THE FORTUNATES

ENCOUNTER

    Kendrick put Beatrice's seatbelt on when they were in Sam's car that night.

    “ What do you want to eat, baby? “ Ask Kendrick while opening her face mask.

    “ Barbecue! “ Pinta Beatrice is like a child whining begging for something.

    “ Okay, take us to Gwang Hwa Mun ya Sam. Restaurants close to the train station. “ Connect Kendrick while giving orders to Sam and the man nods slowly.

    Sam drove his vehicle at moderate speed, not long drive he parked the BWM car in metallic red right in front of the barbecue casual dining house.

    “ Come on Sam? “ Tawar Beatrice while opening the door handle slowly.

    “ Let Sam eat at home, Aunty has prepared dinner. “ Kendrick resolutely rejects Beatrice's request before Sam's voice gives an answer.

    Finally Beatrice agreed Kendrick's words and followed the man into the restaurant that was quite loose that night. Restaurant dominated by glass walls but still looks warm and elegant, table – wooden table neatly arranged and already equipped with stove table and also chimney above it.

    Kendrick chose a table in the corner of the room, a table a little far away with a place that still exists

a group of people were enjoying the fun that night. As soon as Beatrice sat on the chair Kendrick had drawn for her, she dropped her body in delight.

    “ I was right – really enjoy our date this dear! “ Saying Beatrice with enthusiasm.

    “ I'm also dear, so what do you want to eat? “ Ask Kendrick while flicking her hand to call the waiter.

    “ Whatever you choose I know it feels good! “ Connect Beatrice lets Kendrick choose their dinner menu.

    As the man gazed at the thick menu book the waiter was proffering from, Kendrick immediately chose the Korean restaurant's signature menu. He chose a serving of usamgyeop, a very thinly cut beef brisket and served with a sweet sauce. A serving of galbi money, wagyu, as well as a serving of kimchi soup served with hot pot with beef is also tofu. Not to forget they ordered sidedish as a complement, such as perilla leaf, lettuce and cheese.

    “ Can I drink this? “ Beatrice is seen pointing to a picture of a green drink bottle, a drink that he really wants to try.

    “ We order beer only huh? “ This time Kendrick did not approve Beatrice's application, but did not necessarily make Beatrice sad.

    Precisely what Kendrick prohibited made the man look even more sweet and adorable. Beatrice can even feel Kendrick's love through the – little things she forbids to do, she likes Kendrick's attitude just now.

    Moments later, the food Kendrick had ordered was served on the table. Beatrice began to bake the meat that her husband had already ordered excitedly. The savory aroma emanating from the top of the pan intrigued Beatrice's appetite that night.

    Kendrick looked so happy to see a smile crashing around the corner of Beatrice's lips that seemed busy grilling their dinner. Simple women who can smile that wide just by enjoying the time together, just by holding hands in the room of the reanglala, the woman who was right – has stolen his heart.

    “ Aaaa, let's try baby. “ Beatrice blows the meat she just picked up from the pan and then feeds it into Kendrick's mouth.

    Kendrick seemed to devour the food that was extended by Beatrice with the feeling of flowering – flowers. He took turns feeding his wife with meat that he wrapped with perilla leaves and added a little kimchi to the package. The guy was right – really looks very happy.

    “ Hi Ken, what kind of coincidence is this? Until we meet here?  “ The voice of a woman shocks Kendrick and Beatrice who are still devouring their dinner.

    As Kendrick stared at the source of the voice, it was Regina who came to their table. Kendrick's face turned extremely grim, a look of annoyance enveloping him. Regina's hand arrived – just touched the back of her hand on the table, quickly the man threw Regina's hand while throwing chopsticks on the table.

    “ You're not following us, are you? We were enjoying malan and your presence interrupted our dinner. “ Kendrick's voice is heard rising and Kendrick's eyes look irritated.

“ Dear. “ Beatrice holds gently Kendrick's hand trying to dampen her husband's frustration.

    “ I only try to be professional while working Regina. “ Answer Kendrick briefly.

    “ Miss Regina, you better leave us. Look at some people watching you with faces full of telisik. “ Beatrice's voice sounded vibrating.

    Regina circulated her gaze looking around the tenuous restaurant, he saw some employees and also friends – his friend who was sitting on a bench not far from Kendrick's desk was watching him full of question marks. The woman finally chose to leave Kendrick's desk and Beatrice returned to the chair that had been occupied by her friends.

    “ Dear I went to the toilet for a while. “ By Beatrice on Kendrick.

    The beautiful woman sauntered into the toilet and then into one of the rooms, wiping the crystal-clear water that flowed gently from her eyes. He felt torn when he heard Regina's words just now.

    “ Is Kendrick as good as it was at filming? “ asks Beatrice to herself.

    Beatrice then headed towards the sink and washed her hands with water flowing from the faucet shower. A long-haired woman slipped into the toilet and approached Beatrice, who was still standing, washing her hands.

    “ Don't be so cocky thinking that Kendrick is right – loves you. “ Regina spoke cynically to Beatrice who is now standing next to her.

    “ Thank you for kindly reminding me of – things like that. “ Beatrice breezes from the front of the sink and leaves the woman there alone.

    “Oh, and don't be too confident. Kendrick doesn't have any feelings for you at all. “ Continue Beatrice while pulling bathroom door handle.

    Honestly Beatrice felt a deep fear, as if her courage had fallen to the tip of her foot. But he tried to look strong in front of Regina, he did not want the woman to ruin the happiness he had felt today.

    “ Honey, let's just go home yuk? “ Pinta Beatrice when found Kendrick playing his phone in the original seat.

    “ Okay darling. “ Male – the man put his phone in his pants pocket then grabbed his wallet on the table and paid for his food at the cashier's table.

    Throughout Beatrice's journey, she did not even respond when Kendrick asked her to speak. Many things about Regina began to rage in his mind, he did not imagine Regina would be that brave to Kendrick in front of him.

    “ Dear? “ Kendrick shook Beatrice's shoulder slowly, making the woman flutter as their eyes clashed.

    “ Ah yes ? What's up, Ken? “ Beatrice stuttered.

    “ What's wrong with you? “ Ask Kendrick full of telisik. For a moment Beatrice was silent, she was drawing up many questions that she wanted to convey to her husband. But he was afraid, he was afraid that Kendrick would be angry and ruin the happiness he had begun to feel living in him.

    “ Ken, has he always been? “ Beatrice ventured.

    “ It's been a pity, he was like that but even though I never responded to him. “ Kendrick trying to calm Beatrice's heart.

    Beatrice was stunned again, as fear burst into her heart. She fears Kendrick's heart will turn away from her because Regina doesn't stop chasing her. Beatrice is right – is right fearing losing Kendrick, the – man she loves so much.

    Beatrice's livid eyes stared in Kendrick's beautifully sparkling eyeballs at the reflection of the night light. Kendrick only gave a fleeting smile seeing that Beatrice did not stop taking her eyes off her handsome face.

    “ What's up, baby? “ Finally Kendrick opened his voice while gently touching Beatrice's cheek.

    “ I'm just scared, he stole your heart Ken. “ Beatrice grunts with a slumber.

    “ Never will, my heart is already filled by you dear. “ Kendrick pulled Beatrice into his arms and stroked Beatrice's hair softly.
