"Why don't you come closer? I want to drink tea," Bima said, clearing his throat as he tried to hide his awkwardness.

Anya looked at Bima in surprise. She couldn't believe what she heard. Had Bima recognized her as his daughter-in-law?

"Please drink the tea, Father." Anya gave the teacup very politely, using both of her hands.

"Hmm..." Bima muttered incoherently, but immediately drank the tea.

"Grandfather has drunk tea from aunt and acknowledged her as daughter-in-law. Don't you want to give her a wedding gift?" Nico said excitedly.

"Gift?" Bima frowned. The last time he had a daughter-in-law was when Maria became the wife of his first son, Ardan. And it'd been 26 years since then.

"Don't bother!" Anya immediately refused. Getting recognition from Bima alone was the best gift for her.
