Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Candle Light Dinner Ala Xander

At exactly seven o'clock, a taxi stopped in front of a French restaurant about five hundred meters from the Eiffel Tower. Xander took the money out of the wallet, then gave it to the taxi driver.

"Thank you very much, sir. Have a nice evening" said the taxi driver in French. His pair of eyes sparkled happily when he saw Xander giving him some Euro money in a nominal amount.

"Return the love" Xander replied in French. In addition to fluent in English, it turns out that the father of one child is proficient in French so do not be surprised if he does not look the slightest trouble when having to interact with the locals.

Xander got out of the car and circled the four-wheeled vehicle to open the door for his wife. He led Tania down from the car very carefully, not to let his wife fall let alone hurt. The man will never forgive himself if something bad happens to his beloved wife.

"Be careful, honey. Three steps from your current position are five steps up the stairs ahead. So be careful and follow my instructions well." Xander explained Tania in great detail without taking both hands off her shoulders. Tania, who at that time could not see anything because her pair of eyes were covered in black cloth, just nodded obediently, put her ears wide and followed what her beloved husband told her to do.

"Good night, Mr and Mrs. Please, the table you have ordered we have prepared." A man in a servant uniform bowed respectfully to the happy couple. He walked in front of Tania and Xander, showing them the way to where they should go.

Tania and Xander step inside the restaurant. The pianist's piano clink was their first welcome. Ed Sheeran's Perfect song instrument line echoed in all corners of the room making the atmosphere of the theme look so shahdu.

Pulling the chair until there was a creaking sound in the middle of the piano clink from the pianist. Xander attentively helped Tania sit in a chair wrapped in white satin. In the middle there is a pink ribbon, the favorite color of the beloved wife.

Xander stood behind Tania and said, "I'll open this blindfold now. However, you can't open your eyes before I give the order. Don't even try to peek at it! If you try to break what I tell you, then be prepared to accept the punishment."

Tania shuddered at the threatening words from Xander. I can guess what the punishment is if he violates the orders of the husband.

Taking a deep breath, Tania replied, "Yes, I promise I won't open my eyes until you tell me to open them yourself."

Xander smiled with satisfaction as Tania complied. The burly hand began to untie the blindfold of the woman. Slowly, the black cloth that had covered a pair of beloved wife's netra began to fall apart to show the owner's eyelashes slanted eyes.

"On the count of three, you can open your eyes. One ... two .. and .. three ...."

Then Tania slowly moved her plump eyelashes, her eyelids slowly opening. First opening his eyes, he saw the room where he was currently in a dim state, no lights that light up just rely on the candlelight placed on the table and that neatly arranged to form a heart around the chair where they are sitting at the moment. Fresh red rose petals arranged neatly on the outskirts of the row of candles make the room emit a fresh aroma typical of roses.

Tania's voice was stuck in her throat. The woman's palm closed her mouth. He was speechless, this surprise was very romantic.

"Xander .. This is beautiful. I-" Tania was unable to stretch out her sentence. His narrow eyes began to glaze over, there was a feeling of shouldering wrapped in a sense of happiness rising within the woman. How not, tonight Xander prepared a candle light dinner specifically for the two of them.

Tania smiled, her eyes unwilling to escape the beautiful scenery ahead. "Like, very fond. Thank you, honey, for preparing a special dinner tonight. I'm so happy." Tania was completely moved to the point of unknowingly dripping happy tears slid between her two thin cheeks.

Xander grabbed Tania's fingers, squeezing them gently. "You deserve all this, Nia. When I was dating until we got married, I rarely prepared surprises like this. When God gives me a second chance, I promise myself that I will try to make you and our son Arsenio happy."

"Make my effort to make you happy this way, preparing a special surprise for the special woman in my life. Tania, my dear, thank you for taking me back. I ... love you, Nia. Very ... love you very much."

"I love you so much too, Xander. From the past, now and in the future, you're all I've loved." Then Tania ventured to kiss her husband's lips. Without the slightest shame, he expressed his love in a different way. And that makes Xander even happier as her Tania becomes more aggressive in their second marriage.

Soon a waiter pushed the food trolley into a quiet, quiet room. Two plates containing smoked salmon canapes and vol au vent were on top of the trolley. Both meals are French appetizers that have been prepared specifically by the waiters of the restaurant.

The newlyweds looked at each other, throwing smiles at each other, enduring the turmoil within the chest. Then reach for the glass on the dining table, then put the two objects together until a loud sound is heard. Because they do not consume alcohol, the long-shaped glass is filled with water that is much more healthy for the human body.

Xander grabs the spoon and feeds the vol au vent into the mouth. "Oh yeah, this afternoon Papa called me on a job. Before he ends the conversation, he sends you a greeting. He also told me that you should be diligent in taking vitamins, not until your honeymoon falls ill."

Tania's originally cheerful face turned moody. Sighing a long breath as if he was releasing a heavy burden on his shoulders. "By the way about Papa, I remember our son. What is he doing now? Has he eaten? Is Surti taking good care of my son?" A look of anxiety flashed on her beautiful face.

This is a temporary farewell to both Tania and Arsenio. First when Tania was assigned to Kalimantan to take care of the project there and the second at this time, when she went on her honeymoon with her husband. Traveling around several countries, enjoying his friendship with the man he loved so much.

"I'm sure, Surti takes good care of Arsen. You don't have to worry about our son's condition because my mama is watching my hero." Xander again grabbed Tania's fingers, rubbing the back of the hand gently.

"We're not supposed to be on our honeymoon for a month, Xander. One or two weeks, I think it's enough for us to have fun."

Xander sighed softly. I don't know how many times they've argued for the same issue. "Darling, didn't we ever talk about it then why are you bringing it up again now, hem? The honeymoon decision wasn't entirely my fault, but there was a share of both my parents and Aunt Amanda and Cleo in it so you can't just blame me, you know."

"Again, there's no harm if we go on a honeymoon for a month. Consider it a replacement because we used to be separated. Then for Arsen's business, just leave it to Surti and Mama, they must take care and take care of our love fruit well. I'm sure our son will be fine as long as he's under my mother's watch."

Tania nodded. He never doubted Miranda's ability to care for young children. The proof is that Xander grew up to be a good man, understanding and full of responsibility. It was founded by Miranda Vincent Pramono.
