My Perfect Stranger's
Strange Attitude

At night in Ardigo's apartment

Since the afternoon, Friska was busy cooking cakes and various other foods. He felt excited about preparing food for the next few days. Ms. Siti had come home a while ago on Friska's orders

"Chicken is done revealed and stay fried, seasoning for meat is also already, just stay these cakes and my work will be finished" Friska murmured slowly

"Why are we cooking this much, ma?" ask Vano who has been helping Friska ever since

He was very enthusiastic about printing the dry cakes with the shape he wanted. Friska just let the kid have fun. I don't know at the moment he just wants to see Vano happy and smiling

"So Vano has plenty of food for the next few days" Friska replied

"Yeayyy we have plenty of food" Vano cheered

"Now Vano put these cookies in a jar. After that we will have dinner" said Friska who was immediately embraced by Vano

"Okay ma"

After cleaning all the cooking utensils, Friska served dinner. He hasn't washed all his cooking utensils, he intends to wash them with their plates later

"Now please Vano call papa ya"

"Yes ma"

Vano then stepped towards Ardigo's room

Soon Friska sees Ardigo and Vano walking side by side towards the kitchen

He had already put the rice onto Ardigo's plate, so the man only had to take the side dish. As for Vano, Friska has taken complete with the side dish. Friska does not talk much to Ardigo, but her job is still done.

Ardigo stared at Friska's face for a moment, then his hands stretched out to clear the traces of flour on his forehead. Friska was surprised and looked at Ardigo at a glance then turned her eyes back

They eat in silence and with their own minds, especially Ardigo and Friska

After finishing eating, Friska then washed all dishes and cooking utensils that had filled the sink. He struggled with those dirty dishes for a long time. After he finished, he cleaned everything up completely clean. Friska collected all the plastic waste and put it in a big bag. He cleaned the kitchen, starting from sweeping and cleaning the dirt

"It's night, work tomorrow with the lady" suddenly Ardigo's baritone voice interrupted Friska's activities

"It's okay, I'll clean up now"

After making sure everything was clean, Friska then took the remnants of the cake ingredients and intended to save it back to the top cabinet of the kitchen

Friska was on her tiptoes because the cupboard was quite tall, yet she had not succeeded either

"Don't be too independent, you make people around you feel useless" Ardigo said, grabbing the plastic and putting it in the closet

"Thank you" after that Friska took off her apron

"Mas, come here for a minute" Friska called in a less friendly tone. He stood by the refrigerator and opened it

"What's wrong?"

"I've prepared the food here. This chicken will stay in the fry only, the meat will also stay mixed with spices and cook for a while, the fruits I keep at the bottom. Inside this place there is also a cake that I have made" explained Friska while pointing at the objects one by one. This was their longest conversation after the fight that night

"Where are you going?"

"You mean?"

"You explained everything as if you wanted to leave. Is it because you're still angry with me? I'm not letting you go, Friska"

"What are you talking about? I'm not in the mood to discuss that. I'm not going anywhere, tomorrow I'm just going to college for thesis guidance. I don't know what time I'll be home tomorrow, which is why I remind you" Friska replied

Ardigo felt this was very strange, but every day he would go home in the afternoon. So why did Friska explain it all to him. Ardigo hasn't touched the kitchen since they got married. Is that angry Friska to him? even told her to cook for herself

Tomorrow I will apologize and surprise him. Inner Ardigo

"alright. What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, ask Mr. Danang to take you. Remember, I will not allow you to go anywhere without my knowledge. So don't go without my permission"

"Yes. Basic arranger" said Friska slowly and left Ardigo

Ardigo looked at Friska's back without letting go of his eyes

"What feeling is this? why do I feel like I'm claustrophobic" muttered Ardigo as he held onto his chest

****

The next day, the,

Friska woke up early this morning. He started cleaning and tidying up the apartment. He swept all corners of the room and did not forget to mop it. Friska also cleans the dust on all the furniture.

"Fyuhh, it's finally finished too. This way I can go quietly to campus this afternoon" Friska said. I don't feel like the day is starting to light

Friska then prepared breakfast and did not forget to take a shower because her body was very sticky after cleaning one apartment.

Back in the kitchen, Friska saw that Ardigo and Vano were already sitting at the dining table. He makes coffee for Ardigo and milk for Vano.

"You eat first, yes, mama will prepare provisions for Vano"

Friska is very painstaking in doing all the work.

"It's Vano's stock, don't forget to spend it, baby."

"And this is for you mas" said Friska while putting a box of supplies near Ardigo. He didn't even look at the man

To be honest he was still angry and reluctant to talk to Ardigo, but his heart just wanted to do all that

Ardigo is further confused by Friska's attitude, but he is also happy that the girl is watching him. Not like a few days ago

After finishing breakfast, Ardigo and Vano say goodbye to leave

"Vano be careful at school huh. Be a good and strong child, do not forget about meal time. Mama loves Vano so much at any time" said Friska while looking closely at Vano's small body

"Yes ma, I love you more" replied Vano smiling sweetly

"We're leaving first" Ardigo said

"Wait" call Friska

"Why?"

Friska walked closer towards Ardigo

"You're a CEO, take care of your appearance" Friska said, but her hand moved justifying Ardigo's tie knot

Ardigo felt his mood instantly rise to the highest level. His lips automatically smiled. He really can't wait for tonight

"Thank you" said Ardigo

"Yes"

Ardigo did not know why his body was moving to hug Friska tightly. It was as if they would be separated for a long time. He felt today time would go very slowly and the night would be very long coming.

"Get yourself" said Friska quietly

"You too" Ardigo replied after taking off his embrace

"We go first"

"Be careful" after that they actually went and left Friska alone in the apartment.

To be continued.
