FLOWERS ON A WOUNDED HEART

ADRIAN'S RETURN

That night, after a long time of avoiding contact with his cousin, Adrian finally decided to return to Siska's house.

The atmosphere of a very quiet house welcomed his arrival. After wandering around looking for residents, Adrian finally saw his aunt sitting alone on the side porch while staring blankly at the front.

In silence, Adelia digested all the words of her mother the other day when she and her husband visited.

Although it has been buried long enough finally the problem resurfaced.

Something Adelia did not expect at all, especially for now.

The middle-aged woman's heart rages between wanting to open the story and make her daughter face reality and fight her trauma.

Or bury everything, as he and his family have done all this time so that the only daughter of his puppet can live quietly.

Without any shadow - the shadow of the feared past would shake his heart back.

After a long time sitting and observing Adelia, Adrian who was already anxious and curious about what his aunt was thinking began to open his voice.

" Aunty.", said Adrian.

" Uh...Adrian...when come?" asked Adelia a little surprised to see her nephew already sitting next to her.

" About five minutes ago ", Adrian smiled.

" Aunty has a problem ? " , asked Adrian worriedly.

" I saw a aunt daydreaming. Until - until I was next door, the aunt was unconscious ", he said again while staring intently at the tantenya who looked a little confused.

" Aunty just a little bit bentang Adrian ", said Adelia sadly.

" What's up, aunt...Adrian is ready to be a listener if anyone wants to express ", said Adrian softly.

After taking a few deep breaths and seeing the face of her nephew who was quite soothing, Adelia finally began to tell what became a strange heart to her nephew.

About how little Siska had an accident. Anyone involved in the incident and how traumatized his daughter was in the aftermath of the accident.

As well as the arrival of her daughter's childhood friend some time ago at Riana's house to hear the details of the incident that had taken place thirteen years ago.

Adrian who heard the story from his aunt was a little surprised, because all this time he knew that Siska had lost his memory due to an accident he experienced as a child.

He was not at all aware that there was any trauma experienced by his cousin after the incident occurred.

Maybe the case is almost the same as the one he experienced, but the difference is that the person with Siska is still alive.

Unlike him who saw directly the body of his best friend stiffened with drenched blood in front of him.

Perhaps it was because of the similarity that he and Siska could be very close as they are now.

They can even feel sad and happy with each other.

The closeness was built since they were the same - the same undergoing therapy abroad.

At that time Adrian who tried to eliminate his trauma after the incident of the death of his best friend.

While Siska underwent health recovery and memory recovery after the accident.

Although the memories present are not all intact, but he can be better thanks to the therapy he runs and the support of the family and Adrian who is always beside him.

Adrian and Siska are the same - the same undergoing therapy, the same - mutually strengthen and support each other so that they can recover immediately and live a normal life as usual.

" Did you remember the name of the little boy?" asked Adrian curiously.

" If it's not wrong to name Ke..keenan who is it.." said Adelia trying to remember.

" Keenan.", said Adrian curious.

" This name seems familiar to me.", inner Adrian trying to remember - remember.

" If he had met grandma, then soon he would most likely have met Siska soon. But aunt isn't ready to tell Siska everything at the moment. Especially after the issue of Tedy, aunt did not dare to bring up something that could make her sad ", said Adelia with eyes began to look glassy.

Adrian quite understand the turmoil of the heart experienced by the tantenya.

Patiently he tried to calm his tantric who still looked furious.

Gently grasped Adelia's two hands so that the tantenya was strong to face everything.

Adrian is well aware of the feeling his tantinya is feeling right now .

Because he himself also felt the anger, sadness, and disappointment experienced by cousins and their families due to the actions of Tedy to them.

Not wanting the same incident to repeat itself, this time Adrian really had to search in detail all things related to Keenan, Siska's childhood friend who had an accident with him first.

" This time I have to find as much detail as possible. I don't want it until Siska gets hurt again like that time ", Adrian's mind is sad .

Siska who had just come immediately ran small towards the side porch of the house when she heard the sound of someone she really missed being there.

Although a little surprised by the presence of Adrian that night, but he also could not hide the longing that had been harbored.

After gently tucking her cheek, Siska immediately burst into Adrian's embrace as she had done when she hadn't seen her cousin for a long time.

Warm and comfortable, that's what he felt every time he was in his cousin's arms.

Adrian who was surprised was finally able to smile sweetly and instantly scramble - random Siska hair that was in his arms.

" You'll stay here right..don't go anymore right.", asked Siska with her puppy eyes.

" This time I will stay here, accompany you and take care of you ", Adrian said as he gently stroked his cousin's cheek.

Siska who saw her cousin's attitude had returned like she used to smile happily.

Inhaled in - in the body scent of Adrian who had longed for. The smell of musk is masculine and soothing.

" Stay like this and never change ", inner Siska is calm.

Adelia who saw her daughter's spoiled attitude towards her nephew could only smile happily.

" May my daughter be able to get a man who can understand and love her like Adrian", Adelia was happy to see the two people she loved so much together.

Then from behind the door, one of the servants in the Francisco home came to inform him that the night tomb was ready.

And the three of them had been waiting for Francisco in the dining room.

It did not take long, the three of them immediately went to the dining room before Francisco was angry.

Although Francisco has always been slow and understanding in everything. But when it comes to eating, he is always disciplined.

Because for him food is a source of energy for humans to be more productive and maintained health. For that he will be very angry if someone underestimate the business of eating.
