Not the Original Owner

50. Soto Two Kinds Of Strange

Morning dawned on the eastern horizon, Nyssa who was asleep woke up from her sleep.

As she looked around, she was on top of her husband's body. Nyssa patted Azmy's cheeks to wake up soon, the time of morning prayers is not much more.

Azmy who felt a pat opened her eyes and released her embrace.

Nyssa rushes to the bathroom to clean up for morning prayers, followed by Azmy trailing behind her. What happened was that Azmy was taken out of the bathroom. Nyssa, who did not want to be bothered, grew increasingly upset at the sight of new marks on her neck and chest. Her husband took a chance while she slept.

Out of the bathroom, Nyssa silences Azmy. Azmy who did not understand, considered it ordinary. After the prayers, Nyssa left him after kissing the back of his hand.

Nyssa forgot for a moment her frustration because her husband would definitely not know if she was upset. He decides to cook in the kitchen, Nyssa wants to eat chicken soto. All the ingredients he has prepared starting from chicken fillet breast, eggs, potatoes, carrots, chives, herbs, but some are lacking. Nyssa called the butler, asking if the materials she needed were in the main mansion. The butler agreed and will deliver him to the residence.

The butler came to bring the materials Nyssa requested, namely, bean sprouts and chum. Nyssa accepts it and starts cooking the soto she wants. Nyssa had cooked rice.

Nyssa prepares the appendages first before making the gravy. Starting from boiling eggs, boiling chicken breast with garlic spices and salt. Soaking the sohun, frying potatoes that have been sliced thinly. Do not forget to fry red onions with added salt and sugar to taste savory and crunchy. Then boil the water to soak the bean sprouts that have been washed clean and boil carrots sliced thin matches. After that fry the chicken breast half dry for suwiran, peel the boiled egg skin, and cut the chives. Nyssa also makes chili, chili and garlic boiled first and blended with added salt to taste. Divided into 2, one of them is given additional soy sauce and a lime feeling and is stirred evenly. Finally make koya powder from fried shrimp crackers added dried fried garlic slices, blended together. The print is complete, Nyssa has prepared two condiments.

The first consists of garlic, onion, turmeric, ginger, laos, candlenut, pepper, coriander, the base of the leeks, the, the previous one has been fried first and mashed with additional cooking oil. Then sauteed with the addition of lemongrass in the geprek, bay leaves and orange leaves, until the seasoning is completely separated from the oil, then put enough water. Nyssa adds salt, sugar, flavoring, chives and waits until it boils.

The second consists of garlic, shallots, ginger, turmeric, pepper, fennel, and the base of the leek which is mashed with additional water. Nyssa sauteed it until fragrant with the addition of cardamom, starfruit, cloves, cinnamon, and chives. Then put in water and add salt, sugar and flavoring.

While waiting for the two sauce to boil, Nyssa arranged 4 bowls and began to arrange the complementary ingredients. Two bowls of sohun, bean sprouts, chicken milk, boiled egg slices, chives, and koya. The other two bowls contain sohun, boiled carrots, stir-fried chicken, boiled egg slices, french fries, and fried onions

After arranging the bowl on the tray, Nyssa saw the sauce was boiling. He tasted it and felt it was fitting, he also added fried onions in each pot so that the smell was more fragrant.

Azmy approaches Nyssa, before she does the sport in the gym. When Nyssa was in front of her, Nyssa retreated by covering her nose and mouth.

"Mother take a shower first, don't come any closer!" nyssa shouted that immediately towards the sink spewing out her entrails.

Azmy did not want to make his little wife suffer more, he rushed up to the bathroom to take a bath. And come down to see Nyssa. He saw Nyssa leaning her head against the dinner table.

"Honey.. How are you doing?" asked Azmy while stroking Nyssa's head.

"Emmm.." Nyssa was still upset, she immediately stood up and prepared food at the dinner table. Arrange rice, sambal, and 4 bowls of soto served 2 bowls in front of Azmy and 2 bowls in front of him.

"Darling.. 2 these bowls are different?" Azmy noticed the difference in the contents in the bowl, but did not know the type of cooking.

"Soto, this is soto Java and this is soto Kalimantan." Azmy never knew there was food like this. But he was silent, afraid that his little wife's mood would change.

Azmy sees Nyssa adding a black sauce to one of the bowls with a bean sprout. And chili red to the bowl with carrots. Azmy follows Nyssa, and begins to eat soto with soy sauce.

While Nyssa ate both bowls of soto without the addition of rice. There was no conversation between the two, they both quietly enjoyed each other's food. After finishing the meal, Nyssa cleaned the cutlery.

Azmy opened her phone, and surfed the internet. Type the name of the food you just ate. Surprisingly, Azmy did not find the food on the internet.

"Maybe Mami knows." Azmy's inner voice immediately sent a text message asking for the name of the food.

Mami Sita's answer, which said she did not know, made Azmy feel even more strange.

"Is it possible that Nyssa created it? Yes, his little wife is good at cooking." Azmy's inner brushed aside his feelings.

Before long, there was an incoming message on Azmy's phone.

"Nyssa's cooking?" ask Mami Sita in her text. Azmy answered yes, and asked if Nyssa could have created it.

"Perhaps darling. When you were in a coma, Mami once ate Nyssa dishes that Mami did not know what food. But it tastes so good, baby. Mami wants to be taught sometime with Nyssa."

Azmy then asks the name of Nyssa's cooking told Mami Sita.

"If Mami doesn't remember wrong, the name is Padang cuisine."

The name of the cuisine is typed on the internet, just like soto. There is no information about the cuisine.

Azmy doesn't want to be so bad to Nyssa. With Nyssa's gastronomy all along, it wasn't impossible for her to make her own recipes.

Nyssa, who does not understand Azmy's thoughts, ignores her husband. He left her alone at the dining table to the room. Besides still being upset, Nyssa's current feelings were uncertain.

The feeling that he had been able to suppress and ignore, was increasingly rippling. As if yelling no Accept with his attitude all along.

He is currently sitting on the balcony of his room. Looking at the overcast sky, Nyssa looked away trying to dig out her memories. If it continues like this, Nyssa is afraid that it will affect the babies in the womb. The dual personality that he had been thinking about, it was not.

According to internet information, multiple personalities are performed without being aware of their actions. Feeling that someone else in him is doing it. And all the opposite actions of personality usually result from the alter ego taking over.

Nyssa is not like that. He felt that there was a part of him that was forgotten. The forgotten part, has its own feelings of reluctance, sadness, disappointment and Nyssa can feel its rejection.

All he felt when he was going to marry Azmy, meaning that what he had to remember was the incident before that day. However, his memory was misty and the memory was cut into pieces. What is clearly remembered is when he cried because he had to be a substitute for his half-sister. The memory after that is like a random puzzle piece that doesn't know where to start.

Nyssa who dissolved in his mind until unconscious, if Azmy had noticed him. Azmy becomes wondering about what his little wife is thinking.
