I Want to Be Loved

Your smile My happiness

Flora returns to her house after Gio returns home. Flora locked the main door of her house, then directed her eyes to look at the door of her mother's room still closed. Flora wanted to knock on her mother's room door. However, Flora again abandoned her intentions and returned to her own room.

Flora chose to sit on the bed with a pillow. He leaned his back against the wall.

Why is my mother selfish like that? I just want to meet my dad.

Flora's tears were still flowing. He felt sad mixed with annoyance. However, Flora suddenly recalled Gio's words. The man with the status of his lover asked to see it from the point of view of his mother.

Flora raised her head, and looked at the ceiling of her room. For a moment she imagined herself to be her mother. Imagining herself loving Gio so much, they go on a married relationship with no marriage bond. And after that, suddenly Gio left her and there was no news at all of being pregnant.

Flora shook her head to get rid of her thoughts, because she could no longer imagine herself going through something like her mother. Flora immediately put away that extremely terrifying shadow. Now Flora knows how her mother feels. The reason why her mother did not want to meet the man who made her grow in her mother's womb.

Soon Flora wiped her tears and came out of her room to meet her mother and apologize to the woman who had given birth to her.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Mr ...." Flora knocked on the door and called her mother.

There was no support from his mother. However, not long before the door opened from within. As the door opened, Flora noticed that there was a trace of crying in her mother's eyes. Flora felt so guilty seeing her mother cry.

"Flora, I'm sorry, ma'am." Flora hugged her mother. "Flora apologizes for forcing Mom to look for you without thinking about your feelings" Flora said.

"Mom's sorry too, Flora. To be honest, my heart still hurt when the man left my mother. After what we did, he said he would take responsibility, but in fact he left without even telling his mother first" Seruni explained.

"After she leaves, she can think that she doesn't want a mother, because even until you're born she doesn't come, Flora. So ... why are we looking for such a person," continued Seruni.

"And I don't want if later you have met your real father, he will take you from his mother or do not believe if you are his biological child" continued Seruni.

"Let us live together like this. The important thing is that we live quietly" said Seruni.

"Yes, Mom. Flora promises from now on Flora won't force mom again. Flora will assume that Flora's late adoptive father is Flora's only father" Flora said.

Both are withdrawing. The mother and son wiped each other's tears and smiled. After that Seruni brought Flora to sit on the edge of the bed with her.

"Son, can you ask?" ask Seruni.

"Byeah, Mom." Flora nodded her head.

"You and Gio are really together? What about your relationship with Daniel? And also how will Gio's parents respond later?" ask Seruni.

Flora was silent because she felt confused to answer the consecutive questions from her mother.

"Flora why stay quiet? Is something wrong?"

"Mom, take it easy .. nothing. Flora was just confused to answer the question where the mother used to be," replied Flora followed her piety.

"You're making me worry." Seruni pulled Flora's nose.

"Do'ain us yes, ma'am. I hope Mr. Farhan will bless us. And as for Daniel ...before Gio and I decided to be together, we had already sincerely ended our relationship. We're tired of having to argue with Ms. Mariana" Flora said.

"Yes already then. For the mother your happiness is all that matters. I just want you to be happy with the man who loves you so much, son," said Seruni.

Flora nodded her head and hugged her mother again.

"It's late, you rest there," said Seruni.

"Yes, Mom." Flora pulled away from her mother's embrace. "Mom rest too."

"Yes, son." Seruni rubbed his son's head.

"Flora to the room first. Good night, ma'am," said Flora.

"Good night, son," said Seruni.

Flora came out of her mother's room and returned to her own room. Inside Flora's room breathed a sigh of relief, her heart feeling happy and relieved after speaking to her mother.

"Maybe it's best for me as well as for mom" Flora murmured.

Flora yawned several times, it felt sleepy. She wanted to sleep, but Flora remembered that she had not yet taken a bath. Flora took the towel and came out of her room. Flora stepped her foot into the bathroom.

Flora came out of the bathroom after she finished cleaning. Soon Flora returned to her room to rest. Flora threw herself on the bed and pulled the blanket over to cover part of her body.

As she was about to close her eyes, her phone rang to wake Flora up. His hand moved to grab his phone that was nearby. His smile expanded upon seeing the name 'Gio' on his phone screen. Flora swiped the green button to receive the call.

"Hello, Honey. You all right?" ask Gio.

"Yes, I'm fine and it's thanks to you" said Flora.

"What about your mother?" ask Gio.

"Mom's fine too. I've spoken to mom. And also me and mom have agreed not to look for dad" said Flora.

"Are you sure, my dear?"

"Yes, Gio. I don't want you to be sad because you keep remembering the past."

"Good then."

Silence took over their chat on the phone line. Until finally Gio returned to voice.

"Flora, forget the person who made you have a reason to cry and be sad."

"Yes, Gio."

"If you need a backrest .. I'm ready to lend you my shoulder."

"Why are you so sweet?"

"But it's not free, my dear."

Flora rolled her eyeballs. He should be able to guess if Gio would ask for a reward.

"Well, what's the reward?"

"Be my wife."

Flora chuckled after hearing her lover's request.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Are you proposing to me right now?"

"Take that?"

"Don't you have a more romantic way to propose to me?" flora Ledek.

"Stop laughing and get to bed! Just beware that tomorrow you're late for the office."

"All right, my boss." Flora looked at her lips to hold back the laughter. "It's late, you get some rest."

"Alright, Sweetheart. I hung up the phone" Gio said.

"Gio, wait a minute!" prevent Flora.

"Otherwise, My dear? Don't you want to separate from me? Well then I'll come to your house right now with Papah to get us married straight away" Gio joked.

"Gio .. Stop kidding."

Flora heard Gio's naughtiness from across the call.

"Okay, what's up, Honey?"

"Thank you, for everything. You always know how to make me laugh."

"Because your smile is happiness for me, Flora. Smile always for me."

"All right, I hung up. See you ..," said Flora.

"See you later" said Gio. "Flora .. I love you."

"I love you so much too, Gio."

Flora ends her phone call with Gio and puts her phone back on the table not far from her bed. Flora slowly began to close her eyes hoping that a beautiful dream would come to her sleep.
