I Want to Be Loved

Flora's anger

Flora was allowed to go home after four days in the hospital. Flora was still in her room waiting for Daniel to attend the hospital administration.

Flora sat on the bed accompanied by Seruni and Mariana. Susan and Abi have already returned to Indonesia to take care of their work.

“You sure you're okay, son?” ask Seruni.

“Iya, Mom. I've been feeling better,” replied Flora.

Flora is fine, but Flora is still devastated by Gio's disappearance. All efforts have been made to find her husband, including asking for help from the police in the country. However, the results are still nil. Gio disappeared without a trace, like being swallowed by the earth.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door in front of his room shifted the eyes of Flora, Seruni, and Mariana. They saw two policemen enter the room.

“Good day, Mistress.” One of the police officers greeted Flora.

“Happy day too.” Flora says hello.

“Is there any development about my husband's whereabouts?” ask Flora without further ado.

“Sorry, Madam ... we have not received any instructions. But I conclude if your husband is gone. It was seen from the amount of blood scattered on the basement floor,” said one of the police.

“And it's possible that the criminal has already dumped your husband's body to remove the trace,” the policeman continued.

“I will not believe all that, if I do not see the body of my husband,” Flora said followed by sobs.

“We'll excuse you, Madam. We'll try to find your husband.” The three policemen left Flora's inpatient room.

“Already, Son. Ikhlaskan Gio,” said Seruni.

“But, Bu ...” Flora lowered her face.

“We are also sad to hear this news. But please, Son ... don't be like this,” said Mariana.

“Iya, Son. By iklhas ... Gio will be calm there,” said Mariana.

“I can't, Mom. Before I see Gio's own body .. new I'll believe he's gone,” Flora said.

Flora wiped her tears before she left the room. The shocked Seruni immediately chased after Flora along with Mariana.

“Flora wait, Nak!” Seruni chased after Flora in the hospital corridor.

“Flora where are you going?” flora's steps came to a halt as Daniel was right in front of her.

“I have to see Brian myself,” replied Flora.

“For what else, Flora? After all the police found no evidence that Brian was involved with Gio's disappearance,” Daniel explained.

“I can't believe it! It's possible that Brian bribed those cops,” Flora said.

“Flora —” Flora cuts Daniel's word.

“Quite Daniel!” Flora showed her palm in front of Daniel.

“Do not block me,” Flora said.

Flora stepped past Daniel, unwilling to listen to anyone.

Daniel stops Flora's steps by holding her arm. “I'm coming. I won't let you go alone.”

“We both go first, Mah, Mother. We excuse you,” said Daniel.

“You guys be careful on the road,” said Seruni followed by a nod of Mariana.

No more talk. Flora and Daniel leave the hospital for Brian's company.

Along the way Flora and Daniel don't talk to each other. In her mind Flora kept thinking about where her husband was now. Flora wished her husband well wherever he was.

The car that Flora and Daniel were riding in stopped at the company that belonged to Brian. The two got out of the car and went straight into the company.

“I want to meet with Brian,” Flora told the receptionist at the company.

“Have you made an appointment with him?” ask the receptionist.

“I have to meet him right now! Show me where the room is!” In her anger Flora kicked down the reception desk and instantly shocked everyone who saw her.

“Flora, patience .. calm down first,” Daniel said. “We won't be able to meet him if you behave like this. We will instead be expelled from this place.”

Hearing Daniel's words, Flora took her breath to dampen the emotions within.

Seeing Flora's teary eyes made the attendant at the receptionist feel unbearable.

“Alright, I will try to contact his secretary first,” he replied.

“Tell him if I want to see Flora Giovani Ferdinand,” Flora said.

“Good, Mistress.”

Flora remained standing before the reception desk. Waiting for the receptionist to call and talk to Brian's secretary.

Not long inside the receptionist asked Flora to go straight to Brian's room on the 10th floor of the company.

“Come Daniel!” bring Flora.

Flora and Daniel immediately step into the elevator that will take them to the floor where Brian's room is.

The lights in the elevator already showed the number ten. After the elevator doors opened, Flora and Daniel exited the elevator. They put their feet into Brian's room.

“I want to meet your boss.” Flora spoke to Brian's secretary.

“What Are You Mrs Flora?” ask Secretary Brian.

“Ya.” Flora answered quickly.

“Please enter, Mistress. Mr. Brian is waiting for you,” Secretary Brian said.

“Come, Flora!” take Daniel.

“Wait, Sir! Brian just wanted to meet with Flora,”, Brian's secretary said.

“But —” Greeting Daniel cut by Flora.

“It's okay, Daniel. If anything happens I will scream to call you,” Flora said.

“Be careful. I'll wait for you here,” reply Daniel.

Flora pushed the door and walked into Brian's study. Flora's eyes saw Brian sitting down by putting both of his feet on the table. There was Tina in the room too.

“Where did you hide my husband, Brian?” ask Flora without further ado.

Brian smiled faintly at the question Flora was asking.

“It turns out you're prettier than the one in the photo. How lucky that jerk has a wife as beautiful as you,” Brian said.

“Do not dare you insult my husband again,” reply Flora.

“You are more beautiful if you are angry,” said Brian who was impressed to tease Flora. “Please sit. We can chat more casually,” said Brian.

“I didn't come here to sit or chat with you. I ask you once again ... where did you hide my husband!” Flora spoke in a loud voice.

“Flora .. what's the reason you accused my sister. Police also found no evidence of my sister's involvement with the disappearance of your husband,” Tina said.

“I can't believe!” firmly Flora.

“You —”

“Stttt .. shut up my sister! Don't talk rudely to our guests. Moreover, our guests are as beautiful as this.” Brian wanted to touch Flora's face. However, Flora immediately dodged.

“Don't touch me, Brian!” Flora looked at Brian sharply and pointed at Brian with her hand.

Brian did not like that look. Without Flora's permission, Brian clasped the wrist that Flora used to point at her.

“Your hand is very smooth.” A sneaky grin pointed out by Brian. “You'll definitely need a backrest after your husband leaves. I'm willing to replace him.”

“Let go of me!” Flora released her hand from Brian's grip.

Plaaaques

Flora landed a hard slap in Brian's face.

“Don't dream, Brian,” said Flora full of emphasis.

“How dare you slap my brother!” Tina pushed Flora.

“Aaaaa!”

Lucky there's a hold back growing Flora. Make Flora's body not fall to the floor.
