“Miss, Mr. Joshua wants to meet you.”
Kania stopped his activities. He took off the glasses perched on his nose. “Ada scheduled me?”
“No, Miss. He said it's an ordinary meeting,” replied the Princess.
Kania nodded. “Good. Tell him to come in.”
Joshua went into Kania's room. Looks like the man was just wearing a shirt without a neat suit. Joshua carries a bag that Kania does not know what it contains.
“Is there anything important that got you all the way here?” Kania moved from her seat.
Joshua lifted the black paper bag that was in his hand. “Lunch.”
“Joshua. You don't have to bother doing it.” Kania.
“I'm not the one who bothered. But Mommyku—he even came to my office with lunch and told me to go to your office and hand it over to you.”
Kania surprised. “Aunty Jennifer did it?”
Joshua nodded. “If I don't want—Mommy will make a fuss in my office. Than rib—better I came here.” He looked at Kania. “You've eaten?” observe Kania more deeply. “Seems not.”
“As you can see. You know exactly—people like us often forget to eat to work.” Kania took a seat in front of Joshua.
Joshua opened the box that his parents had made.
“You know? We are equally tormented by the behavior of our parents. So let's both reject them,” said Kania.
Joshua just nodded. “Eat first—Kania. I'm hungry.”
“Alright.”
They eat occasionally accompanied by small talk about work.
“The first time I entered your room. It turned out pretty wide.”
Kanita laughed softly. “That certainly isn't as wide as Viction.”
“That's for sure,” reply Joshua.
Their eating is done. Kania rubbed the tissue to the corner of her lips.
“Taste Aunty very good,” praise Kania. He had not eaten home cooking for a long time. Usually he cooks more often, more often buy junk food.
Joshua replied with a nod.
“About the talk earlier. I'm serious, about us having to stop our parents. I don't want to keep going like this. You must also be willing to be betrothed to me,” said Kania.
“Not completely.” Joshua smiled. “Because you're my friend. I don't feel uncomfortable when I'm close to my friend. Maybe you are uncomfortable because you already have a lover while I have not.”
Kania was silent for a moment. “My relationship wasn't messing with Drake. I'd love to introduce Drake to my parents,” honest Kania.
“It's good. Your parents could know Drake and stop this drama.” Joshua looked at Kania. “Don't look at me like that. You made me feel rejected when I wasn't.”
Kania shakes. “No-no. I just feel bad about you. Because of my parents you also suffered.”
Joshua's risen. Put both hands in your pocket. “I told you not completely—Kania.” Then turn—walk. At the door Joshua stopped. “You can leave it, right?”
“What?”
Joshua's chin pointed to the lunch that had been exhausted only the place left.
“Yes I'll take care of it. You can go quietly.”
“See you.”

Kania rushed into the arms of the man who had been waiting for her a few minutes ago. Kania goes into the coat Drake uses. Looping her two tiny hands to the man's waist.
“I twinging.”
“Who told me to wear clothes less material?”
“This is fashion.” Kania took off her embrace. “Skirt short and blazer crop is the perfect combination of my fashion. I have to look stylish.”
“Ya-ya up to Kania.” Drake opened the door.
“Are you angry?”
Drake nodded. “I'm angry you will still wear clothes that I don't like. In addition to resignation I will also learn to give up.”
Kania laughed giving both her thumbs. “You actually got four thumbs. But my big toe was covered in shoes. So I'll give it to you when we get to Penthouse.” He goes inside immediately.
“For a long time I was upset too,” Drake said.
The car is running.
“So lunch you ate?”
“Tumben once.”
Kania looked at Drake from the side. “Y-ya from now on I will try to take care of my own health.”
“Good.” One of Drake's hands raised rubbed the top of Kania's head.
“This is not the way home. Where are we going?” kania asked in surprise because Drake took a different path than usual.
“Monthly shopping. We've never done it.”
After hearing Drake's words. Kania immediately searches for something in the car dashbord. “You brought a mask?”
“No need.”
“Hopi?”
“No need—Kania.”
“I'll show you our relationship in public.”
“Drake..” Ogre Kania. “You've thought about the consequences? What if they don't accept it? And what if it makes a bad impact on you?”
“No will.”
“Drake—you don't need to do it. I'm afraid I brought your name to ugly.”
Drake pulled the car over. “Personation with everything—Kania. I don't care about anything to keep you by my side. I did it so that no one would dare hurt you. Especially the guys out there who are trying to like you.”
Drake cupped Kania's face. “Are you ashamed?”
“I'm not ashamed.” Kania shakes. “Do what you want to do. I won't try to stop you again.”
Drake smile. Smear both cheeks Kania alternately. “I love you.”
“I lo... I like you.”
“Not I like you. say again—babe.”
Kania laughs. “I love you too.”
They have arrived at the market. Drake took the scarf and wrapped it around Kania's neck. The white scarf is perfect for Kania. Looks cute and funny. Drake holds Kania's hand as he enters the Market.
Drake took the shopping cart and pushed it. They're on the meat shelf. Kania take meat with high quality. Let it. Once spent Drake's money. Like the word in Drama. “Gwenchanayo.”
The people who were initially indifferent—kini slowly looked at them. Not many recognize them. There must be some people talking about them.
“That's Drake. Who is she with? Looks like her lover.”
“Crazy. Her boyfriend is more beautiful than an actress. Drake chose it. See her skin is so clean and smooth.”
“I heard he's a Skincare business owner. Worth the skin glowing and shiny.”
“Their high difference makes me envious.”
“Drake getting handsome. They really are the perfect couple.”
Drake smiled faintly at the compliments people had towards him and Kania. “They bless us.” Drake looked down and whispered.
“Really?”
Though from the beginning of Kania who fretted how later if it became the center of attention of people. But in fact when it happened—Kania was busier and more indifferent than Drake. Kania even fully focused on sorting out Tomatoes that were the size of one fist rather than listening to the comments of others.
“Tomat here very good.” Kania put the tomatoes in the basket. “We have to come here again—Drake.”
“Iya.” Drake's Passage.
Unknowingly Kania pulls Drake's hand to move to another shelf. Both of them chose potatoes.
“Padahan Potatoes are good people who feel ugly equate themselves with Potatoes?”
Drake held up one potato. “This potato is ugly. There were stains on his skin. It is like a human being who does not take care of themselves. Potatoes are an icon for people who feel less confident. This is my point of view. Nothing is added or reduced. Someone will be offended I was attacked.”
Kania nodded. “Your story is good. But I don't understand.”
“Gosh. Free I'm clearin long-length.”
Kania laughs. “Ngerti kok ngerti.”
“Good deh.”
“But just a little bit,” he continued.
Drake shuffled Kania's hair slowly. It's not Kania who is a baper but even unstable teenagers around them.
“He who scrambled his hair. But my heart is a mess. Well, bang Drake, make me your interlude bang.”
“Fix inismah my ship. Don't forget the photo. As proof of meeting seleb.”
“Inpo cheap cost on Mars. The earth belongs to both of them.”
