"Had to be a fool, liked his instant noodles" Dave grumbled inwardly. He had already lit the stove and boiled water in a small pot while he picked up instant noodles from inside the drawer and opened the refrigerator to look for something.
"Young Master, would you like to eat something...?" One of the three Servants who were in the kitchen came forward a little and asked Dave, thinking his Young Master wanted to eat something until he had to make it himself.
"No." he answered briefly while closing the refrigerator door after taking some vegetables and eggs from inside her.
Actually the waiter was about to ask further, because he saw his Young Master was starting to wear a clean apron that is always available in the kitchen set drawer, which is always available, but seeing Dave's deep-seated face and visibly angry, he undoes his intentions.
"Me and the others are in the Dining Room to clear the table, the Young Master can call us if he needs something." he bowed respectfully.
Dave just cleared his throat without looking at him, making the waiter look at each other with his two colleagues in the back, before then retreating to the dining room next to the kitchen exactly.
Dave began to open 1 pack of soto-flavored instant noodles and put them in a small pot with his boiling water earlier, not just one stew, but also one, Dave boiled the noodles twice by changing the water.
And once it looks half-baked noodles, he immediately threw away the boiled water and set aside the noodles. Deftly he began slicing onions, shallots and cayenne pepper which he took from the refrigerator.
He also cut the meatballs he took from the refrigerator along with the seasonings he had previously cut, and split them in half. Further by cutting broccoli and also tomatoes as well as some white mustard sheets, which are actually just a remnant of the ingredients of today's cuisine.
"God...Young Master cooks..." The female servant who smelled the fragrant smell of the onion, onion and chili peeked silently.
"I just found out that Young Master can cook." whispered the other Servant.
"Sir.kunny Young Master when cooking like this." The third waiter noticed Dave who was giving a glass of water to his stir fry, creating a loud noise as the hot oil mixed in.
Dave had absolutely no idea that he was being noticed by the three female servants who were peeping at him silently from a distance. He is still busy putting pieces of broccoli, meatballs and mustard white into his boiling stir fry while continuing to stir it, making the whole kitchen smell the fragrance of the sauteed seasoning.
When they were cool to see Dave who put the noodles that had been drained earlier into a boiling sauce, a woman's delicate voice sounded.
"What are you guys doing..?" said it.
The three maids cheered in shock, as they looked back, Marisa had been standing right behind those who were peeking.
"Mrs is home..??" ask one of them nervously.
Marisa who had just returned from driving Kiandra to school no longer asked her three female servants, as she smelled the sweet smell of cooking, and from a distance she saw the figure of Dave who was cooking.
"Sorry Madam...We're..."
Marisa put her index finger on her lips with her eyes still looking out at Dave from a distance. "Go away." said he slowly, who immediately all three left the kitchen room.
Dave had just turned off the stove and put tomatoes in the noodles and sauce that was still boiling, then opened the instant noodle seasoning and put it in the bowl.
Pour the noodles and gravy into the bowl, then stir until all the flavorful spices soto mixed.
Just one less, and Dave doesn't know where he put it. He opened all the drawers and examined all the glass containers that lined it, but he could not find what he was looking for.
"Dave."
Call Marisa, make Dave a little surprised and turn to the 43-year-old woman who turned out to have stood not far from her.
Dave was just about to open his mouth, when the woman who became his stepmother again said.
"You can cook...?" he asked as if in disbelief.
Dave's face immediately met red, he was embarrassed."...No...eh.i, yes..a little." she replied with a bow.
Marisa smiled widely, her hands outstretched holding the cheeks of the man who was soon 20 years old. "If so, why the shame...??" it says.
Dave, whose face had been lifted, could now see the eyes of his stepmother who glazed as she looked at him, making Dave misbehave.
"Ah, i.y." Dave answered. He was always touched when the woman who became the third person in his family looked at him. "...I looked for fried shallots." he said, which immediately made Marisa swiftly open the drawer in the corner.
"It's here." The woman took a plastic jar containing slices of red onion that had been fried, then gave it to her son.
"Thank you." said Dave slowly as he accepted.
Marisa was still smiling with a face that somehow looked haru when she noticed Dave who was opening the lid of the plastic jar and took a little fried onion, and sprinkled it over her boiled noodles.
"Didn't you fit the cooking in this house, Dave..?" Marisa asked slowly while smiling fondly towards her.
"Ah, no. That's not it, ma'am.don't get me wrong." Dave looked briefly at his stepmother who was still looking at him, before then he looked down again, avoiding the gaze of his stepmother's eyes to be exact. "...I heard Kirana was sick, and she didn't want to eat..." Disconnected Dave said, he was embarrassed to be caught cooking, what else was it for Kirana.
"Did you cook Kirana...??" marisa's eyes were round in disbelief.
Dave still lowered his head and bit his lips. "I, yeah.I heard he likes instant noodles so.so I.." he felt bad.
"Then deliver it." said Marisa like understand if Dave had been hiding his shyness behind his calm and mature attitude.
"Ah, no..Just mom..."
"Kirana would be very happy if you knew that you would even bother cooking for her." she cut her stepmother down with a smile.
"But..."
"Kirana is not going to talk to Mom, nor to your Daddy." Marisa said with a clear face, before Dave finished his sentence.
Dave was speechless to hear it, he remembered his words to Kirana about her mother who raped their Daddy, pregnant and forced them to marry.
"...Well, ma'am, I'll take this to Kirana's room first." Dave finally said after a moment of silence.
"Who said that...??" Jonathan's forehead wrinkled.
Kirana was crying as she wiped her tears over and over again, she did not want to cry in front of Jonathan but at this moment her feelings were completely erratic, her heart was so hurt because of Dave's words the other day.
"I'm gonna ask you, if I wasn't the kid you wanted...?" Kirana looked at Jonathan irritated with her eyes and nose reddened from crying."Why did you ask me back..?" throw him a pillow towards the narrow-eyed man with his straight hair.
"I'm worried you're hurting people ." Jonathan swiftly caught the pillow that Kirana had lemared towards him.
"What if I hurt people..? I hate you !" Kirana's face turned red and looked annoyed.
"Why are you angry at me...?" Jonathan doesn't understand.
Irritatedly Kirana throws her jumbo-sized pucca doll at the man sitting on the edge of her bed, "The shop I'm angry, I hate all the men around me !" said it.
Back Jonathan seized the puppet pucca jumbo gave first to Kirana, he kasian with Kirana who was sick and had to be infused, but secretly he was also amused to see the face of the long-haired girl who was draped in her back and wearing white pajamas motif pucca and Garu.
Because with an annoyed face, a red nose that many times in the owner's wipe, Kirana's face looks beautiful, funny and worrisome. To the extent that Jonathan is eager to pinch the two cheeks of the girl who always bloated if the angry.
Near the open door, Dave carries a tray of noodle soup bowls that may have warmed up, hurting it all.
