BEFORE 12PM

MARRIE STROLLS WITH OSCAR

A warm smile that from morning had painted Marrie's face. It slowly disappeared, changing with the sadness he felt when he saw his parents fighting. Marrie was still struck by Julien's slap on Beatrice's left cheek. The slap was quite painful physically and mentally of course.

Sometimes Marrie had to dry her eyes that kept shedding tears, when she recalled the incident. The quarrel was triggered by the desire of Marrie who wanted to go with Oscar. But it became a great quarrel involving many parties in his extended family.

So deep was Marrie rethinking the plight of events. The phone call from Oscar was just missed by him. Though Marrie's phone is next to his body sitting on a mattress. Just called the second phone, Marrie realized there was an incoming phone call on the phone.

Again trying to dry the tears that kept falling soaked his face. Before finally, Marrie picked up a phone call from the Oscar.

"Hallo Marrie." A greeting from Oscar.

"Hallo Oscar." Marrie replied in a sad tone.

Heard Marrie's voice sounding like someone who had cried. Oscar was immediately panicked. He immediately said if Marrie was okay. Or something bad has happened to him.

But Marrie didn't tell him everything on the phone. Marrie wants to tell Oscar the story as they travel around the city of Nice in a new car from Oscar.

Oscar is at the gate of Marrie's house. She waited for Marrie to get out of the house. Marrie who is ready to leave, does not have to make Oscar wait long. He's ready to go with Oscar today.

The attention of Oscar was immediately seen when Marrie was in front of the gate of the house. With the sensibility of an Oscar, he immediately pushed the gates of Marrie's house. Until Marrie did not have to bother to open and close the gate of his house.

"Thank you Oscar." Marrie said with a soft voice that was still heard.

"Together." Answer the Oscar briefly.

Oscar's return shows the romantic side of him to Marrie. Oscar opened the car door for Marrie to get in. Again a thank you was given to Oscar Marrie. Then Oscar replied softly, the same sentence.

Once in the car, Marrie forgot not to put her seatbelt on. Before running the car, Oscar who saw Marrie still did not put the seatbelt. With a quick response, the seat belt was coiled around Marrie's body.

Marrie is made even more fascinated with every real act shown by Oscar. Where Oscar is so attentive and sensitive. Marrie fell in love with an Oscar.

"Where are we going?" Ask Oscar to step on the gas in his car.

"As far as you." Reply Marrie resigned.

Seeing the expression on Marrie's face that was so tangled. And Marrie's voice sounded like someone who had cried. Finally made Oscar curious about the condition of Marrie itself. He asked what happened to Marrie. Until it looks like it usually does.

"What's up Marrie. I thought you were different today?" Ask Oscar so gently.

"Do you want to hear from me?" Ask Marrie back.

"Why not, I'm now your best friend. So I should have been there when you were as bad as today." Oscar answered so wisely.

"Wait.... You mean, now your father has two wives. So that young lady in your house is your father's second wife?" Ask Oscar so curious.

"More or less like that." Marrie answered so briefly.

Oscar spoke in his heart. Of course this is important information that Oscar must convey to Thomas. Given Julien's having two wives which in French culture was strictly prohibited. Oscar would probably do that. Given the kindness of a Julien's no less great to him. Julien's has given a lot of material to Oscar. No less far than what Thomas has given to Oscar.

Seeing Oscar muttering to himself, Marrie immediately asked Oscar. What made him speak in his heart. Oscar immediately switched the conversation, where Oscar said he was thinking about the difficult feelings that Julien's father might experience. Trapped in a strange situation. Between remaining faithful to his first wife, or fulfilling his biological needs as an ordinary human being.

To dispel the sadness that is plaguing Marrie. Oscar promised to make Marrie smile again. Given today Oscar has a new car that is still good to take to the streets with time and a long distance.

The first destination is certainly the city square of Nice which is famous for its historic buildings. Where Marrie and Oscar can see iconic buildings typical of the middle ages. In addition to seeing the iconic building, there is also a lot of Marrie and Oscar capture the moment by taking pictures in some beautiful photo spots.

Satisfied with the city square that presents a panoramic view of iconic buildings typical of the middle ages. The second destination of the Oscars is the famous and enchanting beaches of Nice. But unfortunately today both of them do not carry beach clothes. Until then arrived at the beach, both Marrie and Oscar. Just looking at the vast ocean from beside his car.

The sun is shining on the beach. It made Oscar thirsty. He offered a drink to Marrie. But Marrie does not want to drink, maybe ice cream can be a menu that is quite delicious eaten when the weather is hot like this.

Oscar swiftly searched for water and ice cream sellers around the beach. Not too far from the car. Oscar eventually found a shop selling water and ice cream that Marrie asked for.

Oscar brought an ice cream with pink corn. While piles of ice cream that varies, ranging from vanilla, chocolate to strawberries. The taste of ice cream will vary.

"Wouldn't you have ice cream?" Ask Oscar to tease Marrie.

"less anyway... Because it's just one doang." Replied Marrie no less tempting.

"Don't eat a lot of ice cream. Your teeth will hurt." Advice Oscar.

"You think I'm a little kid, after eating ice cream, it's a toothache. I often know eating ice cream. But never a toothache." Marrie was so sure.

"Maybe not yet. Later if more often, you will have a toothache." Tempta Oscar is back.

Then immediately replied by Marrie with a fist.

"But from just that ice, we can learn the meaning of life." Oscar said convincingly.

"meaning?" Marrie looked at Oscar's face.

"Yes, I think ice cream is just like life. When we leave the ice cream at room temperature. Then the ice cream will just melt away. But when we put it in the refrigerator, the ice cream will remain frozen and delicious to eat. It's just like life. We may always think we feel useless. Even though we are in the wrong place, where no one can appreciate the slightest effort. Until we feel ourselves as failures. In fact, we fail to choose a place to stand." Oscar is so detailed.

Listen to a cool remark from Oscar. Marrie smiled back. He was impressed by the words spoken by Oscar. Where words are full of motivation and purpose in life.
