20 Years Adrift
Chapters 16. Cooking For Affan

Aira was so skilled at preparing ingredients and seasonings. He looks like a great cook. Bi Sumi only helped him to clean up the remnants of materials he did not need.

Affan heard Faya's footsteps coming down the stairs. He immediately hid her body and closed the door quickly.

'Look if Faya finds out I'm sneaking a peek at Aira. She must have thought I was bucin.' Affan rubbed his face and walked towards his bed.

Affan takes his TV remote and turns it on. His eyes were indeed looking at the TV but his mind was at where Aira was.

Faya walked over to Aira who was cooking. He never cooked for a long time. In an emergency, he can only cook instant noodles or eggs.

"What cooking, Ma? It smells really good" Faya asked as she peeked at Aira's cooking from behind her back.

"It's capcay and this is timlo. Your father was sick so I made him some fruitful food" Aira explained. In front of Faya he did not dare to call Affan as Om.

Faya surprised. He didn't know his father was sick. The clock had already shown at seven in the morning, he thought his father had already left for his office.

"ill? I'm gonna go see him." Faya looks anxious, having said that she immediately leaves Aira.

Aira stretched out her hand about to say something. However, Faya was walking too fast. His cooking could be scorching if he left it just like that.

"I forgot to tell you that Om Affan is just a common cold." Aira shook her head and returned to struggling with her cooking.

The cooked capcay is ready. Aira just need to finish one more menu that is timlo.

In Affan's room, by the way,

Faya opened her father's room door quickly. His face looked so worried when he heard that his father was sick.

Affan is shocked by Faya's sudden arrival.

"Huft ...! You just surprised me, honey." Affan expressed his surprise.

Not to answer his father's statement. Faya even approached the father. His hand touched his neck and measured his body temperature with the back of his hand.

"Not hot. Is Dad really sick or is Aira just lying to me?" Faya looked at Affan inside. His eyes found a slightly red mark on his neck.

Affan looks resigned when his daughter turns her body until she is in a position that turns her back on Faya.

"I think Dad made a big cut for me" said Faya, laughing gigglingly.

"Hush! You're making your father ashamed. We and Aira are still in high school, I can't do that and make Aira shy at school because she thinks she's pregnant out of wedlock."

Affan's answer doesn't make Faya happy. He even showed his disappointed face.

"I think dad really loves Aira. Don't tell me you still want Amanda!" exclaim Faya with a slow but stressed voice.

Affan's facial expression changed when Faya mentioned Amanda's name.

"Dad doesn't have any feelings for Amanda. I'm trying to accept Aira's presence in my life. Father's love is so great for your mother, so please give me some time to get to know Aira."

Faya nodded. Trying to understand what his father said.

Soon Aira arrives to bring Affan breakfast. Although she was very hungry but she put her duties first as a wife.

"Faya, I leave it for you in the dining room if you want," Aira said as she watched Faya gulp her saliva at the sight of her cooking.

"That's not a subtle mode to drive me out of here, is it?" god Faya while nudging Aira's arm.

Luckily the tray contains food and drinks for Affan not spilled. Aira placed it safely on the nightstand.

"You are just there. Yes, if you don't want to. It will taste different if it is heated," Aira explained.

"Well, right, it's really mode. I know my dad is handsome. All right, I'll go. Just enjoy your romantic breakfast, both of you," teased Faya as she walked away from Affan's room.

Aira blushed every time Faya teased her with a sentence that cornered her. In his heart he felt anxious about the behavior of his best friend that made him so embarrassed in front of his father.

Now in the room only live Aira and Affan.
