The Mystery Red Umbrella
The Feelings of Barrow

Anna is getting ready because soon she and Barrow will be enjoying their night together. I don't know what Barrow was up to, but he knew Barrow had prepared an unexpected surprise. He knew they were going to dinner but it didn't seem like an ordinary dinner.

A black dress was already attached to her body. Anna who is usually dressed casually now looks elegant with a sexy dress that she wears. A beautifully circular necklace around the neck, earrings that were up to the shoulder length beautified its appearance. Her long hair was curled up in such a way and parsed, Anna looked amazing to the point of making Barrow not turn away looking at her appearance.

This was the first time Barrow had seen Anna look like that, Barrow was amazed by her performance tonight. Barrow even walked around Anna to see her different appearance than usual. Anna was so astonished, she hesitated to look like that.

"What's my weird look?" ask Anna.

"No. You look amazing, Anna," praised Barrow.

"really? But why do you see me like that?" Anna looked unconvinced as Barrow saw her endlessly.

"I'm amazed to see how you look, this is the first time I've seen you look like this. You are so amazing!"

"Okay, okay. Don't praise my appearance too much. If there's nothing strange, we'd better get going!" Anna stepped into the bed to pick up the handbag that was on the bed.

"It seems you're impatient!" Barrow tidied up the bow tie he wore before they left.

"Sure, I can't wait to see the surprise you're about to give me. I wish you could make me flutter even a little!"

"Not just a little, I'll make you fall in love with me tonight too!"

"Well, you're really confident. I can't wait to see the surprise you've prepared."

"Let's go!" Barrow gave him his arm, and Anna's hand rolled there.

They immediately came out of the room, Barrow took Anna through a park. Anna was very surprised because they were not heading to the restaurant in the hotel. Even so she did not ask, Anna followed Barrow until they arrived at a gazebo that had been decorated in such a way.

The gazebo is round with a dome-shaped roof. Surrounding it was decorated with white roses, candles were already lit on the table. The candle became a light, a bunch of red roses were already on the table as well.

They will have dinner there while enjoying the view of the sea at night because the gazebo is facing towards the sea. All of it was prepared just for them of course according to Barrow's request but that wasn't all that Barrow had prepared, he had prepared another surprise to make Anna flutter.

"Do you like this place?" ask Barrow.

"Not bad, but your taste is a little ugly" said Anna.

"really?"

"Yes, the white rose was a little tacky but I still liked it," Anna stepped closer and sat on the soft pillow she had provided.

"What about the roses?"

Anna picked up the flowers on the table, the scent of the flowers was inhaled and Anna looked at the beautiful flowers.

"This flower is beautiful but to be honest I prefer bank interest," Anna teased.

"Shanna Baker!" Barrow was a little upset that Anna wasn't serious.

"I'm just kidding, thank you but this melum can make me pound."

"We'll eat before you see another surprise."

"There's still others?" anna asked, her eyes could not be separated from Barrow who also looks handsome tonight.

"Of course, you don't think this is all, do you?"

"Well, let's eat so I can see the other surprises."

"Night's still long, Anna," hopefully no ghosts or anything like that will destroy the atmosphere between them but actually a ghost figure with a terrible face is already near them but Anna pretends not to see because she does not want to destroying the atmosphere let alone Barrow had already painstakingly prepared all that for him.

They ordered the food offered by the restaurant at the hotel, a bottle of wine was definitely accompanying their dinner. Some menus are options that they will enjoy together. As long as the meal had not been served, Anna and Barrow filled the time with conversation. Of course they talk about work. No one discussed the ghost issue because no one wanted to discuss it.

"After returning, where will you be assigned?" ask Anna.

"So, I haven't asked you about this yet, which is why we've been so hard to meet."

"Ck, don't start!" barrow said in an unhappy tone.

Anna chuckled, she didn't mean to but subconsciously their conversation was precisely leading to it.

"What if we stay together, Anna? We'll meet every day if we stay together" Barrow said. Perhaps their relationship is getting closer.

"No!" Anna refuses because she does not want to live with any man without a definite bond or relationship.

"Why? Don't you want us to be together?"

"Not so, I think it's too soon to decide to stay together. We start slowly, if we match, then we will be together later."

"Alright, we enjoy our food first and after that, I want to show you another surprise."

"May this time be thrilling" seduced Anna.

The opening menu has been delivered, they enjoy the food. After the opening menu, another menu is served. Anngur was poured into a glass, the sound of the glass in the shoot rang. The wine was gulped down and they went back to enjoying the food that had been served.

Anna and Barrow still talk about work but sometimes they joke around making them laugh. It was a pleasant evening, and they enjoyed the good food, the wine, and their company that night.

After enjoying all the food, Barrow took Anna to the beach side but Anna's eyes were closed tightly. Both Barrow's hands covered Anna's eyes, and he also led Anna to tread carefully.

"What are you planning, Barrow?" anna asked curiously, she didn't like to have her eyes closed like that.

"Follow it, Anna," Barrow still took her not far from the shore. Anna could even hear the sound of the waves pounding and crashing on the beach.

Their steps stopped, Anna was astonished. Barrow put away his hand that covered Anna's eyes. Anna opened her eyes slowly. The object he saw first was a candle, it lit up and was around him.

Anna turned to look at the shape of the candle, a smile rising on her face as she looked at the heart-shaped candle. He had not expected Barrow to prepare that for himself.

"Anna," Barrow held onto Anna's two hands, they both stared at each other and looked solemn.

"Maybe to you I'm not a special man but to me you're very special. I've been in love with you for so long, being able to be your partner is a fortune to me. Even after returning we don't work together and it will be difficult to meet but I want to have a special relationship with you. I'm serious, maybe I'm not like the guys you know who own companies and private planes because I'm just an agent but would you be my girlfriend?"

"Stupid, am I a materialistic woman? I don't care about any of that because all I need is a loyal man."

"If so you must not refuse because I am a loyal man!" said Barrow.

"I know, I'm also looking for a man who can see ghosts" he now says.

"It's me and you didn't choose wrong!"

"So?" anna's hands were already coiled around her new neck.

"Does that mean you're willing to be my girlfriend?"

"You think, Barrow?"

"Yes!" Barrow shouted in pleasure. He even jumped up and hugged Anna's body. Barrow spun Anna many times to express his excitement.

Anna shouted, it seems that soon the food she had just eaten will be spewed because of Barrrow.

"Stop, Barrow!" shouted Anna.

"Oh, I'm too happy," Barrow lowered Anna's body but did not let go of her embrace, "Thank you for accepting this ordinary me, Anna. I promise I won't disappoint."

"I know but remember, I'm not a person who likes to be in a relationship for too long let alone I have a bad history of dating. If you can stay with me for two weeks, then I'll take you seriously" Anna said as she was always left out after two weeks of dating.

"I can't leave you!" Barrow lifted Anna's chin and kissed her lips, "That's because I'm serious with you" she said.

"I hope so," Anna's eyes were closed, the two of them standing inside a heart-shaped circle of candles while kissing. Barrow was so happy that his feelings for Anna were finally avenged.
