Chapter 10: Thank You for Your Service!

Today is Sunday morning, and i have a date with my husband.

Reika told me some of my husband plan as he reveals that he is really the first client, That why he leaves more often. But he only told me the parts where should i act so he didn't talk much so i will not be spoiled on what my husband is planning, but of course, i'm planning to surprise him too.

My nervousness is still present as i don't know what will happen to that guy but, i am too distracted right now.

Today, my husband is really trying his best to make this planned date be memorable as possible.

We are in a shop where Reika bribe shop owners to act like they are recommending me some clothes i choose before, and Riku didn't seem to care to spend a money, in the past he's more careful when dealing with money but now, he looks like he's enjoying it.

I remember the past so suddenly....

I am a florist in my aunt's flower shop, it was that time, this newly graduate person wants to buy a flower to offer it to his mom as a thanks for her but instead buying a flowers to offer it to me.

He said he fell inlove with me instantly, i was 21 by that time and he was 20, my aunt laugh hysterically as she can't believe what she witnessed, it's as if a humor.

We dated for 8 months and show me his passion in his life, he also told me his strengths which is dedication, for someone he loves, but his weaknesses which is to not giving them attention when he is busy or too dedicated, he's also handling money in a strict way that's why he's anxious if i will accept him.

As for me, i finished my college course in art, such as embroidery and flower arrangements, i do not have any certain plans in my life, to be rich or to be a middle class, i just want a calm life, enjoying these scenery but with my experience with him, i'm able to expand my viewpoint and become interested in his own, beautiful calm life.

Our parents didn't really object since they can see how dedicated Riku is, they are really hesitsnt of me because of my beauty and body, but they finally found someone to trust.

We got married, i did the first move though but he asked me if i am ready to give birth or if he was able to support me and our child, i think twice and refuses too.

We enjoyed our life foe two years, despite Riku being dedicated and stress out i am always here to console him, and when he is home, he will always tell stories and hear mine too.

Only the hell happened 3 months ago.

I don't know if i am strong enough to tell him

But i know, i am strong enough to stop him.

I won't care if he blackmail me anymore, i will report him, i will ask other police branch, ask my lawyer, i need to have a default trust, it doesn't matter, it will be indeed spread but the best i can do is to prevent it.

Using the money i kept from the money he is giving to me as budget, it is enough preparation.

Atleast, my husband will understand me, i really need to thank Rika-kun.

We visited the park we once jog together and the time he got pursued by dogs

We ate on the old food court we used to go as an budget date.

The photo booth where we got pranked by a streamer and have our embarrassing moments

Sauna bath that took our fatigue

A visit in a night carnival, rode a roller coaster, survived a haunted house, eat sweets, watch performers near fountain.

After that, we reached our main destination.

A coast, it's windy, the moon is full bright as it is illuminating on the sea.

We are on a sea wall, and this is a isolated place if there isn't such a grand decorations like this since this is in the side of the road.

A table, ingredients and outdoor kitchen, table and chair for two, some bonfires on a metal barrel.

Riku seems surprised, it's because it's my own plan.

"Why don't you sit down Riku?"

"Ah, yes." He affirmatively respond

With the fresh ingredients they ready, i cooked a curry and a sea food stew.

He seems surprised and nostalgic at the same time

It's because this is the place where we first kissed, we only plan to hang out here before, and the last foods we brought was my homemade curry, and his seafood stew flavored ramen.

I promised him here that i will make a sea food stew much more better than he gave if we come back here but me never got a chance.

After finishing cooking, he also gave me a shock when he show me his flower wine.

It is the same wine my aunt got as a limited edition price which she gave me in our wedding and drink it together.

"What a surprise, it seems like i got tricked by them."

"Ahaha, i'm sorry dear, i told them too."

We exchange glasses, eat our food and reminisce with old stories.

"Ha... I'm beat, i wonder if my planned fireworks will even work."

"I think it will."

"You even know that?"

"No, they only explained some parts i need to act but not really all, infact i enjoyed it."

"Good to hear Erisa, i did really work hard, to have us a better future, so tell me... Did i do a good job?"

Why do you need to ask? You did, and i am the only one who thinks i can't do anything, but now... I love to say it.

"Haha, of course you did, congratulations my dear."

With a relief on his face, he sighed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for staying with me."

"Me too, thank you for trusting me..."

I felt like i'm about to cry, my heart is racing, not because i'm anxious or scared, it's because i can feel it...

"Thank you for your hard work, but someone said to me that our present matters for now, so, let's enjoy this moment. Cheers!"

"Ahaha, cheers."

I am not afraid, i am happy, i am relief, i am alive. I really become strong right?

Fireworks explode from the sky.

"Oh! My fireworks can be seen here!"

"Hehe lucky."

For 2 minutes, we look up on the sky, they might be artificial lights and not like stars but they spark of huge joy.

"Oh, it's done."

"Is it?"

Another spark happens and he looked up

He saw it the words formed by fireworks.

'Thank you for the effort, my dear, i love you.'

When his head looked at me again, i already leaned near him and kiss him.

When it ends, we can feel the cold breeze penetrating us, but then, Riku-kun and another man showed up to escort us.

"How's our service sir?"

We are both speechless as they gave us a white medium thick blanket to cover our body from cold.

"Very good." We both respond

"Will you please rate your experience?" Said by Riku-kun

We looked at each other and smiled

"5 Stars!"

"Thank you for an honest ratings, you can list your reviews about us on our restaurant so please, let us accompany our client."

"Thank you for your service!"

We both move and leave the place, i don't know what will happens next but for some reasons, i love to be with them.

We followed them and arrive at their main restaurant.

It is huge, and seems convenient, my husband already saw this restaurant but this is the first time for me.

"When did you change the place old man."

"Why do you keep calling me like that? Anyway, i already made an library and i also re-innovate the tables for more convenience, it has touchscreens like a smartphone in front of your table, and oh, there's the memorial musuem you asked me."

Reika-kun and the man named Rariso is talking to each other but Reika-kun looked at me.

"Erisa-san, i want you to put an honest review about us, and also a small souvenir too and place it there."

Reika-kun looked at the restaurant counter, behind that is a tall empty glass shelf.

"Yes, but you already got it do you?"

He smiled.

I put the very first scarf i made by hand and put a sticky note on it.

'5 stars! One of my memorable moments in my life resurface, it's a surge of nostalgia and they did a good job at reminiscing our past.'

We came back at front door where they are waiting.

"Riku, Erisa, you have experienced our service, would you like to work here as a employee?"

Riku-kun asked. I do not have any work, i have been a housewife for a long time, meanwhile, Riku leave his job, he's going to have a hard time for sure if he find a job again.

"You shouldn't worry about your salary, i will pay you high." Said by Rariso

I looked at Riku and he looked at me too.

We have no reasons to refuse, we have experience such events and they seems to be friendly, and also, it's a wide place and comfortable to live in, they also promised a high salary.

"Then, we will be in your care." I bowed down.

Riku laughed and bowed too.

"Well, looking forward to work with you, and also thank you for the flower wine Rariso."

"Iyah iyah, you're welcome."

Rariso looked at Reika and give a commend thumbs up, but Reika shrug it and sigh.

"You owe me old man."

"Ahaha, we have other part timers right?"

We discussed our jobs we are supposed to do, Riku is a account manager while i am the florist that will take care of plants outside and inside on the second floor.

After the discussion is done, Rariso watched news.

"Hah, i've been busy lately, i didn't have a time to watch."

He clicked the remote for the screen on the counter but the news is something unexpected.

"May 10, Sunday, 9:17 PM yesterday, a body of a security guard was found dead on the electrical room of Akito apartments. Based on the residents statements, the power in the whole building suddenly shut off even though there's no black out happened outside, they text the guard to return the power."

What happened? How could this be?

"They said that the power turn off and on 3 times and suddenly stop, after several minutes, the power came on again but then it tooks one minute to hear that something explode on the electrical room between the second and first floor, they saw the body of the guard who has been electrocuted."

Is this a dream? It.... It's too good to be true.

My worst nightmare suddenly vanish after experiencing this?

"From the reports, it seems like the guard misunderstood that there's no power since the hallway lights on second and third floor are shut down from circuit breaker, it seems like he used the generator first before switching on the power again that cause overload, there's no cctv footage that can be used to witness but from the last record, it seems that the security guard deliberately turned off the power."

The reporter show the old lady after talking

"I told that pig bastard to fix this damn lights here in second floor! Now look what happened, i didn't even thought that the third floor lights are turn off, now look what happened to him, he misunderstood that it black out because there's no lights to signal him it works, now look! He destroyed the whole power!" Said by the old lady on news.

"The police is already investigating the situation and promise to fix the damage cause by this incident...."

It's.... Unbelievable, but i am thankful.

I can live my life without any fears like this again.

How's that? Isn't it wholesome? I told you, i didn't lie, this is wholsome.

I'll be resting for a week or maybe even sooner so you will wait more longer.
