About Taste

Yura's Request

Ella looked down embarrassed when she heard the laughter of Kairi who was outside the room.

"Basic pervert!!" yell Ella was upset.

Then he got out of bed, and stepped onto the sofa. Ella sat there staring at the neatly arranged pile of books on the table. Ella got one of the top books, a book on business. Ella opened it, and looking at each of its sheets, ahh all about business theory, it's a little hard to understand.

Ella continued to open each sheet until it reached the very back of the page, and her eyes were fixed on the handwriting contained in the field.

In solitude

I drowned in memories

Just the wishful thinking I've been dangling in between longings

I raise my hand

Expect God to give way

For us to be together

Re-knit the delayed love

"It turns out Kairi can write poetry" Ella said slowly.

Then he went back to reading the poem, and understood its meaning.

"It's a poem about longing for someone you love. Kairi wrote this poem for whom." Ella said as she groped the writing.

"What are you doing, baby?" asked Kairi who had just entered the room, he brought a plate of rice, and a glass of water which was then placed on the table.

"Read." answered Ella briefly. I don't know why his heart ached after reading the poem.

"You're interested in business?" kairi asked as she looked at the book Ella was holding.

"No, I'm interested in literature." replied Ella.

"But it's a business book baby, I don't have a literature book" Kairi said.

"But this is a literary book, the proof is that there is poetry here, the lyrics are very touching, definitely write it with the heart" Ella said with a sweet lips.

"What do you mean, baby? what poem?" kairi asked as she frowned.

"Who are you writing this for?" asked Ella while showing her the poem she had read.

Kairi grabbed the book, and read the poem. Kairi smiled blandly, she recalled the past time while writing the poem. He was alone and feeling lonely, he really wanted the presence of someone he loved very much.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think it is" Kairi said, closing the book and putting it on the table.

"For Angelina ya." said Ella while looking at Kairi.

"Don't be reckless, I never miss her." Kairi replied as she ruffled Ella's hair.

"Eat, it's still warm" Kairi said, scooping the rice and eggs, and then feeding them into Ella's mouth.

"I can eat by myself" Ella said as she grabbed the plate, and the spoon.

"I'm a bribe dear." said Kairi.

"No need." Ella replied in annoyance.

"You're still angry, aren't you?" kairi asked while looking at Ella.

"You're not being honest" Ella said as she chewed her food.

"I'm always honest, baby, I don't lie" Kairi said.

"If the poem wasn't for Angelina, then for whom? judging from the writing you miss her so much, is that for your first love?" ella asked while glancing at Kairi.

"No." replied Kairi.

"Then?" ask Ella.

"Are you jealous baby, do you want me to do a poem?" tanya Kairi teases Ella.

"You're not funny!" ella said as she fed her food back. His tone was very flat, it was clear if he was upset.

"Who do you really want to know who that poem is for?" ask Kairi.

"Yes, you already know a lot about me, so it's not wrong, if I want to know about you too" Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"The poem is for someone I love so much, whose presence I miss so much. The love I mean, not love for lovers, but for families. Gabriella, I wrote that poem to my mother, back then I really missed her" Kairi said at length.

"What?" muttered Ella quietly, she put down the spoon she was holding. Ella grabbed Kairi's hand and grasped it tightly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought Kai up" Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"It's okay, I'm also happy to explain it, this way you don't misunderstand anymore right" said Kairi with a smile.

"Loving someone who can't come back is indeed a pain Kai, I also felt it when I missed Dad. But I realized, this is the path God has destined for us, I'm sure there must be wisdom in every disaster" Ella said with a smile.

"Losting Dad." muttered Kairi. while frowning her forehead.

"Yes, my father is gone too. I told you about it." said Ella.

"Yes, but me." said Kairi.

"Thank God, even if you don't have a mother, at least you still have a father. So don't be sad anymore either." Kairi said as she looked at Kairi.

"Hmmm yes." replied Kairi with a smile.

Ella also smiled, then she resumed eating.

Kairi looked at Ella while scratching her non-itchy head.

"It looks like you've misunderstood baby, but how yes, wanting to explain right now is also too complicated. Ahh, I'll explain it to you later." Kairi's inner self in her heart.

"Now drink this!" kairi said while offering her vitamins, when Ella had just finished her meal.

"Did you take me to the hospital?" ask Ella while reaching for her vitamins.

"No, the doctor came here. He was Jacub, a close friend of mine when I was in college in France" Kairi replied.

"Lecture in France, so after Kairi High School back to France. Actually how long Kairi stayed in Indonesia." Inner Ella while looking at Kairi.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" kairi asked as she watched Ella fall silent.

"No, it's okay" Ella replied nervously.

"Tomorrow you call the owner of the contract, say if you want to talk. Let Rey bring your things here" Kairi said.

"What!! I don't want to stay here Kai." cried Ella.

"Then?" kairi asked while raising her eyebrows.

"I'll stay there, I can't stay on one roof with you" Ella said quickly.

"No, I don't want anything bad to happen to you anymore. You have to stay here, so that I can always take care of you" Kairi said firmly.

"But I can't Kai, I don't want to stay one roof with you. We're not kosher Kai yet" Ella said.

"Then tomorrow we go back to Indonesia, ask for the blessing of your mother and we get married. So you can be free to stay here." said Kairi did not want to lose.

"But I still want to work, give me another month or two. Getting married isn't that easy as Kai" Ella said.

"I can give you time, but I can't let you stay out there alone. So, married or not, you have to stay here" Kairi said.

Ella breathed out violently.

A middle-aged woman was standing by the window of her room. Staring at the dawn that began to dawn on the east horizon. His eyes began to glaze over as he remembered about someone who had gone to face the Almighty.

"Mas Adit." said Ms. Mirna quietly, holding her chest tight.

A clear thread began to drip down his cheeks, hurt, his heart really hurt, when considering the sudden departure of Mr. Adit.

"Why did you leave so fast Mas, I still need you" said Ms. Mirna with tears in her eyes.

Then Miss Mirna closed the curtains of her room, stepped away from the window, and sat down on the sofa. His body was still a little weak, just last night he was out of the hospital.

"I have to recover quickly, pity Andra, her fiance is delayed because of my condition" said Ms Mirna as she poured water into her glass. Then Mirna took him to the toilet, and then she wiped her tears.

Miss Mirna got up from her seat, and stepped out of the room, she went to the kitchen and saw Bik Surti who was cooking.

"My lady why is it here, Madam just rest in the room" said Bik Surti when he saw Miss Mirna coming to him.

"I'm bored Bik." replied Miss Mirna.

"But not here Madam, Mr. Andra will be angry. Madam just watch tv in the living room, or just sit at the dining table, later I will make a drink for Madam" said Bik Surti.

"No Bik, I'm just here to see Bik Surti cook." said Ms Mirna while sitting in the kitchen chair.

"Alright Madam" said Bik Surti while scratching his head, then he returned to work.

Bik Surti also makes warm tea for Ms. Mirna.

Shortly thereafter, Andra came still in her sleeping pajamas. He frowned in surprise when he saw his mother drinking tea in the kitchen chair.

"Mama!" call Andra.

"Eh Andra, you're awake son" said Ms. Mirna with a smile.

"Mom why here, Mama should just rest in the room" Andra said as she approached her mother.

"Mama's tired of Ndra, after all Mama's just sitting here, doing nothing" replied Ms. Mirna.

"Promise me that you just sit down, I don't want you to do anything heavy. Mama's condition has not fully recovered, Mama must rest a lot" said Andra while crouching in front of her mother.

"Yes, you take it easy, Mama didn't do anything" Ms Mirna said with a smile.

"I just want Mama to heal quickly" said Andra while returning her mother's smile.

"You can't wait for a fiancee with Nadhira huh." seduced Bu Mirna while rubbing Andra's head.

"It's not so Ma, I don't have the heart to see Mama continue to hurt. Look at Mama's body now, so skinny right" Andra said as she looked at her mother.

"It's just your feeling Ndra, Mama's body is still, not thin" said Ms Mirna as she raised her hand, and showed it to Andra.

"But according to Andra's skinny Ma" Andra said.

"Ahh it's up to you. Oh yes Ndra, keep planning when are you engaged?" ask Miss Mirna.

"Maybe next month Ma, while waiting for his health Mama fully recovered." replied Andra.

"Mama is healthy Ndra" said Ms. Mirna.

"Yet, Mama's physical still weak, I have to wait until the condition of Mama recovered as before. After all, lately the work in the office is still piling up Ma, and next week Nadhira also has a photo shoot outside the city. So we plan it next month alone" Andra explained.

"Yes, then, Mama wish you all the best." said Ms. Mirna.

"Thank you Ma" Andra said with a smile.

Ms. Mirna returned her son's smile while nodding.

Bik Surti looked at them with a smile.

"I am very happy, seeing the relationship between Mrs and Mr. Andra as harmonious as this. Let's just hope their relationship stays like this, and hopefully this family can come back as intact as before." Bik Surti inner with a big smile.

Dimas growled in annoyance while slamming his phone. He who had just returned from Oxford, suddenly got a phone call from the police. His wife, Yura Esterina Collin, was arrested for kidnapping and molesting Gabriella Tamara.

"What are you doing Yura!" yelled Dimas while ruffling his hair violently. Then he quickly grabbed his car keys, and went back to leave the house. He drove his car quickly, hoping to get to the police station soon, and soon met his wife.

"I just want to make amends for my past mistakes, but why is fate so cruel to me. Now my good intentions are even a disaster in my household" Dimas said as he continued to drive his car.

About an hour later, Dimas arrived at the police station. He parked his car, and rushed in to meet Yura.

Dimas's heart, which was originally filled with anger, was now melted and sliced with pain, when he saw Yura sitting on her knees, crying bitterly behind the barren room. Then a policeman came and opened the room. He invited Yura out, and found Dimas.

Yura got up from her seat, she walked up to Dimas while looking down.

"Dimas forgive me" Yura said as she hugged Dimas, sobbing in her husband's arms.

"What are you thinking? why did you do this?" dimas asked as he returned Yura's embrace, he rubbed his wife's back slowly.

"I'm jealous of Dim." replied Yura while still crying.

Dimas closed his eyes, why is it now this complicated.

"O Allah, I was wrong, my attitude towards Ella was excessive. Now what should I do." Inner Dimas in his heart.

"Please get me Dim" Yura said as she let go of her embrace.

Dimas tidied up Yura's messy hair, then he wiped his tears.

"This why?" asked Dimas while touching Yura's bruised cheek.

"Kairi slapped me." Yura replied.

"You should think before you act. Now that you're on a loss yourself, you've lost your job, and you've got to be held here, whereas William needs you so much" Dimas said as he looked at Yura.

"You blame me Dim, don't you ever think, if I'm like this because of you. I just want you to stay away from Ella, but you never listen to me at all. You always put that woman together, you think I don't have a heart, you think I'm not jealous!!" yura shouted while beating Dimas' chest.

Dimas fell silent, confused as to what to say. He did not expect that his attention towards Ella, would be fatal like this. Oh my God, now what should he do?

"I'm sorry Yura, but I have nothing to do with Ella. I've told you many times, you're the only woman I love." Dimas said.

"But your words don't match your attitude Dim!" yura Bent.

"I'm sorry Yura." said Dimas.

"I don't need your apologies, I just want you to get me out of here!" yura shouted.

"Give me time Yura" Dimas said with a long sigh.

"I want Dimas now, Mama and Papa to help you, I want you to get me out of here right now. I miss Willi Dim." Yura said in tears.

"You calm down first, I'll definitely try. But you know, Kairi Da Vinci is not a random person, I am not a match, for that I need a little time Yura" said Dimas while holding both shoulders Yura.

"Then we'll divorce. You once said divorce to me. Well, now that I passed your wish, we're divorced. I'm tired of having a husband like you, always making me hurt. So let me be a widow, I will look for another man who can love me completely, who can appreciate me as his wife" Yura said.

"Yura, what are you saying?" yell Dimas.

"I'm really tired Dim." Yura replied as she turned her body, and left Dimas.

Dimas stared at Yura's departure with teary eyes. For the first time he felt like he was the dumbest guy.

"Why did everything become like this?" say Dimas slowly. He scrunched his temple, his head felt dizzy and hurt.

Seriate......
