THE SWEET TASTE OF LOVE (ENGLISH VERSION)

AFTER Nana Mabel finished cooking, she quickly prepared the table so that Clark could eat right away. She went up to the young man’s room to call him.

“Clark!” Nana Mabel called while knocking on the door.

Clark was suddenly distracted as he thought he hadn’t slept that long. He got up because of the knock he heard and headed for the door. “Why, Nana?” she said as soon as the door was opened.

Nana Mabel saw the young man as if he had just woken up. “Did I disturb you in your sleep, Clark?”

even though Clark smiled at the old man. “Did you cook, Nana?” he responded differently.

“Yes, that way I’m here to call you, eh.”

It’s good that I’m really hungry, Nana. Let’s go downstairs. ”

Nana Mabel happily walked with Clark.

while Clark is eating. “Are you not leaving?” Nana Mabel asked him.

“No, Nana.” He accompanied what he said with a shake of his head.

Nana Mabel was really surprised at Clark. Why wouldn’t he leave? “What is wrong with you now that you don’t leave, Clark?”

“No Nana, I want to rest here.” He looked at the old lady. “I know you’re wondering, Nana.”

“Of course I know you.” You’re the one who can’t be restless when you’re at home. You cannot stay here in less than thirty minutes. Then you leave. ”

Clark smiled because she was right. He doesn’t know if he was possessed by a miracle when he went to Obando today. Why did his thoughts suddenly change? “Nana, I’ll be in the room. I want to continue to sleep. ”

“Well then, that’s good to go now, Clark.”

Clark left the old woman and went straight to his room.

The next morning, Clark got up energetically. He stretched. “Hmmm, now I’m going to start the day that should happen.” This is the beginning… woah! He slept well. Now he slept that long because if he sleeps, the sun will be shining already. If he has a woman with him, the sun is already bright with his eyes open. He headed to the bathroom to prepare himself for the work to be done for him as well.

Tamara is already awake to prepare what she and her aunt will bring to the shop. She was heading to the kitchen, and she could smell something fragrant. Is it possible that her aunty was already cooking? She knows she doesn’t wake up at this time in the morning. She went straight to the kitchen. “Is that Aunty or am I just seeing someone?” She looked at her for a long time. Tamara couldn’t believe it when she saw her aunt. “What’s wrong with her? Has she been bewitched? She’s become kind and hardworking now!”

When Emily turned around to put the fried hotdog on the table, she looked at her niece, who had just woken up, and wondered why she was the one cooking now. She already knew why her niece looked like that. “Don’t stare at me, Tamara. Let’s eat first before going to the shop.” she said.

Tamara approached the table. “Aunt, why?” she asked, because she was shocked by what she saw.

“Why, Tamara? Did I do something wrong, huh? ”

“No, Auntie, but this… you did it today.” “Why?” she asked again.

“Why? Hmmm, nothing. I just want to do it. No more questions, Tamara, sit down and eat. Hurry, maybe my mood will change later. So, enjoy now, “she ordered her.

Tamara didn’t waste a minute. Yeah, she might change, but that’s already okay.

“After you finish eating, take a bath, I’ll prepare something for us to eat this afternoon.”

“Auntie, thank you,” even though she was really surprised.

“You’re welcome,” she replied with a smile.

“Auntie, are you in love?” she asked, because her smile was so different now.

“In love? With whom? ”

“Why ask you, Auntie, because I don’t know either.”

I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about love or being in love.”

When her aunt said that she remembered her dialogue from yesterday, “Aunt, huh. That line is mine, eh. ”

“Yours? Where’s your signature, huh? And where’s your proof? ”

Tamara laughed because her aunt spoke like this.

“Auntie, you’re really different now. I hope it’s always like this, ” her face became serious.” ”

My niece, I am so generous today. So, just enjoy it. Maybe one morning I’ll go back to the way I was before. ”

But she was really surprised, like something she asked her later about what was wrong with his aunt’s behavior. She already knows her from the tips of her nails to the ends of her hair.

“Auntie, be honest with me.”

“What again, Tamara?”

“You did this because later you asked me to do something.”

When Tamara said, Emily’s face became serious. “No!” she replied.

“Auntie, you’re not like this, I know.”

“Tamara, if you’re done eating, go ahead and take a shower. After that, we leave,” she avoided her.

Tamara didn’t say anything else. She stood up, picked up her plate, and put it in the sink to wash.

“Leave it to me, I’ll do it.” After she said that, she went to the sink.

“But, Aunt. I w— ”

“Don’t be stubborn, Tamara; do what I said before I scolded you!” she exclaimed emphatically.

“Yes, aunty!” She quickly left the kitchen.

Emily smiled. She didn’t know why she was feeling so happy right now.

When Tamara finished taking a bath, she put only a little powder on her face and combed her hair. She looked herself in the mirror. She smiled because she was satisfied with her simple look.

After she came out, her aunty was sitting in the living room, waiting for her.

“Let’s go, Aunty.” She took the basket with the contents of their lunch later.

Emily stood up without saying a word and followed her niece out the door.

While Clark was going down the stairs, he was whistling the famous song Thinking Out Loud.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

His destination is the kitchen, to have coffee first. When he entered, there was no one, so he made coffee for himself. He continued whistling and sat down.

Her maid was smiling as she entered the kitchen.

“Good morning, Clark!”

“Hmmm, good morning to you too, Nana.” He smiled.

“You had a really good morning, Clark.”

Clark smiled at Nana Mabel. “Well yes, Nana.”

“It feels good to see you like that, Clark. You’ve gotten even more handsome.”

“Nana, you’re still teasing me, huh!”

Clark, even you. You know that there are many women chasing you, right? Sometimes there are even a woman come here to look for you. ”

“I’m not chasing then, Nana.”

“Yeah, I know that, Clark, because you’re a handsome, rich, well-known person, the woman you will marry is nothing to ask for. ”

“Then am I perfect, Nana?”

“If you think you are like that, Clark, well, it is? But they say there are no perfect people in this world, right? ”

“I know that, Nana. That’s why I can say I’m not a perfect person, I’m a sinner too. ”

“Wait, let’s change our topic. You’re different now. What’s wrong, Clark?”

“Hmmm,” he seemed to be thinking, but he smiled.

“Hmmm, that a naughty heart of yours had admired a woman, Clark?”

“Maybe, Nana.”

“Maybe? You should know. ”

“Nana, I’ll find out first.”

“Ehemmm, looks like you’re going to date someone, huh?”

“Nana, the question is how to court a woman.”

Nana Mabel laughed. “You silly child, you’ve slept with a lot of women, but you don’t know how to court yet.”

As Nana Mabel pointed out, Clark scratched his head. Well, they come to me, not to Nana. You know that, you said I’m handsome!”

“I don’t know. It’s up to you what strategy you will adopt. If you really have someone in your heart? ”

“Nana, what if I do like this? I will take her by hook or by crook. ”

Nana Mabel laughed loudly at what she said. “You’re being silly, Clark. Why would you do that when you’re handsome? ”

“Really? Nana. I really don’t know how to court a woman. ”

“if your heart says, do it, Clark, if you are in love now. I always hear this advice to people who are in love: “Follow your heart because it will lead you to the right one and make you happy.”

Falling in love? I don’t know yet, but I will try. He finished his coffee.

“Thanks for the good advice, Nana. I will do what I have to do now! ”

“Wait, don’t you want to eat breakfast first before you go?”

“Coffee is enough for me now, Nana. Bye, see you later.”

“Are you going to eat dinner here, Clark?”

“Hmmm, I’ll call you to let you know, Nana, okay.”

“Alright, are you going to your office?”

“No Nana, I have something important to do today.”

Well , whatever it is, I told you that you would succeed now.

“I like that, Nana. You gave me courage. ”

Nana Mabel’s response to him was a smile. Well, she wants him to get married so that someone will take care of him. He was old already.

Clark stood up and went straight to the garage.

That morning Tamara is already occupied; there are many people and even her aunt is assisting her now. For her It is really a miracle for her aunty now.

“It looks like there will be a lot of people today. This is good. We can sell many things today. And it’s good too that we can go home early. Tamara said to herself.

On today, Clark’s only target was to go to Obando, not to dance to see Tamara, for his plan was to meet her first and then decide whether to marry the woman and have a baby. For Clark, everything is very easy because he is determined to make what he wants happen.

He’s already in the parking lot. “Clark, you can do it. Like Nana Mabel said, follow your heart okay.” He took a deep breath before getting out of his car.
