The Bitter Sweet Marriage
Chapter 25 - A reply from Adam

Time has shown at 17:00. It's time for Hana to come home. Before returning home Hana finished a bit of the work that was supposed to be done for tomorrow. Done that, Hana quit the company and waited for the online motorcycle he ordered to come.

Inside the building, precisely in front of the receptionist, Candra saw Hana who was standing up somehow waiting for what. Somehow this time he was very curious about what Hana did.

Shortly after, the motorcycle taxi Hana ordered came, he immediately put on a helmet and rode on the bike. This did not escape Candra's vision.

"Did he go to work every day on an online motorcycle?" candra gumam.

"Have it, let it go, anyway if she doesn't dress up, people won't know she's my wife" Candra murmured again.

Candra's headed to the basement. He got into his car and drove the car to his house.

Arriving at home, Candra heard a noise from the kitchen. When she approached, Hana was cooking.

"You've come home" Hana said with a slight smile on her lips.

But that thin smile was only answered by a nod by Candra. Then Candra walked into her room. He took off all the clothes he was wearing and rushed to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he returned to the kitchen to drink water. His eyes were fixed on the chicken gulai on the dining table. His mouth rattled, as if he wanted to taste the food. But his heart said something else. Prestigious dong if he eats Hana's cooking secretly, later Hana can mock him.

Hana suddenly appears again in the kitchen. He's out of nowhere. Hana took the plate and intended to eat. Seeing Candra who was still in the kitchen, Hana kindly invited Candra to eat with her.

"You've eaten? If not, will you eat with me? I cooked chicken gulai. I don't know what it's like, 'cause when I was cooking, I didn't get to taste it."

Getting an offer from Hana, Candra did not want to waste it. Moreover, his stomach was already hungry, and the smell of Hana's cooking so filled his sense of smell and so moved his eyes. Candra sat down. This made Hana happy. Because little by little Candra's heart began to soften and she wanted to eat her cooking.

"Will it be a lot or a little?" ask Hana.

"You're about eating too fast. Just get it to bother!" candra said with sewot.

"Yes sorry, I'm afraid you'll have a lack or excess of food" Hana responded.

"It's all business later."

Hana took a lot of rice for Candra, she also poured the gulai sauce until the rice for Candra was bathed by the sauce.

Both of them ate quietly at the dining table. Hana actually wanted to invite Candra to chat, only she was afraid that it would even interfere with Candra's mood when eating.

When the meal was over, Hana poured water into Candra's glass. He also asked how the cuisine there is Candra.

"Is my cooking good?" hana asked curious about Candra's opinion.

"It's normal" replied Candra.

Though in his heart, Hana cuisine is a cuisine that is able to make his appetite increase. After that, Candra returned to her room leaving Hana alone there.

"It's okay Hana. That means you have to be more diligent in learning to cook. Little by little Candra will compliment you and say your cooking is delicious and she will continue to ask you to cook for her" Hana said.

The next day, Abraham receives an email from Adam, his old friend. How happy his heart was then. He opened the message and read it.

Hi also Abra, I'm fine.

Of course I still remember you, you are one of my best friends. How could I forget you?

Now that I live alone, my family is no more. Just the business I have. But since you said there are people who have names like my son's, I wonder. Maybe in a month I'll come to your house. See you next month.

After reading Adam's reply, Abraham was a little surprised.

"What exactly did Adam mean? Living alone? That doesn't mean his wife and kids are dead, does it? What exactly happened to you Dam, to the point that you moved to country C? All right, I'll wait for you in a month."

Then Abraham went to the dining room to have breakfast with his wife.

In between breakfast, Abraham asked his wife.

"Do you remember Adam and his wife and their daughter?"

"Yes I remember them. Indeed why? Don't you usually ask about it? Is there something you think pa?"

"I don't really know for sure. But ever since I met Hana, and I know her full name. I always remember Adam and their daughter. I don't know why I'm so sure Hana's Adam's son. However, in retrospect, my best friend is not a bad person who likes to abandon his child. I was confused" replied Abraham.

"Here you go, don't think too much. If Hannah were not the son of Adam. We must love him because he is our son-in-law. After all, Hana is a good woman, very different from her former lover Candra. If Hana was Adam's son, there must be a reason why Hana could be in the orphanage. Most importantly now, papa don't mind much."

Hearing his wife's answer, Abraham became a little more relieved to have poured out the burden of his mind that he initially wanted to be alone.

After the breakfast was over, Abraham entered his study again. He does his work from home.

While Dona, he calls his favorite son-in-law before his daughter-in-law leaves for work.

"Hello baby, have you had breakfast?" ask Dona.

"Yes, I just finished breakfast with Candra" replied Hana.

"You're not lying, are you? Just to make your mom happy?" ask the unbelieving Dona.

"No ma, I'm really telling you the truth. Candra and I had breakfast together" said Hana reassuringly.

"All right, mom believes. Hearing this, I'm sure slowly Candra will like you Hana. Hold on, don't give up! That's just my mom's request."

"I can't promise ma, but I'll try. Then it's old, ma, I want to go to work. Always take care of your health. Oh, my mama."

The phone connection ended. Dona was really looking forward to her son's domestic life and her son-in-law ending happily even though it was originally a compulsion.
