Calvin saw a variety of dishes that even though it looks simple but very appetizing. He is not a picky type of food. Even if arguably, he prefers home-cooked food over restaurant cuisine. But because of Anastasia's lifestyle, she inevitably follows her lifestyle and diet. Anastasia really does not like home cooking. He did not even want to go to an ordinary restaurant. Must be a fancy and famous restaurant. Therefore, even though Anastasia was at home, she still ate restaurant dishes or went directly to their restaurant.
Calvin saw an acidic vegetable whose steam was steaming. The aroma is so delicious to make Calvin's stomach rumble for a moment. He actually prestige to eat all that is in the field there, but the hunger and desire to hold the food was greater than the sense of prestige.
Gea not only cooks sour vegetables, but there are also chicken beige, fried tofu, various vegetables such as basil, cucumber, and lettuce. Do not forget there is a sambal that makes Calvin feel like drooling.
"Ekhem, sir, sir, you're dumbass! Sir wants to eat? Come here, please sit down let me get you!" gea breaks Calvin's daydreams.
"Eh, that, I ... "
"Udah, come here!" Without hesitation, Gea pulled Calvin's arm and sat him in the chair he had danced on first.
Then Gea took a plate of rice and thrust it at Calvin with a smile that never faded from his lips. She treated Calvin like a wife who treated her husband.
Because of the growing hunger, Calvin also tried to spoon a spoonful of rice that has been doused in vegetable sauce and given sambal into his mouth. Calvin's eyes blinked, Calvin slowly chewed the rice in his mouth while feeling the pleasure that was not just the aroma.
Gea, who was sitting next to Calvin with her chin up, watched the man closely.
"How's mister? Does it taste good?" gea asked with sparkling eyes.
Calvin turned his head and rolled his eyes lazily, "just normal!" calvin replied indifferently but his spoon never stopped spooning rice and vegetables and side dishes a spoonful after a spoonful into his mouth. Seeing this Gea clucked while grumbling.
"Ckk .. said it was good as a prestige. Basic bummer!" gea's scolding softly while pursing her lips. Calvin could still hear the tirade even faintly, but he was only indifferent.
"Why?" gea asked while putting on her lazy smile as Calvin thrust his plate again. "Yes already? Then I'll take care of it first, sir!" gea said as she stood about to put the plate into the sink making Calvin widen his eyes.
Actually Calvin still wanted to eat, he asked to get some more rice, but Gea thought Calvin had finished eating, so he immediately put the dirty dishes in the sink.
Calvin swallowed his saliva. I'd say nambah, but prestige. Gea's cuisine was as delicious as it was, but he was too prestigious to praise her. Calvin thought that Gea would be proud to praise him. But he did not expect, because of his words, Gea thought he might not want to add.
"You don't eat?" calvin asked astonished to see that Gea had not eaten with him.
"Oh that, I .. not used to eating this hour sir. Usually I eat wait really hungry" said Gea while cleaning the side dishes on the table.
"Why?"
"So I'm afraid for the night I'm hungry again sir."
"If you are hungry, eat again. It's a bothered. If you are lazy to cook, just stay delivery order. Not that the present is delicious, want anything easy just order, food comes," replied Calvin casually.
"That's a master, if we who live in poverty how could it be. You can eat 3 times a day already Alhamdulillah. Want more from there, have a lot to think about. Because we have to think about not just the stomach, but many other things. Unlike you who are born from a family of rich people, you are also rich, have a large company whose income must be hundreds of times our income. Nowadays it's getting more sophisticated, hungry messages stay, food comes, but the money? Not everyone can do as you said. Duh, how do I talk so much! I'm sorry sir, then I wash the dishes first," Gea said with a grin and then turned her body to wash the dishes used by Calvin eating and he cooked earlier.
At the dinner table, Calvin frowned, his life which was always sufficient since childhood to make him less aware of the phenomena that occur around him including the difficulties of small communities. Gea's words had at least opened up a little bit of his mind that not everyone can be like him who can do anything without feeling shortcomings.
After eating, Calvin entered his study. Just sitting his ass in his big chair, Calvin's phone rang. Seeing the name of the caller on his phone, he smiled and immediately picked it up.
"Hi honey, I'm sorry I just called!" greeting a woman with a powerful tone makes Calvin smile widely.
Then Calvin glanced at the clock on his wrist which showed at 8pm, "there was only 3pm? Have you had lunch?"
"Hmmm .. I just finished eating. Honey, I'm Miss you."
"I Miss you too. When are you back?"
"I don't know. But once my work here is done, I'll definitely be right back."
"okay! Do not eat too late. I don't want you to be sick" said Calvin attentively.
"Thank you, honey! You always look out for me. That's what makes me love you so much."
"Really?"
"Really, are you doubting me?"
"Hmmm .. I do not know. Maybe I can only really trust you if you want to be a real housewife or at least you want to conceive my son" Calvin said solemnly.
"Honey, please, don't talk about it anymore! For now I can't do it, but I promise, someday I will definitely realize all your wishes" Anastasia said solemnly.
"When? How much longer do I have to wait? Aren't you thinking a little about how I feel that you've always stayed away? I'm lonely, honey! You know, I married you so I could have a chaperone. I'm an only child and a single parent mom. Perhaps with the presence of children in our family, it will make my life more colorful ... "
"Sorry honey, I have to get back to work. Hye!"
Tut Tut ...
"Aafr ... " Calvin growled with annoyance that Anastasia again avoided him.
Early marriage, Calvin did agree to postpone having a child because Anastasia's career was just rising. But after 3 years and Anastasia's career was more brilliant, it turns out Anastasia was never satisfied and said not ready to give him offspring, then until when? Calvin tried to understand, but his wife never seemed to understand his feelings at all.
Calvin pinched his slightly dizzy temple, then heard the sound of the door being knocked, then opened before he gave permission.
Gea entered while carrying a tray that did not know what it contained.
"Sir, this is herbal tea for you. This tea is great for digestive health, vitality, and relaxation. And this is my cake, I hope you like it" Gea said softly.
Calvin's eyebrows rose to the top, "actually what was the purpose of my mother hiring you?" asked Calvin in curiosity.
"The lady just wants you to have someone take care of her, sir. Make sure you're okay. Help prepare all your needs. Moreover, the master only lives alone here, he felt unbearable. No one takes care of the master because the master's wife is rarely at home. You also do not like there are others who roam around you even if it is just a housekeeper. Therefore, the mistress hired me" Gea said as Mega had taught her.
Calvin seemed to nod and took the tea before him and drank it little by little. As Gea said, indeed the tea was enough to make it relax. Even his sense of regret had disappeared. He also tasted Gea's cakes voraciously without saying much more.
