Exchanging Bride
That's a dress for you



"Hi, Aldi." Kiara smiled waving to Aldi who was still standing still at the door of Kiara's apartment. Aldi just silently watched Kiara.


"We're going home together, right?" Kiara tried to get Aldi's response that did not return his greeting.


"En" Aldi only nodded briefly.


"Where are you going to take this?" Aldi asked as he walked into the apartment. Aldi observed two suitcases and four large boxes stacked in two each.


Looking at all the items that were ready to be brought, Kiara realized that all the items would not be able to get into Aldi's car. So Kiara will only bring some first. Tomorrow it will be taken again.


"Little suitcase first. Same as this box." Kiara pointed at the box containing foodstuffs. "The rest I take tomorrow."


"The rest are taken away?" Aldi furrowed his brows.


"Yes dong. I'm packing it to take."


While looking at Kiara calmly, Aldi pulled out his phone and contacted someone.


"You're back now... Straight to the 15th floor room number 1503... Yeah..."Aldi taped the phone without looking at Kiara again.


Kiara looked at Aldi. Waiting for Aldi's explanation will fill the phone just now. Kiara wondered who she was contacting. Moreover, Aldi also mentioned his apartment number to the person at the end of the phone.


"You're taking her little suitcase to the car. I'll follow you." That's Aldi's only order, no more explanation. Kiara wanted to ask, but abandoned her intentions. Aldi usually ignores Kiara if she is in a frugal mode talking like this. Kiara decided to just obey this man's orders. He just finished working on something important. You may be tired and not want to give a lot of explanations.


Unasked by Aldi, Kiara gives him the keys to her apartment. Because Aldi is still here with his belongings, then of course the last one who came out had to lock the door of his apartment.


Kiara casually headed to the apartment garage with her small suitcase. Directly arrange the suitcase in the car with his groceries in the back trunk, then turn on the car so that the car AC is also lit. Don't forget Kiara played her playlist. Then sat sweetly waiting for Aldi in the seat beside the steering wheel.


After a while, Kiara saw Aldi come with one box. The volume of the box is quite large. If raised with both hands as Aldi is doing at this time, Kiara is sure he will not be able to. Kiara originally planned to push the box away. Each box has a cover. Although it will fall apart, it does not matter either. The outside looks neat because there is a cover.


Aldi walked over with a flat facial expression. His face showed indifference to whatever was around him. He wears a plain beige shirt with black pants. No tie or suit. The top two shirt buttons were opened. Both ends of his sleeves were also rolled up until half of his arms were exposed. His arms look even more prominent.


Looking at Aldi walking with a rhythm that is not too slow or fast towards the car with such a look makes Kiara mind wanders to the incident last night. When Aldi only wore a towel limited to the waist. Kiara shook her head casting off Aldi's shadow.


After putting what was carried in the trunk of the back car, Aldi sat in the steering chair and ran his car. They're ready to go home.


"Do you want to keep it, what's the return?" Aldi took the keys out of his shirt pocket. Just showing it in front of Kiara.


"The rest of you are delivered after this." Aldi closed the conversation with his sentence and put the keys back in his pocket.


Kiara already does not care if the keys to her apartment are kept by Aldi back or even want Aldi to throw away though. Kiara did not want to create an excuse to meet Bima again.


Seeing Kiara busy with her own thoughts, Aldi focused on looking at the road. I don't want to mess with anything this girl thinks.


As Aldi said, a large suitcase containing clothes and three boxes containing kitchen utensils that Kiara dry arrived half an hour after Kiara arrived home. Aldi opened the door and received the arrival of the person who delivered his goods. Kiara herself did not know who delivered all her goods. Because Kiara is busy packing groceries purchased from the Mall as well as preparing their dinner menu both.


Madam Nani who came to clean the house this morning and wash clothes and ironing also has come home. His job is only to help in the morning until the afternoon. Even if daylight has completed its task, then Nani can go straight home. So Kiara was busy alone arranging the kitchen and cooking.


Aldi went into the kitchen several times by lifting boxes containing kitchen utensils one by one. When carrying the last box, Aldi asked, "Your big suitcase will be placed in front of your room do I enter the room?"


"Go to the room, Al. Thanks to ya." Kiara turned her head for a while towards Aldi with a smile. Aldi as usual just vanished without saying yes or replying to Kiara's thanks.


Aldi walked into Kiara's room with his big suitcase. The room looked as neat as before Kiara occupied it. There was only an extra small suitcase standing in the corner of the room. Now an oversized suitcase stood by his side. Feeling that his affairs had been completed in this room, Aldi chose to return to his room. Continuing her work and busying herself until Kiara calls her for dinner.


The two had dinner in silence as usual. Aldi took his own rice, side dishes, vegetables and some other complementary menus into his plate. There was no sign or command from Aldi for Kiara to serve him a meal. The menu tonight is simple. Only fried chicken krispi previously marinated with seasoning and a little flour, vegetables, and a complement in the form of orek tofu tempe, pickles, sambal and crackers. Because Aldi does not tell about his dislike of any type of food, Kiara considers Aldi can eat any menu that Kiara serves.


Although the two ate in silence, Kiara occasionally watched Aldi while eating. Perhaps there was a happy expression because the cooking was delicious. Or an expression of disgust or dislike. But as far as Kiara was observing, Aldi just put on a flat face with no expression. Kiara herself ate voraciously. Activity since lunch with Aldi felt very much and draining.


After dinner, Aldi opened the door for the guests again. This time Mike came. Kiara who is cleaning the table and washing dishes and used kitchen utensils can see that Mike is the one who came. Kiara recalled that Aldi had told her that Mike would deliver the clothes Aldi had ordered to Kiara.


However, Kiara prefers to continue her work in the kitchen, leaving the two people in the living room alone and sounding joking with a little interspersed with laughter. Kiara did not think Aldi could behave so near Mike, a person who must be close enough to Aldi to make Aldi no longer act cold.


Feeling that Mike was a special guest for her husband, Kiara prepared drinks and snacks from the packaged snacks that had been purchased. Put a snack into a beautiful jar taken from his apartment. Then bring the tray containing drinks and snacks to the living room.


As Kiara approaches, Aldi and Mike are still joking around. But as soon as Kiara arrived in front of the two, Aldi stopped talking to Mike and the smile Kiara wanted to see was no longer on Aldi's face.


"That's a dress for you." Aldi turned his shoulders towards the several paper bags that were on the floor near the entrance. The size of the bag is quite large. It looks like there are about four to five boxes neatly arranged in the bag. The clothes in question must be in every box.


Seeing Kiara only looking at the clothes she was carrying, Mike explained, "I brought about 5 to 10 pieces of items for each type of clothing. There are tops for everyday and for work blouses, subordinates in the form of pants and skirts, dresses for everyday, and official dresses. Whether there are some clothing and outer supporting accessories."


Kiara widened her eyes to see the number of bags with boxes in front of her. Kiara tried to calculate if each item could be discounted and averaged at 1 million for each piece of clothing, how many tens of millions of values of this shirt before her?
