From the morning the sun shines brightly, the market atmosphere is also crowded because this weekend is also the case with their dish trading that sells. The faces of Gemma, Nora and Gloria smiled very widely because their income today was very good.
While repairing her merchandise, Nora who regained her senses first. "Eh?!"
The woman immediately elbowed Gloria who was next to her to also come see what surprised her at this moment.
"What's wrong with you anyway?!" Gloria is worried about Nora's behavior which always makes her shake her head.
"That's the headmaster.." Nora whispered whispered to tell Gloria and remained staring at the person for a moment of hesitation.
"Master??? What the hell..?!" Gloria paused her head in annoyance but a moment later she shut her mouth after seeing what Nora saw. Now it was Gloria's turn to elbow Gemma's nyut who was serving a drink to Flo.
"God!! The tea spilled!!" Upset Gemma. "You can't stay still?! This lap is narrow! For the madam skirt is not wet!!"
"That's. Mr. Agustin here!!" Gloria whispered with emphasis until Flo who was indifferent had seen the direction where Agustin stood looking at all of them.
Gemma was no less surprised and immediately awakened two colleagues to greet Agustin.
"Mr Agustin! We give you greetings!" Say they're compact.
After smiling and nodding his head, it was Agustin's turn to approach and greet Flo. "I Agustin salutes Ms. Flo." Formalized speech.
Flo simply thinned her lips, "I'm no longer part of Luckingham, there's no need to be formal with me. What made you come here??"
"I want to talk to Ms. Flo. Can't you??"
Flo looked at the three servants who were waiting for a reaction from him. "We're talking in that tavern alone." Flo pointed to a teahouse that was deserted by visitors and Agustin complied with Flo's request.
After ordering, they sat in silence. Agustin let out a long sigh before starting to talk to Flo. "Mrs, tomorrow Luckingham will make an announcement as to where. The news will come out officially, but before the news spreads I want the mistress to know first as the person outside Luckingham."
Flo was still speechless hearing Agustin's words, making the man resume his words. "Mr Winter will marry Miss Summer of the Grace family. And lady Leana intends to invite all the elders of Ferkalon to have Miss Summer appointed duchess."
Flo just kept silent to hear it all, whether it was any other feeling that could break her heart or make her melt into foam.
"As I promised Mr. Michael, the lady has nothing to do with Luckingham. Live well Mrs Flo, forget all feelings, throw away that last shred of hope."
"Wife..." Little Flo muttered, then he got up and left just like that.
Instead of going back to the three servants who might be waiting for him, Flo walked over and continued walking with a very unkempt feeling. He passed through many entertainment venues, and the day was getting darker. When he was tired, Flo stopped at a crossroads close to the comfort woman's house there. There was the sound of laughter and the sound of singing coming from there.
Flo just stood silently staring at the sky, faintly faintly sounding the song of wildflowers from within.
"🎶There is a flower that grows in the palace, its name is wildflower. It was like a flower, but his heart was wild. That's why she's called the wildflower🎶"
Flo looked down and greeted the song with a hoarse voice. "🎶🎶The sky is calling, and the wildflower is transformed into a pear flower that covers the sky🎶🎶"
The last song that no one ever sang. I think I will bloom like a pear that covers the sky someday. But....
Flo clutches her own hand tightly with a tremble she holds herself back because of Agustin's speech in which Winter is getting married for Summer.
"..not related.. Because I asked not to meet again, so.. is this the answer?? Is this the real feeling of Winter??" Flo crouched down and covered her face with both of her hands, her breathing choked by a silent cry.
Meanwhile, word of Winter getting married to Summer has spread throughout Luckingham and Altez is no exception. "Crazy people!! If you want to spread the rumor with your brain! Just watch!!" Altez took his coat and round hat. "Mrs!! I'll be there to see you!"
Altez walked far enough and took public transportation to get to the address Gemma had written in her letter. "Excuse me!!" Altez knocked on the door and opened it immediately.
"What's wrong? Where's Miss Flo??!"
Gloria and Nora also came out, "The lady hasn't come home yet!! Mr. Agustin came here and said he wanted to talk to the lady."
Before long, they stopped hearing footsteps. "Mrs Flo!!" Call them together.
Flo is shocked by Altez's appearance, but he is more surprised because the four servants immediately drag him to enter. "It's cold! It's getting dark, come in and warm yourself up madam!!"
Once the five of them had entered and sat in a circle while enjoying tea and dinner, Altez did not stop raving. "The waiter in Luckingham doesn't stop gossiping every day, saying it doesn't make sense that Mr. Winter would marry that Miss Summer!! Come back madam, let's teach that brash waitress a lesson! We whip and plug his eyes!!"
Gemma, Gloria and Nora who heard that were also angry and heated up Altez to act.
"Gtt!" Flo could not help but laugh at the fiery mannerisms of his four servants.
"Why is the lady laughing??" Altez looked at Flo confusedly. "The lady's coming back, right???"
Flo just silently looked at Altez, making Gemma, Gloria and Nora look at each other sadly.
"The lady's going back to Luckingham, right?? Why not answer??" Altez raised his intonation. Because I didn't get any answers from Flo either. "I sweep every day!! Dunk all the furniture until it is shiny and there is not a speck of dust!! I also learned to write literature like the lady told me to do before!! Why not answer?!! Madam will be back, right???!" Altez's eyes until glazed with the roar of breath hunting made his three friends even sadder.
"It's late, if you don't go back to Luckingham now. You won't be allowed in." Cold Flo vibe.
Only when Altez wanted to return to his argument did Flo look at him sharply. "Back now!" Firmly Flo back.
Altez brushed his tears and ran out after taking his coat and hat.
"Is it all right is Altez expelled like that mistress??" Ask Gemma heart. "Even though Altez had stayed there to wait for his mistress to return."
Flo paused for a moment, "you alone..Why keep hanging on with me??"
Gemma took a long breath. "That sense of loyalty and life is not something we can just throw away. Sometimes there is no choice but to survive, even though the circumstances make us difficult and fed up. Shouldn't we keep bracing ourselves to survive."
..
Flo opened the window of her room, again she looked up at the night sky.
All confusing..you say you do not throw me. You also say that our relationship is not a relationship that can just be broken... does all this mean there is a way for me?? But why of the many paths do I not see the way for me?? I don't get it...
As the night wind blew against Flo's face, she smelled a distinctive perfume. "Ethan??" Said slowly.
There was a rustic sound from beside Flo's window, "You're like a witch with supernatural powers, just smelling perfume, knowing who it is." Ethan appears standing in front of Flo's window. "Are you healthy, Flo??"
Flo looked at the man before her, "Ethan, where is Uncle Michael right now??"
Ethan raises his eyebrows at Flo's question.
"I know you know where he lives, right?"
"Do you know Flo that you can't just meet him." Ethan looked at Flo inside.
"I hate you, I hate you for meeting Uncle Michael and being his confidant." Flo paused. "Uncle Michael was the first to call me beautiful with a warm smile, after he left I kept crying." Flo looked at Ethan seriously. "Find me with Uncle Michael."
