Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 61 - Ajie Lily's Side Story: Stomach Satisfied, Happy Wife

Ajie had just finished pressing the light switch, turning off the last electric light. The glow of candlelight glow in his eyes replaced the lights that were turned off, as he stared at the incoming message on his phone. Message from his sister.

[Avelia: Kak Lily and Kak Tiar are over to Bogor, Mas]

[Ajie: Okay. Thanks.]

[Avelia: Ave also nitips food for Papa and Mas. Butter fried chicken, mushroom shrimp and cappucino milk pudding.]

[Ajie: Thanks, Lil Sis. I miss your cooking too.]

[Avelia: You're welcome, Mom. Miss you too. Sorry I can't go home.]

[Daily: Take care, Ve!]

The sound of breaths was heard before Ajie pocketed his phone back, turning to Jaya and Danu. "Where? Have you been spinning the candles?"

Jaya showed off her row of white teeth. "Kelaar! Our wives must be flabby."

Danu who was crouching in front of the rows of candles on the floor looked up at them in annoyance. "Since when does the assistant director have a job desc.must make sure the candles stay lit like this, Mr. Boss?"

"Yes, don't be an assistant director. Or do you want to be mutated to Papua to be a branch director there? How many times did Amy ask you to be sent to the farthest desert. He was tired of being invited to a mulu marriage as well as you," said Ajie casually as he looked at the ranks of candles that lit up in the living room until out to the front yard.

Jaya, who was spreading rose petals along the candle-filled floor, chuckled as she saw that Danu could only pursed her lips and re-light the dead candle.

When he saw Jaya a little away, Ajie patted Danu on the shoulder. "Have you dealt with Ave?" ask with a serious face.

Danu just nodded. He knew Ajie didn't want them to discuss the matter in front of Jaya. A few hours earlier, Jaya's face looked strange when she heard Ajie and Danu's conversation about the company where Ave worked. Something that even provokes Ajie's curiosity.

After Jaya approached, Danu was busy lighting candles. Ajie had also turned to her again.

"Where are the two of them?" ask Ajie to Jaya.

"A little bit more. He said five more minutes are also nyampe."

Ajie. "We'd better wait in front, and then check if there's a dead candle. Cake as a gift to them ready." He looked at Danu again. "Lo wait inside. Keep the candles! Turn it on again when it's dead!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" danu answered half-grumbling.

But when they were at the door, Mom seemed busy fanning the candles that lined up to die. Behind him was Dad holding Ali, also while putting out the candle.

"Switch, who else is this?!! Can fire the house if the candle is this much. If the lights are off then mbok ya komplen to PLN there!" Mom looked at Dad. "That's Dad. That's why Dad's deck is guaranteed it's all right!"

Jaya and Ajie stood helpless. Can only be silent to see the mother and father busy shutting down all the ranks of small candles that lit.

"This again! Why waste roses here?? Is this from my mom's garden? Who is this the methikin? Oh my... " Mom turned to the two men who were standing still at the door and narrowed their eyes. "Don't tell me it's both of you!"

Both can speak only a thousand languages. Jaya elbowed Ajie's arm. "Ajie's got an idea, Mom!"

Ajie looked at Jaya. Can't say anything. But the look in her eyes that looked at Jaya as if to say, 'you said Mom and Dad will stay at the hotel tonight!?!'

Mom ruffled waist. "You know you don't bother cleaning up this trash later! Watch out if you guys don't clean up! Mom will tell your wives to both of you. It's delicious."

The two heads of the young man who was taller than Mother could only be bowed.

Dad touched his wife's arm. "Already, Mother. They just want a little romantic with the wife. Not papa this once. They will take care of it later."

The two heads that were bowed in front of Mother lifted up, nodding compactly. A glimmer of hope appeared on their faces as they looked up at Father.

Mom turned to Dad. Dreary face. "Romantic? Did you say romantic? Why is it that you are never romantic? Used to date while calling a relationship. Once married, take Lily everywhere. Now bring a grandson. When did you know it was romantic?"

Moments Dad's face turned dark. In my heart I would love to scold the two young men in front of him. Those who act, why did he come with the sap? Didn't they know that Mom is a former lawyer who is not easily defeated when arguing?

Just then a silver car stopped in the yard. Two women got out of the car. They smiled broadly at the excitement in front of the house.

"Waaah, whoa, whoa... What's the matter?" ask Lily meaningfully. He glanced at Ajie who hurriedly approached him. Her face looked at the surprise in front of the mother's house.

"It's a surprise for both of you. But..." Sentence Jaya hangs and he just stares at the Mother who still looks upset. Before Mum goes back to nagging, he embraces his wife.

Lily and Tiar both laughed. Just nod. They already understand.

"Udaaah, no papa. We understand." Tiar approaches Mom, embracing her warmly. "My dear sister, sorry for Bang Jaya being naughty again. Understand it Mak. We rarely get this kind of fun. Mak don't worry, Tiar will always be the same as Mom. Anyway more dear Mother than Bang Jaya deh."

Mother did not answer. But his lips are smiling. Among all her daughters-in-law and children, only Tiar understands her best.

Ajie nudges Lily. Giving him a command stare to imitate Tiar. Taking a deep breath and a little unwillingness, Lily also embraced the other Mother's hand.

"Yes, beautiful Lily. Don't be angry, Mom! Ajie just wanted to cheer Lily up. So parents are not easy. Especially this is the first time. Not Mak himself who said, if a mother could have stress while taking care of the baby?"

Mom turned to her daughter with narrowed eyes. "Punya you was until Mother so grandmother is also still stress mulu innannya. But you don't feel the need to do this."

Tiar chuckles. Jaya too. Lily's mouth was open, ready to retaliate, but the hunt was closed by her husband.

"Okay, okay Mak. Later all me and Jaya take care of. Mom and Dad can rest first. Titip Ali for a minute, Mak." That was all Ajie could say before the two nearby volcanoes exploded. Your ability to argue is as tough as Lily's. Like mother like daughter's.

Mom just nodded, before entering the house. But his hand still had time to fan the candles are still lit along the stairs and living room until extinguished. Ajie and Jaya could only take a deep breath.

But the surprise didn't completely end disappointed, they managed to reward a chocolate strawberry tart for Tiar and Lily. Surprise to both of their wives who have been going through major changes in recent months.

Today is not a special day for both couples, but Ajie and Jaya want to make it as one of the special days. Just a little surprise. Before Mom's presence slightly disturbed their plans.

While chatting about Avelia's state, without opening up any information regarding Zaid at all, the four of them began to sit around the dining table. Lily and Tiar share a cake and eat together in front of the husbands. While Danu immediately say goodbye when the task is finished. He had to go back to Jakarta that night. He also did not want to be a mosquito bully for both partners.

"Oh yeah, said Ave he's nitip food. Where's?" ask Ajie while sitting down.

"Oh that. Still in the car, Ji. Bangs... Please take the food box in the car!" said Tiar. Jaya nodded and hurried out, picking up the boxes of food.

Soon Jaya was back. His forehead wrinkled as he placed the food boxes on the table. "This is so light, right? Isn't it leaking?" tanyanya.

Tiar smacked his lips. Lily smiled strangely. Ajie and Jaya started removing boxes of food from the plastic.

When Ajie opened the box that smelled of his favorite fried chicken. His imagination envisions a box full of delicious pieces of golden-colored chicken meat, one of Ave's finest dishes.

But when the lid of the box is removed, Ajie is dumbstruck.

In the box, only the bones of chicken meat are visible. Only after researching longer, there were only three pieces of chicken thighs that were still intact

Ajie raised his face in wonder. "This kok... ?"

"Mmm, that was his intention we were just nyicipin anyway. For some reason suddenly the same hand our mouth becomes a constant. Tau-tau pas nyampe has stayed that way," Lily quipped in a spoiled tone while grimacing a little.

At the same time, Jaya also opened a food box containing cappucino milk pudding. But inside the box were only traces of milk and brownish water stains and two plastic spoons.

Lily pointed towards Tiar. "It's the same bini lo, Bang! Lily's just a little nyicip. Really! It's just two three spoonfuls."

Tiar looked at her husband with a sweet smile. "Bring baby, Iaaang. I haven't had a long time of coffee. No papa pudding this coffee taste little kok." Then turned to Lily and glared. "Opaan lo, two three spoons doang."

Ajie and Jaya said nothing. No more wishing there was leftovers for the last box of food. Only hope is always there. But before they could open, another pair of hands had already grabbed him. My mother's hand was standing near them.

"So Ave send a message, this special mushroom shrimp mushroom specifically for Daddy and Mom! You guys cook instant noodles there! Or order a food delivery." Then the middle-aged woman took the lunchbox to the kitchen, without any burden leaving the two young men who were gulping down hungry saliva.

Lily nodded at Tiar. "But that box we didn't touch at all, Yar."

Tiar nodded as he stuffed the tart piece into his mouth. Chewed happily.

While the two young men faced each other speechlessly other than looking at the empty boxes in front of them.

A beautiful plan, a full stomach and a happy heart are just dreams. It's just the full stomachs of happy wives.
