Love Story of Alex And Desi

Trying to Be Good

"Is this one of your three requests?" asked Desi who was sitting next to the steering chair.

"What?" alex is confused.

"Introduced and picked me up for work. Is this one of your requests?" Ask Desi again.

Alex smiled in anguish. "No. This is one of my duties" replied Alex, who was still watching the streets of the capital.

"What duty?" Ask Desi again. He was surprised by the statement Alex gave.

"Task as a good husband" Alex replied again, posting a smile.

Desi breathes heavily. He rested his head on the car seat pad. "When are you going to write down your three requests in our agreement?" Desi asked who was already impatient about Alex's three requests. Because if he has fulfilled Alex's request then he can breathe a sigh of relief. He will no longer think about the strange request Alex gave him.

"I'm still thinking about it. You don't have to rush anything" Alex said, interspersed with laughter.

Desi could only sigh in resignation as she was laughed at by Alex.

By evening, dinner time had arrived. Alex and Desi came down the stairs. They put hands on each other. Hope that the acting they create can be seen by the Alex family as a happy couple.

Desi looked at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were already sitting at the dinner table. If he cooked his own breakfast this morning to avoid Alex, but not tonight. He was too tired of his own thoughts as Alex would drive and pick him up every day during his work.

Alex pulls the chair so Desi can sit there. After that he also sat next to Desi in the main seat.

As usual a middle-aged female house assistant chief was preparing anything that was lacking at the dining table. After making sure everything is complete. The housekeeper, Bu Dina, is now standing behind Alex's chair.

Marisa, who is sitting on Alex's right side, is now getting food for her son and then she gets food on her daughter-in-law's plate.

"Don't..." Alex said to prevent his mother's hand that had taken the side dish in the form of fish on a Desi plate.

"Why?" Marisa asked in surprise. His hand was still hanging in the air as Alex prevented it. But it was not only Marisa who was astonished. Everyone at the dinner table, including Sandra and Alex's housemaids, was also astonished at Alex's attitude that prevented her mother.

"Vegetarian village. He didn't eat any fish or animals" Alex explained, releasing his mother's hand.

"Oh... So you're a vegetarian?" Marisa asked, whose eyes were now on her daughter-in-law.

"Yes Ma..." Answer Desi slowly.

"Mom Dina from tomorrow look for a vegetarian meal for Desi," Marisa orders the butler at her house.

"Good mistress..." Said Bu Dina while bowing her body.

"It turns out the taste of brother-in-law and brother Alex is much different, huh?" Sandra said, speaking about food.

"You mean?" Desi asked who did not understand Sandra's words.

"really?" Ask Desi wonder. His eyes were on Alex. But the man he now looks at does not even give any response.

"Sister-in-law doesn't know?" Ask Sandra who is fishing to know what Desi likes and dislikes by Alex. But Desi just kept quiet did not answer the question from Sandra. "I was wondering, what exactly does brother-in-law know about Alex's brother? Alex's favorite food problem brother-in-law did not know. Especially..."

"Enough!" Alex cuts off Sandra's words. The one word that came out of his mouth managed to make everyone shut up for a moment. He did not want Sandra later to add to the conversation that the ends would corner Desi. He knew very well that Sandra did not like Desi very much. He also knows very well how Sandra will try to get rid of Desi in various ways. "It's dinner time. No one talks anymore" Alex said, leaving everyone speechless. And in the end dinner this time around with the residence. There was not the slightest sound from the mouth of Alex's family, especially Sandra when Alex had issued his advice.

Finished dinner Alex asks Desi to go into the room. Because he still has work to do. But Alex has asked Desi if Desi needs something then Desi can meet Alex at his workplace on the first floor.

Alex immediately entered his study when he could not speak to Desi for long. Desi obeys only what Alex says. He walked up the stairs to his room. Just now he was holding the doorknob of his room but Sandra's clap on his shoulder managed to shock him. "What's wrong?" Desi asked who had turned towards Sandra.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry about that time at the dinner table. I really don't know that..."

"That's it..." Desi said while holding his sister-in-law's shoulder. He had no intention of making a storm with Sandra. It was enough he saw with his own eyes how resolute Alex was in silencing his own sister's mouth when Sandra tried to corner him. He will hold back any hatred Sandra has for him. He only had to be patient for a year. She also rarely met Sandra at home. Like this morning, Desi had not seen Sandra at home at breakfast. Her in-laws said Sandra went to college early in the morning because she had something to do.

"Thank you brother-in-law" Sandra said as she held Desi's hand on her shoulder. "Sister-in-law, would you like to take a walk to the back garden? We can get to know each other. Besides Alex's sister also seems to be busy," Sandra asked.

"Ehm I..."

"Here come. We're still home, right? We're not going anywhere..." Sandra said again as she pulled Desi's hand to follow her steps.

Once in the back garden, the two sat on a swing that could fit two people.

"So vegetarian sister-in-law?"

"Hum..." Desi replied while nodding her head. "I was allergic to all kinds of fish and animals. And from that moment Mami always prepared me vegetables. My friends told me I was a vegetarian. Actually it is much different from vegetarians and food allergies," said Desi with a smile.

"Oh... So that's how it looks?"

"Yes, so you never touch anything that smells of fish, poultry, or animals. Brother is afraid."

Sister-in-law's allergic?

Whoa... Isn't this really exciting news?

Now I know the weakness of my sister-in-law.

Am I not very smart? I can take advantage of my good nature to kick my sister-in-law out of this house.

Sandra's mind with a wry smile. His good attitude is only because he wants to know what is not liked by Desi.
