The night sky was without stars, only a large round moon was shining. Litha sat down bending her legs up to her chest.
"It turns out the view from the western garden is not only beautiful at dusk but also at night." Litha monologued with a gaze to the moon.
"Dad, can you see me here? I miss you so much."
Right now he misses his father a lot, his place is sheltered and guarded. He remembers when Leon embraced her after winning the science race when she was in 2nd grade High School, her father firmly admonishing Leon, that his daughter could not be treated that way.
'If you are friends then make good friends, don't justify things that shouldn't be under the pretext of good friends'
Since then Leon has maintained a very good attitude, not making physical contact with Litha despite the euphoria of victory is difficult to stem from not touching. Litha too, he was very self-serving, as much as possible no physical contact. Not only was Litha being warned like that but her brother and sister as well.
'No one can respect us but ourselves to begin with. Respect, respect and love yourself before anyone else does.'
His father's advice made him the figure he is today. He loves himself, believes in himself and is confident in his own abilities. Ah, how much he misses his father, misses crying in his father's arms then his father says while stroking his head, 'don't cry, something that doesn't kill you will strengthen you, dear.'
"Dad, I can't take care of myself anymore. I'm worse than Tisha. Sorry Dad..." Her voice is soft. Litha buried her head between her knees.
"I'm sorry, Litha."
Litha raised her face and turned to the side, the origin of the sound source. There is a handsome face of Rayyendra filled with moonlight, looks very beautiful sculptured form perfect from the Creator.
"For you" he again held out a golden box tied with a red ribbon.
"What's this?"
"An apology to you."
Litha frowned in surprise but she still took the box. He opened it and immediately his eyes opened with pleasure. Who is not happy to be given a box of premium chocolate studded with gold powder in each section.
"Sorry for what?"
"Kiss you."
"Where? In the elevator or in your room?"
"You think?" Ray held a smile, he thought about why the woman who became his contract wife was so adorable in his eyes.
"In your room."
"Mahahaha .... " Ray laughed hard.
"Why are you laughing?" litha asked confusedly.
"So the one in the elevator you like?"
Litha's eyes were rounded, an expression that her husband was very fond of. I want to feel like Litha pinned Ray's head off, exasperated.
"Hahahahahahaha..... "
Litha was upset, but Ray immediately persuaded her, "Don't be angry, I want to make peace with you. I'm sorry wherever I'm wrong" he said softly.
Hearing that, Litha's heart that had been upset had now melted away. The man next to her is very complex. He can upset Litha half to death but he can also make Litha's heart melt without form.
"Try it. There was something different in each of the parts" said Ray pointing at the brown in Litha's hand with his eyes.
There were 12 parts of chocolate, Litha took one of the parts, put the chocolate into her mouth at once, waited for a while, a tinge of sour strawberry taste buds in her mouth. Litha tasted longer, really there were pieces of fresh fruit in it.
"This brown is the best chocolate I've ever eaten" exclaimed Litha in delight.
"The sweet taste of chocolate can trigger endorphins to make you feel better."
"Ishhhhhh, those are my words" said Litha, her face slightly pouting.
Ray takes one piece and feeds it into his own mouth.
"Hey, why are you eating? You gave it to me. Tell me what pieces of fruit are in it?" sulk Litha kept her box of chocolates out of her husband's reach.
"Mmmm .. mmm .. I'll make sure this is a piece of kiwi fruit."
"Aaaaaaaaaa .. I wantuu! My favorite kiwi." cried Litha hit Ray on the shoulder, he was still pouting.
"If you like it later I'll buy it again for you. But now I want us to be friends."
"Friends?"
"Yes, if yesterday we were like strangers Grandma brought close to me, I'd make peace with being friends with you, just like you thought I was an apprentice."
"Sister Leon means that?"
"Yes, that's his name. He was your ex in high school?"
"Well!" Litha almost choked on the brown in her throat. He never had a girlfriend during school because his father was very strict guarding his three daughters.
"No. Brother Leon is only a partner to participate in events or school time competitions. If you've got a full cup and a charter of appreciation, I've got one too" Litha said.
"But I didn't see it in your house."
"Mother put all our trophies and awards charters in her room as encouragement against her pain."
"Ooooh.... So he's just a partner? Not someone special?"
"Yes, just a partner but he's special."
"What do you mean special?" ray's tone of voice was slightly elevated.
"Mahaha ... Special because we know each other well, even the father often scolded him like his own son. But between us there was no relationship, so I had a chance to think after meeting him again. I'm gonna set him up with Ninda."
"Ah, it turns out that she wants to match up with Ninda huh. Bon, if you knew, you'd hate my wife even more hahahahahahaha ..." Ray laughed in his heart.
"What are you doing here at night?" ray asked, he no longer cared about his name Leon.
"First every afternoon until sunset, I accompanied Grandma who missed the Great Lord here. Missing is painful."
"Did you miss someone?"
"My father."
"What is she like?"
"Only a warm and affectionate ordinary man."
"Huh?!? Whahuh? Haha ... Yes .. yes .. It looks like you're right, sir."
"Let you consider yourself to be what you are, which my father obviously never made me cry."
"Call me by my name" said Ray. Litha frowned confusedly.
"Don't call Master unless you call him complete, Young Master My Husband. Just call my name, Ray," he said again.
"Why?"
"Kan, we're friends."
"Ah, yes, friends."
I don't know why Litha prefers their relationship like a stranger who slowly knows each other rather than a friendship.
The vegetables sounded a commotion from inside the main house. The name Rayyendra is mentioned over and over again. Ray and Litha rushed inside.
...🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀...
A few hours earlier, though,
"Ray, since when do you have an interest in women? Aren't you just interested in the pile of documents on your desk?" bona said he did not think.
Ray glanced at Bona silently, then smiled to himself.
"Master, Young Madam must be very embarrassed. You kissed her in front of us," Assistant Yan chimed.
"Why should I be ashamed? I'm her husband." Ray answered lightly.
"Mommy fuck. The contract husband means," chirped Bona.
Abyan and Ray look at each other, from where he knows the status of his marriage.
"You two are surprised, I know where. You guys think I'm your best friend not until I find out from Ramona."
"Ooohh..so Ramona's bucket," Abyan murmured softly.
Ray was silent, his thoughts not to Bona but to Litha, then he asked Abyan, "Am I being too outrageous to her, Yan?"
Abyan simply nodded and said, "For Young Madam, Master is very demeaning to her."
"Eat him do not origin nyosor. Kirain persuaded women what simple things?" bathin Bona's.
"He ignited my emotions, but I just wanted to know who the apprentice really was"
"Make it comfortable that he talks to you, he won't mind telling you. Make friends with him." Bona gave advice like an old man who had eaten a lot of salt acid.
Abyan who saw Bona's behavior only shook his head let alone Ray look enthusiastic about what Bona said.
"You're suggesting Ray be friends with his own wife? How strange is the magic bin of your thinking. But Ray was even more strange to take seriously Bona's advice, hahahahaha ... Where are you at school anyway?" Abyan laughed in his heart.
"Sir, buy him something he likes. Something that can be worn or eaten, but at best something you like to eat. Do you know her favorite food?" Abyan interrupts Ray's confiding session to Bona, so that Bona does not suggest more strange things to Ray.
"Mmm ... What is it? I don't know, but Litha once said, if she's in trouble, she needs something as warm and sweet as chocolate milk."
"Believe him chocolate" said Bona.
"This time your advice makes sense, Bon."
"What do you mean, Yan?"
Bona was confused by the sensible suggestion sentence that Abyan had just said. But Abyan didn't care about it, he just said "Master, I know a place to get good chocolate."
Without waiting for long the three of them had already arrived at the place Abyan meant. A small shop run by a married couple in their 50s. Stores that only sell chocolate only make their products based on buyer requests.
"I don't know which one he likes, Yan " whispered Ray.
"I will choose some type of fresh fruit pieces that are included in each section. This chocolate will taste sweet and fresh, Young Madam will definitely love it."
"Ah .. yes, I think he'll like it."
Since this chocolate is made on demand, it should wait 30-45 minutes first. They are welcome to wait on the bench of customers who already have a variety of packaged drinks on the table. Free, the drink is one of the services of the store owner.
Sitting in a circular threesome in a tavern, brings nostalgia to the atmosphere of their American campus. Abyan who took off his assistant mode is so familiar to remember his college days with Ray and Bona. They have not been like this for a long time, telling stories without hesitation and restrictions even the name Ramona called several times.
"Ray, have you been drinking medicine, huh? You're following Abyan's footsteps? Though I made the Amore Club that big because it was motivated from you. So that you have a place where your privacy is guaranteed if you want to have fun."
"Why is your reason as strange as your advice, Bon?" Abyan responds to Bona's question, but Bona still doesn't connect.
"Hahahahahaha .. I have found a new type of drink that is more soothing and able to help me sleep better. I drink it every night before I go to bed."
"Waaaahhhh. What kind of drink is that? Why isn't there at my bar. What club did you get it from, huh?"
Bona does not accept if there is a type of alcoholic drink that is not sold in his nightclub. Abyan was also astonished because Ray had never said before, he just felt that Ray was not wanting to drink.
"Warm brown milk."
"Whaaaatttt?!?" peekik Bona did not believe.
Abyan gawked for a moment then laughed loudly. Cold-hearted man who is respected by all business people in this country drinking warm chocolate milk before going to bed becomes a very tickling thing.
"Yan, since when does he want to drink chocolate milk? You remember the winter of the third year, Ray was angry and not upset when he was ordered warm chocolate milk by Ramona," Bona said still in disbelief.
"Hahahahahaha .. depending on who gave it then," Abyan replied still chuckling.
Ray realizes that he has opened his own disgrace in front of his best friend. Good thing Ray was saved when the shop owner's mother said, "Mr Abyan, the chocolate you ordered is ready,"
"Yan, I took it." Ray immediately stood up from his seat to pick up the actual chocolate it was a self-rescue move.
"Thank you, ma'am," said Ray as he received a beautiful box of red ribbon gold.
"Sir, this chocolate is made by both of us, so eat this chocolate both, even if only one part, so that our love in this chocolate can add to the love between you and your partner," concluded the Mother of Chocolate Shop Owner pretentious and smiling meaningfully.
Ray commented a smile and carried the box with great care like a piece of porcelain that was easily broken.
