I Want to Be Loved

The unexpected

Flora and Gio are still on board the cruise ship. After dinner at that place, Flora still did not want to go home. The night the weather in the open space was getting colder. Flora used both of her hands to swipe off her guard.

“Sayang ... here it's getting cold. We better go home,” said Gio while putting his suit on Flora's shoulder.

Flora nodded. “Yes, come. I've also started to get cold.”

Gio wrapped his hands along his wife's waist, taking her down from the cruise ship.

“You're happy, Honey?” ask Gio.

“Thank you,” Excite Flora.

Gio's lips pulled upwards forming a smile. His hand moved to rub Flora's head.

Flora stopped her steps as she remembered something. “Gio there's something I want to ask.”

“About what?” ask Gio.

“Daren,” reply Flora. “You haven't told me what happened after you talked to Daren. How is the relationship between you and Daren?”

“I don't know, Flora. After that day we did not communicate with each other anymore. I wanted to go see him again, but I didn't have the courage to. When we spoke at that time, I saw such great disappointment on his face,” Gio said with a downcast face.

Seeing that Flora felt very pity. He knew what Gio was feeling. Flora moved her hand to rub her husband's arm.

“Hopefully there is no dispute between you. You are different mothers but you are still one father,” said Flora.

“I hope so too, Flora,” said Gio.

“Honestly I still think that Daren will be angry with what we have done to aunt Dini,” said Flora.

“It was indeed deserved by Aunt Dini. Nevermind, My dear. Forget all that,” said Gio.

“Better we come back now. After this you should rest immediately. Tomorrow night we will leave this place,” said Gio.

“Yes, aunt Mariana has repeatedly contacted me and asked me for souvenirs,” said Flora.

“If remembered funny yes ..” said Gio.

“What's funny?” ask Flora.

“Tante Mariana used to hate you so much. But look now! Aunt Mariana loves you so much,” replied Gio.

There was a small smile on the corner of Flora's lips. It looks funny to remember her past with Mariana.

Their steps stopped when they reached the side of the taxi that would take them back to the hotel where they were staying.

Flora and Gio had already gotten into the taxi. Together with the taxi cars Gio and Flora moved away from the dock, leaving many memories of the place.

The couple got out of the taxi when they got to the hotel where they were staying. They immediately stepped into one of the rooms they occupied.

“Clean your body and rest immediately,” tell Gio who is directly signed by Flora.

Flora stepped into the bathroom to clean herself and changed into a nightgown. After finishing Flora came out of the bathroom and went into her room. Her eyes saw her husband cleaning their things.

“Let me take care of it. You quickly clean yourself up too,” tell Flora.

“Good.” Gio stopped his activity to pack things and went to the bathroom.

Flora prepared a nightgown for her husband and placed it on the bed. After that Flora returned to packing things and put them in a suitcase.

Finished packing their belongings, Flora stepped towards the bed and laid her body there. Not long after that she came out of the bathroom and put on the clothes that Flora had prepared beforehand.

Gio's gentle kiss gave at the end of Flora's head. “Sleep! Good night, My dear.”

“Goodnight too, My Husband.” Flora replied to her husband.

By the next day, the time had already shown at three in the afternoon. Flora, Gio, Abi, and Susan prepare to check out from the hotel. The four men will soon leave New York City and will return to Indonesia.

Gio and Abi were checking out at the hotel reception. Finished with that the two men approached Flora and Susan who were waiting in the waiting area.

“Come we leave immediately for the airport,” said Gio.

“Ya, come,” added Flora.

When I was about to step up Gio remembered something. Gio patted his own forehead as he recalled leaving an important item in the room.

“I left my phone at the room table,” Gio said.

“I'll take it,” said Abi.

“Not necessary. Let me,” prevent Gio. “You wait here. Take care of Flora and Susan.”

“I'm coming,” pinta Flora.

“No. You stay here,” forbid Gio. “I'll be back soon.” Before leaving Gio landed a kiss on Flora's forehead.

Gio started to step away from his wife and two subordinates. Gio returns to the reception desk to ask for help so that he can return to the room he previously occupied.

Gio returned to his room with one of the hotel staff. Gio's breath was so relieved when he found his phone.

“Thank you,” said Gio to the hotel staff who escorted him to the room.

Gio left the room first. When he was about to enter the elevator, there was a message that entered his phone. Gio frowned looking at his unknown number. Curious Gio opened and began to read the contents of the message.

Gio's forehead flinched looking at the sentence that appeared on his phone screen.

Come to the basemant hotel where you are staying now. If not, I'll hurt your wife.

Gio wanted to ignore the message. The number again sent a message. This time it was a picture message. In the picture Gio saw a picture of his wife sitting in the waiting room.

If within 5 minutes you do not come to basemant, then I will have the sniper I have prepared to eliminate your wife.

Gio tightly grasped the phone in his hand. His jaw hardened and the look on his face signified his anger. Not wasting any more time Gio got into the elevator. Gio pressed the button that would take him to the hotel's basemant.

Arriving at the basemant, Gio called the number that had sent the message. Several times Gio called the number, but the call was always ignored.

Just as Gio wanted to call the number back, suddenly Gio felt something hit him on the head from behind.

Gio looked behind him. However, Gio had not seen who hit him yet, there was another person who hit him. The impromptu attack made Gio unable to fight back, let alone being ganged up by some people.

The final blow on his nape made Gio fall to the floor. Fresh blood flowed from Gio's head. Gio fell right under the feet of someone, a man his age.

Faintly Gio looked at the man's face. Gio recognized him very well.

“You ...”

“Gio .. how unfortunate your fate is now.” The man smiled his cynical smile. “But you deserve all of this. And you better catch up with your parents.”

“Hei ... you!” The man pointed at one of his men. “Ending him.”
