Elena, Rena and Aunty Yanti were busy preparing the ingredients for making Chewy Spice Cookies as they had planned yesterday.

Suddenly Brian arrived in his suit and walked into the kitchen with a big smile.

​​

"What's the matter? Is there anything left?" Elena's forehead frowned. Wonder with Brian in front of her. Even though it is still working hours.

Brian shook his head. He took off his tie and started rolling up his shirt sleeves.

"Then why did you come home? You're not working?" asked Rena.

"I'm leaving early today. I'm the boss after all. Skipping work occasionally won't bankrupt the company."

Rena's hand quickly tapped Brian's head. Annoyed by what her son said.

"What if you're the boss, huh? You don't think Mommy can fire you?" Rena had her hands on her hips and glared at Brian

"Come on, Mom. It's a special day. This is the first time Mommy will cook with Elise. It's a rare day and I don't want to miss it."

"only being reasonable," snorted Rena irritably.

Elena looked at Brian in disbelief, "So, you came home early wanting to see us cook, do you think?" Brian's head quickly nodded, even many times. With an innocent face like a child.

Elena chuckled. Why is it so easy for rich people to act their way? But, wait. Brian said he wanted to see them cook right, so it was only fitting that the man would be the first to taste their cookies later.

"You-"

"Mom." Elena cuts Rena's words. And stared at the middle aged woman.

"Let Brian be the first to taste our cookies later."

Rena was confused by what Elena said. She also wanted to get angry that Elena cut her off. She looked at Elena absently. One of Elena's eyebrows rise up and smiled at her. Make Rena think for a moment and smile too. She understood Elena's point.

Rena turned to look at Brian. "Very well, you will be the first to taste our cookies later."

Brian paused, feeling suspicious of something. And seeing Elena and Rena's mysterious smiles made him understand. Gosh, he's gonna be a guinea pig. Become the first cake taster made by the two women. Brian forgot one important thing. Elena is good at making cookies but his mother (?). The woman always fails to make cookies, all the cookies she makes are always bad. Some are burnt, hard and some even taste very strange. And all the cookies that failed must be Brian who tasted the first time. He even had a hard time distinguishing between sweet and salty tastes because his mother's cookies were so terrible. And unfortunately, Rena never gave up, she always wanted to try making cookies.

How about this? What if the cookies they made later taste terrible? Brian must run away before it's too late.

"Uh, Mom, Elise, I forgot that in the office there is an important meeting," said Brian who tried to run away. But with a compact Rena and Elena already on the right and left. Staring at Brian with bulging eyes. Threaten Brian to sit there waiting and don't dare to leave this kitchen.

Brian shrank. He regretted his decision. He should not have come home to keep his life safe and free from his mother's poisonous cookies.

Rena, Elena and assisted by Aunty Yanti started making cookie dough. Elena who mixes the ingredients, Rena who reads every step of how to make it and Aunty Yanti who is ready to be on standby if something is needed.

Brian smiled at the scene before him. His mother seems quite familiar with Elena. They even work together and look compact.

Brian's eyes were now only on Elena's beautiful face. The woman listened very seriously to her mother's instructions and was busy kneading the cookie dough. She looked so beautiful that Brian couldn't take his eyes off.

Sweat started appearing on Elena's forehead. And her hair starts to come out of her hair ties and disturbs the woman's activities. Makes Elena occasionally wipe her face with her arm, because her hands are dirty right now. And without realizing it, Elena's arms were also stained with flour so that the cheeks she wiped were dirty too.

Brian smiled softly at Elena's face. He got up and walked over to Elena and tapped her on the shoulder. Instantly Elena turned to Brian who was already beside her.

Brian's hands grabbed Elena's shoulders and turned the woman's body to face her.

Brian took out his handkerchief. And wiped the sweat on Elena's forehead. Made the woman speechless with dirty hands hanging in the air. Couldn't move and just looked into Brian's eyes. She was too shocked by Brian's action. Elena's heart was beating very fast. Couldn't control the beat which was now beating so fast.

Brian's hand rubbed Elena's forehead which was dry from sweat. And draped Elena's hair behind her ear. His hands cupped the woman's face and rubbed the flour stuck to her cheeks. That gentle touch that is very intimate and romantic that Elena can't avoid.

Her face suddenly heated up. Even Brian smiled brightly, adding to his good looks. Realized the blush that now appeared on Elena's cheeks. Brian had a hard time taking his eyes off. His eyes seemed to be locked onto Elena's adorable face. It felt like he wanted to kiss and bite those adorable cheeks. Very funny and tickled his heart to get closer.

"Ahem," deheman Rena dispelled the romantic aura that occurred between Brian and Elena.

Brian awkwardly turned around and sat back where he was. Meanwhile, Elena immediately lowered her head and resumed her activities. She didn't dare look at anyone in this kitchen. Especially looking at the man in front of her, Elena couldn't, she was very embarrassed. And her blushing face adds to the embarrassment even more.

An hour later, the oven clinked. The cookies that Elena and Rena cooked are finally done. Elena slowly took out the cake pan. The smell of cookies filled the kitchen. From the fragrance there was a very seductive aroma.

Brian stared at the cookies Elena had picked up from the pan. The cookies are placed on the plate. Brian's forehead stared worriedly at the cookies. It smells good but it doesn't necessarily taste good. From the brown color Brian hesitated. Elena also said it was her first time making these cookies. Chewy Spice Cookies. From the name alone it sounded terrible to Brian.

Gosh, Brian wants to run away right now before the two women force him to try the cookies. No one can guarantee, Brian's stomach will be fine after eating those cookies. What if he ends up in the hospital?

Elena and Rena looked at Brian seriously. And Elena thrust the plate in front of Brian. Under the sharp eyes of the two women in front of him, Brian couldn't move.

"Uh, Mom, El, my stomach suddenly starts and hurts. I have to go to the toilet right now." Brian dodges but his arm is held back by Rena and Elena.

Brian cursed silently. Why were the two women so compact in this state?

With a languid and disheveled face, Brian sat back in his chair. Staring at the plate of cookies in front of him. His face looks tormented. Cold sweat had appeared on his forehead. The man was like a prisoner facing a beheading sentence.

Brian's hand reached out very slowly. Take one cookie then look at Elena and Rena.

"Should I try it? What if I die of poisoning after eating these cookies?"

Rena chuckled annoyed while Elena glared at Brian. Aunty Yanti, who was standing not far from there, smiled a smile. She was amused by Brian's face at this moment.

"If something happens to me, be sure I do this because I love you," said Brian lanky, as if that was the last sentence.

"Aish, hurry and eat the cookies. You will not die, maybe just go to the hospital," said Rena.

"Mommy!" Brian protested in a rather high tone. Annoyed by Rena's words that scared him. Brian hasn't tasted his mother's cake for more than five years. And he really doesn't want to try anymore.

"Come on, eat," Elena coaxed.

Can't get away anymore. Brian slowly took a bite of the cookie. He was very reluctant and didn't want to eat it. His face even frowned, afraid of the strange taste of the cookies. Brian slowly chewed and swallowed it.

Suddenly Brian's eyes were perfectly enlarged. Both hands holding the neck. And his voice choked, his face seemed to be in pain. His body shook slowly then convulsed and fell on the floor.

"Brian!" shouted Elena and Rena simultaneously. They hurried over to Brian and sat on the floor right next to Brian, who was now on his back. The man's eyes were closed. The looks on Elena and Rena's faces were both afraid that something bad might happen to Brian.

Elena's hand shook Brian's shoulder. "Brian, wake up! Brian!"

"Brian! Son, wake up." Rena also did the same. Her hand occasionally patted Brian's cheek, trying to revive her son.

But Brian was silent and did not respond. What happened to that man? Did he pass out from eating the cookies earlier? Is there something wrong with mixing these cookies?
