Dance stared out the window of the car that picked them up at the airport. He's wailing, figuring out where he really is. Surprisingly he did not see the state flag anywhere. But finally Tari's eyes were wide open and her mouth was perfectly open when she saw the Eiffel Tower standing firmly. Dari looked at Renald who was cool with his tab.
"He took me to paris! Oh my God, he's crazy!"
Dance rests her body and head on the chair. He is still trying to accept the truth.
The car stopped in front of a hotel lobby. Dance read the name of the hotel. The Renald hotel. Dance opened the car door and stood still waiting for Renald who was talking with Alex. Alex went out in the car again somewhere. Renald came to Dari, took his hand and walked into the lobby. A dance? Surprised sure. He was confused and misbehaved by Renald's sudden actions. Arriving in front of the receptionist Renald spoke French which Tari did not know at all.
Not knowing what to do, Tari decides to look around. The hotel decoration is really elegant. Domination of white and pink. The dance takes a few steps to look wider. He really liked the hotel decoration.
"Dance."
Dance turned towards the sound. Renald was already staring at him and hinting at him to follow him. But Dance just bengong on the spot.
"He's... Calling my name? Usually he'll be hey, wait, you. Now, Dance? What's he possessed?"
Renald stopped his steps as soon as he realized Dari was not following him. He turned around and found that Dari was still still in place. Renald exhaled his coarse breath and walked over to him.
"Why stay there?" asked Renald while walking towards Tari. Dance awakens from her daydream.
"Ahh right. Sorry.." Dari stepped closer to Renald. Renald took Tari's hand again and stopped in front of the elevator. Dance released her hand from Renald's grasp.
"I can walk alone."
"really? You didn't even follow me earlier" Renald said without looking at him.
"Ahh it's me-I can walk alone" said Tari quickly.
The tring!
Elevator door opens. Renald again clasped Tari's hand and took her into the elevator. When Tari wanted to protest again, Renald tightened his grip. Make Dance finally let go of her hand.
They reached the top floor. Renald took Tari to a door. But suddenly Tari stopped his steps, making Renald come to stop his steps and turn his head.
"My clothes! I don't bring clothes! Did mister Alfred bring me my clothes too?" ask the Dance who looks panicked.
"No. He didn't bring your clothes. Just a passport and don't call him sir. He's a butler, your status is higher."
Feet Dance limp. "Then how am I? Are we home tomorrow?"
Renald breathed. "We'll be home when I'm done. Clothes can be bought later, okay?"
"Squeaky... This is so weird... Why is his look different? He used to look at me coldly and flatly, but this time his gaze was different."
"Why are you being quiet? Comein. I'm late." Renald pulled Dari's hand slowly into a room.
"Whoaahh." muttered Tari as they entered the room. But his expression changed seeing that there was only one bedroom. "Why just one?"
"There are no other rooms left. Only these. I can't possibly drive out another guest right? They also paid for the room." replied Renald. He opened his coat and went into the bathroom. Of course there isn't. Ted and James booked the room to make Renald sleep in the room with Dance.
"Where should I sleep then?" Dance looked around him.
Renald came out of the bathroom and saw Dari still standing in his place.
"What are you doing there? I have a meeting tonight. You just stay here. Order anything to eat over the phone. You can, right?" ask Renald. Dance nodded. "good. Then I'm leaving."
Renald stepped away leaving Tari alone. The huft! I should what?
...***...
Early in the morning, the dance woke up. He stood on the balcony, enjoying the atmosphere of paris in the morning. He still can't believe he's here. Dance smiled happily. Paris is on the third list of countries she wants to go to. So far he has visited two countries in positions one and two, namely South Korea and the United Kingdom. Although he actually could not travel around in England but at least he could set foot there. And now he's in Paris! Although he was sure he would be lonely here as well but it didn't matter. He was quite happy even though his body was sick from sleeping on the sofa.
A black card was placed on top of the balcony railing right next to it. Dance turned. Renald was standing behind him.
"I told you to keep the card. I know you'll use it again" Renald said.
"I'll-"
"Pay itself? No. gabe. Just wear it." reject Renald.
"I'm actually confused about you. You should be happy I paid for it myself, so you're not going out of money."
"I'm actually confused about you. You should be happy to use my money, so you won't be out of money." Renald replied. Dance grunting.
"Squeaky... This is so weird... I pissed him off but he kept looking at me like that. Not usually. Where did that cold look go?"
Dance cleared her throat, awakening herself. "Am I going to do my own shopping? I don't speak French."
"If you want to go with me, wait a bit bad. I had a meeting this morning, after which I can accompany you."
"Waiting? No, no. I can't wait anymore. It feels like this body has been itching to be bathed." Dance shook her head quickly.
"I'm leaving." Renald is gone.
"What about Alex?" said Dance again. Renald turned. "You can meet by yourself. Let Alex accompany me. I'm sure she can speak French." suggested Tari. Renald walked up to Tari while taking off his suit button. The longer the closer, until only a few inches left. Renald put his hands over the balcony railing, on the right and left of the dance.
"You like to trouble people. Is that your new hobby?" ask Randy.
"But I-" Dance stopped her words.
"Oh? It was cold again!"
Dance distracted by Renald's gaze. He cleared his throat quickly, waking himself up. Dance exhaled her breath and then lowered her head.
"All right, I'll go alone. I have a translator on my phone." said Tari finally. He doesn't want to argue anymore. Especially with such an uncomfortable position.
"Just wait for me here. After the meeting I will accompany you. Hm?"
Dance did not answer. He just looked down. He was really uncomfortable with that position. What's more, Renald's soft-sounding voice. What if he kisses her again? Nah! Don't make!
Renald is gone. This time without turning. Dance breathed a sigh of relief. Finally gone too.
...***...
Dance asks the direction and location of the place to some people through the translator on her phone. He bought some clothes and underwear. In the market of course. He did not want to waste money by shopping expensively. He does not want to be added to his debt. Ughh could have increased his debt. Shudder dance.
After tired of walking, Tari decided to sit in one of the cafes in front of the river. Dance to choose a seat with a small table facing the river.
"Beautiful." muttered Tari. He saw the river in front of him. Dance ordered coffee and Croissant as a snack enjoyed the atmosphere on the river bank.
Dance sipped her coffee and was shocked. Someone was already standing in front of him. Dance raised her head. Renald with a full gaze.
"Hm? How did you know I was here? Did you put a tracking device on me?" Dance searched for something in her bag and pocket. Renald clucked and sat right next to Tari.
"Are you as important as anything until I have to put a tracking device on you?"
"Ahh right too." Dance nodded. They were sitting very close at this moment. Even their arms can touch each other. Dance quickly shifted her seat, away from Renald. But Renald pulled back the Dance chair to sit close to her. The surprised and poorly balanced dance holds on to Renald's thighs. The next second he was shocked to realize where his hand had landed. Dance cursed herself.
"Ma-sorry." said Tari. He was wrong because of that.
"I said it, right? Wait me. Why are you going alone?" Renald put his hand on the table and turned his body to Dance.
"Switchy and sultry. I haven't had a shower since yesterday. Waiting for you too long." replied Tari.
"old? Look, I'm even here with you right now. I don't think it's too long."
"Yes, I'll guess - ahh. Most importantly I've bought my needs." Dance threw away her face. Renald leaned against his body and faced the river again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He opened his phone and checked the incoming messages. Renald frowned.
"What did you buy?" ask Renald.
"Clothes, underwear, some toiletries and make up" answered Dance honestly. Renald looked at Tari.
"You sure? Let me see."
"Are you crazy? Why look at women's clothes? Especially the underwear."
"That's nothing new to me."
Dance realized. "Ahhhhh... Right too." Dance nodded. "But no. No need to look. I obviously bought it."
"alright, fine. Where do you shop, spend that money?" ask Renald.
"Market! Not much money out, right? It's pretty cheap." Dance looks enthusiastic.
Renald took a deep breath and massaged his temple.
"What's? Wh why? Am I using too much money? Then just put it on my debt. I'll replace it. Uhh! Come home from here I'll transfer my debt repayment."
"Are you kidding me? Have you forgotten what country this is? What city is this?" ask Renald.
"City of Love?" dance's answer made Renald look at him meaningfully.
"Other than that?" ask Renald again.
"Hmmm...." Dance seemed to think.
"Paris fashion week!"
" Ahh right! Paris fashion week's. Jesus Marisol wants to see that."
"Ma-Marrisol?" Renald grunting. "Dance, there are many good clothing stores here, why should it be in the market?!"
"No problem? What matters is that you can wear it." Dance in self-defense. Renald grunting. Renald and Tari stared at each other. Renald looked at Dance's lips.
"Damn! Why would I want to kiss her?!"
Renald quickly shifted his eyes. Why me? Damnit damnit!
"Let's go." Renald left the money at the table and grabbed Dance's hand and left.
Along the way Renald did not take off his hand. He decided to walk to his hotel. She knew, Tari wanted to take a walk enjoying the city. So he relented. Along the way, Tari wants to let go of Renald's hand. But Renald didn't let. Dance feels uncomfortable. Although no one knows them but still, it feels strange and uncomfortable.
Later that evening, a dress complete with accessories and shoes came to the room with cards. Dance open the card.
"Wear that dress and get off. Go to the hotel restaurant. There's a banquet with my business partner. I'm waiting at the restaurant."
Dance sighed. There's another formal event. Are these people not tired? Actually, he just wanted to keep his room quiet.
Dance immediately changed clothes with high low dress light brown. The chest and back are closed. Dance wearing long bamboo earrings and white heels. Dance put on her makeup and let her hair down. She was carrying a bag that was in matching color with her dress.
Dari walked towards the restaurant after asking with the hotel clerk. He did not know where the restaurant was. Dance into a restaurant that has been crowded with people. He's looking for Renald.
"Dance."
Dance turned her head and found Renald walking towards her. He was wearing a black suit. His middle-parted hair was neatly combed. He looks very.... Masculine and handsome. Renald stopped right in front of Tari, staring at her up and down. There was a small smile that was barely visible on his face.
Renald gave up his arm so that Tari could drain his arm. They walked to their table. Dance is introduced by many people. Dance acted professionally by acting as Renald's wife.
After dinner, the men began to stand apart from the women. They will continue in the multipurpose room that has been conjured into a casino, billiards and cigarette room specifically for men. Even the married Ted left his wife. But Helena seemed to understand the tradition.
"I'll get together with the men first. If you still want to stay, no problem. If you are tired, go back to the room. Hm?"
Dance nodded. "Hm.."
Renald stared at Tari for a moment and then stood up from his seat. Dance took a long breath.
"Dance." call Renald. Dari turned his head and raised his head because Renald was already standing. Renald suddenly kissed her lips again for a moment then stroked Dance's hair. There was a small smile on Renald's face and Tari saw that. Renald went with another man. Her.... Smile?
