Flowers In Summer, Trouvaille 2
Jack
"Oenni.." call Jack again before the girl chooses to run away like a frightened man.
"What am I wrong?" ask Jack to himself.
While not far from there Angel was chuckling amusedly while watching Jack's confused face.
\*
Angel approached the typical Indonesian-faced man with a careful movement, he deliberately used a sneaking mode because he intended to surprise Jack who was being struck by confusion.
"Outside.." cried Angel while hitting hard on Jack's shoulder.
"Baaaaa... ANGEL..!!" Jack screamed in surprise.
"Hahahaha.. It's funny to know Jack. Use the event to call clear cewe-cewe using unni greeting again. Ahaha.."
"Laughter on, you know I wasn't confused. Every time I miss the unni, their faces immediately change like new aliens that." confided Jack with a helpless innocent face.
"B*go loe, unni's calling a girl to a girl. If the guy to the girl should be Noona... Haha..." Angel held onto her stomach which was starting to hurt from tired of laughing.
"Oooooh." replied Dave with his flat face.
"Jude yuk. We home. You brought money, right?" Angel pulled the man's suitcase.
"Light, lots of money."
"Okay, it means we can rent an apartment for you." replied Angel as she stepped up from there. "This is my sugar." added Angel while grabbing the sugar candy in Jack's hand.
"At least I can see you laughing like this. This means you're okay, right, Ann?" ask Jack inwardly while adjusting his pace to Angel.
Suddenly the memories came back to disturb his mind. The smell of blood pierced his nose. The cold, blood-soaked shadow of the body danced back at Jack's eyes.
"Taxi.." Angel's voice pulled the man back to his consciousness. He was stunned watching the cheerful figure that was now standing in front of him.
"Tomorrow Jack." get the girl to pull Jack up in the cab.
Along the way, Jack just kept quiet. His eyes were focused on the scenery along the city road. His mind drifted far away.
"So this town's got you, Ann?" lirih Jack whispered sadly inwardly.
He stared sadly at every shadow that was now entering greeting his retina. The memories turned back.

Jakarta 2017
Jack is happy, finally his best friend Anna has returned from Korea. After almost two months back home, Anna finally agreed to meet with Jack. Honestly for the past two months, Jack has invited the girl to meet many times. The answer always means rejection. This time, however, Jack is finally given the chance to meet Anna, his childhood high school love.
With a primed look and after reflecting many times to make sure the good looks are accurate enough, Jack rushed to a famous cafe in downtown Jakarta.
"Anna.." said Jack while sitting in a chair that had been occupied by his best friend.
"Jack.. how are you." Anna smiled wryly, her voice sounding slightly quivering.
"My news is good. How's yours?"
"I...." The girl threw her eyes away.
"I'm cheap Jack.." Anna said bitterly with a trembling voice. Her red, puffy eyes were enough to prove how much the girl had cried.
Empty and glaring gazes emanated from Anna's two beautiful eyes. A look Jack never wanted. Since their first meeting Jack's days turned into a standby one. Standby to make Anna smile. The girl who used to laugh with him was busy crying by herself. Crying for failing to keep his most precious treasure, heart and honor.
\*
Today, Anna has returned to Indonesia for half a year. The girl tried various activities, but everything was always a mess. Jack was very sad and his heart ached to see Anna being injured day after day.
Just like the other day, Jack is now driving his car to the hostel that Anna lives in. Not to forget the man brought the favorite snack of the friend. Jack just wanted to see Anna smile back and be confident.
Upon arrival at the boarding house Jack attempted to contact the girl. Many times but no answer. Fretting about Anna's condition, the man decides to break down Anna's rented room door.
"CAN....!!!!" Jack ran over to Anna's body, which was now lying on the floor of the room, complete with blood that invites the river.
"ANNA... Wake Ann... Anna.." Jack's scream as he shook his best friend's body, the scent of blood already filled the man's sense of smell made him realize that this was not a dream.
The man was now watching the blood still pouring down from Anna's wrist.
"PLEASE... PLEASE...!!!" Jack cried hysterically inviting the attention of the occupant of the contract.
Anna's room is now crowded, some people do not forget to capture the view in front of her.
"Bad man, I will make calculations with you." Jack promised in his heart while hugging the body of his best friend.

Korean, now**
"Jeez Jack, are you so happy to be in Korea? Yampun wear the crying show again." Angel's voice resuscitated Jack from his memories, not forgetting that the girl's hand moved to wipe away the tears on Jack's cheek.
"Yes An, I'm so moved." Jack lied.
"Hahaha. Why come here?" ask Angel.
"Loe's genesis. Why again?"
"Jeez Jack, you don't have a job?" Angel asked worriedly.
"My work will follow and chase you." replied Jack casually.
"Oh God.." patted the eel slowly. "What sins can I have as stubborn a friend as I think?" Angel continued his sentence while shaking his head in disbelief.
"The priority of my life is now just one Ann, making sure you don't get hurt anymore" Jack said, staring back out the car window.
"Oh yeah Jack... Where do you want to live?" Angel asked to break the silence between them.
"Gue nompang same time yes An..."
"No, don't dong."
"Why can't you? An, you forgot? This is the first time I've been here. What if I'm doing?" ask Jack easily.
"Cannot. Anyway can't stay together. You are my obsession. Where maybe I'm comfortable living in the same house. There will be even more opportunities for you to menggejahatin me." said Angel plain.
"Yaampun An, I've brought you gulali and you're still the same me." Jack put on a look of pity.
"The rope was a bribe to get you to the airport."
"Well, where do I live?"
"A lot of money?"
"Jeez An, you know my booty."
"That's a loe bokap treasure." replied Angel casually. "It's not loe's treasure." he added.
Jack took out his wallet, and threw it at Angel.
"Check tuh, my collection card. Can't use it?"
Angel immediately ruffled the contents of Jack's wallet and smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, as long as you don't block one of these cards, you're safe.".
"So where will I live An?" ask Jack alignment.
"we'll find Jack first.. Loe is not very impatient anyway, bother me to eat gulali aja loe from earlier." protested Angel who was busy with sweet candy in his hand.
"If only one building was with Loe." replied Jack casually.
"Because my purpose here is to make mastiin if you won't hurt again Ann.." she said softly in her heart while resuscitating her waiting in the car seat.
