“Duh who holds a flower bucket. For that soapa? For Drina? Ah exaggeration! Don't you want to give flowers yet? Why not just give it to her house? Why was he brought to our house?”
Auristella was confused when she saw Adrian carrying a bucket of flowers into the house. Auristella suspects that Adrian will give the flower bucket to Adrina.
“What? This is not mine! This is for you, from Revano,”
“Hah?”
“Hah heh heh heh only you yes. What order did he give you flowers for? Why so romantic? He said it was only friendly but why would there send flowers like this?”
“I—I also didn't know that Revano sent flowers to me, Ian. I really don't know,”
“Well, where might not know? you and she are officially lovers huh?”
“Jeez, not at all! Hih you don't like to make up. Later if heard pleh Daddy or Mommy, I can be reprimanded,”
“Mommy Daddy hasn't arrived home yet. It received flowers from your prince,”
Adrian handed over the flower bucket he held to his sister as the owner. After Auristella received it Adrian looked at the sister cynically.
“Ian, why are you? I didn't know that Revano sent this flower. He didn't say anything to me. But I'm serious, me and him have nothing to do,”
“Any yes, have mocked me, said this is a flower for Adrina, whereas inid ari Revano for you. Huh so do not talk a lot before knowing the truth,”
“Yes since you held the flower, I thought it was for Adrina it turned out for me. Finally I was given flowers too,”
“Heh! You often ask to buy flowers by me, or Ean, or Daddy. Do not overdo it can flower just like that, the reaction is like getting a home certificate as good as five units,”
“Hahahaha that's overrated. I think my happiness is normal,”
“Already, just kiss the flower, then you take a photo, posts on social media say it's from your lover. I'm going back to the room. I'll report to Daddy that you got flowers from your girlfriend, Reva—“
“I won't do that! Look out if you report anything weird to Daddy. We're hostile if you—“
“I don't care,”
“Ian don't fuck around! Revano is not my girlfriend,”
Auristella exclaimed in annoyance at Adrian who had already climbed the stairs. “Ian beware if you report to Daddy,”
“If I keep reporting how?”
“Cannot! I just didn't expect to be sent flowers. And I don't know anything about that flower,”
Adrian paused his steps for a moment and immediately hit the eyes of the sleep-blind temple and it made Auristella growl.
“And you really suck. Watch out! We're enemies from now on,”
“Keep well your flowers, Ris. Afraid taken Daddy,”
Adrian laughed after saying so leaving his sister gritting her teeth irritated.
He regretted why Adrian received the flowers? Why not himself directly? And most importantly why does Revano have to send flowers? He did not ask, and Revano did not say anything before.
“Better I keep this flower in room now,”
Auristella immediately rushed to her room to save the flowers given by Revano and she contacted Revano.
“Hello, Revano. Why are you sending flowers to my house? My brother misunderstood ‘kan. He thinks we are more than friends, obviously we are just friends. I told him to focus on education first, don't mess around,”
“Sorry I didn't obviously suddenly give flowers, just assume tomorrow you're birthday again yeah,”
Auristella laughs at Revano's past words. I don't know where his friend's information is if he's birthday tomorrow.
“While obviously the birthday is past, not tomorrow. Why are you giving flowers?”
“I just want to give it to Did you get scolded by Ian while receiving this flower?”
“No, it's just that he threatened me to report this flower to Daddy. But you take it easy, Daddy won't be upset at most later ask nicely first, Daddy wants to know how far I and you have a relationship. I think Daddy will be eaten by Ian's words who will definitely talk to Daddy if you and I are lovers. I can explain to Daddy that you sent this flower because of a misunderstanding. You think I'm birthday again huh? Hahaha I still have a birthday again,”
“It's good that you explain it so that your Daddy doesn't get angry and think it's not. But my flowers are not thrown away ‘kan, Ris?”
“Yes where might I throw it away? I keep it, just relax. I never waste another person's giving whatever it takes,”
“I'm relieved by her. I thought you'd throw it away,”
Auristella laughed, She won't do that because she loves flowers, so Rasnaya is happy when she gets flowers. Moreover, the flowers given by Revano are very beautiful.
“Ya already then later when I birthday you don't need to think about wanting to give this again because you've given flowers to me. Thank you, I really like the flowers you sent because it is very beautiful,”
“Sama-sama, yes it must be beautiful to be as beautiful as those who receive,”
“You mean Ian is beautiful?”
“Eh is not Ian I mean. But you, why do you think what I'm talking about is Ian anyway
“Yes because you said to be beautiful just as you received flowers from you ‘kan? Meaning Ian? Because the one who received it was Ian, not me,”
“But once it's in Ian's hands, it ends in whose hands? And who do I want to give the flower to?
“Ya...for me ‘kan?”
“Iya so why Ian? The original recipient is you. Ian just accidentally accepted. Maybe by coincidence again outside yes jaddi when the flower came, Ian was the one who received,”
“Iya was she from outside,”
“Nah yes already means Ian accidentally received it,”
“Ya we already have yes chat we this time. Thanks again, I really like that flower,”
“Sama-sama,”
*******
“Daddy, does Daddy know anything?”
“Tau about what, Ian?”
“Auristella gets flowers from her lover,”
“Hmm?”
Both of Devan's eyebrows raised to the ground Adrian said. Devan's mouth stopped smoothing his dinner because of the prison from his second child.
“Jeez, Ian lied, Dad! I can't get flowers from a lover,”
“Try explaining. Since when do you have a lover? Why not tell Daddy? For fear Daddy asked to end the relationship? Because you know Daddy wants you to focus on your education first,”
“Dad, I don't have a lover. Ian lied, Dad. Please believe me,” explained Auristella as she looked at her father with eyes full of pleading for her father to believe.
“Lying which part? Bis orong explain to Daddy, to all of us at this dinner table?”
Angel, Andrean and Lovi are only good listeners if Devan is already in strict mode on his son.
“Yes if you already have a lover, tell Daddy. Although Daddy wants you to focus on education first but you have your own pic, Daddy can what? Most Daddy can only pray that your relationship does not hinder your education, does not make you change, does not put you in a dangerous position. Since you're a girl ‘kan, so honestly that's one of the reasons Daddy wants you to focus on education first. Daddy thinks you can not limit yourself but if indeed you feel otherwise yes it is up. Maybe you no longer want to talk Daddy, maybe what Daddy said is the wind then for you,”
“Gosh, I don't think that way, Daddy. I don't have a lover yet. It's a flower from Revano, but she's not my boyfriend, she's just my friend,”
“Oh Revano, if friends why send flowers?”
Auristella glanced at her second sister with a cynical glance. Adrian has made his Daddy misunderstood.
“So like this, Dad. He suddenly wanted to send flowers, he said consider me a birthday again. So he apologized, but is that okay? Giving flowers is common,”
Devan nodded his head. He began to understand, so Auristella was right to get flowers but Auristella evaded about the sender of the flower was her lover when still only a friend.
“Wow romantic once,”
“Sin' silence! I'm not asking you to comment,”
“Yes what I said is true ‘kan, he is romantic, want to give flowers when he knows that your birthday is tomorrow. His efforts are visible, whatever it is appreciated,”
“Iya right said Ian, whatever we receive we must appreciate. But Daddy thinks Ian's words are right,”
“On flowers is true, but about the sender who is my lover is very wrong. I actually don't have a boyfriend yet. It's a flower from my friend, Mom, Dad. Noisy mouth!” Auristella threw a sharp glare at the elder sister.
“Yes how could I not have thought that you and Revano were already lovers? The flower ‘kan is usually given to his partner in the framework of a wedding anniversary, or—“
“No, the flower can be given to anyone, Ian. Not just a couple,” said Angel.
“Hmm yes you are right, Angel. Not just for couples, right? But ‘kan often so, mostly for couples,”
Auristella snorted in annoyance. After he was defending Angel, then Adrian seemed to start losing arguing.
“Ke parents can also, to friends, to superiors, yes to everything can,”
Auristella stuck out her tongue mocking Adrian. Angel is on his side. What Angel said was right.
Once there was Angel, Auristella really felt like she had an older sister who understood how she felt.
“Iya okay-okay I lost. But the point is flowers are often given to loved ones ‘kan? Well means—you can conclude by yourself,”
“Ya indeed Revano love me. Can't love a friend? Otherwise dear, yes that means he considers me an enemy,”
“Uhuhuh darling,”
“Ian, don't start yes,”
Adrian chuckles at a warning from his Daddy. He cupped his hands together and bowed briefly towards Devan.
“Ampuni servant, Sir,”
“Do not disturb your sister. Let her know what it's like to be sent flowers from a boy friend who loves her,” Devan said as she pressed the last two words and looked at Auristella with a smile.
“Ah Daddy is the same. Come on, I pulled those loving words. No, he doesn't love me. It was a form of kindness for him as a friend. Already satisfied, Young master and venerable old Master?”
“I mean the young master Ian and the old Master Daddy,”
Lovi chuckled explaining. Especially when he saw Devan's face change. Auristella closed her mouth so she could control her laughter.
“Daddy adorable yes when sulking,”
“Ah just found out? How not red, Daddy is that old? Didn't you say, Daddy, if you've been wearing non-formal clothes, you look young? This is Daddy wearing non-formal clothes, Ris,”
“Hmm yes, Daddy's right. But Daddy himself also said age can not lie?”
“Duh, why should be confirmed anyway?”
“Indeed, the parent often admits that he is old, but sometimes likes to admit that he is young. Make head bobbles only,”
“Truly can be said to be old later only if Daddy's grandson has been born,”
“That's proof that Daddy's old. Right, Dad, Mommy support,”
Angel always feels comforted when she is with her husband's family. Warm chatter, sometimes mocking each other, but actually love slaing he never got after Mother and grandmother no longer exist.
With his brother and father, there was never a warm conversation. There is also a scolded. But it's over, now Angel feels happier, more able to enjoy the real life.
*******
The sound of knocking on her door made Auristella immediately leave her bed. He also stopped the drama he was watching.
“Hai, Daddy. Wow Daddy doesn't usually come to my room?”
“Yes because Daddy wants to take you away with Daddy want?”
“Where, Dad? I'm busy watching the drama,”
Devan grunts, watching deama is just made busy. His daughter made him angry. More concerned with drama than directly asserting his Daddy's invitation.
“So more drama than Daddy huh, Darling?”
“No, that's not what I mean, Dad,”
“Okay Daddy where to go?”
“You're on vacation soon, right? what do you want to buy? Let's go now,”
Auristella looked at her father with a cheerful look and a smile. It turns out Devan's goal is to take her away to buy her something she wants as a birthday present.
“So Daddy wants to invite me to look for vacation equipment huh?”
“Iya right, you want to not?”
“Mau-tiger,”
“So what about the drama you watched?” Devan asked as he crossed his chest and raised one of his eyebrows.
“Let me continue again after leaving, Dad,”
“Huh direct shopping turn spirit yes, Darling?”
“Hahaha always, Dad. I've always been passionate about shopping,”
“Ya let's go. Daddy change clothes first yes, there is no way Daddy to the mall with formal clothes like this,”
“Okay, Dad. I also have to change clothes,”
Devan rushed to his room to change his formal wear to be a relaxed impression because he wanted to take his daughter to the mall.
And Auristella also changed clothes in her own room with a flowery heart. He will be given a gift. It feels so good. Although a little unwilling to leave the drama that He was watching but He was determined to watch it again later when he reached home.
After using the perfume, take a small bag and fill it with a cellphone and wallet after it came out of the waiting room in the living room, not long after Devan came already with a completely different appearance.
“Daddy always looks younger when it's off work clothes,”
“Ah could have been your compliment yes. Daddy's so embarrassed,”
“I'm serious, Dad. Looks more handsome, more youthful look if you are wearing long jeans, plain shirts, let alone sunglasses. Woah sepeeti has no children,”
“Hahahha where possible. Daddy's already got three grown children all of them even Daddy soon have a grandson,”
“Yes but still looks young. Mean Daddy's life is happy huh? Because he said if ageless life happy, no burden of mind,”
“Yes if the burden of the mind is all, dear. His name man must have had a burden of mind,”
“But rarely yes, Dad? Because Daddy's kids are all grown-ups, they exist, homes exist, savings exist, so what is Daddy thinking again? Oh most jobs huh, Dad?”
“Yes you are right, dear. Let's go now,”
Devan embraces his son's shoulder when they meet Lovi and Angel who have just returned home.
“Wow where are you going? Why not take Mommy? Daddy came home fast yes,”
“Mommy want to come? Come on, then, this is gonna take Auristella to buy her own gear, Mom. Three more days ‘kan Auris leaving for vacation,”
“Come Mommy tagged,”
“Yeayy Mommy tagged,”
“Angel want to come?” Auristella asked Angel.
“Sorry, Auris, I'm not coming?”
“It's okay,”
“Angel should rest do not get tired,” said Lovi.
“Oh yes New Angel also up yes. Okay Angel just rest at home,” said Adrina.
“Iya just rest at home, soon Ean may come, Angel,”
“Yes, Dad,”
Angel saw Auristella, Lovi, and Devan go first and then he rushed to his room to clean up the body after that break.

“Ing to Daddy about Revano or the flower, Daddy asks to be honest,”
Auristella chuckles when her father tries to interrogate her. He cleared his throat and then held his sitting position. He must immediately tell a story while waiting for food to come because it turns out Devan masuh has not exhausted his curiosity.
“Indeed if you get flowers from friends tiaak can yes, Dad?”
“Not allowed, Honey,”
“Ya already why Daddy asked like that?”
“That does not mean not to allow,”
“Hmm yes indeed, so it's from Revano. But he's just my friend, Dad. The flower may be for my encouragement in seeking knowledge,”
“Ah so? You sure?”
Auristella laughed at her daddy question then nodded her head. “I'm honest, Dad. The flower was given not because of a relationship birthday or anything, just give it,”
“Iya Daddy trust,”
“Do not ask again yes,”
“Why? It is not possible if Daddy asks?”
“Hmm no,”
“Auris is worried, Dad, hahaha. Therefore do not be asked continuously,” said Lovi.
“Really?”
“No, Dad. I—just afraid aaja not biaa answer because Daddy is like one of the lecturers in my kanpus, if you can not answer, usually nuka has begun to change, the voice starts flat, the eyes become different. Uh I'm afraid of that,”
Devan laughed at his son's words. Then he rubbed the head of Auristella. “No, Dear. Don't worry, Daddy's not evil and you know that ‘ right? Daddy was just curious, Daddy wanted to know actually you that why to give flowers by him? Are you guys more than friends or what? Dadd certainly needs an answer ‘ right? Daddy needs to know how far you two are,”
“Not far, Dad, still close,”
“Talked seriously by his Daddy instead responded jokingly. Huh this kid really yes,”
Auristella chuckled and raised her eyebrows. Quality time with parents begins. Fortunately, he was out of interrogation.
“So if being a pair of lovers can not?”
“Not yet, Mom. Don't ask me that again, because Mommy already knows the answer,”
“Yes is fine, Mommy ‘kan represents his heart Auris who may want to have a lover in the near future,”
“Ish Mommy is mocking me. Though I'm not—“
“Try him to meet Daddy, about dare not? Talk directly to Daddy if you want more from friends. If in vain dare, wow Daddy quite salute him. If you want to ask you out, you also have to get Daddy's approval even if it's just eating or shopping together,”
“If you want to deal with me, then you have to deal with Daddy too. So ‘kan the concept?” Auristella asked with a puffed-up face. Devan laughed while nodding.
“The destination is only one, dear. Daddy just wants to make sure you're okay, not wrong in making friends or when close to someone,”
“Iya I get it, Dad. Sulu I often feel annoyed because it is like being restricted in terms of association or friendship but now I understand why Daddy, Mommy, and my two brothers do it,”
“Nothing else and not not for your good, dear,”
Auristella smiled as she nodded her head. Now he is grateful to be noticed in such a way by his family. There was a rebellion in my heart. But when he began to realize that the world was not as good as he thought, the world could be cruel to children like him, he began to appreciate the attention given by his family in any form.
“Good to anyone, it's a must. But if it carries poison, what to defend, right? If something has a bad influence on you, do not hesitate to leave, and you must be aware of yourself. If you bring bad influence to others, then you should leave it,”
