You are My Soulmate

Afternoon Tea In London

A thin transparent cloud-shaped blob with a silk-like filament look stretched across the blue sky. The light of the sun in the afternoon in London. It is the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and is located along the River Thames. London has been a major settlement for two millennia since it was founded by the Romans in the first century under the name Londinium. The wind blows quite loudly enveloping everyone who does the activity.

These included Agni, Bernard, a bodyguard and the driver of the car who was traveling from Oxford. Time kept turning to accompany their journey by using a jet black BMW car. After taking an hour and a half on the way, the car finally entered a spacious yard after passing through a giant gate that could open automatically. Agni looked at the sight that deeply spoiled both her eyes. A clean expanse of grass, some very beautiful ornamental plants and some flowers decorate the yard of the house.

"Om, who are we going to go to?"

"To the house of one of Om's investors. Om was invited to have tea, o'm delivering a copy of the covenant."

England has a history of drinking tea. In ancient times, the habit of drinking tea in England was popularized by King Charles II and his wife Catherine. Her marriage to Catherine became a turning point in the history of tea in England. Catherine was a Portuguese princess who was also a tea addict. It was his love that made tea the top-class drink of the palace.

The concept of drinking tea in the afternoon emerged in the nineteenth century. The tradition was introduced by Anna Duchess in 1840. Historically, Anna would feel hungry at around four in the afternoon. Dinner at home is served at eight p.m. This leaves a long time lag between lunch and dinner. Anna Duchess asked for a tray of tea, bread and butter to take to her room in the afternoon.

It eventually became a regular habit and he began inviting his friends to join. In the 1880s, high society women changed their clothes with frenzied dresses, complete with gloves and hats to enjoy tea in the afternoon. Until now most people in England do the tradition of drinking tea together.

Soon the car stopped in front of a magnificent staircase. Agni opened the seat belt. Open the car door, then get out of the car. Closing the door of the car he opened. Agni was amazed to see a house in ancient Romanesque style. Agni followed the footsteps of Bernard who was walking towards the entrance of the house while carrying a briefcase. Behind Agni was a bodyguard hired by Bernard.

They climbed some stairs. The main door of the house was open. They were greeted by a middle-aged man wearing a uniform like the uniform of the chief servant in the palace. The middle-aged man smiled politely as he nodded his head at them. They returned the old man's smile.

"Good afteron sir and madam. Mister Edgar was waiting for Mister and Missus on the back porch of the house. Follow me please" said the old man.

It turns out this is my in-laws house.

Inner Agni.

A second later the middle-aged man tilted his body so that they could pass through the main door of the house. The main door of the house was closed by the chief servant after they walked into the lobby of the magnificent house. Agni was flabbergasted to see the unique Victorian decor. The old man walked ahead of them, then guided their footsteps towards the back porch of the house. Explore the house with an English atmosphere in ancient times.

They stopped their footsteps on the balcony of the back of the house facing the garden and swimming pool. On the balcony there is a round table and several sofas that are usually used to drink tea while looking at the beauty of the garden and swimming pool designed in the style of ancient classics, very compatible with the design of the mansion. Both eyes Agni sparkled to see the beauty of the green grass that was combined with various ornamental plants and swimming pools.

Agni turned her gaze to the round table. On the table was a teapot made of silver, a cup plus a coaster made of porcelain, a few small spoons made of silver, smoked salmon sandwiches, gingerbread, quiche, and so on, small plates made of porcelain, wipes and napkins of maroon red color. Edgar stood up when they were already on the balcony. Agni is very happy to feel the afternoon tea in the mansion owned by in-laws and can meet directly with her in-laws.

Bernard extended his right hand to Edgar as he said, "Good afternoon Mr. Edgar."

"Good afternoon too Mr. Bernard" said Edgar, replying to Bernard's right hand, and they shook hands.

"How are you, sir?" bernard said as he let go of his right hand after shaking hands with Edgar.

"Okay, this woman must be my son-in-law" Edgar said kindly, lowering his right hand.

"Yes, sir."

"Good afternoon Papa," said Agni politely, then crucified Edgar's right hand.

"Good afternoon, son, too" said Edgar warmly after Agni crucified Edgar's right hand. "Please sit down" said Edgar kindly while occupying his body on the long sofa.

"How's Miss Elizabeth doing?" bernard said kindly while occupying his body on one of the single sofas.

"As of yesterday, there has been no significant progress" Edgar said. "How's Agni doing?" edgar said kindly while looking at Agni who was sitting opposite him.

"Thank God, Papa, how's it going?" agni said politely.

"good. Please enjoy tea and cakes" said Edgar kindly.

Then they straightened his body and they unfolded the napkin and put it over his thigh. Tea is poured by one of the maids into each cup. Edgar took enough milk and sugar. Edgar lifted the cup, then sipped the tea elegantly. Enjoy the taste of the tea that has a taste and aroma that is so strong with dark brown color. Agni took one of the sandwiches and put it on a cake plate, then ate it. Bernard took the teacup, then sipped the tea once. Some moments of silence, no chatter.

"Do you know what kind of tea this is?" edgar asked as he placed his teacup on the table after drinking his tea.

"Russian caravan," Bernard replied as he placed the teacup on the base.

"Do you still like the tradition of afternoon tea?"

"Still if there's no work schedule."

"What kind of tea do you like to drink?"

"Why do you like this type of tea? What is because it is the most popular type of tea and is often served in the tradition of drinking afternoon tea?"

"Not really. Because I love the flavor mix of black tea leaves and bergamot oil, and it has such a distinctive, sour and shoe flavor."

"The blend of early grey tea flavors produced by The Tea company is more palatable and fitting than any other."

"Yes right. What I heard was that the company was going to be sold for collapse."

"Yes, that's why I want to buy that company. How do you think?"

"I think you bought me, sir, the company's tea sales are on top of the tea sales charts of other companies."

"Well, I'll buy it soon."

"Then who will help you to take care of the company? Don't let it collapse again because it's wrong to choose people to take care of it sir. You see, what I heard about the company was that it was one of the successors of the late Mr. Rudolf who loved to gamble. He always lost in gambling so almost sold his estate assets."

"I wanted to ask Edward to take care of it, but now it's impossible because he's dead. Maybe I'll ask Agni to take care of the company if I graduate college."

Why doesn't everyone believe my feelings. I'm sure Mas Edward is still alive.

Inner Agni.

"How about Agni, do you want to?" bernard asked, looking at Agni.

You are my blood

You are my heart

You are my life, complete me

Oh my dear you are so

Perfect, perfect

You hold my hand when I am weak and fall

You whisper the word, and erase all my regrets

Ringing from Agni's smartphone. Agni opened the resetting of her tote bag. Take his smartphone. View My Aunt's writing on her smartphone screen. Agni smiled politely as she nodded her head at Edgar and Bernard alternately as the code wanted to stay away from them for a while in order to answer the phone call. Edgar and Bernard nodded their heads while smiling kindly. A second later Agni stood up, then stepped her feet slightly away from Edgar and Bernard.

"Good afternoon Auntie, what's up?"

"Good afternoon, dear. Have you arrived in London?"

"Aunty.

"Have you reached Om Bernard's apartment?"

"Not Aunty, now we're having tea together at Papa Edgar's residence."

"You met your in-laws?"

"It turns out Papa Edgar was one of the investors of the Om Bernard company, and Papa Edgar invited us to have tea together."

"You're happy to have tea with your in-laws?"

"I'm happy Auntie, after all, it's the first time I've had afternoon tea in London."
