The Couple In Love
Episode 21
Daniel was still staring straight at Akira waiting for an answer. However, Akira was still silent in his own mind. Daniel turned his eyes and sighed. “Your smile is, is that you? Women used to answer him silently or smile, right? But, sometimes it also means rejection for some women who are unable to
expressing feelings. But, for your smile, I think you need some time to answer. Am I right?”
Akira laughed a little. “ Then, if I need time, will you wait for me until I answer?”
“Hmm. I'm a pretty patient man for that. You can answer it whenever you're ready.”
“Really?”
“Why? You don't believe it?”
“How long is it whenever yours?”
“At least two years.”
Akira laughed again. “You'll wait that long? Are you sure?”
“Hey, I'm serious! Why are you laughing like that? Is there anything funny?”
“Hhhh, whatever, as long as you have no regrets.” Akira finally answered.
It was Daniel's turn to laugh. “Why should I regret?”
“Entaihlah, we just know each other.”
Daniel suddenly sat on the sand facing the sea and the sun was returning to his side. “Sit!” His request to Akira later. Akira immediately followed sitting down without asking. “You know, I've been interested and liked you for a long time.”Daniel suddenly. Akira looked towards Daniel. His heart was shocked.
His heart stopped beating.
“Since when?” Akira asked in courage.
“Since first saw you.”
“Hah? Wasn't that when you came to my house and it was only about two months ago? You said it was long?”
“Hhhh, looks like you forgot. We've met before.”
“Really? When's? Where?” akira's face turned enthusiastic and curious.
“At Hotel Horison while celebrating the hotel's 43rd birthday, two years ago. You don't remember ever seeing me? You even mentioned your name to me when I asked, even though you were just slacking off after that before I could say my name. Do you remember now?”
Akira tries to open his memory. However, he shook his head. “Sorry, I don't remember. All I remember was I was in a bad mood because of a problem. My emotions got out of control so I don't care who or whatever.”
“Oh, , I was almost frustrated twice because you didn't care about me and because you don't even remember me when we first met in Korea even after we got better acquainted at your house two months earlier.”.
“Ah, sorry! I really suck at recognizing other people.”
“I was lucky to immediately mention my name when we met in Korea. That way, you won't forget me again. Never mind, if it was you, I could accept it. Even if you forget a thousand times my name, that much I would go back to tell you.” Daniel smiled sincerely ending his words.
Akira smiled sincerely at Daniel. “Did you really like me since two years ago?”
“Sure. You don't believe it?”
“Then why didn't you take a step back then? And what were you doing during that time?”
“I... save it... in my heart..”.
“Saved? Aren't you afraid of being late to keep it that long? What if it's doomsday tomorrow? Or maybe someone ahead of you got it? You don't regret being late?”
Daniel's eyes glazed over hearing it. “Sorry! There is something that makes me not dare to hope for much. I only dared to keep it until an opportunity came.” Daniel's tears trickled down.
Akira's confused. Why is Daniel crying? Does he know that I'm married? Or because my question is so painful? Do I have to be honest now?
“Sorry, I really didn't mean..”.
“Sstt... don't continue it!” Akira hinted silently with the index finger he placed in front of his lips. “You just need to know that the delay has a price to pay. And sometimes that price is not something you can easily accept or give. Therefore, for the next even though late is better
instead of nothing, try not to be late again!”
Daniel smiled back. “I'm lucky because the girl I like is you.
Deg. Guilt started to creep in Akira's heart and carried over to her facial expression. “Lucky? How can you be lucky.?” Akira asked.
“Oh, it's almost night! We need to eat fast. You must be hungry too, right?”
“Oh...of course..”.
Daniel stood extending his tag to Akira. “Come!” Akira grabs Daniel's hand and stands up and walks down the beach with Daniel to the car.
*******
“Come in!” take Daniel with you while pulling Akira's arm. Akira stepped in with Daniel into a magnificent restaurant with a complete Korean menu and various international dishes from various countries, including Indonesia.
The interior is very nice. Combining classic and modern elements in every corner of the room with a slick. The atmosphere is crowded but very comfortable. Until then came…
Daniel and Akira pick a table by the window. Dinner with loved ones while enjoying the surrounding scenery decorated with various colorful lights seems very fun. Both of them smiled happily. Daniel immediately waved his hand with his little finger half folded to signal the waiter who then immediately approached his desk and thrust the menu list at Daniel and Akira.
“What do you want to eat?”
“I think it would be more fun if you decide the menu we will eat, the menu you like..”.
“Alright..” Daniel then ordered his favorite menus and drinks. Waiter soon left after taking down Daniel's order.
“Hey Akira, do you really want to order something you like?”
Akira smiles. “I'll love what you like, and will learn to like it if I don't actually like.”.
“Heeh... it is only done by someone when he loves that person...is this an answer?”.
“You said you could give me some time until I was ready to give you an answer, right? Is that this fast?”
“Faster will be better. Anyway, I'm serious.”
“Hah, seriously?” Akira thought with a smile that he put up in exchange for a reply to Daniel. “If I meet you first... Ah, what am I really doing..?” thought Akira again.
“Ah, the atmosphere here is really fun! Beautiful and comfortable despite this crowded... do you often come here?”.
“Not really. Only when I want to. I prefer to cook by myself.”.
“Heeh...really?”
“Of course! It will hone my cooking skills and I can make referrals to open a restaurant while in Indonesia, in addition, it will also be useful when I am married later if my wife is sick at any time or can not cook for us.”.
“Wah, you're thinking that far! The woman who married you must be so happy!” Daniel laughs.”Why are you laughing? Anything funny?”
“Didn't I have offered you to be that woman?”
