The Veil

Chapter # 19

Author's note:

I just wanna say that this contains Jujutsu Kaisen manga Spoilers. if you haven't read the manga, go ahead and read it and go through the same pain I did.

(Name) was setting up the bookshelf in their shared room of Satoru's apartment.

"Wifey, do you need any help with these?"
Satoru peeked inside, he was wearing a cute pink apron with frills.

He was in charge of cooking today and (Name) didn't know what to choose, finish unpacking the books she has ordered through a parcel from (Native country) or cook a healthy balanced meal for both of them. She couldn't be at two places at the same time, so she let her husband do the cooking. Satoru Gojo was not a good chef and she learned it the hard way.

She has offered to order a takeout but he insisted that he can cook a simple pot of soup and some stir fry noodles.

(Name) knew he was being considerate of her as she had a hard time digesting restaurant-bought food. She was second strongest but her stomach was surely not.

"No, I'm almost done,"

"Good! I'm also done with food!" He smiled, "we should eat now." As if on signal, his stomach rumbled, "even my stomach agrees that it's been starving."

"Alright," she left the rest of the books in the package, "I'll do this afterward."

The veggie soup didn't look poisonous at all, (Name) took a cautious sip.

"Satoru, there is no salt in the soup."

"I know, last time I added salt you almost died so this time I didn't. But you can add it afterward according to your taste."

"I didn't almost die and you measure the salt the same way you measure your sugar. They should never be measured in the same way." He passed her the salt shaker.

"I know, it was my fault." He set opposite to her and picked up his chopsticks.

"But I have to say you have improved your culinary skills, the soup is delicious and the noodles are also great for a beginner." She said, chewing on her food. Once you balance the salt to your taste, the food wasn't bad at all.

"I'm not the one who deserves your praise not that I don't deserve any at all but the recipe comes from Nanamin's Kitchen."

"Remind me to thank Nanami next time we meet." She seriously needs to thank him and also get some of his recipes as well.

"Of course," there was a ring of the doorbell.
"I'll take it." (Name) hoisted to her feet, Satoru nodded.

She opened the door, "(NAME)!" She was tackled and let out a shriek.

"Wifey?! Is everything alright?" Satoru, who has heard her scream, ran to her aid.

"Arshi, you shouldn't have slammed into me like a bull." (Name) pushed her away, "can't you greet me like a normal human being?"

"I just like being dramatic like that." He turned to Satoru, who just raised his brows as if asking what the hell are you doing here?

"Besides I missed you so much, oh, and I didn't tell anyone back home I'm here in Japan. If anyone calls you from back home, just tell them I'm not here, okay?"

(Name) sighed, "did you run away from home? Seriously Arshi I thought you were more mature than that."

"I am mature! They were planning to marry me often some dude!" Arshi plopped on their couch.

"Wait, I am sure it wasn't that big of a deal."
"(Name) is right, you shouldn't act like a rebellious teenager."

"It's nothing like that, I just came to Japan to clear my head and enjoy a little vacation here." Arshi rubbed her face, she looked tired.
