Della: "I'm on my way there. Baked sweet potato, wait for me!"
Anya just laughed at Della's answer.
"What's wrong? What makes you so happy?" Diana asked with a smile.
"Mother, Della will come to eat roasted sweet potatoes," Anya said, looking at the kitchen and wondering if there were still roasted sweet potatoes left.
"Mrs. Hana, Della wants to come here. Please help make roasted sweet potatoes again," said Diana.
Hana smiled happily when she knew that someone would come and accompany them to spend their afternoon.
After that, Diana looked at her daughter once again. Seeing Anya who stopped eating, she frowned. "Why don't you eat them?"
"They're not sweet," Anya replied.
Diana looked at the golden, shiny roasted sweet potato. She and Hana had already covered the roasted sweet potato with lots of honey, how could it not taste sweet?
It wasn't the sweet potato taste that wasn't sweet, but Anya's tongue, which couldn't taste the sweetness anymore.
"Do you want to add more honey to it?" Diana asked.
"No need," Anya pushed the plate. "I'll pack some for mom and dad."
Now Indah and Galih had moved into the house Aiden bought for Diana. But Diana prefered to live in the garden so that the house had been left empty. Although it was not as big as the Pratama Family's house and that it was quite far from the company, Galih and Indah were very happy to be able to live there because they could see Anya and their two grandchildren more often.
Diana rushed to the kitchen and found that Hana had baked a lot of sweet potatoes. It seemed that hana had listened to the conversation before, so without being asked, she immediately cooked a lot for Indah and Galih as well.
Anya took out her cellphone and immediately sent a message to her mother.
Anya: "Mom, are you at home? I want to send roasted sweet potatoes!"
Indah then immediately answered the message from her daughter.
Indah: "It just so happens that I'm looking for snacks for this afternoon. Have you eaten? Do you want me to cook something?"
Anya: "I'll be right there. I want to eat your soup."
Indah: "Alright, I will make it now!"
Actually, Indah was not at home. She was outside the house when she got a message from Anya. But she did not need to think twice to leave all of her activities immediately just so she could accompany her daughter at home.
She worked together with Diana as Anya's two mothers to look after their daughter. They tried to spend all their time accompanying Anya, so that Anya would not have time to let her mind wander or daydream alone.
Anya then went to deliver the roasted sweet potato to Indah, while Indah immediately cooked the rib soup for her. She knew that her daughter had no appetite, so she made soup for Anya.
"Do you like the soup I made for you?" Indah asked with a smile.
Anya nodded. Even though the soup had no taste in her mouth, she could not bear to see the hope on her mother's face and finished it all.
Indah felt happy when she saw her daughter finish all her cooking. "Lately, I've had a lot of trouble sleeping. I envy you who can sleep anywhere," she said with a laugh.
"What's wrong? Do you have insomnia?" Anya asked worriedly.
"No. It's because your father is busy at work and doesn't have time to accompany me. Every day I'm at home alone, bored, only accompanied by the servants," Indah pretended to be sad and said, "What's the point of having a husband if he can't accompany me…"
"Aiden is also busy lately, and I feel like the days went by so fast. When I wake up, it is already daytime. After sitting for a while, it suddenly turned into night. After eating, I went back to sleep. Every day, I only eat, sleep, and repeat. It feels like life is really boring, like I have no purpose at all," Anya took a deep breath.
Indah felt her chest tighten when she heard Anya's words. Depressed people had a tendency to think about ending their life.
Anya said her life was really boring, making Indah feel anxious.
"Yes, it's been really boring lately. That's why I want to take a vacation. I will go out of town later on during the holidays," said Indah.
"Are you going with dad?" Anya asked.
Indah nodded. "Three years ago, I bought land for growing spices outside the city. Now, the spices have started to grow. I really admire your mother's life. She takes care of her garden every day, can work in the garden under the scorching hot sun and drink tea on the terrace when she has free time. I also want to grow spices, get the best essential oils and make perfume for you!" She said with gusto.
"Field of spices..." Anya remembered when she was studying in France. In the past, she also went on a study tour and visited many places related to perfume making.
She was very interested!
"Most of the spices grown there are used for perfume and beauty products," said Indah.
Anya thought for a moment and finally said, "If I had time, I would also love to go there ..."
"I will be there for quite a while. You want to go to the island on vacation, right? If you are getting bored with life on the island, you can come and take a vacation with me," said Indah.
Anya nodded. "I will go with you, mother. But can you keep this as a secret between the two of us? Don't tell anyone!"
Indah's eyes sparkled brightly. "I won't tell anyone!"
"By the way, Raka's girlfriend will come to the house. I have to go home soon. If you are bored at home, you can come with me." Anya was afraid that her mother would feel lonely if she left her alone.
"I don't want to disturb you. Besides, I have an appointment to go to a spa!" Indah rose to her feet and led Anya to the door.
After Anya returned home, Indah immediately sent a message to Diana.
Indah: "Anya is on her way home. She ate a bowl of rib soup earlier. She also said that she was sleepy all the time and that she only spent her days eating and sleeping. Her life is so boring and meaningless. I helped her to find something she could do to spend her time better, but I don't know if it's going to work."
When she saw the contents of the message, Diana shook her head helplessly.
She knew all the problems that had happened lately were making her daughter depressed and tired.
Anya had lost her first child and had to give birth to twins with great difficulty.
Some people were jealous and hated her, and they tried to hurt her many times.
Anya had never done anything to hurt someone else's heart, but there would always be people looking for trouble with her.
She was really tired of everything!
She just wanted to live in peace, be in her perfume room and create the best perfume in the world. But every time she sat at her desk, she could only ponder, not knowing what to do.
When Anya arrived in front of her house, she saw Della arriving with a bicycle and backpack.
Her steps stopped for a moment. Seeing Della who was so young and innocent made her feel like she saw her old self.
The old her was always full of enthusiasm even though life was always unfair to her.
Being able to find and love Aiden was perhaps the greatest miracle that ever happened to her life. She thought that marrying the man she loved would make her life perfect and complete.
But lately, she felt that everything had changed.
She thought Aiden could protect her from the storm. She thought Aiden would keep her from feeling sad and hollow.
But now Anya felt that Aiden caused all the problems and hardships she had experienced in her life. And that the man did nothing to comfort her.
Anya also felt that she was unable to become equal to him.
All that pressure made her feel even more tired.
And then, a really bad idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
Right, why didn't she just leave Aiden?
