Thomas enthusiastically chose the clothes he would wear to see Ana tonight, so serious that he had to make her go home sooner than usual. The house was deserted because Soni had returned to the city for a few days. If Soni was easier, her friend would help her choose the right clothes.
Hm Thomas regretted not packing a lot of clothes here. So he only had very few choices of clothes that he would wear to meet Ana. She was excited to go on a date for the first time. Even when he was dating, he wasn't this enthusiastic.
Finally he chose jeans with a white stripe shirt, he complemented his appearance with an ash sweater. Thomas looked at his reflection in the mirror as he rolled up his sleeves.
Clothes, hair now. Thomas thought for a moment, his hair was long, but he wanted his hair to look neat. He then made a little hair hemisphere on the left and combed the rest to the right, he sprayed hair spray to maintain the cool look of his hair.
Lastly, push push push, ssshhh .... Thomas used his favorite perfume. Sip, it looks ready. Stop by the cake shop for a hand.

Unfortunately, Thomas' hopes were dashed by his date. It turns out Ana's house is crowded by many people she does not know. He grimaced, they must have deliberately interrupted his conversation with Ana. But inevitably he had to put on a smile face even though a little irritated.
“Excuse me.. “ said Thomas while going to the page. He saw there were a lot of people here, Edward, Lily, and Adam their son, Evan, two boys about 7 years old, a middle-aged woman, a little girl, another man with his wife and child who is still a toddler. Uh, it's a lot, Thomas murmured.
The children were running, the women were gossiping and the men were grilling fish. Thomas was a little confused, could he not be invited? It was as if he had come to the wrong show.
“Oi, come in Thomas,” replied Edward who was busy baking.
“Where is Ana?” ask Thomas. He entered the courtyard with many bags of cake in both hands.
“Ana is inside, come in!” Answer Lily. Thomas thanked me.
A boy pointed at the cake that Thomas was carrying while whining at his mother. “Mother, I want it..”.
Thomas looked at the boy with a meaningful glare, it was good that I bought everything for Ana, just buy it myself there.
When the boy saw Thomas glaring at him, he immediately cried in fear. “hu....mother....” The boy cried towards his mother, irritating him again his crying was immediately tight, “Cup cup, and, honey! Don't cry later Mama buy it,” said her mother calms.
Adam, who heard the cry of the boy, cried. The atmosphere became chaotic with cries. Evan who saw the incident was certainly not out of thought with the behavior of Thomas, “hei, man! You brought so many cookies why don't you give him, he's just a kid.”
“I bought it for Ana, I don't know what her favorite is so I bought it all, if I give it to this kid one of them, it could be Ana's favorite cake. Let Ana choose it first,” said Thomas did not want to lose.
All present are head bracelets. Thomas is something. Ana heard the sound of crying straight out, so she heard the full extent of what Thomas was saying. Duh, Thomas embarrassed her, Inner Ana.
Ana then walked to the page and spoke to the boy, “Om Thomas just joking, let Aunt Ana who will cut the cake first just shared, how?.”
“Yes aunty, this Om is fierce!” lamented the boy.
“I also want cake aunty Ana,” said another child. The other toddler also looks enthusiastic.
“Alright, wait here, aunt will cut it,” said Ana reassuringly as she gestured for Thomas to follow her.
Thomas with a glowing smile tailed behind Ana. Eventually, he could be together with Ana. Lily who saw the man's behavior was in constant contact, Thomas looked like a man infatuated by love. But even though the man is crazy by love, in contrast to his appearance, Thomas looks very handsome tonight. It must have been the man deliberately and neatly groomed to meet Ana. Just look at Thomas looking upset that we came to interrupt his show. Evan invites Ana's left-right neighbor to enjoy the fresh fish he bought from the fishermen. Unfortunately, it turns out that Ana still does not like the smell of fish even though the pregnancy is that big, as a result Ana only stays at home until the fish is finished roasting.

What is meant by the kitchen by Ana is the corner of the house with a set of dining tables of wood that look old, the paint has faded. There is a concrete table where to put the stove, a plate rack next to the stove that is also old and not much furniture here, there is also a sink on the side of the bathroom to wash dishes, and there is also a sink on the side of the bathroom to wash dishes, everything looks obsolete here. What looks new is only a one-door mini fridge and plastic cabinets. Ana must have just bought it when she moved.
Ana orders Thomas to put the cake on the dining table and he takes the knife from the cupboard.
When Thomas saw Ana carrying a long serrated knife, he immediately panicked. “Whoa... don't hold it, dangerous,” he then took over the bread knife from Ana's hand.
“Yes, come on,” said Ana, why refuse, after all, this man can not be rejected.
Ana takes out one by one the cakes Thomas buys for her, Thomas buys a lot of cakes for her, all looking delicious. There are small size chocolate raspbery cake, cheesecake pie, redvelvet cheesecake, coconut cake, banana cake, rainbow roll cake, all of which are also small in size.
Ana takes the chocolate raspbery cake and instructs Thomas to cut it. “Cut in the middle with two longitudinal slices. A long line like this,” said Ana instructed as she gave the example of cutting the cake with her hands.
“Long line?” thomas asked a little doubt. “Don't we have to cut like this,” Thomas said as he practiced slices from the middle of the exit by forming a triangle directly on the cake.
“Not so. Why did you cut it directly different from my instructions,” Ana said exasperatedly.
Thomas did not care, he instead served the cake he cut for Ana. “I see what you mean but first eat this. It's delicious, try it,” Thomas said as he handed over the cake to Ana. The brown and red of the rasberi form a beautiful line when cut, as if evoking the taste of anyone who sees it. Fortunately, he bought a disposable container to serve this.
Ana a little goiter because by cutting using this way the cake eaten last is not as good as the first. But as soon as he put a mouthful of bread into his mouth, his eyes immediately sparkled at Thomas. “The cake is delicious.”
Thomas smiled sweetly, “of course, I chose the best for you.” He was happy to see Ana smiling, Ana's smile was so sweet to him. “I will cut all the cake, let everyone eat the cake until full. I'll have them take her home if necessary. And for you, I'll bring you a cake every day,” promised Thomas. He then continued to cut the remaining cake by rushing, there were still many cakes that he had to cut.
But unexpectedly, Ana offers him a cake. “You try too,” Ana said while feeding Thomas.
Thomas was a little surprised, but quickly he opened his mouth, he was afraid of losing this golden moment and he finally accepted Ana's bribe. Their eyes met, for a few seconds they both fell silent, as if bewitched by what they had accidentally done.
“Is the cake ready?” said Evan who deliberately followed inside. They were both very long, he was worried something happened to Ana. But just beyond his shadow, he saw Thomas cutting the cake, and Ana was feeding Thomas. He took a deep breath, could it be that Thomas and Ana's relationship had indeed been close before.
Thomas and Ana are of course misbehaved when someone suddenly comes to catch them.
“Aprepared some,” replied Thomas trying to cover up his nervousness, to be honest at this time he was like a teenager who was caught kissing by his parents. “Help me take her out let me finish the rest and catch up later.”
Evan helped Ana bring dishes filled with cake out to the yard, while Thomas was still in the kitchen continuing his work also calmed his heart. His heart seemed to be about to explode because tonight he felt like he was the happiest man.
