Maya stared at the simple house she missed so much and all the fragrance of wildflowers creeping up on the narrow grounds was refreshing.
"My heart is very pounding ..." Maya held her chest with both hands and smiled happily while Marve had a hard time bringing the groceries they had bought earlier for Maya's aunty.
"Auntie .. I'm home," Maya shouted happily, but there was no answer and the house looked very quiet.
"Where are they all?" Maya asked confusedly, her brother had graduated from school and was preparing for his university entrance exam but why is he not home now and her aunty is also nowhere to be seen.
Are they on the market today?
Maya wondered until she realized that Marve was standing annoyed with all the grocery bags dangling from her burly hands.
"Looks like they are not here, I forgot to tell you." Said Marve confused Maya.
...
Wow .. only that one cry escaped from Maya's lips when she entered a traditional cake shop which was quite large with large glasses that made a translucent view into a traditional-style shop.
"Welcome." Greet a middle-aged woman in a friendly voice.
"Auntie..." Maya immediately ran to hug Mina, who now welcomed Maya's hug warmly.
"Auntie... I miss you." Maya took off her hug for a moment and looked at her aunt's face, which looked fresher than before.
"I'm also missed you very much. " Mina replied, she held back her tears after holding back her longing because, after Maya's wedding, only today did she see Maya back.
"Look .. you are more beautiful and you look like the old you." Said Mina smiling. Maya looks very well-groomed and beautiful like when Maya still had parents.
"I'm always beautiful, auntie," Maya replied jokingly making Mina laugh.
"Hey, am I being overlooked here? "Marve interrupted, his hands already getting sore from carrying filled grocery bags.
"Gosh .. I'm sorry Marvin." Mina immediately approached Marve and took over the grocery bags and put them on the table and didn't forget to thank them.
Besides, Maya is still amazed at every corner of her aunt's cake shop now.
"Looks like there is something I don't know." Said Maya after sitting next to Marve.
Mina smiled and put some of the crockeries on the table. "Your husband gave this cake shop the day after your wedding," Mina explained, a smile was always etched on her cheerful face.
Maya saw Marve in disbelief while Marve pretended not to care with the question signal from Maya's face.
"Where's Arya?" Marve asked, changing the subject.
If Marve didn't ask then Maya wouldn't have realized Arya wasn't here right now. "Right, where is Arya?" Maya said.
"He was delivering the ordered cake," Mina replied. "Try it .. " Mina continued after placing some of her traditional cakes in front of Maya and Marve.
Marve then grabbed one of the cakes on the table and glanced at Maya "That's a cucur cake." Maya explained.
Marve nodded and then ate a cake which sounded strange to him because this was the first time for Marve to see a round cake but bulging like a hat in the middle.
"Isn't it delicious?" Mina asked anxiously, yes Marve is a rich man. Cucur cake may not be his taste.
"Wow .. this is delicious. at first, I thought it was a little oily but after eating it turned out to be not that bad and it tasted really good. " Marvel answered, he then finished his last bite before moving on to one of the brownish oval-shaped cake.
"That's .. " Mina was about to explain when Maya grabbed it and fed Marve quickly. Even though Marve looked a little hesitant but he still ate the cake at one time.
"It's delicious isn't it?" Said Maya, smiling hiding her sense of satisfaction because she succeeded in making Marve eat a cake filled with chilies in it. Marve initially nodded slowly while chewing but after a while, his face turned red and he began to feel a spicy taste in his mouth.
Maya laughs happily because she managed to work on Marve by giving her a combro filled with chilies in it.
"Jeez, Maya!" Mina rebuked and quickly gave Marve water and Marve impatiently drank it.
Marve's lips were red and wet now, he wanted to curse at Maya right now but because Mina was with them, Marve held him back.
"It's spicy but delicious isn't it?" Maya couldn't stop laughing, especially since Marve's forehead was sweating now.
"Maya, it's not nice to be like that to your husband!" Mina's scolding made Maya frown at once because she felt jealous that her aunt would defend Marve more.
"Please forgive Maya, Marvin." Said Mina, Marve only smiled slightly.
"No problem, Maya might just want to see my lips turn red like after being bitten," Marve said which immediately made Maya stare at him.
What did this man say and why is his aunt just laughing like that. The words sounded very perverted. "Oh, Marve I'll get back to you later."
Maya cursed silently but Marve's red, wet lips immediately averted her eyes.
Marve's lips were so seductive, whoever the devil was humming that sentence in her ears so that even her cheeks felt warm now and were red.
"Look .. Maya can't even take her eyes off my lips." Marve's successful teasing made Maya embarrassed but she hid it and said loudly "Who is staring at your lips!" Maya dodged it firmly.
Mina can only smile seeing Maya and Marve's behavior "The newlyweds are adorable." Mina said, she pinched Maya and Marve's cheeks before going to meet the customers who came.
"So honey..." Marve teased, he smiled faintly and tilted his head so he could show his face clearly to Maya. "Look at my face and my seductive lips as you like." Marve continued and at the end of his sentence, he threw an air kiss which made Maya's heart flutter instantly and made her embarrassed.
"Perverted man! " Maya cursed her face turned away, if not then she would embarrass herself because her face was heated now.
"Really? Are you sure I'm the only pervert here? Who was that staring at my lips without blinking?" Whispered Marve, his face was right next to Maya's ear.
Maya .. calm your heart, he's just teasing you. Nothing should make you nervous. Maya continued to say in her heart and convinced herself that after taking a breath she then turned around but what she found was that her cheek had now stuck to Marve's lips.
Mina, who accidentally saw, immediately turned her face, as well as Arya, who had just arrived, he was shocked and froze because he saw a sight he had never seen before.
