Desi rests her head on the car seat pad. Look out the car window. Look at the trees on the side of the road. Watch the leaves that fly following the wind. Dense traffic during lunch hours like this is always crowded vehicles.
After the completion of the process of measuring the wedding dress in Alika's boutique is now being delivered by Alex. Alex who was focused on driving is now paying attention to Desi who was also silent a thousand languages. After Desi got in Alex's car, not a word came out of Desi's mouth.
"What's wrong? Why are you quiet?" Ask Alex who is already agitated if he sees Desi does not make a sound. For three days he knew Desi but he had never seen Desi like this. The Desi he knew was a woman he thought spoke a lot.
"I'm not pa-pa" Desi replied briefly. He was still looking out the window. For a moment he breathed softly.
"You why?" It had begun to look worried when he saw Desi who seemed to have no taste to answer his question. "Are you sick?" Ask again. Spontaneously his left hand held Desi's forehead and his right hand was still driving.
Desi was shocked when Alex's hand touched her forehead. "I'm fine" he replied, removing Alex's hand from his forehead. "Why are you so worried?" He looked at Alex now. "We don't even have any relationship" he added, folding his hands in front of his chest.
Alex stopped his car immediately when he heard the narration from Desi. And without Alex realizing he was very angry when Desi said that they had no relationship at all.
"Why stop? C'mon quickly. The office break is running out" Desi said as she looked at her watch. "Later, Mr. Farel will be very angry with me" he continued. His words were not answered by Alex. Then he looked towards Alex who was still not running his car. Why her?Why also his face...? Said Desi who hung her own sentence in her heart when she saw something strange with the man next to her.
"What do you mean we have no relationship?" Alex asked who was currently looking towards Desi with a furious face.
"Hum...?" Desi doesn't understand what Alex is asking. He and Alex have no special relationship. He only considers Alex as his husband after tomorrow.
Alex looks angrier when Desi just responds to his question with the word hem. But for a moment he exhaled slowly as he again realized that he did not have a special relationship with Desi. He and Desi are only bound by a theatrical marriage that leaves only tomorrow.
"What's wrong?" Ask Desi curiously. "Is something wrong?" Ask again who didn't get a response from Alex.
"Nothing" Alex replied. For a moment he was silent. Somehow he felt pain in his heart when Desi did not consider it at all. "Aren't you having lunch yet?" Ask Alex who's back in the car. "We'd better have lunch first, because I'm hungry now."
"What?" Desi was surprised by Alex's words. He wants to go back to the office. Not even going to lunch. "I want you to take me to the office. The lunch hour is running out" said Desi, who looked back at her watch. "Later Mr. Farel..."
"Farel will not be angry" replied Alex who cut off Desi's words. "I've asked her for permission that you'll be on leave until our wedding is over" Alex said, returning to driving.
"But..."
"There's no buts! Aren't you having lunch?" Alex asked who was answered the residence by Desi. He didn't hear any answer from Desi's mouth. So the sign is definitely Desi will want to take lunch together. "What do you want to eat? A seafood?" Ask.
"All right..." Alex said, nodding his head. "So where are we going to lunch? You must know where the restaurant that provides special food for you, right?"
"Hum..." Desi answered that developed her smile as she was going to the restaurant location where only providing special food for vegetarians.

Twenty minutes later both of them were sitting at the same table in a fancy restaurant in the Pluit Bakery Building area of Pluit Kencana Raya street number 106-110. This restaurant called Dharma Kitchen does provide special food for vegetarians. No food is made from meat or other poultry. This is one of Desi's favorite restaurants.
Moments later came a waiter who brought orders for Alex and Desi. If Desi is very tasteful with all the food in front of her. The other is with Alex. He really likes seafood. If for vegetables, actually he is not so tasteful. But somehow he was so enthusiastic when Desi started eating it greedily.
For a moment he felt an urge to eat it as well. But when he took the food with his spoon somehow a mouthful was hanging in front of his mouth. Between eating and not. Alex again tried to see the way Desi who ate his food but again he could only gulp rough saliva.
"Why?" Desi asked which made Alex a little surprised. "Didn't you like the food?" Ask again.
"No..." Alex answered, shaking his head quickly. "I like... I love all the food" he replied. And without thinking long Alex immediately put the food that had been hanging in front of his mouth. He chewed slowly the food that was already in his mouth. Slowly but surely. "Nake too..." Alex muttered slowly. Then she returned to feed her food a second time. He smiled as he looked again at the way Desi ate so voraciously.
This way I know what you like and what you don't like.
Alex said in his heart. His lips did not stop smiling as he still watched Desi. The smile on his lips faded when he realized what he had just thought.
What the hell am I doing?
Why would I care about him?
Alex's mind is back to cursing itself.
He's correct. I have nothing to do with him. The wedding I did the day after was just a theatrical wedding. There's nothing special. But why...?
Alex thought clearly again. But sometimes he also felt very worried about Desi if Desi did not behave as usual. Just like before in the car, Desi who suddenly kept silent for no reason made Alex infested with a huge worry.
