Triying

The sound of the alarm clock that continued to sound disturbed Flora's deep sleep, she wriggled and her hands stretched out to reach the clock that stood on the nightstand.05.30

Flo rubbed his eyes, he pulled the blanket out of his body and got out of his bed.

Then he walked to the bathroom.

Out of the bathroom he went straight to the kitchen. Prepare ingredients for cooking. He wanted to try cooking fried rice for Axel this morning. Although he doesn't know but Flo will try.

At exactly seven o'clock he finished cooking, and Axel was tidy with his white shirt and suit.

Coinciding when Flo was in front of Axel's room door, Axel came out of his room with an office bag that he held. Axel raised both of his eyebrows as if asking "what's wrong?" Flo smiled.

"Breakfast?" he said." I cooked the fried rice." Flo continued with a sincere smile.

"Cooking? Isn't he cooking?" ask Axel in your heart. For a moment he was confused but then Axel nodded his head.

Axel arrived at the dining table and sat down on a chair.

"This is my first meal, I hope you understand if it will taste strange. I've been trying." said Flo nervously.

When you want to spoon rice into Axel's plate, the bell sounds.

"Who's coming early." muttered Flo and stopped the movement of his hand.

"Just open the door. Let me take the rice." Axel said. Flo smiled and walked towards the door.

Flo pulled up the door and saw a woman standing arrogantly in front of the door.

Flo had not had time to ask or invite to enter, the woman had broken through and nudged Flo's shoulder.

Flo's face that was sparkling now became grim.

"Other thing is going to happen?" whispered Flo in my heart.

Nadya came to Axel who was at the dining table. When Axel wanted to feed the fried rice into his mouth Nadya half shouted. Sontak Axel lowered his spoon.

"Darling! Whose cooking is this?" nadya asked who was next to Axel.

"Nadya, how are you here?" ask Axel back. He was surprised to see Nadya who suddenly came to the apartment without telling first.

"Don't you like me here?" nadya's face pretended to be sad." Yeah I just went home" he continued and turned his body to leave immediately.

"Eh, honey wait. Don't go." Axel blocked Nadya's wrist.

"Don't be angry dong. I'm just surprised you're suddenly here. I'm glad you're here." Axel said, and Nadya turned her body to Axel, smiling at him.

"I don't think you like me here" Nadya said, sitting next to Axel.

"Whose cooking is this?" nadya asked who pointed at the fried rice that was in front of Axel.

"Flora." Axel replied. Flo arrived at the dining table.

"Don't you say he can't cook?" ask Nadya again. Flo's heart slipped hearing Nadya's words.

"That's it.I'll have breakfast later I'm late to the office" said Axel in the end and wanted to feed the fried rice to his mouth. But Nadya quickly prevented it. Axel's confused.

"You don't eat this. He's not good at cooking. It must have been devastated" said Nadya and took a spoon from Axel's hand.

"That's it. Give me the spoon." said Axel. He wanted to taste Flo's first dish. Nadya did not touch Axel's words, she instead spooned the fried rice into her mouth and chewed it for a while.

A moment later Nadya spouted the rice in her mouth onto the floor.

Phiuhh

"What fried rice is this! So salty!" screech Nadya and gulp down the glass of water that was in front of Axel.

Flo's eyes widened. He did not know if the fried rice was salty because he had not had time to taste it.

"Darling you don't eat this. It's so salty. Did he spill all the salt here" said Nadya Sinis and kept the fried rice away from Axel.

"If you can't cook don't be smart. Axel can't eat salty food. What if he eats it. Are you going to kill him!" nadya said to Flo fiercely.

Flo was shocked to hear Nadya's words. He didn't know if Axel couldn't eat salty food.

"Huh! You don't know much about Axel. What kind of wife!" ketus Nadya's. His words managed to make Flo's eyes glazed but not to shed tears.

"Sorry." said Flo.

Axel looked at Flo. There was a sense of unbearability tucked in his heart.

"Honey already. Let's just go. We'll have breakfast outside." Soon Nadya pulls Axel's hand out of there. Leaving Flo still in front of the dining table.

They left without saying goodbye to Flo.

After making sure they went Flo sat on the chair. He could not hold back his tears anymore. She cried.

Like a doormat Flo snatched all that fried rice and brutally devoured it with tears that continued to flow nonstop. With the sound of crying that continued to be heard he forced himself to chew the food and swallow it forcefully and correctly it felt completely destroyed.

Flo. But without stopping he continued to eat his homemade fried rice until it ran out and there was nothing left. He vented all his pain on the fried rice. He hoped that the taste of fried rice could disguise the destruction of his heart. But in fact it's not.

The fried rice had run out but Flo was still crying.

"When it's all over." - I hate my life. I hate!!" he accidentally threw the plate in front of him.

Praangggggggs

The plate broke on the floor. Flo lowered her head and piled her forehead on the table. He was crying and kept crying.

_

Flo is currently on the balcony. As usual, he looked up at the sky filled with stars. He seemed to be hypnotized by the starlight so that he did not realize if Axel had gone home.

Axel who had just arrived saw the balcony door open. He walked a little closer to the balcony door.

When Axel wanted to make a sound, to ask Flo to come in. He was silent to the soft words of Flo who was still staring at the sky.

"Can someone take me away from this world? I'mtired. I'm tired of all this." Flo's crying.

"Fire. If only papi hadn't saved me just yet. Maybe I am happy with God. Why did papi save me. Papi knows I hate my life so much. I want to catch up with Papi right now. Maybe papi's happy in heaven. But I'm suffering here. Can we switch places?".

Axel stared at Flo's words. He did not understand what Flo was saying.

"What does that mean? What does that mean?" ask Axel in your heart. His mind struggled with questions he could not answer. Flo's crying voice drew her to the real world.

"Take me away." said Flo softly and continued to cry without realizing Axel's presence standing right behind him.

Now Flo hugged his leg which he put up on the chair.

Axel doesn't know what to do. He chose to leave Flo on the balcony without telling her to come in.

Arrive in the room. After he cleaned his body Axel put his body on the mattress with both hands as a cushion.

"What did Flo mean?" ask him to himself.

"Bapy? Why did he call papi. He called Father Tian instead of papi. Then who?" those questions kept Axel on himself. He's confused. He doesn't understand.

Slowly Axel closed his eyes and anchored into the dream world.

23.30

Axel woke up from his sleep.

He got up from the bed and went to the kitchen. It turns out he's thirsty.

After sipping a glass of water he walked to his room to continue his sleep. His steps stopped when his skin felt the greeting of the wind that felt very stinging and piercing the skin.

A very cold night wind.

His eyes were fixed on the balcony door that was still open. His forehead wrinkled.

"Is he not asleep?" ask in the heart.

Axel stepped towards the balcony. How surprised Axel saw Flo's current position.

Flo sat on the balcony floor with her hands hugging her legs and her head bowing above her knees.

"Flo" said Axel but not in Flo gubris.

"Flora." call Axel again. But Flo still didn't hear it.

"Flo said you were out in the middle of the night like this. Don't you know the night wind is not good for health" Axel said at length. Flo did not flinch.

Until Axel touches Flo's arm. Flo staggered to the side.

"God! Did he fall asleep here?" he murmured. "and wear this thin shirt?" continued again.

Yes, Flo only uses short-sleeved thin shirts and knee-length pants.

Axel carries Flo's body into the room. And lay him on Flo's bed.

As Axel laid Flo's body. Look at Flo's eyes.

"Did she cry all that time? Until her eyes are so swollen?" axel Mumbled. He pulled the blanket and covered Flo's body to the chest.

Axel sat on the side of the bed. His hand caressed Flo's hair.

"What happened to you?" axel Mumbled. He doesn't know what happened to Flo.

"No. I don't want to!"

"Go you! I'm not a murderer!''

Axel was surprised to hear Flo's delirium. Flo moved as if he was wriggling from someone's grip.

"Flo.." call Axel and keep moving Flo's arm.

"Mommy geez..."

Flo cried in his delirium. While Axel keeps calling Flo's name hoping he wakes up from his dream.

"Flora!" Axel screeched slightly until Flo calmed down and still remained asleep.

Axel breathed his leg.

"What happened to him."

Just that you keep spinning in Axel's head. Thirty minutes he accompanied Flo until he was sure that Flo would no longer be delirious.

Axel walked out of Flo's room and closed the door slowly.

Up in his room Axel broke down his body and stared at the ceiling of the room.

He remembered Zack's words when Flo collapsed on the edge of the park because of the slap of an unknown person.

"Removing trauma?" muttered.

"What do you mean?" Axel changed his sleeping position sideways.

"What makes Flo delirious like that?" I don't know who it was.

"Kill out? Mommy?" that's what Axel kept saying until his eyes slowly closed.

Actually Axel was curious about Flo's life since the incident in the park. Many things entered his mind. But he never dared to ask Flo that question. He wanted to wait for the right time.

I don't know when the right time is. He himself does not know.
