Satria and Destiny

chapter 6

Just walking around town, then shopping at cheap street food alone made Andira happy as long as she was with her lover.

The only child of the owner of one of the big companies in the Metropolitan City is not as demanding as most of the other rich kids.

Her lifestyle is also very low, the important thing is with his beloved, wherever and what he eats he won't have a problem.

Like now, the two of them were sitting on a chair on the side of the road, in front of the tofu cart.

"Tofu mixes the two, yes, Mr!"

"Okay, Sir. Immediately executed," replied the seller from behind his cart.

Andira saw that the mixed tofu seller was still the same age as them. She was very happy to see independent young people, just like her boyfriend.  Meanwhile, she herself could not carry out more activities as she wanted because she would not get permission from the head of her family who was strict enough.

Just taking care of her mother's boutique which became an escape so she wouldn't get bored at home.

"Do you use both eggs or just one, sir?"

"Both of them," replied Satria quickly.

"it's for the first time, usually the only one who uses eggs."

Apparently Satria has become a loyal customer there to the extent that the tofu man knows his order by heart. Satria chuckled at the tofu man's greeting.

"Yes, Mr. It's different people."

It was easy for Satria to reply, making Andira glare demanding an explanation.

"Different people? Who do you usually bring here, Dear?"

Hearing his lover's question, Satria smiled. He knew his lover must be overthinking because of what he said earlier.

"Do you want to know or do you really want to know?"

Instead of directly answering his girlfriend's question, Satria gave another question.

"Very well!"

"Hahahah, yes, yes. Come here, I'll whisper." Satria coded with his hand for Andira to come closer.

The girl complied, she put her ear towards her lover.

"I often stop by here with Galang, my best friend."

"Hahahaha, gosh, who do I think," chuckled the girl. Even though she had previously prepared to carry out a second world war in her relationship.

"Hahahaha, you guys, don't be so negative thinking to me."

"Hehe, sorry, Dear. It's your fault anyway."

Usually, girls do not want to lose.

"Huh? Why me? What's wrong with you, hmm?" Satria squinted, he thought about where he went wrong.

"I really want to come here, even though I really like to know this food! In fact, you invited mr Galang. Why don't you just go out with Galang, hmm?"

Ask innocently without any sense of guilt.

"Yeeee, darling, ugh! You still know normally. You're like that, you're abroad, there's only Galang, so I've invited him here while he often rents out. If you asked me yesterday, you would immediately fly to Indonesia, right?"

"Hahahah, well not really, Dear. Now relax, don't be angry. Besides, my handsome boyfriend is just for Andira alone, how can he be with mr Galang, heheheh...."

Lucky the food man came soon so that their debate was postponed first.

"Honey," he called softly.

"Hmmm?" Andira replied while looking at her lover who was also staring at her until their eyes met.

Eyes that both have curly eyelashes that fascinate many people.

"Sorry, yes, I can only take it to a place like this first."

"Oh, honey, why is that? You're usually like this? What's wrong with you?"

"No, I just thinking about it, as long as we're dating, I've never asked you to have a romantic dinner like other people. I'm sure you also want to be like your other friends, who can have a romantic dinner at..."

"Ah, Dear, it's not fun to talk about that. You guessed wrong if you thought I was jealous of something like that. I'm so grateful to be able to go out alone like this with you. Wherever you go, as long as with you . Which friend of mine should I envy anyway? Tania? Hahaha, Dear, you know that she doesn't have a boyfriend again. They broke up with yesterday."

Andira showed a sweet smile, she touched Satria's hand whose eyes were still staring intently.

"I don't want you to be insecure like this again. That really wowed me, so don't ever be insecure again, I don't like you to compare yourself to other people. Hmm, instead of having a romantic dinner, it's better to just save the money for our wedding preparation, it's more useful than wasting money in that way, because eating on the roadside together is already very beautiful for me."

A smile appeared on Satria's lips. Always his lover is able to make him lose his disbelief in himself.

"Okay, thank you, honey. Thank you for understanding my situation. Thank you for being the best part of life's storyline. I'm grateful to have you."  Satria said while holding Andira's hand that was above his arm with one hand.

"You have to promise me that you won't be insecure-insecure anymore?" Andira raised her pinky finger for Satria to reply.

Satria smiled then linked them together, "Promise."

"Well, that's it. This is the new Mr Satria that I know."

Both of them smiled happily. Satria is really grateful to have this girl. Beautiful girl, cute, funny, kind and low profile, really perfect in his eyes.

However, he must remain aware of one thing. As a man, he had to fight harder to get the blessing of the girl's father, so that they would not go out like thieves like had. Satria knows very well that one of the absolute conditions for getting the blessing of the father of the girl he loves is to become a successful, wealthy man.

He was surprised why the character of his lover was in contrast to the nature of his father.

'This must be descended from her mom, low profile, not arrogant and not grandiose' thought the man.

He was easier to connect with his lover's mother than his father. Satria realizes that what he should do is pet his father first and then his daughter. However, it's almost the second year of his relationship with Andira, he's still stuck at a red light that somehow turns green.

"Dear," Andira called while shoveling rice cake into her mouth.

"Hmm?" replied Satria who was still faithfully staring at his lover.

"Why don't you eat? You keep looking at me, why? Is there something funny on my face? Or am I eating it all messy?"

"Heheh, no, Baby."

"Then, why did look at me like that? I'm so awkward, here."

"Oh my gosh, hahahaha. I'm just thinking, what's my dream, Baby. So that getting to speak an angel like you."

"Yeee, You talk rubbish, eat come on eat."

Andira pouted but you could still see some red on her cheeks because of the mess.

"Dear, you must eat!" Andira reminded again because Satria never took his eyes off her

Both of them also enjoyed the taste of roadside  tofu which was very addictive to be visited again.

Tania was lucky not to be with them because she would be the go-ahead in the midst of the intimacy of these two people. Just like the tofu seller who can only smile to himself and chatter to buy it. Luckily there were only the two of them there as a last resort because it was already late and the seller will be home.

Satria is a loyal buyer who has turned into a friend, so he is happy to see his friend happy like that. After a few days ago, he saw the man's face without the slightest smile.

He didn't feel comfortable asking anything, afraid to offend his friend so silence was the best choice.  Only Galang knows that it's all because of the tragedy on Delima street which is full of mystery to his friends.
