Sincerity of Love JONATHAN

138. Toast

'I know, actually .. if you love me too. But ... I think I'd like to hear it in person, too, Yang. Am I wrong?' inner Joe with a wistful.

A few minutes later, Joe closed his eyes. Syifa had no reaction at all. In fact, Joe really hopes that the woman can express her heart without shame.

But suddenly, a hug landed from behind. This left Joe's eyes open again and blinked a few times.

'Is Syifa holding me?' Joe's heart was beating fast. With a smile he carved at the corner of his lips. 'Will Syifa soon say; "Yes, I love Aa too?" his mind is hopeful.

Joe froze in his position, still rubbing his eyes. Still waiting for a response from Syifa.

But in fact, the next dimenit at all he did not get a response. Even—Joe heard a smooth snoring sound. Also the sound of breathing that hit his right ear.

He turned around, facing Syifa. A sense of disappointment was immediately reflected clearly on his face, because he found his wife had closed her eyes.

And it can be ascertained, if he has already fallen asleep in the dream realm.

"Thou art, Yang, when I said .. don't go to sleep before saying that you love me. But you're sleeping. Tega ...," he lamented sadly. But Joe hugged his wife and kissed her forehead. "When, why, anyway, wear all-embarrassing events? I said love is the same as my husband. Except for people's husbands" he added with a snort.

Next day.

"Daddy ... Today we otewe return to Indonesia, right? Robert was very upset with Opa Hamdan and Oma Maryam ..," said Robert who sat on the mattress while combing his hair, after bathing and was dressed neatly.

With black and white short-sleeved shirt and denim-colored long jeans.

While Joe, he has also taken a shower and put on clothes. And now he's busy looking for a tie in his closet drawer, to match the color with the suit he wears.

"Why rush home? Though Daddy had plans today to take you and Mommy to the beach."

"No ah, Dad, no" Robert refused. Actually just want to, play to the beach and spend three more time. It's just that—Robert is worried if later Yumna comes to visit. He wouldn't, if Joe and Yumna met often. Fear will make Syifa hurt. "Main to the beach fitting us to Indonesia only, Dad. Lagian ... The beach is the same, right?"

"But it's a different atmosphere."

"No. Robert wants to go home," pinta Robert who looks stingy. "When we go to Korea again, right, same Mommy. So next we go to the beach in Korea, Dad. Robert had not been to school for a long time, afraid he might miss a lesson."

"Oh yes, yes already then," replied Joe Nurut.

Ceklek~

The door of the room was opened, and Syifa entered with a red-brick robe and a black hood. He had also taken a bath, even earlier than the two different men of that generation.

"Have you taken a shower, son?" asked Syifa who approached her son, then smiled and rubbed her cheeks.

"Udah." Robert nodded. "Mommy from where? How did Robert finish his shower?"

"Mommy went to the kitchen first. Make milk and coffee for you and Daddy. Mommy also had time to make toast as well, for us breakfast. You're doyan, aren't you?"

"Doyan!" robert looks like a sumringah. He got off the bed and hugged Syifa. "It must be good, Mommy's toast. Robert couldn't wait to taste it."

"It's normal, son, it feels. The ordinary toast man. Mommy can't cook."

Syifa had the intention to make porridge, just did not know the favorite recipe of Joe and Robert. Wanted to ask Mami Yeri, but it wasn't good because she hadn't left the room.

While wanting to ask Aunt the maid, the woman was also not in the kitchen earlier. So Syifa struggled alone.

"You'll always look special, if Mommy makes it," Robert replied praising, he pulled Syifa's hand. Then take her step together.

"Eh ... Aa find what?" Syifa stopped her steps, following Robert's footsteps. Because he saw Joe was still busy with his closet drawer. "A ..," call Syifa again, because there is no law. He also stepped forward to approach Joe with the child.

"Here, let me help you put it on, A," bargained Syifa who immediately grabbed the tie. But Joe immediately brushed it off and shook his head.

"No need, Yang, it can be me, myself" rejected Joe who sounded flat. He faced to his right side, then quickly put on a tie.

'Tumben Aa nolak?' inner Syifa who looks surprised by Joe's attitude.

"Udah, let's have breakfast," asked Joe who already looked neat. He looked in the mirror first to see his handsome face, then stepped out of the room first.

'Lho, what's the tumben?' Syifa was again astonished. Because usually— wherever he goes together, the man must always embrace his shoulder with a friendly. But different from now.

What happened to Joe?

'Any ... What happened to Aa? Did he forget, embrace my shoulder? Or is it intentionally?' his mind is full of questions.

In the dining room, Syifa immediately put one by one toast on his plate, Robert's plate and the last was Joe. He also opened a cover of pineapple jam, nuts, strawberries, blueberries and chocolate.

Joe immediately took the pineapple jam, then smeared his own bread. Syifa took Robert's bread, intending to grease it.

"What jam do you want, son?" ask Syifa.

"Strawberry, Mom," replied Robert in a show. It looks like, if the mood of the boy is very good this morning.

"Okay, dear," replied Syifa and directly smeared the bread.

"Have you guys breakfast, huh? How is morning really? It's not 5 o'clock?" Mami Yeri arrived in the dining room still wearing a nightgown. He looked astonished, seeing his son-in-law, grandchildren and children who were about to start breakfast.

For him, 5 o'clock is too early for breakfast. Because usually, Mami Yeri always breakfast is jam 6. Late at 8.

"Yes, Mi" said Syifa as she looked at Mami Yeri. "August, Mi. Mami if you want to take breakfast ayok .. I make the toast happen to be a bit much," he added kindly.

"Oh .. So you made the toast?" Mami Yeri gazed heartlessly at the 7 slices of bread on a large plate on the table. Why can it be said not tasteful, because in terms of color that is rather black, like a charred and that is the cause.

"It looks like you can't cook, yeah, Fa. And when did you give breakfast to a barbecue bun for Mami's children and grandchildren? Where's nutritious!" the sneer of Mami Yeri who immediately took a plate of some toast, also took the one that was already in Joe's hands. Though it looks like his son was about to bite him, but eventually not so because the hunt was captured. "You can't eat this toast, let Auntie make her breakfast. It's just thrown away" he added, then passed to the kitchen.

"Don't!" Robert and Joe called out simultaneously. In a hurry, Joe stands up and chases after Mami Yeri. Before the toast was thrown away. Because he had glanced at Syifa, and a hue of sadness was clearly drawn on his face. "Mi .. don't do it!" prevent Joe by swiftly taking the plate in the hands of Mami Yeri.

"Well, do you eat burnt bread? Is it not bitter? It's not good for health either, Joe!" mami Yeri's nagging looks angry. He is the kind of person who is critical about food.

"The name of toast is like this, Mi. This is not a charade," replied Joe defending. He turned around, then stepped. But back, the plate was snatched by Mami Yeri.

"You're as blind as you are, huh? This black bread is still said not to be burnt? Has what you and Robert have been eating always been a scorch? Syifa cooks food that ...." Mami Yeri's nagging instantly came to a halt, upon hearing the sound of the bell ringing.

Ting, keg!

Ting, keg!

Immediately, Mami Yeri ran to the main door of her house with a plate filled with toast.

Joe also ran after him, wanting to take the bread in his hand.

Ceklek~

The main door of the house was slowly opened by Mami Yeri, and suddenly she sparkled when she saw it was Yumna who came.

"Eh Yumna, how come you come here so early in the morning? Want what?" mami Yeri asked with a smile. He also immediately approached the woman and made a splash.

"For Brother Joe, Aunt Yumna," said Yumna who looked at Joe while winking her eyes flirtatiously. "I happen to make a lot of toast. Intentional indeed because to be escorted here and at the same time join breakfast together. You guys haven't had breakfast, have you?" he added then while pulling down the plastic bushel that he had been holding since.

...Rivals come, where to make toast again 🤣🤣...
