Restaurant City S
At a table with three people sitting in a circle, there was a little awkwardness when one of the three was hit by what is called hate but love syndrome, while the other looked at the two of them with a cute giggle inside, then the one that was left only showed his signature flat face.
Selyn, who was giggling, knew clearly how her beloved Queene felt right now, she just hoped that her brother and sister's problems were over and they could be together like before.
I know, I can't interfere anymore. But I just want the two of them to be together, after so long apart, Selyn thought hopefully.
Selyn saw her brother who looked stunning as usual, although only in a white shirt whose sleeves were rolled up, but it made her brother's charm even more so that those around her looked at their current table, with various expressions between admiration and amazement.
Then she also looked at her sister, who was sitting next to her with clothes that contrasted with her brother, a black dress that showed off white shoulders, so she could see her brother's gaze, which looked like he didn't like it.
Her brother inherited her Daddy's genes, is possessive of whatever he loves and she understands that the meaning of that gaze is not a look of dislike for Queene, but rather the clothes Queene is currently wearing.
Basically my brother, it's not even hers yet. What if he finds out himself, Queene used to always be surrounded by men when you were in college, Selyn continued, still amused in her mind.
While Selyn was amused, Queeneira who felt Gavriel was watching her move uncomfortably in her chair, then cleared her throat and turned to Selyn and smiled stiffly.
"Have you decided what you want to eat, El?" asked Queeneira with the menu in her hand.
Yes… Right now they were ordering food, purposely waiting for Gavriel's arrival and then they ordered food. That's why Queeneira who was looking at the menu felt goosebumps, when Gavriel looked at her even though the menu book was in front of each of them.
"Hm, I ordered Tenderloin steak and fruit salad dessert. What would you order?"
"I-
"Have you ever tried Japanese wagyu steak? Softer in texture and more juicy, how about it?" Gavriel interrupted quickly, looking at his two favorite women who were also looking at him with different expressions.
Selyn looked at her brother with knitted brows, thinking to be exact. Meanwhile Queeniera looked at Gavriel with disapproval, as her sentence cut off in such a relaxed tone.
"How?" asked Gavriel again, when neither of them gave an answer, while a waiter stood faithfully waiting for their order.
"Fine, I agree. If you say delicious, it means delicious. And how about you Quee?"
Queeneira flinched a little, when she suddenly heard a question for her about the food they were going to order. She just nodded, but she didn't necessarily agree to the order that Gavriel was about to order, she quickly interrupted when Gavriel was about to mention the order of them.
"Okay, so we ordered 3 steaks?" asked Gavriel, confirming and getting a nod from his sister's head. "We ordered the Japanese wagyu steak 3-
"Excuse me, just 2 steaks and for myself I ordered the cream of mushroom soup. Also a fruit salad, that's all. Thank you."
Glancing at Queeneira quickly, Gavriel felt his best friend waving the war flag by again refusing his presence. He also raised an eyebrow with a crooked smile on his lips, Gavriel felt exasperated when he saw the invisible wall that Queeneira installed was increasingly visible.
Hum… Well, we'll see how long you will deny my existence and your love for me, the love you expressed 10 years ago, Queeneira, Gavriel thought.
"Don't forget to take notes," said Gavriel in an even tone, without looking at the waiter as his focus was now on Queeneira, who looked down at him as he stared into her eyes with intense, unobtrusive eyes.
"Yes sir."
"So the order is, 2 Japanese wagyu steaks, mushroom cream soup, 2 fruit salads. Anything else, sir?" money and asked the waiter in a polite tone.
"Hn. Bring me Cabernet merlot too, then strawberry juice," added Gavriel when he saw the list of available wines, while he ordered other drinks for his sister and his women.
"Understand, Sir. Then excuse me."
Then the waiter left the table, went to the place where the customer left the table with 3 people looking at each other but with different expressions.
"Quee, didn't you try the steak?" Selyn asked in a markedly awkward tone.
"Hum, I don't want to eat meat anymore. Next time, I'll try," replied Queeneira with an explanation which of course was a lie. She loved meat and she was sure Gavriel knew that clearly.
"Wow … It's a shame," said Selyn with a sad expression, while Gavriel only saw his two favorite women chatting.
With a crooked smile on his lips, Gavriel saw Queeneira who was avoiding his gaze, turned away but a second later glanced back at him, causing him to secretly chuckle but he held it in.
My lady, it looks like you won't be able to just stare at me for a moment, Gavriel chuckled inwardly.
Damn it, why does he have to prop his chin like that? Look at his arms, does he want to show it off to the women around him, or is he used to being like that, Queeneira grumbled, her face as invisible as possible.
Queeneira snorted as she glanced with the corner of her eye to the left and right as well as the surroundings, which were currently bustling with female visitors staring at Gavriel with awestruck twinkle and hungry gazes.
It sucks, Queeneira cursed in the day, annoyed at the sight of her surroundings.
Pfffttt.
Gavriel laughed secretly, of course inwardly at the sight of Queeneira's displeased face as he looked around, with many of the female and male visitors looking at them with admiring gazes.
Hey! Just so you know, he was actually feeling disgusted when he saw a guest male who looked at his woman with a look of interest.
Do they want to be destroyed? Gavriel snorted inwardly.
But he took it easy, didn't need to show too much, if in fact he could do more than just stare back at the bastard boys around him.
What's that?
Later and just wait. Because it's not time for him to show his powerful way.
It didn't take long for their order to arrive. They enjoyed the food deliciously, occasionally they would hear conversations from Selyn, who asked about his brother's life in America, while provoking Queeneira, who just ate quietly, not participating in the conversation between her and her brother.
"So, right. I also have a friend who used to study in America, he said it was difficult to study there, so I came back and happened to be on the same campus with me."
Gavriel nodded, confirming what his sister said, because he also experienced how difficult it was to do every task given by the lecturer.
"That's true, El. That's why I rarely give news," Gavriel confirmed, looking at Queeniera hoping that what he said was heard and understood by his future wife.
"But still overdoing it, it's not uncommon anymore," said Selyn in an annoyed tone, reaping a small chuckle. A sweet chuckle rang in the ears of the women around him, so that a muffled scream could be heard from them, with Queeneira again annoyed but able to hide it.
Once again the charm.
"I'm so sorry, princess."
"Huem."
"Don't be angry, the important thing is that I have gone home and am standing by your side again. Heum ... Yes, right?" Gavriel pleaded gently, when he saw his little princess put on a sullen face.
"Fine."
"Good girl."
Queeneira could only be silent, when this pair of brothers and sisters chatted as usual, still as warm as ever, even though Gavriel used a flat tone with his trademark baritone, but Queeneira knew that Gavriel answered Selyn's every word warmly.
"So, Que. How are you?"
"Ah!"
Queeneira flinched a little, when Gavriel suddenly asked her how she was, making her immediately look at Gavriel and forget the mushroom soup she had just eaten a few mouthfuls of.
Trying to calm down, Queeneira straightened her back and wiped the corners of her lips before answering Gavriel's small talk.
"Me?" asked Queeneira to confirm, with Gavriel nodding in approval.
"Hn."
"As you can see, I'm fine." Queeneira replied curtly, then continued eating and shifted her gaze to the bowl, trying not to care when Gavriel nodded his head.
"Thank goodness."
After eating the main meal, they continued. with the dessert they ordered. Fruit salad for Selyn and Queeneira, while Gavriel enjoyed the wine, Cabernet merlot.
Cabernet Merlot is a full-bodied red wine that has a rich and complex taste. This wine has flavors such as blackberry, blackcurrant, baking spices, and cedar. This type is one of the most popular types of wine in the world. This wine is known as a wine that has high tannins.
While Selyn and Queeneira were chatting, occasionally eating their salad, Gavriel took a sip of the sweetness of the drink he was currently drinking.
The alcohol content is only 13%, it doesn't make you drunk and again the wine is made from fruit.
"Mas! I can also drink wine with Daddy," Selyn said, surprising Gavriel who was currently sipping wine but his eyes focused on Queeneira.
"Hn?" Gavriel muttered with raised eyebrows, asking.
"I want to drink the wine too," Selyn repeated, reaping the benefits. Gavriel nodded his head and immediately held out the bottle, while Selyn held out a glass of wine to him.
"Thanks, Gav!"
"Hn."
"You want too, Queene?" Gavriel offered, but unfortunately Queeneira shook her head then continued eating her fruit.
"No."
"Ok." Nodding his head in understanding, Gavriel took another sip of wine, occasionally responding to the words of Selyn, who was discussing the hotel his sister currently manages.
Not long after, Queeneira stood up from her seat and allowed herself to go to the toilet which was nodded by them. Selyn and Gavriel saw the departure of Queeneira with different looks, then both of them looked at each other with different eyes.
Selyn looked at him with a demanding look, about Queeneira's attitude towards his brother changing, while Gavriel looked at his sister with a plan.
"Gav…."
"Hn?"
A few moments later
Queeneira returned to the table where she had been sitting, then immediately sat down in her chair.
She drank the drink and looked at Selyn confused, when she saw Selyn who looked at her uncomfortably.
What's wrong? she thought confused.
"Why, El?" asked Queeneira confused, then turned her gaze to Gavriel who was still casually sipping the drink
"Quee."
"Yes."
"Sorry, I can't accompany you to eat until it's finished. I have to go to the hotel, there is an emergency message sent by the staff," Selyn explained with a regretful tone, looking at Queene with sad eyes and hoping to understand.
"What… How come all of a sudden?" asked Queeneira anxiously. She didn't want to be alone with Gavriel, moreover she didn't bring a car because she was suddenly picked up by Selyn at her apartment.
"Yeah, I don't know either," answered Selyn quickly.
"Okay, I'll just go home too. We're done eating this, right?" Queeneira said as well as packing her bag, but immediately stopped when suddenly Selyn grabbed her hand quickly.
"Don't!"
"Eh! Why?" asked Queeneira unsettled.
"Quee, stay here first, accompany Gavriel until he finishes drinking. It's rare that he has this kind of time. Ok, right, Quee? When it's finished, I'll come back here, right, Gav?"
Gavriel just nodded with a faint smile on his lips, hidden behind the glass that was currently stuck to him while he was still enjoying his drink.
"Hn, of course, El," said Gavriel as he placed the wine glass on the table in front of him.
"Please, Quee, wait for me here. Same with Gavriel," Selyn continued to persuade Queeneira who finally nodded slowly.
"Okay," Queeneira answered quietly, getting happy screams from Selyn, as well as Gavriel who was secretly grateful in his heart.
"Okay, I go. Bye Gav, bye Quee," said Selyn, then took her handbag and kissed her brother's cheek. "Good luck," Selyn whispered to his brother, who returned a fond kiss on her hair.
Finally Selyn left the table with two people who were silent, with different thoughts and with different feelings.
"Queen."
