Last Wait

The painful truth

Here's Flora. On the balcony above Zack's house. He was pensive, his eyes blankly leading to the children's playground. I don't know what he's thinking.

He's been like this for three days. Quiescent. Sometimes Flo just smiled bitterly if anyone asked her.

"Flo darling. Let's eat first. From last night you ate the balloons." Persuade Lena who comes with a tray of food for Flo.

Magdalene was the mother of Zack and the twin sister of Margaretta Mamah Flora. Their faces are very similar in only one difference they have Lena having a mole over the lips while Retta does not.

Flo just smiled faintly at Lena.

"When do you keep this up, baby?" Lena rubbed Flo's arm gently. He felt sad that Flo was becoming a gloomy person like this.

Flo did not respond. The view leads to the park.

"Flo you don't want Mommy to tell your mom and dad about your situation now?" Ask Lena. Hearing Lena Flo's words looking at her. Eyes widened.

"Don't bun. Don't tell them." Reply Flo with a face. Lena smiled as she knew Flo would never tell her parents about her situation because it would make them sad.

"You eat it. Just a little." Lena said it softly. Flo nodded her head.

"But Flo has one request." Flo.

"Whatis that? Say dear." Lena rubbed Flo's long hair.

"Please tell the story until Flo is born into this world. Flo wants to know everything." Flo looked at Lena.

Lena's face turned worried.

"No. You don't need to know about all that Flo!" Firmly Lena and cast her gaze in the other direction.

Flo immediately grabbed Lena's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Pliss bun's. I beg. It's time for Flo to know everything. I'm old enough to know all this. Why do you always cover it up?" Flo asked with a face pleading for her. But Lena still doesn't touch him.

"Bun pliss." Flo shook Lena's hand." I'm suffering so much with all these secrets." Flo finally shed her tears. But Lena didn't know it because she looked the other way.

"Mother." Call Flo and finally the sound of her crying is heard. Lena looked at Flo guiltily.

"Why are you crying, baby?" Ask Lena.

"Please tell me everything's bun." Pinta Flo again. Lena carried Flo in her arms and stroked her head.

"I'm sorry, Mother Flo. Mother has no right to tell that. Only your father and mother have the right to tell me that, dear." Lena said in a sad tone.

"But father and mother will never tell you the truth. I'm so tormented by all this." Flo said with a sniffle.

Lena doesn't know what to say. It was indeed all these secrets that Tian and Retta were asking not to tell Flo. Because they were afraid it would hurt Flora even more.

Without them noticing there was someone listening to their conversation in the back. Then the man came closer.

"Mother should just tell Flo everything. Don't you have any pity to see Flo getting tormented like this. It's actually not good for you to keep this a secret from Flo." Antonio Lena's husband. Lena released her embrace from Flo upon hearing her husband's voice. Then he looked back.

"Mother knows well. But all of this is a request from Tian mas and Retta mba. Mother can what?" Ask Lena. Then Antonio looked at Flo and smiled at her while rubbing her hair.

"Flo you take it easy I'll help you. I'll talk to your mom and dad later so they'll tell you everything." Antonio. And it made Flo smile and hug Antonio.

"Thank you father." Flo said enthusiastically. Antonio just nodded his head.

Lena simply smiled and shook her head at the closeness of Flo and her Husband

Antonio and Lena already regard Flo as their own daughter. They love him very much. Not just Flo but the other Flo brothers as well.

Sometimes Zack and Nathan pretend to be jealous of Flo because both of their parents love Flora so much. But it was just pretend because they also knew that her parents were doing it just to keep and protect Flora.

Skips

Flo's room remained dreamy. He sat on his bed with his legs extended and the bolsters he hugged.

Tok.dok-a.tok.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded. Until Lena entered with a face she approached Flo and sat down on the side of the bed.

"Flo dear this mama you want to talk. But sorry you told me everything. You know you can't lie to your mom." Lena said to Flo. Flo nodded in resignation hearing Lena's words. His hand reached out to receive the phone Lena gave him.

"Hello mah."

"Hello darling. How are you?"

"It's good this way. Mom, how are you?"

"We're all fine, baby. Lena's mother said you saw Reno again, right?"

"Mmm i.iya mah." Doldrumsily Flo answered her mother's question.

"What did he say?"

"He wanted to apologize but.." Flo's words hang.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Ga. Arin has no grudge. Arin was disappointed with him. Arin's best friend betrayed Arin." Flo said.

"Arin listen. You know it's heavy, son. But with you forgetting and forgiving it will be better. You knew you were hurt at the time. But that is God's destiny. Give Reno a chance to apologize. Once you forgive him, you'll be sure your heart will be calmer."

"Yes mah.Arin also hoped that way. Arin doesn't want anything stuck in Arin's heart anymore. Arin's tormented with it all."

"I'm sorry, Arin. Mama didn't mean to make you tormented, baby. Mom and Dad just don't want you to fall down later after hearing the truth."

"Mah Arin is old enough to know the real reason. Arin is strong to face that."

"alright sweetheart. Let Lena tell you everything. Mamah hope you won't hate mamah and dad for hiding this from you."

"Thank you mah. Nook. Arin can never hate mom and dad. Arin loves you all so much."

"Yes already then. Ask Lena to tell you everything, baby. Mom would never be able to tell you."

"Yes mah. Thanks though. Arin dear mama."

"Yes already. Mom, close it, baby."

Tut.tut..

Flo's face immediately became radiant after talking to Retta over the phone. Then Flo gave the phone to Lena.

"Well, we eat first." Take Lena to Flo with a sincere smile.

"Eat it later aja bun. I want your mom to tell a story now, okay?" Flo.

"Yes already. But you promise after the story all mommy hope you never change, baby." Pinta Lena on Flo while rubbing her head. Lena was afraid that the Flora she knew changed later after hearing the bitter reality.

Flo nodded her head and smiled. Then he folded his legs into a cross. He's ready to listen to Lena's story. Although later this will hurt his heart but this is his decision as well.

Lena breathed a slight glance towards the window, as if she was glaring at the incident.

The flashback

There were four friendly men. They are very compact, there is always one with the other, and always help each other. They are Christian (father of Flo), Robert (father of Axel), Daniel and Bram. They have always been together since High School until entering college they stay together. Bram can actually be said to be a cupu. Because he wears large round glasses, he is always afraid of people who want to bother him and he always hides behind his three other best friends.

But Bram has a different nature than them. He is a closed person and never open to his friends. Despite that, their friendship remained as usual until Tian proposed to Retta, and everything changed.

Bram envies Tian for successfully possessing Retta. Retta and Tian had been dating for a long time but they never told anyone else except Robert and Daniel. While Bram they didn't tell him because he always didn't care.

After graduating college Daniel and Tian build a company together, while Robert continues his parent company because he is an only child. Maybe it was a fortune for Tian and Daniel the company they built was well developed. And that makes Bram envious of them.

Bram felt Tian had snatched everything from him. It should be him who owns Retta, it should be him who owns the Tian and Daniel companies. Until one day Bram has a great desire to destroy Tian's life.

On the day of the wedding Tian and Retta Bram were absent. He disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth. Robert and Daniel tried to find him, but they did not find him.

One year after Tian married Retta they had a daughter named Faustina. They're very happy.

Daniel married Wulan and had a daughter.

Robert and Ambar are married but still bear the fruit of their love.

The three friends were very happy. With their lives feeling perfect.

Bram was greeted happily by his three best friends. But he was not happy with the happiness of each of his friends. He was determined to make the Tian family crumble.

On the eve of Tian and Retta's wedding day. Bram framed Tian with Wulan's wife Daniel.

The incident was witnessed by Retta and Daniel. But Robert finds out that the mastermind of all this is Bram. With emotions already mounting Tian and Daniel came to Bram's house.

"Well there's this important business that you come to my house these nights?" ask Bram without feeling guilty.

Without babibu Daniel immediately beat Bram blindly. Tian and Robert immediately passed it.

"And we can finish this with a cold head" Tian said, holding Daniel's body.

"There is no cold head for a traitor like him Tian. Barbarians!" Daniel screams right in Bram's face.

"What are you saying and I don't understand!" bram pretended not to know.

"Didn't understand what you said ********! You framed my wife to sleep with Tian. Goddamn it!!" daniel yelled at Bram.

"What are you saying!" ketus Bram's.

"No need to dodge Bram. I heard all your conversations with that waitress. You gave Tian and Wulan alcohol." replied Robert who held Bram's body. After hearing Robert Bram's words, Robert's body was blown away. And Bram laughed out loud his evil side had come out.

"It's good that you know my plan. So I don't have to be tired of hiding it from you guys." said Bram proudly.

"What do you mean Bram?" tanya Tian who had released Daniel's body.

"Mmm I mean?" Bram tapped his finger on his chin as if thinking.

"I just ruined your life!" Shouted Bram and pointed at Tian.

They were all surprised.

"Me! What's wrong!?" ask Tian.

"You've taken everything I wanted. The woman I love, Retta." said Bram. Hearing that Tian felt furious and hit Bram's face repeatedly.

"Suckers! Turns out you've been after my wife all this time!" continued Tian beating Bram's face mercilessly until bram was helpless again. Instead of retaliating or evading Bram, he laughed like a madman.

"Truly a traitor's friend!" tian shouted and released Bram from his grip.

"I never thought of you as friends. You're the only one who believes in me too much." Bram smiled cunningly.

Now Robert couldn't hold back his emotions. He kept Bram blindly until Bram's wife came to see him and Robert released Bram.

"What are you guys doing?!" asked Bram's crying wife by hugging Bram who had been stuck on the floor.

"A traitor deserves that!" ketus Daniel with reddened eyes and a scary face. Then the three of them left Bram's house without knowing what happened afterwards.

Three weeks later Wulan's wife Daniel positively conceived Tian's child. That fact broke Retta, Tian, Daniel and Wulan's own hearts.

But with full keichalasan Retta accept it all. He knew his husband didn't want to betray him because Tian loved him so much. Plus that they were framed by Bram.

Wulan repeatedly tried to abort the womb but always thwarted Daniel. Wulan did not accept her pregnancy she felt the child she was carrying was a problem carrier in her life. Another case with Daniel who happily accepts the pregnancy of Wulan even though it is not the Seed.

Eight months later Wulan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named by Tian and Daniel. Flora named after Tian Chatarina named after Daniel.

Flashback end

Hearing the story Lena Flo smiled bitterly.

"So that's why I'm hated by my real mother?" flo's murmur in the heart.

Flo flinched as Lena touched his shoulder.

"Flo mother hope that after you know everything you never hate anyone dear." Lena hugged Flo.

"Ga bun's. Even Flo was calm to know everything. Flo ain't gonna hate nobody" said Flo still in Lena's arms.

"Where do you want Bram now?" ask Flo. Lena let go of his embrace.

"Once darling. Since that incident he just disappeared." said Lena.

Someone's voice shocked them both.

"Haloo baby!!" Shouted Zack who entered the room without knocking on the door first.

Flo and Lena grimaced together.

"Zack this isn't a forest! Don't yell!" ketus Lena on Zack. The man only showed the grin of his horse.

"Ehh there's mom. Sorry bun. Habit." said Zack then came up to them and kissed Lena on the cheek. That's his habit.

When Zack wants to kiss Flo on the cheek. Flo quickly poked Zack with the bolster he hugged.

"Lu stink! Don't be whittling!" ketus Flo by continuing to beat up Zack.

"Ehh.ehh carelessly. The cave smells yes." said Zack this time he wanted to hug Flo. And succeed. It made Flo claustrophobic because she was hugged with Erat.

"Bundaaa.." whine Flo while banging Zack's shoulder. Lena who saw that shook her head.

"Now it is better to take a shower. Don't look for trouble with Flo." said Lena, who was picking up Zack's ear.

"Ehh.ehh i.yeah. Sick.sick.. It's not anymore." Zack grimaces and releases Flo from his arms. Flo laughed giggling.

"Mandi now Zack!" lena's orders.

"I.iya mother. But how do I want to shower my ears mother jewel continues." said Zack. Then Lena took her hand off Zack's ear. Zack rubbed his hot ears by pursing his lips.

"Yes already Flo. Mother ready to eat dinner first. You followed ya." said Lena softly. Flo nodded her head in agreement.

"Sama Flo just said it softly." Zack grumbled.

"You don't need to be softened!" ketus Lena's. Zack just grumbled indistinctly. But she knows her parents are just pretending to say that because Lena is upset with Zack's pranks on Flo.

"Yes, you've come out." said Lena then walked to the door to get out.

Flo laughed at the look on Zack's face. Feeling ridiculed Zack glanced at Flo and raised next to his eyebrows.

"Why are you laughing!?" pissed Zack. But Flo just shook her head with a laugh.

Zack brought his head closer to Flo he wanted to whisper something.

"Lu know. There was a cave to meet your future husbands." whispered Zack by emphasizing the word prospective husband. Hearing that Flo chuckled and her eyes widened.

"What did he say?" ask Flo.

Zack keeps his head away from Flo's ear.

"Rahasi!" zack said with a mysterious smile.

"Zack tell me what he said?" tanya Flo was curious.

"Ga ga don't want to tell you. The cave wants to take a bath" Zack said, then walked to the door.

"Zack! Tell me what did he say?!" Flo half yelled he started to get upset. Then throw a roll at Zack.

Zack laughed out loud.

"Ga will cave you in." said Zack by sticking out his tongue. Then he went out and closed the door.

"Zig-zag watch out!!" peekkik Flo from the room. Zack was just giggling at the door.

"ZACK YOU APAIN FLO!!!" Scream Lena from below. Zack gulped his saliva with great difficulty.

"Gak ko mah. Ga Zack what-what-so." shouted Zack from above. Then he ran to his room. Before Lena approached him and gave him a burst of hot lava.
