. 

"Totally serious. I'm afraid if it's delayed, I'm in a hurry to give birth. Afraid Raisa was suspicious of me as well" Alea said. "I couldn't bear it if Raisa suddenly found out about the news of my pregnancy. I really couldn't help but hurt your super-good sister."

Not noticeably, Alea's tears had already poked on both of her cheeks after saying the length of the sentence to Rian. 

"Darling, I'll marry you soon. You don't worry. Raisa won't know, either." Rian tried to calm Alea down even though in his heart, the man was also sick when it came to remembering Alea being impregnated by the husband of her own sister. 

"I'm sorry, Ayang. I'm so mean to you, so is your sister." Alea's tears broke instantly. Showing that the woman had indeed deeply regretted her actions in that dark time. 

"Udah, Honey. The important thing is that you want to change and accept me as you are now. That's more than enough" Rian said. "I will acknowledge the child in your stomach as my biological child later."

"Thank you, Ayang."

Today, Alea will accompany Rian to check the condition of the house he will buy. The house was not far from Raisa's. 

After deciding to get married last day, Rian immediately looked for a house to live with his beloved wife later. 

Rian and Alea arrived at their destination. They went around the house accompanied by the original owner of the house. 

This house is not an empty house. Today, the whitewashed house is still inhabited. It's just that, there is an urgent need that makes the house large enough to be sold by the owner. 

The house looks so cool because it is surrounded by trees. Behind the house, there was a wide variety of trees that although not fruiting, it could improve the quality of oxygen in the middle of a city like this. 

Also in the yard of the house, there is a small garden that has a gazebo there. There are different types of flowers in the garden. It made Alea instantly interested in this house. 

"Where, honey? Fits right?" rian asked the wife-to-be. If Rian was private, he would follow Alea's wishes. He only checked the condition of the house building as a consideration because Alea did not understand it. 

"I fit in really well, Ayang. It's really cool here" Alea said enthusiastically. His gaze continued to lead to all corners of this house. 

He also had time to see room after room in the house, both on the first and second floors. 

"Yes, comfortable. The size is also not too big, but not too small as well" said Rian. He and Alea both agreed to stay at this place later. 

"Why, Sir? Deal, huh?" ask the original owner of the house to Rian while shaking hands. 

Rian shook hands. "Deal, sir," replied Rian. He also gave the original owner time to clean all his belongings for one week.
