The Marrying Bet

Dinner Together

Viceroy leads Vara down the yard. His eyes were still covered in tie ties, Viceroy did not allow Vara to peek at the surprise he had prepared. 

"Sit down" whispered Viceroy.

Vara immediately sat down on the chair, wondering what surprise Viceroy had prepared. Slowly Viceroy took off the tie that covered Vara's eyes. Vara was shocked and could not believe what she saw. The grounds of the house are decorated with small lights flashing like a sprinkling of stars in the sky. On the round table with white tablecloth, decorated with white and yellow chrysanthemum flowers in the middle of the table with lit candles. 

Vara could not help but hold her smile. What a romantic surprise from a Viceroy. Various types of food have been arranged to meet the round table.

"Viceroy, did you prepare all this?" ask Vara in wonder.

"Of course," replied Viceroy with a gentle smile. 

Vara hugged Viceroy.

"Thank you, Viceroy, this is so beautiful" Vara said.

Viceroy kissed Vara's head.

"Let's eat, I'm already hungry" Viceroy said.

Vara is constantly smiling, and is thrilled to be able to enjoy such a private and romantic dinner. All this time Vara could only imagine someday going to a romantic dinner in the moonlight. Who would have thought that Viceroy would make it happen? 

Viceroy is a man full of surprises.

"Vara, have you ever heard this song?" viceroy asked to play a song from his phone.

"What's title?" ask Vara.

"La vie en rose" replied Viceroy.

Vara was stunned again, hearing a song that made the atmosphere more romantic. 

"What do you think?" ask Viceroy.

"Hearing this song, I wanted to dance" Vara replied, laughing.

"I just saw it in the movie," Vara replied blushing in embarrassment.

Viceroy smiled, he stretched out his hand and invited Vara to dance. Viceroy hugged Vara's waist, they looked at each other, and began to step into the rhythm of the English and French songs.

"What are you thinking?" ask Viceroy.

"You're like a prince in Cinderella" Vara replied.

Viceroy laughed, he looked at Vara who was still unceasingly smiling sumringah. What a charming smile Viceroy. The smile that the man had always wanted to see. A smile that rattled his entire soul and body. He really wanted to keep that smile forever and only for her.

"Through twelve o'clock at night, am I going to turn into a rat?" viceroy asked, still smiling.

Now it's Vara's turn to laugh, Viceroy is a man with a unique sense of humor.

"Vara, are you happy living with me?" ask Viceroy.

"As long as I'm alive, I feel happiest when I'm with you" Vara replied with a red face.

"Vara, are you ready to accept me for who I am?" ask Viceroy.

"What do you mean, Viceroy?" ask Vara.

"You must know that I'm not a highly educated man, with a special background that makes you or your family proud of me" Viceroy said.

"Viceroy, really I don't care about it, for me the background is not important, the most important thing is a good attitude," said Vara.

Viceroy smiled, wanting to kiss Vara, but being held back, he didn't want to lose control of her. He did not want Vara to think it was just carried away.

Vara poked both hands around Viceroy's neck and ventured to kiss the man.

"Let's go back to eating, there is still a lot of food to be spent, really redundant if not wiped clean," asked Viceroy.
