The man revealed a smile considering the arrival of Ega who suddenly disguised as a fan at a fan meeting this afternoon. Happiness bursts into her chest as soon as she finds Ega wearing her bead-giving bracelet, a very beautiful bracelet coiled around her beautiful wrist. The man then immediately grabbed his smartphone to contact a friend who is now his lover. I don't know why he missed so much the woman who had just met him this afternoon.
“Let's meet,” invite the man as soon as his phone connection gets an answer.
“Didn't I come to see you this afternoon?” answer the voice across.
“It was too short and it made me miss you,”. The phone call was silent.
“Pick up now. Get ready,” pinta men while hanging up his phone line, then he went to prepare.
A while passed, the man was neatly dressed in a white shirt and khaki pants. The warm scent of ceddarwood gushed from the burly body of the man. Rushing he entered the car and was about to pick up the woman he loved a long time ago.
...***...
In front of the white-fenced house, Ega had prepared with a graceful khaki midi dress. As if having such a strong inner bond, the two lovebirds were wearing clothes with matching colors. The man smiled as soon as he found Ega who had been waiting for him earlier, but the woman was surprised to see Iko's appearance.
“How can you look like this? No jackets? And, hats? Where's your hat, Iko?” Ega railed against Iko with many questions. The man did not answer. The man got out of the car and rushed to open the door for Ega and then closed it again after she thanked him.
“You haven't answered my question, Ko,” Ega repeated the question while putting a seatbelt on her body.
“Do not worry. Come along,”
“But-,” the woman's words paused.
“Ga, trust me. Everything's gonna be okay, okay?” the man reassured the woman sitting next to his steering chair, then drove the car he was driving through the crowded streets of the capital. The black car drove far north, far enough from the city crowd to take several hours before finally arriving at a restaurant with an open water concept that is quite syahdu. The restaurant is not too crowded with a private atmosphere. Either coincidentally or indeed Iko had rented the restaurant, so in that place there really were only the two of them and a few servants who greeted the two kindly. Iko then stuck her palm out at the woman.
“Follow me, Beautiful,” pinta men that immediately his hand stuck out warmly welcomed by Ega. The two lovebirds then walked hand in hand on a table with two chairs arranged face to face. The furniture with a predominance of white on it has been equipped with red heart-shaped candles and two glasses of opening drinks that look refreshing. Immediately Iko rewinded one of her chairs and invited Ega to sit down.
“Candle light dinner, hm?” terka Ega while smiling at Iko. The man replied with a smile and sat down in front of Ega. Only the table was a barrier between the two.
“I know this is too cliche. Private restaurants, small candles, dinner, and romantic music. You know, I'm inexperienced at this. But I hope you like it, Ega,”. Ega then chuckles to find the look on Iko's face that looks wrong.
“Do I look funny?” ask the man not to understand. Now the woman's laughter is chuckling.
“Uhm, honestly I also feel a little strange with this atmosphere. But it's okay, we'll just eat. Okay?” bargain Iko who is no less awkward over the idea of dinner that he created himself. Moments passed, the waiters came with a dinner menu that Iko had ordered. The two lovebirds then enjoy all the dishes, while occasionally chatting casually about meeting fans who had just been held this afternoon. As if the change in status between the two did not mean much that night, awkwardness quickly changed with a warm laugh as if repeating the beautiful moments of friendship that intertwined when still sitting in high school.
...***...
“Thank you for accompanying me to dinner today, Ga,” said the man after his private dinner was over and returned to take Ega home. The woman nodded while smiling her sweet smile.
“Same-same, Ko,” timpal woman it's short. Silence, awkwardness came back to the two.
“Iko..,”
“Hm?” The man answered slowly. The two eyes that fell in love with each other met again.
“I'm happy today. Thanks for that,”. The man then walked closer, eroding the distance with Ega to just a few feet away.
“May I ...,” the man's greeting is interrupted. I don't know why the man was nervous all of a sudden. Ega fell silent, as if understanding what was being desired by the man who slowly stroked gently at his nape and pulled him closer. Instantly the movement of the universe seemed to stop for a moment, letting the lovebirds were lulled in romance.
“I love you,” reset the man.
