The Temptation of the Former
The First

Sunday morning, the time when Jihan will be lazing all day. But unlike this morning, he had finished bathing and dressed neatly.

At about seven this morning, Maria called her, Maria invited Jihan to come to her house. Jihan did not expect that Maria would actually call her. Not ready for this, he thought.

Jihan ate her breakfast in a hurry, Mela and Nino to the point of not blinking at how to eat Jihan.

"You eat like being chased by demons, what the hell, how rushed," said Mela.

"I was called by Mr. Johan's mother to come to his house, actually I want to sleep all day," said Jihan then gulped his drink.

"Why do you want to be asked to go there, too" said Nino suddenly.

"It's an order to know!" jihan said annoyed.

"If you visit someone's house, at least you have to bring something" said Mela.

"Bring what? Do we have something for people who have everything" said Jihan, who was done with her breakfast.

"You are this, it's as a courtesy when visiting someone's house .. oh yes, what if you brought Bolu banana that last night aunty made," said Mela.

"It wasn't for Ms. Fada" Jihan said.

"Ah tomorrow will make aunty again .. you just bring it yes," said Mela.

"All right," said Jihan.

"Okay, wait a minute, auntie prepare first," said Mela, then baranjak from sitting without finishing her food first.

Jihan was already in front of the towering high fence. Jihan turned her head, saw the house number listed, and this was the address that Mary gave her.

Jihan moved closer to the tall fence, she reached out her hand to press the bell available there.

Not long after, the security guard on duty came and opened the fence a little.

"Whose looking is it?" ask the security guard.

"I was invited by madam Maria to come here" Jihan told the security guard.

"Please wait a minute, I'll be right back" said the security guard, then went back inside and closed the gate again.

All that for the safety of the Alexander family, not a few who have come and claimed to be a janitor, or an AC repairman.

Soon the security guard came again and let Jihan in.

"Please enter miss, mistress Maria is waiting for the lady in the living room" said the security guard.

"Okay sir, thank you" said Jihan.

Jihan stepped her feet inside, she was more amazed to see the yard is so spacious and very beautiful with various ornamental plants.

The distance between the fence and the house was quite far, about fifty meters. Jihan's feet until sore because of walking, why should she wear high heels at a time like this.

Arriving at the main door, Jihan was immediately startled when maria came to him.

"Eh Jihan, come on in, I've been waiting a long time" said Maria.

"Yes, ma'am, sorry, the road was quite jammed this morning" Jihan said.

"It's okay ... What is it?" maria asked as she looked at the large paper bag in Jihan's hand.

"This banana sponge made by my aunt mistress, please accept it," said Jihan while handing the paper bag to Maria, and immediately accepted happily by Maria.

"Thank you, why bother everything ..mm it smells so good" said Maria.

"Let's come with me, behind yuk, I also cook again loh ... every Sunday I cook alone, Johan just want to eat aunt's food on vacation," said Maria.

"I also love cooking mistresses," Jihan said.

"It's a coincidence then" said Maria.

Jihan was stunned to see Maria's luxury kitchen, equipped with a gold kitchen set added to make the kitchen look more luxurious, far compared to the kitchen at home.

"What would she cook?" ask Jihan.

"Today Johan wants to eat, meat soup, spicy sour nila and chicken butter sauce" said Maria.

"Alright, then I will help you, ma'am" said Jihan.

"Alright, thank you Jihan, today bi Ina is returning to her village, other servants are also busy with their respective duties, fortunately there is you so I have a friend, he said, sorry to be such a hassle" Maria said.

"Don't hesitate madam, hehe," said Jihan.

Jihan looks very dexterous when concocting herbs, Maria hardly touches anything, she just to cut the vegetables only.

Maria was amazed by Jihan's skills in the kitchen, rarely did she find a young woman who would go down to the kitchen like Jihan.

"You are very fast cooking," said Maria when she saw the meat soup was finished in cooking.

"Please try first madam," said Jihan then handed me a bowl containing meat soup is still hot.

Maria began to taste the cuisine of Jihan, her eyes were rounded when she felt the soup of the meat made by Jihan is very good, she did not even stop a bribe.

"How's the madam, yummy?" ask jihan curious.

"Eh to forget .. yes this is very good, I can not stop eating," said Maria.

"Hehe, thank God then" said Jihan.

Johan had just woken up, but the time had already shown at nine in the morning. With a messy appearance and a pillow face, he was about to go down to the kitchen to get mineral water.

Actually in his room there is a refrigerator, but this morning when he woke up, the mineral water stock was exhausted, so he decided to go down.

Under conditions that were not yet one hundred percent normal, he opened the refrigerator and took out mineral water. Without realizing it, Jihan and Maria kept looking at him.

Johan sipped the water until it was almost finished, he immediately stopped his activities when he heard a voice that was not familiar to him.

"Good morning, Mr. Johan," said Jihan, trying to hold back her laughter.

Uhuk.

Johan was choking on the water, as his eyes caught the figure of the woman standing next to his mother.

"Jo .. why the drink can be choked like this," said Maria who has now moved beside Johan, patting Johan's shoulder.

"Why are you here" Johan told Jihan.

"Mother called Jihan here" said Johan's mother.

Jihan no longer answered because it was represented by Johan's mother. Johan only realized if his current appearance is really not good to look at, especially in front of Jihan, how shy Johan, where the perfectionist side when in the office.

This morning he really messed up because last night he could only sleep after finishing some work before the annual camping king group in carried out three more days.

Johan went straight from the kitchen without a word, he was very embarrassed, even just to be heard by Jihan.
