Marriage of 365 Days
First View
Sena stepped following her best friend who was in front of her. They walked from the parking lot to Cafe Butter. Their steps are further accelerated as the drizzle starts to wet their skin. Denise covered her head from the raindrops with her flap bag, while Sena covered her nose and mouth with her scarf.
'It's 'It's cold today' Sena thought. If not for having to keep his promise to Denise, maybe now he is relaxing on his soft and warm mattress rather than having to rain on a cold night like this. Sena must accompany Denise to dinner with her childhood friend at one of the city's famous cafes. 'Tonight I'm going to order my favorite meal, after noon my brain was drained working on calculus at school' he thought.
They arrived at the door of the cafe, a moment later a waiter opened the door and gave them a warm welcome. " Good night Miss, how can I help you?" the waiter said, "we've booked a place, a reservation in Ben's name" Denise said. "Well, table 24 on the 2nd floor, let's follow me" the waiter said.
Denise glanced at Sena who was beside her. His gaze headed towards Sena's short knitted clothes. "Your clothes are wet Sena, are you carrying a change of clothes?" ask Denise.
"It's okay Denise, it will also dry right, I did not bring a change of clothes and did not expect it to rain like this hehe" said Sena with a smile.
"Alright, but you will be cold because your clothes are wet, instead I will treat you, order as you please Sen" Denise replied.
"of course! I will order a lot of food until full" said Sena again.
"I know, you can't eat much, your portions are few and your stomach is small, hihihi" Denise said. They walked up the stairs and saw a man with 2 male friends waving his hands towards Denise. "ah, that's him, Ben!" Denise pointed her index finger at her friend's desk while returning a wave of her hand, and walked up to them.
A big smile is seen on Denise's face, she is so happy to meet her handsome childhood friend, and Denise really looks unable to cover up her love for Ben. He approaches his childhood best friend and hugs Ben tightly. Denise awakens to introduce Sena to Ben and his friends.
"Hi, Ben! this is my best friend Sena, and Sena is my childhood friend, Benedict!" denise. Sena introduced herself and gave a warm greeting.
"Oh, Hi Sena, nice to meet you! Denise, Sena, meet my friends Albert and Victor. They were my friends at school" Ben said.
"Axenas". Sena introduces herself to Ben's 2 friends. As Sena and Victor's hands touched, Sena's heart beat violently. 'What the hell is going on? Why is my heart beating so fast? Is it because of her sweet and warm smile, Sena thought.
"Victor's". A large and warm hand touched the tiny hand of Sena, beautiful and sharp eyes, neat teeth, a wide and sweet smile, a jawline that showed his charm, and handsome.
Victor's eyes did not stop staring at Sena and his warm smile made Sena wither and misbehave. Victor smiled looking at the slightly nervous Sena with his reddened face. 'His hand was smooth and soft, and he blushed in embarrassment' Victor thought.
He saw Sena occasionally fix his hair behind his ears and distract him, he did not dare to look into Victor's eyes.
While Sena's heart was still pounding, 'I was never this nervous and misbehaving, was it because this handsome man was in front of me? please, don't look at me like that, her gaze makes me salting' she said in Sena's heart while turning her attention towards Denise. He was embarrassed to return Victor's eyes.
Chat after chat they go through, jokes and laughter make them more familiar. This is where Sena and Victor's relationship begins. When engrossed in listening to Denise and Ben tell a story, Sena who was chewing her favorite strawberry cake, suddenly fell silent. He was surprised to see Victor watching him eat earlier, looking at him and smiling.
"Why? W-Is something wrong? Why look at me like that?" ask Sena to Victor. Victor put his hand close to Sena's cheek. He rubbed the cream that was beside Sena's lips with his finger.
"Sorry yes, there is cream on your lips." said Victor while swallowing the cream he took from Sena's lips. "hmm.sugary" said Victor again with a smile. Sena who was surprised and flabbergasted to see Victor's treatment, blinked her eyes as if she did not believe what she saw just now. "thank you for cleaning the cream that sticks to my face vict, I said, but the cream does not need to be swallowed, either.." Sena snorted in shame and misbehavior.
Victor approached Sena and whispered something into Sena's ear."Want to know the reason? because it tastes sweet, as sweet as you" said Victor teasing the girl in front of him, smiling and winking his eyes.
Hearing her whisper, Sena's face flushed red and blushed. 'can she tease me?! help out! salting becomes more' . Sena's heart was struggling.
Denise who saw the behavior of 2 friends immediately rebuked them. "hey! what are you whispering like that? you're suspicious!" denise said, squinting her eyes.

Denise and Sena walk into the car, after they say goodbye to 3 male friends at the cafe because the time has shown at 10 pm and the time to go home. They do not realize the time, because they enjoy being together. Starting from the chat topics old to the latest, sports, music, fashion and their respective activities.
Sena's body also felt warmer because Victor lent her his winter coat. Sena recalled when she shivered in the cold because her clothes were wet from the rain before heading to the cafe. Sena smiled remembering her friendship with Victor. They share mobile phone numbers. Victor promised to call Sena. In her little heart, there was something that made Sena interested in Victor, but she did not know what made her curious about the man. 'Is this what first sight love means? like there's a turmoil in the chest.the blissful turmoil' he thought.
"Hey! A cent! So you keep smiling, looks like someone else is happy?" denise asked the downcast Sena and tried to cover her smile behind her lips. "Come" Sena replied.
"It looks like you and Victor are a great fit, I think he's a good guy, you like Victor?" denise said, pointing her index finger at her best friend's nose.
Sena shrugged her shoulders in ignorance, even though she also knew her cheeks were blushing and blushing. He was reluctant to answer his friend's question. "don't deny it, I know your type victor hahaha you can't keep it a secret Sena, your cheeks are red when I say his name" Denise said.
Denise's car drove out of the cafe parking lot and into Sena's house. 'I really enjoyed the first meeting today with her, yes the guy who made my heart flutter, and misbehavior' sena's mind floated with the speck of rain that drenched the earth that night.
