Lily Flowers for Prince

27. Crushed Cake and Perfume Fragrance

Wini slowly walked out by stepping back from her car with a box of cookies in her hand. Wini had bought a cheese cake with a layer of strawberry jam for Lily. Because Wini knows Lily likes her. Just as Wini closed the car door and turned around, she suddenly hit someone. Wini didn't realize anyone was there. The cake box in his hand fell quite far from his feet. Wini looked at the cake box that fell in reverse position. He's sitting limp.

"Yaaah must have broken the cake" Wini muttered as she looked at the box with sadness.

"I'm sorry I was in a hurry so it hit you" The man who Wini just hit crouched down next to Wini. Wini instantly like hypnotized when smelling the fragrance of her perfume.

"Eau D’Hadrien ..mmmmhhh" he said slowly as he blinked. He mentioned the brand of parfume that he was breathing in his fragrance. Fresh citrus citrus and lemon aroma. He is familiar with this fragrance.

The man in front of him laughed. Making Wini aware.

"I'm sorry, I didn't look back if a.da. an.da" said Wini, he again blinked as soon as he saw the face of the man who was about 30 centimeters away from his face. Why are there suddenly bulls here? thought Wini was confused, then rubbed his eyes maybe he was hallucinating.

"Let's help. You seem really surprised. Again sorry yes"The man helped Wini stand up. Wini felt her legs suddenly limp, because what she saw was indeed real. He is not hallucinating.

"The cake is broken, then I change it "The man took the cake box that fell on the carport floor.

"It's okay koq. Don't need to replace. Excuse me" Wini grabbed the box and tried to rush into the house. But he almost hit a palm tree near the entrance stairs. So groinny. With a stiff breath and heart pounding, Wini finally made it into Lily's room.

Wini sat down in front of Lily and placed the dented cake box on the carpet. His breath is still stinging.

Lily looked at him in wonder.

"Why are you, Wi? you sick?"Lily fingered Wini's forehead. Not hot. Wini shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Ly. The cake had fallen. It's broken"

Lily looked at the cake box before her. Then open. The cake is no longer irregular. The cake was made "mmmh strawberry jam cheese cake. It still tastes good" Lily murmured.

"The cake is just broken, not dirty, Wi. is still edible. Thanks, Wi" said Lily. Then move to the kitchen to pick up a small plate and spoon.

Wini was still busy with the shadow of the bule man she had just hit. Why is Lily's house a bule? As far as he knows, the Lily family is native to Bandung there are a few descendants of Arabs. And......Aaah citrus citrus and lemon fragrance from the parfume was still attached to the sense of smell. That bothers him a lot. He likes that fragrance, but there are bad memories of it.

Flashback - Wini

Wini has prepared a special gift for Jamie on his birthday. A perfume with a fragrance that Jamie must have liked. Fresh citrus citrus and lemon fragrance. Wini once invited Jamie to the wedding of cousin Jamie, he heard Jamie while receiving a call from his friend who had just returned from paris. She seemed disappointed that her perfume order was not brought by her friend.

It was about two weeks before Jamie's birthday. Wini contacts Elisa, her cousin's sister who happens to be finishing her studies in Paris. Wini please buy two bottles of perfume . One for Jamie, and one for him. This perfume can be worn by both men and women. Wini was curious about the smell as well. Finally the perfume was sent by being entrusted to one of his friends Elisha who was going home to Jakarta.

On Jamie's birthday, Mami and her Papi Jamie come to Jakarta and invite some relatives to celebrate. All give gifts especially Wini. And Jamie was forced to return to the apartment during her parents' visit. At that time Wini and Jamie were still pretending that their marriage was fine.

Wini hopes that by giving Jamie the gift of something that Jamie really wants, will make Jamie change his attitude to him, can make Jamie know that Wini cares about him.

But the next day when Jamie's parents are home, Jamie is getting ready to leave. Then hand over the perfume gift from Wini.

"you don't bother to find out what I want. I can still buy it. You better keep it. Who knows, you can give it to a man who really loves you" said Jamie while leaving the sculpting Wini. Until then Wini could not hold his tears fell.

Flashback off

Wini awakens from her daydream as Lily returns with a small plate and spoon in her hand.

"We ate the cake. Here's to you, Wi" Lily placed a small dish of saru spoon cake in front of Wini. Then another one he held and directly devoured it.

"Maasyaa Allah, very good cake, Wi. you still remember yes that this is one of my favorite cakes. maacih ya Wini cayaaang" lily said after spending a spoonful of cake that looked like a mound because it was destroyed.

Wini smiled shyly. "Together with Lily Ikaaang". Lily always tries to make the mood fun

"You fell over or what about Wi, up to this dented box?" ask Lily curiously. As Lily knew, Wini was the one who never grasak grusuk. Worried that he fell because he slipped. Because Wini is thinking about the divorce process, maybe he is not focused on walking.

"I didn't see anyone behind me walking. As soon as I closed the car door and turned around I hit the guy and then I fell. Because the man was tall and seemed to be very strong. I fell and the cake came to the floor"Wini told me about it. Of course he did not tell the moment when he almost lost consciousness because of the scent of perfume and almost hit the palm tree because of groggy.

Lily seemed to think.

"Maybe bang Rico hit you earlier Wi. I saw that she just came by when you were going downstairs to get some cake" Lily said.

"The guy's tall and his face is European, right?" ask Lily. Wini.

"so that's bang Rico Angga's best friend? turns out he's bule?" Wini doesn't believe it.

"The first Bandung people were mixed Dutch. The mother of her mother was Dutch, the father of her original mother Bandung. Bang Rico's original German. So it's natural that his stature is very European" explained Lily.

"yes anyway" Those were the only words that came out of Wini's mouth.

"snake up, Wi?" ask Lily while enjoying tea.

"Eh, yes cute. Cute..banget"Wini groggy.

Lily laughed as she glanced at Wini with one idea that suddenly popped into her head.

Wini who was trying to enjoy the crushed cake, he thought back to the citrus citrus and lemon aroma. Remembering the one perfume box that is still wrapped neatly in his closet.
