Naya tidied up the equipment she had just used to perform the Fajr prayer.
While waiting for Kei who had not returned from the surau next to his house, Naya came out of her bedroom. The girl immediately swung her legs, stepping towards the kitchen.
Although not really hoping to find something that can be cooked, but Naya still approached a refrigerator that is large enough in the corner of the kitchen, close to the kitchen set. It looks like it's new.
When opening the refrigerator, Naya's eyes immediately rounded perfectly. The rectangular object is full of various ingredients, ranging from beef and fresh freshwater fish to a variety of fruits and vegetables. Even Naya also found a variety of culinary spices and there are also some ingredients and packaged foods such as oatmeal, yogurt and coconut milk there. Waw! This is the intention bet.
Although a little surprised and with a head filled with various questions, Naya still issued some ingredients that can be formulated. He plans to make a simple breakfast for her and Kei.
Not finished arranging two breakfast bowls on the dining table, Naya shrank in shock when she felt a pair of muscular arms perched up and hugged her waist. A bowl of fruit salad still in Naya's hand almost fell if the girl did not tighten her grip on the edge of the serving bowl.
After successfully putting the bowl well, Naya directly hit the small hand that was currently already curled sweetly at her waist. Although still turned his back, but Naya knew for sure who was this early had been exploring it.
The smell of mint that was soft and the warm gusts on her nape convinced Naya who the owner of the arm was.
Kei chuckled as he received a blow from the wife's tiny hand without even loosening the hilt of his hand on Naya's waist.
"Who's wife, this early in the morning in the kitchen?" Kei deliberately whispered a small whisper in Naya's ear by sticking his lips there.
Naya tries to stretch her body from Kei by bending her body while covering both ears. However Kei followed his bending movements so that their bodies were getting clinging tighter.
"Nobody's wife!" Naya exclaimed loudly with a bent face.
"Morning is forbidden to be angry, princess. Especially during the day, bet is prohibited". Kei still whispered a little while lifting Naya's stumped body.
Naya who was not ready, was forced to willingly let her body float carried by Kei.
Kei who did not feel the signal of rejection from the girl in his carrier, smiled slightly as he planted a warm kiss on the top of Naya's head.
"Yuk, breakfast first. Brother was hungry from dawn" said Kei, sitting Naya on the dining table chair, and immediately took his own position in front of the girl.
"Mhmm, the cake is really good, huh..." Kei directly reached out to the bowl containing the fruit salad in front of him.
"No! That's mine, not yours!" Naya exclaimed as she tried to block Kei's outstretched hand from reaching for the bowl of fruit salad that Naya had intended for her.
But alas, Naya's small hand lost quickly to Kei. The man had already managed to move the bowl of fruit salad to his left hand.
Naya glared in annoyance as she continued to try to reclaim the fruit salad bowl from Kei's hands. Though earlier he deliberately made oatmeal mixed fruits for Kei and fruit salad for himself because he did not like oatmeal mixed fruit.
Although he had studied abroad for many years, but his tongue still felt strange when it came to combining the processed wheat seeds and fruit in one flavor chew. Hence Naya prefers fruit salad for her breakfast.
Kei held back a laugh seeing Naya who was still frowning annoyed.
"Well, you're angry. Nih brother balikin" said Kei by returning the bowl of fruit salad in front of Naya.
"Do you want to share with your brother? Though my brother was also wanting to eat fruit salad", regret Kei lirih while reaching for a bowl of oatmeal mixed with fruits that had been in front of him.
Naya slightly raised her head, staring at Kei in silence. For some reason, suddenly there was a pinch of guilt in his heart. Why just because of the food problem, he had to ruin the atmosphere this morning?
"Nay, Brother Ifah understands that Nay has been very patient all this time. But ifah will still ask Nay to be a little more patient, huh? Kei is sometimes pretentious, but more often like a child. But that only applies to those whom he loves and considers close."
"Mama is sure Nay is able to return her Kei mama, Kei all of us. Please be more patient, son? Mama knows Kei's happiness is with Nay".
Naya sighed a little longer by bowing her head, trying to disguise it from Kei. Then in a slow motion, Naya pushed the fruit salad bowl in front of her in front of Kei while displaying a smile typical of her dimples.
"Nih, brother Silah ate Nay fruit salad. Can Nay ask for one with a brother?" Naya glanced at the oatmeal bowl mixed with fruit in front of her husband.
"Everyone who has that, has Nay too." Kei grinned mischievously by blinking his eyes and slashing his oatmeal bowl in front of Naya.
Naya rolled her eyeballs, lazy to hear Kei's rumble. Slowly he began to eat the oatmeal in front of him. Naya struggled a little harder to swallow the oatmeal mixed with fruit that had entered her mouth with only one or two chews.
"Assalamualaikum", a greeting from the front door paused their breakfast activities.
Naya suddenly put the spoon she was holding. The familiar voice of greeting. It feels like I miss that sound so much when I just did not see it for two days.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, Mak Madah?!" Naya exclaimed as she rushed over, half running towards the front door. When opening the door, the old woman who had been with him for five years stood up with a sincere smile.
"Nay misses very much. Mak where have you been? Only until here has it disappeared immediately", his curls softly while writhing spoiled on the arms of mak Medah like a child to his mother.
Mak Madah who saw the shadow of Kei in the dining room, a little hesitant with the treatment of the favorite daughter-in-law of Puan Sri Latifah.
Five years in the region of people, away from close family makes the relationship Naya and mak Madah no longer like the relationship of employers and payday people, but already like family.
In order to relieve her sense of uneasiness and awkwardness with Naya's treatment before Kei, mak Madah distracts the girl by moving the tip of her eyes, glancing towards Kei who is still continuing his breakfast.
The lips of mak Madah move slowly stringing question sentences in samar. Master Kei?
Naya answered in silence, nodding her head slowly.
Mak Medah smiled sumringah with her old eyes winking flirtatiously, teasing Naya.
Naya turned her face that was met with red. The girl chose to return to the dining table, accompanied by Madah.
Although it occurred to not continue eating, but Naya still sat in front of Kei, intending to accompany her husband until the end of breakfast.
"Assalamualaikum, good morning sir?" Mak Madah greeted Kei who was having breakfast with the device in his left hand.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, morning mak." Kei answered without looking. His hands were busy on his keyboard. It looks like he's writing a message.
"Mother want breakfast? Nay make fruit salad, huh? Nay hasn't had time to cook..." Naya got up from her seat about to go to the kitchen.
Mak Medah held her hand while shaking strongly.
"No, mrs. You know, Mom can eat such fruits. Fear of stomach pain. Moreover, for mak if you have not eaten rice, it means you have not eaten. Understand the taste of kampong! " Mak Madah laughed a little and passed away leaving the dining room towards the kitchen.
At the dawn prayer, Mak Madah met Kei in Surau. The family's crown prince, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid, asked him to accompany Naya at home because Kei had to meet a friend this morning.
Although heavy, Naya finally tried to continue her breakfast spoonful after spoonful. Swallow without much chewing.
The tone of the call tetiba barked loudly from the Kei device. Without seeing who the caller was, Kei who had just finished sending a long message to Andrian, picked it up.
"Hallo, by. Why is your phone not active since yesterday? I miss ..." Kei immediately moved away from the dining table once he realized who the caller was. Nadias!
Naya is sitting. These few hours he thought he was in wonderland, a world that felt beautiful full of wonders.
But Naya was wrong! He was in neverland, a world of mirages, which he never had!
Nadia's phone just threw Naya back into the real world. The girl slowly got up from her seat, walking in a stifling fret.
