Kunodai My wedding

KP 44 - Time Bomb

“Hayo! You daydream again,” scold Andra.

Sontak Ayline pulled his hand which was still held by Andra.

“Ma-maf, Alin. I didn't mean, hem ...“

Really, Andra had no ill intentions on Ayline. To be honest, when pairing the necklace on Ayline, the man briefly saw if there was a bracelet that was the same design as the necklace of Ayline's choice. At first, Andra had no intention of buying let alone giving Ayline the bracelet. But after he had upset Ayline, he felt he needed something to comfort the woman.

Then his choice fell on that bracelet. Bracelet with the same design as Ayline's choice necklace. Sure enough, the bracelet given by Andra completes Ayline's appearance. According to Andra, the bracelet was very beautiful and fit perfectly on Ayline's wrist.

Or, maybe whatever is worn by her will look beautiful, praise Andra just brave in heart.

“What is this?” ayline asked as she looked at her wrist.

“Bracelet, for you.”

“But I didn't ask for it. I don't want to trouble you.” Ayline feels bad about having to accept Alan's gift, the man she's only met the last two days.

“You didn't ask for it. But, I want to give it to you,” Andra said.

Ayline wanted to remove the bracelet from her wrist, but Andra immediately prevented it. “I have fulfilled your wish. I've taken you away from the seminar.”

“If I don't know what the real reason is, but I'm sure you're avoiding something there. I don't want to know what it is, Alin,” Andra said. His hands were still at home holding both of Ayline's hands.

“But please, accept my gift of this one. I'm sorry if it's just a regular bracelet, it might not be worth it. But I hope, every time you see this bracelet you will always remember this place,” continued Andra.

Andra's hand began to loosen. Slowly he let go. Andra wanted to see Ayline's reaction. Whether the woman still wants to remove the bracelet or not. Ayline who was unmoved, raised a smile on Andra's handsome face.

“Thank you, Alan,” said Ayline.

Still with a fluffy smile, Andra walked first. “Come, continue the road again. Actually, we have not reached where I mean,” Andra said.

Realizing that Andra had started to be far enough away from her, Ayline sped up to follow the man. To catch up and equalize his pace with Andra, Ayline even had to run around a little.

“Why are you running? Be careful, you can fall.”

“Who told you the way is fast!” Ayline finally managed to align their steps.

Both walked down the bridge. The further into the deepest part of mangrove forest attractions. Along the bridge, apparently there are other traders. This time, what Ayline found was a merchant who sold cold drinks and some snacks. There are also a variety of typical Gumi city snacks that they sell there. Ayline was determined to buy some of these snacks for him to take home later as a hand.

They're far enough away to walk. The atmosphere is getting quieter. No more merchants or visitors that Ayline met.

“Where are we actually going?” ask Ayline.

“Sabar, soon we arrive.”

Starting to feel tired of walking, Ayline decided to stay still to save his energy. Until shortly after, Andra's steps stopped when they finally arrived at the place he wanted to go.

The two netra Ayline sparkled to see what was in front of him now. A mini bookstore built on a bridge on this attraction. The first thing Ayline met.

“This is my favorite place,” Andra said. “May you also like,” he continued.

“Ya, of course!” exciting Ayline.

There was pride in Andra's mind, as he managed to make Ayline smile. The two began to pick out the books they wanted to buy. A middle-aged man, the owner of the bookstore was no less happy when the arrival of prospective buyers.

The middle-aged man greeted the two excitedly. After a long time, finally there are more visitors who visit his bookstore.

“Please Non, Mas,” he said welcoming his first customer today.

“What book are you looking for? If you'd like, I can help you guys,” he continued.

“Thank you, Sir. But, we'll take a look first yes, Mr.”

Ayline turned his head, smilingly looking at Andra when he heard the man answer the bookstore owner politely. One plus for the man other than his handsome face.

“Alan, thank you yes. I'm so glad you brought me here,” Ayline said as they were selecting a book.

“Hem, equally. I was also happy that my guess was correct. You really like to read books,” said Andra.

“Take? How can you guess correctly,” praise Ayline.

Andra chuckles. “Alin ... Alin .. have you forgotten where we met first?”

“Sorry, but I saw the book you bought back then,”. “If you are not a person who likes to read, you will not be able to buy a book that thick.”

Apparently Alan's attention too, inner Ayline. Though initially Ayline thought Alan was a fairly indifferent man. Given how that guy messaged her first.

“Oh, so because of that,” murmured Ayline. “And your guess is right, Alan. I really like reading. My favorite place is also the bookstore,” I'm Ayline.

Although he did not admit it, but in his heart Andra felt happy and grateful to have been met with Ayline. Finally he found a woman who has the same hobby as him.

Long enough Ayline and Andra spent time to pick and choose books. Ayline was really helped by Andra's presence. The man gave him many recommendations for books to read.

After finishing buying the book, Ayline and Andra headed to the end of the bridge. There were tables and benches made of wood there. Andra had left Ayline for a while to buy drinks and snacks that would accompany them during reading the book.

The longer, without both of them noticing, the more the atmosphere melted between them. The clumsiness slowly dissipated. Ayline and Andra chatted a lot of things. Not only discussing the contents of the book they read, but some personal things they also talked about.

Except for one thing, regarding the true status of Ayline. The woman was still hiding her status. Whether he should be grateful or not, but just like Kevin, Andra never once asked about his status.

How'this? If I'm honest then I'll miss the opportunity with Alan right now. But if you lie, then just wait for when the time comes until Alan himself will leave. Like Kevin, Inner Ayline.
