"How's it?" Francisco asked for an opinion on the chocolate he chose.
Aphrodite fell silent, still chewing the chocolate in her mouth that Francisco had originally chosen for her.
"Enak" he murmured as he continued to chew.
"Then it's not wrong that I have this chocolate," Francisco smiled happily.
"Yes, you're right. Where are we after this?" Aphrodite stared at him.
Right now they were in front of the entrance of the shop. They had just finished buying chocolate and now they were going to go to some other place.
"We're going around this mall. Come on!" Francisco pulled Aphrodite into the elevator. He was about to take her to the next floor so that they could arrive at the place they were headed.
Francisco took Aphrodite to some places that never ceased to interest Aphrodite.
"It's almost lunch time. What if we eat first?" Francisco asked Aphrodite as soon as they finished shopping.
Aphrodite and Francisco were in the hallway with some paper bags in hand. The man stopped while glancing at the clock on his left wrist. The clock had already indicated the time for lunch, and he knew that Aphrodite must be hungry. Especially after they've been around for hours.
"Can. I'm hungry too" he said.
"alright. Then let's go. I know a good restaurant here" Francisco took Aphrodite to one of his favorite restaurants in the mall.
During the long hours with Aphrodite, it seemed that the woman was slowly beginning to feel comforted by everything she did. Seen from his attitude that is currently starting to melt and can begin to forget his sadness.
Francisco takes Aphrodite to an Italian restaurant. He took the woman in and sat down at a table a short distance away from the crowd.
Now they sit on the soft sofa facing each other, in their hands. They held each of the menu books, meanwhile on the edge of the table where they were sitting; a waiter stood and waited for what food they would order.
After ordering, the waiter immediately went from there to prepare their food. Then they waited until their orders came before them.
"What do you think of the streets?" Asked Francisco who was trying to break the silence that has since continued to envelop their togetherness.
Aphrodite who was originally busy looking around instantly turned her gaze on herself there.
"Yes, quite pleasant," he said in a slightly quiet voice.
"Do you like it?"
"Lumayan. At least I can forget a few things."
Francisco smiled at him. He was happy because the plan was going smoothly, and he was happy because Aphrodite was not too tidy anymore when talking to him.
"I'm glad to hear it" Francisco said.
"Yes. And thank you for bringing me here, and for buying me a few things."
"Yes, you're forcing. But what can you do, you just keep carrying the names of my mother and sister," said Aphrodite who seemed a little annoyed.
"Haha. Because if you don't, you won't accept it" Francisco chuckled. Aphrodite only responded by raising her shoulders.
A waiter came to their table with a tray of food they ordered in his hand.
The waiter put all the dishes on the table, then pampered after putting everything in a neat arrangement.
"Let's eat" said Francisco who then grabbed the spoons and forks lying on the left and right side of the plate.
A moment later they began to busy by eating the dishes that were already available in front of each of them. Not a word came from each other's lips. Only the clanking of spoons and forks clashing against each other could be heard at their dining table.
Until finally they finished and put the spoon and fork in their hands on the plate on his desk.
"After this, what if we watch a movie?" Asked Francisco who then grabbed a tissue on his desk. Moaning his wet lips the rest of his drinking water.
"Film?" Beo Aphrodite sipped her drink.
"Yes. Hows it? If it's not wrong there's a new movie being talked about a lot, do you want to watch it with me?"
"As far as you go."
"All right then we're watching. I'll take care of the payment first" Francisco called the waiter there. Ask the bill for the food they order and then make the payment according to the overall amount of food they have eaten.
Finished making the payment, Francisco immediately invited Aphrodite to go from there. He took the woman to watch the film he had originally intended.
Before watching, Francisco bought two tickets first and left their luggage in the daycare locker.
Not to forget also the man bought a snack for them while watching inside, complete with drinks all over.

Helen glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. He is currently in the television room, watching his favorite television show during the day.
"It seems Frans managed to make Aph happy. He did not even give any news," he murmured slowly while returning to focus on watching his favorite show.
He was alone in the house, Aphrodite had obviously gone with Francisco, while Erland. The man is currently busy studying at a place he calls school.
As usual, after finishing all her work as a housewife; Helen always spent her rest time sitting stunned in her armchair. Sit while watching his favorite show while accompanied by a cup of tea, complete with a cake served on a plate.
The middle-aged woman sat down on her feet.
"Ah, I had expected that this would work to make Aphrodite feel better" he said again as he grabbed his sweet cup of tea. He took a small sip, then put it back on the table.
"After this, I just need to devise a plan for Aphrodite to marry Francisco. Because only with Aphrodite agreeing to marry Francisco would the debts I have be paid off very easily. In addition, because Aphrodite is currently not in a relationship with anyone, it will be more likely that Francisco can enter slowly into his heart. Making it melt until finally willing to accept Frans completely," Helen boasted a smile at the thought of all her plans.
