The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
First Day of Being a Wife

Early in the morning, Zahira was in the kitchen. No need for the help of others to deliver him to the kitchen because he is no stranger to the luxurious building. From the age of four, he and his two older brothers often play and stay at the house so that the beautiful girl with narrow eyes can easily find out where the kitchen position is. the presence of the girl in the kitchen made the house assistants consisting of two middle-aged women round their eyes perfectly.

"Sir Zahira doesn't bother. Here, let us cook. Bibik is afraid of being caught by Miss Rini. He must be angry that we let Ms. Zahira cook." Bik Ijah tried to remind his master's youngest son-in-law.

"Because ... Auntie. Repot how the hell! This is an easy job that I often do when I am in Japan. Staying away from both parents makes me have to be able to live independently and no longer depend on others. After all, just cooking seafood fried rice complete with cow's eye eggs doesn't make me tired anyway, Bik. I'm sure Mama Rini can't be mad at seeing her daughter-in-law in the kitchen." Zahira chuckled softly as she continued to pour cooking spices into a face of considerable size.

Zahira's hands moved deftly through the cooking. Bik Ijah and Mbak Sar who saw the skill of the girl became amazed, did not expect that the spoiled child Zahira had grown into an independent girl and did not hesitate to be in the kitchen with them. In fact, the social status of the girl with the ART is very far like the earth and sky but the beautiful nosed doctor looks not reluctant to be on one roof with the household assistants.

"Bik Ijah, could you please make a warm drink for Papa and Mama? Let this work be done immediately and we can all have breakfast together" Zahira politely pinta. Not to forget, a sweet smile she gave to the two house assistants.

Unasked for a second time, bik Ijah and mbak Sar rush to make coffee and hot tea favorite of Zahira's in-laws, while the girl is again busy with her work.

After almost an hour of struggling with his work as a wife and daughter-in-law in the family, Zahira finally finished making breakfast for everyone. The girl placed the breakfast menu on the dining table. Seafood fried rice complete with beef eye eggs, tomatoes and cucumber slices are available and ready to eat. White plumes of smoke poured into the air, as if they were waving at anyone who saw them for immediate enjoyment.

Right after all the cooking was on the dining table, a middle-aged couple stepped into the dining room followed by Shaka who followed them behind.

"Ehm .. It looks like our breakfast menu this morning is very special yes, Pa. Look, there's shrimp, sausage, meatballs and beef-eye eggs too. The smell is delicious too. It must taste very good," praised Rini while inhaling the aroma of cooking made by her beloved daughter-in-law. Then, the woman sat down next to Rio and again said, "Mama can't wait to eat all these dishes."

"You're absolutely right, Ma. Papa wants to eat it soon." Rio thrusting an empty plate in front of Rini. "Pour that fried rice for me, Ma. Add a little more than the usual portion."

Seeing her two in-laws so enthusiastically made Zahira's face glow. Sumringah's face with a sweet smile was painted on the corner of the lips. "Thank you for your praise, Mom and Dad. I'm so flattered to hear that."

Rini glanced at Shaka who was still flinching on the spot. From earlier the child continued to silence as if reluctant to participate in the conversation. "Son, prepare the seat next to you for Zahira. Starting this morning we'll have breakfast together as a family."

Shaka let out a long sigh, then got up from the chair and pulled out an empty chair next to him until a throbbing sound echoed through the room. "Sit, Ra. We'll start breakfast together."

"Yes, Ka." Zahira nodded obediently in response to Shaka's words. For the first time Zahira sat next to Shaka as the wife of the man, while Rini sat opposite Shaka and Rio sat in the middle seat as the head of the family.

"Yes, we should eat now while the cooking is still warm. If it's cold it's not good to eat," said Rini who invited everyone to breakfast.

Everyone who was there nodded their heads in agreement with what Rini said. Then, Zahira poured fried rice and side dishes for the husband, after which just poured food for him. Every move of the girl's movements did not escape the sight of a middle-aged husband and wife.

I hope this is a good first step for my son and daughter-in-law in sailing the household ark. Hopefully their long match and no storm surge that makes the ship Shaka shipwreck while sailing. I don't think I can hold my head up in front of Arumi and Rayyan until their households are destroyed by the stupidity of my youngest child. I really can't, God. Rini said in her heart, conveying her heart without wanting to be known by anyone.

Rini's guts were caught by Rio's eyes. As if knowing the turmoil in the chest of the wife, she reached out her left hand to cupper Rini's hand on the dining table. The two men looked at each other. The famous lawyer who was a friend of Zahira's father smiled as if to tell her that everything would be fine.

Eventually, Shaka's voice breaks the silence. "Pa, Mama. I just got word that the apartment I bought is ready to be occupied. So, chances are this afternoon Zahira and I will move out of here. However, before that I will take Zahira to Mother Arumi's house first, carrying Zahira's belongings. After that, we continue on our way."

Shaka's decision to move immediately to the apartment is quite surprising to Rini as well as Rio. However, Arumi's best friend is still unsure that her youngest child will be able to easily accept Zahira as a part of the man's life. Afraid that Shaka will act khilaf and even hurt the feelings of his favorite daughter-in-law.

"Why not wait another month or two, Ka? This house is quite spacious if only lived by Mama and Papa. Even if Beautiful and Nice visit us, this house can still accommodate you both," said Rini expressed her opinion.

"I want to live the household life alone with Zahira without any interference from anyone, Ma. If we stay here then forever Rara and I cannot be independent, make our own decisions. I. .. don't want it to happen." Shaka let out a deep breath, then looked at Zahira who was still feeding food into the mouth. "Again, I told Rara that we would move soon and she agreed with my decision. Don't you, Ra?"

Zahira looked up his head, then replied, "Right, Pa, Ma. I will accept whatever Shaka thinks is good for us."

"But-"

Uncompleted Rini said her sentence, Rio's baritone voice echoed to the point of bringing the middle-aged woman to a halt.

"We will always support your decision. Later Papa will find a domestic assistant to relieve Zahira's domestic work," said Rio firmly.

"Thank you, Pa, Ma. I will arrange a time to stay here and Mother Arumi's house so that you two do not feel lonely. So, neither Mama nor Mama Arumi are envious because we can visit you in turn."

"You just set how good it is," Rio said as he stared at the newlyweds in turn. There is a sense of pride because now Shaka has begun to mature to deal with problems that may occur in their household. "Ka, please take good care of Zahira. From today on he is your responsibility. Be happy and never hurt her! Remember that, son."

Shaka nodded his head, while Rini seemed to wipe the end of her watery eyes.
