Magical Flowers
CHAPTER 8 - Widow of Flower (Part 1)
"Huh... these few days why is it so quiet?" Complain Thika who is still tired of just sitting pensively because there is no order for a bouquet of snacks and the like, there is only an order for a bouquet of fresh flowers that every day must be there. In addition to the pride is also a pilgrimage season for the Chinese so many who buy flowers without being strung. Flowers in Magical Flower are quite affordable if it is certain flowers such as Aster, Chrysanthemum, Carnations, Lotus and some other types commonly used for praying.
"Siang mba.. I want to buy white chrysanthemum flowers are there?" Ask a beautiful woman as soon as she comes in.
"Yes there's mba, let's just go in.." Flo replied that seeing the woman still standing by the door, the woman stepped closer to Flo's table and saw that beside her had arranged several types of Chrysanthemum flowers of various colors.
"Well there's a lot of color, I want that white chrysanthemum 4 stalks, that's yellow 1 and red 1 yes." The message of the beautiful and Flo took and not chosen again because the flowers owned by Flo are always nice fresh and beautiful like him.
"This is mba, any extras?" Ask Flo.
"Em.. Is there any foliage? For decoration in a vase later." Asked the woman and Flo took some ornamental foliage sticks for her.
"Would it be wrapped in paper?" Flo asked again because she was convinced this was for the pilgrimage because the woman's face looked so much like the famous Korean artist she knew, the oriental face was sweet and gorgeous tempting but there was a sad look that he could not cover.
"Yes, how many?" Ask and Flo count the number of flower stalks.
"a group of 6 thousand to a total of 26 thousand mba." Flo replied and looked the woman a little surprised.
"Yes cheap yes . I think it's 60 thousand tablets like in other stores." She was laughed at by Flo.
"Yes if not assembled is indeed cheap mba, because it only sells flowers and only takes a little profit." Reply FLo again and the woman smiles and nods slowly. After saying goodbye, the woman went out and rode her motorcycle.
"It's really pretty that little Flo." Said Thika who was watching the customer earlier.
"Yes, like a Korean artist artist who is his name, even though I just watched the film last month who became an actor." Flo remembers but still forgets.
"Han Sohee?" Thika said in a questioning tone because her face looked like that.
"Well yes. is similar. Sweet and pretty but sexy face seduces youh. Surely many men are smitten tuh." Connect Flo again, yes this is if they are free to gossip, ordinary women. While today is also the first day of Imel's internship so he is definitely lonely especially Fano also permits a week off.
That afternoon, a beautiful woman brought 2 vases of chrysanthemums. One pot full of white chrysanthemums and 1 more yellow and red white chrysanthemum favorite of his mother.
"Mommy, papi, Calla came today.. " The woman who is named Calla performs her spiritual rituals like years ago and can only do once a year during the month of pilgrimage for the people of Tianghua called Chengbeng. Only 1 hour he was there because he had to alternate with other visitors, in the place of worship that is crowded with people who will pilgrimage as well. After that he returned to his apartment in the city center.
Calla chose to stay in the apartment because he was fed up with the insults of the people to him, "Dowresses, unlucky widows, unlucky women, and so on." That was the nickname of the person for him so he chose to leave his tiny house in the suburban area and rent this small apartment for himself.
While his 2 older brothers were married and moved out of town because of the shame of having a widow sister 2 times and fear of bad luck as well. She still has an aunt and 2 younger sisters of almost the same age and always hates her for no reason so Calla is lazy to deal with them.
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
***2 days ago***
"Calla, later please prepare this coffee and it should be like this ya steaming way." The general manager's order was his boss that morning, because there would be new business associates in the company he worked for. Calla who is aware of her beauty that makes women jealous and men approach always dress up geeky and old-fashioned so not much attention.
With thick glasses framed large boxes, hair on the top, white shirts and blazers of sedentary, material trousers and flat shoes so that he really does not want to be lengthened by men even women often mock him, though now there are many fashionable and sexy office look clothes.
"This is why it has to be brewed like this anyway..." Calla complained while reading a note from his manager. "Bodo ah, I brew rich regular papi just drink." Call ignored with the dose taught by his papi first and all papi friends really like it when he was a child.
At 9 p.m., Calla was already in the director's room with a handsome bully-blaster guy inside there talking about cooperation. Calla carefully placed the guest's ordered coffee on the table and his boss's favorite jasmine tea was also there, then he slowly withdrew.
The handsome bule smelled the aroma of his black coffee very tempting his kiss and sipped a little. "Well, this is so good." Her praise made the stern in front of her smile proudly.
"Who made this? The smell teases me and it feels right." Connect again.
"Hahaha you can come here often Alister to taste the coffee." Said the director was happy with his friend who finally found coffee according to his taste.
"Well Edo, I'll be here tomorrow for coffee and we'll talk about this partnership."
"Tomorrow has entered Master, for he permits pilgrimage to the tomb of his parents." Answer the manager politely.
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Calla has entered work again and he is cleaning up the items scattered on his desk because he did not enter and other employees must be looking for ATK (Office writing) carelessly.
"Calla, make some more coffee but it'll be noon at 11 to meet 2 ." The general manager's order as usual with ketus and unfriendly, 45-year-old woman was indeed ketus to anyone except the President Director.
"Good Mina." Answer Calla politely. After Mina returned to her place Calla began again with her work calculating ATK stock and kitchen carefully and then read the incoming email, preparing the order of every employee who wants their goods delivered. He had already prepared the trolley and put the goods with the note on demand, the name and related divisions then started the road pushing the trolley and occasionally looking at his clock while delivering the entire order.
"It's 10:45 for coffee." He said quietly in the elevator there was Alister who was looking down right at the top of Calla's head with his hair smashed up. The fresh fragrance from Calla's hair caught Alister's attention, but she could not see the woman's face. After the elevator opens Calla quickly pushes her trolley and runs small towards the pantry to make coffee.
Calla entered slowly and there were many employees who took part in meetings and sat almost in a row making it difficult for Calla to put his coffee in front of the handsome bule table yesterday.
Alister who smelled the aroma of coffee immediately turned his head and his face fit on the nape of Calla from the side, inhaling again the fresh fragrance he had just smelled in the elevator. Alister looked at Calla's face from the side closely.
"Pretty." He said in his heart, his heart was beating and he wanted to hug the woman. After Calla put down her coffee she smiled for a while and lowered her head then left there because it was not her working area.
"Mr Call me?" Calla asked politely and bowed to Edo, the company's president, and in front of Edo, Alister had been sitting with his eyes on Calla ever since he entered.
"Oh yeah, here's the one who made your coffee." Edo answered and went straight to Alister.
"Your name?" Ask Alister briefly.
"I'm Calla Tuan." Answer Calla politely.
"You want to work with me? I love your coffee." Ask Alister without further ado.
"Hey, don't marry my employee Al.. " Edo's protest made Alister smile thinly. While Calla just silently saw the two people were arguing, Alister had wanted Calla to move but Edo did not want to allow.
"Can't be Al, Calla it works great where I might give it to you. I told you I'd be bored here anytime if I wanted to have coffee." Edo and Alister looked upset.
"You're so stingy, I'll find you a replacement for that." Alister's words made Calla more confused and excused them to continue their work.
Alister, upset with Edo, decides to go back to his office, when he enters the elevator, he sees Calla reading and checking his trolley.
"Calla.." Call him and Call immediately raised his head to look at Alister who turned out to be very high.
"Yes sir.. What's wrong?" His mouth and immediately lowered his head again, he just realized that Alister was very handsome making him stubborn.
"Why do you hide your beauty with this and this?" Alister asked while pulling the shoulder and pulling on Calla's glasses to his surprise and immediately took back his glasses.
"Sorry sir please don't do that again." His words slowly made Alister more curious about the woman in front of him.
"Are you married?" The question again made Calla feel uncomfortable.
"I don't think you have the right to ask that, sir." Answer Calla a little sniffle.
"Ehm.. I have a right to chase you, right? Be my girlfriend if you don't have a Calla partner yet." Pinta Alister made Calla even more uncomfortable and after the elevator opened he immediately pushed his trolley and got out quickly.
"Basic bule crazy!" As soon as he got to his desk again.
Meanwhile, Alister immediately gives orders to his assistant to find out about Calla who has made him fall in love at first sight.
