I Want to Be Loved

Stories of the Past

Flora was very enthusiastic about packing the items she would take on vacation to America. The plan is they will leave the day after tomorrow. Flora's heart is very happy when she has the opportunity to vacation together, her husband and prospective children.

“You're happy, Son. We're going on vacation with your papa?” Flora rubbed her still flat stomach. He spoke as if the prospective child in his stomach could respond to his words.

While putting her clothes and husband in the suitcase, Flora suddenly heard her phone ring. Flora picked up the phone that was on the dresser. Flora saw an unknown number appear on her phone screen.

Flora's frown gnawed as she looked at the unknown number. At first Flora did not want to take the call. However, her curiosity made Flora finally accept the call.

“Halo ... Who is this?” flora asked as she had already received the call.

“....”

“You! What was? Why do you want to meet me?” ask Flora.

“....”

“Alright ... I'll see you soon.” After saying that, Flora ended her call.

Flora finished packing and took a quick look at the clock hanging on the wall of the room. Time shows at 2pm. Flora decided to immediately prepare to meet someone who had just called her.

To be honest Flora was curious, what did that person want to talk about? Until he forced her to meet him.

Finished preparing Flora to send a message to her husband. Flora asks permission to go see the person who just happened to be Rossa.

After getting permission from her husband, Flora immediately walked out of her room. With a slow step Flora walked down the stairs. Arriving at the ground floor Flora asks Aunt to call Mr. Roni, her driver.

Meanwhile, Flora sat at the dinner table eating pieces of fruit that she took from the refrigerator.

“Mother calls me?” ask Mr. Roni.

“Iya, Sir,” replied Flora. “Please take me to the jasmine cafe which is not far from my husband's office yes,” pinta Flora.

“Good, Mom. Then I prepare the car first,” said Mr. Roni.

Mr. Roni immediately went from the dining room to heat the car to be used to drive the employer.

Flora had already finished a few pieces of fruit, after which Flora told her aunt to leave. Flora stepped towards the terrace of the house.

“Aready, Sir?” ask Flora.

Mr. Roni who was cleaning the dust on the body of the car with a duster turned his head when Flora called him.

“Already, Bu.” Mr. Roni stopped his activities and opened the car door for Flora.

Flora got into the car and sat in the back passenger seat. Roni got into the car and sat in the steering wheel. Moments later, the car drove out of the mansion.

Along the way Flora sat with her chin propped up with her hands. He looked outside his car. Her thoughts continued to drift, Flora thought about what Rossa wanted to talk about.

Flora kept thinking about Rossa until she didn't notice it when she reached her destination.

“Bu, we have arrived,” said pak Roni.

“Eh, yes ...” Flora turned her head and saw that the car she was riding in had stopped in front of the cafe.

“Thank you, Mr. Roni.” Flora got out of the car and into the cafe.

Flora circulated her gaze, Flora's eyes did not see Rossa's whereabouts. Flora decided to sit in a chair close to the cafe window. His hand reached into the bag to send a message to Rossa.

Flora: I've arrived at the cafe.

Flora sent a message to Risa's mobile number.

There was no message from Rossa.

Rossa: I am arriving soon.

After reading a message from Rossa, Flora called one of the waiters at the cafe.

“There can I help you with, Bu?” ask the waiter.

“I order mango juice yes,” pinta Flora.

“Good, Mom. Is there anything else?” ask the waiter.

“Not ... meanwhile alone,” replied Flora.

“Good, Ma .. in his order,” said the cafe's waiter.

After taking down Flora's order the cafe waiter left Flora's desk.

Flora sat looking out of the cafe. A lot of cars run in the street in front of the cafe. Flora repeatedly saw the time in the clock that was circular on her wrist, it was about 15 minutes she waited for Rossa.

“This is the order, Bu.” The cafe waiter placed the mango juice in front of Flora.

“Thank you,” said Flora.

Flora drinks mango juice with a straw. Sometimes Flora clucked when Rossa did not come.

“What he is pranking me,” Inner Flora.

“Flora, sorry I'm late. There was a little traffic jam earlier.”

Flora turned her head when she heard someone call her name. Flora's eyebrows shot up next to her when she saw a woman standing before her. Flora looked at Rossa's already big belly.

“Hai Flora ... how are you?” ask Rossa.

“Hi also,” sahut Flora. “What are you Rossa?” ask Flora.

“Yes, it's me. Long time no see,” said Rossa. “Do I look ugly so you don't recognize me?” ask Rossa.

Flora smiled at his smile. “Come sit.”

Rossa pulled the chair for her seat right in front of Flora.

“Honestly I hardly recognize you, but not because you are ugly, but instead you look prettier,” replied Flora.

“Really?” Rossa again asked to make sure if his ears did not hear wrong.

“Ya.” Flora nodded. “True people say, indeed pregnant women will look more beautiful naturally,” continued Flora.

“Oh yes, Rossa ... what do you want to talk to me about?” ask Flora.

“I just want to chat with you. I feel bored at home,” replied Rossa.

“Alright, then ... do you want to drink what or eat?” ask Flora.

“I want to drink juice like you and any food. I'm so hungry,” replied Rossa.

“I'm also very hungry,” added Flora and made the two laugh.

Flora again called a waiter to order mango juice for Rossa as well as food for the two of them.

While waiting for their order to come, the two chatted. There is actually a sense of awkwardness in Flora when with Rosa. Remembering that woman was the ex-lover of her husband. Moreover, Flora knows what relationships Rosa and her husband had done first.

“Rossa how old are you now?” ask Flora.

“Usia content enters seventh month,” replied Rosa. “And rest assured this is my husband's son not your husband's son,” said Rossa as if to know what Flora was thinking.

Flora only showed her smile to respond to Rossa's words.

“Oh yes, Flora I heard from Gio if you are pregnant, congratulations yes,” said Rossa. “How old are you?” ask Rosa again.

“My womb is just entering the second month,” replied Flora.

Suddenly the mood became quiet. Flora doesn't know what to say to Rossa. However, Flora suddenly felt Rosa's hand grip.

“Flora ... Gio told me about a misunderstanding between you and Gio. You thought the child in my womb was Gio's son, right?” ask Rossa.

“Iya, I thought that. But Gio explained it to me. And everything is also done,” Flora said.

“Flora whatever happened between me and Gio was a mistake in our past. We've got nothing to do now except friendship,” explained Rossa.

“What have you ever loved Gio?” ask Flora.

“I love Gio so much, but Gio never loved me. And my love for Gio is arguably blind love,” I am Rossa.

“I loved Gio so much that I was willing to do anything to get close to him, even I was willing to be his outlet. I was patient hoping Gio could turn out to love me, but he didn't,” Rossa explained.

“Suddenly she broke off her relationship with me. I don't feel like I accept his decision. But when I met my current husband, I felt grateful that Gio ended our unclear relationship first,”.

“For what did you tell me all this?” ask Flora.

“To dispel your doubts on Gio,” replied Rossa.

“What did Gio tell you?” Flora asked again.

“No, Gio did tell me about the misunderstanding. But I took the initiative myself to tell you this,” replied Rossa.

“And I just want to go ahead later you no longer need to think about me and your husband,” explained Rossa.

“Like Gio who is already happy living with you, like that is also my life with my husband,” continued Rossa.

“And I wish we could be friends, Flora,” said Rossa expectantly.

Flora piled one of her hands on Rossa's and showed her smile to Rossa. “Of course.”

They both laughed after that.

The conversation between the two pregnant women stopped when the food they ordered came. The two decided to eat and continue their conversation later.
