I Want to Be Loved

Lessons for Mariana

"Please eat, Non," said mbak Asih.

Flora smiled awkwardly at Asih as she prepared food for herself.

"Thank you, Mom. But I can take my own food so Mom doesn't have to serve me like this" Flora said.

"Nothing this has become my duty," said mbak Asih.

Flora scratched her non-itchy head. "But I'm bad, ma'am. I'm younger than Mom. So ... It's not appropriate for my mother to treat me like this."

Ma'am Asih felt almost in disbelief with what Flora had just said. Of course, Mbak Asih felt this time Gio brought a good woman.

Unlike before, Gio always brings women who never act polite to him.

"Bu Asih why bengong?"

"No, Non. I was just surprised, the tumben Den Gio girl friend is good with me," said mbak Asih.

"meaning?" tanya Flora did not understand the meaning of Asih's words.

"The woman Den Gio always brought here is rarely polite to me like this" Asih replied.

It must be the woman that Asih meant Bianka and Rossa.

"Yes, I've been to the kitchen, Den Gio will be home soon."

"Gio wants to go home?" ask Flora in surprise.

"Yes, Non. Earlier for Den Gio said he wanted to go home after lunch," said Asih.

"Alright, Mom. Then I will eat later wait for Gio," said Flora.

And not long after the person they were talking about came, but Gio was not alone but with Farhan.

Flora's eyes widened to see her superior coming. Immediately Flora got up from the chair and saluted Farhan by bowing her body.

"Good day, Mr. Farhan," said Flora.

"Good day, Flora. How are you doing?" ask Farhan.

"I've been much better, sir. Thank you for your attention" said Flora.

"Gio told me everything about what happened yesterday. I'm really ashamed of the actions of my sister-in-law." Farhan truly regrets Mariana's actions that have crossed the line on Flora.

"It's okay, sir. I'm fine thanks to your son" said Flora.

Gio puffed his chest while patting his chest feeling proud of him.

Seeing the behavior of Gio Flora and Farhan revealed their small laughter.

"Chat will continue later. We better have lunch first, I'm starving" said Gio, who was immediately embraced by Flora and Farhan.

They both pulled up chairs at the dining table. Luckily I cooked enough and enough for the three of them.

"Flora after this you come with me somewhere," Gio asked.

"Where?" ask Flora.

"I'll tell you later when we're on the road" said Gio.

"okay."

The three of them continued their lunch. No one spoke anymore, they focused on the food they were eating until it was over.

Farhan finished first. He took a tissue to clean the leftovers on his lips.

"Gio papa went straight back to the office" said Farhan.

Farhan then moved away from the dining table.

"We're leaving together, Pah." Gio did the same thing as his father.

"No, Abi's been waiting for papa downstairs. You guys just go" said Farhan.

"Sorry Father, I didn't go to work today" Flora said.

Farhan's view was directed at Flora.

"It's okay, I understand. In your present condition it is impossible for you to concentrate on work. I gave you three days off and after that I hope you can go back to work as usual" Farhan said.

"Thank you very much for your understanding." Flora again bent her body to pay her respects.

"Flora you get ready I'll take my papa first" Gio told him.

Although still curious where Gio will take him, but Flora tries to believe in Gio.

"All right," said Flora.

Flora returned to her room to change her clothes. Not long after Flora came back down and approached Gio who was waiting for him in the living room.

"Gio I'm ready" said Flora.

"Hmm, let's go" said Gio.

The two of them stepped out of the apartment together.

"Where are we going, Gio?" flora asked as they were in the elevator.

"Play around, my dear," replied the origin of Gio.

"You'll know later." Gio's grin showed Flora made the girl even more clueless.

Flora sighed resignedly because Gio had not yet told them where they were going.

Now Flora and Gio have gotten into the same car. The car was also on a busy road with a vehicle.

"Gio tell me where we're going?" pinta Flora's.

"Ck, you are very impatient" said Gio.

"Jn ...." Flora squinted sharply towards Gio.

Gio clucked as he looked at Flora's sharp glances. "OK I said. We're going to Daniel's house."

"Well! What's?" flora Screams.

Luckily Gio did not step on the brakes suddenly because he was surprised by Flora's scream.

"Can't you just be so non-excessive?" reply Gio. "Just be surprised," he grumbled.

Flora did not want to apologize at all. "Why are we going there?"

"You said you wanted to teach Daniel's parents a lesson, didn't you!"

Flora lowered her face. "I wasn't serious about what you said at the time. I was just angry."

"No problem, but we still have to go there" said Gio.

"But ...."

"Modore ...."

"It's up to you" said Gio resignedly.

There was no more conversation between them.

Gio drove his car at medium speed because the road was also starting to be crowded. Not long after the car that Gio was driving stopped right in front of such a big house.

Flora remembers entering the house once. He once said he would never enter again but this time Gio took him into the house of his ex-girlfriend.

"Let's get off!" bring Gio.

"You sure?" ask Flora.

"Of course" said Gio.

They finally got out of the car at the same time. Flora's steps felt very heavy as she moved her legs back into the house. If only Gio did not hold her hand it felt like Flora wanted to turn around.

How long later, Flora's eyes opened wide when she saw a police car parked in the yard of the house.

"There's police?" ask Flora.

"Yes. Aunt Mariana must feel the consequences of her actions."

"But ...."

Gio stopped his steps as well as Flora. Gio changed his direction.

"You remember what Aunt Mariana did yesterday?" gio and Flora asked immediately nodding at him.

Flora's memories go back to the events of one day ago. He almost lost his chastity because of the mother of his former lover.

Segara Flora rubbed the clear liquid that fell onto her cheek.

"Come, Gio! That woman should get a lesson."

Both of them entered the house. Arriving in the living room, their eyes saw Daniel and his parents. There were also two Polwan and two police officers and three men who would have desecrated Flora

Gio felt Flora's hand grip so tightly. There was an anger and fear in the grasp of the hand and Gio knew it. Gio let go of his hand and took Flora to one of the couches in the living room.

Flora sat down along with the clear liquid just kept coming out of Flora's eyes despite trying to wipe Flora.

"It is very hard for you to report your own family to the police station" Mariana shouted at Gio.

"If Auntie had not acted too outrageously, I wouldn't have acted this way either" Gio replied.

Mariana wanted to get her words back out but was immediately restrained by one of the Polwan in the room.

"Sorry, Madam .. Please stop! We heard the words of Miss Flora first," he said.

Hearing the Polwan's words, Mariana clucked in annoyance. Not only was it obvious there was anxiety, worry, and anger in Mariana.

The policewoman immediately changed her gaze towards Flora.

"Miss Flora is it true that the three men behind me are men trying to desecrate you?" ask one of the Polwan sitting next to the sofa that Flora was sitting on.

Flora looked at Polwan and the three men who would once stain her alternately with her wet eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Miss. Just tell me the truth," continued Polwan.

"Right, ma'am .. those who have tried to stain me," Flora replied with trembling lips.

"All the evidence we have received and the testimony of the victim and the three perpetrators is enough to take you to the police station, Mrs Mariana," the police said.

Then the policewoman told one of her colleagues to take Mariana into a police car that was parked in the courtyard of the mansion.
