"Ma femme ne comprend pas le francais," explained Francisco to Adrien, trying to give understanding to him.
(Ma femme ne comprend pas le francais/My wife does not understand French.)
"Oh, je vois.." muttered Adrien in response while nodding her head. He turned to Aphrodite.
(Oh, je vois./ Oh, so.).
"Sorry for making you uncomfortable earlier" Adrien said suddenly, leaving Francisco and Aphrodite stunned. They looked at Adrien.
(Sorry for making you uncomfortable earlier./ Sorry before made you uncomfortable.)
"Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Adrien, I am the person madame Fanny trusted to pick up Mrs and Mr Shankara," he said he reintroduced himself in English which was easier for Aphrodite to understand.
(Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Adrien, I am the person madame Fanny trusted to pick up Mrs and Mr Shankara,/let me re-introduce myself, my name is Adrien, my name is, I was the one who trusted Madame Fanny to pick up the mistress and lord Shankara.)
Aphrodite smiled in response to his words. He was happy that Adrien would understand him who did not understand French and the man was willing to try to communicate with him using English. At least English is better than French.
"Nice to meet you Adrien. My name is Aphrodite" Aphrodite replied.
"Nice to meet you too Mrs" said Adrien.
"Okay Adrien, can you help me?" Francisco asked to switch the conversation. Adrien glanced at him a glance then turned his gaze on the two suitcases there.
"Sure, Mr. I will" said Adrien, who understood the request from Francisco. The man then moved to their suitcase and dragged him to the back of the car to be stored in the trunk of the car.
"Thank you" said Francisco.
"Your welcome Mr" said Adrien, who continues to focus on two suitcases that are now being put in the trunk of the car. Meanwhile, Francisco walked over to the car. Standing in front of the back door opened the door, allowing Aphrodite to enter first.
Aphrodite came in and sat in the back seat, followed by Francisco, who was now sitting right next to her.
After Francisco and Aphrodite sat quietly in the back seat and all the luggage had gone into the trunk, Adrien then moved from where he approached the front door. Sit in the driver's seat and start running the car away from where it is currently. They left Charles de Gaulle airport where they were transiting.

Adrien drives his car at standard speed. Aphrodite, who had looked very tired, was starting to feel better. He began to forget his fatigue after he saw the beautiful view of Paris.
A variety of skyscrapers lined up towered, dotting most of the cityscape. Not infrequently also, Aphrodite saw a beautiful building with architectural style that looks so interesting and unique. Various buildings like European countries decorate their streets.
Aphrodite remembered her memories when she was invited by her father to visit Belgium and Switzerland, enjoy the beauty of the country and go visit some tourist attractions there. And all of that was really fun.
Adrien continued to focus on the streets he was on while Francisco and Aphrodite were busy chatting behind him while talking about many things. Every now and then the two of them pointed towards the building they were passing by. Francisco recounted many of his experiences during his visits to France several times.
Aphrodite, who had been feeling awkward about the situation, was now beginning to feel at ease. Francisco managed to make her feel that they were still within the same boundaries as friends instead of husband and wife.
"It turns out you have a lot of memories, yes, here." murmured Aphrodite who then turned her attention to Francisco beside her.
"Yes, that's. Compared to other countries, Paris more often I visit. Moreover, mama had lived here and had a mansion here, it made me so have many memories in France."
"That's what it looks like."
"Yes. And oh yeah, wait till you get to mama's mansion. There I have more stories to tell you."
"really?"
"Yes. There are so many funny things that I've experienced and so many memories that I've been through in that mansion."
"I can't wait to arrive soon" said Aphrodite.
"In a moment, we will also arrive. The mansion is huge and magnificent. There's a fountain and two swimming pools there."
"really?"
"Yes. You'll see."
"All right," said Aphrodite. He smiled, his focus turning back towards the building that passed by him there. He could not wait to arrive at Fanny's mansion. Upon his arrival, Aphrodite wanted to rest immediately. Because his body still feels sore due to an uncomfortable sleeping position while asleep on the plane, last night.
Francisco was silent, his two beads staring fixedly at the woman who was now sitting next to him. The woman who is now his wife. It was still like a dream when he realized that his status and Aphrodite was now bound in a sacred promise of marriage. It was like a dream for him last night when he married Aphrodite. The woman he loved and admired all this time. The woman who had even made him reluctant to glance at other women was so loving.
Francisco grabbed Aphrodite's hand, then grabbed her. This made Aphrodite surprised and spontaneously turned to him.
Fransisco simply smiled wryly at him without saying a word. He then turned his eyes the other way.
Aphrodite was silent, her eyes now staring at the hand held by Francisco. This was the first time he joined hands with another man after Xavier's departure from his life.
"It still feels like a dream when I realize that I now officially belong to another man, no longer belong to Vier who even left me without saying the word breaking before," Aphrodite said. The next moment he shook his head slowly. He no longer wanted to remember the name, no longer wanted to mention it. Now she is the wife of a Francisco Shankara, and she has no right to remember that name anymore. Their lives are different now. He and Xavier no longer have each other. And the only thing he has to do right now is try to accept reality and accept Francisco in his life.
