I Want to Be Loved

Strange Feelings 2

When that feeling speaks.

Eyes that were closed last night began to open. Several times Flora blinked her eyelids so that her eyes could adapt to the light in the room. Her smile grew slightly and her sleep that night was very good.

After her eyes opened perfectly, Flora flicked her blanket and took a sitting position by leaning against the headboard.

“Good morning, Mother Flora,” greet Susan.

“Morning,” Reply Flora.

Flora had already woken up from her sleep, but it felt like her life was still left behind in dreamland. Flora still remembers well if last night she was on the beach and chatting with the Eagle. How did he get in the room? Flora could not remember when she went to the room.

“Even night I fell asleep on the beach and Mr. Eagle carried Mom to this room,” Susan said.

“Hah, are you serious?” ask Flora.

“I'm serious, Ma'am,” replied Susan with confidence.

Flora's memory returned last night when she spoke and cried in the Eagle's arms.

“Is he still here? I have to thank you before we go back to Jakarta,” Flora said.

“It looks like it still is, Mom,” Susan replied.

“Alright, I'll take a shower first. After that I have to meet the man.” Flora came down from the top of the bed by holding her stomach that was getting bigger and bigger.

“Good, Mom. I'll get our stuff done,” Susan said.

Flora went into the bathroom and stepped into the bathroom. After taking off all her clothes, Flora turned on the water tap, setting it in warm water mode. Warm water came out of the shower and flushed all over Flora.

Flora's eyes closed as water passed through her face. The shadow of the Eagle's eyes reappeared in his mind.

“Why does that shadow of a man always appear in my mind?” inner Flora.

“What because his eyes and voice remind me of Gio? Is it because I miss Gio too much?”

“Ya Lord .. I miss my husband a lot.”

Drops upon drops of Flora's tears came out from her eyes and fell mixed with the water that flushed her body.

Flora ended her bath after she felt she had taken a long bath. After turning off the tap, Flora picked up a towel and wrapped it around her body.

Before coming out of the bathroom, Flora first put on her clothes that she brought to the bathroom.

Finished dressing Flora out of the bathroom while drying her hair using a towel.

“You want me to order breakfast, Mom?” ask Susan.

“Not necessary. I'll just eat at the restaurant. All of you I want to meet him,” replied Flora.

“Means Mother ... Mr Eagle?” ask Susan.

Flora replied by nodding her head.

Finished preparing Flora immediately invited Susan to go down to the restaurant. Along the way Flora stepped silently. To be honest Flora felt bad for the Eagle with what happened last night.

Arriving at the restaurant Flora circulated her gaze to look for the figure of the Eagle. However, his eyes did not find that figure. Even until she and Susan finished breakfast.

Flora started to fidget when the Eagle did not come to that restaurant. In her heart Flora was very hopeful that the Eagle would appear before her before she returned to Jakarta later in the afternoon.

“It looks like Mr. Eagle will not come here,” Susan said.

“Yes, it looks like so,” says Flora.

Flora sighed feeling disappointed, having been unable to meet the Eagle. Honestly, Flora herself does not know why she really wants to meet the Eagle, maybe a baby. Does the baby in the womb also think that the Eagle is his papa?

“Ngaco?” inner Flora.

Susan's cell phone call distracts Flora. Flora asks Susan who sent her the message.

“Mas Abi sent a message, Bu.” Susan started reading the message. “Mas Abi said, our flight schedule is at the employer. At 1 pm later,” continued Susan.

Flora looked at the time on the clock that was coiled around her wrist. “That means three more hours.”

“Iya, Ma'am,” says Susan.

“Where did he go? I haven't even said 'thank you' to him,” Flora said.

“Why don't you message the receptionist. And ask the receptionist to deliver the message to Mr. Eagle,” suggested Susan.

“Yes that's true too,” Flora said. “But the problem is what he is still staying here.”

“I will ask the receptionist first,” Susan said. “I'm sorry.”

“Wait! I come with you,” said Flora.

Both of them left the restaurant. The two women stepped towards the reception desk.

“Excuse me, I'd like to ask. Is Mr Elang Ardiansyah still staying here?” ask Susan.

“Before I check,” said the Receptionist.

The receptionist checked the guest data from the computer in front of him. “Still, Mom. Last morning Mr. Eagle seemed to be leaving.”

“Go? Where to?” ask Flora.

“Eh! What does it have to do with me, Flora's inner”.

Not only was Flora astonished at herself, Susan was suddenly astonished, but once her boss was shocked at someone.

“Mba, I ask same paper pen yes,” pinta Flora.

“Good, Bu.” The receptionist picked up and gave Flora a paper and pen.

Flora did what Susan proposed. Flora began to scratch the pen to write something on the paper.

I was waiting for you at the restaurant this morning to thank you for last night, but you didn't come. So I wrote this message to thank you, because I have to go back to Jakarta this afternoon.

Flora folded the paper and put it in an envelope given by the Receptionist.

“This, Mba. Please give this to Mr. Eagle,” pinta Flora.

“Good, Mom,” said to the receptionist.

“Come, Mom ..we're back in the room,” take Susan.

“Ya, come,” reply Flora.

*****

As scheduled, Flora's flight is at exactly 1pm. At 11pm, Flora and her two subordinates were ready to leave the hotel.

“Nobody's left behind, right?” ask Flora.

“Nothing, Mom,” says Susan.

“Let's go now,” take Flora who was directly signed by Susan.

Susan stepped towards the door. As she was about to leave the room, Susan stopped her steps.

“Susan, why stop suddenly?” ask Flora who's right behind Susan.

Susan looked at Flora. “There's a Mr. Eagle, Bu.”

“Hah, Eagle!” Flora made sure to get back to Susan.

“Iya, Mum.” Susan nodded.

Yup!

Suddenly Flora exclaimed in her heart as her wish was granted.

“Ehemmm.” Flora throbs. “Susan, you get to the car first,” tell Flora.

“Good, Bu.” Susan drags two suitcases and goes to the car first according to Flora's orders.

“What are you doing here?” ask Flora.

“I got a message from you at reception. Fortunately you have not left,” replied the Eagle.

“It ...” Flora muffled her words. “I want to thank you for taking me to my room last night.” Flora spoke followed by her small laugh. “I'm sorry I've troubled you.”

“It's okay. I can't possibly let you sleep in that place,” replied the Eagle.

“Alright, I have to go to the Airport immediately,” Flora said.

“Flora .. wait!” prevent Eagle.

“What's up?” ask Flora.

“Before you leave may I .. give your son farewell?” asked the Eagle hesitantly.

“Hah! What?” Flora really didn't know what the Eagle meant.

To be honest the Eagle also felt strange to himself. Since feeling the movement in Flora's stomach, there was a strange feeling that appeared on her and made her unable to sleep all night.

Flora saw the Eagle's hand begin to move towards her stomach. Unexpectedly the Eagle rubbed his stomach so gently. Not long after, Flora felt a movement inside her stomach.

“She moves,” exclaims Eagle.

“Of course, he lives inside my stomach,” Flora continued.

The eagle bent its body positioning its face in front of Flora's distended stomach. A gentle swipe of the Eagle made a strange feeling suddenly appear in Flora.

Not knowing what the feeling was, but the clear feeling Flora felt at that moment was a comfortable feeling.

“Hey, little baby ... can you hear me?” The eagle spoke as if the baby in Flora's stomach could hear her voice. “Be a good boy don't trouble your mother.”

Hearing the Eagle's words, Flora laughed withholding the cry of her day, especially when she felt the baby's movement in her stomach.

“Looks like he listened to you,” Flora said.

Not only Flora, Eagle also felt the movement of the baby in the stomach Flora. A small laugh appeared on the lips of the Eagle. “Little baby .. I take this in return greetings from me.”

The eagle stood up to look at Flora.

“Take care of yourself as well as the baby in your womb,” Eagle's message.

Flora nodded in response to people's words.

“Good. Let me take you to the lobby,” take the Eagle.

“Ya , Come.”

Flora and Eagle stepped together towards the lobby while having a small chat.
