Zalfa's smile did not fade despite the bad reception from Elijah. Zalfa's gaze was fixed on the floor just below the feet of the study table, perched in a small bowl with carved flowers.
Zalfa recalled, he once made a soup that he had left at the dinner table. Then the soup in the bowl disappeared after he stayed for a while watering the flowers in the garden. Hm. This is the answer. Zalfa's lips were interested in forming a wide smile. The dirty bowl is even dry due to being put there for too long. Naturally Ma'am Yen did not lift the bowl from Elijah's room, because Elijah did not want his room cleaned by others, Elijah cleaned his own room without anyone's help. He doesn't want anyone to touch his belongings.
“Come on, eat together! I'm sure you'll get hooked while enjoying mini mala side dishes. Among the ten customers in my cafe, all ten said they liked my cooking. Of course you will also like it,” persuaded Zalfa still with a smile.
“No! I said no! Out there! I'm disgusted by your cooking?”
Zalfa looked down and picked up the dirty bowl. “Come on, you will definitely spend the food just as you spend this sop.” Zalfa sauntered out carrying the bowl.
Zalfa could see Elijah's red face that felt like he had a matt check through the corner of his eye. The little girl just kept quiet and now looked down.
Zalfa stopped when he got to the door. He turned his head then said, “Beautiful girl, why are you this angry with me?”
Elijah raised his face, looking a little reluctant to look at Zalfa's face. “You still ask? Look Arkhan's brother is getting away from me now. She hated me. He's gotten rid of me. It's all because of you.”
Zalfa smiled faintly. “Arkhan did that to you, then why are you mad at me? Have I not been kind to you all this time? Congratulations, you won the painting race. I'm proud. You are amazing. Continue your achievements, and keep your spirits up, well!” Zalfa then walked away. He went to the dining table and sat down by Arkhan's side. He looked at Arkhan and Maria who had not started dinner. They seem to be waiting.
“Sorry, kind of long,” said Zalfa feeling guilty has made them wait a bit long.
“You did not manage to persuade Elijah to sit here?” arkhan asked as he picked up the food and placed it on his plate.
Maria also started to cook the food.
“He may not be hungry yet.” Zalfa tried to cover up Elijah's anger.
“Leave it first. He will be good on his own when he needs money,” Arkhan said.
Arkhan smiled faintly.
“Why smile? You consider this a joke,” said Zalfa while chewing the food he had taken.
“I'm used to it,” Arkhan replied.
Zalfa looked at Maria. “Mama, what do you think of Mama? Elijah has been angry with us since yesterday. Until now not good either.”
“Towards you, Zalfa. I'm sure you can handle the boy,” Maria replied calmly.
Zalfa was stunned to hear Maria's reply. Her parents fully believed her.
“That makes you very delicious. I like it.” Maria seemed to be enjoying the food. He then finished his meal by eating fruit. Then leave the raung to eat.
Arkhan placed the spoon and fork onto the empty plate. He's done eating.
Zalfa turned towards Arkhan who sauntered away. He hurriedly finished eating with a sip of mineral water. His steps towards the vestibule followed the scent of Arkhan's familiar body.
Arkhan's car sped out of the garage, across the gate.
Arkhan's gone. Zalfa.
