Delanie (Not a Wives Bet)

New neighbors

" Call me Ben"

Yes the man who approached me that morning named Ben, he was a new neighbor who would occupy the house in front of my house.

Actually that morning I wanted to go shopping at once and wanted to buy some kind of bread for supplies. My intention stopped because suddenly a young man with a handsome face and blue eyes came to me.

As luck turns out this man comes from the territory of Indonesia precisely Manado, he is blatesran Indonesia and Manado and he grew up there

Apparently he had moved away a few days ago just that I was too busy to notice him.

" I can guess that you're Indonesian" Ben said quite kindly

" Want hot chocolate??" I said offer, it does not feel good if I immediately throw it out for shopping reasons.

" Do you have Delanie Tea" she said, calling my name immediately, she felt instantly familiar even though she was first with me

" All right" I said as I left

I also make jasmine-scented tea like tea in Indonesia, I bought goods at an Asian store a few days ago.

" I'm finishing my thesis here, I'm studying in London and I'm looking at a different lifestyle in a different city"

" Oh yeah?? I said pura awasih

" What if you were in college??" ask Ben

" I'm in a dance class" I said

" Dance???Dance?? or??"

" Belerina" I replied as I sipped my own tea

" A long way here??" ben said with a little confusion

" Is it weird??" I said in a protest-sounding tone

" Not only does that sound rare especially as I would say in Indonesia there are dance classes that are no less good. You're a pretty brave girl, Delanie" Ben said

I don't know if it's a compliment or even a mockery, not everyone understands the purpose and what's going on with me.

For the past few days Ven has been so intense to see me even without my knowledge this afternoon Ben was in front of the building and was waiting for me.

Seeing Ben standing on the porch of the building made my heart shake a little, I didn't expect Ben to be that close.

Ben smiled as he waved at me, I just smiled faintly as I approached him.

"Is today fun??" ask Ben

" That's it" I said, still confused

" How about we stop by there" Ben said, pointing to a tavern that provided some drinks and snacks for the dancers

" Whatever" I said

Ben and I ended up sitting down and enjoying the hot chocolate that Ben ordered.

" It doesn't seem like you're okay Delanie" Ben said as if reading my mind.

It was true that day the dance looked a little worse than usual and Mrs Winnie reprimanded me for it.

" No, I'm just a little tired" I said

I looked into Ben's pretty shady blue eyes, and over the course of a few days getting to know Ben I started to feel comfortable being around him.

" It's not just that what we expect doesn't match reality" I said

" That's the usual thing, Delanie, how about tonight we barbecue in front of your house, I happen to be good at baking" Ben comforted me

" really?? suddenly I just want it" I said enthusiastically, my sadness suddenly turned into a sense of spirit.

That night Ben did it right, after shopping for some kind of meat and sausage, Ben ou. came and prepared the necessary items.

Starting from the grill, seasoning, and some vegetables to be used as decoration. I looked at him with admiration, in my eyes Ben transformed like a professional Chef.

" What about satay??" I said, I don't know why I came to want that food.

"'Good idea, want some peanuts or soy sauce??" ask Ben

" Can you sir??" I ask at least doubt

" Give it to me" Ben said confidently

" Sobbly sauce" I said,

Deftly Ben immediately soaked cut the chicken into small pieces and soaked it with a concoction of spices that he made.

" What about me??"

" Just look at me" said Ben, blinking his eyes

" Dugggggggg"

My heart was pounding again until I couldn't blink my eyes

" What happened to me" I said to myself, moreover I felt a heat striking my face

Excuse me for going to the bathroom, so that my breath becomes breathless I look in the mirror while touching my chest.

" Why does it feel so fast" I said as I tried to calm myself down

" I can't." I said again.

I then washed my face so that I could feel a little cold after the heat attack done by Ben

Though it was just a blink of an eye, why would Ben be able to sedate me so strongly

" What science does he have" I thought

Ben treated me in a way that I thought was a little different, inexplicably just riding a bike with him just made me so happy...

I don't think Ben is like a young man in general let alone the men who know me as Miss Okta.

Sometimes to approach me they have to measure my lifestyle by material things. Take me to a prestigious place or something different from Ben who treats me as I am.

" Is it because he doesn't know my family??"

I don't know what's important is that I'm comfortable with him and unfortunately I want to enjoy him, enjoy what I never did before.
