Flower Seller Girl

Mr. Miko, Adnan and Axel

After the incident at the stop, Axel changed. He became more silent and locked himself in the room. The child who usually talks a lot and likes to judge his sister is now not seen anymore.

His parents failed to guess what happened to his son until he changed his attitude. When asked, the answer is always ‘not anything’.

“Already let it go, Mom, his name is also a boy. The most love problem. It's normal to be upset, because soon graduation and he won't meet again with doi.” That sentence that his daddy Axel uttered to his wife who kept worrying.

Axel called Lily twice but was not picked up. After the ringing of the second call ended, the boy got a text from the girl he loved that contained;

Axel, now I'm a married woman. It is not good to be in frequent contact with other men. I hope you understand my position. Sorry for not telling you from the beginning.

Are you happy with her? Do you love her? (Axhel)

So long waiting, Lily has not returned the message.

Axel decides to meet Lily at the flower shop. Her curiosity about Lily's wedding was huge. Even if the girl is not there, she can ask Mr. Miko for an explanation. No more fear for Lily's father. They had met and talked before.

***

“Pa, is Lily in the flower shop? Adnan misses him, Pa,” asked Adnan. Yesterday Adnan just returned to the capital after a long time in the village to help take care of his sick father. Mr. Miko allowed him to stay there for a while until his father was completely healed.

Papa realized. No one has told Adnan about his daughter's marriage yet. Papa also knows how Adnan feels about Lily because Adnan himself once told papa.

“Adnan ..” Papa pause. It was hard to convey this fact to a man who was an adult, maybe three years younger than Dion.

“What's up, Pa?”

“You know, right, if Papa already thinks of you like his own son?”

“Of course, Pa, I know.” Adnan frowning, “what's up, Pa?”

Before papa continued again, suddenly a shout sounded from the direction of the door.

“Lily!” call someone who is none other than Axel. The teenage man called out Lily's name after entering. Axel told Sinta that the person he was looking for was not in the flower shop. Maybe it was in the cafe, as Bu Sinta told him.

Adnan swiftly welcomed the guest because it invited the attention of other visitors. While Mr. Miko stood in surprise staring at Axel behind the cashier's desk.

“There can I help?” ask Adnan politely to a disrespectful guest.

“I'm looking for Lily. Is he here?” Axel's eyes turned here and there looking for the figure he wanted.

“Sorry, you are ready, yes?” Adnan asked in full detail.

“I Axel. I'm his school friend.” Axel saw Mr. Miko. The teenage man quickly walked there and followed Adnan.

“Om, Lily where?”

“She is not here.” Papa could feel Axel's sad eyes also sharp. Highlight the eyes that want honesty, different when they first meet full of hospitality.

“Om, is it true Lily is married?” axel asked with a deep look.

Mr. Miko took a breath. These two men before him were the ones who loved his daughter. To avoid the inconvenience of visitors, papa called one of the maids to look after the cashier. Then papa took the two people who were possessed by many questions to his room.

The three of them were already sitting in the room in question. “True, Lily is married,” said papa.

Both men look frustrated after hearing papa's first sentence. Adnan clenched his hands tightly and Axel rubbed his head many times. Papa could sense their deep disappointment.

“How did the wedding happen, Pa? Is there a man who ruined Lily first?” Adnan thought Axel was silent. Little wonder because the man next to him called Mr. Miko with ‘papa’. Lily's an only child.

“Of course not,” replied papa quickly. “Papa who wants Lily to get married fast.”

Adnan is hard to believe. During this time Mr. Miko forbade Lily to date, everyone nearby knew it. It does not make sense that until Mr. Miko wants his daughter to get married at a young age.

“If Papa wants Lily to get married quickly, why marry her to someone else, Pa? Why didn't Papa marry me? You know I love Lily.”

Axel. Is it true what he just heard. It's not just him who wants Lily.

“Pa, if only Papa had not prevented me from approaching Lily on the grounds that she was still in school, I would have been ready to marry her.” Adnan's eyes glazed over. The guy's frustrated not playing. Half his life was lost.

“Adnan, Papa thinks of you as his own son and Lily also thinks of you as his sister. Maybe Papa will marry you to him. And after all Papa married her for some reason.”

Quick talk, “Pa, Adnan and Lily are not siblings. Is it wrong that Adnan wants to be with Lily for life?” Adnan stared at the focus of Papa's eyes. The man spoke very sincerely. “If Papa thinks of me as a child himself, why not tell me in advance about Lily's wedding plans? If only this kid hadn't come, Papa probably wouldn't have opened the sound.”

Papa is at a loss for words. It's hard to explain all this.

“Pa, do you know that I have been waiting for Lily all this time? I convinced myself to remain patiently waiting for him until he finished school and reached his goal. I've even taken out a house for us to occupy later. But now?” Adnan's voice was shaking.

In the heart of the most sad papa. It turns out that much Adnan's love for Lily. But papa also does not deny that his daughter-in-law, Dion, is the best for Lily. The marriage was also his wife's last wish.

Looking at papa who just silent, Adnan standing, “Pa, Adnan resign.” The man came out disappointed, angry, sad, all in one.

“Nan, Adnan, don't do this!”

But Adnan still passed leaving Mr. Miko who called his name.

Axel gasps. In reality he sees there is greater love for Lily than his love for her. She wondered if she really loved Lily.

“Om, Axel back home.” The teenage man finally opened his voice after a long time of being a listener. It could not be defined how he felt now after hearing Adnan's honesty about his heart.

“Be careful on the road.”

Adnan was right with his words, papa found his uniform on the cashier's desk.
