Should I Lose to Destiny

An unexpected meeting

 

The taxi that drove Rose and Clara stopped in front of the restaurant lobby. Clara paid for her *argo* cab and walked into the restaurant gracefully holding hands with Rose...

The restaurant has several floors. All are level according to their level. The first floor was full and there was no more seating, Clara took Rose up to the second floor. And there were some empty chairs on the window sidelines. Clara took Rose to sit there. Rose only complied and did not argue...

Just as Rose was about to sit down by accident the chair she pulled hit a man who was walking across them...

"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry!" Said the man...

Rose gasped to see the man, he chased after him but could no longer be found. Rose returned to her desk, Clara was already waiting for her with worry...

"What's up Rose? why are you running all of a sudden?" Ask Clara quickly...

"I saw it. But I can't find him!" Rose replied weakly...

"Who?" Ask Clara...

"One of the men who helped me back then!" Obviously Rose..

"You may have seen it wrong!" Clara said to calm Rose...

"No way 'sister, I remember the faces of both. I'll never forget the faces of those two!" Rose replied sure...

"Yes already... Maybe it's not time you met. Relax, as long as you're one city you'll still meet sooner or later!" Obviously Clara calms Rose...

 

Rose was silent. He was sure that he saw Arga he remembered very much on his face. But why did Arga run so fast that he couldn't catch up....

"Order!" Clara said to divert the conversation by giving Rose a menu book...

"What message?" Ask Rose...

"Let's go. I'm confused!" Answer Clara cengengesan..

"Miss... Good night... Is there anything I can help you with?" said a servant approaching the two women...

"Ah yes... Can you recommend us the best menu here?" Pinta Clara's...

"I'm sorry if I could know which country the menu is from?" Ask the waiter again...

For a moment Clara thought, she looked at Rose but Rose was still indifferent, perhaps because she was still thinking about the man she had met earlier...

"France.I never eat French!" Clara...

The waiter understood, he opened the menu book and showed it to Clara and explained it...

"Our main menu has bouillabaisse (pronounced Buyabes) it is a fish soup that is boiled with limited sauce, served separately with Rouille sauce and toast added to the soup. The appetizer is Mouse Chocolat (Mousse Brown). And dessert there Souffle is a mixture of butter and egg whites served with ice cream and fresh fruits. That's our French dish Miss!" Obviously the waiter...

"Ah seems interesting,Bring us two servings with your best Wine!" Clara said to the waiter...

 

Rose immediately looked at Clara, Clara just smiling...

"Sister... Why are you spending so much money? Sweetheart! Tell me, is today such a special day that you're so excited about wasting your money?!" Ask Rose...

"It turns out you're interested in my choice, too. I guess you'll still be busy thinking about your princes!" Goda Clara's...

"You are, I'm just curious. But maybe it's true you said, I saw it wrong!" Rose calmed his heart...

Clara did not answer anymore, she took a deep breath with an empty eye. It's like he misses someone...

"You wanna hear?" Clara made sure again...

"Yes... Say it! don't make me curious and confused!" Obviously Rose...

"Today is my husband's birthday. If he's still around, I'll celebrate with him. But because of the accident, I couldn't celebrate!" Clara said with slightly glazed eyes...

"You know, it's been 3 years that I've been celebrating alone. We were only married 5 months before the accident took half my soul away. This is the 4th year I celebrated without her beside me. But I'm happy, you're with me until I want to make tonight a memorable night for us!" Said Clara who was about to cry...

 

Rose could only hold her hand. She has heard the story of Clara's husband's death dozens of times. But he never prevented it, because he knew forgetting someone who had shared his feelings with him was difficult. He always let Clara talk about it. Maybe it can slightly reduce the longing for her husband....

"Excuse me!" Said a waiter with a smiley face approaching them and serving the food they ordered...

"Please enjoy!" The waiter said as he put down his last plate...

"Rose I we spent, don't waste any more time! You must be hungry after a long day of work!" Clara said excitedly...

Rose ate the dish voraciously, as did Clara. They enjoy the typical French food while chatting with Wine as a complement to their celebration tonight...

After almost an hour of enjoying the meal, Clara walked to the balcony not far from their dining table. He lit his cigarette while exhaling the first puff of the cigarette. Rose approached and gave him Wine...

"Tonight was beautiful... I never thought I could enjoy this beautiful night. I guess I'll catch up with my husband after almost going crazy for his sudden loss!" Clara...

"Cigarettes?" Clara asked Rose who was indeed more silent...

Rose picked up a cigarette and lit it. He looked around from the balcony. Soon she saw Kenzi talking to a man on the other balcony. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure that his vision was not wrong..

"Sister... Moment .. I'll go to the toilet first!" Rose told Clara...

Clara just smiled and gave her thumbs up. Afraid he'll lose someone who saved him. He immediately searched for Kenzi...

Kenzi was still talking to a\-man who was dressed very neatly and looked like big bosses. Rose wanted to approach him, but he stopped his steps as he was about to greet him...

He turned around when a woman held Kenzi's hand in a friendly manner. He did not want to cause misunderstandings because of his presence. He called a servant who passed by....

"I'm sorry... Can I know who's there?" Rose asked pointing at Kenzi...

"Oh.. He is a famous businessman in the capital city. He is the Chairman of K Group. What's the matter Miss?" Ask the waiter...

"Ah no... I seem to be the wrong person. I thought he was my old acquaintance!" Rose is lying...

"Aah so Miss? Is there anything else?" Ask the waiter again...

"No. thanks!" Rose replied, who immediately turned to meet Clara...

"K Group... Alright... Maybe I can give you that gift over there!" Rose said in her heart.....

Rose gets excited and meets Clara who is waiting for her on the balcony...
