Tian had just opened the door of his apartment when a distinctive scent instantly invaded his sense of smell.
The delicious aroma made the worms in his stomach last filled at two in the afternoon when he and Rudi had lunch at one of the restaurants close to the Mercy Green Resort location immediately protested inside sana.
Moreover, Tian felt lately his body like it often quickly felt tired. Maybe it is because it has been almost a week he did not have time to exercise because of the demands of work that accumulate.
Tian's lethargic footsteps led him to the kitchen and again Tian found Arini, this time stirring something in the frying pan.
Arini's wavy hair was lying up to reveal the neck of his tie making Tian have to bother swallowing his own saliva watching the appearance of Arini's slim body from behind.
Inevitably Tian had to go back to admit, that out of nowhere the sirens in Tian's brain sent a signal of judgment that in Tian's eyes now his wife even looks more sexy from day to day.
Like feeling the aura of someone's presence that is always in his mind, Arini's reflexes look back and sure enough, he found Tian's figure was standing pecking, staring straight at him.
Arini's chest pounded hard to find the figure she secretly waited for every moment, but Arini brushed aside every nervousness of her heart, and replaced it with a smile.
“Home home?” ask Arini lightly.
“Hemm,”
Arini stared for a moment at Tian's tired-looking face. Feeling pity, but he himself realized that he was not able to do anything that could ease the burden along with the pressure of work and the great responsibility that the man before him.
Finally Arini can only lower her face, refocus on her activities.
For a moment only silence existed but Arini realized that Tian was watching his movements.
“Pak Tian, want to try eating this no?” he ventured while staring at Tian for a moment. Keep trying as hard as possible to remove the stiffness that will be created if he does not immediately anticipate it.
Tian was still silent, just staring at the back of the woman who was now draining something there, then put it into a small basin, stirring for a while using a spoon and chopsticks with a mixing motion, and then put it into a small basin, then take her to the dinner table.
Actually Tian wants to say “Iya” or at least nod.
His stomach is also very hungry. But as always, for some reason reluctance always wins the ego fight that is in his heart.
“Pak Tian ... want to try not ..?” Arini asked again.
Honestly in the heart Arini also felt anxious because all this time Tian seemed to never want to accept any form of kindness, especially if it was a matter of food.
‘Like afraid I'd poison it.’
Arini took it in her heart.
“What is ... instant noodles?” doubt Tian opened his voice.
“Iya, this is indeed instant noodles.”
Arini put a small basin of instant noodles that still billow it onto the minimalist dining table.
“And this must be eaten immediately, otherwise the noodles will be mushy and the taste will be unpleasant.”
“Isn't that kind of food not good for health?” tian added.
Arini seemed to think for a moment. “As long as it is not eaten all the time, I think it is okay ..”
“Did you also not know that eating such foods can make your body fat ..?” Tian said again.
“But .. I'm not fat at all ..” kilah Arini reflex palpate her flat stomach.
Tian's eyes glanced at Arini's fingers rubbing his stomach unconsciously, then even imagined the fingers lentik back stroking his checkered stomach ...
‘Haihh..what kind of crazy mind is this?’
Tian suddenly felt his stomach grow strange and even a little bitter, like there were thousands of butterflies chasing in there.
‘Gosh ... why did my mind become this semesum anyway ..?’
Rutuk Tian was inwardly aware of the dirty thoughts that so quickly flashed across his mind.
“I just got home overtime. Now it feels no longer have the power to cook something else to eat, so it only occurs to cook instant noodles ..”
“If you are hungry, then why don't you just eat the noodles ...? disposable offer me everything ..”
After saying so Arini again moved towards the minimalist kitchen, re-light the gas stove deftly and boil again a pack of instant noodles he took from the top shelf whose design is attached to the kitchen wall.
All of his nimble movements none of them escaped Tian's surveillance.
“Pak Tian ..” Arini looked towards Tian immediately.
Tian who was still standing was stunned as he stared at the agile movements of Arini in his kitchen.
“What's up?”
“Pak Tian do not eat instant noodles it well ..”
“Appa?” Tian was slightly stunned with a frowning eyebrow not understanding.
“Mie instant it should not be eaten.” repeat it again while giving code with his face towards instant noodles that are still steaming on the table.
“So you told me to eat. Now instead you say don't ..” Tian.
Arini chuckled, “I mean, Mr. Tian will eat what I just made. I see, Mr..” Arini spoke without stopping her activities.
“Why is it ..?”
Arini did not immediately answer, he had turned off the gas stove, back to doing the same activities as he had done in the first basin, stir and mix instant noodles in the basin using a spoon and chopsticks.
“Because newly created instant noodles will be more delicious to eat directly, than those that have been made a moment ago but not directly eaten.”
Arini explained at length while putting the basin of instant noodles she had just made to the other side of the dining table.
“Come on Mr. Tian, get eaten first. Later if the hunt is soft, so it does not taste good anymore.” said Arini as he circled the table to the other side, and then sat in front of the basin of noodles he had made first.
Doubt Tian finally threw his body on the dining chair. They are now facing each other at the minimalist dining table.
Arini raised her face, making gestures as if to say that Tian should immediately eat the instant noodles that were in front of her.
Slowly and a little doubtfully Tian ended up scooping the instant noodle sauce, tasting it a little.
‘Enak’.
Tian muttered inwardly.
Then start thinking again, when was the last time he ate food like this? it feels like a long time ago.
Tian's hand moved to scoop him up again, this time with a larger dose, blowing slowly before re-entering his mouth, continuing like that.
Arini smiled looking at him, because for the first time he finally managed to make Tian eat something made by both hands even though it was just an instant noodle, Arini's heart was very happy.
Arini chews slowly with a smile, occasionally staring at Tian in front of her, which seems like enjoying the right instant noodles made by Arini.
Arini did not realize that at the same time, although in silence once in a while Tian's eyes actually so often glanced at Arini who was in front of him.
Tian swallowed his smile as he realized that this rare moment could make him feel a coolness flowing gently in the cubicle of his heart, a feeling so simple yet so soothing as to thrill his soul in a unique way, one he had never felt before.
Finally they almost finished their food without a word, only stealing each other's glance, even without each other knowing, before the ringing of Tian's cell phone broke the silence.
Tian who continued to sip the instant noodle soup that had almost reached the bottom of the basin initially looked unconcerned. But apparently the caller seems to be a very persistent person because he does not immediately give up and stop calling even though it has been ignored many– times.
With a look of cold annoyance finally Tian reached into the phone that continuously rang it from his pants pocket.
The man was seen snorting annoyed when he saw a familiar name on the screen of his cellphone.
‘Rico Chandra Wijaya’
“What else? just interrupt..!!”
Tian sounded exasperatedly, as he got up from his seat to take some distance, away from the dining table.

Seriate..
