I'm still wondering why I didn't accept Javier's invitation. He and his girlfriend, they're not getting married. Two weeks later, he stood in front of me. I was surprised to see him sitting in the restaurant at dinner time.
“Javier, you're here. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?”
“What I'm bothering, I just had dinner. You don't have to accompany me.” A familiar feeling seeing her warm smile made me instantly sit in front of her.
“Not bothering, just shocked. I didn't think you'd come. It's okay I'll accompany you chat.” She seemed to be grateful that I wanted to sit with her, her face looking happy.
“I didn't see Zio,.” He asked about Dad.
“Ohhh he became inspector in other branches. He likes to go around. You didn't come with your girlfriend?” I tried asking what I was thinking after he ordered the menu he wanted.
“Ohh... I decided to part with him?” I don't know what to answer.
“So. Wh why? Um. no-no, I mean, aren't you guys planning a wedding.”I quickly corrected my sentence. I was afraid that I might still want to interfere in his personal affairs. She only smiled faintly at my question and looked at me, a sense of the past felt in her sight.
“I don't know , lately I thought it wasn't him I was looking for. I wasn't sure and hesitant when he forced me to arrange a marriage right away, like something was wrong. We had a lot of fights later and I decided not to continue this.” I was surprised by this news, I think he already wanted a family of his own. But then he backed off.
“Do not put too high expectations, everyone is not perfect, I smile at him.”
“Yes you are right, we are not perfect.” He smiled sadly, not knowing what was on his mind. “You look happy now.”
“I'm ordinary, thank goodness everything's been through. Life is calm as usual, working with the heart, getting good rewards, sometimes chasing something to prove yourself, I think. What else do I expect..”.
“And a loving lover, defending you so much..” He added that it made me laugh.
“It was indeed a pleasant bonus.” He smiled seeing me smile. There is a part of the heart that longs for this kind of talk, sitting quietly, just smiling to understand each other.
“I'm so happy for you.” He was sincere with that word I know. Maybe he lost our company too. People say that when that person disappears, you're gone.
“Later you will find someone who makes you move. Won't be long, who can resist you.” She laughs.
“Ya hope you're right.” If I were perfect for him.
“Vanilla, you ate.” The voice of someone I knew made me turn my head, the oven beside me was standing with a slightly stiff face. It seems because he saw Javier. They never met, but he never saw his picture. Javier stood up to see someone approaching us and called me Vanilla.
“You must be Fabricio Bova. Javier, we finally met, I happened to pass by here, and wanted to stop by. Coincidentally she also exists..” Javier wisely assuaged Bova's suspicions for me. I have to thank you for understanding.
“If so it seems we can have dinner together only.” This oven might be jealous of me sitting down and talking to my ex-husband. He said I had replaced him when I was drunk with Javier's name, plus in Palermo. Once again I mention Javier's name unconsciously like that, it seems that there will be a big problem going on.
“Sure why not.” I called the waiter to order.
“Yes, most of them are in restaurants and hotels. You yourself..”
“I'm in construction, financial and winery, little entertainment business ..” This bova seems to be showing off. This oven is hot with jealousy. This dinner seems to contain a show of achievement. “You have a hotel chain here? You go to Milan often.” He's conducting an interrogation to Javier.
“Iya, I do have a business here. So sometimes every few months I check to Milan.”
“Ohh, it turns out so. Same with Vanilla, you're familiar with the business. Ehh I mean Eliza, she has opened five branches now, this girl knows take advantage of the opportunity in narrowness.”
“You insinuate or praise.” I kept up the words because the oven was talking about me.
“That praises Vanilla dear.” And he added a word of affection behind her. Ownership mark. Javier smiled at us.
“Good for him, I'm glad he can develop what he has here. But he always knew how to run a restaurant properly. He is a qualified executive chef, his management is very good.” I'm happy to be praised by these men now. But it seems that throughout the conversation Bova did not draw a vein as well. I'm pretty glad there's no insinuations here. Peace until the end of the dinner.
“Alright, nice to talk to you again. Next time hopefully we can chat again.”.
“Sure, stop by anytime.” I untyed.
“If you stop by, call me, we can talk about a lot.” Bova regretted it when she was coming back, it seems that her words said ‘don't meet Eliza if there is no me.’
“Good. I'll remember it.’
Javier goes, Oven looks at me with a hot look.
“What he often here.” Now he's starting the interrogation apparently.
“Of course not, from 4 months ago only now is he here again. He lives in Madrid, not in Milan, how can he come here often.” Directly feel threatened apparently with the presence of Javier. He must have seen me with many things passing through his mind.
“Ovenku darling, you don't need to be jealous.” I grimaced wide nudging him. He doesn't seem to be extending it anymore now that I'm back at work receiving some reports from my staff later.
“Vanilla is back with me tonight okay.” I glanced at. Is the problem not finished yet? There's still something he wants to talk about.
“Hmm alright, ..”
On the way he was a little quiet, I didn't care. Javier lives in Milan why he had to torture himself with jealousy. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. I told him anyway I couldn't go back to Javier.
“Sweetie I want to talk, ..” After a while we got home it seems that now he is seriously talking to me. Let's hear what his worries are.
“Hmm, what, anything important?” I sat next to her on her bed, she hugged my waist and took me into her arms.
