Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 31

"You must eat a lot of meat, let you grow well."

Zenwa immediately gaped at Micheal's words which again he thought was very absurd, he looked at her husband in confusion.

"My growth is over, do you think I still need to grow again?" he asked calmly but the look in his eyes implied annoyance.

"Of course, look at your body, still small, short." Zenwa was certainly increasingly upset to hear what Micheal said lightly, of course he was offended at saying small and short, but Zenwa was still trying to be calm.

Without responding to Micheal's remarks, Zenwa continued to eat his dinner in silence and more quickly, he also finished two pieces of chicken on his plate but Zenwa separated the chicken skin to the edge of his plate.

"Why are we separated?" micheal asked, which made Zenwa look up, feeling that Micheal was very chatty.

"I don't like chicken skin" Zenwa replied lazily.

"That's good, savory, try it." Micheal took the chicken skin and was about to feed it into Zenwa's mouth but Zenwa spontaneously brushed Micheal's hand away, making Micheal gasp and Zenwa's parents startled at what Zenwa was doing, likewise with Zenwa, he looked at Micheal with sadness and guilt tickled his heart, really he accidentally did that.

A moment of awkwardness, but then Michael smiled and ate the chicken skin.

"It's good if you don't like chicken skin" he said then while chewing "Because this is fat, you will get fat." he continued which made Zenwa immediately gawk, while Zenwa's parents laughed amusedly. Zenwa stared intently at Micheal while biting the rest of her chicken rough, she chewed it quickly as Zenwa impatiently wanted to leave her husband's side.

"Loh, already?" micheal asked as Zenwa moved out of her chair.

"Hem," replied Zenwa lazily.

"Your portion of food is a little yes, it deserves your body thin," said Micheal who made Zenwa growl restrained.

"This is proportional, not skinny!" firmly Zenwa then he headed to the wastefel, washed his hands then he washed the dishes.

"Oh yes, Micheal. When are you going to Jakarta?" ask Oma later.

"Certainly? How are you and Zenwa? Are you still not staying in one room?" ask the curious Opa.

"True, you better fix your relationship as soon as possible, we want a great-grandchild."

Micheal had already opened his mouth about to answer the question but suddenly the sound of the plate falling down, made them startle.

Zenwa did not hesitate to drop the plate he just washed, even he was very surprised by it.

While at the dinner table, they all stared at each other "It looks like Zenwa is still angry, Micheal."Ummi Zainab said half-noisy.

"Yes, it could be a sign" continued Abi Hamka who also half whispered.

"Is Zenwa going to break the plate when she's angry or doesn't like something?" asked Micheal curiously.

"Yes and no" replied Oma who made Micheal immediately frown.

"Yes and no? Meanin?" tanyanya's confused.

"As a child, Zenwa will go berserk if his wishes are not fulfilled, he can throw whatever is in front of him." Opa replied then fed the rice to his mouth.

"More precisely, when Zenwa was 1 to 6 years old," continued Ummi Zainab.

"True, once an adult no longer. He's a good, obedient boy." Abi Hamka chimed in on his wife's remarks, while Micheal could only be dumbfounded. Especially considering how Zenwa behaved all this time, it was very graceful.

Meanwhile, Zenwa carefully cleaned the dish, after making sure the kitchen was safe, and rushed to his room without talking to his family who were still at the dinner table, making them more convinced that Zenwa was angry.
