A Couple of Ex
63.

"No problem, this is the perfect place, I can try a lot of Indonesian food there, the parking lot is also perfect, besides I'm used to standing for hours in the operating room, you can still walk right?" 

Alex responded to Stella's question, "what do you mean, of course I can just walk there." Alex said he didn't want to lose.

Stella nods her head, her face looks radiant happy, Alex was fascinated for a moment, since meeting Stella he had never seen an expression like this, beaming happily as when they had run away from the dorm.

They walked in tandem, enjoying the bustling atmosphere of the food festival, the sound of shouting and happy laughter rang out where, they walked a safe distance, he said, but sometimes accidentally Stella's shoulder touches Alex's shoulder because it avoids pedestrians who walk in the opposite direction to them, even Alex sometimes embrace his shoulder when Stella does not pay attention to the road, almost hit some people who were carrying food.

"So what kind of food do you want?" Alex asks when they arrive at the center of the food festival, but Stella has yet to decide what she wants to try.

Stella seems still confused, but his view looks to one of the booths rather crowded, Stella came to the Stand then began to order, but the next second he was confused because he did not have the Rupiah to pay, a few days ago he was shopping in the cafeteria and the hospital cafe using his credit card, but here there is no stand that accepts credit cards.

Realizing that Stella was confused, Alex asked. "What's wrong?" 

Stella smiled awkwardly, "i don't have any Rupiah to pay." Shame answer.

There was something in Alex that felt pinch, Stella's attitude that didn't even want to use her money while shopping, "Can't you let me pay for your food?" Ask Alex coldly.

"I'm sorry I'm not used to treat, I used to pay for everything myself." Answer Stella slowly.

Alex held out a few pieces of red money, but when Stella was about to pick it up, Alex just kept the money away, Stella was surprised, her eyes now looked at Alex, "let's agree on one thing, you order, you order, let me pay, okay?" 

"Eh .. Yes, okay." Answer Stella clumsy. 

Alex handed the money into Stella's hands, "thank you" Stella said cheerfully, and shortly after receiving the money, Stella paid for the food.

Stella had only ordered one serving, it made Alex frown a little, 'why did she only order 1 serving' her grunts irritated.

But unexpectedly, Stella came back to him, she held out a sedok, "why order only one?" Grumpy Alex, now they are sitting opposite on a long bench, a serving of a barrel empal is in front of them.

"Because tonight, I want to taste a lot of food, if I order one serving each I will be full quickly, so I order one serving for both of us," Stella looked at Alex's face, and she looked at me, realizing that there was no answer from Alex Stella, he continued, "but if you object, I'll order another one."

Stella was about to move, but her arm was held back by Alex. "Well .. no problem," Stella sat back down, smiling, "I don't mind, didn't I just say, whatever you want to eat." 

Alex began to eat what was in front of him, because he did not want Stella to feel awkward, hahaha really funny, even in the past he had never eaten together like today, he said, well, in the beginning of the wedding he was too busy, so he did not have the time together like today.

Next Stella again ordered food, and all she ordered was only 1 serving for the two of them, Alex smiled happily while watching Stella from a distance, the woman nimbly ran to and fro to order the food she wanted, so it was not hard 10 portions of food they ate, and for Alex there was no happy moment other than this moment, seeing Stella eat and laugh happily, it turned out to be a lot of fun.

"Aaahhh I'm full" said Stella.

"Well, just that?" 

"Yes .. so full it feels, let's go." Stella pointed to the night market which is also adjacent to the food festival.

Alex stood up, he walked side by side again, their hands swinging in unison with their footsteps, Alex looked down at their hands that seemed reluctant to touch each other, Alex thought, Alex thought, it doesn't matter if she's holding Stella's hand, if she's going to be upset, but it's really weird to be on a date, but they're not even holding hands.

Alex tried to grab Stella's hand, he imagined, it must be warm if their fingers were interlocked, and he became more nervous as the distance of their hands got closer, and they became more and more nervous, but the fingers that he almost reached it suddenly moved, "waaahhhh see it sis, so lively the night market," cried Stella.

Alex smiled awkwardly, 'yeshhh failed deh, that was almost' Alex mend esah upset, but the next second saw Stella laughing happily and seemed enthusiastic, he was also happy.

They continue to walk through the crowded night market, see a lot of knick knacks and various toys sold there, even rides to play folk style, try various games, even back buying small meals to accompany their trip around the night market.

Stella held the popcorn in her left hand, while her right hand was busy feeding the popcorn into her mouth, Alex was very anxious when she saw Stella put a lot of popcorn in her mouth. 

Then without permission, Alex's left hand took over the pop corn from Stella's grasp, he also ventured to hold tightly Stella's left hand, Stella was surprised, there was a sense of awkwardness and thumping when Alex clasped his hand, Stella was about to take it off, but Alex held her back, "hush on, at least I want this to feel like we're on a real date, anyway it feels better, I'll hold the popcorn for you, and you can feed me popcorn, how about it?" 

Stella's face was still confused, but Alex ignored her, he dragged Stella to walk again.

"Aaaaa .. "Alex opened his mouth and thrust pop corn into his grasp, "let alone what you're waiting for" Alex asked impatiently.

Although nervous, Stella finally feeds some popcorn into Alex's mouth.

"You don't eat any more popcorn?" Alex puts popcorn in his left hand.

Stella smiled awkwardly, then fed her the popcorn herself.

Stella felt her hands were now held tightly, Alex's hands still felt warm as before, they walked back and held hands like a real couple.
