Last Wait

Episode 34

I walk in lethargy. I'm really disappointed in Axel. Until this morning I was still in badmood .

Actually I feel a little weird. Along the way from the campus archway to the front of the canteen everyone watched me incessantly. Is there something wrong with me?

Ahhh I don't care. My mood was bad today.

Ting

Message on my phone.

I saw on the phone chat screen from Nela.

Nella

We're in the canteen. Come here aja.

Read.

I already know they're in the cafeteria. There was no place for them to gossip other than in the cafeteria.

Eloquently. Their eyes looked at me constantly. I was afraid to see the people who had been watching me since.

Don't make my mood worse okay!

They could have run out, I'm afraid.

But I think there's something strange in me. Like there's less.

Butwhat? I don't know.

"Ehh lu Flora right?" Ask my classmate April.

He's this****what amnesia is anyway. The time he forgot me. Whenever there was a duty he always asked me.

"Yes that. Who else!" Ketus.

"Lu is so pretty." Say again.

"New know!" Ketusku again. I'm really pissed at him. I just left him.

This is a concern for men. If the girl is badmood again it should not be disturbed. It's the same as waking a hungry lion. If you do not want to be stuck with shoes, you better avoid it.

I walked to the cafeteria.

And I saw in the corner there's Nela, Dave and Axel Cs.

Ohh Nela can't move from there. I don't want to see Axel's face.

"Flora.." Call Nela enthusiastic. I approached them. Nela hugged me suddenly.

Especially this??

And Dave. He smiled with satisfaction at me.

Do they miss me so much? But it's impossible. Just met yesterday. Yes, even for a while because I was rushed to the hospital. And thank God that Kevin took me to the hospital, I feel better now.

But not as usual they are like this.

"Finally you show yourself the truth." Nela said then let go of her embrace.

Moreover, this means that I really understand. Serious ✌✌.

I looked at Axel, Albert and Alex. They were staring at me. Like such an idiot. To the extent that the cigarette Axel was holding fell onto the table.

What's the matter?

"Sit Flo." Take Dave. Then I sat in front of him. Next to me are Nela and Alex. Then in front of us were Dave, Axel and Albert.

Dave and Nela were smiling indistinctly. While Axel and the others did not blink looked at me.

Heiii

Did they catch the waiter for this canteen.

"Ehh everyone on why the hell? How are you worried about that?" I asked confused.

"Is there something strange on my face?" Ask again.

Ehh

Hold still.

My face??

I felt my face, my mouth and my hair.

Oh my god.

Double shit!!!!

What the fuck. Why can I forget to wear my wig and stirrup.

God, what happened after this. Will Axel recognize me.

I screamed to myself. Then I ran to the toilet. Just leave them alone.

I heard Nela calling me but I ignored her.

I went into the toilet and locked the door.

"Arghh stupid...stupid!!" I cursed myself.

How could I forget? God, my only request is one, so Axel doesn't recognize me.

That's my request for now.

Akhh how is this.

Everyone looked at me with such a strange look.

Anyone help me right now.

______

Flora no longer dared to go to the canteen. He went straight to class. In class, there are many people who swarm including most men.

Some ask for line id, WA number, BBM pin, and much more. Flo doesn't know what to say.

It's all because of his carelessness. He might have forgotten.

The longer the more people swarm in. Yesterday they were not like this. There was only Nela and Dave who were always next to her.

But now a lot of people are approaching him.

Flo just wanted to cry.

"Woii on what!" Dave's screams made the men turn towards the door.

"Uhh Dave's. You're my hero." Mumbled Flo.

Dave and Nela came near the crowd.

"What the hell is Dave. You disturb me. We're trying to win this angel's heart again." Said a student who kept looking at Flo who supported her chin with her hands and always smiled at Flo.

Flo really felt disgusted.

"Yes, but before you're satisfied looking at Flo's face. Your face was destroyed first." Said Dave walking toward the seat next to Flo." Move you this cave seat!" Dave exasperatedly said to a student sitting in his chair. The student stood up.

"You mean what?" Ask someone else. They don't understand what Dave's saying.

"Ohh you don't know yet? Flora's future WIFE Axel Frinandra Kusuma!" Dave emphasized the word Wife. All the students were shocked to not believe what Dave said.

"Seriously you." Said another.

"She asked Flo herself. Or ask Axel." Said Nela standing next to Dave. Nela smiled satisfied to see the students just disperse.

Yeah nobody wants to deal with Axel. The most disinclined person on this campus. Even the teachers are disinclined by him.

"Thanks, you guys have saved me." Flo. After the students disbanded.

Dave and Nela laughed together.

"Why?" Flo asked confusedly looking at her two best friends.

"Your face is funny when you're scared." Dave Ledek. Flo pursed her lips.

"But why did you leave earlier?" Nela asked after they stopped laughing.

"I'm ashamed." Answer Flo.

"Why should I be ashamed? Aren't you ready to show your true self?" Ask Dave.

"Not Dave. It's not intentional. I forgot to wear the same hair ." Answer Flo. His face looked annoyed at himself.

Hahahha

They both laughed again.

"Laughter keep going!" Ketus Flo's. Both of them were silent.

"Sorrys. Ah, don't think about it. Bring enjoy." Said Nela who rubbed Flo's arm. Flo nodded her head.

"OKs. That is. Later you should come with us hanging out. At the crossroads of the campus there is a newly opened Caffe. We'll try the menu there." Dave." Said." The cave doesn't want to hear rejection." Dave continues when Flo opens her mouth to reject Dave's invitation. Nela chuckled at Flo who snorted in annoyance.

"Everyone Dave wants to turn it around." Nela said with a small laugh. Dave stared hard at Nela.

"meaning?" Tanya Flo did not understand.

"Dave's ex-girlfriend Anya Axel's cousin." Nela said without regard to Dave's deadly plot.

"Ohh, I mean!" Flo said as she understood. Nela and Flo laughed out loud at Dave who snorted in annoyance and pursed his lips.

_______

They're already in Caffe where Dave said they were.

For Flo the atmosphere became very awkward and stiff. It was as if he had just met Axel, Alex and Albert. Axel who sat before Flo could only look at her with a look of admiration and disbelief.

"How could I not know if Flo's been hiding her beauty all along. And it turns out his hair and stirrups are just fake." Inner Axel.

"Woii don't look at Flo. Ntar is in love know your taste!" Said Albert who was at the end of the Flo line.

"What the hell are you! Can't be!" Axel denied it. Flo smiled wryly at Axel's words.

"It's common." He murmured in his heart.

"Why can you cover your true self?" Ask Alex. This was the toughest question Flo had to answer. It's like he's in a judge's judgment. Life imprisonment or death penalty.

Flo gulped his saliva with great difficulty. He doesn't know what to answer.

"Sorry I'm late." A woman's voice saves Flo from Axel's questions. Flo breathed in relief.

"Congratulations...." His inner.

"Ehhh Anya has arrived?" Ask Nela. Then they hugged.

The black haired beauty was Anya Anjani Axel's cousin.

"Jeez, Ann you're getting more beautiful." Praise Albert and they shake hands.

"Thank you. Hi Lex." Anya greeting Alex who sat next to Axel.

"Yes thats. Hii Dave." Now Anya turned to Dave who was next to Flo.

"Hi." Dave said stiffly. His heart really wanted to explode right now. Then Anya moved on to Flo.

Flo's the only one he doesn't know here.

"Hi am Anya Anjani." Anya said then she thrust her hand at Flo and was welcomed by Flo.

"Fuck." Answer Flo briefly. Anya was surprised to hear the name Flo.

"Flo. Flora?" Ask. Flo nodded her head and smiled." Flo's Axel's wife?" Ask again. Flo nodded her head stiffly. I don't know what Axel's expression is right now. Anya hugged Flo.

"Geez you are so beautiful. But Axel said you weren't attractive at all. Are his eyes blind." Anya gets upset at Axel who says Flo is not beautiful. Axel just raided it's unclear why Anya said that. Just watch out later she'll nag him.

"Sorry you haven't stopped by your place yet." Anya said and she let go of her embrace.

"No papa." Flo replied with a beautiful smile." O yes. You're Dave's ex, right?" Tanya Flo plain. Nela and the others were holding back their laughter. While Dave was embarrassed. And Anya her cheeks meet red. Probably shame.

"Not to be ashamed of that. Come sit. Right here next to Dave." Flo said then gently pushed Anya's shoulder until she sat down next to Dave.

"Death cave. You're looking for Flo's cave." Grumpy Dave in the heart. He condemned Flo's innocence. Albert and Alex are giggling.

The atmosphere becomes awkward between Dave and Anya.

Flo looked East at Caffe. He saw a man angry at a woman.

"Kevin?" Mumbled." I'm going there for a moment." Pamit Flo on them all. Flo approaches people he knows like Kevin.

"Kevin." Call Flo. And it's true he's Kevin.

"Lohs. Flo geez you.You're here?" Ask Kevin. He looks happy to see Flo there and with his real appearance.

"I'm my best friend." Show Flo to his best friends' seats." What are you doing here?" Ask back.

"This is the caffe I just opened." Said Kevin.

"Wahh congratulations yes. But how come you didn't tell me?" Flo pouting.

"sorry. I was just gonna tell you. Because yesterday you went to the hospital. I'm delaying telling you." Said Kevin. And he smiled at Flo who was pouting.

"O is. Why are you so angry so rich?" Flo asked and looked at the woman in front of Kevin.

"Oh this. He's a caffe singer here. But he said he couldn't sing because his voice was hoarse. Though today there are big people who come to put this caffe ad. And this is my chance to introduce this caffe Flo." Kevin said at length. Then he glanced at the woman before him in annoyance.

"Sorry sir." Said the woman in her hoarse voice. His voice was so hoarse that it was not good to hear.

"The Vin.. His voice was really hoarse. If you force him to feel sorry, right? And again your guests will definitely not like it later." Flo. It was a pity to see that woman.

"But Flo..

"Not extended anymore. Let him rest. And you don't try to fire him!" Firmly Flo to Kevin. I don't know why Kevin's following Flo. He is a stubborn man. No one can dispute that. But on Flo he couldn't squint.

"Where is that? How long." Nela. His eyes circled the entire caffe room but there was no Flo.

"So where did he say?" Ask Dave.

"He didn't say. Is the child lost?" Ask Nela.

"Ehh this Nelampir is Caffe. Not Grand Indonesia!!" Ketus Albert's.

"Brisik. The caterpillar is silent!!" Nela said no less cynical. Alex and Dave shook their heads looking at the two of them. Anya smiled a little. And Axel. As always. Face flat.

"That's not Flora, is it?" Anya asked who was pointing towards the small stage in front.

"Yes. What's the kid doing there?" Ask Dave to confusion. Similarly, Nela, Axel, Alex and Albert are also confused to see Flo who is there.

Why was Flo on stage?

Flo sat in the seat right in the middle of the stage covered with red carpet. He held a guitar and a mig that stood in front of him.

He looked back, smiled at an organist and nodded his head as if to signal.

Flo began strumming guitars and accompanied by an organ sound so melodious he sang.

Say something

Say something I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one if you want me too

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

Say something I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something I'm giving uo on you

And I swallow my Pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

Axel did not blink Flo who was on stage. He did not move when he heard Flo sing. Flo occasionally glanced at Axel. Their views meet. But Axel quickly shifted his eyes.

"Crazy. Flo's voice is so good, man!" Said Albert. The others simply nodded in agreement to Albert's words and kept their eyes staring at Flo who was in front.

Say something I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Oo.oo..

Say something I'm giving up on you

Say something's....

Flo ended the song. All the caffe visitors clapped their hands boisterously.

Flo smiled and then he went down from the stage to the seat of his friends.

"Oh my goodness Flo. Gua ga nyangka lu semerdu's voice" praised Nela enthusiastically.

"Ah Ne's. Just be usual." Answer Flo shyly.

"Flo you're cool. Seriously." Praise Albert.

They were all amazed at Flo. Axel. He's just plain ordinary.

"Flo." call someone from behind. Kevin approached Flo and stood in front of her. Suddenly Kevin hugged Flo tightly without caring about the people around them.

"God. Thanks Flo. thanks." said Kevin in the middle of their arms with enthusiasm.

So tight hugs Kevin until Flo difficult to breathe.

"Ehh i.iya Vin. But.remove.before I didn't.can nafass." Said Flo panting. Kevin let go of his embrace.

"Ehh sorry Flo. I'm so happy after all. You know my colleague agreed to advertise this caffe." Kevin said and hugged Flo gently again.

They look like a romantic couple.

"Yes are the same." Flo. Kevin breaks his arms to Flo. Kevin's happy face did not fade.

Without anyone realizing from earlier Axel who was beside them was holding back his emotions. Her face flushed. Nela, Dave, Anya, Alex and Albert. They only looked at the scene with shocked expressions.

"Sir. I'm waiting for Mr. Gilbert in the room of the Father." Said a waiter to Kevin who came to them.

"Ehhh well. I'll catch up." Answer Kevin. Waiters left them.

"Flo I'm there first." Kevin said to Flo. Flo nodded her head and smiled.

Kevin stepped his foot but he turned towards Flo. Suddenly Kevin kissed Flo on the cheek and said, "I LOVE YOU." Speech that Axel and the others could hear. And Kevin just passed by.

Flo's eyes glared perfectly at Kevin's action. His hand touched the cheek that Kevin had kissed earlier. I can't believe Kevin kissed her in front of a crowd, a friend, even her future husband.

Nela and Anya covered their mouths with their own hands. They don't believe what they see. Just like Dave, Alex and Albert, they were surprised.

Axels. His jaw was getting hardened and his hands were clenched perfectly.

Flo still remained motionless from where he stood.

Axel stood up and with full emotion he pulled Flo's hand forcefully carrying her out the caffe.

"Waw the drama's cool, bro." Said Albert. They could all just stare at Flo and Axel's increasingly distant back.

Until the parking lot of Flo who realized that he was pulled by Axel. Flo throws down the Axel check in his hand.

"What the hell Xel! Sick tau!" Ketus Flo's. The wound on his arm was still painful but Axel even tugged at his hand.

Axel's reddened eyes stared intently at Flo's eyes.

"You what a hug and kissed that guy in front of a lot of people! You're not ashamed!" Axel jerk on Flo.

"Stay I don't know she's gonna kiss me." Say Flo slowly.

"Alahhh reason. Tell him you have a special relationship with him. Why did he say I love you with you!" Axel said sharply.

"Yes I don't know." Answer Flo as it is." Why are you getting angry. You're the one who said I'm free to do anything." Flo. Reminds Axel of what he said last night.

Axel quiet. Can't say anything. He was trying to find an excuse.

"Yes. You see how there's Anya if she tells you how? Mama will be sad." Axel. That's just the reason.

"Just calm. Anya would definitely not tell mama. And I'll play with care." Flo replied casually. Flo uttered that just carelessly he still did not want to interact with Axel. He talks to Axel. It's not that he's the one who says don't use feelings in their relationship. Yes this is what it is.

Axel who heard Flo's words widened his eyes.

"Playing carefully? So they have a relationship?" Axel asked in his heart. He was still digesting Flo's speech. But Flo left leaving him just to get into the caffe.

What Axel felt. Only he and God know.
