58 - Farm House

A few moments later they ordered and since it was free, she let the young man order for her. He was almost surprised at the amount it ordered and he knew they were delicious. He was suddenly struck.

“This, try this, Marie. My friend made it and it's one of his specialties. ” He laid a slice of meat on his plate.

He did not know the name of the one he gave but he brought it to his mouth and Magnar did not joke, the food he gave him was delicious.

Delicious! He closed his eyes and savored the taste of it then Gheron suddenly entered his mind so he opened his eyes. Why does he even think of the young man with food? She sighed slowly.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes." He nodded. He started eating the food cooked by his Chef friend.

"I told you, my friend cooks well," Magnar said. "Promise, I'll introduce him to you later."

He just shrugged. He ignored what the young man was saying, his attention focused on the food in front of him. Then he would find out the name after he ate.

With each bite, it was as if his heart was being torn apart. Divided into many pieces as if he wanted to choke. Suddenly the happy moment he had with Gheron in the kitchen entered his mind. For a while she was always laughed at by these Marie-babes. For moments it bothers him and makes him smile secretly.

He doesn't want to pretend. He was too lazy to pretend. Even today, he will admit that he is fascinated by every drop of Gheron's joke. With its annoying jokes. With its taxing and sudden sulpot from where.

"Marie"

"Huh?" He looked up.

“You’re crying…”

He was surprised. He was about to wipe the tears from his eyes but it was Magnar who voluntarily reached for his cheek with his own handkerchief and wiped it away.

"Is there a problem? You didn’t like the taste? ”

She smiled and shook her head as her eyes filled with tears. She was crying, not for pleasure because she was with the man she first loved, but she was crying Gheron was the reason.

“No, it's delicious. The temple is perfect and your friend's cooking seems to impress me. ”

He nodded and didn't ask again. “I’m just here Marie. I showed up for a long time, but everyone has a reason why. ”

He did not utter a word. It was good and only a friend could dig into his heart for it.

The two of them had a fun lunch. Magnar makes him smile at its simple jokes and its endless escapades. In four years, only one thing stuck in his mind in his story… He became a dancer in a gay bar and rocked the bar because it was so hot and fafable.

Just as Magnar told him to introduce him to his Chef's friend, he ordered the waiter to release the Chef which he whispered to the waiter. He was confused as to why he still had to whisper but ‘he didn’t ask. Most importantly, he was full and he could say that every dish was delicious! No cork. Then even more he wanted to know who the Chef it was talking about was. He's been in the kitchen for two weeks so he definitely knows it.

When his cell phone rang, he looked at it. He saw this chat from his brother and said that he had already received what he sent in the remittance.

“Marie here’s my best friend. The Chef and the sole owner of all Silver Garden. My friend… Gallagher Svensson. Don’t be confused, he really has a lot of names. ”

She sighed at what she heard and Marie looked up automatically, Gheron's eyes met hers. It was as if the world had fallen on him for the second time.

"S-He's the owner of S-silver Garden?"

"Didn't my handsome friend tell you?"

It was as if cold water had been poured on him and everyone had come in one after the other since he arrived in Sapporo, his suspension, his immediate job at Silver Garden, everything!

His eyes were wet. He felt, as if he had been deceived even though he had no right to feel that word. Gheron played with her hand by pretending it was hard.

What now if he pretends to be poor? You will not accept because you are embarrassed.

He didn't let Gheron get close to them, he got up quickly and hurried to the door. He even heard Magnar call him but he didn't listen, he just kept walking fast that he almost flew away.

Magnar just caught up with him outside the Silver Garden and before his tears could betray him, he grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into his expensive car so they could leave.

Only now did everything enter his brain completely. SGheron has been playing with the clock ever since. He wanted to be angry but he couldn't get to his heart. All he could dig was great embarrassment, slap of truth and in painful realization Gheron was a rich man.

"I have no intention of making you cry, Marie." She handed him her handkerchief. I don't think the young man is running out of handkerchiefs.

She accepted that and she was not ashamed to cry in front of the young man as he drove the car. He just quietly cried and let Magnar where it would take him.

He never thought that the owner of the Silver Garden was Gheron. That's why it's okay to lose it and intermittently. He really couldn’t quite figure it out. He wanted to slap himself with extreme annoyance and embarrassment.

“B-why didn’t you tell‘ me that Gheron is the owner of the Silver Garden? ” he scolded Magnar.

"You didn't ask Marie."

This is correct. He didn't even ask. But is he aware that Gheron also has an owner? It was as if he had been toyed with by karma for the second time and it hurts more now. All awhile he thought the young man was unlucky, in fact he was unlucky. The size of his bad luck!

"You love my friend."

He looked up. He saw Magnar's amused smile glance at him.

"H-don't tell him…"

"Why?"

He averted his gaze and looked out the window. "Promise me. Don’t tell Gheron, please? ” He turned here.

It nodded and raised a hand. "Promise!"



Magnar handed him a beer in a can and he immediately accepted it. Juice was given to him first but he did not accept and he insisted that he give him beer. They were on a roof top and beautiful on that roof top. There were very few people and almost all of them were couples talking happily.

"Where do you want to go home after this?"

He looked at it, "I'll have to go home."

“I won’t let you! Taurus is going to kill me. ”

"Taurus?"

"Nothing." She raised her beer and cheered him on. "For your broken heart!"

He just glared at Magnar and quietly sipped the beer. She closes her eyes in extreme bitterness. I don't think his throat could handle it because he spit out some of the liquid.

“You are not used to it. Just drink juice. ” He again offered her the juice but she did not accept. "When you're drunk, I can't go back to its Filipino life."

He ignored what Magnar was saying. He drinks beer that is frowning at the extremely bitter taste. She knew the young man would not harm her. He proved this before when they still had a relationship.

The climate was cold, but the beer he drank helped him to feel better. It's also nice to talk to Magnar because he forgets Gheron for a while. But from time to time the man comes to her mind.

"Give me your phone," Magnar said later, now holding out his hand to him.

"Why?"

“Just. I'll just delete something from your phone. I know that idiot is monitoring you. ” Then he laughed so loud that some of the people there looked at them.

"What?" Even though she didn’t quite get what it said, she still handed her old phone to the young man.

Smiling she accepted her phone. It fidgeted for a few seconds. When he returned his phone, he became serious again and gulped down the beer he was holding.

“Aren’t you mad at‘ me, Marie? When I turned away before and when I suddenly appeared to you? Won't you ask me why? ”

He just looked at Magnar and shook his head. "Forget it. I also accept everyone, Magnar, that it is more important for you to be rich. Then I used to be angry with you, now I can’t get over the anger you’re saying. Maybe I accept that. This is probably what they call closure. ”

I stared at him and it took me a long time to answer. “You are smart Marie. I’m sorry if it took four years before I appeared in front of you. I thought at first, you can forget me right away. ”

“Let's just have a drink. You are not at fault. Then, it’s your decision. I also decided to take myself away from the world for four years so it's okay. ”

"But you're hurting now."

He shrugged and looked at the beautiful city lights of Sapporo. "Nevermind. What are you! What matters to me now is my family. ”

"You said. All right, let’s cheers ‘em the pain you felt. Let's get drunk until Taurus kills us both! ” It raised the beer into the air again.

"Will Taurus kill?"

Laugh at it. “Nothing. Eat your ramen. ”

He obeyed what he said and ate the ramen. He just didn't like it because the combination was beer and ramen. He prefers to eat Gheron's food… but I don't think it will happen again. He could not afford the price of the man's cooking.

They also hung Magnar on the rooftop for about two hours. Not really he got drunk on beer because of the ramen he had left and the juice. It's hard to get drunk without the taste of his tongue.

He insisted on training but Magnar refused. He said that something bad might happen to him. So even though Hokkaido was far away, Magnar took him in his car. Throughout their trip, he was asleep. He just woke up when they were on the farm and it dropped him in front of the farm house. Wait, how did it know he was at the farm house?

He opened the door for her and his eyes were dim as he stared at her. "You're so sleepy, Marie."

He wanted to laugh at Magnar's voice. Suddenly it became tender or it just trip to be tender now.

“Yes. Do you want to drink coffee inside first so you don't fall asleep on the way? ”

He laughed and parted the hair that was covering his eyes. Fortunately, the staff house is far away, but their colleagues, especially Judith, can see them.

"Not Marie anymore." It smiled. “Thank you for today. I'm so happy." And she didn't expect Magnar to hug her carefully.

He felt no other relief in its embrace. It was like a friend's hug so he accepted her hug. He retaliated. It was like a closure that really didn't work out in their relationship. They also gave each other a long hug.

“Thank you, Marie…” He gave a light kiss on the side of her lip. It's just that it's almost windy.
