Lyra who woke up when the sun was up, immediately sat down while still yawning by rubbing her eyes.
After his eyes had completely opened, he saw the antique clock that had existed since his father was alive and stood firmly by the fireplace.
Turns out it's been showing at seven over thirty minutes. Lothawat! lyra in the heart. He's bad at waking up. If this is the case, you will not have time to make breakfast and then go to the market.
But if not hunted to the traditional market, they again have to eat with makeshift materials considering the location near the villa is still a minimarket that sells food that is quite complete.
That is why, Lyra prefers shopping in traditional markets that in addition to complete, food ingredients sold in the market are also more fresh than those usually sold in minimarkets.
Lyra glanced at the man next to her who was still asleep with that handsome face of his. Hmm, it seems like he should leave the memo before going to the market. So Max doesn't look for him when he's gone. So thought Lyra.
Then as quickly as lightning the woman immediately got up from her sitting position and rushed up to her room upstairs to wash her face, brush her teeth, and change clothes. Lyra shaved her long hair in a ponytail model to make it more comfortable to shop at traditional markets that are usually visited by many people.
Afterwards, Lyra took out a scrap paper and pen from inside her bedside drawer. He wrote a message that he would leave for Max when he went to the traditional market later.
After all was done, Lyra went back downstairs to immediately leave for the market. However, without her guessing, Max was no longer there where the man was lying earlier, on the rug in front of the fireplace.
"Max!" call Lyra while walking through the fireplace. "Where are you? Are you awake?" ask Lyra again while continuing to search for the man.
"I'm here, Ly. And yes, I'm awake" replied Max who had just walked out of the lower room door.
It seemed like the man had also washed his face and changed his clothes. Max had even removed the bandage on his head and simply covered the wound with a protective plaster of the wound.
When Lyra turned to look at Max, she saw Lyra's hair that was shaking beautifully, making Max fascinated. His collarless neck, Lyra's long, horse-drawn hair, made Max repeatedly swallow his own saliva.
"Oh, have you changed?" ask Lyra in shock.
"Yes, because I want to go with you. May it?" Max approached the woman and tidied the hair from Lyra's cheek that was on the tip of the girl's lips.
"You want to come with me to the market?" tanya Lyra assured.
Max nodded briefly. "I know we're having bad luck and we don't have time to eat breakfast here, so I thought, how about we go to the market while all of us looking for breakfast there. Surely they also sell a variety of ready-to-eat foods in the market, right?" Max conveyed his idea.
Lyra mangosteen, "But are you okay to take a walk? How's head? Doesn't it still hurt?" ask Lyra worried.
"Just calm down, Ly. I wouldn't force a ride if I didn't feel well enough to come along. I'm a chef, remember? So I know exactly what the atmosphere in the traditional market is like." replied Max confidently.
"Alright, Max. Let's go before all the quality food is sold out" Lyra finally asked.
Just as he had locked the door of the villa from the outside, a man called out to Lyra while walking closer to where Lyra and Max were standing.
"Liara!" yelled the man.
Lyra turned her head then smiled at the man while waving her hands cheerfully. "Roooyyy!" call Lyra to name the man.
Make Max raise next to his eyebrows in wonder. In Max's heart wondered what Lyra had to do with the man.
When the man approached, in front of Max's eyes, the man immediately hugged Lyra, held her, and twisted Lyra's body like a merry-go-round. "Well, wahhh, you're getting prettier, Ly," the man praised frankly.
And seeing Lyra who was laughing received the treatment of the man, making Max increasingly frowned his forehead astonished and disliked. Especially after hearing the compliment that the man made towards Lyra.
Max doesn't like the guy hugging Lyra's body. Max hates to see the man's attitude that seems to know Lyra very well, and Max is jealous when Lyra actually looks happy to meet the man even laughs in the man's arms.
Encouraged by his immense jealousy, Max catches Lyra's body from the man's sling, lowers it and pulls Lyra into his arms and locks Lyra's body there.
"Aren't you going to introduce her to me, honey?" max asked Lyra, but her eyes looked at the man as sharply as possible, to show the man that she did not like the scene she had just seen.
Lyra was instantly transfixed in Max's arms. While the man finally realized that the man who had been standing next to Lyra was not just an ordinary friend judging by her unusual reaction.
Max replies to Roy's hand while introducing himself. "And I'm Max Sherem, Lyra's lover. Hello to you."
Hearing Max refer to himself as his lover makes both cheeks Lyra meet red. His heart did not escape the attack of flowers of various shapes and colors out of nowhere.
"Oh, Wow, I never thought Lyra would take her lover to this precious villa" Roy said, smiling broadly. "Congratulations, that means you're special" she whispered, patting Max's arm.
Max was immediately proud to hear Roy's congratulations. Max's gaze softened as his mood changes that were now flowering as well as lowering his vigilance on Roy.
"How's your wife doing, Roy?" lyra asked after breaking free from Max's embrace.
"Good, very good. We even just got a cute beautiful baby" Roy replied with a happy laugh.
"really?" pekik Lyra was no less happy. "Can I see it?" ask Roy again.
"Of course, come to my house whenever you like. Take Max too. Ryan will be very happy to meet you. My parents were there too. They've been staying for a few days," Roy was enthusiastic.
"Oh, that must be so much fun!" Lyra looked no less enthusiastic.
Seeing Lyra's happy expression made Max suggest something that had just popped into his mind.
"How about we go to Roy's house after shopping at the market?" max's proposal on Lyra.
"Oh, that's a really good idea Max!" sahut Lyra happy. "We can go through a little detour to get to Roy's house after the market. It just so happens that Roy's house is in the middle between the market and this villa" explained Lyra. And Roy just nodded his head.
"Well, after I check the electrical connections in this villa, I'll be home soon to let the house people know if you're coming with Max" Roy said.
"That's great Roy. The electricity was completely shut off after a big lightning bolt last night" Lyra reported.
"I suspected! Something must have happened with the electricity, I'll check" replied Roy. "Then what about you, Ly? Are you all right? Are you a phobia of darkness?" roy asked with a worried tone.
"I'm fine, Roy. Fortunately there was Max accompanying me here," Lyra replied while blushing in embarrassment given last night's events.
"We were forced to sleep in front of the fireplace overnight because of Lyra's frozen body from a sudden dark attack last night" Max told Roy.
"Thank you for taking care of him, man." Roy patted Max's back sincerely thanking him. Makes Max a little embarrassed by Roy's friendly attitude towards him.
Max just returned Roy's thanks by patting the big man's back.
"Alright, I'll check the remaining gas reserves in this villa. I'll re-quote if it's a little leftover so you two don't have to worry about running out of gas for the fireplace or for cooking" he assured.
"Then we'll go to the market now, Roy. Before it gets any longer" said Lyra.
"Go, guys. Have fun" Roy replies, releasing Lyra and Max.
Eventually Lyra and Max walked together down the hill past the vegetable plantation to the market. Along the way Lyra tells the story of Roy and his family to Max.
"Roy and I are both single children. And because she was older than me, we thought of each other as sisters and sisters" Lyra said.
Max just listens with a smile to see Lyra who is also smiling as she tells her childhood story with Roy.
"You know, Roy had a crush on Ryana, the chili farmer's son. Even when Ryana was dating the son of a village chief, Roy was stalking their date to protect Ryana from the village chief's notorious son" Lyra said with a laugh.
Max laughed as Lyra laughed. Seeing Lyra tell a story so happily makes Max happy too. Even just being with Lyra alone made Max feel so happy.
