"Why are you here? Did you also come here because you missed me?" Andi asked with a hug so tight that it made Liliana feel claustrophobic.

💢💢💢

Although she felt claustrophobic, Liliana did not say anything and she could only feel that the man was facing such a severe problem that he seemed so down.

Ting!

Until the elevator warning stops on their destination floor, then the two men release their hugs and Liliana escorted Andi to the man's apartment.

"I have to go now" Liliana said as Andi sat in the living room.

But Andi, she pulled the woman over and hugged Liliana and said, "you haven't answered my question, why are you here?"

"That, I left something in your apartment, so I came to get it" Liliana said.

"Aahh," Andi said in a voice that contained disappointment that made Liliana feel so strange to the man.

"You said today I don't have to accompany you in your apartment, so can I leave now?" Liliana asked who was feeling so uneasy because she wished that night could sleep together with her little girl at home.

But Andi did not want to let the woman go, so Andi tightened his embrace to Liliana.

"No, please accompany me tonight" Andi said, closing her eyes to enjoy her time with Liliana.

While Liliana, the woman was again surprised by Andi, because the man had just said please, but usually the man just ruled.

But not wanting to provoke Andi's anger, Liliana simply obeyed the man, saying, "Then let me make dinner."

"You haven't had dinner yet?" Ask Andi.

"I'll make you dinner" Andi said without waiting for a reply from Liliana and the man then went into the kitchen with Liliana staring at the man's back in great astonishment.

The woman was curious about what happened to the man, about what the man was talking about with his family so that it made him look very different from what he had been before.

But because she felt that thinking about it would not solve the problem, Liliana stood up after the man to the kitchen.

"Let me help you" Liliana said.

"Hm, I need celery" said Andi immediately made Liliana then opened the refrigerator and the woman took celery leaves and cleaned them.

After that, Liliana chopped the celery leaves by occasionally turning to Andi who seemed very focused on her work in the kitchen.

'Should I ask him? But why should I ask?' liliana said in a heart that felt so dilemma to ask the man's problem or just leave it alone.

But after a long silence, Liliana was shocked when suddenly Andi started talking, saying, "What do you think of marriage?"

The sudden question immediately made Liliana stop the movement of her hand holding a knife then she stared at Andi who was also staring at her with dim eyes.

Liliana was silent for a few seconds noticing the man's expression, it seemed that the man was in a big trouble concerning marriage.

"That, I don't think about getting married" Liliana said as she lowered her head to chop the celery leaves in her hands.

Andi who saw the woman did not say anything, but in the heart of the man she felt disappointed with Liliana's answer so that He could only think about the problem in his heart.

There was no longer a conversation between the two people who were cooking in the kitchen, there was only the sound of cooking utensils ringing.
