The Journey of Love Alisha

Episode 16's

"I don't like crowds, so that's why I booked a private room" Daren said

"Oh so, yes let's sit down" said Alisha then pulled up her chair and sat there followed by Daren who sat in front of her

"The wind here is quite tight, unlike in the castle" said Alisha opened the conversation at their table

"Yes, but if the castle is more peaceful and peaceful" Daren said in response to Alisha's words

Not long after, the waiter came by bringing two large bowls of ice cream to their table

"Please enjoy the master and the lady" said the waiter, who also put some toppings on the table next to the chocolate ice cream bowl

"Thank you" replied politely Alisha smiling broadly

Unlike Daren who had a flat face, he signaled to the servant to go from there

After the waiter left, Alisha opened a book catalog containing ice cream menus

Suddenly his mouth was slightly agape at the prices emblazoned in the catalog

"What's Alisha doing?" daren asked a little smile at Alisha's funny behavior

"Eating ice cream usually here can cost up to 50 Dollars, how much do you order this? is it very expensive? we better not just go Daren" Alisha said in a whisper

Daren gawked at Alisha's words and laughed

"Why are you laughing? what's so funny?" alisha asked in surprise with Daren laughing

"You, you're the funny Alisha, do you know? out there women always want to shop and shop, but it turns out you're the opposite, you don't like to waste money, it turns out there are still people like you" said Daren stopped his laughter

Alisha rolled her eyeballs lazily

"Listen yes Daren, I don't know how rich you are, but obviously don't waste money on unimportant things, there are still many people out there who do not have money at all, even to eat, they do not have" Alisha explained

Daren smiled faintly in response to Alisha's words

"Yes, I know Alisha, I rarely go out like this, especially just for ice cream, I invite you to eat ice this time actually just want it because it has been a long time since I have not eaten my favorite food" said Daren responded to Alisha

"Good then, yes let's eat, then go for the ice cream again" said Alisha took a bowl of chocolate ice cream

Daren took the ice cream bowl

"What do you want to topping?" alisha asked as she put the topping of the messes and caramel sauce on the ice cream

"Like it with you" said Daren thrusting his plain ice cream

Alisha nodded slowly then put the same topping as hers on Daren's ice cream

"Now, let's eat! bismillahbornrahmanirrahim!" alisha scoops her ice cream and bribes her

"Hmmmm delicious" he murmured praising her ice cream

Daren smiled faintly at Alisha's childish behavior

He was always polite with her and William

"They're not going to grab your ice cream" Daren said as she watched Alisha speed up her meal

Alisha smiled broadly with her mouth full of ice cream she nodded in understanding

After several days of William's departure to Beijing, Alisha and Daren's relationship grew closer

They joke more often and Daren often confides about his work on Alisha

Today, on Monday afternoon, Alisha was sewing her clothes because it was slightly torn on the bottom in almost Daren in the family room

"Daren, your tumben has come home" said Alisha when she saw Daren enter from the front door, she turned her eyes back to the needle and clothes on her lap

Daren did not answer and sat down in front of Alisha while loosening her tie

Can Alisha see that Daren looks very tired coming home from work

"Do you want me to make you some warm tea?" ask Alisha

Daren nodded faintly making Alisha put her clothes aside and rise to her feet towards the kitchen making warm tea for Daren

"A sewing? he sewed his torn clothes? why not buy new?" he muttered in surprise and put Alisha's shirt back where it was

Not long after, Alisha comes with a cup of warm tea for Daren

He sat down in front of Daren and continued sewing

"Rather than sewing your old clothes do not you want to buy a new one" said Daren felt neglected by Alisha because she was busy sewing

Alisha looked at him and smiled slantedly

"I'm not rich like you Daren" Alisha said

"But do you always take your salary? why don't you buy your own needs?"

"The idea is that, but you know for yourself how this New York city, it's very difficult to find Syar'i clothes for me, there are only clothes lacking material" Alisha grumbled

'Oh yes, in this city it is impossible to get clothes suitable for Alisha' he muttered and sipped the warm tea

"What do you make this warm tea wear? how did it get so good?" daren asked, amazed by the taste of Alisha's warm tea that made him want to drink it every day

"With love and compassion" replied Alisha smiling broadly

Deg deg deg

'A...did I not hear wrong?' muttered Daren was surprised by Alisha's reply

Daren was shocked and gawked at Alisha's words earlier

He already did not know as bright as what his cheeks and ears were because he was embarrassed to hear Alisha's answer earlier

"Hahahaha why is your face like Daren boiled shrimp? I'm just joking don't put it in my heart" Alisha laughed

Daren was glued to see Alisha laughing after making her get carried away

'It turns out he was just kidding, I thought he was seriously saying it, but why did I not like to hear him say it like that?' mumbling Daren was feeling a little sad

"You why Daren?" alisha asked to see Daren's face turn sad

"It's okay, I just feel tired" Daren replied a little lethargic, somehow Alisha's speech had cut her heart

"Ooh I think you are sad with my words earlier, sorry yes, do not bring feelings, I was just joking" said Alisha smiling sweetly

He went to his room after finishing sewing his clothes

Leaving Daren who was still sitting faithfully there

'Am I wrong to wish Alisha more? I thought you were serious about what you said earlier, but you were only joking, why does something this trivial make my chest feel tight?' his mumble held his chest
