I Want to Be Loved
Arrived in America 2



The car driven by Daren stopped in the lobby of a hotel in New York City. Gio and Flora will stay for two weeks at the place with Susan and Abi.


“Everything ... we have arrived,” said Daren.


Flora who heard Daren's voice turned her eyes away from the car's glass. Inadvertently his sight met Daren. Both of them showed their awkward smiles.


Flora first disconnected the call and immediately woke her husband up.


“Gio, we've arrived.” Flora patted Gio's shoulder.


Gio begins to wake up followed by Abi and Susan. Gio pinched his forehead to ease his dizziness.


“You okay?” ask Flora.


“Yes, I'm fine. Just a little tired,” replied Gio.


“Come, we go down so we can rest,” Flora said.


Gio nodded in response to his wife's words. The couple came out following the others.


“Daren, thank you for driving us,” said Gio.


“Don't hesitate Gio. We're family, right?” reply Daren.


“Mas Gio, all of our goods have been issued,” said Abi.


“Alright, I'll go home first. Happy resting,” said Daren.


“See you,” said Daren before returning to his car.


“Bye.” Gio and Flora replied to Daren's greeting simultaneously.


The four of them stepped inside the hotel. Abi and Gio go to the reception desk to check in, while Flora and Susan wait at the waiting area.


“You're done?” flora Abi approached them.


Flora frowned when she did not see her husband. “Where is my husband, Mas Abi?”


“Mas Gio is still at the reception desk, Mba," replied Abi. “Susan .. This is your room key.” Abi gave Susan the room key.


“Thank you,” said Susan.


Not long after Gio came to them.


“Come, Dear we to the room,” invite Gio.


“You why so long?” ask Flora.


“I asked the receptionist .. Is there a Doctor here,” replied Gio.


“Doctor? You are sick.” Flora's tone sounded anxious.


Flora got up from the sofa and immediately checked her husband's body temperature with the back of her hand.


“Gak, Darling. I want to check your condition?” answer Gio.


“But I'm fine,” Flora said.


“I'll be relieved if it's the Doctor who said it,” Gio said.


“But —” Greeting Flora truncated by Gio.


“No but-fireplace!” Gio placed his index finger on Flora's lips. “Let's go to the room,” invite Gio.


Gio did not want to hear any more protests from his wife, immediately Gio clasped Flora's hand and took her to their room.


“You are also quick to your respective rooms and rest. Tomorrow is an important day for us,” command Gio.


“Good, Sir,” says Abi and Susan simultaneously.


Gio and Flora stepped together towards their room. Along the way Flora whines at Gio, asking her husband to take a walk around New York that night.


“Are you not tired?” ask Gio.


“No,” Reply Flora.


“But it's night, my dear,” said Gio.


“Nothing,” reply Flora.


Gio halted his steps followed by Flora when he got in front of their room. The door of the room opened, and Gio immediately brought Flora into the room.


“Come, My Husband .. This is our son's wish,” persuade Flora.


“Our child's wishes or your wishes?” gio Goda.


Flora clucked as Gio did not fulfill his wish. Seeing his wife feeling annoyed, Gio immediately hugged his wife from behind.


“Honey, it's late and I'm so tired. Anyway tomorrow I have to meet with investors in our company,”, Gio said, wiping his wife's stomach.


“Alright,” says Flora.


Flora moved away from Gio and sat on the edge of the bed accompanied by her gloomy face.


Gio clucked, Why after becoming pregnant did Flora become even more stubborn?


Although Flora did not whine anymore, but Gio still saw the gloomy face of his wife. Gio again persuaded his wife that his wife's face would understand.


Gio took a step and sat down beside his wife. Gio's hand moved to rub his wife's head.


“Come on, don't be like this,” persuade Gio. “Alright, I will show you the whole city of New York, now,”.


“Really? Alright let's go now,” exclaimed Flora with her carefree face.


Flora got out of bed and pulled Gio's hand. However, Gio held back his steps.


“Flora, where are you going?” ask Gio.


“Of course we'll go. Didn't you say you were going to show me this whole city,” Flora said.


“But we don't need to go from this room,” Gio said.


“Then?” Flora did not understand what Gio said.


Gio pulled Flora's hand leading her towards the window that was covered by the Curtains.


“Open these curtains!” gio's orders.


Flora looked at Gio while raising one eyebrow.


“Come open!” Gio's orders once again.


Despite not knowing what her husband was planning, Flora kept up with what her husband said. Both of Flora's hands moved to open the curtains of the room.


Flora's eyes sparkled as she looked at the scene before her. From where she stood, Flora could see New York City. The lights were lit up like scattered stars.


So beautiful!


“Wow,” Excite Flora.


“Very beautiful, isn't it?” said Gio who was immediately embraced by Flora.


“You often see this when you used to live here?” ask Flora.


“Almost every day,” replied Gio.


“You are very lucky, My husband,” Flora said.


Gio nodded, “But now I'm even luckier for getting you, Flora.”


Flora turned her head, looking at her husband's face. Now Flora was standing in front of Gio at such a close distance. Flora draped her hand to Gio's neck.


“Thank you for always making me the happiest girl, Gio,” Flora said as she pressed her forehead against her husband's forehead.


For a moment they looked at each other with a million happy feelings. As the two wanted to put their lips together, there was a knock on the door in front of their room.


Tok tok tok tok


“Ck, just interrupt,” grumbled Flora.


“You are getting fiercer ya.” Gio pulled Flora's nose from feeling anxious.


“Maybe the Doctor I asked to check on you,” Gio said. “I'll open the door.”


Gio stepped away from Flora to open the door of their room. Gio pulled the door handle to open it. The door opened and showed two women. One seemed to be a staffer at the hotel and the other seemed to be a Doctor, it was visible from the clothes he was wearing.


“Goodnight, Mr. .. This is the Doctor you asked for,” said the staff at the hotel.


“Please sign in,” says Gio.


The doctor came in and checked Flora's condition.


“How is my wife's condition?” ask Gio.


“There is nothing to worry about, everything is fine,” said the Doctor.


“You're satisfied, Husband? I told you I was fine,” Flora said.


“What are your vitamins still there, Mistress?” ask Doctor.


“Still, Doc,” Reply Flora.


“Alright, then excuse me first. This is my business card.” The doctor gave Gio his card. “Do not hesitate to contact me if you guys need me.”


“Thank you very much, Doc,” said Gio while receiving a business card given by the Doctor.


“Sama-sama,” Reply Doctor.


“Let me drop out,” says Gio.


Gio stepped towards the door with the Doctor. Gio's return door closed after the Doctor who examined his wife left his room.


“Quick face wash and rest immediately,” tell Flora.


“Good, My dear.” Gio nodded his head.


Flora and Gio take turns getting into the bathroom. After they cleaned themselves, the two were directly compared on the bed to rest their bodies.
