Married To Chef Jutek

Flickering Lamp (Pov Jasmine)

💖💖💖

In the dance class George told me that he held a Jaipong dance class for the kids too, because the dance teacher was at work, so I offered to help. I don't need to be paid. For me, interacting with children is a pleasure.

I started teaching after my performance for Mr. Arjuna was over so I could focus. Because the initial intention to join this dance lessons just to present the dance for him. Now that the show is over, I'm afraid to meet him. Mr. Arjuna keeps flirting. He even kissed me that night. I know, I'm just a stupid girl who thinks she really likes me. How could a Mr. Arjuna like a poor girl and a village like me.

Today suddenly Gilsa came to pick up around ten in the morning. Said I was going to press conferences and photoshoots. I was taken to a salon and boutique. After that I just met Mr. Arjuna who was waiting. There Mr. Arjuna's behavior is strange. Of course I don't want to see his face. I still think of what happened last night, when he kissed on purpose. Hugging until I have trouble breathing. Where was the phrase he used to say, being close to me was something to avoid? Because I'm a source of viruses, germs, bacteria and so on.

There Mr. Arjuna still behaves strangely. His gaze was warm, his smile looked sincere and he was not angry. Even I deliberately called him Mister, not Brother as he asked, he was silent, not protesting and angry as usual. Oh, my God, what's the matter, huh?

Is Mr Arjuna trying to play with my feelings? Especially when the shooting took place, somehow every sentence that came out of his mouth made me believe. Whatever he said made me fall asleep.

The promise is, he will meet me with you, even though he does not know when, but I believe him. There was no lie in his eyes. During the press conference, he kept holding this fingers. Sometimes he kisses my back warm. If I usually see falsehood, I don't know why this time I feel this sincere. He was being very gentle, is it possible Mr. Arjuna ....

Isha!

I hit my own head. After helping Ma'am Bunga tidy up the table I went straight upstairs. Ma'am Bunga, that name I pinned for her, after I said I thought of her as my own family in this house. Sometimes I need a friend to talk to, it seems like Mbak Bunga is the right person to be a confiding friend. Now I get to the front door.

'Bismillah, may you not do things like yesterday.'

I opened the door. It was seen that Mr. Arjuna was lying down and leaning on the head of the bed. I went straight to the sofa and lay down, covering the body with a blanket up to the neck. He sat up and walked closer to me.

"Sir, please don't come any closer!" my door.

"Relax, I won't do anything. Just wanted to talk to you."

I sit up, I put the blanket on my body. I'm really afraid he's doing something. Slowly Mr. Arjuna sat beside me.

"I want to apologize ..." I just shut up. "Why recently, I felt something was different with my heart."

What does this Mr Arjuna's words mean, something different from his heart? Whahuh?

"Can we start from the beginning?" ask again.

"I mean, Mister?" I'm a little confused.

"We .. courtship. Ah, I mean, close proximity. Get to know each other."

I looked up straight at his face.

"Dating?" many sanctions.

"I mean friends. Close friends, like best friends."

Honestly, this time I doubt, does he really want to be my best friend?

"Yes, sir," I said just like that and then looked down again.

"Emmm, it's okay if you want to call me Master, if you're not comfortable with Brother's call. I don't want to be your brother anyway. L'm... More interested in being your husband."

"Well?!" My eyes are rounded.

Mr. Arjuna laughed as he shook his head looking at my dumb face. I really feel strange, what plan could Mr Arjuna be this gentle with me? Even though he can not be denied he looks sincere.

"Yes already, sleep ... From tomorrow we move to the apartment, yeah! I want to live with you alone. Get to know each other."

'What is this Master's plan? If he's anything else I am who will help and help?'

I looked into his face. He who was about to move back sat in his place again.

"Don't be afraid, our rooms are separate! Oh one more thing, there's no you and you, from now on we can replace it with you and me." Then Mr. Arjuna stood up and walked back to his bed.

He seemed to understand the doubt in my heart. I just felt relieved to hear that, after lying down and trying to close my eyes, trying to sleep.

"So we work for whom if the same Mrs Madam wants to move residence? Are we coming with you?" asked Mr. Gus in astonishment that morning as we were all sitting at the dining table together.

"While you take care, Dewi and Aunt Dinda used to be here" he said briefly.

Though I was hoping, there was one of the ARTs here that was invited to live with us, I didn't want to just be alone with him in that apartment. Honestly, I'm scared. Aunt Dinda smiled at this news, she even encouraged me to get your heart excited.

The Goddess sat at the end of it. Mbak Bunga looks happy, so does Regi. He congratulated.

"If you look at his aura it seems like Master really likes you, Madam. May you be real husband and wife, yes!" whispered Mr. Gus no less encouraging to me and I just smiled faintly.

All the clothes and other equipment were packed. We're just leaving. Not long after Gilsa came. We left after saying goodbye to everyone.

An hour passed, we got to where we were.

"So this is our new place!" said Mr. Arjuna, while Gilsa and Mr. Regi were busy arranging all the goods.

I slowly walked through the room. The place is quite spacious, all the furniture and walls are painted white, such as sofas, kitchen furniture, rooms and bathrooms, all white. So it looks so clean.

"Dark, here!" Master called. I'm approaching towards him. He opens the door. "This is your room." I'm just smiling.

"Thank you, sir."

"You like it, with the color?" I'm nodding.

A pink room with a white bed. There are two nightstands on the left and right side. A pretty big TV. Mini sofa and balcony overlooking the street.

"Thank you, sir," I said as I sat at the end of the bed, observing all the rooms. While he was still standing at the door.

"Yes, you can rest first. You must be tired after an hour's drive." Mr. Arjuna passed, before he closed the door.

'Why that guy? So strange.'

"What do you want to eat, jasmine?" tanyakanya.

"Anything, sir," I said.

"Emm, you wait here, yeah. Don't go anywhere." I nodded, then the man walked away.

Around me there were colorful lights wrapped around the trees, it was beautiful and I loved it. I slowly stood up from the garden chair and approached the trees. I stared at the flashing lights. There is red, there is yellow and there is blue. I touched those little lights. I smiled, I used to really like the lights twinkling like this. Every time you watch the night market, the first thing I see is the light.

I accidentally bumped into someone for being too engrossed in paying attention to these lights.

Bruk!

"Owh." He nodded, even the phone in his hand fell.

"Ma, Sorry, Mas!" I said while bending over to get his phone. However, he also lowered his head until we hit each other.

"Ouch!" I stroked my head while grimacing.

"Sorry, Ma'am!" He clenched both hands.

"Ehh, yes."

This time I let him take his own phone. The man smiled, put the phone in his pocket and reached out.

"Sorry, again. Introduce me, Rega Affandi."

I was silent, clenched my two hands in front of my chest and lowered my head.

"I, Jasmine. Sorry, I've been waiting for someone" I said then passed.

Arriving at the place where Mr. Arjuna looked restless. It was like looking for something. I approached him and he looked relieved.

"What's up, Mister?" ask me to share my views.

Both of his hands were ruffled around his waist, that face looked annoyed.

"Where have you been?" the tanyanya is a little fierce.

"I am, I am from .... "

"Do you know how worried I am about looking for you? You know?" He took a step forward. Now I look up to see his face.

'I just left for a minute why is he this angry?'

"Say directly, don't get into it."

My body is sloping backwards. Because he looks so furious.

"Is this what you call a friend? Getting angry?" many remind.

Slowly his eyes that were originally bulging like he wanted to swallow me alive seemed to loosen up. He threw his body in the garden chair.

"Yes, sorry. Here I bring you some young coconut ice."

I sat by his side. He gave the young coconut that had been hollowed in the middle to me. Then sipped his own ice. I put my coconut beside my body.

"Where are you from?" tanyakanya. Now the voice softened, no longer heard his anger.

"I'm from there, looking at the twinkling lights that circle in the trees."

"Lamp?"

"Yes, I love seeing all those lights, sir. There's a calm and joy in itself seeing it."

"Which one?" He seemed to be spreading his eyes all over the place. Then stunned after seeing a tree lined up neatly on the side of the road. "That one?" Mr. Arjuna pointed.

"Yes." Yeah." As soon as my mouth was tightly clenched his hand immediately pulled me towards that place. "Sir, where are we going?"

"Yes go there!"

"Make what?"

"Let you be happy." I'm speechless.

Up there the man asked me to stand by his tree.

"Sir, why am I standing here?" I shouted because Mr. Arjuna slowly moved away, then he picked up the device and pointed it at me.

"I want to capture your joy."

'Will he photograph me?'

"Did you say something?" his yell. "Let's smile!" I just shut up. "Hey! Raise your hands like this!" his orders, asking me to raise my hand to form the letter V with a finger.

I think I raised my hand. Not satisfied he was screaming again. "Smile!!"

Like a fool I smile, showing my teeth. And....

Chequek!

He laughed.
