The Girl of Rhein
Cook

They cook together, Hazel looks happy, and she forgets Orlaf waiting for her at home.

Rhine helps Hazel prepare the dishes that have been made.

Not long after Hazel's phone rang, she realized she had forgotten to call and said she was going home late to Orlaf.

"How is this, Rhine? What am I supposed to tell him?"

"Don't answer first, let him call me later and I'll tell you that I'm taking you away for a while to buy some cake."

"But we've been a long time."

Hazel looked puzzled, what would she have to say to Orlaf if Orlaf asked?

"You take it easy let him call me first, if he calls me I'll take care of him."

No sooner had Orlaf contacted Rhine because Hazel's phone wasn't picked up.

"Hello, Orlaf, what's wrong?"

"Rhein, is Hazel with you?"

"Yes, he's with me, but he's in the bathroom."

"Where are you guys?"

"Hazel wanted to buy you a cake, but we stopped for a bit to fill up the gas and Hazel was behind maybe she was in line."

"Oh .. I guess there's nothing because he hasn't been back in a long time."

"Orlaf, I actually forgot to ask your permission. I want to go to Dinda's place and take Hazel, what can I do?"

"Why should I take Hazel?"

"I've got a problem with Dinda and maybe Hazel can help me, if the fellow woman you're talking about might be more understanding."

"Yes that's okay then, but after that you go home immediately."

"You take it easy if Hazel is with me she'll be safe. Well, then I'd like to run my car first and Hazel seems to be out, did I ask to call you?"

"No need, Rhine. I'll just send him a message

"Yes, that's it." They're ending the call."

Hazel still looked scared because she shouldn't have done this to Orlaf, what's more Orlaf's sick at the moment."

"We'd better go back, Rhine, I don't feel good for Orlaf. I always feel guilty if I keep lying to her."

"Hazel, don't you want to tell Orlaf the truth?"

"You don't think about talking about our relationship, Rhine, I don't want to hurt Orlaf, how about we just forget it if we used to have feelings. We become good friends. You're happy with Dinda, and I'm with Orlaf.

"Happy, you say? How can we be happy if we lie to each other and we also lie to our partner Hazel's feelings."

"But I don't want to hurt Orlaf."

"If we explain everything, we won't hurt Orlaf or Dinda. Honestly I have no feelings for Dinda, I just want you to be jealous and you admit all your feelings for me, but I lost. Hazel, believe me, there's nothing we hurt if we're honest with them." Rhine covered Hazel's cheeks.

"I don't know, Rhine."

Rhine brought her face closer to Hazel. She convinces Hazel that she loves him.

"I don't want you to be owned by anyone, I'm like a madman looking for you there, I don't want to lose you, Hazel, I've got you and I'll make you mine."

"No way, Rhine, Orlaf has no right to hurt me."

"If we don't tell him the truth, we'll hurt him forever, Hazel."

"Hazel, I want to give you a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"You come with me for a minute, I'll show you the surprise for you."

Rhine took Hazel to a place in her apartment. There was a small room, and Hazel was invited into the room.

Inside there was only a large plank covered by a white cloth and then Rhine opened the cloth. Hazel's eyes looked surprised at what was in front of her.

A painting of Hazel's face that looks very beautiful, where Hazel smiles looking at the painting.

"Do you like it?" Rhine hugged Hazel from behind.

"Is this you who made it?"

"I made it of course."

"Can you paint?"

"I can do anything, you don't know more than you think."

Hazel approaches the painting and observes it. His hand touched his face gently.

"I didn't think you could make a painting this good."

"This painting will be here and later if we get married, and you want to stay here, this painting I'll add another painting. Anyway I want to paint a lot of your faces."

"Married?"

"Yes, Married."

Hazel was silent for a moment. Rhine kissed Hazel's cheek so that the girl would not daydream.

"There's one more gift for you." Rhine gave Hazel a box.

Hazel opened her gift and it turned out to be a beautiful diamond ring.

Hazel looked at the ring. "What's this, Rhine?"

"This ring is for you. I love you, Hazel. I'm sorry if I made you sad and hurt your feelings so much."

"Don't talk like that, Rhine. I've forgiven all your mistakes even though it was very difficult at first, but how else is my love for you greater than my heartache."

"I want to propose to you to be my wife." Rhine suddenly prostrated himself under Hazel's feet, much to Hazel's surprise and confusion, not knowing what to answer because she was still thinking about Orlaf

"Rhein, why do you have to do this now?" Hazel cried covering her face with both hands.

Why would Rhine have to declare her love and propose to her now? At a time when all the problems with Orlaf were not finished.

Hazel was also afraid that if she accepted Rhine, she would be labeled as ungrateful. It has been helped even make the family who helped became quarrel because it made two brothers become hostile. Hazel won't let that happen.

"Rhein, don't put me in a very confused position like this. I don't want you and Orlaf to be hostile."

"That's not gonna happen, Hazel."

"Are you sure, Rhine? Rhein I don't want your relationship and Orlaf to be bad, even your relationship with your family. I don't want you to get blamed, too, Rhine."

Hazel wept hugging the man she loved so much.

Rhein actually thought about that as well. What's more he'll definitely be dealing with his daddy's anger.

"How about we go home now, and we'll explain everything to my family, and they have to accept all this, Hazel." Rhine tightened his embrace on Hazel.
