The Unexpected Wife
PORRIDGE FOR NAYA

"Oh my God, why is it so hot."

"Naya, wake up Naya." Lio shook Naya's body.

Naya brushed off Lio's hand, feeling disturbed, she muttered softly outside her consciousness, "Mother, father, Naya is sick, Naya butu is father and mother."

Lio felt more guilty especially Naya mentioned the names of her father and mother, "What I have done, even though I have promised her parents to take care of Naya, and I even hurt her."

"I'm sorry Nay, I'm sorry." Naya's hand, "Gue will make amends." he promised.

Lio went down to the kitchen, the goal was to make Naya porridge, she could have asked for help either Wati or bi Darmi, but her guilt caused her to want to make it herself, maybe it could make up for his guilt.

The sound of clanging could be heard from the kitchen, luring people to see what was going on in the kitchen.

"Lio." scolded his mother, he did not expect that his son was the one who made the kitchen noise this early in the morning, "What are you doing this early in the morning in the kitchen."

But Lio did not look at all, he focused on doing his activities.

"Lio." Renata's voice was more tight because he was ignored by his son.

"Ohh ma, don't grekokin Lio deh, mama don't see Lio busy cooking porridge."

"You make porridge, what Lio's for, we have helpers, why don't you just tell them to."

A moment Lio stopped his hand stirring the paned porridge, looking at his mother, "I make porridge for Naya ma, she is sick."

"You have to do it, why not ask for Wati or bi Darmi."

"I myself who want ma, Naya that's not my wife mbak Wati or bi Darmi." alibi because it is impossible to say the cause of Naya's pain is her.

"Lio cooks himself for the village girl, has my son started to like the village girl." said Renata.

Mama Renata approached her only son, looking at Lio in full search, hoping that what she thought was not right.

"Why mommy thinks I'm so, there's nothing weird about a husband cooking for his wife."

"You're starting to like the village girl." shoot Renata to voice what she thinks and ignore Lio's words.

"No." replied Lio briefly without thinking.

"You really don't like it, so why does your attitude show otherwise" asked Renata in disbelief.

"This I do because I made Naya sick like this ma, this is one way to make up for my mistakes." she replied in her heart, saying, "Ma, make porridge does not mean I like it, mau, this is just a form of concern for me just like Naya who is sick, during this time she is always cooking for us."

"Hmm, it's good that it is." muttered Renata relieved to hear his son's answer, well he did hope that someday Lio and Naya separated, Renata embarrassed to have a daughter-in-law village girl, she did not want a girl like Naya who would give birth to the successor of the Rashad family.

After getting the answer she wanted, Renata passed from the kitchen letting her son be busy himself.

Before long, it was the turn of bi Darmi and Mbak Wati who went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the Rashad family, they were as shocked as Renata when he saw young master Rasyad was busy stirring something panned.

"Sir, what are you doing." Wati walked up to his master.

"Make porridge for Naya, she's sick again."

"Young lady is sick sir, my God, why can young lady be sick."

"Naya hurts because of me." he replied inwardly, he replied in the mouth, "Hmm yes can, Nayakan man."

"That's so sorry Miss Naya."

"Sir, let me continue stirring the porridge." mbak Wati wanted to take over because it was his duty.

"Don't mbak, this is also soon to be finished." declined Lio.

After moving the porridge to the bowl and taking the heat-lowering medicine that was placed on the tray beside the bowl, Lio prepared to return to the room, but before that he ordered the same two ARTnya who were now starting to busy preparing breakfast.

"Bi Darmi and Mbak Wati, please do settle the kitchen that is a mess because of my actions."

"Good sir."

After the departure of their young master, bi Darmi approached Mbak Wati, "Sweet sir yes, sir seems to really love Miss Naya." comment bi Darmi saw his young master willing to intervene himself to make porridge for Naya who was sick.

"Yes bi, lucky miss Naya has a husband who loves her so, I became envious." said Wati.

Such is the case of man, who likes to draw conclusions from what he sees without knowing what really happened.

"Naya, let's get up." No response.

Naya's face was pale with whitened lips.

"Sinya." Lio nodded a little harder.

Naya squirmed, her eyelids moving before opening slowly.

"Look get up first, eat the porridge and take medicine to get the heat down."

"Hmm."

Naya is indeed a good girl, the proof is that even though Lio has hurt her heart and physicality, she is still obedient, she is trying to wake up, but her weak body condition makes it a bit difficult to sit her body, and her body is still, seeing the exhausted Naya, Lio swiftly helped Naya and helped Naya lean against the bed, "Eat the porridge first."

Lio then took out a bowl of porridge, and unexpectedly she aimed the spoon filled with porridge at Naya's mouth. Understand, people who feel guilty do anything to make up for the mistakes they make.

"Yetoo."

Naya frowned at Lio's behavior that changed very quickly, but last night she was forced to pull, snapped, underlined until something happened that she did not want to remember.

"Look open his mouth." Lio's command saw Naya just looking at him with a look of wonder, Lio understood why Naya was looking at him like that, Lio was sure, Naya must be confused by the change in her attitude.

"Nayy, why even bengong so, let's open his mouth."

"Mas Lio, I can do it." Naya is a bit strange too sieh saw her husband acting so sweet.

Naya tries to grab the spoon and bowl of porridge from Lio's hand, but Lio keeps it out of Naya's reach, "Lo's sick again Nay, let me take a bribe."

"But I can still eat myself a mas even though I'm sick."

"Have not ngeyel, let me bribe." Lio sternly.

Naya sighed resignedly letting Lio bribe her.

Naya tried to chew even though it felt very difficult to swallow.

"Where, make it up." asked Lio expectantly hoping that Naya would praise her cooking.

"Hambar mas." answered Naya as it is, besides the pure porridge is bland, because the middle of pain makes whatever is tasted by the tongue feels bitter, and it further aggravates the taste of the artificial porridge Lio.

Though Lio was going to say 'That's me cooking, ' but since his cooking instead of getting compliments was even denounced, he so undo his intentions, instead he said, "Yes it's natural to feel bland, you're sick again, so whatever you eat will feel bland."

Lio again directed the spoon to Naya's lips, but was rejected by Naya, "It's already a mas."

"Look Naya finish the porridge, after that take medicine and rest so that you recover quickly."

"But not good mas, Naya is difficult to nelennya." maybe because innately sick, unconsciously Naya act spoiled.

Lio patiently persuaded, "Yes it's not good, but it's for your recovery."

"Hmmm, but..."

"Aaa, let's open Naya's mouth, the plane is about to land."

Perhaps because he treated it so attentively that Naya let go and opened her lips and unknowingly was now the last bribe.

"Smart girl." Lio's reflexes stroked the top of Naya's head.

Her name was also a woman who had a soft heart, moreover Naya, Lio's treatment just now had miraculously made her forget about Lio's harsh treatment overnight, replaced with a sense of haru.

"Now take the medicine."

Lio took a heat-lowering drug handing it to Naya who was swallowed by Naya, and then Lio gave water to ease the process of entry of the drug.

Naya curled her tongue, "Pahit." She drank as much water as she could to remove the bitter taste left on her tongue.

"The name is also medicine, if sweet is candy."
