Conscious After a Treasure Depleted

I Love You

Mr. Ando took Zarina to go to the stall located at the end of the border of the village where they lived. The stall was a bit far from the residential area and became a stopover for those who traveled far. Local villagers also occasionally visit the place, especially young couples.

The atmosphere there is quiet again and according to the owner usually before dawn is crowded because the drivers and passengers who travel from outside the city will stop so that the shop owners stay awake alternately.

"Order the white rice with grilled fish side dishes!" Mr. Ando ordered food after asking Zarina for her approval.

"Yes sir, please wait, we will process it right now!" said Mr. Marno the owner of the stall.

The stall serves food in a fresh and hot condition so that many customers become addicted and always want to stop by to enjoy the cuisine at that place.

"Where are you going and where?" asked Mr. Marno in a friendly manner.

This hospitality is also a special attraction for visitors. Asti's mother, his wife is also very friendly and always serves sincerely. Likewise with two of his parents who they hired to help with the work there. They all have a polite and friendly attitude.

"If I come from a neighboring village and my friend is a real person here as well" said Mr. Ando.

Mr. Marno mangosteen heard the explanation from his customers and then went to the kitchen to process the food ordered by them.

After Mr. Marno disappeared behind the curtain between the kitchen and where they were sitting in the gospel, Mr. Ando became agitated because the sentence he had long compiled to convey to Zarina suddenly disappeared from his memory.

"Mmm, uhhh, uh..," said Mr. Ando not clear.

"What's up, sir?" asked Zarina astonished to see the face of Mr. Ando who was reminiscent.

"Why aren't you married?" The sentence suddenly shot out of Mr. Ando's mouth when it was never in the clothes of a number of sentences that he had prepared before.

He sighed heavily and regretted having said that question. Let alone the question offend the woman before him at this moment because Zarina was silent and lowered her head.

The shadow of Alga and Tini instantly appeared in Zarina's mind. They must have a baby now! His mind is in his heart, while he is still alone and has often heard insinuations from people who call him a spinster.

"I'm sorry if my question offended you. I don't mean anything else and think of it as the wind then!" said Mr. Ando who felt very guilty.

"It's okay, really," said Zarina with a smile and a smile that always interferes with the days of Mr. Ando and makes him always restless.

"Tell me what you're thinking!" Zarina.

"But you promise you won't be angry?"

"That's a kind of kindergarten, TK's son,"

Mr. Ando laughed at Zarina's words.

"Actually I love you and if you are willing I will marry you soon!" Finally the sentence came out also on Mr. Ando's lips and with a pounding heart he waited for Zarina's reaction to respond to his words.

"Before I apologize for being presumptuous to reveal all this but the impulse from my heart most deeply compels me to do so, although I know it must be hard for you because I am a widower who has many children and even have grandchildren. So I give you a chance to think and this is not compulsion. One thing that has relieved me because today I have been frank with you about my feelings that have been a burden on my mind since our meeting some time ago," said Mr. Ando at length.

Zarina digested Mr. Ando's words and thought, maybe it's good for him to change his status.

Just now he was about to respond suddenly the pounding of Mr. Marno had appeared from behind the curtain while carrying their ordered food. The fragrant aroma of grilled fish arouses appetite making them want to devour it immediately.

"Please enjoy, it's still hot!"

"Thank you!"

Both of them also enjoy the food while occasionally commenting on truly savory cuisine.

"Where do you like it?" ask Mr. Ando.

"Like it, thank you for bringing me here!"

"If you don't mind, we'll be here again tomorrow!"

Zarina smiled then nodded. Mr. Ando was very happy because he could already conclude that this woman before him gave him a chance.
