Taste and Lust

Chapter 55

As soon as Afia and Hendry managed to get permission from Kirana. Both of them immediately left the house to their rented house. There Afia saw the rented mother waiting for them both.

"It was very quick that we wanted to tell my mother that we were both going to move out of this house" said Afia.

"Loh, why Afia? Are you two not comfortable living there anymore because of the neighbors' talk?" tanyanya pretended, but in reality she was even more happy that the two men finally lifted their feet from their place.

"Not Ma'am, not because of people's talk. We both moved because we found a good place in town. Sorry ma'am if all this time we made a lot of mothers into the material of people's gossip".

"Mmmm, it's okay it's natural. So when did you guys move out of this house?".

"Tonight we're moving in, too".

"Oh.. Deh good.. Akh hahahaha" he laughed shut his mouth at the change in Afia and Hendry's face.

Then Hendry said, "Looks like mom was happy to hear we were leaving this place. Don't worry, we're leaving tonight. Thank you for giving us comfort while we're here".

"Yes" he nodded.

After that Afia and Hendry entered their contract. Not wanting to waste any more time, Hendry helped Afia put all their luggage into the bag so that none of the items were left there.

"Fia yet?" ask Hendry.

"Yes Hend. I don't think there's anything left. Come on!".

"Come on!".

.

And when they arrived in front of the palace of Mapolo's house. With eyes of disbelief, Afia looked at Hendry while asking if the house was really his house or not.

"Hahahaha" laughs Hendry. "Yes this is my house, Fia. Come on in, papa and mama must have been waiting inside" Hendry took Afia's hand to bring her inside.

And sure enough, they immediately saw Abbas and Dina were waiting there with smiles on the faces of the couple.

And again Afia was made to be amazed to see the whole inside of Hendry's house is so very luxurious.

"Oh my God, it felt like I was dreaming to be in this house" Afia said in her heart to the point of not realizing that Dina was calling her name to the point that Hendry made himself aware, "Hhhmmm? Why Hendry?".

"Mama from earlier called you Fia" Hendry replied slightly whispering.

"really? Gosh darn. Please forgive me Auntie" said Afia bowed her head feeling very embarrassed to the couple.

Dina then laughed heartily, though, somehow he suddenly felt dislike to Afia when the child was fascinated to see the splendor of his house and he immediately thought that all this time Afia knew who the real Hendry was but Afia pretended not knowing to get a Hendry's heart. Moreover, he knew that all this time Afia worked in the Mapolo group even though it was only a janitor and of course it was all just Afia theatrics.

"Sorry Aunt sorry om hehehe.. I just couldn't believe that I was in the house of the Mapolo family palace. I can't even stop saying thank you so much for accepting me here".

Dina then laughed a grin at him while looking at Hendry who really sincerely loved Afia.

"Jeez Hendry.. Mom, you know that I'm really hungry" the pleasure of Afia hugging Hendry's right hand made Dina stop her words and made her even more disliked Afia who was really just chasing the wealth of the Mapolo family.

"Yes Fia, in this house you will be free to eat whatever you want. They'll provide it".

"Is it true that Hendry can eat whatever I want?".

"Mmmm, you are free to eat whatever you want. Come on, papa and mama's gone first".

"Come on" Afia was happy that she didn't want to stop smiling so happily that she could finally eat everything she wanted to eat without realizing that someone suddenly disliked her.

then Hendry told Afia to sit next to him and let Afia choose all the dishes served on the table. "Hendry, I want that fried chicken. Can't you?".

"Boleh Fia. Hold on, I'll take it, how much do you want?".

"I want a du.. Just one Hendry" Afia replied as her two eyes met Dina's eyes that were looking at her with a dislike look.

"It's honey. Tumben you want one? You can ask for two if not three".

"Hehehehe.. Put this in your house again, Hendry. There's no way I'm asking for that much, and people in your house are saying I'm greedy" Afia replied a little quietly in Hendry's ear.

"You're just Fia. I've told you that you're free to eat whatever you want" Hendry then put the vegetables on Afia's plate. "You eat a lot well let our baby be healthy".

"Mmmmm" pleased Afia devoured her food without the slightest embarrassment to her mother and father Hendry. "Then Afia glanced at Hendry's plate, the boy was not strong enough to eat since he knew him. While he was already strong enough to eat even since the pregnancy diet Afia every day increased.

"I'm still hungry, but I'm ashamed to ask Hen for more..

"Don't just look at Fia like that".

Hendry who already knew that Afia still wanted to add, but, he immediately scooped the rice on his plate to make the waiter who saw them made to gawk in disbelief with the portion of Afia's food that is really very much at all.

"You want this fish, meat or... Akh" without asking again, Hendry scooped all the side dishes on his plate until piled up to make Afia smile happily. "You can spend it, can't you, baby?".

"Mmmm, I'll spend it. Thank you, Hendry".

Then Hendry saw Abbas who smiled happy to see the portion of Afia eating so much. While Dina, as soon as Hendry looked at him, he also followed pretending to smile happily.

"I'm sorry Pa Ma if the portion of Afia..

"It's okay, Hendry. Papa was much happier to see him eat like this. It means he appreciates all this food".

"Thank you, I'm glad to hear that".

"Yes".

It was different with Dina, he did not like to see greedy women like Afia and Afia really look like a village at all and it made Dina feel annoyed and could not accept Afia as a daughter-in-law huh.

Until now the plate Afia back empty, he smiled happily to Hendry saw his stomach was filled full/feeling full and Hendry also knew it saw from his face only.
