Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 100: Dance

I'm poignant.

But never mind, Bram always gave me something. What's wrong this time I grant her request. For a while I dismissed all those questions, because I was sure Bram would explain them one day.

Slowly I picked up and I kissed Bram's fingers. Welcomed with Bram who kissed my forehead.

"Thank you dear," said Bram in a soft voice in my ear.

I was so embarrassed. If only it had really happened as a husband and wife, it would have been happy for me to be whole.

"Zanu, it's time for dinner. Come with me," Bram.

I nodded and followed Bram towards somewhere. Bram's employees opened a large door made of wood.

********

Sreet..!!

It looks like a beautiful garden, decorated with lights and flowers. This time the flowers are no longer red but pink. In the middle of the park there is a round table and two chairs. There are also candles and vases on the table.

Oh, my God, what dream did I have last night. This is so cool!!

When out to the park, there were already several Bram employees dressed in uniform lined up neatly.

"Good night Boss and Non Zanu" they said in unison.

"Good night everyone, too" I replied with a smile.

Already seen near the table are Chef Brasnu and Mr. Tio. Bram and I walk side by side to the middle of the park.

"Good night, please sit down Boss and Non Zanu," said Mr. Tio as he shifted the chair. The chef helped.

"Good night too Mr. Tio and Chef, thank you" I replied.

Bram and I sat facing each other. Mr. Tio, Chef and the employees left us both. Maybe they'll bring food here.

"Sister, that's beautiful! Since when did you prepare all this?" ask me enthusiastically while looking around.

"Since we've been here. Are you happy Zanu? There will be a surprise after we finish dinner,"

"Thank you, it feels like this new time in my life to get such a cool surprise. Thank you, brother,"

Bram smile.

The sound of music began to play, romance music from Kenny G.

"Zanu, do you want to dance with me?" ask Bram.

"Well! A dance? I can't Brother. Embarrassed by employees" I replied.

"I taught her the moves. You will follow my movements only. As long as you're around me, don't think about anyone else" Bram said, standing up to ask me to dance.

I hesitated for a moment. I was also confused where to start. Finally with some consideration, I received a helping hand from Bram.

Suddenly Bram pulled me in his arms and grabbed me by my waist.

"Sister, you can't take it slow! Shocked to know!" manyun said.

"Already! Don't talk, now put your hands on my shoulders and look me in the eye" Bram ordered.

Somehow, I just followed Bram's orders. I feel like I'm hypnotized. Slowly Bram moved his right and left legs. I followed Bram's footwork and finally we both got our moves together to follow the music.

"You can dance. As a beginner you have graduated. Now try to close your eyes and observe the rhythm of the music, then you open your eyes slowly and look at me" Bram ordered again.

I followed Bram's orders. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the music. I don't know why I feel calm, shahdu, beautiful and happy.

I imagined this moment so close to Bram's body, smelling a typical Bram fragrance and feeling Bram's touch while hugging me.

I opened my eyes slowly and looked at Bram who happened to be looking at me.

Zaappp...!

It was like there was a powerful magnet, as if it was pulling my feelings to stay here, in this heart.

"I love you,"

My lips trembled saying the sentence and without me realizing it was as bold as it directly revealed it in front of Bram. Which is only ten cent away from my face.

I'm downcast embarrassed.

Bram stopped his movements, as if he was shocked by my words. Bram lifted my chin and smiled.

"What did you say Zanu? Try saying it again, I want to hear it," Bram asked as if he could not believe what I said.

Bram shut up and kept looking at me.

"Thank you Zanu. That's what I've been wanting to hear all along, as long as I know you,"

Bram stroked my cheek and kissed my forehead. Layan Bram let go of his embrace and looked at my bead even closer.

"Zanu, there's a big problem I have to face. I'll finish it. Hopefully you can accept my decision" said Bram slowly.

"Trust me, I will always love you. And it will stay that way. I'm sorry if my actions are wrong. I hope you can forgive me,"

Bram looked at me pushyly, as if something was suppressing Bram's desire to be with me. My guess all along turned out to be true.

Would I lose Bram? I just started this story.

I could only remain silent and bowed to avoid the sorrow that was implied by Bram's eyes.

"Zanu, I'll explain after I graduate. Now let's enjoy tonight" said Bram.

I can only nod.

Sreeett..!

The sound of the door opening someone, it was Mr. Tio. Followed by four employees from behind while carrying a gold-colored covered tray. It was followed by Chef Brasnu.

Mr. Tio instructed the employees to arrange and put the food on the table. Light a candle and pour a drink into the glass.

Bram and I pulled up a chair and sat down. Actually our story was not finished, but maybe we should postpone it first.

"Boss, according to Non Zanu's order, Chef has made a special menu that is beff steak. There are drinks, pudding and fruits. Enjoy the Boss, Non Zanu," said Mr. Tio.

"May like and fit on the tongue of the Boss and Non Zanu. Please taste it," said Chef Brasnu.

"Okay, thank you Chef and Mr. Tio. When it comes to taste, I don't doubt Chef's work. Because it fits on my tongue, hopefully it matches Zanuku too," Bram smiled as he glanced at me.

"Okay boss, Non, we'll both excuse us first" said Mr. Tio.

Bram and I nodded. Mr. Tio and Chef went through the big wooden door. Four employees from behind. Now it's just me and Bram back.

"Dear, we start eating" Bram asked.

I agreed and immediately held the fork with a knife to cut the steak.

Hhm.. It's delicious this steak. I want to go, but I'm ashamed of Bram.

"How's Zanu, delicious isn't it?" ask Bram while chewing.

"Such a son, tender. And the roof went all the way inside. It's Chef Brasnu's good man, "my praise.

"Chef Brasnu my home subscription, if there is a guest or client welcome event, I call him. And if I miss something to eat, I'll just call Chef" Bram explained.

"Enak is right, just call directly to eat. Everything is available" I said.

"Actually I want Chef Brasnu to work here, as my permanent Chef. But he doesn't want to be tied up in any way, anyway,"

I watched Bram while drinking.

"I just want to taste your cooking Zanu. That's also if you can cook, he.he.he..,"

"Well, there it is. I can't cook, if it's just a whiskey fry,"

"One day, I'm sure I can taste your Zanu cuisine firsthand" Bram said.

Huh! Did I not hear wrong? Bram's statement just confused me.

"I mean Brother?" my many.

"Well, don't know. I'm sure, whether it happens or not in the future, that's what I don't know,"

Gluey! Bram himself doesn't know, let alone me.

"It has. Spend the meal first, then surprise for you can fail,"

"OK,"

Bram and I continued the half-living food. There are still pudding and fruits to eat.

Bram joked and ruffled my front hair. Bram looks so happy with me tonight.
