Sharing Love: Loving Myself And Herself

Season 2: Chapter 42

"Mom, what's this called?" tanya Aisyah showed the kitchen spices to her mother, now they are making chicken stew.

"That's called galangal, honey. Let's peel first and then wash it clean, peel it thin yes this skin is very thin not to throw away a lot of contents," explained Khanza, Khanza, he has explained some of the types of spices he has prepared to make the stew, now Khanza is washing chicken that has been cut into small parts.

Hearing her mother's explanation, Aisyah simply nodded and went back to doing what her mother had told her to do while Khanza was preparing her chicken, Aisyah was assigned to provide the seasoning. Sometimes Aisyah will ask if she forgets something that has been explained by her mother and Khanza as a mother by slowly explaining back to her daughter, occasionally he also saw how his daughter was concocting the seasoning he had prepared.

"How, is it done?" ask Khanza who's done with the chicken.

"Already, Mom. Try to check again, I put everything in accordance with Mother's instructions, hopefully nothing is wrong," said Aisyah gave the seasoning has been smoothed on her mother.

"Yes, now stir-fry the spices first," said Khanza handed back cooking all that to Aisyah.

Aisyah eagerly did everything, although she was a little afraid when exposed to the splash of oil. However, Khanza continued to encourage him if he could and someday he would get used to using kitchen tools. Make Aisyah go back to cooking.

One by one the spices were put in the pan while stirring it, Khanza only noticed how his daughter did it. He was proud even though he first cooked, but his daughter had done it skillfully, of course under his direction.

"Is this ripe, Mom?" ask Aisyah after all the herbs have been put in and stirred on a hot pan.

"Yes, this is already fragrant. Now put the chicken in and add a little water then we just wait until the chicken is tender, close the dish," explained Khanza again make Aisyah nod and do back according to her mother's instructions, while waiting they returned to make another dish.

After struggling for some time in the kitchen finally some portion of the food menu and the main menu is the chicken opor made by Aisyah.

"Yes already, here you rest the rest let mother and Aunt do it, later if your father and brother have come mother will call you back to arrange it on the table huh?" khanza said making Aisyah even just nod. He was very sultry, his clothes already smelled of spices even though it was fun cooking together with his mother. However, the fatigue of standing for almost a few hours makes his legs feel sore. He went into his room, immediately undressed and filled his bathtub, he wanted to soak to relax his body.

He wants to soak in fragrant water, remove the smell of spices that feel pungent in his body.

"Geez, I was gonna make a cake for the gods. I haven't even bought the ingredients yet, why did I forget," muttered Aisyah who forgot to buy the ingredients to make the cake to be given to the Gods, she was too fond of cooking to forget about it.

Aisyah grabbed her phone which was placed on the top then she quickly asked auntie to buy the materials she had written in the message.

"Well, auntie's gonna buy it. Incidentally aunt also wanted to go out to buy some kitchen necessities," replied Aisyah's reply.

"Thank you, Bi. Sorry to bother you," said Aisyah again reply to aunty's message, even though the aunt is only a housekeeper at her home. However, Khanza always taught her children to respect them, Aisyah considers all the household assistants in her house are like her family, they have worked there since she was a child to adulthood. They're very familiar. However, still the housekeepers know their work and keep their limits on their employers.

Aisyah who was finished with her bath immediately put on her clothes and walked out to her mother who was relaxing in the living room.

"They're already on the street," Khanza replied staring at his daughter.

Lazily Aisyah sat down beside her mother. "Mom, Lucia's sister staying here anyway? He has been rejected by Azriel, shamelessly still hoping. If I were him I would have gone straight home with my mother, chasing after the love of those who don't love us, not to mention that she already knows that Azriel loves someone, loving Brother Mentari, why is he still stubborn to be the third person in the relationship of brother Azriel and sister Mentari."

"Mother doesn't know either, everyone has their own thoughts. As long as Lucia doesn't cause any trouble, it's fine that she's staying here, just let her try to break your sister's heart."

"Did you bless them, Mom? Believe in Aisyah if Mentari's sister is much better than Lucia's sister."

"You can't judge someone and compare them like that, even if in your eyes Mentari's sister is better than Lucia's, you can't say that either. Pity Lucia if she hears it, just let your brother who chooses us follow what your sister's choice, would choose Mentari or Lucia."

"But right, Mom. I can't tell my sister Lucia to find a man who fits her character. Brother Azriel is too good for someone sister Lucia whose association is free."

"You know how you know Lucia's character and why do you say she has promiscuity?" khanza pinched his daughter's cheek.

I want Aisyah to say what she experienced with Lucia at the nightclub. However, he still held her, he did not want if until his mother was worried and angry with Lucia, he had also avoided the problem and would no longer go with Lucia.

"I'm sure, Mom. If Lucia's brother and Azriel's brother are with them, too, not happy because of their opposite characters, I'm sure Lucia's sister only likes Azriel because Azriel's brother is handsome, he doesn't know Azriel's sister doesn't like rough women like Lucia's sister."

Khanza smiled at his daughter, he felt the same way, he would not allow them to be together. However, he will also not forbid Lucia to approach his son, Khanza believes if his son knows how to reject Lucia without hurting his feelings. Their family relationships are pretty close, however. Khanza gave up and believed in his son if his son was able to cope with everything.

When the magribs Abidzar and Azriel and Lucia came, Khanza went to her husband and they went to their rooms, and Azriel and Lucia went to their rooms. They both cleaned up and just regrouped on the floor that time they were going to dinner.

After performing the magrib prayer, Khanza and Aisyah had prepared dinner for all of them, as they had all gathered at the dinner table and began to take their food to their plates, Khanza explained that today the cuisine made by Aisyah and Aisyah immediately received praise from Azriel once they had tasted the dishes served at the dinner table. Abizar also praised his son's cooking.

"This chicken opor made Aisyah too huh, Auntie?" asked Lucia after sighing and tasting her.

"Yes, that's my cooking. Why, Brother?" aisyah asked in a tone of speech that did not like Lucia's words. From the tone of Lucia's words and breath before asking that, Lucia was clear if she again wanted to protest the cuisine she had tasted. Aisyah can guess if Lucia doesn't like her cooking.

"No papa, I'm full. I went to the room first," said Lucia who did not finish her meal and immediately stood away from the dining table making Aisyah look at Lucia who had walked up the stairs, he swung his lips and threatened to throw a spoon at the woman who had been considered like his biological brother, but it seemed that the assumption would not be pinned again on the figure of Lucia, who was a child, but it looks like they will start to become enemies.

'Look at it later, I will repay you I will make sure you will fire when you see Brother Azriel with brother Mentari, look at it later, ' Aisyah muttered in her heart.

"Here you eat" Khanza said, looking at the expression of the three looking at Lucia who had disappeared from their sight.
