Hanum looked at Alex and Ane in turn. Without the two of them noticing, their bodies were still close together. Alex held onto Ane's waist, instead the woman's hand was wrapped around her husband's neck.
Hanum walked back towards the large table, then he opened the lunchbox he had prepared since the house earlier this morning.
"Eat first, Mas. It's noon" he said flatly without looking at Alex and Ane.
Hanum calmly, unperturbed by the previous events, arranged box after box of food and prepared cutlery and poured her husband a drink.
Alex moves wanting to get close to Hanum, but is held back because her hand is still blocked by Ane. Alex half forced to let go of Ane's fingers that gripped his arm.
"You want to eat nothing" Hanum told Ane, but still did not want to look at the person.
Ane walked up to the big table following Alex in a jolted step.
Hanum took the rice and side dishes into the dish, then placed them in front of Alex.
"Thank you" said Alex, smiling broadly. He tried to attract Hanum's attention with a smile that was praised by his wife this morning. But he had to swallow the disappointment, because Hanum did not look at him at all.
"Sama-sama," said Hanum flatly still without a smile on his face, and eyes were only fixed on the ranks of the side dishes on the table.
"Please eat, Ane. I'm sorry you took it yourself, because I'm not a waiter here" Hanum told Ane, waiting to be handed a plate like Alex.
The three ate in a silent atmosphere, with no sound and topics being talked about.
Alex glanced at his wife's expressionless face as usual "It's delicious, I like," praised Alex as he pointed to a lunch box containing vegetable stir-fry stir-fry mixed shrimp.
"Tomorrow I make again" said Hanum briefly.
"I can also make it much more delicious than this, Al," Ane said in her potent style.
"good. Then tomorrow it's your turn to cook. Don't forget to make it for three portions" said Hanum. Alex raised his head with a disapproving look. But Hanum doesn't seem to care.
"Alright, tomorrow I cook but sorry only for me and Alex." Ane said defiantly.
"Allll," Ane whined to Alex.
"She's my wife, what she said is true. If you ask me, my answer is better you don't have to come again" said Alex with eyes looking straight at Hanum. Secretly she was very pleased with Hanum's firm attitude of speaking as a wife. But this woman he was looking at, was reluctant to look at him. Hanum just looked straight at Ane.
Ane's lips curled up with Alex's attitude and words, which seemed to not consider herself in the room.
"Well, if you're done eating it, let me clean it up first." Hanum stood up from his seat, then reassembled all the food boxes as before.
The sound of incoming messages on his phone was repeatedly heard from inside Hanum's bag. For a moment he hesitated to leave Alex and Ane alone in the room, but a message from Caroline and Arthur who kept asking where his position was now, made him have to make a decision immediately.
