After closing the door, Nanda rushed back into her luxurious new room. Repeatedly Nanda was amazed to admire the beauty of his luxurious room. A large and spacious room, a large and comfortable bed, a large wardrobe and a very clean bathroom really make him unable to stop thanking God. Nanda's sweet fluffy smile filled her pretty face.
After being satisfied to enjoy the beauty of his room, Nanda went out of the room and intended to see the whole room of the house.
"Waaawww.." Nanda's soft voice was spoken as she walked through the whole room of Alvin's house. A luxurious house with marble floors and furniture all luxurious and of course expensive, shows a very classy impression for the owner.
Nanda is now heading to his favorite room, the kitchen. His eyes are spoiled with the beauty of the kitchen layout equipped with furniture and complete kitchen equipment makes himself as if he was lulled by the beauty of it. Nanda was very curious about the contents of the large and sturdy refrigerator located in the corner of the kitchen. Quickly his hand immediately pulled the handle of the refrigerator.
How surprised Nanda was when it turned out that his eyes saw the pile after pile of food stuff that filled the refrigerator. Starting from beef and chicken that have been frozen in the freezer, instant processed food ingredients, salmon that has been fillet, etc, fresh shrimp neatly arranged in a plastic box and a variety of vegetables and fruits are available there. Even small meals, cakes and various types of soft drinks also look neatly arranged on the shelf. Alvin seems to have prepared everything well.
Seeing the many food ingredients available in the refrigerator, Nanda's desire to cook was immediately appeared. Moreover, if he does not want to cook, later in the afternoon he himself will also have difficulty overcoming his starving stomach.
Nanda deftly began to wear apron clothes and prepare foodstuffs that he would cook. Nanda was really excited to cook that day. Moreover, cooking is an activity that he often did in his old home. Since his mother was sick, Nandalah in charge of cooking food to eat he with his parents.
"Oia, how are mom and dad? Who replaced me with cooking? Could it be dad? Ah, I better cook it while calling mom" Nanda put earphones into her phone and immediately banned her mobile number. Number connected. Although while calling, Nanda's hand still deftly started cooking activities.
[ Hello... ]
there was the voice of a middle-aged woman from across the country. The voice that Nanda knew and missed so much. Nanda's smile instantly flashed wide across his face.
[ Ibuuu.] Screeched Nanda.
[ Nanda... How are you, son? ]
[Nanda is fine. Mom and Dad, how are you? How's mom's condition? ]
[Mom's condition has improved, son. The big madam was really very nice. My mother was given very good care. Mom's chest is good. It rarely hurts. And I can also cook food for your father ]
[Oah? Mercifully... Nanda was happy to hear it ]
without feeling two clear circles just escaped from the beautiful eyes of Nanda. His heart was deeply moved to hear the words of his mother who was pleased. The sacrifices he made were not in vain. Oma Ana really kept her promise.
[Oia Nanda, your father is now transferred to a branch office not too far from home. The big lady also gave a position as a manager in the branch office to your father ]
the ring glided free from Nanda's eyes. Nanda's happy cry was getting more and more wet his cheeks. A sweet smile that may not be seen by her mother, Nanda painted on her face. His chest felt tight because it held the happiness that filled the entire space of his heart.
[Sweetie, are you crying? ]
[Ah, no-no Mother. Nanda called mom while cooking. Maybe because Nanda is currently slicing onions, so Nanda's eyes feel spicy and so it sounds like a crying person ]
[Ooo.... So. Nanda, how are you there? Are you being treated well by your husband and two in-laws? ]
[Ah yes, Mom. They all treated Nanda well. Alvin is also very good. Even Nanda now lives in Mas Alvin's own house. We have moved ]
[We moved out today. Mas Alvin's house is huge. Although not as big as Oma Ana's house, but I think this is also very big ]
[Nanda, I pray that you will be happy with your marriage, just as Mom and Dad are very happy to see your daughter with a handsome and well-established man. Don't think too much about Mom's condition. Mom and Dad are fine here ]
[Thank God that Mom and Dad are okay there. Nanda, calm down here. Well, then, the phone's been called, ma'am. Nanda wants to continue cooking ]
[Yes, baby, go on. Please cook your husband a special dish that can make him fall in love with you ]
[What is this mom talking about? Yes, ma'am, greetings to Daddy ]
Nanda turned off her phone. For a moment Nanda was silent while still looking at the screen of her phone. After a short sigh, Nanda resumed her cooking activities. The smell of his cooking began to smell. One by one the dishes were finally cooked.
This afternoon Nanda cooked three dishes. Nanda cooked rice with a moderate level of maturity, stir-fried green pakcoy vegetables, shrimp balado, and fried chicken fillet flour which he diced. Because Nanda does not know Alvin's taste, then all the dishes he made are not spicy. Nanda made spicy tomato chili and served it to its own container if Alvin wanted to add spicy flavor to his meal later.
***
The fragrance of Nanda's cooking smelled all the way to Alvin's room. And the smell of it could interfere with his sense of smell. Because the stomach was hungry, finally Alvin moved from his work chair and out of the room to make sure the fragrance that had disturbed him because he had dared to enter the room and interfere with his work concentration.
Alvin's eyes were slightly surprised when he saw Nanda who looked busy preparing dishes to the dining table. Nanda was still wearing an apron and earphones in her ears. Nanda looks cool to the point of not knowing the whereabouts of Alvin who has been watching him since. Apparently Nanda cooks while listening to music. Nanda's mouth looks kamit and a little sounding lyrics of the tone created from his mouth.
Alvin sat himself in the dining chair while waiting for Nanda to finish his cooking. Seeing Alvin who had been sitting quietly with a cold gaze towards him suddenly made Nanda aghast in shock.
"Hhaaaahh.... Mas Alviiiinnn.." screeched Nanda while holding his chest. Alvin himself remained calm in his sitting position. Nanda immediately took off his earphones and aprons and rushed to arrange his cooking on the dining table. After it was felt that everything was complete, Nanda sat down and prepared for lunch.
"I'm sorry, I didn't ask you for permission and immediately cooked the ingredients in the refrigerator. Don't worry, I'll pay for all the groceries I've used" Alvin smiled reproachfully at Nanda's spate of words. His cold face added to his perfectly flat demeanor when responding to Nanda's apology.
"If your cooking is not good, you have to pay 2x the price. My foodstuffs are foods that have been through special selection and have been guaranteed quality. So of course the price must be expensive" replied Alvin relaxed as his hand took the empty plate that Nanda had provided and immediately tasted Nanda's cuisine without waiting for Nanda to allow himself to try.
Nanda himself immediately paled with anxious hope when his two eyes watched with clingy motion Alvin's movements were tasting his cooking. There was no pleasant expression from Alvin's face. Just the flat and cold expression that Alvin showed.
"Feel you well. Still worth eating. Although the taste is still not as good as the usual chef cuisine I eat, but yaaahhhh... Not bad" Nanda exhaled harshly feeling relieved by Alvin's words. Although Alvin's words were very piercing in the ear, at least Alvin remained absorbed in his cooking and continued eating. Alvin is right, when compared to the professional chef's cuisine that he eats everyday, Nanda's cooking is nothing.
That afternoon Nanda and Alvin enjoyed their lunch in a silent atmosphere without a word. Only the sound of cutlery is occasionally heard on the sidelines of eating both. Alvin, as usual, chose silence and focused on enjoying his food. Nanda chose the same. Very reluctant to start a conversation with Alvin stiff and cold.
