The Marriage Of The Game
33 - Picnic

..."Instead of finding a way to hate you, I'm gonna find a way to make you like me."...

...__________...

The car stops right on the grass with a view of the lake in front of it. Aleta got out of the car and stepped excitedly towards the lake. His two eyes sparkled happily, despite only seeing a lake.

The cool and peaceful atmosphere seemed to usher in his happiness that morning, at least he forgot a little bit of his sadness, Damar thought. Yes Damar was deliberately intended to invite Aleta to a picnic, just pay for her guilt last night.

I don't know what was on the man's mind to invite his wife on an excursion, even though only on the edge of the lake that is far from the word luxury. Even so, he likes it too.

Damar lowered the food basket with a pedestal for them to sit there. Aleta who saw Damar having trouble immediately ran over to help him, but the man refused on a pretext,

"It's a man's job, you don't have to carry this!" emphatically.

Aleta heard the narration of Damar actually made himself not want to just stay still, then he took the pedestal from Damar's grasp which was then carried. Immediately he spread the striped pedestal over the grass, after which Damar placed a picnic basket on it.

The man took out one by one snacks in the basket, ranging from four pieces of sandwiches, some fruits, dry food

others, as well as fresh fruit juice and do not forget mineral water.

Presented the food on the plate one by one, although it looks simple but the food plating done Damar looks beautiful and attractive. So that makes Aleta impatiently want to devour it immediately.

"You have the talent to also arrange this food," said Aleta while observing Damar's busyness.

"Only women can do that." The reply without looking towards Aleta.

"Yes, I think your skills can only rule and snap," he said.

Damar glanced at the cynics that immediately made Aleta's lips clenched and no longer dared to speak.

...***...

Erick looks busy when he replaces Damar as CEO at the company. That morning, Dania the Secretary gave a pile of maps that must be checked again by him, to review the ideas of the employees in the Marketing section, so that later it would be easier for Damar to agree to the idea.

Geck!

Geck!

Yuri entered the room after knocking on the door. He was a little surprised to see Erick sitting on the oversized seat of Damar.

Yuri looked to the left and to the right. "Where's room?" yuri asked as she approached the table.

"The boss is having a picnic with his wife." Erick answered frankly.

"What!!" Yuri was wide-eyed with an annoyed tone of pronunciation.

Erick does not answer his surprise, he does not care about Yuri, although he knows very well if Yuri is upset and annoyed to hear Damar with Aleta.

"Where did they go?" ask Yuri to know.

Erick put his shoulder down. "Come on, boss didn't tell me where they were going!" the answer.

"Ck!" Yuri clucked in annoyance before she stepped out of Damar's study.

"Why else would you take care of his life, my boss has a family so you better take care of your own life!" murmured Erick as he stared at Yuri's back.

...***...

Damar and Aleta really enjoyed their holiday atmosphere. While chewing the sandwich, the two could not be separated to look at the duck boat parked on the edge of the lake.

Damar who had been riding it for quite a long time never again, intended to try it again. He once boarded the boat with Yuri while they were on a year-end vacation.

While Aleta never once felt the boat, because during her life can only stay at home without exception working. That's why he was so happy when Damar took him on vacation.

"Hurry to finish your sandwich," he scolded as he turned to Aleta.

"Can I get on that duck boat?" tanyanya expectantly.

"Don't bother me." Reject raw.

"I promise I won't bother you" he said as he stuck out two fingers in front of Damar— - a sign that Aleta was really serious in her promise.

"Remove your sandwich!" adamant Damar did not reply Aleta seriousness.

Damar also stood up from his seat which then stepped away leaving Aleta who was still wearing a sour face. The woman also did not care where Damar went, all she did was spend a sandwich and sat there staring at the people who were busy riding the duck boat.

"If only I had money, maybe I wouldn't have to get approval from him." Inner irritated.

Shortly afterwards came a duck boat that deliberately approached her, Aleta who looked confused trying to squint her eyes, to reinforce her vision.

"Let's get on!" someone's orders from inside the boat.

"The room? didn't he just refuse to get on that boat!" his murmur was nailed for a moment.

"You want to ride no? otherwise I'll leave you here" Damar threatened a little forcefully.

Without thinking, Aleta approached the edge of the lake and stepped carefully to get into the boat. He sat down next to Damar.

He circulates the vision throughout the boat, although it is said to be hick, Aleta does not care. His curiosity was greater than his embarrassment.

"Hurry and help me pedal!" damar.

Aleta saw Damar who was busy pedaling the boat, before he finally pedaled his pedal. The boat sailed over the lake. Aleta looks excited, mimic her face is satisfied to feel the coolness of the breeze and the lake water is so clear.

"Aah!"

Aleta was surprised to make Damar stop paddling for a moment and immediately turned to her.

"What's wrong?" ask Damar curiously.

"We left the stuff there!" said panic.

Damar sighed. "You don't have to worry, I've asked the officer there to keep an eye on our belongings." Evidently.

"Oh, I forgot!" she exclaimed, "I shouldn't have to worry about it, you can do everything easily." Inner Aleta.

"You forgot what?" asked Damar who was again made curious by the words of Aleta.

Aleta shook her head quickly followed by the smile of her feet.

"Basic strange woman." Criticize Damar while continuing to pedal his pedal.

Arriving in the middle of the lake, Damar seemed to have difficulty pedaling the pedal that was getting heavy. It was obvious that sweat was flooding his forehead to flow into his chin, though he hid the tiredness in front of Aleta under the pretext of prestige.

Damar saw the direction of Aleta's feet that had not pedaled him since, which Aleta did just follow the pedal.

"Why don't you help me pedal this boat?" ask Damar annoyed.

"I'm tired." Answer lightly.

Damar stared cynically. "It's easy once you answer it. Hurry up and help me!" strict orders.

"No way." Reject Aleta quickly.

"What did you say!" furious Damar wide.

"You're a man, I don't have to do this." His words seemed to repeat the sentence that Damar had thrown.

"Aarghhhh!!" scream Damar who was furious when he heard Aleta's words.

"Please Tn. Damar continue to paddle, you are a strong man, surely this is not difficult for you!" ledek Aleta while smiling satisfied with his success at Damar.
