Richard actually returned to Indonesia for one week. Katherine had no news at all, nor did Richard, who had not contacted her, tell each other. Katherine doesn't miss him, seriously. Okay, slightly. That guy always follows him and is always wherever Katherine is, so it's definitely gonna be a little empty when that guy's not around, right?
Such things of course happen to other people as well, so, it is not a miss. Katherine would gladly reject such feelings. So, when she finished her work at exactly five o'clock, Katherine turned her car towards her favorite cafe. He wants to enjoy ice cream and a cup of coffee.
Berlin is in summer, and the temperature is quite high and enjoying the creamy ees is the best thing to close the day. Katherine had even removed the blazer she was wearing, and left only a sleeveless shirt with cloth pants, already like that, she could still feel the hot air running through her body.
“Your order, Frau.” A waiter carried a tray containing a cup of latte and waffles topped with ice cream and sweet biscuits. The perfect combination.
Katherine thanked him with a sweet smile at the man's maid, who seemed to be young. The man replied to Katherine with a blink of an eye, no one expected that, so Katherine just smiled.
Katherine wanted to eat ice cream, but it would be incomplete without coffee. Besides alcohol, coffee is Katherine's favorite drink. Both of them have a strong taste and give their own sensation in his body, that is what he likes, things that give a strong impression and different sensations in his body.
“Enjoying your coffee?”
Katherine raised her gaze, and found Richard beside her desk. Surprised of course, this guy always knew where he was, then what was this? Shouldn't this man be in Indonesia?
“Why are you here?” ask Katherine in shock.
“Can't I see my fiancee?”
Richard moved off the suit he was wearing, still with a confused look of Katherine looking at him questioningly. Yes, her arrival was indeed very sudden, and fortunately this woman was always easy to guess. His favorite cafe can be easily found by Richard.
“You know, your presence here invites gazes from the men who are here?” asked Richard who had his suit on Katherine's shoulder.
If Katherine had been wearing proper clothing, it would not matter, but it almost showed her the entire skin. Okay, this is Europe, different from Indonesia. But still, Richard didn't like it.
“What are you doing?”
Richard sat down in front of Katherine. “You're almost bare-chested in public, and a lot of guys are watching you. I just covered up my assets.”
“You're kidding? It's summer, and I almost die of rage because of the weather, and then you give me this suit?” nagel Katherine.
Richard was not indifferent, he just presumptuously cut Katherine's waffles. The man was wearing only his white t-shirt and his flap hair that didn't seem to be given gel, and just let it fall apart like that. Yes, such a sight was enough to distract Katherine in fact.
“Do not remove it!” Richard's orders. He glanced from the corner of his eye as Katherine was about to take off the suit. “If you don't want to stir up here, you better keep using it.”
Katherine again snorted with Richard's possessive nature, she had even once worn more revealing clothes than this. Bikini had become his daily clothes when he was on vacation at the beach and had not been tied to a job like this, then this man just want to arrange what he should wear?
“Do you like me so much? You would definitely have a heart attack if you knew how I dressed up in summer like this,”, Katherine said.
“You know, I hate it so much when it comes to sharing beautiful scenery that should only be mine. So, you better take care of how you dress as long as I'm your fiancee.”
Mine. That sentence caused a warm feeling in Katherine's heart, it was the same as Richard who already had her, right? No words of love were thrown out, but that word alone made Katherine happy. Of course he won't show Richard.
“You think I'll obey all your sentences?” Katherine raised her eyebrows as a sign of challenging Richard who was enjoying his waffles.
Immediately, Katherine took off the coat that was draped on her shoulder as if nothing had happened. Then with a style that is deliberately made in such a way, he ties his long hair into a clap, and shows the neck of the tie.
“You are wrong to think I will be a sweet child in front of you,” said Katherine with a slanted smile.
Richard looked at the scene with a dark face. His hands were folded on his chest, this woman was truly one among the others. Stubborn and arrogant, and he likes it, that's the only important point among all things. Don't think he doesn't know how this woman in front of him feels, he can make this woman bend her knees to him.
“If you really want it. I never mess with all my sentences.” Richard stood up from his chair, and approached Katherine.
Katherine was a little wary of this man's movements. This was tantamount to actual suicide, Richard was reckless and also unpredictable. Richard lowered his head to the level of Katherine's face, his right hand resting on the back of the chair, while his left hand rested on the arm of the chair, locking Katherine in Richard's body. And everything happened so quickly, that Katherine was unable to resist. Richard kissed.

It has been counted since three weeks ago Liliana worked as an employee at one of the financial companies. During that time, nothing meaningful happened. She got together with her co-workers, then returned to the apartment and became a good Mother for the Eagle. Next month the Eagle ages one year, and he intends to celebrate.
A cheerful and happy face had again adorned Liliana, she was familiar with her colleagues. When we give up everything, and leave everything to destiny, everything feels easier. We determine our happiness, why we must wallow in sadness continuously.
“What will your lover pick up again?” ask Ally. One of Liliana's coworkers was sitting next to her cubicle.
“I told you she's not my lover, we're just friends.”
“I doubt there is a friendship between a man and a woman, I just can't do that with Robert, you know—“
“Stop, Susan, you're going to make me throw up with all that sultry story of yours,” cut Ally.
“You want to arrange a date with her?” lily asked the two friends.
“Susan will definitely refuse, he's in love dead with that man named Robert.”
Susan snorted to hear a sentence from Ally who always mocked her about Robert, who had been ‘friends but messraanya’ for almost a year. They have known since college, but the complicated relationship was just started by them.
“So you mean, only you can get close to that guy?” ask Susan.
“Please just like that.”
Liliana laughed again with the regular quarrels of her two friends, she was already very memorized, but also never bored. Both are people who always make the working days of Liliana more colorful. He does not need to feel lonely anymore, it turns out that having more than one friend is also not too bad.
Their working hours had just finished, and Liliana was just waiting for Enzo who was going to pick her up along with the Eagle. They're already very fit to be a small family, but Liliana hasn't, or maybe doesn't want to. Being a single mother is quite happy, this could be his best year, compared to last year.
Sadness is absolute, but no sadness is everlasting. We can always find that little happiness tucked away wherever it is. Better to find happiness than waiting for happiness to come to us. Everything you're waiting for will end up annoying, so better look for it.
Liliana's phone vibrated on her desk. “I first, huh? I'll send you my regards to Enzo.” Liliana rolled her eyes at the two friends.
Anyone who saw Liliana right now would feel envious, if they did not know what she had experienced. It's always like that, right? Whatever is seen on the outside, it will definitely be praised without caring what happens inside.
“It must be troublesome for you to do this, I will treat you ice cream,” Liliana said.
He had taken the Eagle in the special seat of the baby, for him to hold. This is the golden age of the Eagle, when the toddler began to do many things and could not stand still. Liliana should not have missed such important things, but fortunately the nanny was kind enough to record whatever her son was doing. So, Liliana can still see the development of her son, even through the screen.
“I don't bother, but you have to keep treating me. The weather is very hot, ice cream is a good choice,” said Enzo.
It doesn't matter if you have to be Liliana's shadow first. Friends are also relationships that he can't get first with Liliana, so, why not give it a try? All relationships begin with friendship
“After that I want pasta, it seems very perfect to close the day,” Enzo said again.
“Pasta? Any more? Aren't you bored?”
“I will not be bored, because your homemade pasta can not be found anywhere.”
The smile on Liliana's lips again expanded. Yeah, at least he's been smiling a lot lately. Across any problems faced, even though it feels very like dying, just smile. If everything will be okay.

Since the last time when Richard kissed her in the cafe, in front of the cafe guests who were not too crowded but still quite a lot who witnessed the incident. Katherine was completely covered in clothes, not because of Richard, she just didn't want such an event to happen again. Honestly, the kiss was very intoxicating, the thing that made Katherine not want to repeat, she was afraid of becoming opium.
It was Katherine's best kiss ever, from the many men she'd ever kissed. Maybe because they are engaged and tied to each other, so it feels very different. Is there such a thing? If there is, that is what happened. And after that Richard really did not consider the kiss the slightest, he behaved as if nothing had happened. Katherine felt her heart beating abnormally.
Katherine had to spend ice cream in front of her to relieve the nervousness that always afflicted her, even though the kiss was already over two weeks. Know what is more emergency than anything? The ice cream reminded Katherine of Richard. Before the kiss, Richard finished his waafel
join the ice cream, and the man's lip taste is ice cream.
If it's like this, Katherine wants to ask the father to marry them off. But, that's impossible.
“Are you ready for the meeting?”
Katherine jumped with a voice that appeared suddenly, her mind was out of place and she was also enjoying her favorite chocolate ice cream. It was Richard's voice that entered arbitrarily into Katherine's office.
“Can't you knock on the door first?!” hardik Katherine's. “It's still three hours away, and I've prepared everything. You think I'm that stupid to forget?”
Richard smiled in anguish. She had been feeling Katherine's change since the incident at the cafe, and she was also the target of her anger. Richard was fine with all of that, but all of that added to Katherine's level of joy. Does he sound like a man who's crazy about Katherine?
“Your temper has been so bad lately, was yesterday's kiss not enough for you?”
“Stop there!” katherine shouted as Richard walked towards her desk. Luckily, this room is soundproof.
Believe me, Richard is not the kind of man who is maniacal about something, like a kiss for example. He just wants to balance Katherine's attitude which is also very wild for him, he can adjust his attitude depending on the circumstances. It was fun too, when Katherine looked misbehaved and also nervous. Yet on other occasions, Richard could see the intense confidence of Katherine.
“You think I'll obey all your sentences?”
Katherine felt stunned when the sentence she had thrown at the man was now reversed, but she also did not want to show how nervous she was at the moment. His heart always worked beyond the rules when it came to Richard. In the end, he kept scooping the ice cream in front of him as if nothing had happened.
If that man is going to come any closer, Katherine doesn't care, and Richard always does. What else could he do?
The ice cream that was ready to enter his mouth suddenly stopped when Richard was already standing before him, there was only a table that limited them. “You know, I always like you when I'm nervous. Can't you just be a sweet lady to me?”
Richard's face lowered, and Katherine impulsively closed both eyes, making Richard smile again. But not the kiss that happened, Richard ate the ice cream that was still in Katherine's hands. It's not wrong if Katherine hates Richard, her attitude is completely unpredictable.
