The Neglected Angel
Chapter 21. Andromeda Cuisine

Chapter 21

After finishing teaching at the campus, Andromeda went to one of his restaurants. Although there were several chefs working for him, he still took the time to make food for his customers. He used to go to college in England, so he knows a lot about European food. However, in recent years he has learned a lot about cooking Nusantara cuisine. Especially if it's not for Cantika. The woman's family prefers Indonesian cuisine over western food. He also accidentally opened a special restaurant that provides Nusantara cuisine. It turns out that this restaurant is very crowded many who like the typical cuisine of the country. Coupled with traditional decorations add more value to the people coming there.

His mind branched between cooking and his wife. Although she did not love Aisyah, at least she did not want to complicate the woman's life. However, what he did instead made the woman angry. 

'She's a stupid woman, huh? I've been kind enough not to forbid him if he'll come back to his ex. But what did I get from him? Slap. How dare he expose me. I made it hard for her life to know how she feels!'

Andromeda's mind raged. He thought that no one would feel harmed in this marriage of theirs, neither himself nor Aisha.

'Is that woman starting to like me, huh?' 

Andromeda was too confident that he was attractive in Aisyah's eyes. This is because when he woke up his wife suddenly kissed his lips.

'Akh, why am I thinking of her kiss?'

The man tried to refocus on his cooking. He did not want to think about the woman who was carrying his child, the food he destroyed.

"Sir, employee of PT. The space has already bocked a place in the right-wing space number two it has come. To fifteen people" said the head manager there.

"I've finished making some menu orders for them" said Andromeda while showing five types of dishes according to their subscription order.

"Waw, Mr. Andro is great! Can make a lot of dishes in a short time," praised the manager with a sweet smile etched on his face.

"Of course I was helped by others" Andromeda replied flatly.

'I hope it wasn't a mistake in my cooking. This is because of that Aisyah!' 

Andromeda saw all the appearance of the cuisine he made earlier look appetizing. All this time he never daydreamed or thought about anything else while cooking. However, today his mind was muddled, because of his wife.

Once back home it was very quiet and dark, even Aisyah's room which was near the dining room and kitchen was dark. However, the front door of the house is not locked, indicating that there are people in the house.

Andromeda's hand opened Ayesha's dark bedroom door. There was only a dim light from the window that had not been closed. So he pressed the light switch and in an instant the room was bright.

Aisyah was sitting asleep on the sofa holding a pencil and a notebook. Andromeda approached him to wake the woman up. By accident his eyes saw the graffiti of his wife's hand that wrote many names there, even his name was also there.

'Why is my name circled?'

Andromeda looked at the notes that Ayesha made and read all the names that were there. He knew those names were people who went with KKN with him.

'What's wrong with me? Why is it that only my own name is circled?'

Ayesha who was asleep felt the smell of Andromeda's body. His eyes immediately widened when he realized he was in the arms of the husband.

"Yeah. What are you doing?" aisyah shouted, but her hands were gripping Andromeda's shirt.

"Move you who are asleep while sitting down. That's bad for the fetus that's in your belly" Andromeda replied in a cold tone.

Aisyah looked at the clock on the wall which was almost seven o'clock in the evening. The more his eyes widened.

"I haven't prayed magrib!" yelling pregnant mom.

Of course Andromeda scolded or rather mocked Aisyah who the sleepyhead did not know the time. The man's words kept coming out of his mouth, but Aisha paid him no heed. He hurried to pray while there was still time.

"You haven't eaten yet?" andromeda asked as soon as Aisyah came out of the room.

"It's about to eat" answered Aisha, because she remembered that she was with a man standing at the door of the room.

"I've cooked. Eat that! I don't want my child-to-be to be malnourished because you carelessly eat" Andromeda ordered, and that surprised Aisyah.

'Could he cook?' (Disha)

The woman did not know that her husband was good at cooking and had several restaurants. Aisyah saw there was one plate of sauteed broccoli mixed with chicken, mushrooms, and carrots.

"What a son!" Aisyah wanted to ask for the recipe, but the husband was no longer there.

"I didn't think she cooked so well. It's only fitting that he didn't want to eat my cooking. It turns out that he has a high taste," said Aisyah monologue.

"Trainer, may I ask you a favor?" 

Andromeda called his sister-in-law. He would not have to ask for his help.

^^^"What rock?" ^^^

"You know that there used to be someone who trapped Aisyah and me using war medicine_sang. It seemed like Aisyah suspected that one of the people in the villa that night was one of the culprits."

^^^"Do you have anyone you suspect and have any evidence to uncover the truth of what happened that night?"^^^

"At least I suspect 12. There were 9 students, 1 supervising lecturer, and 2 villa administrators."

^^^"You immediately ask for help from the family security team of the Judge. I'm busy."^^^

"Does Zahra still force you to marry Mentari?"

Andromeda chuckled in light of the events on her wedding day yesterday. How Mentari often escapes away from Zahra which forces her to become her honey.

^^^"It's none of your business. There will be times when you cannot resist the wishes of someone who means something to you. So do I. Even if I don't want to get married again, for Zahra's sake I'll do whatever it is."^^^

Andromeda laughed and mocked Fatih who he thought was flaccid when it came to Zahra. Even the man was willing to leave the company and live abroad for the health of his wife.

^^^"Now you can laugh at me, tomorrow it is your turn to do anything for Aisha. Even the thing that you think is so crazy right now, you're going to do that crazy thing!"^^^

"Eitherway. It seems I won't be up to doing that. Because I'm not the one who's gonna do everything for the wife."

^^^"Oh. We'll see later! If that happens, then I'll laugh at you to the point of satisfaction. And it looks like Alex will also be happy to see you're so cute to a woman."^^^

Hearing Alex's name upset Andromeda. He immediately hung up his phone.

"Look at. I will prove that I will never be like those of you who want to be conquered by women" muttered Andromeda monologue.

Who would know better the mastermind of that night, Andromeda or Aisha? 🤔. Will Andromeda be consumed by his own nonsense? 😁 Wait for the continuation, yes!
