I Think, I Love You
Eat

After getting acquainted and chatting lightly, Lora helped Jere prepare dinner, processing the ingredients that Jere had bought for Shania. No, for them too.

Although they had only been acquainted for a few hours, Lora and Jere looked familiar. Lora's humble and happy attitude to ask makes them continue to chat, talk about movies, food, work to their school memories.

"Shania must be quiet at your school, right?" jere asked without turning his head, his hands focused on stirring the orange water he had just mixed with ice cubes.

"Very quiet. But he's diligent and smart. She also has a boyfriend who is always nice and affectionate to her. I'm envious" Tukas Lora, the woman was arranging some food at Shania's minimalist dining table, arranging dishes and spoons with other dishes they finished processing.

"Hm.. How's yours?" Tanya Lora received a glass teapot from Jere's hand, while the man took off his apron because the cooking show was over.

"I was with him since elementary school, but separated when High School and together again when he came back here" Jere explained.

"Meaning that Shania did not join her parents to Surabaya, I would never know her" said Lora then sat down to pull a chair and sat right in front of Jere.

Jere just nodded. His gaze was fixed and he noticed the door of Shania's room that was still tightly closed. Since then, the girl did not come out of her room with the excuse of wanting to shower and clean up.

"You guys seem so familiar even me and Shania aren't that familiar" the short-haired woman continued. Back again Jere just nodded.

"You eat first, I'll call on Shania" Jere got up. Walking slowly towards Shania's room, Jere came in after several knocks and called out to Shania.

"Let's eat!"

"I'm not hungry!"

Shania sat on the head of the bed watching her tablet and an electronic pen perched on her finger, she was designing a beautiful dress with the latest fashion and accent she learned through the book she was reading.

"Come on!" Jere took the tablet and pen, pulling Shania's hand until the woman complained a little in shock.

"What the hell?" His protest with an annoyed face "You alone. I've eaten, can you hear me?" Shania shook Jere's hand.

"That's why I'm eating!" Jere releases Shania's hand, then holds Shania's shoulder in a slightly bent position. While the girl stared lazily at the man before her, her pointy index finger pushed Jere's eel away from her face immediately

"There's Lora. Why should I?"

"You don't thank me?" Instead of answering, Jere deflected another question to Shania.

"No!"

"That means you have to repay my kindness today" he said lightly as his hand pulled Shania back to get out.

"That's what you want, right?" shania asked following Jere's footsteps in the end, towards the dining table where Lora was already waiting with many dishes in front of her. "What do you want me to repay you with this time?" ask Shania again.

"Eat first"

Shania looked at the amazement of her dining table, in front of her a lot of luxurious food served filled the table. In addition to self-cooked dishes, Jere also ordered ready-to-eat meals to complement his appetite.

"Who's gonna eat all this?" shania asked without taking her eyes off.

"You of course!"

"Forku?" Shania asked again.

"Huss!" Jere poked on Shania's eyed "You didn't see me and Lora?" jere asked to pull up the chair and press Shania's shoulder to sit down immediately.

Jere took an empty plate, spooned the rice with a few pieces of meat and vegetables and fish eggs that Shania liked, then placed them in front of the girl.

"spend!" Jere said with a sentence more like commanding. Shania let out a sigh of resignation, she picked up the spoon and chopsticks and started devouring her food. Occasionally looking at Jere who was eating quietly.

While Lora was busy with her phone, no matter what happened she seemed to be typing a message that seemed to not stop arriving on her smartphone.

"Ra, you look so happy, what's up?" ask Shania at the end.

"Tomorrow, I've started work and you know what? someone's asking me out on a date!" he said he didn't stop smiling

Not long after, Lora's phone rang, this time a phone call.

"In a moment, I pick up the phone first" Lora immediately moved away from the dining table to pick up the call leaving Jere and the drowning Shania enjoying their meal.

Shania glanced at Jere for a moment there was a sense of awkwardness when Jere did not talk much like today, however annoying this child, he was still a good man who always cared and cared for Shania.

"You shouldn't bother like this!" Shania.

Jere raised his face, looking at Shania who had been staring at him "I don't bother!"

"Then what is all this?"

"I said, I don't bother. Just so you're going to accompany me!"

"I guessed it!" Shania smiled slantingly putting down the spoon a little rough until it sounded clinking.

"You don't want to? jere asked before gulping his water for half leisurely.

"When am I not with you? I'm always with you even stalking your boyfriend, watching your fucking friends, even I'm the one who's waiting for you to shoot around even for hours?" Shania.

"I'm tired of you" he said then with a sullen face "But since you're such a good and handsome friend, I'll accompany you wherever you want!" he then smiled, patting Jeremy on the shoulder.

Jere chuckles. A smile was engraved on her face as Shania's hand slapped her shoulder a little hard, painful but nothing compared to the expression she had just heard. Everything sounds fun.

"Then what?"

"After Lora came I realized if I kept sinking into my mind, I would never go forward like that. So I decided, to attend Tom's show. Isn't that a decision in the form of my maturity?"

Jere nodded briefly.

"So, would you like to accompany me to come there too?" Shania asked with a tone of speech in an even more hopeful manner.

Waw. Bravo.

"Yep, with pleasure, but after that you can't cry over someone's husband anymore"

Jere again clapped his victory hand, he did not need to invite and persuade Shania to go to the Tom event again because by itself the woman who took the initiative to come.

"But you should also accompany me to attend Yura's event" Pinta Jere.

"okkey. Deal"

"After this, don't be mad at me anymore. I'll let you work again, but I can't find you crying anymore" Jere held Shania's hand. "I want you to always be okay" he continued.

Shania fell silent, her smile slowly fading away. But a second later he smiled back then nodded.

"As long as you don't set me up, you're not an annoying guy" he said "Nih, eat good!" Shania feeds Jeremy a piece of meat into Jere's mouth.

"After this you go home, yes, I will come to your house! Jean told you to take you home" said Shania "I'm ashamed, as if I asked you to come here"

"Ayeah"

"Where is there!!" Shania hit Jere again.

"If you don't say you want to, I won't come. So, if I don't want to keep bothering you tell me that you want to be with me constantly" Jere said with a sly smile, while Shania only heard him with a lazy look.

"Kal bulusmu"
