Chapter 100 - Reres Jealousy (1) (1/2)
Dino and Rere had returned from the supermarket buying groceries since the food stock in Dino's refrigerator is running low. There are only noodles and eggs left. Rere wants to do her duty as a wife. She wants to serve nutritious and delicious food for her husband. She browsed the internet to find the recipes. Rere knew that Dino was a picky eater. That's why Rere literally made dishes that her husband would love to eat. Dino was a Padang descendant, so that man likes spicy food. Dino doesn't like sweet food and will vomit if he eats them. His stomach immediately felt nauseous because he had been pestered by Padang cuisine since he was a child. Dino tongue only accepts spicy food.
Rere came up with a cooking idea for Dino. She will cook Kiambang grilled fish. Kiambang grilled fish is a famous dish in Padang, specifically in the Sicincin area. Everyone who comes there will definitely eat this signature dish. The fish is fresh because it is directly taken from the pond. The restaurant raises the fish to be sold. There is no doubt about the taste since it will make everyone want more.
Rere prepares seasonings to make the grilled fish based on Google's instructions. To make Kiambang grilled fish, she needs 7 ingredients. The ingredients are 1 large gourami, 1 ounce of red chili, 70 grams of galangal, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 12 garlic, and 6 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce. There are several steps to make the dishes which are to clean the tilapia, coat with lime, leave for a while, then wash thoroughly. Puree the garlic (if using ground garlic, mix it). Pour it into the ground seasonings, add sugar (no need to use salt anymore because ground spices are usually salty), puree the chilies and galangal with a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Add sweet soy sauce, stir before adding flavoring powder. Check the taste. After that, stir it well. Apply it to the fish and let it soak for a while.
Dino came to the kitchen and looked at his wife. His stomach suddenly felt hungry, smelling the grilled fish fragrance. Suddenly, Dino felt some courage as he hugged Rere from behind. His hand wrapped around Rere's stomach.
”What are you cooking?” said Dino with a spoiled tone.
”I'm cooking now, Dino.” Rere was suddenly nervous. Her body was stiff from being intimate with her husband. Not that she doesn't want to, but her pride won't let her.
”I know you're cooking. What are you making?” Dino didn't want to let go of her.
”I am making grilled fish. Can't you see it?”
”You're cute when you're not angry,” Dino replied, making Rere blush.
The girl's face reddened with embarrassment. As usual, she pretends as if nothing happened.
”If you want to laugh, just laugh, dear. Don't hold back.”
”Who said I want to laugh?” Rere retorted back, she will maintain her dignity.
”It is you, dear. Who else is here beside you?” Dino teased.
”If you try to find another wife, I'll dismember you.” Rere took a banana and a knife, then cut the banana into pieces. ”If you cheat, I will cut your 'little brother' like this banana.”
Dino's guts shrunk. It turns out Rere is scary when she's angry. Dino realized that he was successful in making Rere attracted to him, although the girl will never say it. Dino's love is not one-sided since Rere started to care for him.
”Yes, dear, how dare I act that way? How could I have two wives when I can't even tame my only wife.”
”Tame? Am I a pet?” Rere put her hand on her hips, showing a fierce face.
The sound of the bell stopped their argumentation as they looked at each other.
”Who's coming?” Rere looked at Dino.
Dino shrugged, ”I don't know either.”
”Let me open the door. Keep your eyes on the fish. Don't overcook it.” Rere walked to the door.
Rere opened the door. She was surprised to see a woman in a short skirt and a red-white-striped shirt. She puffed out her chest, and her hair was curly blonde. Her skin is so white, and her legs are very long. Rere looked at the woman from head to toe. There was a sense of anger and dislike when she saw the woman. Rere suspected that Dino brought another woman when she was in City J.
”Can I help you?” asked Rere fiercely. She didn't want to let the girl in.
”I'm looking for Mr. Dino. Is he here?”
”Who are you?”
”I am Sheila, Mr. Dino's secretary.”
”Oh, I am Dino's wife, Rere.” Rere felt the need to introduce herself.
”Sorry for not recognizing you, ma'am.”
”Who's it, Re?” Dino followed his wife.
”It's your secretary, Sheila,” Rere said through gritted teeth in annoyance. No wonder Dino wanted to rush to work, it turned out that his secretary was sexy and tempting. What kind of man can hold back after seeing Sheila's beauty.
