Behind the Rain and Memories

14. Misjudged

Alina looked at the nano on the paper bag in her hand, the disappointed streak so clearly printed on the pretty face. Shouldn't he take Max's words seriously, the lunch he brought for the man ended up in vain. If only Max knew how much effort Alina had to put together the best menu for him.

Alina smiled wryly considering how troublesome she was this morning. Just to prove that she can cook, the girl was willing to fight with the kitchen since dawn. Asti's mother also lost the step made.

But unfortunately the struggle becomes meaningless, because the figure who wants to feel the cuisine just does not care, all day Max is busy with work, struggling with a variety of endless designs.

When lunchtime arrived, Alina deliberately asked the man for permission to rest, something she rarely did. But the sarcasm he threw to lure the man to collect his promise of fame had no effect whatsoever, Max remained focused on the drawing paper before him.

Taking a nimang during the break, Alina steadied her heart back and forth. However, he must provide that provision, about Max accept or not accept the business lately, which is important he has kept his promise.

But baby when he comes back, Max is no longer in his room. Alina feels tight. He raised his head, trying to hold the clear grain that arrived suddenly puddled in the eyes, for some reason he became so melancholy.

Alina also doesn't understand what she expects of a Max, while her heart space is still filled with Bryan's love. He repeatedly told himself that Max only thought he was a co-worker. But every time Max gives more attention, Alina always feels something different.

There may be some Bryan traits present in Max, but that's not enough to serve as an excuse for his strange feelings.

That's enough !! before this sense develops any further it helps me to keep my distance, the inner girl strengthens herself.

Alina let out a long sigh while wiping the water in the corner of her eyes and then storing the blue paper bag back. It could be that he gave the food to Tasya who is a hobby of eating, but surely Tasya will ask, why he brought two lunches. Moreover, it was out of Alina's habit, Tasya had a fairly high level of curiosity, if she sprained a little while answering, the girl would continue to terrorize him like a detective.

As soon as she was about to get out of her seat, Alina thought of something, she took the paperbag back, rather than waste it better the food she gave Morgan.

To Morgan he did not need to look for excuses, simply saying that he just wanted to share food. After all, Alina often brought food for Bryan, she also always exaggerated so that Bryan could share with his best friend.

Alina exited the elevator as soon as she reached the floor she was on. With a light step he stepped into Morgan's room, but unfortunately Morgan's secretary said the man had gone out to lunch. The curly-haired girl said she could leave a message, Alina shook her head and thanked him. He went away disappointed

Just a box of supplies so troubled him, if Morgan is not there, to whom else he will give this food, other than his team Alina not too know people from other divisions, he said, so it's not funny if he arrives to give food.

Wanting to give it to security, he was too lazy to go down to the lobby. Alina resigned, maybe this food is Tasya sustenance, he resigned if later Tasya asked such a question.

The movement of the elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and Alina was surprised to see Max enter the elevator with an expressionless face.

" Do you want to make me hungry on purpose?"

max said without looking. Alina who was standing behind Max frowned not understanding.

Not getting an answer, Max pressed the top floor on the elevator button until the elevator that had stopped on the tenth floor moved back.

" What do you do, if this elevator breaks down?" Alina was about to push back the floor button of their room but Max's hand held her back.

" Answer my question first, "Say Max coldly

Alina choked, Max's touch in her hand made another sigh in her heart. Slowly he brushed the man's hand away .

" I always keep my word, I think you don't want it" Alina said, handing her a blue paperbag.

" How can you think that I don't want to, that you don't even say anything" Max said, leaving Alina's hand hanging.

Alina did not refuse, because she felt ignored Max, she chose to be quiet. He was on purpose until Max asked first. But as soon as he realized his mistake, Max had already left the room.

" Take it or I'll give it to the others" Alina threatened and ignored Max's statement just now.

" Just go ahead, if Magh I relapse, you're the one responsible" Max replied not to lose.

" Okay I'm sorry, I thought you were busy, and I deliberately held back until you asked first,"

Max chuckles

" So you're proud if you have to give first"

Alina shrugged her shoulders

" Where did you come from with that paper bag?" Max continues to interrogate

" I was going to give it to you, but you're not there, I think you're going to lunch, rather than wanting to give it to Morgan, unfortunately Morgan's not there either"

Max shook his head, he felt Alina was too runyam, whereas if she wasn't around, why didn't Alina give it to Tasya or the others. Women are hard to understand.

Max again pressed the tenth floor button, Alina was relieved because Max finally no longer wanted to find it.

" By eating" said Max as soon as they arrived. Make Alina nelangsa and inevitably follow the steps of Max who has walked into his room.

Alina was grateful, their room was still empty, it turned out that the break was still 15 minutes away and that was enough until Max finished his meal. Of course, he did not want his friends to discover what was happening.

Rushing Alina opened the lunch box, moving it into the flat plate she had deliberately brought from home, she deftly prepared on the living table in the room while waiting for Max to finish washing his hands in the sink.

Max returned and immediately approached Alina who was already sitting on the sofa. The man looked in amazement at the menu Alina had made.

Meat steak with sesame sprinkles, plus black pepper sauce, from the aroma alone has tempted the taste, Alina replaced rice with french fries, not forgetting a small bowl of vegetable salad and a piece of pudding to wash the mouth.

Really right alloy fitting.

Whether by chance or not, Alina has given a lunch menu that is in accordance with Max's taste, western taste has always been a favorite of the man. Not that he does not like domestic food, it's just that since childhood Max including Picky Eater.

So difficult to eat, little Max had made his mommy very worried. Until mommy tries to find a solution through a nutritionist. From there mommy just knew that Max could not accept rice as a carb intake. Therefore, Mommy replaces it with other types of carbohydrates, such as flour or potatoes.

It didn't take long, Max had finished his lunch. Looking at the already slippery plate, Alina smiled in satisfaction.

" It feels so good, I pull the word kemaren"

Alina frowned,

" You turned out to be good at cooking, the texture of the meat is very soft. And the taste of the sauce is very juicy, I like it" Max gave a thumbs up

" really? it seems like my father is over-appreciating me" Alina humbled herself

" No, I am seriously" Max said

" And..."

Alina waited for Max to continue his words. Max looked at Alina carefully

" If you don't mind 'em, I'm really glad to try it again next time"
