Magical Flowers
CHAPTER 67 - The Forgotten Potion of Love (Part 2)
the morning looks bright, the whole family of Mario servants are busy because since last night Mario did not wake up from his sleep at all. The dashing figure that now looked weak was so pale and was already getting weaker. The long-awaited doctor finally came and immediately put an infusion on one of Mario's hands because he had absolutely no food or drink already on the third day.
"Mr Mario is very weak at the moment Madam. As much as possible you have to persuade him to eat and drink, just a little so that he has energy. He's not sick, but.. " The family doctor stopped because he couldn't continue his sentence and Lia understood so she just nodded in understanding.
"Auntie.. " Call Celine to the middle-aged woman who also looks exhausted.
"Tante just take a break, let Celine take care of Mario.." Persuade Celine to let Lia rest for a moment.
"I'm sorry Aunt Celine, you're here just to take care of Mario. I don't know when she's like that." Said Lia regretfully while stroking Celine's arm which she already considered like her own child. Not not not knowing, Lia really knows that Celine loves Mario, even since childhood but Mario instead fell in love with Celine's good friend at school and Celine resigned because she loved her best friend 2.
Towards noon, Mario slowly opened his eyes and excruciating pain invaded his head and his body was weakly powered. When he wanted to get up just to sit down, he immediately fell down again. Helpless is the right word for Mario right now.
"Mario! Don't move, here.." Celine helps Mario to sit down and has one of the waiters bring him some food. Only 10 minutes a cup of warm milk and porridge is served. Celine was persuading Mario to eat and finally it worked despite only 3 mouthfuls of porridge and half a glass of milk.
"Alright, smart child, this time is also enough later we eat again ya.." Caline stroked Mario's head gently. If only Mario was healthy, where could Celine behave like this, surely a strong protest has been floated Mario on him.
"Cel.help me." Mario.
"What's? I'll help you with whatever you want." Celine.
"I wanted to go to the flower shop, Jade really wanted to go to the store to order our wedding flower arrangements but everything never came through." Obviously Mario with tears that flow back.
"Let's go, but you have to be strong and get back to health. Eat right and don't be weak." Celine and Mario nodded.

3 Days later, Mario is back to health even though it is still very clear that he is grieving very deeply but Celine deliberately continues to force Mario to move so as not to be too immersed again in his sadness.
At 2 pm Mario and Celine arrive at Magical Flower and find Flo there chatting with one of his customers.
"Can anyone help?" Flo asked kindly after it was Mario and Celine's turn.
"Mba.I want that pink rose, please pack a pretty one, and white chrysanthemum too." Mario said with his own face. Flo caught the look on her face, and she also felt the overwhelming sadness of the man in front of her.
Likewise with Celine who was beside him who had always wanted to cry because she knew, pink roses were Jade's favorite all along. When it was over, Flo gave them a flower order and they left.
"Flo Flo. it's him. whose girlfriend was in the accident.." After Mario and Celine left the store.
While Celine and Mario are stopping on the roadside Merdeka 2 to put white chrysanthemum flowers on the side of the road where Jade's body lies lifeless there. Mario who could not control his feelings just cried, ignoring the street users who looked at him there. Although many know what happened a few days ago, it is still an unusual sight for some people.
"Come on Mario.." Take Celine and hold her back into the car.
"Road sir.." Celine tells Mario's family driver and they head to Jade's final resting place at a public cemetery in the city's pinngiran.

2 Months passed, Celine who had returned to Australia decided to resign from her established job. The cute girl has worked there for 4 years and has had a high position but everything she left for Mario.
"Tante Lia says Mario is getting worse.. " Celine complained as she was locking the door of her apartment to the airport that night.
The next morning Celine was in an apartment in the middle of the city that was crowded and full of tall buildings. He prepares again to go to Mario's office not far from his apartment.

3 Knocks and Celine walks into the director's room looking not okay. Mario is scolding and has fired 2 secretaries there. Even 1 of them are in a state of great pregnancy but Mario seems to have no heart and feelings just dismiss the pregnant woman.
"I'm sorry, can you wait outside, I'll talk to this Mr. Mario." Celine said to the 2 secretaries.
"Why?" Mario asked with his cold face.
"You're the one why? If you fire them who work?" Celine asked with her face down. Mario is a kind, friendly and meek man but after Jade's departure he became a cold, heartless and ruthless figure.
"They just don't work, I'll find a new secretary!" Mario said with annoyance and Celine could only take a deep breath.
"Where are you going?" Celine asked as soon as she saw Mario wanted to get out of his room.
"You need to buy flowers, if you want to come quickly!" Mario said without looking at Celine and kept walking out. Inevitably Celine followed him while slightly running to keep pace with Mario with her wide strides.
.
.
"You're coming again Mr. Mario." Sapa Flo who has been used to seeing Mario for 2 months. Every day at 10 am Mario would come to buy pink roses and then he would go to the cemetery. Yes, every day! Celine also knows it because Lia who has told her what Mario activities so far.
After buying Mario flowers to Jade's tomb and still crying there until she was satisfied just returned, Celine just followed him without comment because it was useless. After that Mario will return to the company, work late at night and return to the apartment, then he will drink until drunk and then fall asleep. Every day that's what he's gonna do.
