"Rich, where are you going? you look so relaxed?" Sofia who was arranging breakfast at the table accompanied by Milea and a servant was astonished by the behavior of her second child who was not as savage. Richard who is usually neat in the morning because he has to teach or do other activities today is so casual with his jeans and t-shirts. Sofia had to be made to cluck in awe because the soft yellow skin Richard inherited from her was so fittingly combined with her white t-shirt this morning. Asian special looks that are worth considering.
"You go to the airport, pick up Naura mom." she said with a cheerful face. Everyone who was at the dinner table laughed lightly at the youngest's joy except Milea. Either because I don't know who Naura is or that girl doesn't like it. What was clear was that he chose silence and immediately took his seat by Rafael's side as soon as all the food was on the table.
"Is Nau gonna be here long, Rich?" Nando who usually rarely expressed like Rafa now instead asked no less cheerful than his son and wife.
"Maybe a month, maybe forever. Dady knows if Nau is following the mood. But I'll make him feel at home here. If necessary, he won't let her go home. Is that right, brother?" Richard asked his older brother who had chosen to be silent like Milea.
"That kid never changes." Sofia said. Landed dishes that have been filled with food on the husband who changed rame that morning like Richard. Yes, not usually the dining table that is usually quiet becomes this crowded because of the talk themed a woman named Naura.
Milly who was just silent while finishing her food while listening to the exciting talk without understanding who it was. Besides, Rafa only occasionally chimed if asked for an opinion or asked something. From that conversation Milea so know if the girl named Naura is very special in this house. Momy Sofia, dady Nando and Richard talked about the girl a lot until the dinner was over.
"Don't you want to come and get Nau?" bargain Richard after they all rise. Rafa shook his head, then followed his dady to the exit. The girl observed how intimate her mother-in-law was when Dady Nando was about to leave for her office while she was at home because there was no practice schedule. Sofia always kissed her husband's hands politely which must be in reply to the gentle kiss of Fernando who always looked at her lovingly. She being?? Rafa is just silent in his place, as well as her selaly acting like a stranger to her husband.
Until here Milly can breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know what made him that. Hearing Rafael did not participate in the frenzy discussing Naura alone had made him able to breathe normally. There was at least one person who was not so enthusiastic about the arrival of Naura in the house.
"Milly, are you going to college today?" Sofia gently touches her daughter-in-law's shoulder when her husband and son have disappeared in the fence. Apparently Milea was too much daydreaming until she did not realize that the person they were sending to the door was no longer there.
"No mom. Mr. Richard has signed my thesis. Court's next week." Sofia frowned.
"Sir Richard?" serious repeat. Milea nodded.
"Milly, from now on you have a lot to learn to put yourself in. On campus you must call Rich by the word sir, but at home. Just call her name. At least nobody feels stiff in this house."
"Good mom." replied Milea shortly. There was a slight feeling of condolence in her heart because her in-laws remained on good and gentle terms even though she had made a mistake yesterday. No one talks about his mistakes like he never did.
"Momy wants to make chocolate pudding and Naura's favorite egg martabak. She must have missed momy's punding. Do you want to come?" Doubtful, Milea nodded then followed Sofia's steps towards the kitchen. Nani, the chef got out of the way as soon as the hostess walked into the kitchen. She knew that Sofia would cook for herself if she had to go down to the kitchen.
"What can I do for you mom, I can't cook at all." Sofia only smiled as her daughter-in-law said so innocently to her. If most of the daughters-in-law will be put on her father-in-law because they can't do anything, but not Sofia. A daughter-in-law to him is the same as her son. They were all treated fairly at home.
"Can't not mean Mill's forever, you can start learning if you want. A wife should be able to cook something for her husband even if it's just a simple nag. By the way Richard likes grilled gourami like his father." Sofia said while handing over some pieces of vegetables to clean Milea.
"Then Rafa's brother?" Sofia only glanced at her daughter-in-law at a glance, the corner of her lips raised.
"Rafa loves pickles and soy sauce."
"Can momy teach me how to cook it?" I don't know why Milea's request sounded so hopeful to her.
"Naura will be here any minute. You can learn to cook from him. That girl is very good at cooking. You know, he's got some big restaurants in his country." Momentarily Milea's guts. The girl who was coming to the house sounded very smart and well-established. Why was he so jealous before even seeing her?
"Calm down, Milly, Nau is a kind and friendly girl. Momy will tell her to teach you." comfort Sofia. Milly didn't even know if her in-laws wanted to comfort her or light coals on her chest.
"Maybe next time, Mom. This week I will be busy preparing myself to learn." Milea refused subtly. Sofia just smiled and continued her cooking.
"You don't have to worry about that, either, Milly. Nau is the best graduate in his campus until he can be predicated cumlaude. He graduated from economics in just three years. You can learn a lot from him, son." Again and again Milea was made inferior by the words of Sofia who compared herself to Naura indirectly. What is he who can only pray graduated in the eighth semester in the eyes of his father-in-law who is a famous specialist? Milea is feeling very sad right now.
"Mama.I miss you." she whispered inwardly, holding a little pain in the corner of her heart.
