LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Not For Now

A bouquet of red roses and imitation white roses is completed. The touch of gold ribbon combined with silver on the bouquet, successfully adding a beautiful and charming impression. The addition of perfume on the flowers is also a complement that will spoil the owner. Whoever will receive the bouquet, must be a very special person.

One customer was satisfied with his bouquet. Another customer wanted flowers too. This time it was a woman who wore an oversized style of clothing, but still looked fashionable with some of the luxury items she wore. The woman did not order a bouquet of flowers. He just wanted a fresh red rose with a simple message. He immediately got what he wanted, and smiled with satisfaction.

The first two customers today are already under service. Anjani is satisfied to see the smile of his customers. However, there was one from earlier that still disturbed his mind. Meli, his best friend has not returned to the store. Several times Anjani tried to look out of the store, but still there was no sign of the appearance of his best friend. In fact, it had been over an hour since Meli last contacted him.

Anjani tries to get rid of his bad prejudices by busying himself. Anjani remembered the order of several bouquets of flowers to be taken later in the afternoon. Without thinking much more, Anjani hurriedly prepared some sheets of cellophane, silver tape, scissors, and adhesive tools. Do not forget the flowers in the basket that was picked from the house of Sister Lisa this morning. Well, Anjani is ready to arrange the flowers.

It does not take long to make a bouquet of flowers. Anjani is used to making them. Just a few minutes of work, it has become two bouquets of combination flowers. Some other flower bouquets will blend red roses and white roses, as well as lily and sun. It looks like the customer who ordered the bouquets had a special occasion.

Anjani was about to make a third bouquet, but the figure he had been waiting for had arrived. Yes, Meli has arrived. And ... in an unexpected Anjani, Meli actually did not show a look of annoyance. Seeing her, Anjani is clearly astonished by the attitude of her best friend.

"Mel, you okay?" ask Anjani.

"Yep. Very well." Meli responded while putting down her bag.

Meli gets closer to where Anjani made the bouquet. He saw the bouquet that Anjani did, and smiled afterwards. Not long after the smile had expanded, Meli picked up a few flower stalks and began to help Anjani. Anjani who saw his friend's strange gurgle was astonished, and no longer the power to refrain from asking.

"Meli, why the hell? I thought you'd be mad, you know?" ask Anjani. He decided to ask.

"What's angry, Anjani. You leave me the same handsome boys, the hell I should be angry. Continue again yes, just on the way home, angkot to break down. The whole thing at first, but out of it I saw a promo at our subscription meatball stall. Buy one free one. Aha, her seneng this morning breakfast meatballs two servings." Meli explained with a joyful face.

"O, so." Anjani responded briefly.

"Huh? Just O only? Anjani .. You still owe me the same story. Why is it the same with Mario?" meli asked, and her expression had now changed. It was cheerful, and now it looks suspicious.

"There's nothing, really. He just helped me with a flower basket. After receiving his payment, he immediately went home. Yes, that's it!" anjani.

"Okay, why did you cover the face of the basket pack and ignore me?" ask Meli, the more probing.

"I-it .. anu .. it's because ...." Anjani is confused about where to explain.

"Stop! No need to explain anymore. I know, you know." Meli now looks cheerful again, and tries to tease Anjani.

"You know what, Mel?" ask Anjani. This time he was curious.

"That was with me, the customer of that bouquet of flowers. One was Ken and the other was Juno. He's your Juno in the village, isn't he." Meli looks seductive Anjani.

"No! Emm .... That .... I don't have any feelings for her, Mel!" Anjani.

"ah! It's up to you, deh. It's okay not to confess for now. Most importantly, today I already know Juno. Ihiwi." Meli looks happy.

"Here you go, let's finish the bouquet. There was a message change schedule. Ntar's getting the bouquet, Mel. Not afternoon." Anjani just remembered the change of taking orders bouquet of flowers, and immediately conveyed it to Meli.

"really? Yeah, let's get it over with, then." Suddenly Meli returned serious and rushed to help Anjani.

Anjani and Meli dissolve in a bouquet of flowers. No more joking, as the order will be taken soon. However, behind the seriousness of making a bouquet of flowers, Anjani's mind was disturbed. He thought about what Meli said about Juno. Juno is in town and has met with Meli. So, sooner or later Juno will approach Anjani.

"Just go home" replied Mario.

A red painted luxury car was driving towards an elite housing complex. After leaving the flower shop, Mario was picked up by his house driver using one of his father's private cars. Before returning home, Mario had stopped by one of the restaurants to buy several packs of rice using wages from Anjani.

The car that was originally speeding, immediately slowed down when Mario hinted to his driver to drive slowly when entering the housing complex. Mario's guess is right, Ken and Juno still haven't come home. They were seen sitting relaxed on the sidewalk. Seeing that, Mario's car stopped.

"ah! That's Mario." Ken pointed towards Mario who had just got off the car.

Mario did not approach Ken and Juno. He only signaled for the two to rush into the car. Neither Ken nor Juno protested nor hunted Mario with questions over the chase scene this morning.

No, that's a more appropriate word. While in the car, Ken and Juno do not hunt Mario with words. However, once at Mario's house, immediately the series of questions slide. Ken and Juno couldn't bear to not ask. The expressions of the two of them also looked very curious and really needed an explanation.

"Hey, didn't you avoid meeting Anjani all this time. Why was that so suddenly?" ask Ken.

"What's? Did Mario know Bunga? When did you know him, Mas?" ask Juno.

"Mario, why was I yelling at you, hey?" ask Ken again.

"Mas Mario has something to do with Flowers, huh? Know where?" asked Juno who was getting curious.

"Don't you have feelings for Anjani, huh?" ask Ken again.

"What's? Does Mario like Anjani? Really, Mas?" This time Juno asked again.

"Quite the question!" firmly Mario while thrusting crackle containing rice packets.

Mario is obviously being hunted by Ken and Juno. The questions that were asked were clearly not just curiosity. Mario knows Ken and Juno. Especially the character of Ken who has long been his best friend. Mario suspects, Ken and Juno are trying to provoke his reaction.

"I brought you breakfast. It's from my pay job to be a flower basket driver this morning. Huh!" mario said in a relaxed tone.

"Huh?" Ken made sure he didn't hear wrong.

"What do you mean, Mom?" ask Juno. He still doesn't seem to understand.

"I mean, now I'm not just a shoe salesman, but a paid driver. Understood it? That's enough, and please eat." Mario signals that the rice packets he has purchased are eaten immediately by Ken and Juno. But the signal seemed to fail. Ken and Juno are currently looking at each other, a sign that still holds a lot of questions that are not welcomed with answers.

"So, Mas Mario has no feelings for Flowers? Ah, I mean to Anjani. Is that right, Mas?" ask Juno.

"not necessarily. Maybe not for now." Mario replies as he passes leaving Ken and Juno.

Juno gawked at the answer from Mario. Ken's reaction was no less frenzied. Mario's attitude like that makes Ken not believe that it is his best friend. Mario who is known is Mario who is often cold and indifferent when it comes to feelings. But this time, what happened to Mario?
