Leandra nodded her head slowly.
"My daughter-in-law is very beautiful," Rigel's mother complimented Leandra.
"Ah, Mom, I could."
"No wonder Rigel has always accepted you."
"What do you mean, Mom?"
"Yes, since graduating from college, your Mom and Dad have shown photos and seen you in person, and from there Rigel may have fallen in love."
Leandra couldn't say anything, she just smiled a little.
"How's Rigel?"
"What do you mean, Mom?"
"His attitude is the same as you, I'm afraid Rigel will mess with you, son."
"No, Mom. Rigel is good with Lea, sorry in advance, Lea calling Rigel's name is okay, right, Mom?"
"The one with the name is Rigel, why do you ask Mom."
"Lea's not feeling well, Mom."
"It's okay, as long as Rigel doesn't mind it. Thank God that Rigel has been kind to you all this time."
"Rigel didn't do anything wrong either, did he?"
"No, Mom. Maybe Lea is like that."
"It's okay, the wife is like that."
Leandra just smiled doubtfully.
Not long after they started cooking in the kitchen together, first his mother opened the back door that led to the garden.
"You guys often cook together?"
Leah shook her head.
"Even though Rigel likes to cook, especially when Mother comes here on Sundays, he is even enthusiastic."
"Lea isn't as good at cooking as Mom," she pursed her lips.
"It's okay dear, we study together. After all, cooking, washing, cleaning up is not a woman's job but it's the same thing. Is there Rigel demanding that you do everything?"
Leandra thought about the days she had spent with Rigel, as long as Rigel had never demanded Lea with the homework, unlike most.
"Never, Mom."
"Thankfully, it means that what you conveyed was the trust of Rigel."
They cook together, eat lunch together and even watch television together until late at night. For some reason, Leandra feels so close to Rigel's mother, even to the point of doing activities together without stopping.
"Thank you, Mom."
"For?"
"Because it's a college holiday, at first Lea was bored but there was Mom. It felt like Leandra's Mom."
Rigel's mother smiled and hugged Leandra.
"You're welcome, next time if Rigel isn't busy playing at home, okay?"
Leandra nodded her head and smiled.
"Lea and Lea's mom is rarely like this, Mom."
"Your mother works for you too, honey. You can't compare that."
That's how close Leandra was with Rigel's Mom, at first she was very afraid but it turned out that what she was afraid of was not that scary. After nightfall Rigel finally returned home, at that time Lea and her mother were watching television together. Rigel who knew that was happy to see him.
"Excuse me."
"Come in" replied his Mom and Leandra at the same time.
Rigel kissed his Mom's hand and placed two plastic bags on the table.
"Must be Barros Luco, right?" asked Rigel's Mom.
"Yes, Mom's favourite."
"You didn't buy your wife's favourite?"
Rigel pursed his lips at the other plastic bag.
"Folk's Toast and Snacks? Are there small children here?" asked Rigel's Mom in surprise.
"That's the little boy on the side, Mom."
"What the hell," said Lea, pursing her lips but she was happy.
"What?"
"I don't."
"Uh, why you guys?" her mother asked in surprise.
"All right, Mom."
"No problem right? Don't lie."
"No, Mom, it's safe."
"Watch out Rigel, you don't mess around with waiting for this beautiful Mom."
"It's Mom child, isn't it Rigel."
"Anyway, if your daughter-in-law cries, you're the Mom target."
"Ready, Mom."
Rigel went to his room and cleaned himself up. Meanwhile, Leandra and her mother were still in the living room, enjoying the food that Rigel brought.
"Lea," called Rigel's mother.
"Later on, if there's any problem, tell Mom, don't be shy, and don't be afraid."
"Yes, Mom."
"It's late, Mom wants to rest. You also rest, okay?"
Leandra nodded her head, Rigel's mother went into the room and Leandra cleaned up what was on the living room table. After cleaning everything he went to his room.
Because he felt very hot that night, he took off his short-sleeved shirt and only wore a tank top and leggings. He didn't cover his body because he just wanted to lie down and Rigel was still bathing. However, who would have thought that Leandra fell asleep.
"Oh my god, why aren't you wearing clothes?" Rigel grumbled, who had just taken a shower.
Rigel watched Leandra and finally covered his wife's body with a blanket. Leandra sleeping without clothes was torturing Rigel. even so, Rigel was a normal boy.
Rigel tried to lay down on the bed and Leandra lay facing the right-facing Rigel. His wife's fierce face is now more clearly displayed as well as his body. Rigel watched him for a while, stroked Leandra's front hair and briefly kissed her forehead because he was afraid to wake his wife. After that, he fell asleep.
*****
Rigel woke up first and saw Leandra sleeping carelessly with her body everywhere.
Leandra woke up and was surprised to see her body wrapped in a blanket while looking around, it turned out that Rigel was already in front. He immediately left the room to prepare breakfast.
"You're awake, what are you going to do?" asked Rigel's mother when Leandra came into the kitchen.
"Want to make breakfast, Mom. Sorry for getting up late."
"No, you just get ready for college."
"It's okay, Mom. Lea doesn't like getting up so late."
"It's okay, no one has a problem with that, Rigel is not a complicated child, but when he gets angry he will stay quiet and can't communicate with anyone."
"Oh yes, Mom. Leandra gets ready first, ma'am."
After everything was ready, this morning circled the dining table and had breakfast together. today Rigel's mother will also say goodbye to go home.
"Mom is coming home today?" asked Rigel.
"Oh, it's really bad to kick him Mom out," said Leandra annoyed.
Rigel's mother laughed.
"Mom did say that she wanted to go home, Lea. Later, you will come to campus. I will come with you."
"Why do you want to go home, Mom?"
