I Want to Be Loved
The Flora Vs Mariana
Gio painstakingly applied the ointment to the back of Flora's hand which was hit by the hot pot. His mouth did not stop to grumble.
"Is it still hot?" ask Gio.
No response from Flora made Gio change his direction. Her eyes saw Flora daydreaming with tears streaming down from her eyes.
"Geez what a small wound this makes you cry" said Gio.
"It's so hot" whined Flora.
"It's your own fault, why daydream? What if your hand gets hot water or burns worse?" snapped Gio.
Hearing Gio's clap Flora's cry just got louder.
"You're so mean why yell at me and you speak so rudely?"
"That's not what I mean …." Gio looked at Flora crying more and more. "Hey, stop! Quiet …."
Gio was afraid that if anyone heard him then they thought he was doing something to Flora when he accidentally snapped at her.
"Why do you have to yell at me? You can speak well to me" protested Flora in between sobs.
"Okay I'm sorry, so shut up now!" Gio said by putting their two hands together.
It turns out that it is not easy to make Flora stop crying even Gio feels almost desperate to calm Flora's cry. Gio was afraid that someone would hear him and make the person misunderstand.
"Flora if you don't shut up .. I'll kiss your lips right now, '" she said.
Flora instantly silenced her mouth and stopped crying when her ears heard Gio's threat.
Flora's wet eyes immediately stared intently at Gio. "If you dare to do that I will finish you off" Flora tweeted.
"Ho, ho, ho, already good at threatening apparently," ledek Gio.
One punch landed right on Gio's arm making Gio screech.
"Awww, this hurts," complained Gio.
"Feel that," Flora replied.
"Your body is small but your strength is very strong" led Gio.
"Stop teasing me" whined Gio.
"All right." Gio immediately wiped away the trail of tears that had almost dried up.
"Don't cry I'll help you find your father" Gio said.
"Promise?" Flora showed her little finger to Gio.
Gio smiled looking at that then he moved his hand and hooked his little finger with Flora's little finger. "I promised Flora."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"It looks like the pantry has become this is already the place to date."
That someone's words instantly averted Flora's and Gio's eyes. Both of their eyeballs saw Mariana standing on the doorstep with her hands folded in front of her chest. Flora was surprised, but not with Gio. Flora immediately pulled the hook of her little finger with Gio's little finger.
"Oh, Aunt Marina. How are you?" greet Gio.
There was no intention of Mariana to answer her nephew's greeting.
"There's something I want to talk to that girl about. Can you leave us, Gio?" mariana Pinta.
Flora is shocked when the mother of her ex-lover wants to talk to her.
"There's ap-"
Flora's words were cut off as Gio interrupted her words as he clasped his hand.
"It's nothing to do with you so auntie asks, you go!" mariana said softly but filled with emphasis.
Gio wants to reply to Mariana's words but is immediately restrained by Flora.
"It's okay. I can take care of myself" said Flora.
"We're sure?"
Flora nodded immediately. "Yes." Yeah."
Then what can Gio do. Gio sighed before coming out of that pantry. Gio gave an intimidating look as his gaze met with the sister-in-law of his papa.
After making sure Gio left the pantry, Mariana stepped closer to Flora. Mariana stood in front of Flora a distance of one meter.
Mariana stood up by folding both her hands and stared cynically at Flora. But that gaze was already unable to frighten a Flora.
"What a great thing, you broke up with my son and now you're starting to get close to my nephew. Can't you find a man from another family?" sindir Mariana's.
"What do you really want to talk to me about. Hurry up, let's say I have to get back to work" Flora said.
Both of Mariana's eyeballs were rounded, he had not expected Flora to dare to speak like that to him. "It's so arrogant of you."
"I'm sorry if you feel like that. I was just being vigilant," Flora replied.
"Didn't I want to stay here with an illegitimate child like you?"
"CK, it's up to you."
"Have you forgotten my son?" ask Mariana.
"You certainly know Daniel was my first love so there's no way I could forget my first love" Flora said.
"Well, I can approve your relationship on one condition …."
Flora looked strangely towards Mariana. Flora could see the smile of Iicik drawn on Mariana's lips.
"What do you really want?" ask Flora without further ado.
"Please persuade Daniel to fight for a leadership seat at this company."
Flora was silent as she stared fixedly at Mariana's eyes. In that instant Flora also remembered Daniel's words that would make her parents approve of their relationship, so that would make their relationship condoned.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do it. If Daniel manages to lead this company you'll receive power what if you don't?" Flora smiled bitterly. "Again Daniel and I have decided to be friends" Flora continued
"Again I saw Daniel didn't want to lead this company. So I advise you not to continue to impose your will on Daniel. Let him do what he wants and choose what he wants."
"You dare talk to me like that. Know what you are about my son."
"I know clearly what Daniel wants, he just wants freedom, ma'am." Flora was now staring at both of Mariana's eyes. "You should as a woman who has given birth to her be able to better understand what your child wants."
"Silent you." Mariana floated her hand to Flora's face but Flora held her back.
"Sorry Madam I won't stay silent anymore when you'll be rude to me." Flora clutching Mariana's wrist firmly.
"Take me off!"
Flora released her hand from Mariana's wrist.
"I think our conversation is over. I still have a lot of work, excuse me."
Flora stepped out of the pantry. There was a big smile on his lips, he felt proud of himself for being able to fight Mariana.
Flora's mouth didn't stop muttering, "Basically the woman wants to use me and Daniel for her sake alone, don't expect me to do that. How the woman had to deal with her own child. Ck, pity Daniel."
While in the pantry Mariana was in acute level rage mode. His eyes had even reddened and his gaze was extremely sharp as if ready to pounce on his prey.
"Basar of illegitimate children. How dare he talk to me like that. Just look what I can do to destroy you."
