I'm Young Wife
S2_60'S CHAT. Warmth of the Family

Alex is talking to Nathan and Bhishma at his in-laws' office about their business development. Today, Nara invites her to visit her parents after work.

“So Lunar Ind is now owned by Amerta Corp?” Nathan asked after Alex had just confirmed this.

“Certain pa. That way I will easily restore the state of the company owned by Mr. David's.”

“But I was surprised, how could David easily sell a company that he's been struggling to build from scratch?” Nathan asked in wonder. Because he knows for himself the struggle of David to build the company from scratch together with Luna.

“Actually Mr. David doesn't want to sell it. But when I made an offer to replace it with one of the Amerta branches in Singapore he finally agreed.”

Hearing Alex's explanation, Nathan and Bisma are aghast. This exchange is not balanced at all. Obviously Alex was very disadvantaged in this regard. Although it was just a branch company, it could be assured to be bigger than the Lunar Ind that was on the verge of going bankrupt. Especially located in Singapore. The company is growing.

“Hehehe. Apparently so. He should want to. You're too good.” Nathan stood up and patted Alex on the shoulder opposite him with Bhishma.

“You must have lost your mind Lex.” Bisma shook her head.

“No. I certainly didn't trade it for granted. I have some conditions they have to do. I certainly don't want to lose.” Alex grinned.

In fact, Alex conditions David to guarantee that Rafael will not return to interfere with his family's life. Alex will also be watching Rafael's movements. He also made sure that David carried out his promise to eliminate Rafael's memory through psychological therapy.

“Alright if you have thought about it carefully. Papa can only support you.” Nathan smiled sincerely. He was satisfied with his daughter-in-law. Rarely are there men who are willing to do many things especially those that are detrimental only to a woman.

“Thank you pa.”

While the men were talking about the company in the study, Nara was in the kitchen with Nadia. It's wrong if anyone thinks Nara will help Nadia cook. Then the answer is wrong.

Nara only accompanied Nadia. Saw mama and their two maidservants busy with various kitchen utensils and also cooking ingredients. This girl who just became a wife is a big zero in terms of kitchen. All he could do in the kitchen was make tea, coffee, syrup and milk. Besides, he can't. Even making instant noodles he can't.

“Honey, rather than just sitting there, you better help mama here. Peel the onions You can definitely.” Nadia glanced at Nara who was busy stuffing pieces of fruit into her mouth.

“Nara is not paired with a knife ma. Later if Nara's finger hurt how?” Nara did not take it seriously. After all, he was not interested in anything that dealt with the kitchen other than eating.

“Reason. You are already a wife. If it wasn't you, who would cook Alex?” ask Nadia.

Nara answered without thinking. “Mak Jum and Mak Marni. Their cooking is delicious. Almost as good as the cuisine of mama.”

Nadia grunting. “You're. Although there is a helper, you should also learn to cook little by little.” Nadia tapped Nara's head with the spatula she was holding. Make her daughter complain slowly.

“Ma, if there is a helper why should I be complicated? If I were to cook, Alex would faint before fullness.” Nara answered after finding the right reason so that her mother did not pursue her continued problems learning to cook.

“As you are. Fortunately, you don't have a mother-in-law. If you had you would have been kicked to be a daughter-in-law.” Nadia glanced resentfully at her son. Not once did he ask Nara twice to learn how to cook. But his daughter had a thousand and one reasons to avoid.

“Money the ingredients sambalnya I have prepared.” Mbok Ida showed a bowl of cleaned onions and chili.

“Good mbok. Mbok Ida please continue frying the fish. I'll continue the link.” Nadia handed the spatula to Ida and shifted.

Not that he doesn't believe that Ida can cook well. But for the sambal affair patched, Nathan only fits with the sauce made by Nadia.

“Try you see papa. Although in this house there is a maid, papa will be more happy if you eat mama's cooking. Don't you hear if you want to win a husband's heart, you should be able to win his tongue. From tongue down to heart.” Nadia began to arrange the cooking on the dining table after everything was ready. Mbok Ida helped him while Nara relaxed and sat on the dining table chair.

“That's an old saying ma. Dull. It doesn't suit me and Alex. Mama's good at cooking and I'm not. Without even cooking I can make Alex fall in love with me.” Nara was proud.

“True mama. Nara doesn't have to cook me food. I received Nara as is.” Nara and Nadia looked at the three men who were approaching them. Nara smiled hearing Alex defending her.

“Tuh ma's. Mama heard for herself the daughter-in-law of mama.”

“Hahs. If her husband says so already.” Nadia took a breath. Nathan immediately approached her and kissed her on the cheek.

“Don't get angry ma. Their stories are different. Let them live their lives as I planned.”

“Already. Let's start eating it. Papa is hungry.” Nathan rubbed his stomach.

Inevitably Nadia also stopped her chatter. He immediately served food on Nathan's plate. He codes Nara who wants to take food for herself to serve Alex first.

“Hehehe. Sorry ma. Not used.” Nara chuckles and puts the rice in her centong to Alex's plate.

“Please understand me son Alex. This Nara despite being an adult still likes childishness.”

“It's okay ma. Alex doesn't mind.” Alex smiles. Getting the attention of Nara's family made her feel warm. During this family warmth only he got from the helpers which of course there is still a sense of awkwardness from them. And that sense of comfort is certainly different from what he got from this new family.

After dinner, Nara and Alex return home. Actually Nadia asked both of them to stay for a day or two. But Alex has to go out of town early tomorrow. So they had to reject Nadia's wishes.

Nara went straight into her room after she got home. But how surprised he was when he saw two cabinets in their dressing room.

“You like?” Alex puts his hand around Nara's waist. He rubbed his wife's stomach from behind.

“Like what?”

“Two of those cabinets. Is it in accordance with your wishes? Let's take a look.” Alex pulls Nara's hand to get closer and opens the closet.

Casual dress, shirt, party dress, nightgown, lingerie, interior. All are in the two closets. Now Nara just understood Alex's question about his wish. Her husband took her jokes seriously.

“For bags and shoes tomorrow will be sent.” Alex's next words make Nara almost drop her jaw.

“Lex, didn't I say it wasn't necessary. I've got plenty. The one-third that was in my mom's house that I brought here almost all of them I've never used. Why buy this much more? Especially this dress. Why so many?” Nara pointed at the lingerie that filled almost half the wardrobe.

“That's because that shirt is a shaggy shirt like you said. Can only be used once. So you should have a lot.”

Nara rolled her eyeballs.

“For bags and shoes do not need to be sent. You cancancel it yes.” Nara tried to be patient.

“Cannot. All paid and live sent.” Answer Alex casually.

“But I already have a lot.”

“Iya. You do have a lot. But I'd also like to buy you all this stuff. If you feel too much, you can give it to whomever you want. Easy right?”

“Hah well. Because it's already gone, how else. But next time you want to buy me something, you ask me first.” Nara grabs Alex's hand which frames her face. Grasping tightly. He knew Alex was doing all that to please him. But for Nara, it wasn't so necessary.

“Good. Sorry if I'm going too far. I just want to make you happy.” Nara smiled.

“I know. But the truth is what makes me the happiest right now is being with you like this. You know?”

“Yes. I know you're very special.” Alex hugged Nara tightly. How lucky he is to have Nara as his wife. The woman who looked spoiled outside turned out to be so simple.
