The Bridge Of Love

CHAPTER 23 Dinner

Carnations ask Chrysanthemums for time to think about their relationship. Yes, he has not answered the husband to continue the marriage or end it. There is still a lot of excitement in the heart of Carnation.

They haven't met for a few days. Chrysanthemum is not preoccupied with his work, so is he. But that's not why they didn't meet. Carnations deliberately shy away from Chrysanthemums to seek the right decision without any influence from Chrysanthemums. Therefore, she did not want to meet her husband.

"Vinnie, what's today's schedule?"

"Meeting with a client at 10, Miss. There's been a schedule for this week. Friday night there will be a charity night hosted by the Bronson family and you are invited to the event. Is Miss willing to come?"

"False night?" tanya Anyelir frowned.

"Yes, the Bronson Family will annually hold a charity night in honor of their family's ancestors. Only invited guests can attend the event. Miss got an invitation for a representative from Mr. Petra. Because of Damian, Grand Master Bronson is on good terms with Uncle Miss.  Therefore, the one who gets the invitation will feel a great honor. Although, sometimes there are parties who try to enter."

"you mean? The one trying to get in?"

"Yes, Miss. The Bronson family belongs to a conglomerate family. Many want to meet Mr. Abraham Bronson in person. He is the successor of the Bronson family. Son of Damian Bronson. Mr. Abraham besides being handsome, he has the generous nature of his father. He's the one who's currently running the charity night. It is very likely that Lord Damian Bronson will also be present. However, it cannot be ascertained either. Mr. Abraham, besides being handsome and generous. He is also very humble. She is very friendly, dimples add to her good looks and do not forget the 1.9 m height that adds to the manly effect. Not only that, he's Ju—"

"Stop! I didn't ask for the profile of the man! Do you think this is a matchmaking bureau? I'm just curious about why uninvited people want to come too?" Carnations staring at the cynical Vinnie who had grown up once spoke quite a lot. "Don't tell me those uninvited people just want to see the man's good looks!" grunts.

Vinnie smelled a shy smile. He had seen Abraham Bronson, who was very handsome. "Sorry Miss. There was once an uninvited guest willing to pay an invitation from an invited guest. The person wanted to meet with Mr. Abraham to invite cooperation. Because Mr. Abraham is very selective in choosing business associates."

"So, he's the sole heir? Not like Lukas Tomoshita, is it?" ask Carnation.

Lukas Tomoshita holds the Dekhasi Corporation. However, he could not make an absolute decision. Because he's not the heir. The company, still has other leaders.

"Yes, Miss. Mr. Abraham is The Real Billionaire" said Vinnie.

"Looks, you admire him a lot" said Anyelir.

"I think every woman will be attracted to him" Vinnie said, smiling.

"Looks like you're getting brave for me!" grunts Carnations.

"Sorry Miss," said Vinnie lowered her head.

"It's okay. I like you to express yourself."

Vinnie. "May I accompany Miss on charity night?" ask Vinnie expectantly. Each invitation is allowed to bring a couple.

"Did I say I'd come?" tanya Anyelir raised her eyebrows side by side. He just wanted to tease Vinnie.

Vinnie sighed softly. Though she knew herself it was impossible to have Abraham as her husband. However, looking at Abraham from a distance could make his heart happy.

Carnations chuckle. "I'll think of coming or not going there."

Vinnie's face instantly brightened. Carnation's phone rang a notification sign from the incoming chat, a phone number that was not stored on his phone. However, the series of numbers is very memorized. He could not forget the husband's number.

"Where do you know my number?" muttered Carnations. He looked at Vinnie. "You go."

"None right."

Carnations read a message from Chrysanthemum after Vinnie came out of his room.

[It's been three days. I came to your office? Or did you come to my office?]

Carnation type reply for Chrysanthemum.

[Later to call.]

[Don't take too long. If you don't come by tomorrow afternoon. I'll take you home to our house!]

"What's he! Why do I feel guilty!" grunts Carnations.

Carnations don't reply to Chrysanthemum messages anymore. He continued his work. Internal meetings, meeting with Clients. Carnation out of the company of his business partners in the afternoon. He went back to his apartment. Renan was in Singapore to see his father. Petra asked Renan to come back just for a few days to help the company in Singapore.

"Hi" said Chrysanthemum in front of the elevator.

The daydream of Carnations is scattered when you hear the sound of chrysanthemums. Only this morning they sent a message and in the afternoon they met. For several days they did not meet, even just an accidental meeting like this time.

"Why are you here?" ask Carnation.

"Have you forgotten that I live in front of your apartment unit? I didn't break any promises to see you. We just accidentally met, right?"

Ting! The sound of the elevator rang, they got into the elevator. Carnations see grocery bags in Chrysanthemum hands. "Are you cooking for dinner?"

"Yes" replied the short Chrysanthemum. During his stay in the apartment, he did prepare his own needs. He looked at the carnation. "But soon someone will make me eat."

Carnations only grunt, not wanting to answer Chrysanthemum remarks. The elevator opens, they head for their apartment units.

"Have you had dinner?" chrysanthemum asked shortly before Anyelir walked into her apartment.

"Why?"

"Don't eat first. I'm gonna cook. Tweet it."

"No need to bother. I still have plenty of food at home."

"I'll cook sapo tofu and dumplings stuffed duck."

"Fill dumplings?" ask Carnation. Dumplings that are usually chicken. But Chrysanthemum makes duck meat stuffing. He used to love that food.

"Yes, come at exactly 7" said Krisan into his apartment unit without waiting for a reply.

Chrysanthemum is busy preparing his dinner dishes. Not only sapo tofu seafood and dumpling fill. He also made some other dishes. All he made was Carnation's favorite.

Carnations hit the bell at exactly 7 p.m. The chrysanthemum opened the door. "Where's Renan?"

"He is in Singapore. In a few days it will be back. Do you mind if there's no him?"

Chrysanthemum smile. "Of course not. Let's go in."

Carnations enter the Chrysanthemum apartment unit. His eyes circled around, interiors with luxury items. "Now you like luxury goods" said Anyelir.

"I learned from you" said Chrysanthemum. He is not too concerned with branded goods. He only buys if it suits his taste.

Carnations follow the steps of Chrysanthemums until they enter the area with a dim atmosphere. A round table on which are available various types of food. There's a candle on the table.  There was one small flower vase in the middle of that round table. White chrysanthemum flowers and white carnations are in one vase. Looks beautiful to the eyes.

Carnations just bow their heads. Chrysanthemums pull up the chair and allow the Carnations to sit. "Thank you" said Carnival.

Carnations stared at every dish available. All were her favorite foods, feeding a spoon into her mouth. The same taste, the ability to cook chrysanthemum is still the same. When they are still together, Chrysanthemums often cook. Although, more buy food so because of the busy Chrysanthemum work.

Carnations chew slowly, enjoying each bite. Romantic mood like this ever happened. Chrysanthemums that do not have much money, make a surprise romantic dinner in their own home. Romantic dinner to commemorate their second wedding anniversary. Times where their finances are at their lowest.

Chrysanthemums can only stare at Carnations while occasionally feeding food into his mouth. Until they finished dinner without any conversation. He stared at the flowers in the vase. "Beautiful right?" tanyakanya.

Carnations follow the direction of Chrysanthemum view. Two types of flowers of the same color. Slightly similar, but different. "Yes." Yeah."

"They'll always be together."

"Not really, placed in a different vase will be beautiful. If it is made into a place like this. Who looks dominant? If it was the first time that a chrysanthemum flower was seen, one would say it was a chrysanthemum flower. However, if what they saw was carnations. So, they would say the flowers in the vase are carnations. It is not possible to define a single flower if there are more than one flower. Moreover, the flowers are the same color and also almost similar."

"You're right, being put apart does still look pretty. However, if put together like this, it will add to its beauty. They'll see two flowers like this become one entity."

Carnations know the meaning of the direction of Chrysanthemum talk, not once did her husband make flowers like their name in one vase. Yeah, she always said, they'd always be together like flowers in a vase. Carnations have also been arranging flowers in the style of Japanese art using chrysanthemums and carnations.

"Thank you for dinner. I say goodbye," said Anyelir rose from his seat.

Chrysanthemums take Carnations. Not yet at the door, he said, "I'm waiting for your answer."

Carnations. "Light be tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. I'll be in my office" replied Chrysanthemum. Hinted that he would wait in his office.

There was no expression on Carnations' faces. There was no face of shame, cheerfulness or sadness. Makes Chrysanthemum can't guess whether his wife complies with his referral request.

Carnations returned to his apartment, his habit of looking at the ceiling in his room as if asking for answers. He took his cell phone, not enough nights to rest. He opened an online shop.

Choosing some goods to be delivered at that time, Carnations waiting in his apartment. After waiting for almost an hour, finally his ordered goods came as well.

"Thank you" said Carnations to the courier.

She smiled and put her groceries in. Carnations sat in the living room and began to arrange flowers in front of him. Yes, flowers are bought at night. Luckily the flower shop was not closed. Eyes that are still awake, make himself hone his ability in ikebana.
