Chapter 85. Two Women Making Onar

"What are you doing?" ask Alvaro.

Both of them turned their heads, they opened the glass helmet simultaneously while developing a smile, he said,

"While frying fish" he said at the same time.

"Why are you wearing a costume like that? Raincoat, helmet, ck .. ck .. ck ..." Fahri shook his head to see the behavior of his wife and daughter-in-law.

"Mas, this is called PPE, which means personal protective equipment," Arumi emphasized her sentence to tell her husband.

"Yes, still. Mama and Rania why have to use PPE everything, you guys will be in the kitchen" Alvaro chirped inexhaustible.

"Mas, we wear these costumes so as not to be exposed to hot oil splashes. After all, later if my hand or face blisters, Mas chose to look for another woman again," Rania said, saying that his speech led to the incident at school earlier.

A woman's memory is very sharp. In fact, events that are thought to have been forgotten will still be remembered for decades to come.

"Eh, that .. the fish will be charred," said Alvaro trying to shift the topic.

The man approached the wife. Take over the spatula held by Rania, then flip the fish in the frying pan.

"It's ruined." That sentence was thrown on Alvaro's lips when he saw the condition of the fish is very sad, almost formless. A moment later, the man fixed his gaze on the two women behind him in turn.

"Reran, the fish in the skillet is only one but holds a spatula of two" Alvaro said, shaking his head.

The two women also made a scene in the kitchen. Fahri ordered the servants to clean up the mess.

"Mas, but Rania and I want to learn to cook," Arumi said, advancing her lips two centi.

"The two of you did not learn to cook, but almost destroyed the contents of the kitchen," Fahri argued.

Seeing Arumi who began to put on his sour face, made Fahri also approached the wife and tried to persuade the woman who had entered old age.

"Darling, my wife, you will be tired, her body is sick, Mas does not want to fry fish, you why," said Fahri who tried to persuade Arumi gently.

"Now, let the waiters prepare the food" he continued.

Arumi starts walking out of the kitchen with Fahri. Alvaro and Rania are throwing gazes at each other.

"Let's go!" get Alvaro to hold his wife's hand.

Rania pursed her lips, still having time to look back, as if she could not bear to leave her fish in the pan. While his hand, still pulled by Alvaro, moved away from the kitchen.

Alvaro unlocks the helmet worn by Rania. He can see clearly the look of Rania's face that looks sour.

"What's wrong? You're upset because of that problem at school?" ask Alvaro gently.

"Honey, the matter of dating teacher Bima, it was before I met you. Bima asked me to date a lot of women to find a surrogate mother for her."

"After meeting you, Bima no longer forced me to date other women. He encouraged me to keep trying to get your heart" Alvaro explained at length.

"So, you married me also because of Bima, not because of your wishes?" lirih Rania with a stifled voice, Alvaro looked at his wife's eyes that were starting to turn red.

"Gosh, it's just a small matter of her crying," Inner Alvaro.

"No, Honey. That's not true at all. I married you also because of my will, my desire to be by your side at all times. Don't think no, yeah. After all, there is nothing to discuss about the past, everything has passed" said Alvaro wiping his wife's tears that had soaked her cheeks.

Rania nodded her head, receiving an explanation from the husband. Alvaro hugged Rania, rubbing the top of his wife's head gently.

"Here, don't cry anymore. I'm not interested in any woman. Only you, you can make my heart beat every second, only Rania, my wife."

Slowly, Rania began to develop her smile. She loved the sweet words that came out of her husband's mouth. No wonder, Alvaro is very patient and affectionate, it turns out that all is contagious from the nature of his papa.

Although it looks stiff and very firm, but when together with their families behave warmly.

All the families had gathered at the dining table. The aroma of the cuisine is so delicious and very appetizing. The dish is made from servants who are good at cooking. While the fried fish Arumi and Rania cuisine earlier, given to the house guard dog, because the fish is not shaped like a fish anymore.

"Please enjoy, son. This is the cuisine of the people who are reliable, our cuisine was .. given to the house guard dog that is behind because the meat is no longer shaped," Arumi said while chuckling.

"Destroyed by flipping the fish too often" said Fahri.

"Yes ... how else, the name is also just learning to cook," Arumi replied.

"Mama also told Bibi not to add celery to her soup. Now, eat!" arumi offered the son-in-law.

They also ate the lunch with some small talk. Sometimes they laugh when there are bima babbles that invite laughter.

After late afternoon, Alvaro and his small family went home. The three welcome the hands of Arumi and Fahri, experiencing it alternately.

"Let's play here again, son. Do not hesitate, we are family," said Arumi offered Rania.

"Yes, Ma." Rania chimed in by developing her best smile.

"We go home first yes, Ma, Pa," Alvaro said.

"Yes. Be careful on the road, son." Fahri and Arumi spoke simultaneously.

The two couples who entered old age also delivered the return of Alvaro and the others. Until Alvaro's car driven by Alvaro disappeared from view, making the two back into the house while embracing each other.

On the way, the car seemed to be crowded because Bima and Rania were singing together while clapping.

Bima seemed to sound so carefree, as well as Rania who offset Bima while laughing.

Alvaro occasionally glanced towards his wife, and also Bima through the middle rearview. Alvaro is very happy. This is the thing that is anticipated by his son, can laugh cheerfully with his mother even though Rania is only limited to connecting mothers, but the affection shown by the woman is really sincere like a real mother.

The car driven by Alvaro arrived at the apartment. They got off the vehicle. Bima held Rania's hand, once in a while the boy jumped up and down.

"Awas, Son. Later it falls, the floor is slippery," said Rania.

"Ma, Bima tonight slept with my mother, yes" said Bima.

The three men entered the elevator. Rania glanced at Alvaro, smiling meaningfully. As if to code her husband, not to ask for anything tonight.

While the one being stared at just rubbed his nape. His death was delayed again because his wife had to divide the role of a mother.

"Can you, Pa?" Bima looked up at the father who had just fallen silent.

"Yes, Son. You may. But in the future, Bima must sleep in Bima's place, will pity his Teddy bear sleep alone," said Alvaro who makes the big doll Bima as an excuse.

"Good, Papa. Bima wants to sleep with mama for tonight only," said the boy.

The elevator doors opened, and they immediately entered Alvaro's apartment. While the usual apartment was rented by Rania, it was left empty and some of the girl's belongings had also been moved to Alvaro's place.

That night, they slept three, while Bima was in the middle of the two. Bima had fallen asleep as Rania recited a fairy tale to the boy.

While Alvaro, from that moment did not let go of his eyes on his beloved wife.

"The five are asleep?" alvaro asked who did not know because his son was on his back, hugging Rania.

"Yes, Mas. He was asleep" said Rania, patting Bima on the back slowly.

"Mas, ..."

"Hmmm ...." Alvaro chimed in on his wife.

"I want to learn to cook, Mom. Can you teach me?" ask Rania.

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll find another wife who can cook later?" Alvaro Goda.

"That's my excuse, too, Mom. But the main reason is that I want to cook something for you and our son later, Mas. I don't want you to always cook, while that duty should be my responsibility" Rania said.

"Then, we will find a maid," said Alvaro gave advice.

"Mas, my main goal would be to cook for you, for Bima as well. I really can't cook at all, I was too spoiled before until in the end all I can do is cook instant noodles" said Rania.

Alvaro chuckled, his hands outstretched, wiping the top of his wife's head. "Well, I'll teach you how to cook."

"Thank you, Mum." Rania smiled.

Alvaro just nodded his head slowly, "Now we sleep yes, after all it's night."

Rania nodded, slowly closing her eyes. So did Alvaro, so they too dissolved into the dream realm.
