Flowers for the Prince
Chapter 3 [Flower]
My name is flower, I am an ordinary girl who was born quite special.
my advantage is that I can see the aura of every human being. Although many do not believe in my abilities and most of my friends think I am strange and abnormal but I do not really mind it all.
That's why I only have a few friends who still want to play with me, Dini he is my best friend who had previously accepted the side of me that others find difficult to accept.
This gift I got when I was five years old, I still remember for the first time when I was just fluent in speaking.
It was the day my grandfather died because of his old age. I who was a child and did not understand the meaning of the word died who actually just stared at the smiling face of grandfather in his sleep.
When all my family was crying I just saw my grandfather again and suddenly I saw an old man who had the same face. On the other hand I saw grandfather lying in a crate with the whole family still huddled and drifting in grief.
Grandma whom I had never seen for a long time, suddenly suddenly that day I saw her for the first time after a long time.
"Grandmother" I said to a grandmother I always saw her picture on display in the living room.
He looked at me with a warm and soothing look while gently rubbing my head.
"Today grandma picked up your grandfather" she told me with an expression on my face that was still confused by the situation.
At that time I also saw a large figure in white clothes holding the hands of grandparents.
A smile expanded on Grandfather's face as he watched grandma come and hugged him tightly.
"Grandfather's flower goes, tell your father that grandpa and grandma are happy" said the grandfather who suddenly told me.
I, who was so young at the time and did not understand what death was, just nodded my head at him.
Grandma, Grandpa and the white figure continued walking as suddenly the light from the sky carried them away somewhere.
I just kept quiet and didn't tell anyone what I saw.

"Flower let's get up quickly, today isn't it you have ospek?", asked someone from behind the door of the Flower room who managed to make him open his eyes slightly.
He looks around his room. The ornaments of plants and flowers that fill the flower room illustrate how much he loves plants, especially flowers.
Like the name my grandfather gave him. His journey to become a different man from others makes flowers have no friends and spend more time alone.
He who rarely plays out only spends his time after school to take care of his family's flower shop.
Flowers are the source of life for the Nina family.
The flower garden is a relic of the grandfather he always cared for like a family.
Therefore I am very proud to have a beautiful name called "FLOWER".
There's not a day I spend without stopping to learn everything related to flowers.
From making beauty products, and herbs that his family planted in the family's garden.
A simple life but full of happiness and affection.
There is nothing more grateful than that. His life was already perfect enough for him despite living in simplicity.
Even he still uses a used motorbike after his grandfather to sell flowers or go to college.

I then got out of bed and rushed to clean up and get ready - ready for a new chapter in my life.
My love for plants did not make my general knowledge impaired. Although my grades are not too good but my grades are not too bad either.
"this is your lunch for today" said the mother who then handed the lunch box to her son to bring flowers to campus.
"Thank you mommy, this morning your aura is like fresh peach" I said, teasing mom and saying goodbye as I kissed her hands and cheeks.
Father who had been working in the garden since morning made me not have time to say goodbye to him.
I turned on my old motorbike with all my might and approached the Early house that was not too far from my house.
It just so happened that we entered the same campus, there we majored in English literature because we both like to watch western movies together.
"Excuse me Auntie good morning" I said to Dini's mother who was sweeping the yard.
"Flower, as usual you always look beautiful like the flowers in my garden" said Dini's mother who was able to make the flowers blush in shame.
"ahhhhh..Aunty can aja, this morning the aura of Aunt is very bright may God bless Auntie", I said to return the praise from early mother.
Our close friendship made me and Dini like a brother and sister, even because we often play with the neighbors dub us twins.
I was not an ally if I was a twin with Dini but after I thought - think it's true our faces are more similar because we often play together.
It's all because the items we buy are mostly similar because we buy them together.
From bag hangers, clothes and other knick knacks, we almost have the same taste. Therefore, we often watch movies together because we both love the genre of fiction films from various languages.
"Geez Din, how long the makeup is" I said protesting as I walked into the early room and saw her applying peach-colored lipstick on her tiny lips.
It's just that we are quite different in terms of dressing up, Dini really likes to wear makeup tools that sometimes I don't know what it works for.
I was a plain girl who was very indifferent to appearance, but Dini always forced me to make experimental materials if she had just learned something new in the makeup lessons she learned on the internet.
"Here let your lips not dry" said Dini who began to approach and apply the lipstick she had just applied to my lips.
"Geez it feels weird to eat fried food" I said protesting again.
"don't protest and don't delete it, you look beautiful try here" said Dini told me to stop protesting and pull me in front of the glass.
The moca suit I was wearing was getting more and more uniform and soft as I looked at myself in the glass.
"Beautiful.", I said when I saw my reflection while wearing the lipstick that Dini gave me.
"I told you, you'd love it. This save one for you and wear it okay" said Dini who then thrust her freshly picked peach lipstick inside her makeup drawer.
"have already taken" Dini said again after seeing the expression on my face that wanted to refuse.
"yesterday my sister bought this, she said she wanted to give you one but she was embarrassed to give it to you directly, so she used me as a hahahah delivery device" Dini said in her laugh interlude.
Lucky is Dini's older brother who now works as a Doctor at one of the hospitals in their city.
"Well give my thanks to Lucky, I will wear it with pleasure" I said thank you with a small gift from Lucky.
