The Dream of the President

Walking Walk

Leo and Shasa will be walking around the city all day. Both are ready with comfortable clothes and shoes. Assistant Haris and Lita have also prepared a car that will bring the Master and Nyonya to enjoy this city.

As Leo and Shasa headed to the front door of the house, Shasa immediately stopped his steps when he saw the parked cars.

"Darling, we don't have to use the car. I'm just gonna walk. I want to enjoy every street atmosphere in this city."

"Street? You're gonna be tired, baby. We're going to some places today. The distance is not close either."

"But I want to walk first. Which is near here."

Leo looked at Shasa. He thought for a moment about how to respond to his wife's request.

"Okay, we're on foot. We're going to a shopping area near here." Leo pointed in one direction. "But it's over, we go in the car." Leo tried to negotiate.

Shasa nodded cheerfully. They also went on foot, holding hands. Assistant Haris and Lita followed them from behind with a considerable distance but could still be monitored.

They walked along the sidewalk of a street that looked clean. Not too many people pass by. The building is neatly arranged with green grass that can still be found here and there. Some people were walking with their pets and some were sitting in long chairs under shady trees.

Shasa looked very pleased. He rolled his eyes around the road. Leo wrapped his arms around Shasa's waist and kept him from spacing out, preventing Shasa from wandering around here and there.

They also arrived at a shopping complex. Shasa was already flabbergasted in awe of the place he had come to.

"What do you want to buy, baby? There's clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, chocolate." Leo pointed one by one at the shop he mentioned earlier.

"I want to go to that store." Shasa pointed at a handicraft shop.

They also entered the shop. In it a lot of knick-knacks made directly by the hands of craftsmen. Shasa observed every item in the store enthusiastically.

"Can you help me, sir?" A shopkeeper greeted Leo in a foreign language.

"My wife might want to buy something." Leo replied without taking his eyes off Shasa.

The shopkeeper approached Shasa and greeted him. Shasa pointed towards an orange hat. Leo approached Shasa.

"Do you want this, baby?" Ask Leo.

"Yes, this one. Is it expensive?"

"I'll take this hat." Without answering Shasa's question, Leo immediately took the hat and handed it to the shopkeeper. Then the shopkeeper asked Leo a few things that Shasa did not understand.

Leo pays Shasa's hat and puts it on Shasa.

"Wait a minute." Shasa took off the hat that Leo was wearing earlier and looked at the inscription on the hat. "You added it?" Shasa asked smiling.

Leo raised both eyebrows hinting that he had asked the shopkeeper to add an embroidered inscription on the hat.

"Mrs. Gusta." Shasa read the writing. "You're so creative." Shasa said cheerfully while wearing his hat back. He grabbed Leo by the hand and walked outside the shop.

"What do you want to buy again?" Ask Leo.

Shasa forces Leo to take a photo together using the country's signature outfit. For decades Leo lived there, not once did he get interested in photographing the concept.

"Darling, we're just taking pictures of normal clothes." Leo grumbled but Shasa still wore accessories to complete Leo's outfit.

"Darling, I will also wear a pair of clothes with you. I know you've never done this, right? Let's do this once." Shasa pleaded with a bit of force.

Leo snorted resignedly. They also took photos several times in different styles. When she was done, Shasa spoke to the staff at the studio, using all of her body language so that she could understand what Shasa wanted. Leo only shook his head to watch Shasa who bothered to convey his wishes, but still refused when Leo wanted to help.

"Darling, what are we waiting for?" Leo asked who was confused because he had waited half an hour in the studio. In fact, the photos were all printed.

"Attent, darling. There's another one that's not yet done."

Before long, the clerk at the studio approached Shasa and gave her a box. Shasa was seen thanking the task and immediately walked towards Leo who was sitting on the sofa.

"This is for you." Shasa thrust the box at Leo.

Leo looked at Shasa incessantly, but his hand took the box before him. Ta-da! A mug printed with a picture of Leo and Shasa during the photo session. At the lower right end of the mug are also inscribed today's date and Shasa's name with a heart icon. Leo smiled at the mug.

"Make sure you're just using that mug for a drink at the office, okay?" Shasa said as he blinked his eyes. Leo hugged the adorable Shasa.

They continue their journey. Now, Leo will take Shasa to his favorite place. Assistant Haris and Lita are seen waiting for the two along with the car ready to take Leo and Shasa away. Suddenly Shasa stopped his steps.

"Darling, is your favorite place within reach of that ride?" Shasa pointed to a walking level bus and asked in a spoiled tone.

"Honey, you promised, after walking earlier, we will continue the streets by car. If we get on that bus, we have to switch buses because the route is different." Leo was a little bit of a nag.

"But I've never been on a bus. I really want to ride it." Shasa said in a sad tone, hoping that Leo would pity him.

"No. We'll just use the car." Firm Leo. Shasa pouted for a moment. Leo really doesn't know how to deal with his wife anymore. Leo called Haris' assistant with a gesture of his hand. Assistant Haris immediately ran over to Leo.

"I'll proceed to the next place on the level bus. You just follow us from behind in that car." Leo's orders.

"Good, Sir."

Shasa's triumphant cheer rumbled in his heart. Leo will not want to follow Shasa's wishes anymore. They also walked to the bus stop.

Assistant Haris returned to where Lita was standing.

"Why did the President and the Madam walk in that direction?" Lita asked confused.

"When a woman's deceit beats a conglomerate who's just first in love, it's like this." Assistant Haris raises both of his shoulders. Again, Lita just shook her head to see the boss with his beloved wife crowded with others at the bus stop.
