It has been a week Flowers are in the Philippines. Himawan's family who were relatives of Mr. Firmandana welcomed him kindly and openly made it easy to adjust.
Because of her managerial skills and experience as a manager at a supermarket, Riana is trusted by the Himawan family to help their only son manage the hypermarket.
Bunga is very happy because the knowledge he got during college can now be useful.
That afternoon as usual Bunga was observing the progress of his hypermarket. Martin, Mr. Himawan's son, approached him and invited him to lunch.
"It's time to eat. Stay at work." said the long-haired man.
"Nanggung sir. Less is less."
"Can't call me sir. It feels so old. I am younger than you."
Flowers glanced at Martin. He smiles.
"It's in the office. It doesn't feel good not to use a formal call."
"Okay.... If you're out of the office, can you just call me a name?"
Flowers nod.
"Eat yuk! Bye laper!"
"All right!" Flowers turned off her laptop, picked up the bag and stepped out followed Martin.
"Be opposite, let's not go far!" bring Flowers.
Martin just said yes.
They got to where they were headed.
"What do you want to eat?" ask Martin.
Flowers take the menu book and write down the order.
"Do you like eating here?" ask Martin.
"Yes. Because this cafe serves halal food. As you know the people here really like to cook pork. But the owner of this cafe is Indonesian. He doesn't sell pork. I feel safe eating here."
"You're right!"
Their conversation paused when the food came. They eat in silence. When he finished, Martin again invited Bunga to chat.
"It's been a week here. I never saw you call your husband? My uncle said you still have a husband. Are you guys in trouble."
Flowers smiled wryly as her household troubles were alluded to.
"We're giving each other time to think. Maybe by being so far apart we can each think calmly."
"So there's a chance you'll make up again?"
"Hopefully. That's my hope."
"You must love her very much."
"of course. He's my husband."
"It's lucky he got a girl as good as you" said Martin.
"I'm not as good as you think." Flowers stand, "Yuk. It's time to get back to the office."
"Sit down! I have something to talk about. I own the hypermarket anyway, so don't be late."
Flowers sit back.
"What's the problem?"
"It's not an important issue. I just need your help. Tomorrow night will you accompany me to the opening banquet of my friend's new restaurant?"
"Why take me? This kind of event you should take your lover or fiance."
"If there are flowers. So how? It's not good to come alone. This is an opportunity for us anyway. We could be one of the suppliers of goods to that restaurant."
"Well, if there's still business, I want to."
"Cih.Your world is filled with work and work. I really want to be rich." jeloroh Martin.
Flowers only smiled faintly hearing Martin's slurs.
Because only by working can I forget my problems. Until now Mas Kendra has not tried to contact me at all.
"Oh yeah.. Is there a dresscode at the dinner? If there's anything? Let me get ready."
"Nothing. Dress is ordinary. Promise me yes, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Flowers nod. "Yuk back!" Flower stands.
Meanwhile, Kendra who just came out of the hotel Riana was very upset. He was angry even when he arrived at his office.
"Faldi! Faldi's! Faldi's! Why do all the women I love fall into Faldi's arms. That snot boy." cried Kendra.
"Riana turns out you're a real bitch. A cheap woman who lets her body be enjoyed by just any man. You two are the same. Same cheap woman." back Kendra yelled so upset. He ransacked his desk until the files scattered everywhere.
"What did they see from Faldi? Must be his looks and treasure. Damnit damnit! He was younger, more handsome and richer than I was. How can I fight it."
"No. I can't despair. The face is destiny. But treasure? I'm going to work hard to be more successful." Kendra said.
He began to rearrange his desk. Tidying up his messy things. He checked the cooperation files that were piled up on his desk. Kendra began to keep herself busy in her work.
"This is a file for cooperation with Gerry. I need to check the progress of this project. Gerry's replacement is Faldi. From now on I'll take Riana off. For my success. I should be able to. Many women. No Flowers, no Riana, I can definitely get the better of them." back Kendra strengthened her resolve.
A few days later, Kendra made an appointment with Faldi to discuss the continuation of the cooperation he had previously agreed with Gerry.
They promised to meet over lunch.
During the meal, Riana showed her affection towards Faldi. He wanted to strengthen his bad impression in Kendra's heart.
"Darling to have rice on your lips." Riana deliberately rubbed Faldi's lips with her thumb.
"Tock with fingers? Wear this dong" Faldi said as he pointed at Riana's lips.
"You want this? Later in your work space. As usual." said Riana with a typical voice of women who were flirting.
Kendra was looking at the scene in front of her. He cleared his throat to remind them that there were still other humans around. And the world doesn't just belong to the two of them.
"Sorry bang. Habits. If he's near, his innards are just lecherous. It's been very tempting" Faldi said.
"That's your business. It's none of my business." Kendra replied flatly.
"Eh! Babe look! The flower girl sent me a photo. Oh. who's that gondrong guy next to him. Great Flower Ma'am can still hook Filipino guys." Riana deliberately heated up Kendra. He wanted to see Kendra's reaction while assessing whether there was still a sense in Kendra's heart.
Riana's efforts were not in vain. He saw a change in Kendra's face. The man is tense. Her face flushed.
"Ooh, that's Martin. He's a great young man. He's the same age as me but already has his own company. If I just continue papa's business. But he's different from me. He's a real fighter. The only thing that's the same between us is that we've always liked older women."
"Keep me? So you lied when you said you liked me?" Riana pretended to pout.
"In particular you have a different case dear." persuaded Faldi while kissing Riana's hand.
"Have you guys finished making out? Can we now discuss the work?" kendra said with annoyance.
"Yes.Sorry. Please bang."
Soon they get involved with business talks. Nearly two hours later, they met.
"Bang Kendra continue as usual. If bang Gerry's given up on you, I'm the same.
" all right. Let's just end this meeting. Excuse me!" Kendra immediately passed by without saying goodbye to Riana.
"Does he still like to call you?"
"Not anymore, sir. Since the incident at the hotel, he no longer contacted me. He also never went to the office. It turns out I was right he didn't actually like me. He's just obsessed and interested for a while."
"That's because you hurt him. If you accept it, it could be that he will really love you. He is a good and loyal man. Maybe his injuries and disappointments were deep. We don't know what happened to her during her time as Flower's husband."
"Yes. You're right."
"We're back at the office!"
Riana nodded, "Good sir!"
On the way to his office, Kendra's mind was piqued by Riana's words.
"Who's that gondrong guy? It was as easy as he forgot me. He's gone to the Philippines to get away from me."
Kendra held her chest. "Why do I feel pain. When I saw Riana and Faldi I felt angry and upset. But my chest doesn't hurt. Why does it hurt to imagine Flowers forgetting me and turning to another man. When I found him in Faldi's arms, I also felt this feeling. But my anger was bigger then. Is this a sign I still love flowers."
Arriving at the office, Kendra headed straight for her room. He opened the desk drawer and took a photo of the Flower that he had been keeping there for a few weeks.
"How are you doing?" hiss Kendra while rubbing the face in the photo.
...🌹🌹🌹🌹...

And this is the picture Kendra was looking at
Don't forget the traces.
