"What's wrong with you today?" ask Andreas. He just came out of the bathroom. His forehead creased a thousand seeing his wife still waiting for him in the room.
"Why indeed?" Mariana asked back.
"You're being weird."
"Nothing strange. I'm like this, aren't I?"
Andreas steps towards the wardrobe to look for his clothes, but is stopped by Mariana. "I've got it," he said.
He stepped towards Andreas about to release the towel wrapped around the man's waist, Andreas immediately screamed. "What do you want to do?" The man's eyes glared.
"Serve you. Help you get dressed" replied Mariana casually. Not to forget his sweet smile always on his lips makes Andreas more dizzy.
"No need! I'm not a handicapped person. I'll wear it myself."
Never mind every morning the girl tricked buttoned on her work shirt and put on a tie, even night to wear clothes. Andrew did not want to be served that way. Mariana is not a servant. Even the waiter, he won't ask to put her on a shirt.
After getting ready to get dressed, Andreas asked Mariana who was sitting propping up her chin on the bedsheet while watching him. "What's wrong?" Mariana shook her head.
"just say. I know you want to ask me something." She stood leaning against the closet while holding her back.
Eyes with eyes. For a long time they were silent. However, after that Mariana gave a smile. "Mr Perjaka, did you raise my salary today?" tanyakanya.
"Yes" answered Andrew.
"Why?"
"The project in Larantuka went well, so I got a bonus and was promoted." Andreas smile.
"really?" Mariana stood up. "Assyc! Then we'll have to fix it."
He rushed to open the door. Before coming out, he said, "Don't be long!" He blinked his eyes before closing the door.
Andreas just smiled in response to the blinking of Kribo's eyes. She stepped onto the dresser, looking at a small gift along with a piece of paper taped on top of the gift.
A present for Lord Virgin. Don't use it to attract other women! Otherwise, be ready ….
"Love a gift, but put on a threat. It's scary!" Andreas grumbled, but his hands were still agile to open the package.
He smiled broadly after seeing the contents. "Consider him too. It just so happened to have me finished," he murmured.
It turns out that Mariana presented her with a bottle of Rexona Men perfume, a brand she really liked. While looking at the bottle of perfume for a while, Abdreas stood pensive. I don't know what he's thinking. After that he put the bottle back in the box, then went down following the Kribo Mariana.
Up to the bottom level, Andreas was stunned to see the guest room until the kitchen was so dark. He muttered, "Electricity is off?"
He called Mariana's name, but there was no word. However, when his hand was about to press the switch, the wife's voice shocked him. "Don't turn on the lights!"
"Why?" ask Andreas.
He then stepped towards the dining table, stuck the candle in a five-stemmed candle holder. "This new look looks romantic," Mariana said as she winked mischievously at Andreas. The man only screeched at the winkling of his wife's eyes. However, he quietly boasted a smile—suka.
"Where did you get that candle?"
"Please ask Siti" replied Mariana.
After all the candles were attached, he took Andreas to sit down. Mariana prepared a plate, then poked the rice for the two of them. When opening the serving hood, Andreas finds grouper fish grilled plus slices of lime and chili, pickled cucumbers and cabbage, mashed peanuts isolated, and mixed vegetable sub.
Andreas swallows saliva. The side dishes that Mariana cooked for their dinner looked delicious. I hope it doesn't feel like it's coming.
"If I knew you were promoted, we could make a barbeque with your friends" Mariana said after mucking rice for Andreas. Not forgetting she pinched the contents of the fish that much for her husband.
"It doesn't have to be that way."
"Hey, must! We give thanks as thanks because we are blessed." Andreas just smiled in response to Mariana's words.
"More times you can bring them here" Andreas said.
"Ok," Mariana replied.
The girl offered him a can of Bintang beer which he had opened and said, "Mr Perjaka, thank you for your hard work. Eat a lot, yeah."
"Thank you for also preparing this appetizing dish" Andreas replied.
"Together." Mariana laughs. "Please enjoy!"
As Mariana was about to gulp down her Bintang beer, Andreas held back the girl's hand movements. "Can you have a beer?" ask Andreas. As he remembered the wife was not authorized by Abang Budi to consume alcoholic beverages even though only a little because it would damage his vocal cords.
"A little is not a problem. After all, this beer has a low alcohol content. Just a few percent" replied Mariana.
They finally enjoyed the evening meal with great joy. Mariana talked a lot, telling me about all her activities that day, including a new customer who ordered a lot of accessories. Every now and then their chatter is decorated with jokes and laughter. The heartbreak of being left behind by loved ones, namely the mother and the lover, no longer Andreas felt since his introduction to Mariana.
The girl had been chanting her lonely days, watering her heart garden with longing flowers, filling the void of souls with laughs and jokes. Slowly his heart began to accept the girl in his life. May this happiness be theirs both.
"Kribo, let's toast!" take Andreas with you while lifting his beer can.
Mariana also lifted her beer can. "Mr Virgin, may your work be more successful in the future."
"Amen. Hopefully your customers will also grow, so you can open another Mariana Bling-Bling store here."
"Amen. Come, toast!"
"Return!" they shouted, along with cans of beer that clashed with each other.
