The air this morning is still cool, although many vehicles pass by. Maybe because this is still at 06.00 WIB. It's early morning, and Anjani is ready for action.
"Still want to leave you? Never mind, don't you go get a job. If you want to work, take care of the shop. It's the same." Uncle Sam persuaded Anjani who was ready with his sling bag and jacket.
"Uncle take it easy. Just a month while I was waiting to go to college. After all, I also want to add friends in the city." Anjani reassures his uncle.
"You go find a friend. Lah, your uncle's here so no friends, dong!" uncle Sam's Protest.
"Now, I'm ready. Si Miko today will accompany. Uncle is bored, just talk. Isn't that right, Miko?" anjani asked her pet rooster.
"Kukkuruyuuuk ...!"
"No, Miko agreed. Then I'll go first. Daa." Anjani waved her hand and rushed out.

Angkot driver driving slowly. Sometimes he looked out at the streets and shouted out the direction of the destination. When there are prospective passengers waving towards the angkot, the driver immediately eagerly picked up passengers.
There were not many passengers boarding this morning. There are only two additional passengers in the angkot that Anjani and Meli ride. Not tiled, a distinct advantage while enjoying the trip.
"Mel, is it far away? It's been almost half an hour!" Anjani. He looks impatient. Understandably, when in the village he rarely went out, let alone to ride an angkot. If you want to go out, surely Ma will order a motorcycle taxi.
"Prophey, wait again. But the old man already looks. Bang, down in front of the white monument over there, yeah." Meli gave the code.
"Ready, Neng."
Angkot pulled over slowly when he arrived at the place Meli asked earlier. Anjani went down first, followed by Meli's move to pay the angkot rate directly.
Beyond a doubt. Initially Anjani thought that Meli's friend's residence was in a regular housing complex. Apparently, it's in an elite housing complex. Just stepping in, Anjani has been presented with views of luxury houses.
"Seriously your friend lives here, Mel?" Anjani half in disbelief.
"What do I look like is a liar? Ah, you are this. I seriously. Drought here too. Tuh, until you know the gentlemen at the guard post." Meli.
"Eh, there's Meli. Same friend, Neng? Want to be ushered to the end? Let's not walk." One of the guards who knew Meli offered a ride.
"Thank you, sir. Just go on foot. All sports, it's still morning." Meli smiled kindly.
"okay, deh. Careful, Neng."
Meli stepped steadily, followed by Anjani who walked sluggishly behind her. The look of Anjani's face looks flabbergasted enjoying the view of the luxury home range. The houses as he saw them at this moment, he had never met in his village.
Continuing to step, Anjani and Meli arrived in front of one of the iron-fenced houses in maroon color. Marvelous. In the front yard of the house neatly embedded kinds of flowers. Rows of red and white roses are charming. On the other hand, the crowd of sunflowers looked bright and beautiful to the eye. One more thing, there are also Lily plants although the number is not as much as roses and sun plants.
"Meli, just come in!" get someone to Meli.
"Morning, Sister Lisa. This is my best friend, Anjani." Meli.
Sister Lisa, looks fashionable in a long-sleeved white T-shirt suit and toad pants. White high heels increasingly support his appearance. His posture is high like Anjani. He wore glasses and put brackets on his teeth. Also, the dimples that appear when she laughs make her deserve a sweet predicate.
"You're serious about helping me keep the flower shop, right?" Lisa asked while still putting on a friendly face.
"Of course, but only about a month ago. While you're waiting to go to college, brother." Melly explained.
"Well, no problem. I'm glad someone wants to help. Okay, then start today. I introduced the flowers in my shop. How's it?" ask Lisa to offer.
"Agreed, Brother. We want to." This time it was Anjani who opened her voice.
"OKAY. Now you two get in my car, yeah. Oh yes, Anjani. Please bring a bouquet of white roses. Today, a customer ordered. That, right there!" point Lisa towards one of the bouquets of flowers on the engraving table.
Anjani hurried to pick up the bouquet of white roses in question. On a whim, he even slightly peeked at the contents of the writing on the message tucked there.
Smiling brightly cheers you up today. Get well for me.

"Sister Lisa, this bouquet who ordered it?" ask Anjani. The question breaks the silence in the car.
"There was one customer who used to order a bunch of white roses. Sometimes a bouquet is like this. A man, handsome apparently. Look at the looks of it looks like a student." Lisa explained while staying focused on driving her car.
"Yeah, we're here!" meli said suddenly.
"Huh, is this really the place?" tanya Anjani doesn't believe it.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Meli asked shortly after they got out of the car.
"Hahaha, what a shit!" exciting Meli. He has no power to hold back laughter.
"But there was Mario and I was given a white rose."
"What's? Lucky for your life." This time Meli praised.
"So dikatain unlucky, now said lucky. You, tuh." Anjani is a little upset.
"Hey, Anjani. Let's not order a bouquet of white roses Mario. Whoa .... Glad to see him again." Meli looks excited.
"Maybe. Let it be, no need to discuss it anymore. Yuk, let's help Lisa!" bring Anjani.
"Haaah, yes."
Sister Lisa is not only fashionable, friendly, and sweet. He also did not hesitate to share all the knowledge about the business of florists, ranging from flower stock, how to make a bouquet of flowers, how to serve customers, as well as other sciences related to the philosophy of flowers. One more important thing, Lisa also teaches a little knowledge about bookkeeping. Although only a record of store buying and selling transactions, but it is very useful for Anjani and Meli as a provision of knowledge for college preparation.
"Udah at 9 o'clock, brother. Who ordered a bouquet of white roses why haven't they come too, huh?" ask Meli. He looked down at the road.
"Hey, why are you so confused." Anjani.
"Wild, I'd like to see the prince." Meli responded with imagination.
"You guys, yeah. Just wait, it'll be here soon." Lisa responded while not forgetting to keep a friendly smile.
"Sir .. there's a car parked out front. Like customers!" meli is excited.
A few minutes after the car in question Meli stopped, came out a tall man, handsome, and glasses. He stepped lightly while putting on a friendly smile.
"Excuse me, I'd like to pick up a bouquet of white roses that was ordered yesterday." The man said to Meli.
"K-Sister Lisa, this, a bouquet of white roses." Meli.
"Hey, good morning. This time alone, yes. Her bouquet. And, it's been paid. Thanks, wait for the order again, yeah." Lisa looks good at interacting with customers.
"Okay, thank you. Excuse me first." The man pulled out of the store and got into his car.
"Mel, why are you?" ask Anjani. He was curious about Meli's unusual behavior.
"The customer is not Mario. But that customer is no less handsome." Meli said with eyes full of twinkle.
"Ah, Meli! Already, knowingly. Now help me make 4 bouquets of flowers. Lisa said it was taken by noon. Create a graduation event. Yuk! Please get me a silver ribbon, yeah!"
"Ready, go!"

In the car
"Now, get the flowers, hold them!" ken said. He looks pissed.
"Okay!" Mario answered briefly.
"Ah, usually you take the flowers. Why this time? Afraid that there are girls?"
"Do what is afraid." Again Mario answered briefly while still driving.
"Well, what do you make of me being alone to take?" ask Ken.
"Ken, a handsome shoe salesman dressed cool, drove a fancy car, and ordered a bouquet of flowers. You can guess for yourself what kind of question Anjani asked me if she met." Mario explains in his casual style.
"Ahaha. I totally forgot. The son of the owner of three shoe factories is a salesman. Okay, forget it. Give me the flowers immediately and take me to campus." Ken rules.
"Down you here, for being too noisy and acting like the boss." Mario said suddenly.
"What's? Okay-okay. We're leaving with Young Master Mario."
"Good! Next stop, the hospital. Hey, quick buckle up, Ken!"
"Yes-yes!"
