That's why Marvel couldn't resist when Keiko came to see him.
“You... the best friend of my life!” answer Keiko.
Marvel who heard the cynical smile, started to get annoyed with Keiko's attitude. “Friends like who asked to cancel the engagement? Do you kiss each other in a friendship? What kind of relationship if among friends there is a tease and some obey his invitation to sleep in one bed, then related bad–,”
Keiko stopped her speech with the index finger she had attached to Marvel's lips. “Stop!” his hand slowly moved down.” It's all my fault, let's just say it's all a mistake you don't need to remember. Sorry!”
“Then what about my feelings? Don't you realize you're playing with my feelings?”
Actually Keiko knew about Marvel's feelings long ago, but he pretended not to know and over time changed no matter until Keiko did not realize that he often hurt Marvel's feelings.
“Your feelings? Aren't you and Bunga getting engaged soon? Then what you're asking me is which feeling?”
“You?” Marvel could no longer bear to say, he let out a long sigh relieving his chest.
“Your engagement ceremony is tomorrow night, so just focus on that!”
“You really want me to get engaged with Flowers?”
“Iya! Whynot? I'm glad to see you guys happy!”
“But your eyes say different things! Kei!”
“My time is up, the auction must have started!” Keiko switched the conversation. “Forget what happened between us, all of it doesn't matter to me! So don't feel like it's going to disturb your mind!” he said lightly, no matter how Marvel felt and put his heart aside. Keiko then walked away.
“But what if it's important to me? What if that night I can't forget?”
For a moment Keiko stopped in the middle of the door and then turned to the side, calmly replying to Marvel's words. “Then...it's your problem! It's none of my business anymore because I warned you!” Keiko continued her steps.
“OK! Do whatever you want but never come or call me to see you! You understand!” marvel exclaimed, his breath gasping after blurting out a sentence that made his chest relieved. The woman disappears behind the door but Marvel is convinced that Keiko heard her words. “If you bother me once more, I make sure I won't let you go again, Kei!! I'll make you confess everything!!”
Obviously Keiko heard all because she was hiding behind the door.

“Uncle Davien?” juliet from a distance.
“Juliet?” his smile was wide welcoming his daughter who was running over. “Oh. Haha... uncle misses you Juliet!” Davien held her in his arms.
“New a few hours ago we parted uncle! Juliet thinks uncle won't come to the party.” Juliet holding her hand invites Davien to sit on the park bench.
“Why? Is there something strange on my uncle's face? Why did Juliet see uncle until like that?”
“Juliet worries uncle, is uncle really okay?” clearly visible from the facial expression of Juliet who is very worried about the state of Davien.
“Aah, uncle is very moved. uncle is fine dear, uncle is happy for your mother and also Uncle Marvel.” Davien looked at Juliet who lowered her head looking very moody. “Juliet? Looks like uncle saw that you're not okay. Uhmm... do you still have nightmares?” his hand rubbed Juliet's head.
The little boy shook his head. “No uncle. Juliet is fine too!” he answered, raising his head and showing off a sweet smile to Davien. Juliet has a wish she cannot say in front of Davien so she chooses to keep it close to her heart.
“Then... now will Juliet help uncle?”
The boy nodded quickly. “Yes, uncle! Tell me what can Juliet help you with?”
“Uhmmm, can you tell uncle where your mother is? There is something that uncle wants to talk to him about!”
Juliet asks Davien to come closer and whispers in her ear.
Davien stepped into the lake not far from the back garden of Mr. Rodrigo's house where the engagement party was held. Passing the path decorated with broken stones the man approached the Flower who was standing on the edge of the lake. Both of his hands were stored in his pants pocket as his steps came to a halt for a moment, staring at the Flower from behind.
“Are you okay?” the man was standing beside the flower.
“He? Oh. yeah of course. It was too noisy, I was uncomfortable. This lake looks calm at least there is still a place where I want to be alone.”
“Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. If you want to be alone I'll go.”
“No! I didn't mean to expel you, I just–,”
“I understand, just relax Flowers.. I just want to tease you” Davien trying to melt the awkward atmosphere. “How about Juliet? Is he still having nightmares?”
“Good, I'm glad to hear it. Feeling relieved as Juliet's condition improved. Then... How about you? It's your engagement day but you look moody.” Davien could see that Flowers were not okay but maybe it was just his feelings.
“Many things I should think about, especially Juliet” Flowers hesitate when the engagement day arrives, is it true that he will really live the next life with Marvel even though deep down it is undeniable that he still expects Davien.
“I'm sure you'll be happy with Marvel, the man who's always by your side when you're down!” a moment of silence Davien accidentally reminded Flowers of the selfishness that had made Davien unable to accompany him since Juliet in the womb. Gh! “I'm also sure Juliet is happy that Marvel will be her father later, regardless of that. Promise me that you'll be happy, Bunga! Since meeting him I'm sure Marvel is a good person despite our misunderstanding, regardless I'm sure he'll make you happy, so don't be moody anymore!” Davien rubbed the Flower's head gently.
His cheeks blushed, his chest pounding as Davien's hand touched his head. “How about you? Can you be happy without me?” oops! ‘What kind of silly question is that? I'm sure Davien must be thinking strangely, why can't I hold my lips!’ Flowers cursed themselves.
Davien smiled faintly as he understood what the Flower was talking about. “If you ask me if I can be happy without you, then my answer is.. can't!”.
Can't be fooled answers from Davien make Bunga happy.
“But I can't get you by my side, Bunga!”
The deg!! The happy feeling a few seconds ago changed instantly, Flowers felt a sudden pain appearing in her chest.
“I'm too scared to make you hurt like you used to.” Maybe you could say Davien is still afraid if accidentally injure Bunga and will make the woman go away for many years as before. “Looks like I'd be calmer if I saw you happy with Marvel.” A lie! If possible Davien wants to live with Flowers until aging. But the fear and worry will hurt his heart again much greater, so despite the weight of Davien trying hard to let go. “Despite that I won't lose responsibility to Juliet. From now on we have to raise our daughter together. That's my promise to you, flowers!” of course as a regret for not accompanying them both since Juliet in the womb.
Not a word came out of his mouth, Flowers just silently looked down not daring to look at Davien's face.
“It looks like I have to go” soon Davien said after seeing Marvel walking towards them. “I will let you two, maybe until the party is over I will accompany Juliet!”
“Do I bother you? Why did you go Davien?” marvel said after seeing Davien move away from the Flower.
“What are you talking about? It is precisely I who interfered with the time of the two of you to stay here!” haha... Davien and Marvel laughed softly. “Then, Marvel?! Can you promise me you'll keep the flowers?”
“Of course, I've even done it a long time ago!”
“Oh, stupid question. Okay, I believe you can do it.. Enjoy the time you two I go first.” Just as Davien twisted his body stepping back to the party, the look on his face turned flat. I hope what he does will never make him regret it. Along with that, a shooting star lit up the night sky.
“Oh, did you see her Flowers?” marvel's words were fixed on the shooting star that had just flashed before his eyes.
“Ha? Uhm... yes I saw it” Flowers are getting moody even he forgot that soon the peak of their party will begin.
“You didn't beg for something after seeing a shooting star?” Marvel closed his eyes with a faint smile, uttering a plea through his mind.
“Ah, yes... I will beg for something later.” Flowers remembered the moment when he was with Davien on the star hill that time. Hope and plead to a shooting star? It will never do Bunga, after his request at that time with Davien did not materialize it turned out to be sad. Since then the flower will never hope and beg again on the shooting star.
Silence, after Marvel opened his eyes his eyes were fixed on the dreamy Flower. Ever since he got there Flowers have always been moody and sad. Gh! The man cleared the atmosphere. “Flower? Do you have the same thoughts as me?”
“Hm?? What is it?” Flowers looked at Marvel who was standing next to him.
“I had time to think that–,”
The dreeet!!
His vibrating phone stopped Marvel's speech. After grabbing his phone that was inside his suit pocket, Marvel stared at his screen. Seeing the incoming message from Keiko instantly his smile disappeared. Marvel tried to ignore not even reading the message. He also wanted to keep his phone in his pocket but Merval got a second message from the same person.
After a long sigh, Marvel finally opened the message from Keiko.
‘Stupid! The Marvel bodoooooh! You're so annoying!’
‘You think I'm coming to your engagement party? Huh! Sorry but I have more important business!’
Just finished reading the second message, Keiko sent a picture, where in the photo Keiko and her friends were seen being in the bar full of drinks on the table.
Instead of being angry Marvel smiled, he replied to a message from Keiko. Only one sentence but able to make the woman cry.
“Have fun, even though I'm a little sad you can't come to my engagement party. Bye!”
The sentence that directly pierced into his chest, across there Keiko who had just read a message from Marvel immediately cried bitterly in a drunken condition.
“What did you want to say? Hey... is there anything funny? You've been smiling to yourself when you see your phone!”
“Oh, sorry Flowers I was just teaching someone a lesson. We continue our conversation which has stopped... A flower? Do you think we should continue this engagement?”
“He?!!”
