THE SWEET TASTE OF LOVE (ENGLISH VERSION)

WHEN Clark returns to his house, he sees Carmina at the gate with a frown on her face. He shook his head. What is she doing here? This is what he hates the most about women: coming to his house. He can meet her or them anywhere, but not at their home. For him, even if he doesn’t like the word marriage, for him, the only woman who steps inside their house is the woman he loves or will be his wife.

He opened the gate using the remote control when he entered and got out of his car.

Carmina immediately asked Clark. “Where did you go, Clark? I can’t catch you. Where have you been? ” Even though she wanted to be sweet, something else came out of her mouth that annoyed him.

Clark looked at the Carmina. What he hates the most is being asked right away if he has not entered the house yet.

“Not everywhere I go, I must tell you, Carmina is not necessary. I tell you, you’re not my wife!” But Clark couldn’t hide his irritation with the woman.

“I’m just asking, Clark. Why are you so defensive? ”

“Yes, you’re asking. But next time, ask me in a good way. Okay. ”

“Okay fine, sorry, I’ve been calling you for a while but you didn’t answer. And then suddenly, your phone is off. That makes me so mad! ”

“Why are you here, Carmina?”

“Clark, do you have to ask that? I’m your girlfriend. ”

Clark didn’t know that his feelings for her had suddenly changed. What she said just now was wrong for him because she’s not his girlfriend. They are only partners in bed and nothing else. And he wants to tell her, No, you’re not my girlfriend. I never said I liked you. But he doesn’t want to hurt her. Well, maybe he can get a good time to say they don’t have a relationship.

“Why are you silent, Clark? Something wrong? ”

“Nothing!” he exclaimed before heading home.

Carmina followed him. Something else was on her mind now. She felt a different Clark was in front of her. Before, when he saw her, he smiled. Now his face is serious, as if he doesn’t want to see her. I feel you are hiding something from me, because you are so lethargic, it seems like you have another woman. I will find out who she is.”

Clark frowned when he faced Carmina because she was still following him. “If you don’t say anything to me, you can go home now, Carmina.”

“What? “Aren’t you going to let me in, Clark?”

“No need, let’s just meet outside.” And my parents didn’t allow a girl to enter our house, “he said as his alibi, but he was the one who wanted it.

But Carmina didn’t move. She hugged Clark. “I miss you!”

Clark closed his eyes. He wanted to feel if his heart would beat faster for this. But it’s not so empty. isn’t like when Tamara was with him. He could feel his heart beating fast. Even the desire he felt when they met is completely gone. He knows why, because of Tamara. He has really found what is called love.

“Carmina, let me go,  like the wave, take you away!” He let go of her hand and faced the door. But you won’t go inside yet. He let Carmina leave first.

Carmina is shocked; Clark was not like this before. His response to her used to be a hot kiss. And there are still chills. Now he’s so cool.

“What’s wrong with you, Clark? Why are you like that? ”

“Nothing wrong, Carmina. I’m just tired. I’m so busy this day! ”

When Carmina heard that she was like a tiger, she was ready to go wild at any minute would be wild.”Busy? Common, Clark. You are not! “it raised her voice.

Clark faced her. “Go home, Carmina!” He didn’t like what she did, so she raised a voice at him, “Damn he hated you,” but he still calmed.

“Why are you like that, Clark? Do you have a new woman? ”

“Again, you act like my wife, Carmina. But you are not! Please go home now! ”

“Tell me, Clark, Is that the girl you danced with in Obando, huh? ” She doesn’t want to stop.

“You want to know? It’s better then you will stop. ”

“Yes, that’s why I said tell me!” She challenged him.

“Okay, yes she’s, and I love her!” Clark said directly.

“Whutt?” Her voice was loud.

“You heard it so clearly, Carmina. You’re not deaf, are you? ”

“You’re just lying, Clark.”

“I’m lying for what? You know me, Carmina. What I’m saying is true; I don’t need to lie. ”

I don’t believe this. Yes, I know you, Clark. You’re the kind of person who won’t love something like that, especially when you don’t know her well. ”

“Yes, you’re right, I thought that too, but I was wrong, but now my heart is involved, yes I know I am going to love her.”

“Wow, I’ve been with you for a long time, and you’ve never said you love me.”

“Because I never feel that way about you, Carmina.”

Carmina’s face changed when she heard that she felt like she was a tiger that was going to pounce at any moment. “Damn you, Clark!” she ejaculated.

“You said whatever you wanted, Carmina. I don’t mind it. I’m sorry if I hurt you. I was just being true to myself now. ”

“Ahhh, you just played with me, Clark!” She wanted to cry but stopped because Clark knows she’s a fighter.

“No, Carmina. I am not playing with you. You knew it from the beginning, didn’t you? And I always remind you. If you meet someone that you like and makes you even happier, then go with him. ”

“No, Clark. I love you! ”

Clark stared at her, wondering if she was telling the truth. But if it’s true, it’s too late because he found the woman who made his heart jump.

“I never felt that you loved me, Carmina. Maybe yes. But you never saw me. How do you love me?” He said this because whenever they are together, the warmth of their bodies is their priority. “Now for us, it is over.” I will stick to one. ”

Maybe what Clark said was right. She thought that making him happy in bed was the right way to show him she loved him. But she is wrong now because of what Clark said. “Really? I don’t think so. If you can do it, Clark.”

“I will change because of her. They say it right; love can make you change and can make you better. ”

“I don’t believe you, Clark.”

“I’ll show you, Carmina. I can. ”

“How? Marry her? You cannot do that. You are the person who is allergic to the word marriage.”

“I already said I would change, didn’t I?”

“Really? Okay, do it, but if you can’t do it, I’ll just be here to be your bed partner, because we both don’t want marriage. Good luck in what you do, Clark. Always remember, I’m here for you. ”

Before she left, she gave Clark a kiss. A kiss that seems to say that you will never forget me.

When Carmina was out of Clark’s sight, he took a deep breath and felt like a thorn had been pulled out of him. And a sweet smile appeared on his lips because there was no obstacle now. But he knows Carmina is a person who doesn’t want to give up easily.

“I hope what you said is true, Carmina. I hope!” He went inside and went straight to his room to rest first.

When she got into her car. “Ahhh! I hate you, Clark. I hate you!” she shouted and quickly sped her car away.

“Tamara you are dumbfounded there.” Emily said she was going to approach her niece.

At that moment, Tamara was on the balcony thinking about her and Clark. She looked at her auntie was already near her.”I just can’t believe what happened, auntie!”

“Are you, and what do you want to happen between you and that fast-moving man?”

“I don’t know, Auntie, I’m honestly confused.”

“Is your heart confused too, Tamara?”

Tamara shook her head at her aunt. Her heart said to follow Clark’s wishes.

“That’s the way it is. From what I’ve seen, read and heard on the radio, there’s only one advice or thing they say to people who have problems with love. Follow your heart because this is where you’ll be happy. ”

“Auntie, isn’t what happened so fast? And we got married right away! ”

“Do you have any doubts about him?”

“If you ask my heart, Auntie, there isn’t any. But my mind is there. How is he just playing with me? ”

“If he did that to you, I’ll be the one to fight that person, Tamara. I’ll really chop him!”

Tamara smiled at her auntie.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Auntie, really?” she said.

I’m not kidding; I’m going to do it; just don’t make a fool of yourself.”

Tamara stood up and hugged her aunt.”Thank you!”

“I’ll support you all the way, my niece. This is the chance that my grumpy attitude towards you in the past.” She returned it with a hug.

“Auntie, thank you, because what I had been praying for was happening.”

“You pray that my grumpy attitude is gone, ha, Tamara?”

Tamara looked at her auntie. She nodded and smiled brightly.

“What is your decision, about you and Clark, Tamara?”

“You said, Aunty, follow my heart. So, I will follow it knowing that you will be behind me when I get hurt! ” She replied with a smile.

“All I can say is to be a kind and loving wife, Tarama. I know if your foundation is love, I can see it in him that he loves you. ”

“Promise auntie, yes I will be a good wife to him because I think I love him.” This is what they call “love at first sight.” It’s an old line, isn’t it, Auntie? ”

“Yes, everyone says that line, but it’s true.” Now you’ve made up your mind, let’s go inside. It’s cool already here. ”

Now Tamara’s face was so relaxed. She was happy because her auntie supported her all the way.
