Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 78 - Sad in Silence (1)

~ Soundless longing stories ~

Ave's slender fingers pressed the 'off' button on the induction oven in front of him and then picked up the baking pan. He smiled proudly at the *Chiffo*n Tea Pull Cake he just finished making.

While waiting for the temperature of the cake to cool down, Ave checked the rice cooker that was cooking the fatty rice. As he approached, the distinctive aroma of the spice-dominated rice tickled his nose. The rice will soon be ripe. Her lips smiled a little.

Sounds like rain rinai were heard from the frying pan. The girl moved to the front of the stove. Ave's hand flipped the fried chicken inside the frying pan, before it moved back to the kitchen island.

Ave had arranged the soun and toge in a bowl on the large table, then using a vegetable spoon, he added Laksa sauce. After that do not forget to arrange various toppings such as meatballs and eggs to beautify its appearance.

Satisfied with the results of his plate layout, Ave took the phone in his pink apron pouch and began photographing the bowl containing Laksa from various angles. When he was sure he had taken a photo of the best side of the food, Ave called Bibik who was cleaning up the leftovers of the shrimp skin in the sink to move the bowl to the dining table.

The girl then began to inspect the piece of fried chicken meat once again and picked it up. Drain to reduce the oil before putting the remaining oil into a special bowl. He coded Bibik who was back standing nearby to prepare ingredients to cook Curry Noodles.

While two other women stood watching Avelia with pity mixed with sadness.

"Have you called Mas Ajie, Li?" tiar asked as he stroked his increasingly bulging stomach with a masygul.

Lily's lips frowned. "Already! I'm going home right now."

"Why do we all call Danu and Amy?" tiar said again giving an idea. His eyes moved on the various dishes on the dining table.

"I thought so too. But I want Mas Ajie to come and see for himself because of his actions. If there's anyone else, I'm afraid our plans are breaking up."

"Have you not eaten yet?" ask Lily with a gloomy face.

Tiar's forehead is folded. "Yet. I dare not squirm Ave kalap that. You been?"

Lily shrugged while pointing at the dish closest to them. "Cobain. But not this one, just wait for Mas Ajie. You know what I mean. Mas Ajie is no longer in his office. I called him somewhere else. Call Bang Jaya, Yar! Let's help us talk to Mas Ajie if it fails."

"I just called. He's an otewe."

Then the atmosphere went back into silence and the two returned to the door of the wet kitchen, watching Ave who was still busy circling. Sometimes his hands are busy arranging, cutting, frying and finally photographing the finished dish.

Almost an hour later, Ajie entered the house. He was surprised to see his wife sitting on the floor, playing with Ali in the living room with Tiar, who was sitting on the sofa.

Looking at their faces, Ajie knew something was wrong. His eyes immediately traced the body of his son, Ali. But the little baby looked cool wriggling on a thin carpet patterned by a large bear.

"What's wrong? Why are you guys squirming ghosts like that?" ask Ajie. He intended to sit down when his wife just wagged her hands.

"Hey, hey. Who told you to sit down! Wake up, follow Lily!" lily's orders. The little girl's forehead creased as she took her son to carry and stand.

Obediently, Ajie followed his wife's steps towards the dining room and kitchen. Tiar stays on the couch. His stomach was getting bigger, making him lazy to stand up. Soon, her husband will also come so she prefers to wait for Jaya.

"Wow! What a feast! This... " Ajie was at a loss for words looking at the various dishes that lay on the large 12-seat dining table as soon as Lily took her to the dining room.

Ajie approached the dining table and checked all the dishes.

During this time, Mother who had a lot of secret condiments served thanks to her food stall business network, which later became a special chef weekend with Avelia. Even when Avelia stayed outside for a while, the habit was still maintained. It is not a strange sight when many dishes are served on the large dining table.

But today is not the weekend. Also unlike previous habits with a menu that only consists of 5-6 kinds with large quantities.

This time it's different. The dishes on the table were all different in each bowl, plate and even the glass containing the pudding.

Ajie looked at Lily. "This... are you cooking?" asked Ajie with dark eyes and narrowed eyes. A worry surfaced in his heart, recalling his bad experience all along.

"Isa... Not possible! Lily where to cook! It's Ave cooking!" reply sebal. Ali squirmed in his arms, looking at his mother with a plain face.

"Why does he cook so much? Anyone want to come?" ask Ajie while pulling one of the dishes with yellow fruiting.

Looking at the plate her husband pulled, Lily did not answer. He moved towards the small cupboard in the corner of the dining room, picking up a spoon. She placed the spoon on her husband. "Taste it!" said. [Sample it!]

The delicious aroma was smelled from the dish on the plate, and Ajie had already wanted to try it. Without hesitation with Avelia's cooking ability that he had proven himself, Ajie scooped the yellow sauce with the pieces of meat on top until the spoon was full.

One sec. Two seconds. Three seconds.

"Geek!" Ajie spouted back the new gulai he put into his mouth when an unusual taste attack invaded his tongue.

Fortunately Lily had also picked up the tissue when Ajie was scooping the dish. "Where?" ask her cynically.

Ajie raised his face. His reddened eyes held a strange taste in his tongue. "Surely it's not you who's cooking, Li?"

Lily growling. "Open up! Ask the aunt!" Just then from the direction of the kitchen, Bibik came out carrying a closed shell-shaped fried food.

Ajie knew his wife couldn't lie. Lily's face had already described her heartbreak. Rushing Ajie moved towards the wet kitchen and saw his sister standing on her back in the middle of frying something on the stove.

"What is this really about?" ajie asked as he approached his wife.

Lily who was already sitting while holding me Ali, looked at Ajie sadly. Eyes glazed. "Hati Mas still not moved to see all this? Until when is Mas still hard on Ave? Ave was sad secretly this is much more poignant writhing, Mas. As her sister-in-law, Lily knew she had to obey her husband. But as her friend, Lily really doesn't have the heart."

Ajie pulled up a chair and sat down next to his wife. "Wait a minute, honey! That's not the problem. But this is why... " Ajie looked at the various dishes on the table with a puzzled look.

"So morning Ave posted her morning breakfast and... Zaid liked that post. After that, Ave cooked all of this and photographed it... Then..." Lily looked at her husband with sadness. Unable to continue his words.

"All this? Just for photo posting?" ask Ajie not to believe it.

For the sake of a Zaid, Avelia who was always indifferent to everyone, was willing to do all this?

Ajie gulped. He knows he's guilty. But only this time Ajie knew this mistake was no small one. This was the biggest mistake of his life.
