I Want to Be Loved

The Love of Gio

In the near moment, sometimes do not feel his presence, but in the distant moment feel lost.

It was being felt by Flora. Now he is missing the presence of Gio, a man who sucks, but is always there for him.

Flora who could not sleep flipped her body over the bed. His mind was still on Gio. There were still many questions that came to his mind. What is the reason behind Gio's change?

Flora got up and took a sitting position, then leaned her body against the wall behind her body. His hand grabbed the greeting card given by Gio, his smile expanding as he read the words written in it.

Suddenly Flora remembered the words of Daniel who said that Gio loved her.

Is that true? Gio loves me?What's behind Gio's changed attitude because I came back with Daniel so he's jealous, angry, and heartbroken?

Flora felt that it was impossible. A Gio could not possibly be heartbroken, given how many of his women would bend their knees before him.

While Flora was thinking about it, her phone suddenly rang and shocked Flora. Flora grabbed her phone, Daniel's name was on her screen. Soon Flora pressed the green button to receive a call from her lover.

"Hallo" said Flora after the flat object stuck near her ear.

Flora and Daniel chatted on the phone long enough. Until Flora fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Flora opened her eyes when she heard the alarm on her phone. Flora's hand stretched out to grab the phone and turn off the alarm. Flora got up and took a sitting position. Before getting off her bed, Flora first clenched her long hair. After that Flora came out of her room to go to the bathroom.

"Morning, son," said Seruni.

"By the morning, ma'am," said Flora.

"Quick shower continue to breakfast," said Seruni who was immediately embraced by Flora.

Finished bathing Flora rushed back to her room to change clothes. Time kept turning, making Flora have to hurry to prepare. After she finished preparing, Flora immediately walked out of her room and had breakfast with her mother.

Flora eats quickly because of the time being chased and also because last night she slept on an empty stomach.

"Eat it don't hurry, son. Later you choke," said Seruni.

"It's noon, ma'am," Seruni replied with her mouth full.

And I'm very hungry.

"I'm done." Flora took a tissue to wipe the food marks on her lips.

"I'm leaving." Flora shakes her mother's hand.

"Yes, son .. be careful on the road." Seruni shook her head to see the behavior of her daughter.

Flora got out of the house and rushed to her car. Flora got into the car and sat on the steering wheel and started the car. After the car was on, Flora rushed into the gas to drive her car.

Over and over again Flora saw the clock curling around her wrist, almost 7 a.m.

"Hopefully that annoying boss hasn't come yet" murmured Flora.

Luckily the morning streets were not crowded making Flora get to the office faster. Soon Flora parked her car to where it was already available and got right out of the car. After locking her car Flora rushed to get inside her office.

Flora arrived at her desk half an hour before Gio arrived. As Flora's eyes saw Gio's arrival, she immediately stood up from her chair to greet Gio. Even though Flora knew Gio would not say hello back, Flora would still do that for just his formality and professionalism at work.

"Good morning, sir," said Flora, slightly bowing her body.

"Morning," Gio's reply.

Flora looked up when she heard Gio's greeting back.

She answered?

Flora smiled at Gio, but the man turned his face in the other direction as if he did not want to see the smile that Flora so longed for. Seeing that Flora's smile instantly faded from her lips and slowly Flora lowered her face.

"Flora," call Gio.

"Yes, sir," said Flora and immediately looked back at Gio.

"The file I asked for has you prepared?" ask Gio.

"Already," said Flora.

"Antar to my room," pinta Gio.

"Good, sir."

Flora was happy to be able to talk to Gio even though the man was still speaking in a cold tone, but at least that morning Gio did not show his fierce face.

Flora did what Gio told her to do. After retrieving the file that Gio requested from his desk, Flora walked into his superior's study.

"This is the file." Flora placed the file she brought to the table in front of her.

Gio took a quick glance at Flora before taking the file he requested and began to examine it.

"Have you prepared everything I need for my meeting later that afternoon with the G.R group?" asked Gio without taking his eyes off the file he had in his hand.

"While I do, sir," said Flora.

"Okay, finish it right away," told Gio who was immediately embraced by Flora.

Gio handled the file handing it back to Flora.

Flora received the file Gio gave her. He should have left the room immediately, but something was holding him back.

"You can go" said Gio.

"Mr Gio ...." There was doubt in Flora to say what she wanted to say at the time.

Hearing Gio's cold tone, Flora finally undoes her intention to say what she wants to say to Gio.

"It's okay. Sorry excuse me" said Flora.

Flora immediately shot out of the room without waiting for a response from Gio.

"Modore ...." Gio's words stopped when he realized that Flora was no longer in his room.

Gio clucked, then rubbed his face rough. Gio moved out of his chair and walked back and forth behind his chair. He longed to apologize to Flora for her actions yesterday, but those words could not come out from within him.

I'm going crazy thinking about it.

The clock had already indicated the time for lunch, but Flora still had a lot of work to do. Mutya had even been waiting for him since.

"Mutya you go first. I'll catch up with you if I have time" Flora said.

"Is there still a lot?" ask Mutya.

Of course there are still many, because in his mind there are only Gio, Gio, and Gio.

"Yes." Yeah." Flora nodded. "I need to get it over with or our boss will get angry" Flora joked.

"All right, I eat first" said Mutya.

"Mutya .. can I have a meal for me too?" flora.

"of course. I'll order food for you" Mutya replied.

"Thank you, Mutya. You've been bothered with me."

"Don't be shy, Flora."

Mutya leaves Flora and steps towards the cafeteria in the office while Flora returns to work. The phone call distracts Flora. Soon Flora receives a call from her superior's room.

"Flora have you finished all the files for my meeting with the G.R Group company?" ask Gio from across the call.

"Already, sir," replied Flora.

"Antar to my room right now," Gio asked.

"Well, sir .. immediately."

Flora rushed to go to her superior's room to deliver what her superior asked for.

"This, sir." Without wasting any time Flora submitted the files requested by Gio.

"Yes, thank you."

Thank me? She say thank you?

"What's Flora?" Flora immediately turned her head when Gio asked.

At first glance Flora hesitated to say the thing she wanted to say, but Flora already could not help it.

"I'm sorry I wanted to say something outside of work. But I need an explanation for something" Flora said.

"What do you want to talk about?" Gio looked at Flora's face. He was actually curious about what Flora wanted to say.

"Gio thank you for the flowers and chocolates you gave me back then." Finally the words that had Flora pendam could he put out.

Gio was stunned when Flora said that. He knew?

"What do you mean?" gio asked pretending not to understand.

"Daniel told me everything about you and my feelings ...."

"Then?"

"I just need an explanation from you .. Is that all true?"

Gio got up from his chair and walked closer towards Flora.

"If that's true how?" Gio continued walking towards Flora making Flora walk backwards.

"Is that the reason behind your changed attitude?" Flora's steps came to a halt as her body hit the wall of the room.

Now the two are facing each other at such a close distance. Gio placed both his hands beside Flora's shoulders to lock Flora's movements.

Their views met at the same point. However, Flora immediately disconnected that view by turning her gaze the other way, but Gio turned back Flora's gaze and reunited their gaze.

"I love you, Flora" said Gio.

Of love?

One word that can overturn a person's feelings.

Of love?

Something that is invisible, but can be felt by everyone.

Of love?

A feeling that comes from the heart.
