Adorable Laughter

"And we feel the same way, Jayden. We are here to support each other. Let's face everything together." Jayden smiled with relief as Agatha could understand without the need for lengthy explanations. "Thank you, Agatha. You can always read my mind without many words. I'm lucky to have you in this." Agatha smiled gently, expressing support without needing many words. They both spent time together in tranquility, finding comfort in each other amidst life's storms. "I'm grateful that you didn't buy alcohol again. Because if you do, I will scold you and throw away all those drinks." Jayden smiled faintly. "I understand, Agatha. You always remind me. Thank you for always being there for me, even in tough times like this." Agatha smiled, then offered food because she knew Jayden hadn't had dinner yet. Coincidentally, Agatha had already cooked and there was still some left for Jayden. Agatha brought a plate of food to the dining table, creating a fragrant aroma around them. Jayden, looking tired, smiled upon seeing the prepared table. Agatha smiled gently. "Jayden, I know today has been tough for you. This might alleviate it a bit." Jayden took a deep breath. "Thank you, Agatha. I'm really hungry. It feels like everything suddenly crumbled, and I just want to collapse." Agatha placed the plate in front of Jayden and sat across from him. Her facial expression showed care. She chuckled softly upon hearing Jayden's complaint. "Everything will be okay, Jayden. We can surely overcome all problems together." Jayden started eating with gusto, but his gaze looked heavy. "I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for always being there." "You don't need to thank me. I'm here because I care about you and Layla." Jayden smiled warmly and admirably. "You're amazing, Agatha. How did I get so lucky?" Agatha giggled, then shrugged. "Maybe it's fate for us. So we must live it together." They continued their dinner, a peaceful and supportive atmosphere filling the room. "I hope after this everything is truly resolved," Jayden remarked. "You're right. But life is a place full of problems. If there's another test for us, we can't refuse it, right? We can surely overcome it together. You have to believe in me." Jayden paused, then smiled faintly. "I always believe in you, Agatha." "By the way, how about the taste of my cooking?" Agatha asked, changing the topic. Because discussing recent events wasn't appropriate. "Just like usual. Always delicious to me. It seems like you deserve to be a chef in a large restaurant." Agatha chuckled softly. "I always try new recipes I see on the internet, so you don't get bored, of course. And I'm glad if you like my cooking that's still nothing special." "I always enjoy your cooking, Agatha." Agatha smiled happily at Jayden's compliment. "I'm glad you like it. I will always try to give the best for you and Layla." Jayden nodded in agreement and continued eating. "You know, Agatha? Your presence makes everything better. Thank you for always being there for me and Layla, especially in difficult situations like today." Agatha looked at Jayden with warmth. "You don't need to thank me. We're like a family now, not just an employer-employee relationship." They continued their dinner with a warm atmosphere in their apartment. Some laughter and jokes were heard, dispelling the tiredness and tension from the events of the day. "Oh, by the way, how about occasionally eating out at different places to avoid getting bored? What do you think? You have never eaten from a restaurant before, right? Who knows, you might get culinary inspiration from there?" Agatha smiled and nodded in agreement. "Of course, great idea! I'm happy to try new things, including dishes from restaurants. Maybe we can plan that for this weekend?" Jayden agreed, his lips curling. "Why not? It will be a fun experience. We can find an interesting restaurant and taste various dishes. Maybe Layla will also be happy with this idea." They continued their dinner while planning fun activities together in the future, building new memories that would be stories to tell in the future.  *** "It seems like after this, my life can be more peaceful," murmured Agatha with a smile, then closed her eyes to dream. Life in this world is not without problems. After Agatha nearly had no hope for a happy and peaceful life, gradually those problems disappeared. Now Agatha wants to hope again and believe that after a storm, there is always a rainbow. Day by day, Agatha spent it with joy and enthusiasm. Her thesis, which had been forgotten due to a blank mind, could slowly be worked on again. Every day, Agatha tried to be productive and organized in her activities. Her cooking skills also continued to develop. Agatha even started learning various recipes from the restaurants she had visited with Jayden and Layla so they could eat at home instead of buying food. Until now, Agatha always emphasized the need to save money even though they weren't lacking in finances. Tonight, Jayden was at the apartment. Tomorrow, on Monday, he would be working extra hours again because he didn't want to be outdone by Cakra. Agatha knew this because Jayden had told her after the incident where Jonathan eventually handed over one of the company branches that was initially supposed to be owned by Jayden to Cakra. "How about your thesis? Any difficulties?" asked Jayden suddenly as he arrived in the kitchen, intending to get a drink from the fridge and then sit at the dining table. Agatha, who was cooking, glanced briefly. Then she smiled. "Always challenging. But I can still manage it." "When you're stuck, you can call me." "Oh, why? Do you want help working on it?" Jayden placed his glass on the table after drinking. "Of course. I'm quite skilled in that field. So it's only right for me to share my knowledge, right." Agatha chuckled softly. "I'm looking forward to it." Jayden glanced at the notes lying on Agatha's table. "I can give you some advice or ideas to help you. You know, with all the experience I have, maybe I can help you find a new perspective." Agatha smiled and nodded. "I'm glad to hear it. All your help and advice are certainly invaluable." They occasionally discussed ideas for Agatha's thesis. Jayden provided deep insights, while Agatha enthusiastically accepted his input. Their togetherness grew stronger, not only in daily life but also in their accomplishments. Jayden smiled broadly. It had been a long time since he had heard that adorable laughter. Since his relationship with Agatha became closer, they no longer masked their expressions. Jayden was pleased that Agatha was more open with him. However, he often felt embarrassed seeing various surprising behaviors from Agatha. The more he got to know her, the more he discovered about her. But Jayden didn't mind because Agatha always looked intriguing in his eyes. "I checked in her room earlier, it turns out Layla is drawing. I thought she was asleep," Agatha mentioned a few moments later.
