First Day in Paris

Kairi exits her apartment, and then enters her father's apartment. When he opened the door, he saw his father sitting on the living room couch, sipping a cup of coffee.

Kairi went straight to her father, and sat down next to him.

"How's Papa doing ?" kairi asked while hugging Mr. Louis.

"Papa is fine, and it would be better if you immediately fondle the grandchildren" replied Mr. Louis with a chuckle.

Kairi responded with a smile, not a grunt as usual. His father was like that, he had always wanted Kairi to get married quickly.

"Congratulations Kairi Pa, may everything go smoothly, so Papa will immediately fondle the grandchildren" Kairi said with a smile, and let go of his embrace.

Mr. Louis looked at Kairi without a blink.

"You've got a future wife?, is she Angelina ?" ask Mr. Louis to be curious.

"Not Pa." Kairi replied while shaking her head.

"Not Angelina?, then who ?" ask Mr. Louis while looking at Kairi.

"Someone Pa, but also can not be called a future wife" replied Kairi while scratching his scratching head.

"So, why ask for prayer. Ahh it's up to you, please if you want to sing until old, tired Papa expects grandchildren from you" said Mr. Louis with annoyance.

"Ahh Papa, doain son himself is really ugly." - grumbled Kairi.

Mr. Louis did not answer, he just sneered at Kairi's words.

"I love him Pa, but I don't know, he loves me or not" Kairi murmured.

"If you love her, say dong, don't shut up. Let you know what she feels like" said Mr. Louis.

"I'll reveal it soon Pa, but I'm also waiting for the right time. I'm still trying to make her fall in love with me Pa." replied Kairi.

"That's great. One thing you should always remember Kai, never force love. Because women are also entitled to vote, we must respect them" Mr. Louis said, patting Kairi on the shoulder.

"Yes Pa, I understand." Kairi replied with a smile.

"He's a Londoner, or a Frenchman ?" ask Mr. Louis to be curious.

"Not two Pa. He is Indonesian." replied Kairi quietly, glancing at Mr. Louis.

"Indonesian. Are you sure of your choice, Kai ?" ask Mr. Louis while looking at his son.

"I'm sure Pa. I have taken all the wounds that have happened to me in the past. Now I realize that only one Pa hurt me, so why should I avoid so many people, just because they are based in the same country" Kairi replied.

"It's good that you can think that wise. Papa is proud of you. But by the way why did you bring your bag here ?" asked Mr. Louis while staring at the backpack Kairi was carrying.

"I slept here Pa. Papa doesn't mind, does he ?" kairi asked while glancing at Mr. Louis.

"Papa didn't hear wrong. Usually you don't want to leave your room." said Mr. Louis.

"My room is now again inhabited by someone Pa" Kairi said with a slanted smile.

"You mean ?" asked Mr. Louis while looking at Kairi.

"Someone I love is sleeping there Pa." replied Kairi with a big smile.

"You're serious?, you brought her home Kai. Tomorrow you bring him here, Papa can't wait to see him" Mr. Louis said enthusiastically.

"Don't just Pa. If he has accepted my love, then I introduce him to Papa. Anyway, we are here for work, Pa." said Kairi.

"As far as you are. But Papa reminded me yes, if indeed love immediately revealed. If it's a long time, the hunt will be taken, bite your finger" said Mr. Louis firmly.

"Yes Pa." replied Kairi.

*****

The sun peeked shamefully at the eastern horizon. His beautiful rays of blood swept across the city. Ella stood by the window. Staring at the towering iron tower. Although it no longer shines like last night, but the tower still looks amazing.

Ella remembered Andra, and it was Andra who promised to bring her here. But apparently, Ella had not been reunited with Andra, she had already come to this place.

"I've seen the real Eiffel Tower Ndra. You no longer have to keep your promise. I just hope you're always happy with Nadhira. I'm happy, because I can finally erase my feelings for you. Maybe our destiny is just Ndra's best friend." Ella muttered softly.

Then Ella stepped away from the window, and went into the bathroom.

Shortly after, Ella came out of the bathroom, wearing a light blue knee-length dress, with a small ribbon on her waist. Her hair was simply stroked, looking prettier with a thin makeup spread on her face.

Ella came out of her room, and headed to the kitchen. His stomach was rumbling, but he found nothing there. There was only tea, black coffee, and also sugar. Ella let out a long sigh, ahh inevitably she had to contact Kairi. Ella grabs her phone, tries to call Kairi, but until several calls, Kairi does not answer her phone.

Because of the pressure from her stomach, Ella finally stepped out of the apartment. He stared at the apartment next door, still tightly closed. Ella uncovers her intention to see Kairi, as she remembers that Kairi is living with her father. Embarrassed if Kairi's father finds out, he looks for Kairi when it's still morning.

Then Ella decided to go back into the apartment.

But not yet Ella stepped in, arrived the door of the apartment next door open.

Although he was old, but his good looks still emanated clearly from his face. His blue eyes are very harmonious combined with his gray brown hair. No wonder Kairi grew up to be a very handsome man, because his father was also this handsome.

"Good morning sir." said Ella with a smile.

"Good morning son." replied Mr. Louis, chuckling.

"What, Mr. Louis can also speak Indonesian ?. Ahh yes, they are big business, not a strange thing." Ella said.

"Kairi is waiting for you inside, he said he will take you to breakfast together. I'm sorry I can't accompany you guys, I had an important meeting this morning" Mr. Louis said.

"Oh yes sir, thank you." replied Ella nervously.

"Hurry in." said Mr. Louis with a big smile.

Ella nodded, and began to move her legs. Mr. Louis looked at him with a smile.

"I hope you can make Kairi a sweet girl happy. Poor him, always hurt, it's time he felt happy." murmured Mr. Louis when Ella was no longer seen.

Ella stopped her steps in the living room, she stared at the dining table that was visible from there. There was nothing on the table, not even a glass of water. Then where is Kairi waiting for him to have breakfast ?

And why is the apartment so quiet, where's the mother ?

"Kairi.." call Ella from the living room.

A few seconds Ella waited, but there was no reply from Kairi. Where the hell is that guy ?

Then Ella stepped back into the kitchen.

Not long after, Ella was there. He saw a man busy cooking in the kitchen. Is that really Kairi ?

"Kai.." call Ella slowly.

Kairi turned her head, and was a little surprised to see Ella coming. Because he will call the girl, when the food is ripe. And now the girl was already standing in front of him, when he had just started cooking.

"You're here ?" kairi asked as she frowned.

"Sorry I'm bothering you, I'll go first" Ella said nervously. Now he realized, apparently Mr. Louis had lied to him. If Kairi misunderstands, what ?

"Wait.'' Kairi shouted as Ella had already turned her body.

"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry" Ella said, speeding up her pace.

But not far away he stepped, Kairi already pulled his hand, and hugged him from behind.

Ella's heart was beating rapidly, she closed her eyes, why couldn't she resist Kairi's embrace ?

"Don't go, accompany me to cook" Kairi said quietly, almost like a whisper.

"Take me off" said Ella. He could not linger long in Kairi's arms, because the man's embrace was like magic to him. Her common sense could be eroded away, and Ella did not want that to happen.

"Don't go, accompany me to cooking." replied Kairi, repeating his words.

"I'm with you, but let me go" said Ella, keeping her eyes closed. He tries hard to control himself.

Then Kairi let go of her embrace, and took Ella back to the kitchen.

"What are you cooking ?" ella asked trying to cover up her nervousness.

"Soto meat." replied Kairi while putting the seasoning into the pot.

"Where does he know soto spice. Is that food in France too ?. If in London it is very rare, four years I was there, only once found a seller of soto. It is also in a typical Indonesian shop. And people like Kairi, I'm sure it's impossible to ever eat in such a simple stall. Ahh I feel, you are very familiar with the country of Indonesia Kai." muttered Ella in her heart.

"Kai.." call Ella.

"Hemm." replied Kairi with a slow mutter.

"Why lonely, where's your mother ?" ella asked while looking at Kairi.

"My mother is no longer Gabriella" Kairi replied quietly. Ella could see a look of sadness emanating clearly on Kairi's face.

"Sorry." said Ella.

"It's okay" Kairi replied with a smile, but Ella knew that smile was just to cover up her sadness.

"Don't be sad, he's happy there. You know, my dad's been gone, too, ever since I was a kid. And I'm covering that up. Because I know, God will never give anything wrong to any of his servants. There must be wisdom, behind the disaster, believe me." said Kairi while holding Kairi's arm.

Kairi looked at Ella with a smile. This girl was indeed amazing, it felt like Kairi was ashamed of herself.

The girl who no longer has a father, and struggles alone to pursue her ideals, can still smile in the midst of difficulties, and shortcomings.

While he, just did not have a mother, until almost frustrated, and blame fate. Though everything he wanted, he could reach it easily. Because he has more treasure.
