“Why not eat chef's cooking? You also don't want to eat mommy.” cuisine
Alex just shook his head but did not say a word, he just looked at Dante with his worried eyes.
“Alright, Alex darling. Let's go to the kitchen, how about we cook together. Do you want?” alex happily nodded and agreed with his father's advice.
“But there are conditions!”
“What's daddy?”
“Other times if daddy is at work or not at home and can't make food for you, you have to eat chef's cooking, would you?” talk Dante to his son. The boy thought for a moment before answering his father.
“Hmmmm....” finally after a few seconds Alex even nodded his head.
“Good! That's daddy's son! What do you want to eat, baby?” Dante was always gentle with his son, he always asked first what his son wanted. Dante walked down the stairs leading to the kitchen with Alex in his arms.
“I want smash avocado, smash potato, egg mayo and grilled sausage.” said Alex who wants to eat western food.
“Hem....you want to eat that?”
“Iya daddy!” alex nodded his head.
“Did the waiter not make that to you earlier?” ask Dante again when they're in the kitchen.
“There is but not delicious if not a ripe daddy.” said Alex leaning his head on Dante's boat.
“You're too spoiled Alex! Boys should not be spoiled!”
“So....daddy wants me to how?”.
“When you're five years old daddy wants you to be able to study independently. Tidy up your things, toys and bathe yourself. Learn not to depend on others.”
“Bikin eat too?” ask Alex to be curious.
“Hemm....you have to make your own food if you like it.” replied Dante.
“How to make it? I don't know how to cook?” alex asks and then searches for his father with the question he has in mind. “What daddy will teach me or find a cook teacher?”
“That's easy!” Dante stroked his son's hair. “I'll teach you later when you're older.” Dane talks while sitting Alex in a chair and the chefs in his mansion instantly know that Dante went into the kitchen with Alex.
The waiter always provided Alex with a chair in the kitchen because the boy loved to see his father cook for him.
“Note how I made it. If you make it often then you will know how to make it later after you grow up.”
“I made it myself?”
Dante who was preparing the avocado smah nodded his head and glanced at his son. “When you grow up, you'll make it for me. How?”
Alex is excited to think he will be cooking for his father when he grows up. “When am I big, daddy?”
“Hem...maybe about twelve to fifteen years more.” replied Dante thought then smiled.
“Wah....seems like it's still a long time.”.
Dante nodding. “Still a long time and still plenty of time for you to learn to make this.”Dante spoke while picking up potatoes, boiled eggs then mixing them and adding mayo as a mixture.
“Why are you smiling?” dante asked his smiling son to look at his prepared plate.
“Please promise you'll spend it.” Dante told his son.
“Promise daddy!” Alex nodded his head very enthusiastically. He can't wait to eat his food. Happy boy, his father's cooking is the best.
“Let's eat now.” invite Dante who widens his hand to hold his son with one hand and hold the plate with the other hand.
They both went to the dining table outside the house. Dante looked at his son's adorable face. ‘Thank God there are you who always accompany me here. You have always been my tranquilizer and encouragement.’
Dante feels comfortable when Alex's two tiny hands are coiled around his neck. The boy's smile was bright with eyes that focused on the food in his father's hands.
“Daddy doesn't eat?” alex asked who felt strange looking at the plate there was only one.
“I ate the same meal this morning!” said Dante honestly and then sat Alex in the chair.
“Daddy, are we going to sail?” alex asked again as he looked at the scene where the boy could see out into the open sea and there were a few boats passing by.
“Do you want to sail, baby?” dante Sambl asked to feed his son. He really spoiled Alex.
“Iya daddy. I'm going to get on the boat!” alex answered briefly with sparkling eyes staring out at the sea.
“Bby but I want to hear you play the piano first we just sailed. Will you play piano with me later?”
Alex gives his sweetest smile to his father and then nods. “I learned a new song!” alex wants to tell you what he learned today. But since his vocabulary was still limited he did not know how to pronounce it with a series of sentences.
“Really? You should play it later for me.” Dante is enthusiastic and Alex nods his head enthusiastically while opening his mouth to take a bribe from his father. The boy always wanted to make his father feel proud of him.
“I'm glad to see you like this. You should eat a lot.”
“Are we going to eat steak later tonight?” ask Alex again.
“You want to eat steak like last night?”
Alex replied with a nod. “Daddy, last night daddy made four steaks but we only ate three! One more where?” alex asked while looking at his own hands as if he was counting how many members of his family were.
“I sent one steak to my friend.” replied Dante briefly.
“Friends?”
“Hmmm!” Dante smiled but then held back his smile then looked at his son. “Can't be said to be a friend, but he's a part of me. You could say that he is soulmate.”
Alex did not understand the meaning of his father's sentence, he did not care too much and only focused on the bribes given by his father.
While Dante was unfocused, his thoughts returned to Bella. ‘You are the half of me who has praised other men! Mr. Jeff, even he called the name with friendly sentences and a soft voice!
What's wrong with me, why does my brain always turn that sentence around and remember it over and over again?’ dante was upset when his memory came back to how Bella had said those words. He subconsciously grasped the fork and knife tightly as if he wanted to break it.
“Honey, is there a problem with you?” the voice that appeared in front of him made Dante startled and scattered all the shadows.
“Why are you asking like that, honey? How long have you been here?” dante asked his wife who looked fresh and neat with a sweet smile on her lips.
“Look at you clutching that fork and knife as if they are both your enemies! Does anything disturb your mind until you don't even notice my presence here.” Tatiana replied to Dante and then kissed her husband's forehead and sat between her two favorite men.
“What are you talking about?” tatiana asked as she took a fork and knife from Dante's hand.
