Marrying the Driver's Child
CHAPTER 56

Finally the unusual shower ended. Me and Arsen are now down the stairs for breakfast.

Oma, Papa, and Brother Darren were already at the dinner table when Arsen and I got to the bottom floor.

“You were so long,” said Kak Darren.

“Sorry Brother, Pa, Oma.” Arsen smiled awkwardly, then sat down in his chair.

I sat down after greeting them too.

“Today Kimmy we cook fried rice that either tastes good or not, but you all have to taste it,” Oma said.

Papa and Kak Darren immediately put on a tense face. They couldn't possibly escape from Oma who had given the order. Arsen looks ordinary, I know he is very resigned to whatever the taste of my cooking. While Oma immediately filled the dishes Papa and Kak Darren with my cooking earlier. After that I served Arsen.

“Oma, it's safe, ‘kan?” ask Brother Darren.

“Ihh, try icipin first, Kak,”.

“Kakak not only want stomach pain like the incident a few days ago,” said Kak Darren.

Yes, a few days ago I cooked too much pepper so they all had stomach pains.

“I uali first ya.” Arsen immediately fed a spoonful of rice to his mouth.

Me, Papa, Brother Darren, and Oma looked at Arsen tensely. Looking forward to Arsen's expression that began to change as he began to chew on the food.

“Where? You long ago?” asked Papa still with a tense face.

Arsen made his comments too long. For me, it's like waiting for a second of school exam graduation.

Arsen drank the water beside him, making us even more impatient to wait for his answer.

“Ih, Arsen hunt, how does it feel?” ask me when Arsen finished drinking.

“So much,” replied Arsen who made me smile with relief.

“Ah lie, you always will if Kimmy is cooking. Always eat all the bad Kimmy dishes, bucin tau nak,” said Kak Darren who made me feel faint.

Right too, Arsen always was, whatever I cooked he would always eat, no matter what the taste was definitely unclear.

“Let papa try.” This time it was Mr. Ardy's turn to be the jury. I became tense back when Papa tasted my cooking.

Papa's expression was a little strange, his forehead wrinkled, his eyes looking at me with flickering. Very strange! Papa didn't say anything, but his expression made me disappointed.

“Papa is also strange,” said Kak Darren who then tasted his own food.

This time, Brother Darren was also strange, he seemed to chew longer, then looked at me with a strange look.

“We eat first.” Now it was Oma's turn to speak.

“Iya, the cooking is good, we just eat first,” Papa said.

Talking about Mama has always been a scary thing to talk about. In this house, not even a single photo of Mama is stored. I don't even know if Mama's alive or not?

The atmosphere turned gloomy, I who was tense waiting for the answer to my cooking assessment, suddenly became no appetite. However, Arsen grabbed my hand, then fed the fried rice into my mouth.

“Eat, I will transfer to campus,” said Arsen who continued to bribe me.

After finishing eating, as usual I will wash all the dishes until the clean just get ready to go to campus. Usually Oma would watch me while washing the dishes, but this time it was different, Oma immediately left the dining table after finishing breakfast.

What happened to Mama actually? Who will answer my question about my mother?

***

Me and Arsen on the way to college. However, I wasn't too excited because of the incident at the dinner table earlier.

Suddenly, I was reminded of Miss Kia's duty which required me to visit the company to complete my task.

“Arsen, what time do you have class? I forgot I have to go to one company, I will take the car, yes,” I said.

“I just met the lecturer for my script anyway, the plan I want to go to the cafe, later I take the bus aja.” Arsen smiled.

“Ke cafe instead of afternoon?” my question, a little strange ‘kan that Arsen afternoon to the cafe.

“I forgot to tell you yes, last night Papa asked me to help Kak Darren in the office while I set the thesis,” said Arsen.

“So, you will resign from the cafe?” my many. Arsen nodded.

Good riddance! Arsen won't be home tonight if he works in Papa's office.

“I actually have a group task with Kenneth, but I want to finish it myself,” I said hesitantly.

“Kenneth that one? I don't agree, I'll go to his company.” Arsen looked at me with an annoyed look on his face.
