Flower Seller Girl

Think of It Like a Bladder Mother

Lily went into the room. Plunge the body into the bed by leaning over, hiding the head behind a pillow. His face was still red and held the shame because of all the contents of his heart he conveyed in his favorite book. Curse his negligence that put secret goods in any place.

Waitaminute! Last time I put it where, huh? In the bag? Yes, in my bag. How dare Mas Dion touch even to dismantle my goods. While I've never flicked anything, except this bed, yeah. He's an outrageous!

Move your position on your back and think again.

But when did Dion take it? The lack of work is very he takes it on purpose, he is where there is time for ignorant. He will always focus on his work, his face is serious. Duuh!

Lily kept thinking why her beloved diary could change into the man's hands. Moreover, Dion read all his writings there.

He got up and walked back and forth.

“He must have lied. He couldn't have read my diary. Where maybe he is interested in reading it,” murmured steadily but still pacing.

“But if he really reads it, how?” Panic again, “I will write in the diary if I like it. I'm embarrassed.”

Suddenly he turned sad and riled up, he was sure Dion would not return his feelings. Who is he anyway? He married the man because of his parents' wishes. Not married for reasons of liking and wanting each other.

The man obviously didn't like it. Dion thought of her as a little girl. She likes mature and elegant women like the women she saw at the wedding. Remembering that his heart was broken. But that is the true reality.

The girl finally fell asleep after getting tired of thinking with all the possibilities.

The morning came. Lily woke up to the sound of water from the bathroom. He blinked his eyes and squirmed for his consciousness to gather. Then sit down and justify his hearing if he does hear the gurgling of water.

Not at all. He did not hear the sound of water. Maybe he was just dreaming. He looked at all the corners of the room, there was no one. He also saw a window covered with white curtains, outside it was bright.

What time is it now?

Not yet had time to see the wall clock, the sound of the bathroom door rattling was heard. Quickly the girl lay down again and pulled the blanket over her head. Breath hunting. Dion's out of there. It turned out that the sound of water he had heard was real, not a dream.

“Ehm.” Dion cleared his throat, Lily remained in position. Not wanting to move aka pretending to sleep.

“I know you're up.” The girl remained silent.

“Your daily book on the table.”

Still quiet.

“Alright, I'll go.”

Dion walked up, opened the door and closed it again.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lily flicked the blanket from her head. How surprised he was because Dion was still there and walked up to him.

I'm bullied!

Lily covered her face with a blanket. After all, the girl still had shamed veins.

“Prepare, we will drop off mami and papi to the airport.”

“I'm not coming,” he replied from under the blanket.

“Why?”

“Mm, I'm going to school.”

“Ngapain?”

“Kangen aja to school.”

“Today the school is closed. It's a red date. Get ready, we'll soon deliver mami and papi.” Dion turned around to leave.

The girl immediately sat down. “I can't come. I'm not feeling well!” he shouted in a loud voice. Lily, with that voice, who would believe her if she wasn't feeling well.

Dion smiled wryly without turning away, “fifteen minutes. In that time you should have already descended to the bottom.” Walk again.

“I don't want to!”

Dion stop again, “ini request mami. Do you want to make your mom sad?”

“Iihh.”

***

In the car to the airport. The men sit in the front and the women in the back. Dion's driving the car.

“Honey, you will be brought by-by what?” ask Mami after a long time they are silent. Mami stroked Lily's long dangling hair and was still damp.

Lily who had been focusing on looking out immediately turned her head. The woman who remained beautiful despite her age next to him was looking at him smiling.

“Lily don't want anything, Mi. Lily just wants Mami and Papi to come home healthy and safe.”

My mother is developing a smile. Lily's body and was carried in her arms. “Mami love you, Darling.”

“Lily also loves Mami,” said the girl and returned a hug mami.

“Where have you been?” ask Mami again after their embrace. Mami deliberately invites chatting so that this long journey is not boring.

“Meaning Mami?” The girl did not understand.

“I mean Mami, you've been to any country or to which city, it's.”

“Oh. Lily's never been abroad, Mi. And Lily if out of town most also to the village, to the home of grandparents and grandparents. It was also back then, when grandparents were still alive.”

Papi looked back to see Lily, while Dion looked in the rearview mirror. I don't know what they meant to look at Lily at the same time. Maybe feel pity, pity or something else.

“If you mean Mommy's holiday, Lily likes to go with friends on school holidays. And we go not far, in this city aja,” said the girl again with a smile sumringah.

Papi and Mami looked at each other. Their eyes were like saying something.

“Indeed there has never been a tour event from school out of town or out of the province, so?” Mom curious.

“Actually the time of separation SMP exists, Mi. Tour to Jogja. But Lily doesn't want to come.”

“Why don't you want to come?” Mami is getting curious, as are papi and Dion. Evidently with the silence of the two men from earlier, no chatter was created between them. They sharpened her hearing, not wanting a single word to be missed from Lily's lips.

Lily bowed, “that's because my mom died. Lily didn't want to go far from me. Lily is afraid papa will also go stayin Lily.” The boy's cry almost spilled. For some reason every time I remember my mom, she is sad.

Mami's heart trembled, pulling Lily's body back into her arms. Kissed Lily's face and head shoots. Her maternal instincts came out. As a mother, she knew the daughter-in-law missed her mother's affection.

“From now on, Mami isn't just your in-laws. Think of Mami as your birth mother, yes, dear. If there's a problem, tell Mami, okay?”

Lily nodded in Mami's arms. Papi looked at the two women with a smile. Dion turned his face to the side of the car window. He was increasingly aware of how valuable the girl was to Mr. Miko.

“Dion, you take good care of Lily! You guys should get along like last night.”

“Mm, last night?”
