Not Just a Milk Mother

Chapter 38

Allura went home to the main house while the Star was sleepy, he was in the pavilion for only about thirty minutes. When entering the house, it turns out that Mrs Fika has returned home from the supermarket. He did sometimes come with Bi Endah to shop for home needs together.

"Lura, where are you from?" madam Fika asked as she looked at Allura who entered through the back door.

Allura stopped her steps, the girl brought the Stars to come closer to Madam Fika.

"I'm just the back pavilion, Madam," Allura replied.

"Oh. Is my grandson sleepy now?" he asked again because he saw the star who kept trying to swipe his face.

"Yes, Madam. The stars have been awake since. So, maybe now he is sleepy again," Allura replied while nodding a few times.

"Hmmm, does he still like waking up at night?"

"Yes, Madam. But just for a little while, not during the early days of coming here."

This time it was Madam Fika's turn to nod a few times. "Thank God .. maybe he's already starting to feel comfortable here. Yes, take the stars to rest now. After the stars fall asleep, you come again" he ordered.

"Okay, Madam."

Allura left Madam Fika who was still helping Bi Endah to raise her groceries, as it was a break hour, so the maids were in the back pavilion for a while.

Arriving at the room, Allura immediately lashed out the Star. Allura was already very proficient in taking care of the baby. From the beginning, according to Allura taking care of the baby is the most fun thing. Although in fact it is not that easy, but if lived with a roomy heart, it will feel very different.

After the Star fell asleep, Allura lowered it very slowly and carefully. If it was daytime, Allura chose to put the Star in his sleeping box. At night, the stars will sleep with him on the bed. Everything Allura did so that Bintang had regular hours of sleep and it turned out that the method really helped him, Allura to be able to regulate the baby's rest hours.

Do not ask where he got the idea from, because of course Allura got it from google. Added secretly Allura joined a special group babysitting, so she really prepared herself to be able to take care of the Stars.

After finishing putting Bintang to sleep, Allura went back to the kitchen to approach Madam Fika who was still there.

"Has the Star fallen asleep?" madam Fika asked as she looked at Allura who was already standing beside her.

"Here you go, madam." Allura sat herself in an empty seat. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Sure, I need your help to prepare lunch. Today I want to cook, so I ask you to help me," replied Mrs Fika. Indeed, the days usually Madam Fika never directly down to the kitchen to cook.

"Of course, Madam. I'll be happy to help you," responded Allura with vigor.

The girl is most happy to dwell in the kitchen, especially since she works as a baby sitter, she has a lot of free time to be in the kitchen.

In the past, when Ani's mother was still healthy, she and Ani's mother often cooked together, so Allura really missed her moments together with her mother. In fact, they often do not spend time together in the kitchen, even though it is only limited to chatting.

(Is there the same thing as author? Frequently huddle in the kitchen with Mama🤭🤭)

After preparing all the ingredients they will cook, then the fun activities they do together. Madam Fika asked a lot about Allura who is good at cooking, even Arzan to like Allura's cuisine.

"Lura, where did you learn to cook from?" mrs Fika asked as she continued slicing the onion in her hand.

"I only learned from Mama, Madam," replied Allura.

Madam Fika was quite amazed by the girl, as Allura was very skilled in processing herbs as well as playing cookware in her kitchen.

Almost an hour and a half passed, now the cooking event was finished. It wasn't Allura who helped Madam Fika, but the other way around. Madam Fika only helped Allura once in a while.

Allura took advantage of that time to clean her body that felt sticky due to sweat, as well as the smell of food stuck to her body. Fortunately Allura was not the type of person who liked to linger in the bathroom, so the girl did not need a long time.

When Allura came out of the bathroom, she looked at the Star that had started to reopen her eyes. The star several times blinked his round eyes funny, making Allura anxious every time he saw it.

My God, the stars are so cute, inner Allura.

He moved the stars to the bed and played there. Allura also always invited the baby to talk and made the Star move her lips to make Allura's crisp laughter come out of her thin lips.

This afternoon Mrs Fika asked her son and husband to have lunch at home. They were promised a special meal of their own favorite, to make the father and son excited to go home quickly.

"Zan, Papa's in your car, okay?" pinta Tuan Anderson to Arzan who wants to get into the car driven by Mr. Ujang.

"Why, Pa? Tumben once?" asked Arzan while allowing his papa to come with him.

"Nothing, just Papa wanting to come with you."

Arzan mangangguk. The car they were riding also began to drive among the dense traffic during rest hours.

After a long journey, the car finally stopped in the yard of their house. Arzan and Mr. Anderson got out of the car together. They saw that Madam Fika was already waiting for her arrival in the living room.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma," said the two together.

"Wa'alaikum greetings," replied Lady Fika. The middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful immediately approached her son and husband.

"Tumben once Mama asked us for lunch at home, what's up?" asked Arzan who was feeling a little astonished. Because it was unusual, but somehow his heart also thumped a little, as if there was something to talk to him about.

"It's okay, Zan. Papa asked Mama to cook this afternoon," I'm Mr. Anderson who was immediately taken in by Mrs Fika.

Hopefully, Papa does not intend to talk about serious things that concern me, inner Arzan while trying to smile small in front of his parents.

"Yes, let's go to the dinner table, please," asked Madam Fika who immediately disperse the daydreams of Arzan.

The two men of different generations nodded in agreement, their stomachs were also very hungry, especially when they smelled the aroma of cooking that was leaving when entering the dining room, it made the two almost drool.

"Ma, has Allura eaten yet?" asked Arzan before he fed him.

Arzan's question immediately made Mr. Anderson snort annoyed, he did not like his son to pay too much attention to his grandson's milk mother. Arzan himself raised the grunt of the papa, he did not want to continue to follow the wishes of his papa.

"Zan, can't you just start staying away from Allura?" asked Mr. Anderson suddenly.

Compact, Madam Fika and Arzan immediately turned to the middle-aged man who was the leader of the family.

"Why is that, Pa? Didn't we agree not to discuss this?" ask Mrs Fika.

Last night Mr. Anderson apologized and promised not to interfere in his son's affairs again. But now, Mr. Anderson was acting like he had forgotten his own words.

"This is another time, Ma. At the office, Papa received word that Adnan's son had been found."
