My Husband's Secret

95. Cook for the future in-laws

“Assalamualaikum,” said Maysa and Eira together upon entering the house.

“Waalaikumsalam, Eira!” peekik Dio when he saw Mama and her sister coming home. “Why didn't I say I came home, I could pick you up earlier.”

“Sister, let her sister take a shower and rest first. His sister must be tired,” scolded Mama Mirna who made Dio smile. He was too happy to see his sister coming home.

“Iya, Oma. Eira bag let Dio who brought, Ma,” said Dio while reaching for Eira bag containing clothes.

“Indeed can, this is heavy.”

“Can.” Dio took the bag in his mother's hand, then carried it to the room. Although it looks difficult, but the child is still eager to take it. Eira follows her brother, she also misses their togetherness.

“Come, May. Soon Tama will be home,” said Mama Mirna resuscitated Maysa from her daydream.

“Mama didn't ask why Eira had come home?”

“Mama understands, from the look on Eira's face, all have explained,” replied Mama Mirna who was embraced by Maysa.

“Then, I go to the room first, Ma.”

“Iya.”

Maysa went into her room to clean up, before preparing dinner for her family. Meanwhile, in the children's room, Dio tidied his sister's clothes into the closet and put the dirty clothes into the basket there.

“Kak, sorry, I forgot not to buy Brother souvenirs,” said Eira who felt guilty to her brother.

“It's okay, later we buy something together. Yesterday Mama said to take us for a walk, you want to, right? Later there you have to buy something Brother,” said Dio who tried to comfort his sister.

“Mama want to take us where, Kak?” ask Eira enthusiastically.

“I don't know yet. Yesterday Mama said to wait for you to come home. Later we ask the same mom,” said Dio who is possessed by Eira.

The girl felt guilty for her family. Everyone cares so much about him. However, he prefers to vacation with someone who has never loved him. Now Eira promises, will put this family first, rather than her biological father or someone else who has absolutely no idea about her feelings.

“You take a shower, Papa will be home soon. Later we talk to Papa and Mama,” said Dio after finishing tidying up his sister's clothes.

“Iya, Brother.” Eira soon passed to the bathroom. He had indeed started to get used to bathing himself because he did not want to bother his mother.

Riri just arrived in front of her house. He saw there was still Adit's car there. The girl shook her head. I don't know what that guy did at his house. Hopefully his ex-girlfriend does not do anything.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Riri when entering the house.

“Waalaikumsalam.”

Adit looks like he's cleaning the house. Riri only glanced at him at a glance then approached his mother who was watching television. The girl kissed the back of her mother's hand and placed a bag of crackles on the table.

“Ma, I was out of the minimarket, but there a lot of vegetables that run out so, I just buy this soon. Tomorrow I buy again.”

“Nevent need to buy, in the refrigerator already a lot,” said Mama Rafiqah.

“Not Mama, but she is shopping,” replied Mama Rafiqah while pointing towards Adit with her chin.

Riri followed her mother by seeing Adit. However, the girl did not dare to comment much. He just shut up and nodded.

“I'm going to take a shower first, Ma. After that I made dinner for Mama,” said Riri who immediately went into his room.

The girl sat on the edge of the bed. He held onto his chest which was always beating faster when he was close to Adit. It is undeniable if the taste is still there for his ex-lover.

“What should I do? Do I have to fight for this love or let Mas Adit fight for it myself. I still love him, but I'm afraid I'm hurt like I used to be. Maybe if I was the only one who got hurt it wouldn't matter. I don't want people who have given birth and raised me to be affected by it all. Let everything go properly,” muttered Riri.

Not wanting to get in trouble. The girl immediately cleaned herself up. She also had to prepare dinner for her mother. Regarding Adit if Mama Rafiqah allows to eat, it does not matter.

“RI, where are you going?” ask Mama Rafiqah who is in the family room.”

“You to the kitchen, Ma. Want to cook for us dinner.”

“No need, you sit here only. Adit is cooking for us,” said Mama Rafiqah as she patted the sofa beside her.

“Hah ...! What does Mas Adit cook? It can, Ma?” asked Riri doubtfully.

“Mama also does not know. He himself offered. Never mind, don't think too much. We can just enjoy.”

Riri nodded and sat down beside her mother. He was also curious, about what the man would cook. Back when they knew each other, Riri knew very well that Adit could not cook. A one-year separation between them, has changed a lot of Adit, while he is just like this.

Does he still deserve to be with a great guy like Adit. Suddenly the girl's confidence dropped. It used to be that the man's parents never agreed with him, let alone now. Definitely rejected.

“Sorry, Mrs Rafiqah, Riri, the food is ready. Let's enjoy!” invite Adit to distract the two women who were originally staring at the television.

“Are you sure about the dishes you serve? I am afraid of poisoning later,” asked Mama Rafiqah.

“Mother rest easy, the food I cooked, guaranteed healthy,” Adit said without feeling the slightest hurt. He knew that what Mama Rafiqah said was just a joke.

“Alright, let's enjoy dinner today! With a new chef, hopefully after eating later everything is fine,” invite Mama Rafiqah.

“I guarantee everything will be fine and will be collectible, Mom,” said Adit who followed the two women from behind.

When I arrived at the dinner table, Mama Rafiqah and Riri could see various kinds of dishes there. All of them are also typical home-cooked foods, which they really like. A smile adorns Riri's lips. So did Mama Rafiqah. Both women were happy, it turns out Adit really knows what they like.

“Please, Mom, enjoy! If there's anything less, just say it. Let me learn to cook again.”

Mama Rafika nodded and started to enjoy dinner tonight. Adit looked at him with anxious expectation. Afraid if the cuisine does not match the tastes of his future in-laws.

“Why do you just look at it? Sit down, let's eat together!” take Mama Rafiqah who is owned by Adit. “Eh! Sit there!” he cried when he saw Adit would sit next to Riri.
