The Widow of the Duda Doctor

Chapter 24 - Dinner Invitation

The night of next week. Tonight Rina gets a dinner invitation from Madam Baskara. Surely it was part of Ayra's plan to get Rina and Ricko to get to know each other more closely.

Actually Rina wanted to decline the dinner invitation because if she went there, she would definitely meet with Ricko's doctor, but because Rina felt bad for Madam Baskara who had kindly invited her, she was forced to accept the invitation.

Tonight Rina looks beautiful and graceful with a simple and closed dress, combined with natural makeup that makes her look more natural beauty. She did not want a flashy performance tonight, considering the invitation she was going to attend was just a regular dinner invitation. Tonight Rina also brought Erika along with her according to Aurora's request.

Arriving at the luxurious mansion, the arrival of Rina and Erika was immediately greeted warmly by the mistress of Baskara, Ayra, and also Aurora. As soon as Erika and Aurora meet, Aurora immediately pulls Erika's hand to enter the mansion. He wanted to show Erika the barbie house that her papa had just bought for her.

"Thank you for taking your time to come here, Rina," said Ms. Baskara. The face of the all-white haired woman looked extremely excited and radiant. "Oh yeah, I've tried to practice some of the recipes in the cookbook, and tonight you have to eat a lot and try everything." Madam Baskara said with a smile on her lips.

"Thank you, Madam. You really don't need to bother," said Rina politely and slightly condolently.

"No, I don't bother at all. Right now I feel so happy that you want to come here with your daughter. That means, my energy has not been wasted because of struggling in the kitchen since the afternoon," said Madam Baskara and then laughed. "And I would be even happier if you and Erika would visit here often" he added, laughing.

"Yes, Aunty Maya's right, Rin. He will definitely be very happy if you want to take your time to visit here often with Erika. Aunty Maya could have a chatter friend and Aurora had a playmate" Ayra added with a smile.

Lady Baskara laughed again at the words of her nephew. "Yes, yeah, yeah. What Ayra said was right. I often feel lonely because I have no friends to talk to. Ricko is busy, Ayra is busy too. If you have free time, I will be very happy if you are willing to visit here," he said again and laughed.

Hearing the words of the two women, Lina laughed with a slight force. This alone he came because he was forced, it was not nice if he had to disappoint people as good as Madam Baskara by refusing dinner invitations from him. It seemed like in the future Rina would have to think of a reasonable reason to subtly reject Madam Baskara's invitation. Not what, Rina just did not want to often meet with the son of the owner of the mansion if she often set foot in that luxurious place.

After chatting pleasantries for a while, the five of them ended up sitting at the dinner table together. Various kinds of delicious food that evokes the taste has been on the dining table. Lady Baskara sat on the top seat, while Rina sat on her right side with Erika, while Ayra and Aurora sat on her left. Seeing the person she wanted to avoid so badly was not there, Lina felt quite relieved. It seems like tonight she will be enjoying Madame Baskara's cooking in peace.

"Taste this food, Rina." Madam Baskara put several pieces of food with different types of cuisine on Rina's plate.

Seeing the mistress Baskara's treatment of her, Rina immediately remembered her late mother-in-law. In the past, when Rina was first brought by Anton to visit the man's parents' residence, Anton's late mother and father also treated her very well, as did Baskara's mistress just now.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Rina, then began to taste Madam Baskara's cooking for the first time. "Em, Madam, your cooking is delicious. How do you cook such good food?" praise Rina. Madam Baskara's cuisine is indeed really delicious, not inferior to the cuisine of the chefs in five-star hotels.

Lina nodded politely as she again forced to laugh. Really he had no intention to learn to cook on Madame Baskara, but how to reject the good intentions of the old woman. Lina was afraid that Madame Baskara would be offended if she refused.

Just as they were just starting their dinner, suddenly the voice of a man appeared from behind Rina. "Sorry, I'm late. Can I join you?"

Everyone looked at me except for Lina. That was because he already knew who was coming. Who else if not Ricko, the youngest son of the owner of the mansion.

"Sit, Rick. We've just started it" Ms. Baskara told her son.

When Ricko was about to sit beside Aurora, Ayra suddenly stood up from her seat and brought her plate towards Ricko. "Sister Ricko, you just sit there, let me sit here."

"Oh, yes, I have. Thank you." Thank you." Ricko smiled at Ayra. There was no rejection from him because that was what he wanted, sitting face to face with the idol of the heart.

"Mom thinks you're overtime, Rick, so we're not waiting for you to have dinner together" Baskara said.

"No, Ma. Today Ricko's work was finished sooner, so Ricko could go home for dinner at home" Ricko replied.

Actually, his work at the company has not really been completed. He deliberately postponed it so that he could come to dinner with Rina.

Throughout their dinner together, Lina continued to focus on the food on her plate. He did not dare to look forward, precisely in Ricko's direction. Meanwhile, the opposite thing was done by Ricko, occasionally he looked at Rina silently while smiling thinly. Apparently it can not be separated from the attention of Madam Baskara.

If I see, it looks like Ricko likes Rina, hm .... Inner mistress Baskara.
