"Aiden, can you see?" Asked Maria in surprise. How did Aiden know that Nico grilled two fish? Had Aiden's eyes recovered? Could he really see again?
Maria's eyes looked hopeful as she asked this.
"I can sll it." Aiden said casually.
Maria's face imdiately turned pale when she heard Aiden's answer. The hope in her eyes imdiately dimd and she said sadly, "I think your eyes have recovered."
"I'm used to being like this." Aiden took his fork and stabbed the fish in his plate. He deliberately stabbed the plate so that it almost fell to the ground to convince Maria that he really hadn't recovered.
Anya realized that Aiden was pretending in front of his sister-in-law because he didn't want to give false hopes. Aiden's eyesight could get worse at any ti so it was better for them to hide this first.
She imdiately took the fork in Aiden's hand, "I've worked hard to cook it. You have to finish it. Let feed you."
"Hmm…" Aiden accepted it happily.
Maria's eyes were red and her throat felt like it was choked. After that, she tried to change the subject, "After eating this one, co inside, we will have lunch."
Anya was stunned for a mont at Maria's words, "Aren't we currently having a barbecue in the park?"
"The kitchen waiter has prepared grilled lamb and various other nus. Nico just wants to have fun and have a barbecue in the park so he can grill at and satay." Maria replied.
Anya blinked her eyes repeatedly. She thought the Atmajaya Family were really simple and warm like any other family so they could have a barbecue and prepare their own food.
But as it turned out, this barbecue party was just a ga for Nico. The servants in the kitchen had prepared another, far more luxurious al. They would eat in a cool dining room and eat their lamb while drinking wine. The Atmajaya family was indeed one of the ruling families in this city!
Nico was just having a barbecue to please Tara who loved food so much.
Anya was the only one to really think that they were going to have a barbecue lunch in this park.
"Sis, co back first. After finishing the fish, we will go inside." Anya said with a smile.
Maria nodded and turned towards Nico, "Nico, let's have lunch."
"After these two fish are finished I'll go in!" Nico imdiately looked at Tara and realized that Tara's face was flushed with heat. Tara was standing beside a grill holding a fan. Her hands continued to shake, but sweat still flowed down her forehead, "Tara, co in first. Look at your face, it's already red with heat. I'll bring the fish when it's cooked."
"I'll be waiting for you here. I have to make sure you cook and season the fish properly!" Tara didn't want to go into the house alone and make the fish her excuse. It was better to be outside with Nico even when she was hot, than to go inside. There was only Bima in the house. The atmosphere must be really awkward!
Maria only laughed when she heard that, "Alright, alright." She said as she walked in first.
After Maria entered the house, Anya used plastic gloves so she could feed Aiden more quickly. Every now and then, she would also enjoy the grilled fish she made.
After the fish ran out, she took Aiden's hand and invited him to enter the house.
Nico had also finished grilling two of the fish and placed them on a plate. He and Tara walked in front of Aiden and Anya, heading towards the house.
"That's my fish! Give it to !" Tara said, trying to grab the plate Nico brought.
"I know! No one wants to take it from you!" Nico replied, rolling his eyes. He just wanted to help carry the plate to make himself look like a romantic guy, but it seed as if all Tara had in mind was eating and eating.
Anya smiled seeing their level, "Don't you think they are very compatible?"
According to Anya, Nico and Tara were a very good match. They could enjoy their life like cheerful little children, but they could also grow up in tis of need. Their lives would surely be filled with joy and laughter.
"Their characters fit perfectly, but their family backgrounds don't. My dad won't let Nico marry the daughter of the doctor's family." Aiden said quietly.
"Doctor's family?" Anya asked, confused. Even though she was close friends with Tara, their relationship was not that deep so that Anya didn't know anything about her family matters.
"Tara's father used to be the personal doctor of the Atmajaya Family. Now he can beco the chief doctor of a hospital because the hospital is controlled by the Atmajaya Group. In my father's eyes, Tara was just the daughter of a family's doctor. She doesn't deserve Nico." Aiden tried to explain.
"Nico's marriage is the business of my father and my sister-in-law. We don't need to interfere." Aiden said, reminding Anya. He knew that if he was not commorated like that, Anya would try her best to match Nico and Tara.
"But I can see Nico is starting to like Tara. Maybe, he can return to the right path" Anya said, "Do your father and sister-in-law know that Nico likes n?"
"Anya, what are you saying? Nico likes n?" Anya did not know Maria was standing behind her.
Anya's heart stopped when she heard that voice. Her hand that was holding Aiden's hand imdiately grasped Aiden's fingers tighter in shock at Maria's sudden appearance.
She looked at Aiden and asked him for help. What should she do now?
Upon hearing the shocking news, Tara imdiately looked at Nico suspiciously. Then, she whispered, "Which man do you like? Actor or model?"
Nico could only turn around and look at the three people behind him with astonished looks. Why did the misunderstanding get so complicated like this? Since when did he like n?
"Sis, you heard wrong." Aiden said, trying to save Anya.
Nico could feel the sharp gaze from behind him. As soon as he looked back, he saw Bima was waiting for him, looking at him with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
"Grandpa, your fish is ready!" Nico imdiately offered the fish with a smile, pretending nothing had happened.
Bima's face looked grim. He walked towards the dining table, staring coldly at Anya. Then, he looked at Nico again, "Don't get too close to Raka next ti. I've been hearing a lot of news regarding the two of you recently."
Nico, Tara and Maria imdiately followed behind Bima, heading toward the dining room. anwhile Anya and Aiden walked slowly. They didn't want to interfere in this matter.
"Grandfather, and Raka are good friends. Don't listen to rumors!" Nico felt unable to correct this rumor, which had strayed far from the truth. No matter what he did, it's hard to clear his na.
"Nico, do you really like Raka?" Maria looked at her son in disbelief. Her playboy son and womanizer turned out to like n. Had he been teasing won all this ti just as a guise?
"Mom! and Raka are just friends. We are both single so there are crazy unfitting rumors about us both. Don't worry. I still like won. I'll give you a grandson." Nico comforted her.
Tara saw the atmosphere in the room getting worse. Then she said quietly, "Half an hour ago, Raka, the Mahendra Family's eldest son, announced his engagent."
