I Want to Be Loved

I Want to Be Loved
Happy for you



The plane that Gio and Flora were boarding landed at Jakarta's city airport at exactly 8 p.m. Flora, Gio, and Abi return first from the others.


The three got off the plane and went straight to the pick-up.


"All that?" ask Gio.


"Already" replied Abi and Flora.


"Let me bring it." Gio took over the suitcase from Flora's hand.


"No need for me to take it myself" Flora refused.


"If you carry a suitcase .. I won't be able to hold your hand" Gio said.


"Huh mode," said Flora.


The two again put their hands together and stepped together towards the exit. At the exit, the car that picked them up was waiting. Soon they got into the car and sat down on each seat.


"Pak Edi, to Flora's house first yes," asked Gio who was immediately embraced by Mr. Edi.


"Okay, Mas Gio." Edi turned the car engine back on.


The car driven by Mr. Edi drove away from the airport area.


Feeling tired after spending all day on the island of Gods, making Flora fall asleep. Gio who saw that leaned Flora's head against his shoulder to make it more comfortable.


Silence took over the atmosphere in the car, no one made a sound. Abi also falls asleep and Gio prefers to look outside the car. Looking at the night view of Jakarta.


Not long after the car driven by Mr. Edi entered the village road. Damaged roads make cars drive carefully.


Feeling the speed of the car was uncomfortable making Flora wake up. Flora rubbed her eyes and circulated her gaze. It turned out that he was almost at his house.


"Why don't you wake me when you're there" protested Flora.


"You slept well" said Gio.


Finally the car that Flora rode up to also in front of her house. Flora breathed a sigh of relief from reaching her home safely.


Abi and Edi got off the car first to get Flora's things out. Flora and Gio are in the car.


"Thank you for everything" said Flora.


"I'll give you everything I can, Flora. As long as I can see your happiness" said Flora.


"Ck, why are you so sweet like this." Flora showed her smile to Gio.


"It's down there, or I'll take you to my house" Gio said.


"You didn't stop by?" ask Flora.


"I even want to stay over and sleep with you" Gio joked.


"Jn ...." Flora gave a deadly look at Gio.


"Don't look at me like that! It's late, I don't want to bother your mother" Gio said.


"Alright, please give my gift to your father, give my greetings to him," said Flora.


"It's cheating, Flora .. you give me souvenirs for my papa, but for me it's not," protested Gio.


"I'm sorry, I don't know what to give you" Flora said.


"No problem, I've got your heart." Gio rubbed the side of Flora's face and landed a kiss on Flora's forehead.


"Good night, Flora" said Gio.


"Good night too, Gio," Flora replied.


Flora got down from the car and waved her hand towards Gio.


"Send my regards to your mother, Flora," said Gio with a nod of his head by Flora.


Flora waved her hand towards Gio's already speeding car. When the car was gone from sight, Flora went into her house.


Flora reached into her bag to retrieve the spare key to her house. After the door opened Flora came in and closed the door slowly so as not to wake her mother up.


"Modore ...." Her mother's voice surprised Flora.


"Mom, why surprise me?" Flora took a breath and then exhaled back.


"sorry. Who did you think she was?"


Flora kisses her mother's hand. "So Flora was escorted by Gio, but she didn't stop by."


"Yes, you rest there" said Seruni.


Flora nodded at her mother's words. "But before that .. 'cause Mom's up so I want to give a gift to Mom."


Flora circulated her gaze to look for her mother. I went to the bathroom, but I haven't returned yet. Flora decides to go to the kitchen to see her mother.


"Why are you again?" ask Flora.


"It's mama making you warm tea."


Flora approached her mother and grabbed her mother's shoulder from behind.


"Mr ...." Flora put her chin on her mother's shoulder.


"What's up, son?" ask Seruni.


"Gio proposed to Flora while in Bali." Flora shows a circular ring on her ring finger.


Seruni closed her mouth in surprise. His heart was so happy to hear the good news from Flora. Seruni turned around and grabbed both of Flora's palms then grasped them.


"Congratulations, son. Mom's just horrified." Seruni noticed the circular ring on Flora's ring finger.


There was a sense of relief in his heart, his son had already found a loved one and loved him.


"Oh yes, ma'am .. the day after Gio's dad took us to dinner. He said there was something to discuss with Mom, ", said Flora.


"Yes, Son. I can't wait to see Gio's dad either. I was curious about him," said Seruni.


Flora re-captured her mother's body. There were tears of happiness dripping from Flora's eyes.


Seruni was the same, he shed tears for the happiness of his son.


"Let's have some warm tea. Then show it for mom." Seruni pulled away after rubbing Flora's back.

Elsewhere and at the same time.


The news of Gio proposing to Flora has reached Daniel's ears. He also saw the video of the moment on Gio's social media accounts. Daniel smiled a thin smile full of wounds to see the happiness of his cousin and ex-lover.


Though his heart ached, but Daniel was also happy. Eventually Flora finds someone who can take care of her and love her.


Daniel decides to go to a nightclub. Maybe he will drink a little to relieve the pain in his heart.


Daniel sat down at the bar table and ordered a drink with a low alcohol content.


"Mas, one yes," Daniel asked a bartender.


Daniel tapped his finger at the bar table to wait for his drink.


"Are you heartbroken?"


Daniel turned his head. On the side was a woman.


"You talk to me?" ask Daniel.


"Is there anyone else sitting here besides you?" ask the woman back.


"So .. are you heartbroken?" The woman repeated the same question to Daniel.


"Sokay know" said Daniel in a cold tone.


"You yourself ... What are you doing here? Are you heartbroken too?" ask Daniel back.


"Sokot know." The woman tried to reply to Daniel.


Daniel snorted, but the corner of his lips showed a smile.


"The woman I dated for 5 years, will finally be the wife of my cousin's sister." Daniel finally revealed what his heart was. "But they have known each other not long ago."


"I also love my little friend, but he's marrying the woman he just met." The woman finally told him about the problem she kept in her mind.


I don't know what Daniel and the woman were feeling. Just got to know each other and they've been telling me their problems. Maybe because I feel comfortable.


The woman looked at the time on the clock that was coiled around her wrist.


"It's late, I'm coming home." The woman moved out of her chair. "See you later."


"Wait!" Daniel prevented the woman from leaving.


"What's wrong?" The woman looked at Daniel.


"I'm Daniel." Daniel stretched his hand towards the woman.


The woman saw Daniel's hand outstretched toward her.


"I'm Maura." Finally the woman welcomed Daniel's hand.


Tomorrow Flora's birth father is revealed yes. See you in the next chapter.
