Love In Silence

Bareng road

After Axel finished the meeting, he went to a restaurant not far from his office. Because it's lunch time. But when he arrived at the restaurant he saw Alesha who was sitting back and eating alone.

He approached her, "Alesha," said Axel, who made the woman look at him.

"Mas Axel, what's up here?" alesha was surprised

"I want lunch .Who are you here with?" ask Axel.

"Sama Aby's. But Aby has business, so she goes home first" Alesha replied.

"Oh. Can I sit here?" ask Axel.

"By, please," Alesha replied smilingly. Axel sat in the chair in front of him. Axel also ordered his favorite drinks and food.

While waiting for his order to come, Axel also invited Alesha to chat.

"Why are you done with this?" ask Axel.

"I think I'm going to the bookstore, I'm going to buy a novel" Alesha replied.

"Do you like novels?" ask Axel.

"Yes, I love Islamic novels. If I don't have a temper and I'm saturated, I often spend my time reading novels" Alesha replied smilingly.

"Can I buy you a novel?" ask Axel.

"If Mas Axel is not busy, Mas Axel can nemenin me," replied Alesha kindly. That way he can have a chatter friend and not go to the bookstore alone.

"I'm not busy" Axel replied.

When they were chatting again, the waiter came with food and drinks that were ordered by Axel.

"I ate, I was full. The plates and glasses are still here. Just eat, I'll stay until I finish eating,"

"Yes, I ate first,"

After that, Axel ate very well. Never before had he eaten this wisdom. Though the food he ordered was food that even almost every day he ate. But now he feels something is different, maybe because he ate while accompanied by Alesha.

After eating, Axel paid for all his food including what Alesha and her future father-in-law said had gone home first because of business.

After paying the meal money, Axel and Alesha immediately went to Axel's office first because there was business that he had to finish. When they finished, they went to the bookstore by car. Axel rode alone while Alesha sat in the front seat beside Axel.

Axel somehow felt groggy and misbehaved as well as Alesha. He chose silence and looked out the window while Axel, he occasionally stole a glance towards Alesha.

Axel saw Alesha was so beautiful with a black dress and a very long black hijab. Alesha looks very beautiful even more beautiful than Afifah.

"Al?" call Axel.

"Yes mas?" alesha answered while looking at Axel.

"I'm happy to be able to walk together with you like this," Axel said.

"really? Have you forgotten the woman you love?" ask Alesha

"Yes I learned to forget about it and learn to love you. Because at this moment you are my wife-to-be. So only you deserve to be in my heart, not another woman" Axel replied.

"I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully later we can build a family that is sadinah mawadah and warahmah without a third party among us,"

"Hopefully" Axel smiled.

I don't think they got in front of the bookstore. Axel immediately parked his car and they both got out of the car and walked to the bookstore.
