Finished with the business of fitting clothes and wedding rings, Nathan decided to take Widya to lunch at the food court located on the third floor in the same mall.
Overexcited by the choice of eye-catching jewelry, the two almost missed lunch time. Do not want the events some time ago repeated, they have to take extra care of health. There is only a month left for their wedding.
Two medium-sized hot plate steaks plus chunks of french fries as well as slices of carrots, chickpeas, tomatoes and lettuce equipped with brown sauce are readily available at the table after waiting for fifteen minutes.
Beside it there is a side dish as a steak companion menu. Mashes Potato was Nathan's choice. It's not without reason that Nathan chose this menu. He used to be sick because he lost his appetite or rather he deliberately tortured himself because of his guilt towards Widya at that time, making his endurance weakened. Therefore, the intake of carbohydrates in sufficient quantities makes Nathan maintain his health.
While Widya chose creamy spinach as a side dish, a vegetable menu that has been mixed with cheese or cooking cream with the addition of garlic and pepper adds a delicious taste so that it feels dainty on the tongue.
The two ate in an orderly manner and had a little light conversation. Nathan is not his name, if eating with orderly and calm it lasts a long time, he will again give the impression of sweet every with Widya. Sometimes he offered a bribe of potato mashes to Widya. Widya who was flattered also now did not hesitate to do the same thing.
“Actually I'm the laziest eating vegetables, darling,” Nathan said.
“Why? Vegetables are an important intake for our body, Which,” explains Widya, “Also very good for our skin and that definitely makes our body healthy." Widya again chews soft creamy spinach his favorite.
“Oh, pantes, your skin is good. Looks fresh. So want too,” cetus Nathan while chuckling.
“What option?” hardik Widya's.
“Ya .. that, want to have good skin also like you, Yang. But, what a pity it feels a bit strange.” Nathan pinched Widya's chin. “But if the one who feeds you it feels different,” said Nathan and got a sharp glance from Widya. Even so, Nathan became chuckled at it.
“Think macem-macem sure,” hardik Widya.
“No macem-macem, The. Just one macem doang.”
“What?”
“Ya .. we feel like a kiss is possible,” stutters Nathan while smiling wily.
Widya almost forgot about it. “Share feed on the same spoon. Doesn't it look like it's sharing the same place?” ask Widya in heart.
Of course it certainly makes both cheeks Widya meet red. So he turned his face away from being seen by Nathan.
“Honey, don't be!” Nathan tried to grab Widya's chin. However, it only hung in the air.
Widya then immediately turned back to Nathan. ”How is that?” ask Widya.
“Do not be shy like that again!” sigh Nathan.
“Means?”
“Yang, please don't be so innocent like this! I want to be the only person entitled to you.” Nathan's words begin to fall apart.
Blusha!
Widya soon realized what Nathan had meant. Then as much as possible he controlled the look of his face back.
"Ah, we'd better get home soon, yeah. If we want to continue to find souvenirs it might be too late.” Widya deliberately diverted the conversation to escape the conversation that made her face meet.
Without many more words, Nathan simply nodded with a deep smile.
...*** ...
A week passed, both of them still with their jobs and busyness. In between the work of Nathan and Widya, they occasionally reply to messages just to maintain communication in the midst of the busy schedule of each.
Widya's skill in negotiating makes her often appointed as the trustee of the marketing division. Even Widya has been promoted by the company's directors to become marketing managers starting today. Truly an incredible achievement. He fought from zero. He was determined to test his abilities.
Behind the cubicle of a beautiful girl who is increasingly graceful as she ages—Widya again completed a project market proposal to her manager.
“Finish!" senggakan. He then prepared to bring the pile of his designs to the manager's room. It was as if luck was approaching Widya. The new project was accepted and received ACC directly from the manager and director.
“Good, Widya. Tomorrow you should be ready to present what you are proposing today. It just so happened that the Director had given direct permission. And tomorrow is your job to convince your project to the manager of another division.”
“Good, Sir. Then I'm sorry.”
...***...
And Nathan as well. His work in charge of managing the workings of various other entities involved in the project always went smoothly. As an expert, Nathan conducts surveillance from start to finish. So that the project can run according to or faster than schedule and within budget.
The offer to run the family company with his father he subtly refused. Instead of wanting to test the ability in other companies without the frills of the family into his choice from the beginning. Likewise with the offer from Zacky, he again gave the same reason.
“How can I know my ability if there is still a shadow of you or papa, Bang?” nathan's pretext when he and Zacky were chatting casually by the pool at that time. The main reason is to always be close to Widya.
“Gue always salute your thoughts, Nath. Just, baby. Your ingenuity should be poured to raise the company of others.” Zacky was still trying to persuade at the time.
Ahead of noon, the notification on his phone caught his attention. A smile rises when he opens a reply message from Widya to meet with the wedding organizer related to the selection of her wedding souvenirs.
As if getting an injection of spirit from his soulmate, Nathan hastened to finish his job faster.
...*** ...
“We are very compact yes, Yang. Can clean up the work before the return hour as usual.” Nathan clasped Widya's hand sitting next to his wheel.
They decided to meet the WO party to discuss the preparation of souvenirs that still have not reached an agreement because of their respective activities.
This is where now, Nathan and Widya are faced with two WO parties who since then still offer a variety of souvenir options. Make both of them maintain their respective choices.
“Honey, come on! Isn't this very sweet, a pair of spoons and forks that symbolize complement each other.” Widya thrust out a box with a spoon and fork in it.
“Now, Honey. This time I want to choose this.” Nathan turned a transparent box containing one cactus in a pot. “You know this cactus philosophy?” ask Nathan.
Widya just glanced at the object held by Nathan. However, he was also curious about Nathan's desire to still choose the object.
“Cactus is a plant that lives in hot areas. Therefore, the philosophy of cactus as a plant that is strong and independent although not considered special. Cactus can survive. Even in the hot sun or even a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert.” Nathan smiled proudly as he could reveal the beauty of God's creation.
While the two WO parties can only glance at each other at a pair of prospective brides who are maintaining their respective desires.
“Try, deh, Darling. If one of these cutlery is missing, we can eat another way, right? Well, while the cactus wants to rain, it wants to be hot all year, it stays alive and stands tall. I want our souvenirs to be a symbol of living things. Not dead things. Even if we can, we can order for the cactus that is still alive.” Nathan stared at Widya gently so that his future wife could be crushed.
“Not so, ‘kan, Mbak?” nathan asked the two WO emissaries. He deliberately sought support in order to convince Widya.
The WO side nodded steadily confirming Nathan's speech. Widya who lost support finally nodded her head after Nathan. Sign approves of the decision this time.
Nathan who looked happy pinched the second squash of Widya's cheeks. Making Widya round her eyes, a little annoyed. Not because of Nathan's treatment, but in front of him there is still a WO side that pays attention to both.
