Babysitter For Rain
Extra Story: Part 8

Although it was quite day, Marius finally fulfilled his promise to Ana. Just the two, just as Ana wanted.

By car, they visited several places that had once existed in Marius' life story. School, college, where she spends her afternoon, open study, where she hangs out with her friends, and.

"Haha .. You're finally getting married too. I've imagined that once you return to your country, the girl you love is married to someone else. Then you never want to get married. Haha ..."

The tall thin man continued to hug her, but did not stop laughing at her. Marius just stood up without any expression, but simply explained he looked vexed with his words.

Even as the man continued to pat her on the back, Marius still did not return his embrace.

Ana who stood looking at them just laughed at the familiarity. Although Marius did not show it, Ana knew Marius respected him a lot.

"Let me see, who's the girl who can make a Marius wait for years."

The man walked over to Ana, bowing his body so that their height could equal each other. The look on her face that was filled with curiosity, had now turned into flowers.

"Well, of course, of course, she's very pretty. Well, you don't want another girl. Haha ..."

The man then extended his hand. "Hugo's. Just call me Hugo. Ah, you must be surprised because I speak your language. Haha ... Marius taught me. It helps me a lot, because there are a lot of tourists from your country who come here."

Ana returns Hugo's hand. As soon as he took office, Hugo immediately looked very enthusiastic. His smile is getting wider. Their hands kept shaking.

But then, Marius let go. "Not for long. Your guests are getting more and more."

Marius was right, there were many guests who entered after that. Hugo hurried to go to work.

"You sit there. I helped him first. It's lunch hour. This place is always full at this hour" Marius said, folding his sleeves up.

"Is it okay to sit there?" asked Ana. He felt bad about having to sit in a place that should be occupied by the guests who came.

"It's okay. Don'worry. That place is rarely occupied."

And shortly after, Marius was already busy making something in the kitchen.

Ana looked at the corners of the restaurant from where she was sitting. Not a big place, but quite comfortable. Very different from the restaurant Marius who impressed luxurious.

At that time, guests did not stop going in and out. The restaurant waiter also did not stop moving to bring the menu or food orders of the guests. The place was really busy.

Behind the counter there is a small door where the finished food is removed so that it can be carried by the waiter. From there, Ana saw Marius constantly moving in front of the stove. He did not stop looking at her.

It felt quite different from what Ana usually saw when at home. Here, Ana could see how Marius liked this place so much. Although he had to cook non-stop, but fatigue felt nothing to Marius. He is still excited about doing everything. Ana really liked the view she was seeing right now.

From the kitchen door, Ana's gaze turned to the cashier counter. There was plenty of food ready there. But the servants were still busy taking down the orders and also delivering the orders.

"It's a pity that the food gets cold" Ana thought.

Anna finally decided to stand up. He was trying to learn to deliver the food.

Although everything felt confusing at the beginning, but after doing it for quite a while, Ana began to be able to understand everything. The table position, the name of the food, Ana was already almost able to memorize it.

"Luckily today I'm wearing flat shoes" Ana thought.

He did deliberately wear it because he thought he would go a lot today. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be very useful for him when moving between tables that were crowded like people in the restaurant.

It didn't take long for him, everything he did was no longer difficult. It felt so pleasant to him, especially when some guests invited him to chat. Especially when the customer is a local tourist who invites him to speak French. All efforts to learn it so far did not feel in vain.

"Drink first" said Marius, offering Ana a bottle of water that she had opened. Marius finally stopped cooking. Visitors are a little reduced. Therefore, Hugo finished the rest.

"Why take delivery? Let them do it. They can handle it" Marius said afterwards.

From now on, Ana was too busy so it was difficult for her to be able to drink. And that water from Marius, it felt so refreshing in his throat. He even let out a sound of his relief as soon as he finished downing it.

"They're overwhelmed, Marius. Food has not been delivered. It's a pity it gets cold. You guys have been so hard at cooking."

Marius' hand wiped the sweat that came down from Ana's forehead. Although she looked quite tired, but Ana's smile never disappeared from her face.

Ana was always curious, what made Marius so fond of cooking. The man known to the world as the number one person in the business world today can look so different when he holds a frying pan and spatula in his hand. And being in Hugo's place could be the answer Ana really hoped for.

While Marius is cooking in the kitchen for the final group of guests, Hugo sits down with Ana and tells her a story.

"I found Marius when he was 18. At the time, he was fighting with his schoolmates. When I passed it, his opponent was almost battered by it. Then I asked him why they were fighting, why he made me laugh so hard that day."

"He said, 'Because he insulted someone important to me.' He was holding a photo in his hand. Maybe they were fighting over the photo. Because the picture's almost ruined."

"That's a picture of you. Haha ... He was very careful with that photo. Because after that I saw the photo was wrapped neatly, yes. Haha ..."

"Then I brought him here. I told him to work here because I thought he was a bad boy who used to roam the streets. Little by little, I taught him how to cook, and he loved it. And, after all this time, I just found out who her family is. That kid really embarrassed me that time."

Unknowingly, Ana laughed as she recalled Hugo's story. Marius who was currently carrying Ana on his back was astonished by Ana's sudden behavior.

"What's wrong? What's so funny?" said Marius.

The entrance to the house is quite far away. Ana asks Marius to stop her car at the gate. He wanted to be able to chat longer on foot, especially when the scenery in the park was very beautiful with his dim lights. But, Marius was the one who insisted on carrying Ana.

"Say, which photo did you take? Where did it come from?" asked Ana.

"Photo? ... Ah, did he tell you about that? I should have just stitched his mouth."

Ana laughed again. "So, which photo?"

"... photo of your time as a dwarf in your school play ..."

If only Ana could see it, Marius was blushing. Fortunately, Ana was on her back. So, Marius could very well hide it.

"Huh? How can you?" asked Ana again. He can't stop moving. But, Marius remained unwilling to take it down, or Ana would be able to see his face at this moment.

Ana remembers that time she was in 7th grade. He had to replace his friend who was supposed to perform but was unable to come due to illness. Ana was forced to do so even though she had just returned to school because she had just been discharged from the hospital. Because all the children already have their own work, except Ana. However, they find a role where Ana does not have to memorize a long dialogue.

"I was there. Adam brought me."

Ana laughed, then pressed her arms around Marius' neck. "It turns out you were there at that time" said Ana Lirih.

Somehow paint it. At that time Ana did not know. But now that he knew, it felt really hard to believe.

It's hard to imagine something that we've never seen, but it turns out that we've never been far away. Ana felt so loved by Marius.

"How could I be so lucky to be loved by a man like you, Marius?," he said in his heart.

And then, a kiss landed on Marius' cheek quickly. Lastly, Ana bites gently into Marius' ear. Although in minimal light, Ana could see Marius's reddish ears at this time. He giggled then looked at Marius' reaction.

Marius halted his steps, took a deep breath, and held all of his current passions like a volcano ready to erupt.

"Don't lure me, Ana. I know you're exhausted from the restaurant" said Marius.

Ana held a tingling sensation in her stomach looking at Marius who was like that. The man who always looked resolute and full of dignity, now looked so adorable in his eyes. He wanted to keep teasing her.

Ana then approached Marius' ear, and whispered, "Ah, what a pity. Because this afternoon it looks like we're in too much of a hurry."

That's enough. Marius had held him back enough. Ana whispered in her ear like a stream of wind that was blowing slowly all over her body, flowing little by little, but strong enough to push her stifled desire and ask to be let out immediately.

Marius then tightened his hand which was holding Ana's leg. As for Ana, she knew what to do next, she also tightened her grip on Marius' neck.

After taking a swing, Marius now ran with Ana on his back. Ana herself could not stop laughing and ran in Marius' arms.

From her journey, Ana learns something about Marius and his life. And Ana wants to continue that as long as she's with Marius. He just wished there were so many things he could know and would make her love him even more.

"May I still have plenty of time to get all that."
