Zaky
I actually still want to be out of town a little longer. I deliberately slowed down my work rhythm because I did not want to go home quickly and face Carmen and all her efficacious attitude. However, Mama Tara called me and told me that Mama was missing because I didn't go home and look at her.
I had to go home. If my mom says kangen, I have to come. I don't want to make Mama sad because I'm her only child.
I booked a ticket to go home today. I'll be in Jakarta after Maghrib. I'm going to Mama's house for a little while and then I'm going home.
I told Carmen I was going home after Mama's. Carmen seems so happy to hear my return. I feel bad. I didn't expect to come home soon while he was so waiting for me to come home.
Mama hugged me lovingly and she seemed to miss me so much. I'm sorry I made Mama look a little sad. All because I was trying to get away from Carmen.
Mama protested because I looked thinner than before. Obviously I'm skinny, Carmen doesn't take care of me as a wife at all. To eat, we had to buy because he could not cook at all. How miserable is my fate, right?!
"Want you get Carmen? Poor kid has been back and forth several times to his Mama and Mommy's house. Carmen said she was lonely at home alone. You are, out of town duty really long! You don't usually go that long! Just this time you feel so good outside the city!" mama's Protest. I can't hide everything from Mama, she knows everything about me including the little things.
"Many work, Ma!" my reason. "Mama take it easy. I'm out of Mama's house right back."
"Would you eat first? Mama cook it!" I saw the menu that Mama cooked. Looks appetizing. Better I eat than later at home there are only empty plates?!
"You want, Ma. I happen to be hungry." I replied.
"Judah Mama prepare first!"
I finally ate my cooking and went home with a full stomach. Seeing my arrival, Carmen ran over and welcomed me home with a smile on her face.
"Assynnya!"
"Girlwindsalam! Yey, Mas's home!" Carmen salim me and hugged me tightly. It seems to me how much he misses my return.
"How are you doing, Baby?" I took Carmen who was still struggling to get into the house. Shame to be seen by neighbors.
"good. I miss the same Mas Zaky! Very quiet at home there is no Mas" he said spoiled.
I put my suitcase in the living room and sat on the sofa. Carmen is still spoiled. "I'm going to work Baby. I have a lot of work to do outside the city. It's too busy."
I saw a mother come out of the kitchen. The mothers went home and Carmen thanked them.
"Who?!" ask me after the mothers are gone.
"Oh that... One of Mommy's employees who now works at our house to clean up the house. Look at our house right now, tidy isn't it?!" carmen answered proudly.
"Kok you didn't tell me first if you were going to hire people?!" my many.
"Hem... Don't like it?"
"Not like it. At least you tell me."
"Sorry, Mas. I think Mas is very busy because it's this problem I'm handling. I rarely get the same message, Mas, how can I tell you about this?!"
I took a deep breath and then breathed it out. "Easy! Next time you talk to me, okay?!"
I scrunched my forehead. "Would you like to order some food?" askaku.
"Now dong. I'm cooking."
The wrinkle on my forehead must be getting deeper again. "Cooking? Can that?!" I can't believe it.
"Can dong! While Mas was away, I learned to cook with Mommy. Come on, I wash my hands and try my cooking!" Carmen pulled my hand and took me to the dining room. I washed my hands and saw the food on the table. There is soup and fried fish.
"You did it yourself?!" I still can't believe it.
"Yes. Try dong!" Carmen picked up the plate and spooned the rice for me.
"Little bit! It's still full!" I said.
"okay."
I saw food that looked ordinary, did not arouse my appetite at all.
I picked up the side dish and started eating Carmen's cooking with her curious gaze followed. It felt.... Salty...
"Where? Not good?" ask Carmen to know.
"Have you tried yet?" askaku.
"Soyur didn't even have a problem it was still hot. If the fish is." he answered honestly.
"Try it yourself!" I gave Carmen my plate and she tried her cooking.
"Yes Allah... How salty is that?!" Carmen tried again and it must have been the same. "Well... Acidity!"
I don't continue eating. Besides still full also do not want to make my stomach hurt more. "Next time, try it first. What lack, let you know. Try to learn the same Goddess. Your sister-in-law is smart cooking. Even if in my opinion, who should be the child of Mommy Tuh Dewi. Her cooking skills are totally out of your Mommy."
I stood up and went into my room. "I'm gonna take a shower and get some rest. There are still a lot of reports I haven't checked."
I left Carmen who was looking down sad. Let it. Let him realize that his cooking has to be a lot of practice to be good at it.
I went into my room and I saw my room was a little different. The room that was once a mess is now more neat. It must have been Carmen who told me to take care of it. I took a clean towel and went straight into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, I was surprised to find Carmen in my room. I covered the top of my body that was not covered in a towel. "Why did you come into my room?" not saying anyway!
"I made a change of clothes for Mas. I choose something cool and good for sleep. Been done. I went back to my room again. Don't work too late, Mom. Oh yes, I also make warm tea for Mas." Carmen left my room.
I don't believe in any of this. There was already a complete change of clothes that Carmen had prepared. There was a wind what the boy had to change drastically in such a short period of time?
I'm wearing the clothes Carmen prepared and I'm drinking her tea. I continued my work until night and as I was about to fetch some drinking water I saw Carmen in the kitchen.
The boy was opening a notebook and learning to cook. It was 2am and he was still studying. When's sleep?
