S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#45
Andre and Lucy return to the apartment in wet clothes. After cleaning up and changing clothes, Lucy goes to the kitchen to see what she can cook. Because it was wet, now both of them feel hungry.
"What are you looking for?" asked Andre who was still drying his hair with a towel.
"I'm looking for something to cook. Looks like there's no food in your fridge to cook" said Lucy, who was still searching.
"How about we eat out, it's easier than you have to cook." proposed Andre.
"I was lazy to go outside again, and also too tired to travel. Your car is in the car wash" said Lucy sitting on the dining table.
Andre just kept quiet and looked around his house. He was confused what to do, his brain was now unable to work because of hunger and also tired. Shortly after, Lucy got up from her chair and walked out.
"Where are you? You said you were tired of coming out." asked Andre.
"Do you want us to starve to death? I'm going to the minimarket below and buy some instant noodles." said Lucy casually.
"Why should instant noodles? It's not good for health." said Andre tried to stop.
"That's if you eat constantly, I'm going to buy instant noodles anyway. You wanna come?" ask Lucy.
"I'll put this down first, wait for me." said Andre, pointing at the towel.
With a lazy pace Andre followed Lucy from behind. He was a little less like instant noodles since childhood, even Andre prefers to eat boiled sweet potatoes compared to eating instant noodles. Before long they entered the minimarket and took some goods to be purchased.
With Lucy's shrewdness he bought some instant noodles, eggs and corned beef. Andre chose some bread and jam to eat.
"What do you want to do? Can you spend this much instant noodles?" ask Andre to see the instant noodles that Lucy chose.
"It's not all cooking, we can cook this next time in an emergency." Clearly Lucy.
Andre just silently heard the woman's words, he did not want to argue with Lucy at that time for fear of wasting his energy that stayed a little.
After shopping, Lucy immediately launched her action to cook special instant noodles. While Andre was waiting for him while making jam sandwich.
"Do you not want to eat this noodle later with me?" lucy asked to look at Andre who was chewing.
"I will eat it later, now my stomach is really hungry and protesting" said Andre who enjoyed eating it.
"What if you're full because of this bread? I'm going to confiscate it." said Lucy to take the bread in front of Andre.
"But...." Andre was just silent unable to continue his words seeing Lucy's angry gaze.
Andre took a drink and immediately drank it while looking at Lucy who was now very focused on cooking. She was really pretty when the sedan focused on something. Andre walked up to Lucy who was now cooking her instant noodles and hugged her from behind.
"Ahh, what are you doing." cried Lucy suddenly.
"Nothing, I just hugged you. You look adorable when you cook." said Andre.
Lucy's face immediately flushed to hear Andre's words. He was completely misbehaved and pounding and making him less focused. Lucy immediately let go of Andre's embrace and left him.
"Hey where are you going?" ask Andre.
"I wouldn't be able to cook if you teased me like that" Lucy said sulking.
"Alright, I'll leave you alone here and finish my work" Andre relented.
______________________
Lucy got up early and got ready to go somewhere. Andre who saw it immediately felt curious and wondered in his heart.
"Why is he dressed so neatly today? Does he have an appointment with another guy out there?" inner Andre.
"I'll go with Carlo today, you don't mind, do you?" ask Lucy.
"Tumben did you go with your friend without telling me before?" asked Andre curiously.
"Yesterday's plan I was going to tell you, but because of that incident I forgot." Lucy explained.
"Well, do you want me to drive you to meet him?" ask Andre again.
"No, I'll go alone. I've prepared breakfast for you at the dinner table and your coffee. Don't forget to eat it before it gets cold" Lucy said.
Andre just nodded at Lucy's words. He can not force his lover and keep him because Lucy also has the right to meet with his friends.
"Call me if you need anything" Andre said.
"All right, I'm going ok" Lucy said goodbye and kissed Andre on the forehead.
Lucy left Andre who was still sitting silent. Lucy leaves in a taxi and heads to a bookstore. I don't know what he's doing there, but it's like he's enjoying all the books in front of him.
"Hi, why did you ask me to meet here?" ask a woman who is none other than Carlo.
"You've come? I'm choosing some books. I was curious and tried to find the answer in the book." said Lucy.
"You wonder what? It's not like you're usually curious to find out like this." asked Carlo curiously.
"Let's sit there, I'll have a discussion with you." Lucy asked.
They went to a table that had been prepared in the bookstore and sat there carrying some books to read.
"So, what do you want to discuss with me?" ask Carlo curiously.
"I, I'm curious about this" Lucy said, pointing out a book.
Carlo saw a book explaining Islam and looked strangely at his friend.
"You were forced by your boyfriend to convert to Islam?" ask Carlo curiously.
"No, not at all. I opened their scriptures and I don't know why all of a sudden I was interested in all of this" Lucy said.
"Owh, maybe you should ask Lucy directly. Who knows, he'll explain it well to you." suggested Carlo.
"Are you sure? I'm afraid she'll think strangely of me." said Lucy.
"Hey, how can you find the answer if you don't ask him who has been from childhood educated with that teaching. Yeah what's wrong with just asking." said Carlo.
Lucy was silent at Carlo's words. What his best friend said was true, rather than looking for it himself and could not conclude it better he asked Andre directly.
Lucy and Carlo leave the bookstore and buy some books for her to read at home before she asks Andre. His curiosity was now getting stronger and impatient to ask Andre directly all the questions that were now in his mind.
