The Between Two Brothers
Elane and Aruna

RR's Meal West End London

Elane opened a box containing all the pastry made. Eagle which includes rarely making pastry from Korea also seemed interested in the dish served by Elane.

"What is Elane? Duh, if Auntie's there already finished!" kekeh Aruna's.

"This is a songpyeon made from rice flour containing matcha, sesame seeds and nuts. Then there is bukkumi made from sweet rice flour filled with sweet beans. The last one is dasik which is suitable to be eaten while drinking tea, made from sesame seeds, rice syrup, honey, rice flour and matcha powder" explained Elane.

"Oh E, mommy so wanted" whine Aruna who was amazed by the work of Elane.

"I'm just representing mom" said Eagle. "I'm a big chip, Elane." The man immediately picked up the three kinds of cakes and started eating them one by one.

Elane looked at Eagle seriously because she was afraid that the food served did not match the man's tongue. It is nothing but being able to work with RR's Meal as part of pastry is a prestige value in itself. In addition to the value of the cooperation contract that can add to its business capital, the name of the Moon pastry will increase even more prestige.

"How about Mr McCloud?" ask Elane.

"You wait here, let me bring it all down. You know my men are all food critics." Eagle composes Elane's bento box and brings it down.

The girl looked confused because she didn't know what to do.

"Elane" call Aruna.

"Eh yes Auntie?" Elane turned to the big screen tv, forgetting that her parents Eagle was still there.

"May Aunt ask about your daily life?" asked Aruna who was feeling anxious with the gentle and polite beautiful girl. If there is a door anywhere Doraemon, I immediately disguise for Eagle deh!

"Boleh Aunty. Ask me what?" Elane sees Rajendra receiving a phone call so leaves Aruna with him.

"Sorry, Oom Jendra is on business so you're just like Auntie ya while waiting for Eagle. What graduates are you?"

"I graduated from a culinary school in London here alone Auntie. Not a prestigious school but a lot of knowledge that I got there apart from my parents" Elane replied with a smile.

"Why choose pastry?"

"I.. do not like fried fry.." said Elane slowly make Aruna laugh.

"Why? Scared oil?"

"To be honest I don't really like to stand in front of a frying pan and stove for long even though I can cook. I prefer to make cakes because on average it is in the oven, distoam and does not even need to be cooked there. So I chose the world of pastry."

"Personal questions. Do you have a boyfriend?" shoot Aruna without a stale base.

Elane lowered her head with a reddened face. "Not yet, Aunt."

"How about you ta'aruf with Eagle?"

Elane looked up at the hijab-wearing woman. "Sorry Aunt, but I've only met Mr. McCloud twice and I... "

Elane smiled sweetly. "Alhamdulillah if Oom and Aunt rate me well. But I do not .. sorry .. have not rushed to think about the household just yet. Sorry, Auntie if I'm a bit open but I want to make my pastry shop even more famous."

"If you and Eagle are together, wouldn't it be a mutual symbiosis?" asked Aruna who was not willing to give up on getting the beautiful girl as a daughter-in-law.

"Tante, once again I'm sorry. I want to work with RR's Meal based on my own efforts. If God willing Mr. McCloud agrees to cooperate with me, there is still homework I have to do, which is to maintain and even improve the quality of my pastry so as not to embarrass the name of RR's Meal." replied Elane straightforwardly.

"Masyaallah." said Aruna who felt Elane was a girl who matched Eagle. This girl has a positive stubbornness and a hardworking type who is independent and professional.

Elane feels bad to see Aruna's face looking disappointed by her subtle rejection but she doesn't want to be judged just for her physical but unrecognized ability. "Tante, I'm sorry if I can't make Auntie..."

"Elane, Auntie understands. Aunt who is too excited. But Elane, if it's a Aunt's son who's asking for forgiveness it's your soul mate, don't be rejected ya.." pinta Aruna.

"God willing Aunt, if Mr. McCloud is indeed the soul mate that Allah SWT has given me, then he is the best for me. If not, then our relationship is limited to coworkers" Elane's smile is sweet. However, I must be realistic because Eagle McCloud is compared to me who is just a pastry maker.

Aruna nodded at the girl's realistic answer. But make no mistake, the prayer of a mother who wants the best daughter-in-law for her child will surely be fulfilled. And I hope you're Eagle's soul mate.

"Lho's mom? Still not done talking?" asked Eagle who saw the two women still chatting.

"Lha you're playing live this beautiful boy! You pity me! You are indeed!" groused Aruna.

"Eh?" Eagle grinned. "Elane, lude!"

"Huh? Finished again?" Elane stared at Eagle in disbelief.

"Yes. Exhausted and all said good fit everything. Jom, you come with Torang to the kitchen to cook" said Eagle with Malay language that makes Elane laugh.

"How many languages can you speak Mr McCloud?" ask Elane.

"Much! Mom, we're going to the kitchen first. Look at Elane making pastry" Eagle's saying to his Mommy.

"OKAY. Don't forget to show off to your Daddy and mommy huh? Elane, Aunt was serious about that." Aruna looked gently at the beautiful girl.

"Serious about what?" eagle asked confusedly.

"Urusan woman. Bye, happy cooking. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

Eagle turned off the tv and his MacBook and turned towards the hijab girl. "What did mommy say?"

Elane's face flushed. "Women's talk as you say."

Eagle blushed his lips. "What a mommy!"

Elane simply glanced at the man next to her.
