The food Dareen makes today is simple. Just preparing the main meal is pasta. For his son, Dareen prepared cheese sauce pasta with a meatball. For Azraell who likes spicy food, Dareen prepared a paste of chili sauce with shrimp and asparagus pieces. As for him, just make a paste of mushroom broth and complete it with fish cakes he bought supermasked along with other ingredients.
In addition, Dareen also prepares other complementary foods such as vegetable tempura, chicken seasoning suir, salad and also tofu stew and carrots as well as lettuce.
Housed himself in a chair at the dinner table, Azraell even still had a water bulb at the ends of his hair after taking a bath. Not because he was lazy, but because Azrael was too hungry. He only took his breakfast where his lover used bread and jam, and did not even have time to eat lunch because he had to accompany Eri disalon and shop until the afternoon. Azraell was really hungry now.
And the food in front of him made his stomach cringe.
Glancing at Aileen, Azraell had a slight amused smile. "It seems Aileen was already so hungry that her saliva dripped like that."
Hearing Azraell's statement, Aileen made a huge gesture of wiping away the drool on her lips and glared at Azraell, "I don't! It was papa who was already so hungry that his stomach rang and his saliva dripped!"
"Haha, okay. Let's just start eating it," he said, leading others to start their meal.
Seeing Aileen immediately grabbing the fork and making a huge gesture of bribing the rice into her mouth, Azraell and Dareen followed her. Inserting a mouthful of pasta into his mouth, a warm, soft and supple feeling in his mouth made Azraell unable to stop the chewing movement. Besides being hungry, honestly or not Dareen cuisine is indeed so delicious.
In the past, Azrell recalled that the first Dareen dish he ate was mashed potatoes with black pepper chicken. At that time, Azraell who initially had no appetite, could spend a plate full of mashed potatoes and black pepper chicken made by Dareen. Since then, Azraell has tended to eat home-cooked meals rather than buy outside food.
What about her boyfriend Eri? As a girl who has dreamed of becoming a model for a long time, the girl certainly never came into contact with the kitchen. For the sake of maintaining her body, Eri never even boiled water, let alone cooked. After all, for the 24-year-old woman, not good at cooking is not a problem because she has a personal chef at home.
Although unable to cook, it does not diminish Azraell's affection and love for Eri.
Recalling something, Azraell opened her lips. "By the way how did Aileen look today? Papa heard that Aileen was on stage, didn't she?"
Hearing that, Aileen immediately retaliated with great enthusiasm. "Of course, pa! Aileen sang in front of a lot of people very well. Mama even to the point of crying and hugging Aileen very tight~"
"Papa Azra knows too? The school also offers games for parents and children. Mama and papa Aileen's friends also come along. While playing make-up games, mom made dad Lyon's face like cake dough because it was so white!"
"Are you right, ma?" Ask Aileen.
Dareen's face flushed a little considering the embarrassing thing earlier at school. After all, despite apologizing, Dareen remained embarrassed as he remembered.
Dareen nodded helplessly, "Yes dear."
Listening to Aileen's speech, Azrael raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the word "Father of Lyon." Could it be Dareen's lover or Aileen's biological father?
Well, but despite being a little curious about him, Azraell did not ask either. After all, it has nothing to do with him. Be it Aileen's biological father or Dareen's lover, or even Dareen's former stepfather or ex-husband, Azraell doesn't care. However, in their contract marriage agreement, for these 2 years they should not interfere in their respective relationships. She's with her lover Eri, and let Dareen take care of her own personal life.
At least, despite hearing something that should be asked by married couples in general, they both acted as if there was nothing wrong behind Aileen's remarks about "Father of Lyon".
...***...
Sitting on his big bench, Dareen wore a white long-sleeved shirt suit with black trousers to occasionally justify the location of his work glasses when looking at and checking work reports from departments in his company. There was a cup of coffee that was no longer hot next to him, indicating that Dareen had been in the room long enough.
"Reen?" The call made Dareen who was focused on her work turn her head and found a young man standing on the doorstep of her room.
A moment of surprise, Dareen stood up and made the man step towards her. "Sister Elnos?" Ask Dareen to him.
Elnos Williams Parvaita is a close cousin of Dareen. He is 27 years old and the eldest son of his uncle, Dianson Williams Parvaita. His grandfather and grandmother had three children. The second son is his father and the third son is his aunt.
The first son was his uncle. His uncle married and had his first child, Elnos. Her uncle's second child, Riana Seline Williams Parvaita, is now 21 years old. After marriage, Elnos moved and settled in Japan with his wife who is of Japanese descent living there. And has a 4-year-old after moving to Japan for 4 years. While his uncle with his wife and Riana live in Los Angeles to take care of the culinary business there.
Seeing the arrival of his cousin's brother, Dareen was a little confused. But Elnos immediately understood Dareen's confusion and replied, "At the end of Grandma's birthday, you remember?"
Feeling like he had forgotten something very important, Dareen massaged his forehead and said helplessly. "I almost forgot my grandmother's birthday. When's brother coming back?"
"Yesterday night, I want to let you know. But come to think of it, it's better to surprise you." Elnos said as he sat across the table from Dareen.
Dareen sat himself in his own lap, reviewed his smile and asked again. "Aren't you here with Yusa's sister?"
Elnos nodded, "I also invited Isha."
"By the way, when will Uncle Ason and Aunt Cass be coming?" Ask again.
"It looks like papa until tomorrow. For Aunt Cass maybe the day after tomorrow, because I have to wait for Uncle Gerald to finish his job." Elnos' reply made Dareen nod his head in understanding.
"Congratulations, congratulations on your wedding. I'm sorry I couldn't congratulate you in person at the time because I was being hunted by editors to finish the latest script." The word Elnos really harbors guilt.
Of course, he was busy, so busy at that time that he did not even have time to attend his cousin's wedding. Despite giving her a gift, she felt a bit guilty and regretful about not being able to attend.
Dareen understood, "It's okay brother. Importantly, Brother Elnos must take the time to accompany Riana at her wedding later. No matter how busy Elnos was, because he was Elnos' brother. Understood, huh?"
"Haha, alright~ I understand, Reen." Elnos.
"Lusa, on my grandmother's birthday, invite your husband to come." Elnos.
"Um, I'll try to ask Azra too brother. I also feel bad interfering with his work, he's been very busy lately." Dareen said calmly.
Elnos looked at him and smiled, "Then make sure to take Aileen with you. I haven't seen my cute niece in a long time. He's healthy, right?"
Dareen nodded and smiled. Chatting with Elnos for some time, Elnos looked at his watch and stood up to say goodbye.
"It's been interrupting your work for too long Reen. I'll be back, don't forget grandma's gift should be perfect~" he said.
"Not bothering you, what is the definition of a perfect gift anyway?"
Elnos. "Forget it, have you gone home yet?"
Hearing Elnos' question, Dareen did not say a word, which made the room quiet. Seeing Dareen's composure, Elnos sighed and put on a gentle smile and gave an older brother advice.
"Anyway, you have to go home to Reen."
Not getting a response, Elnos sighed silently and returned to his voice, "Then I leave, Reen."
After the door of the room closed, Dareen lowered his head and spoke faintly in the middle of the quiet room.
"But it's too painful."
