Flower Seller Girl

Bloody Bed

Dion waits for Lily to come out of the bathroom playing a posel. There are several incoming messages and one of them is listed as ‘Mbak Ara’. Dion frowned curiously at the contents of the message from his mother. Looked at the delivery time and it was last night.

[Ocle, this is your nephew. Please send auntie no hp, I have something to ask you. Otherwise, give your uncle a minute to auntie ]

[Uncle already gave uncle's phone to aunt, ‘kan? ]

[ Uncle! ]

[ Maian!!! ]

[Uncle, I just wanted to ask auntie if she had given my request to uncle about my wish to have a little sister or not ]

[UNCLE DION!! ]

[Uncle is asleep, huh? Well, tomorrow I'll ask him myself. Good night uncle, good night ]

Ariel sent Dion a message in French, roughly as above.

Dion read the message with a smile until he showed a row of teeth. This is what his wife wanted to say last night. And what makes the man widen the smile even more is, they have successfully tried to make a sister for Ariel. Dion felt a sense of happiness slip into his chest cavity.

The bathroom door rang out. Lily timidly stuck her head out without opening the door perfectly. “Already, Mas.” Then he pulled himself up afterwards and walked towards the clothing room. Too embarrassed to look at her husband for long.

In the dress room Lily looked at her unclothed body. There were red marks on every inch of his body. The girl's cheeks flushed back in memory of last night's incident. Dion touched his body so gently that it could hit the recesses of his heart. For the first time he could not explain in words how happy he was right now.

“Mas, what is still visible?” Lily lifted her shirt collar again. He decided to wear a collared shirt to cover the skin of the neck that there is a red sign of Dion's creation. He was hesitant to have breakfast together. But what reasons should he give, while the family members should not be anyone who misses a meal together while they are at home.

Dion who was putting on a tie turned his eyes on the girl, “no. But you should have your hair cut, let it be covered,” the proposal.

Lily nodded her ass and untied her hair then tidied it up in front of the giant mirror. Feeling tidy, Lily glanced at Dion through the reflection of the mirror. The man stood at the back still with the tie business almost done.

Lily turned and walked closer. “Mas not finished?”

“In the meantime,” the answer without looking. Then Dion took the tie clip and clamped it with the origin and grabbed the watch and put it on. “Come!”

“Wait, Mas! It's less neat.” Lily immediately fixed the tie and also the tie clip that was slanted with tiptoes. After finishing he saw the buttons on the sleeves of Dion's shirt that had not been buttoned. “It also has not been buttoned.” He grabbed Dion's hand and fastened it.

“Sorry, Mom. All this time I never helped prepare the needs of Mas,” Lily regretted. His face changed.

Dion's surprised. She did not expect Lily to say that. After all, he also did not demand Lily to prepare all her needs.

“No papa.”

But still Lily's heart was pinched because all this time he did not want to share his attention with Dion, just remember him not. She knew she was not a good wife at the moment. Then his feet moved and took the suit that Dion had placed on the back of the sofa. And again Lily helped Dion put it on with a little nervousness of not getting used to it.

“Thank you,” said Dion after the navy blue suit was attached to his body. He developed his smile so that his wife would no longer feel guilty. Lily's eyes showed regret.

“Come! Ariel and the others must have been waiting,” invited Dion to stop Lily from feeling guilty.

“Mas, starting tomorrow I promise to help Mas Dion prepare everything necessary.”

“You guys are so old. Ariel until breakfast first because you guys are too long,” chatter mami who actually he will also start his breakfast. It was seen that he had finished smearing his bread with his favorite peanut butter. “Tumben once you guys long,” search mami.

“Mm ... Dion is awake, Mi.” Dion answered. While Lily quietly bowed to resist embarrassment and smeared her bread with jam and ate it. I really want this breakfast to end now even though his stomach is very hungry. I don't want to be interrogated any further.

Papi frowned following with his eyebrows, “tast night we did not get late discussing the project in Bali and immediately went to sleep.” Paying close attention to Dion, “doesn't you schedule a meeting with the board of directors this morning?”

“Not usually once you wake up.”

Dion is no longer chiming. He took fried rice as his breakfast. Lily was almost done eating her bread. The girl is indeed an expert in eating, fast eating is amazing. Next he drank his milk.

“Lily, did you not wake Dion?” Tiara who had finished her breakfast first opened her voice after seeing Lily pressed her milk.

“Mm .. sorry, Mbak.” Back with a sorry face.

“As a wife, we must pay attention to the husband starting from small things such as waking him up, preparing clothes, and-” Tiara glanced at Dion's plate, “also serve at meal.” Focus on Lily again. “We've been here for days but I've never seen you serve Dion.”

Lily's getting drowned in. What Tiara said was a truth she had never done. She is a useless wife.

“Already, Ma'am. Don't mess with that. I was wrong for not being able to sleep last night and finally woke up a long time.” Of course Dion has to find a reason for the problem ‘wake his bad luck’ ends soon.

“But at least Lily woke you up.”

“Iya, Mommy. Don't scold Aunt Belle. Uncle who can't sleep.” Everyone turned their eyes to the little boy, including Dion. Dion's eye beads have warned him not to talk carelessly. But the boy did not seem to want to pay attention.

“Where did you know Uncle Dion couldn't sleep?” ask Tiara.

“Yes, how do you know that your uncle can't sleep?” My mom asked.

Dion was alarmed by what answer his nephew would give him. Until he no longer tasted to continue his breakfast.

“So uncle told me that last night uncle's back itched. Then uncle asked aunt to scratch him.” Everyone is still loyal to hear the continuation of Ariel's story. Lily, the girl asked in her heart when Dion met Ariel. And there was no memory at all in his head about Dion's request scratching his back.

“Aunt Belle scratched uncle's back hard until it bled, until it hit bed sheet–”

“Ariel.” Dion tried to stop Ariel.

“It's okay, Uncle. I just want to straighten out this misunderstanding.”

“Until it bleeds?” mami didn't believe anything like the others. They looked at Dion and Lily in turn.

“Don't be heard, Mi. Ariel is just making up.”

“I didn't make it up. I saw for myself that the bedsheet had blood. Uncle's back was also injured. If you don't believe it, Mommy and Grandma can see for themselves.”

Lily's confused. Dion didn't ask him to scratch his back at all. But about the bloody bed sheet?

Lily's face warmed up. There will be a spotting there. Could Ariel have come to the room while she was in the bathroom?

“Lily, is it true that you scratched Dion's back until it bled?”

Lily raised her face. “Ng-no, Mi. Lily didn't do it,” the girl shrieked followed by a head bobble a few times. Unaware of his collar, he shifted and revealed what he had been trying to hide. The mother sitting in front of him saw that.

“Your neck why? Why me–” Mami doesn't continue anymore. He laughed happily at Dion and Lily. Dion and Lily bowed deeply embarrassed, the others were still in a daze.

“Mi, what's up?”

“Later will Mami tell.” Mami's laughter has not subsided, “Lily, you should not go to college first today.”
