Black Swan's

"The Voice" Sian Story (Sixty Nine)

        A young woman with her fluttering brown hair seemed to be walking unstuck while fumbling with her wand. His footsteps occasionally came to a halt as his almunium wand hit something solid and required him to shift a few meters to the right. Sighing softly, the woman stood by the side of the road along with the other pedestrians who were about to cross. Although both eyes were not completely blind, but she could not see the objects in front of her clearly, Olivia was only able to see the objects vaguely while feeling them to clarify the shape of the object.

            Twenty seconds later, the red light that was directly above his head turned green. All the pedestrians who were beside her immediately jostled to cross regardless of the condition of Olivia who could not see. For them to live in a big city like this there was no treatment

particular. And that happened to Olivia. Even though he was blind, he still looked the same in the eyes of others. No one cares about her, only a handful of people sometimes feel sorry for her and end up deciding to help her walk or cross in the hustle and bustle of a Las Vegas city like this. Olivia continued to wait patiently while trying to move her legs little by little forward. Today he has to work in a flower shop so that he can meet the needs of his daily life. Life since he decided to get out of the orphanage was really difficult. In the past when he had not found a job, every day he had to walk to and fro just to find a job vacancy that would accept blind people like him. Not infrequently the people he met actually snapped at him because he was blind and they did not want to hire a blind man at all. Even though he is blind, he can do all the work well. He has a strong instinct, so he never makes mistakes or acts carelessly because of his shortcomings. Then, those long days of sadness finally passed. When one day he was walking alone in the hot sun, a middle-aged woman suddenly approached him, giving him a sandwich. Feeling confused, Olivia still received the sandwich while holding the middle-aged woman's arm. Then, Olivia ventured to ask if the woman had a job for her, because at that time she really needed a job to meet her daily life. All this time he lived in a small tenement house in a slum. He bought the house from the savings he had accumulated since he lived in an orphanage. But, the longer the savings money was getting thin because Olivia had to buy various kinds of goods to sustain her daily life. Not to mention if he fell ill, he had to take the savings to go to the doctor and buy medicine. Actually the decision to live independently outside the orphanage is difficult, but he does not want to continue to bother the mother of the orphanage because all his peers have been adopted by rich families, he said, he will never be adopted by anyone because he is blind. Then with a little pleading with the middle-aged woman, finally Olivia got a job as a flower coupler in her shop. Even though it was Madame Han, the middle-aged woman's nickname, felt doubtful about Olivia's performance, but after seeing a bouquet that was so beautiful Olivia's hand circuit, she felt doubtful, finally Madame Han actually allowed Olivia to work at her flower shop. Now after a year of working with Madame Han, Olivia's life slowly begins to improve. Now he can save a little bit

for the cost of his eye surgery. Although he did not know, when the money would actually be collected for his operating expenses, he said, but at least he has tried to collect the coffers of the money little by little so that he can operate both his eyes and see the beauty of the world again.

            Olivia pushed the glass door in front of her while still fumbling the empty air in front of her. The fragrant fragrance of flowers instantly seeped into the woman's sense of smell when she was inside the flower shop belonging to Madame Han. Madame Han's voice calling out to her from the backyard sounded so loud and made Olivia immediately step foot in a hurry to meet the middle-aged woman. He was sure, surely Madame Han was in need of her help, since Madame Han was not usually calling out in such a loud tone if she was not in need of help..

            “Auntie, what's wrong? Does aunt need anything?” olivia asked as she walked closer towards Madame Han. The middle-aged woman quickly pulled out Olivia's hand and forcibly occupied Olivia next to her. His face looked so serious and panicked as well. I don't know what Madame Han is currently thinking, which she obviously looks so panicked and nervous as well.

            “Olivia, we have to be fast. I got an order for ten bouquets of flowers for the opening of a boutique, but I just finished five. You'll have to help me arrange these flowers Olivia, and after this you'll also have to deliver them to the address the woman had written down in the address book. Can you help me?” ask Madame Han in a hurry. Olivia nodded steadily while smiling happily next to Madame Han. Usually if he can do all his tasks well, Madam Han will give him a bonus that is quite a hefty amount for him to put into his savings. In that

it was that he always felt excited when Madam Han got a lot of flower orders like this. In addition, sometimes people who order a bouquet of flowers will also give additional money as payment for the services of Olivia who has delivered their flower orders safely. Olivia then immediately grabbed the flowers strewn in front of her to assemble. Occasionally Olivia had to bring the flower close to her eyes to see the condition of the flower she was currently holding. He did not want to make a bouquet with a defective flower, because it would disappoint his customers, he said, so Olivia always watched it carefully before she began arranging the flowers into a bouquet that is so beautiful and also beautiful.

            “Olivia, don't forget to stick a pink lily in the middle of the bouquet because the woman really likes lilies.”

            Olivia nodded slowly while remaining focused on her flower arranging activities. His skillful lentic hands seemed so flexible as to string each flower stalk together to form a beautiful bouquet.

            About an hour later, Olivia had managed to finish her flower bouquets beautifully. Madame Han then calls Olivia a taxi and helps Olivia to arrange the bouquets into the taxi.

            “Olivia, don't forget to ask for the rest of the payment of the flowers, and this is money to pay for a taxi.” order mistress Han on Olivia. Olivia nodded her head in understanding, and after that Madame Han immediately closed the taxi door loudly while waving her hand at Olivia.

            “Be careful on the road.” shouted madam Han loudly as the taxi started to drive slowly, taking Olivia to the destination address that madam Han had mentioned earlier.

            “Halo, I told you that today I cannot lead the meeting because I have to attend the opening of my beloved's boutique. Reset my schedule and ask those investors to resign until tomorrow. Or they could wait for Aciel to return from the Netherlands if they wanted to.” angered a man in an expensive suit while walking hastily towards into a building so crowded. A few men dressed in bodyguards instantly bowed their bodies respectfully as Sian walked past them while still clamping down on his phone in a huff.

            “Bbaik sir, I will talk about it again with the investors.” said his assistant timidly before Sian disconnected the phone with a huff while slipping the square object into his pants pocket.

            “Sian..”.

            The voice of the lover's scream was so loud that it sounded from behind the stage that stretched along the loby. The canti-eyes smile woman then approached the lover while curled spoiled in the warm embrace of the handsome man.

            “Finally you came, I thought you wouldn't come because you're so busy lately.” Tiffany said happily. Sian smiled gently at her lover while lightly kissing Tiffany's cheek which seemed to be getting more and more blushing after the man landed a kiss there. The flickering flickering blitz lights that were so dazzling to the eyes instantly flooded the mismatched pair as they blatantly displayed their affection in public. Tiffany then pulled Sian's hand backstage to see the dresses that today would be worn by famous models to walk on a mini catwalk during the day.

            “Sian, I'm so happy, I'm finally able to realize my greatest ideals. Not in vain during this time I studied design science in Paris because now I can apply all that science in making dresses.” said Tiffany proudly. Sian smiled warmly at his lover and gave a gentle swab over his head

the lover as affection and pride in his beautiful lover. It's been more than five months that she's been in love with Tiffany, and it's not easy. The beginning of their meeting occurred when they both went to the same high school senior. Sian had no feelings for Tiffany and never thought he would make her his girlfriend. But when they were met at a charity event that could not be attended by Aciel until Sian who had to attend it, a miracle happened there. Tiffany, who greeted him first and looked chatty, made Sian finally decide to give up on the woman. He gave Tiffany his mobile number and decided to get closer to her. Their relationship continued, but

with the consequences they can only be connected through mobile phones or skype because Sian was very busy with his work, while Tiffany was busy following various fashion shows in various countries. The meandering during their long-distance relationship was also quite strange, and not infrequently it had made the relationship they had forged almost destroyed because the nature of the Sian player was not yet completely. Sometimes what Sian regards as ordinary, can not necessarily be something ordinary for Tiffany. Just as Sian was responding to the temptation of a woman in a shopping mall, Tiffany would definitely go straight to her and refuse to talk to Sian. However, with the adult attitude they have, they, they can solve all these problems little by little and in the end the problem actually makes them more mature to address various problems that will alternately greet their lives.

            “You are a talented woman, this boutique will definitely grow and become a famous boutique someday. Will you give a welcome after this?”

Tiffany with a tingly laugh. Sian gave a small smile in response to her lover's remark, and after that she immediately rushed out to look at the flowers Tiffany had ordered. With a mysterious smile, Sian then took out a small red box from inside his suit pocket. Today in addition to the opening day of Tiffany's new boutique, Sian will also propose to Tiffany in front of all invited guests. It feels like their age has matured enough to step into a more serious relationship. Moreover, during this time both of Tiffany's parents also provide support for their relationship and they also strongly accept Sian as a lover who is loved by their daughter. So there is no doubt in Sian's heart to immediately propose to Tiffany because he is also tired of living alone with various women who will only be the warmers of his bed.

            Amidst the hustle and bustle of people crammed into the entrance, Sian saw a girl in a simple dress carrying a bouquet of flowers while carrying a cane to help her walk. In astonishment, Sian continued to observe the woman while looking inexhaustibly at the people who were so indifferent towards the blind woman.

            “Hey, who is that blind woman? Why is he just standing there?” sian asked one of the bodyguards who happened to walk past him. Hearing Sian's voice calling out to him, the bodyguard reflexively stopped his steps immediately and saluted Sian who was standing in front of him.

            “The woman is a flower deliveryman, she delivered the flowers to Miss Tiffany's order and she is currently waiting for Miss Tiffany to pay off the remaining interest payments.” said the bodyguard explained. Almost the bodyguard was about to walk away to approach Tiffany, but his steps soon came to a halt after Sian held her back and told her he would take care of the flowers.

            “Alright, I'll handle the flowers. You, continue your work.” orders Sian firmly. After that Sian immediately walked calmly to Olivia who looked agitated while tapping her feet on the floor bored. Several women who passed by him several times gave a blatant scornful look at Olivia's simple appearance amidst the glamour presented before them.

            “Excuse me, are you the flower delivery man?”

            Hearing the voice of a man next to her, Olivia immediately moved her wand to find out where the other person was. It would be impolite for him to talk to the man without confronting him, even though he is blind and the man is likely to accuse him.

            “Yes, I'm here to deliver the flowers of Miss Tiffany's order. Sorry, have I been facing in the right direction?” asked Olivia without hesitation while still moving her wand. Feeling pity, Sian finally took the initiative to pull the woman's hand to slightly turn her body towards the left because

he was standing right next to the woman's left.

            “Sorry, I was here.” said Sian politely. Olivia smiled shyly at Sian while thrusting a bouquet of flowers ordered by Tiffany. The flowers held by Olivia today are special flowers that will be brought by Sian later, while the other flowers are still in the taxi to be brought by the taxi driver.

            “This is a special flower ordered by Miss Tiffany. The other flowers are still in the taxi and will soon be brought in by the taxi driver. And this is the flower receipt and the note is short of interest payment.” said Olivia while giving some sheets of paper to Sian. He then signed the receipt, and issued several bills to pay for the lack of interest orders. Not to forget, Sian also gave a bonus to Olivia as a sign of gratitude because the woman had delivered the flowers owned by her lover safely. In addition, he was also satisfied with the bouquet of flowers sent by Olivia, because all the flowers arranged there are so beautiful and also very in accordance with Tiffany.

            “It's money to pay for those bouquets of flowers. And this is a bonus for you because you have delivered these flowers on time.”

            “Oh, thank you very much sir. Hope you like our flower bouquets and we hope you will become our flower shop subscription later.” said Olivia happy while slipping the money into her shirt pocket. In her heart Olivia is grateful because today she can increase the amount of her savings with the money given from her customers today. If he continues to get orders for flowers, then it does not rule out the possibility if he can immediately perform surgery for both eyes are almost completely blind.

            “I will definitely order more flowers at my wedding. Then I'll excuse.”

            “Master, wait a minute.”

            Sian paused his intention to leave immediately while staring at Olivia question mark. He thought his business with the woman was done, but why did he suddenly stop his steps.

            “Is there anything else?”

             “Oh no, I just want to ask, is this a fashion show? I hear people keep talking about it, so I feel curious, because I would love to see it.” Olivia seemed enthusiastic. Hearing that, Sian was only able to frown in confusion while looking at the woman in front of him in surprise. Isn't he blind? How unlikely....

            “I suffer from low vision, so I can still see a little. Well, even though it just looks like a shadow.” said Olivia lightly as if she could read Sian's mind.

            “Oh, I thought you were completely..blind.” said Sian a little unpleasant. He then explained to Olivia that this boutique is owned by his girlfriend and today his lover will indeed display a fashion show for his fashion collection this season. Then, Sian drove Olivia to get a seat. His little heart felt sorry to see Olivia who was so cheerful amid the limitations he had. Though since then the people around her busy mocking Olivia's appearance is very ordinary, even arguably if Olivia is very inappropriate to be present at a classy event like this.

            “Well, you can sit here. Hope you enjoy the show.”

            Olivia nodded her head lightly while muttering thanks to the kind-hearted man who helped her so much today. But unfortunately he forgot to ask what the name of the kind man was, because since then the man did not mention his name at all and only mentioned if he was the lover of Tiffany, the owner of this boutique.
