Sofia's morning routine is fast. Finishing the bath, praying and tidying up the room and preparing Nando's needs as if a light job that he could finish was as easy as flicking his finger. The goal is just to hurry to the kitchen to immediately cook his favorite soup. Surely his mind was in a mess, and he needed the aroma of spices in soup sauce to be able to relax a little.
The water gemricik sound was still heard as he decided to exit the room and go straight to the kitchen. The atmosphere was still empty, only Rin was there to prepare a simple breakfast. Nando and Elle did not need a heavy menu at breakfast. They just need milk, bread and jam. Very simple, isn't it?
"Good morning madam." she said with a friendly smile.
"Bik's morning."
"what does she want to cook today?"
"Soup, fried chicken and onion sauce bik. Suddenly I miss the smell of soup" Sofia said, taking the ingredients she needed from the refrigerator.
"Do you need help?"
"i don't think it's bi, it's just simple cooking. I can do it myself."
"But lady..master forbid..."
"From now on let him do anything himself. It's my order!" the sound of baritones echoing filled the kitchen. Bik Rin hurriedly nodded respectfully then fell silent rigidly in his place. That Sofia?the young lady only smiled faintly. So much does Nando hate him that he lets him do all the homework? and just yesterday he gave orders that the servants should not let him work too hard. If only she had been the daughter of a whiny and spoiled conglomerate, perhaps now she would have rebuked and apologized. But she is Sofia, an ordinary farm boy who has been used to living independently and forged the rigors of life. If only doing such a thing was common to him.
Not wanting to think too long, Sofia returned to her busy life after coding the Rin bik who had finished preparing the breakfast menu of the master and little lady to go from there. It was too unbearable for Sofia to see the good-natured waitress quietly waiting for her to cook and feel wronged.
The smell of soup seasoned with spices filled the kitchen. Finished with that, he started frying the chicken that had been covered in turmeric and onions. Only once did he glance at Nando who was coughed up because he was frying the chilli for the chili. The man's face looked reddened due to the sharp smell from the frying pan. After that, Sofia only acts indifferent until the cooking and cleaning event is finished.
As soon as possible he headed for the room, changing into a work shirt. His shoes are not needed today because they will be in charge of the ICU for the next few days. He needs sneakers or flat shoes to ease his steps while working. Sofia approached the dresser and went back to researching her appearance.
"perfect." he muttered with a smile. For the size of a homely and simple woman, her current makeup can be said to be perfect with her natural accent.
As she was going downstairs, Sofia passed by Maria who was holding Elle's small hand to descend.
"Good morning madam." said Maria kindly.
"Good morning to Mary too." Sofia replied no less friendly. His gaze was towards Elle who was putting on a flat face. The boy seemed to see nothing even though in fact he could not see. Maria who knew it was trying to melt the atmosphere.
"How many times have I told you she's not my mama! she's not my mama! She's just a wicked stepmother like a witch." cried Elle loudly to make Nando a little run to them.The face of the man stiffened. He stared at Sofia who remained silent in action. The young woman did not apologize or persuade Elle as she asked, but preferred to remain silent as if justifying Elle's opinion and words.
"Sophia!!" half the emotion. Drawn rough hands of the doctor to grimace in pain.
"Take off Mr Fernando!" his yell did not accept as he shook Nando's strong hand. The grip was released and left a red color there. Sofia approached Elle and crouched down as usual as they interacted.
"Elle. I repeatedly defied the idea of deceiving you, but a woman like me can what son? There's a lot you don't know, but I'm really sorry I cheated you on. Forgive aunt Elle." There was no hesitation or weakness there. Sofia was so firm as if she was a mother who convinced her children who were whining. His gaze looked cynical at Nando, as if to say this man was the most guilty in all of this.
"One more Elle, not all stepmothers are evil. Many of them willingly take care of a child who is not his flesh and blood with sincerity. Aunty can't force you to believe or accept the presence of a stepmother like a aunt. May you always be happy son." a gentle kiss landed on Elle's cheek standing there. Shortly thereafter Sofia walked towards the main door and out from there with her long steps. Both Elle, Nando and Maria were still pensive with their thoughts.
"Mama!!" elle's shout made Nando gain his consciousness. His little daughter was sobbing.
"Papa, bring Sofia's mom back."
"Mama must be back Elle. He just rushed to the hospital because it was time to work."
"But Elle wants Sofia's mom, pa."
"Alright, papa will catch up with him. Elle wait here huh." the little head nodded along with Nando's quick steps towards getting out. She was sure Sofia was still at the gate of the house since it had only been gone for a while. The house was also restricted to a large garden so as not to allow him to get out quickly from there.
"Where's Sofia?" ask the guard at the door.
"Sofia who's the master?"
"Mrs young.My wife is stupid!" maki Nando was upset because of the nervousness that hit him. Stupidly he only realized if this mistake was indeed sourced from himself. He who always covered Sofia's identity by never mentioned her real name. They only know that she's his new wife.
" Mrs has gone, sir. He went that way.” he replied. Without asking much Nando headed to his car and pointed out the fence. He should catch up with Sofia soon. The house he lived in included the Elite area to far from public vehicle access.
He chased every alley, but there was no result. Sofia seems to have disappeared somewhere.
"Surely someone took him, but who? sofia's been there for a few days. Not much he knows." Nando turned his car home. Sofia can't go far because she only carries her briefcase and work clothes. Now that she has to get Elle to eat breakfast, she will come to the hospital to talk to Sofia.
