Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 25

If only Melati sharpened her hearing, of course, she felt strange with the words of Azein who seemed possessive of her. But what he thought was his fatigue and he ignored Azein and cooled him down.

"Why not from earlier. Do what you want." Melati left Azein just like that. While Azein just shook his head and continued his activities.

Azein returned with a lot of groceries in his hand. He came back and put it in the car. Looked at Jasmine's face. Beautiful becomes very natural along with the wear and tear of her thin makeup. Well, it's worth it the day starts getting late.

Long enough Azein looked at the face of ayu Jasmine, but immediately he realized and wore his own seatbelt. He also looked to the side, which turned out that Melati was still not wearing a seatbelt. Azein took the initiative to dress it up.

Melati like feeling a breath that hit her face, she was a little disturbed because of it. He opened his eyes and saw the handsome face of Azein so close. The embassy is locked in that view.

Hachim. Azein reflexes also away from Melati's face. Actually Melati just made up sneezing like that. Both of them became awkward, actually far from the bottom of their hearts. They enjoyed the view in front of their faces. They also really admire each other for the two.

"Why.why.., were you so close to me?" Jasmine asked doubtfully and embarrassedly as well.

"Em, it's because you're asleep I can't wake you up to put that seatbelt on." Glance at the direction of the seat belt that is still not installed.

Jasmine followed the direction of Azein's view, she set it up herself and breathed. Then throw your face towards the car window.

Azein started his car engine and passed from there. He glanced at Melati who was staring at the crowd of the city.

"Ehm, can you show me where your house is?"

Melati turned her head, only to realize that the direction to her apartment was wrong. They should turn around. He stared doubtfully at Azein, he became uneasy.

"Em, sorry Brother. But we have to turn around, sorry I didn't tell you that." Melati lowered her head and squeezed the end of her clothes.

Azein turned his head and sighed, but what would he say himself who offered even promised to deliver Melati. But his little heart was also delighted, with this he had plenty of time to approach Melati.

"Well show me where it's going.."

As per Melati's request, Azein turned around and went towards Melati's apartment.

***

Melati was grateful when she came home she found Lulu holding Asyifa. He was very happy because of that, all night he worried about both of them who never came home.

"Sir, thank goodness you're home. Do you know I'm so worried about you?, where have you been?, why didn't you call me if you didn't come home?, did you know I was so lonely?.." Said Melati as soon as she arrived, and immediately sat beside Lulu after putting her groceries.

Lulu smiled in the rain of questions. He himself felt guilty actually for forgetting to tell Melati.

"Sorry Mel, there's something I didn't come home to yesterday. But now look, I'm fine."

Melati hugged Lulu like a sister. The temperament possessed by Lulu made her comfortable. Plus Ashifa. In the depths of his heart he also wanted Lulu to be his real Sister-in-law.

"Oh yeah, have you eaten?" Melati looked at Lulu and Asyifa.

"Yet, you haven't, have you?"

"Hehe, yes Brother yes I've gone yes.."

Lulu prevents Melati from getting up from her seat. "Let Brother alone make food for you."

"No need Brother, look at Asyifa she needs you so much" Melati smiled and passed from Lulu.

Melati opened the materials she had bought. Instantly he was surprised and patted his head. Why did he not pay attention to his shopping with Azein. Now he had to how, the one in front of him was now Azein's groceries.

He did not have Azein's mobile number. All the ingredients before him were now ingredients for making bread. Jasmine itself actually can not make a dough of flour and eggs.

He became ashamed of himself for having to ask Lulu for help. But how else, if returned he did not know Azein's mobile number. Melati decides to ask Lulu for help. Melati hopes she meets with Azein because later she will replace all.

"Well, what's wrong with Mel?" Speak softly Lulu.

"Em so, can you help me." Melati hid her face and rubbed her nape.

Lulu smiled, she knew what Melati meant. "Alright come.."

Melati and Lulu together went towards the kitchen. Lulu was stunned to see Melati's groceries. The materials on the table weren't still in the closet.

"You bought all this Mel?"

"Yes Brother."

"But isn't it all still in the closet?, you see." Lulu opened one of the cabinets there, and showed me all the exact same ingredients that Melati was carrying.

"What do you really want to do?" Lulu asked.

"Em that's Brother. Actually, my groceries were switched, I don't know how to return them because I don't have the HP number." Melati grimaced and rubbed her nape.

Lulu smiled and chose the ingredients she needed, "You like pancakes?"

"Yes Brother," Melati nodded. He himself focused on what Lulu was doing.

"I'll make it for you."

Melati was happy and she could learn how to make pancakes. While he was at home, he was rarely in the kitchen. Because there is Mina he is still awkward even though now their relationship has improved.

***

A week passed, Melati was reunited with Azein at Aaz's house. Only then did he remember that Azein and Aaz were brothers.

Azein continued to stare at Melati who was making a statue from clay. Seeing Melati who was alone made Azein approach her beside her house. Aaz was at home to pick up a snack.

"Ehm,"

From his voice, Melati knew who it was. But he was reluctant to turn his head, he continued his activities.

"What are you doing?" Azein asked sitting beside Melati.

Sontak Melati slightly shifted her body, keeping a distance with Azein. "Can't you see or don't know his name?" Melati said without looking at Azein.

Azein smiled faintly, "Alright, what did you make it for?"

Melati looked at the face of the man beside her, sniffing both of her shoulders. Then continue his activities.

"If you don't know, why did you make it?" Azein frowned looking at the astonished Melati.

"Aaz asked for it."

Azein raised both eyebrows. Then his mind turned to Aaz's room. Aaz does love to collect crafts from clay. He nodded and looked at Melati.

"May I help you?" Ask Azein.

"Please. Look!, it's Aaz's got it done." Lifting his chin towards the clay that was not yet fully finished.

"What was it made of?" Azein approached what Melati meant. And snail the clay that's in a small bucket.

"Follow me!"
