After finishing making the sauce, Flowers prepare the spaghetti that has been cooked first. While Davien looked busy cleaning the sauce that littered his shirt in the sink.
The flower placed two plates filled with spaghetti on the dining table one for Davien and another for himself. “Sit you eat first, give me the shirt let me clean.” Flowers reached out waiting for Davien to give his partially wet shirt.
Davien looked doubtful but he finally complied with the wishes of Bunga. “Is this not bothering you?”
“No, you calm down.” His cheeks blushed because they had to face Davien who was bare-chested.
“Alright!” he said as he walked to the chair and sat down.
For a moment Flower was still standing there squeezing Davien's shirt, trying to regulate his irregular heartbeat. After that step go wash his shirt in the washing machine. After a few minutes he returned to the dining table, enjoying dinner with Davien just the two of them.
“Maybe it took about an hour waiting for your shirt to dry” was really in a very awkward situation just alone with Davien, what else the man was not wearing clothes.
“Hmm... It's okay! I'll wait until my clothes dry.” A moment Davien fell silent thinking of something before throwing a question to Bunga. “I heard Keiko and Marvel are getting married the day after tomorrow, seriously you okay Flowers?” the tip of his eyes slowly led to the face of the Flower sitting across the table.
“Uhm... I'm glad to hear they finally got together!” Flowers ruffled his food, only two or three mouthfuls were seen coming into his mouth.
“That's not what I asked, but. didn't you want to get engaged. Your feelings... is it really okay?”
“Of course, from the beginning I also felt they would be together. I'm happy for them!” instantly his hands were glued together, realizing that the question was a trap to find out what kind of feelings he had for Marvel.
“Then...what was your purpose when you received an application from him if you knew Marvel would be happy with Keiko?”
Gluey! The flower gulped down his hard-earned saliva, starting to fidget as the conversation between them grew more and more serious. “Uhm, are you done eating? I'll wash the dishes!” Bunga tried to distract and avoid Davien's questions that he could not answer.
Davien watched as Bunga began to get out of the chair and walk towards the sink. She was busy washing dishes there. “I know you don't actually like Marvel!” sahut Davien's.
The flower was nervous to the point of almost dropping the plate, deliberately pretending not to hear Davien's words, she instead lit her tap even bigger hoping that the sound of the water would help Davien not suspect that he was pretending not to hear. After finishing washing the dishes Bunga was about to go take Davien's shirt but when turning his body, the woman was surprised by the presence of Davien who was already standing right behind him. “Eh!” his chest moved quickly along with his breathless breathing. So surprised Bunga to move quickly step back deliberately put distance between them but it turns out he can not stay away because of the sink in the back. “You! Surprised me!”
Unlike Davien who looks calm, he is, had crossed but now his body slightly bent in front of the Flower with both hands were on the lip of the sink right beside the right and left body of the Flower like deliberately locked the woman so as not to dodge anymore. “What exactly are you planning Flowers?” her back moved forward forcing Bunga to pull back further but as she could no longer move she finally held her chest with both hands.
Tiit tiit! Sound coming from the washing machine as a sign the machine has finished working. “Davien! S.it looks like your clothes are dry this is the Flower's chance to get away from her. The step is fast to the washing machine, lucky to have a sophisticated machine that when put in a dirty state then when out the clothes are neatly arranged like they have been ironed. Flowers pick it up after the lid of the washing machine opens automatically and display Davien's clothes are clean no traces of sauce in the slightest.
“I'll wear it here!” said Davien immediately made Flowers surprised for the second time.
“Gosh! Why are you so happy to surprise me?” when neutralizing his hunting breath, Davien takes over the shirt from his hand.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you” he said gently.” Davien began to put on his clothes, again doing so in front of Bunga deliberately wanting to make the woman ashamed.
After this Davien will say goodbye home it is impossible for Bunga to just go into the room. He then waited for Davien to finish wearing his shirt. Just the two there with the man who was justifying the buttons of the shirt felt so awkward, it was obvious Flowers were so nervous and embarrassed from his blushing cheeks.
His hands are still busy buttoning his shirt his eyes are occasionally diverted to the flowers that began to misbehave, sometimes scratching his nape sometimes also touch his reddened ears. Davien smiled faintly seeing the woman blushing. “After this did you go straight to sleep?” he said to melt the atmosphere, deliberately so that Bunga is not awkward when in fact he was happy to see his shameful behavior.
“I.iya when you're done I'll take you out.”
Davien had finished buttoning his shirt but he did not leave immediately, being in an awkward situation just alone with Flowers made him not want to miss the moment.
Attention Flower diverted to the buttons of his shirt that looks untidy, missed one button makes the collar part next to height. Flower chuckled at Davien's appearance, it seemed like the man was unaware.
“Eh, why are you smiling?” Davien was confused because he did not know the cause of the flower laughing softly at that time. But his chest was made to thump when the Flower approached him, usually he who moved first but now the Flower came to him without being asked. “Why you?” his question was astonished even more so the two hands belonging to the Flower were directed at him looking like he wanted to hug. His cheeks instantly turned red.
“I just want to help tidy up the buttons.”
“Oh!” he complained to throw a sigh of relief, he thought the flower would turn aggressive so that Davien hangers afraid of not being able to refuse and will end in regret if he can not control himself. But it turns out the assumption was wrong.
Flowers are busy justifying the buttons one by one, his feelings were calm but again made nervous after knowing Davien always looked at his face. Gh! His dehem deliberately neutralized the feeling. “Now it's neat!” Flowers were about to step back to where they were but Davien had already grabbed his hand first.
“Davien?” finally the Flower dared to return her eyes. Trying to let go of his hand held tightly by Davien but Bunga is unable to do because his grip in theara is increasingly sharpened.
“You haven't answered my question, Bunga! When you accepted her proposal..Have you really forgotten me? Am I really no longer in your heart?”
‘What exactly do you want Davien? Why is it like this after saying that you don't want our relationship to go back to what it used to be? Why are you acting as if you're giving me hope that you want some distance between us?’
“Why are you quiet? Tell me how you really feel about Marvel? For 7 years you were together.When we were in trouble but you chose to be with another man, you let Marvel be by your side without giving me a chance to fix everything. Do you want to use reason for my mistake to punish me?” as long as Davien said no use of his emotions at all, afraid to disturb Juliet who was sleeping then he tried to control himself as much as possible.
Her lips smiled cynically feeling funny with Davien's attitude being so naive. As forcefully as the Flower pulled his hand away. “What exactly do you want Davien?”
A moment of silence shortly afterwards Davien spoke without hesitation in his heavy voice. “I want us back like we used to!”
Instantly the flower was stunned silent to hear his love. ‘How can I believe what you said this time? Who are you, Davien? I barely recognize you! Which one should I trust? Your words that night, your attitude so sweet to that woman? Which one should I trust? Seeing you be nice to other women makes me think that you have changed, not the Davien I knew that would be cold to every woman he met!’
“Flower? Why are you keeping quiet? Answer me!” davien's two hands were on his shoulders, resuscitating the Flower from the daydream that was stirring his mind.
Dilanda confusion Flower is no longer able to think clearly, just want to immediately go into the room and be alone. Slowly the Flower removed Davien's hand from both his shoulders. Ask the man to leave the apartment immediately. “I'm tired Davien, go home.. You also have to rest!” after saying that, the flower stepped first towards the door without giving Davien a chance to hear the answer.
***
Davien had been standing in front of the door while Bunga was preparing to close the door. They were silent, no one spoke for a moment.
“Be careful on the road!” The flower deliberately said as a sign that Davien must leave immediately.
“Wait!” Davien tried to hold the door close.
But from the inside the flower reopened it. “Why?” his voice was soft, his eyes looked alert looking at Davien who was already standing close in front of him. His cheeks frowned when the man touched his face.
“Good night, Flowers!” Davien was about to kiss her lips but the woman refused with her head down. She smiled after receiving rejection from Bunga. “So... as it seems?” muttered.
“He?” Flowers look confused.
“No, it's okay.. rest up!” not out of sense, this time Davien landed his kiss on the forehead. “I'm home!”
Davien had left and Bunga had also closed the door but, the woman was still standing there.
‘I want us back like we used to!’
That sentence was frustrating.
The next day after lunch hour Flowers got word that shooting commercials were starting. Not wanting to lose the first moment her daughter plunged into starting her career as an advertising star, Bunga accidentally came to the shooting location.
Incidentally because there is no shooting outside the room then shooting is done in the studio. Luckily when he arrived there, Bunga could still see the shooting process, now Juliet is doing some photos with Rebecca. The studio is very spacious, but other than Juliet there are other things that attract his attention, none other than the existence of Davien who was sitting on a bench staring at the monitor screen with the director.
“OK, you guys change clothes first after this we continue the second photo!” director exclamations.
“Excuse me, but may I take a photo with the president before changing clothes? Honestly, I feel flattered because this time the president directly oversaw the process of shooting advertisements... Director can I capture this moment?” said Rebecca with her style is coquettish, but it is precisely that makes everyone anxious and more like it.
“Yeah Rebecca, why do you have to ask permission from me? Ask the president for permission, but I don't think the president will refuse. Isn't that president?” sahut director.
Everyone in the room cheered for a moment crowded to see the interaction of Davien and his artist. While the flowers just silently watched them.
Maybe it's commonplace what else is a photo with an artist who is under the auspices of his agency, but not for Flowers. It seems like the ordeal this time is heavier. Her patience is getting tested when Rebecca not only takes pictures with Davien, the woman also invites Juliet with them. Put Juliet in the middle then take pictures like a small family filled with laughter.
Not just Davien but Juliet, the little princess was also overjoyed clearly from her beaming face not to mention her laughter while joking with Rebecca and Davien when on the other hand the photographer took their picture.
His chest was getting claustrophobic barely able to breathe seeing the sight. That's what Bunga wants, enshrining the happiness of his small family into the wishes of Bunga long ago. Feeling happiness and dreams taken away in plain sight makes the Flower can no longer last longer in that place. In order to maintain her sanity, Flower chose to leave the studio.
But his efforts out of there actually attracted the attention of everyone, especially Juliet. When the flower was about to come out the attention of the little boy was fixed to the light from behind the door.
“Mother?!” yells.
The shooting process was stopped, everyone turned their eyes to the Flower without exception.
Her steps came to a halt, it would feel awkward for her to just leave then Bunga tried to greet everyone before stepping out. “Sorry, I.. didn't mean to interrupt the shooting process. Again I'm sorry!” Flowers bow as a form of guilt.
“Flower? Wait!” davien tried to stop her but Bunga left.
***
“Flower wait!” Davien managed to catch up to him, grabbing his hand and grasping it tightly. “I called you some, didn't you hear my voice? Are you intentionally ignoring me? Why?”
“Davien I don't want to argue with you anymore, I'm so tired? Where is my mistake? Why can't I avoid you? Why can't I ignore you? What exactly are you doing to me? You want to torture me again?”
“Flower I didn't mean it like that, I just wanted to know–,” he said stalled.
“Know what? Know about my feelings? Ha's? Answer Davien!!” but the man just kept quiet to let the Flower vent emotions because this was what he was waiting for. “You won Davien! You made me jealous! You managed to repay your frustration because for 7 years I disappeared without news! Is this what you want to hear? You won Davien! You won!!! I've never liked Marvel.I've never forgotten you either! I always keep your name in my heart! What else do you want to hear? My feelings from long ago until now nothing has changed, it still remains the same. Me. I, I like you! You hear Davien? I LIKE YOU!! Please stop making me jealous! Stop being sweet to other women. Stop showing off your smile to them! I don't want to see you go any further! You can only be sweet to me, not to other women!! You understand!” her crying almost broke but stopped as Davien hugged her.
“Why is it so hard to make you confess your true feelings, Bunga?” Davien hugged her tightly, buried her face in the cross of the neck then inhaled the fragrance of the Flower's body, quenching her longing thirst all along.
“He?” Flowers were stunned at the confusion of his attitude. “Davien wait–,” he tried to push Davien's body but the man refused.
“No Flowers! Let me hug you! Tell me again what you just said.. Let me hear it!”
Flowers try to digest what really happened, because some days he was confused by Davien's attitude. “T.but Dav–,”
“Please... I just want to hear it!” so happy Davien was no longer able to hold back tears, but he deliberately buried his face in his neck so that the Flower did not see.
Although still a little confused but when Davien hugged her tightly instantly made the doubt in his heart just disappear. Without a second thought the flower complied with Davien's request. “I... like you!”
“Then... will you marry me?”
