Love In Venice's

Episode 10 of Venice (2)

Venice or Venice is a city built on water whose land is separated by canals. As far as the eye can see, the old building with boat-boats milling as the main means of transportation.

The city is famous as a canal city with gondola transportation, and also got the nickname Romantic City, because not a few couples who do honeymoon here.

Ray's first destination was to take Syaha to Piazza San Marco. This place is a square with a tower as high as 100 meters as a marker, from the top of the tower we can see the city of Venice. The uniqueness of Piazza is its location is not much different from the high sea water, so that when the tide, this square will be submerged or flooded from Adriatic sea water entering through the Grand Canal.

Syaha swept his gaze around Piazza. Time and time again he was amazed. The tower in front of him was currently extremely tall. In front of it there is a large field commonly called the square by local residents. Pigeons flock to visitors to Piazza.

"It's so beautiful.." Celoteh Syaha's.

"Want to feed the ga birds?" Take Ray.

"You want to.." Syaha's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

Feeding birds is something not to be missed when visiting Piazza. Trivia like this is fun.

Shaha ran after the pigeons while Ray fed the birds. Shaha's cheerful laughter filled Piazza square this afternoon. It's been a long time since I've laughed like that. He always hid his emotions because of the circumstances of his life. Since childhood Syaha was required to live a concerned life in an orphanage, all his joy vanished along with the rigors of the childhood he went through.

"Mas Ray, thank you for taking a walk today.." Said Syaha with a loud voice as a result of running around chasing birds.

"Would you go somewhere else?" Ask Ray. Ray plans to take Syaha around Venice all day.

"You want to go.." Answer Syaha like a child who sees candy or ice cream.

Ray's heart rippled again when he saw the smile and happy eyes of Syaha. Really interesting girl. Ray did not expect if the small things he thought to be pleasant in the shady eyes of Syaha.

Next up is Rialto Market. Ray takes Syaha to the traditional Venice market. Rialto Market is on the edge of the canal. This local market sells fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and flowers.

"Hungry ga?" Ask Ray slowly.

Syaha nodded.

"Follow me.." Ray pulled out Syaha's hand then led him into the middle of the market.

They both reached the end of the market. There is a small cafe that is very crowded. The queue snaked outwards.

"A lot of it.." Celtuk Syaha.

"This is my favorite place to eat in Rialto. Especially now for the weekend. The tourists will definitely pay attention to this place.. You are already hungry?" Obviously Ray.

"No, I'm still strong enough to hold it.."

"All right. I'll take the queue first.."

Right one hour Ray and Syaha got a seat. The design of a typical Venetian-style cafe is very spoil the eyes of visitors. The cafe only has 10 tables with not too many waiters. They have a strategic place. The end place is close to the window so that you can see the view of the Rialto Bridge directly. It's very romantic.

"What message do you want?" Ray asked the daydream of Syaha.

"I'm coming with Ray.."

"whatever?"

"Anything.."

Ray waved his hand at the cafe waiter. After ordering some Ray dishes permission to go out for a while. Syaha did not ask Ray where the man was going. But a few minutes before their meal came, Ray was back. Syaha was wide-eyed when she saw Ray enter the cafe with a bunch of red roses.

"For you.." Ray gave Syaha a bunch of roses.

"For Me Mas?" Syaha said nervously. Not a dream, right?

"Yes to you.." Ray smiled knot.

"Thank you, it's beautiful.." Syaha. Syaha's tears almost fell. Syaha had no idea what Ray meant by giving her a rose. One thing he knew, Ray was a romantic.

Their orders came. Ray orders Risotto and Tiramisu as desserts. Ray accidentally did not order wine although Venice is also one of the favorite places to drink wine, Ray prefers to order orange juice as a companion drink.

Syaha ate with the greedy risotto ordered by Ray. Syaha is basically a person who is not picky food. Living in an orphanage taught her to live a simple life. Rice-based risotto then combined with mushrooms, asparagus, and beans is very tasty. Although made from rice risotto in Venice it is served almost like a soup.

"Nake?" Ray opened his voice in the middle of his meal.

"His favorite foods are Risotto and Baccala Mantecata. But since for lunch we certainly have to eat rice, that's why I chose this.." Obviously Ray pointed at his risotto plate.

The Baccala Mantecata is also a typical Venetian food. The dish is made from soft, dried codfish with a spice of olive oil, garlic, parsley and cream that feels soft in the mouth. Baccala is usually used as an appetizer. That's why Ray chose risotto.

"Oh..." Syaha solemnly listened to Ray's explanation. It was amazing Ray's knowledge of Venice. Syaha was amazed by him.

"The rhythm is good too.."

"Yes, it's delicious.." Syaha cuts the tiramisu with a small spoon then tries it. "Great boy I like it.." Further.

"Seat your food.Then we enjoy the afternoon at the Rialto Bridge.." Ray.

Syaha nodded again.

There was sadness in his heart. Time goes by so fast. This day was a very precious time for Syaha. Both with Ray spent his time off he never imagined. Although it was just a normal walk, Syaha was very happy. After this Syaha will still like Ray even though it does not need to be said. Being close to that man was enough for him.

The Rialto Bridge in the afternoon is crowded with many visitors. They do not want to miss watching the sun sink from this historic bridge.

Inner Syaha did not want this intimacy to pass quickly but again he was pulled by reality.

"Thank you for the walk today.. Mas Ray to buyin lunch for Syaha everything.." Syaha said after getting off Ray's car.

"Yes equally.How many times have I heard you thank Ais. I am also happy to be able to walk with you.." Answer Ray gently.

"This is the experience of a lifetime Syaha Mas. I am truly grateful. After this Syaha won't have time to travel around Venice anymore.."

"Why?"

"Syaha do not know anything about Venice Mas. here Syaha is only a scholarship student.where have money Syaha Mas.." Shaha was embarrassed. Speech is right. For everyday life, let alone having to go for a walk, Syaha is too poor to do so.

"Do you want to go out together again?" Take Ray spontaneously.

"Huh? Don't Mas. I don't want to take care of Mas Ray. I'm not going to be as good as Mas Ray.." Reject Syaha. In my heart, Syaha was screaming.

"Do you need a reason to go on the same ice road again?"

"Huh? You mean Mas Ray?" Syaha did not understand Ray's intentions.

"I mean.. do we have to have a reason or something that let you be nice and want to go with Mas Ray again?"

Syaha nodded quickly. That's not what it means. Really Syaha did not want to interfere with Ray's life by taking him around Venice again. Syaha knows himself.

"It's not like that.. Syaha just doesn't want to disturb Mas Ray's busyness.."

"If so we go out. That way we have a reason for a way out. Call it a date if the language of people dating.and because you are my girlfriend you so do not interfere with my time. As a girlfriend you deserve my time..how?" Those words just came out of Ray's mouth. Even Ray was surprised he could honestly express his heart without considering it first.

"Huh?" Syaha was so stunned that he was unable to speak.

A boyfriend? The word courtship just came out of Ray's mouth. How surprised Syaha to hear the call of courtship from Ray who is spontaneous. Shaha is not a dream, right?

"Mas Ray don't joke.." Shaha had to laugh to get rid of his surprise. But his laughter sounded bitter.

"Am I wrong Ais? I'm not kidding at all. I'm always serious about what I say.." Ray's face. It was the first time Ray had not been trusted by someone. Usually whatever he says will be entrusted by the people closest to him.

Syaha quiet. He was aware of Ray's serious face. Syaha himself was struggling with his thoughts. Believe it or not in the current situation.

"Sorry Mas.. Syaha don't have that.." Timpal Syaha with a low tone of voice. His face bowed because he could not see Ray's eyes.

"Would you be Mas Ray's girlfriend?" Ray approached Syaha then pulled Syaha's face to look at him. Ray wanted Syaha to see the seriousness of the look in his eyes.

Without a second thought Syaha nodded in acceptance of Ray's invitation.

"What dream did I have last night. Suddenly become Mas Ray's girlfriend? Yess!!!! You're lucky Sya!!!!" Inner Syaha shouted out loudly.

Seriate..
