MEN In Flower Shop

The guy at the Flower Shop

When I got home, I walked inside with Diego, he followed me from behind. When I was about to open the door, I was immediately surprised because Rara opened the door, when yesterday I refused Rara to be my brother-in-law and Bang Rehan agreed, but, now he is with Rara.

Without saying anything I saw him chatty, and glanced at Bang Rehan asking for an explanation. He said that he was here to see me, of course, I didn't believe him right away, because if he were here for me he should have been waiting for me just before after school.

Strange, because lately he's always been home. I think Iqbal is right, it seems like Rara is liking someone, what is Bang Rehan. I looked at Rara who was busy stealing glances at Bang Rehan and smiles to herself, I also became joined in with a smile. I've never seen Rara like that.

Embrace the idea to prank Rara, I will piss her off after that I will say it. I would say that Bang Rehan had a lover who was in Yogja. We will soon move to Jakarta. Of course, to make it work I'll ask Brother Diego to help. Actually she didn't want to, because Rara wasn't close to her.

“Bang, how is Angel? not moving here she?” I said seriously with the look of the face I made, to convince Rara. While Bang Rehan seemed confused, he did not know the name of the woman mentioned.

“Well, just move to Yogja, Lo girl,”, said Kak Diego before Bang Rehan asked who we were talking about. For a moment I saw Rara looking dislike and thought her face changed, it seems like I succeeded and this is what I'm waiting for. Bang Rehan now really looked confused, with what I said.

“Angel is who, Lin?” ask Rara.

“It--, who the hell, Brother?” I asked Diego to come back, because I wanted to make Rara angry.

“Chick Lo right Rey?” said Diego. While the question is only confused and surprised, because what we are talking about is not understood at all.

“So, Bang Rey already has a boyfriend?” ask Rara again, who now seems to want to cry.

“Asaan anyway, not very clear, I still have a long birthday!” bang Rehan replied, Now Rara turns to look at me with Diego.

“Praaaankkkk!” we shouted at the same time.

“Apaan sih Dek's. You make, your brother-in-law cry!” bang Rehan.

“Ipar, that means you're both dating?” now I'm the one who asked.

“Iyaaa, Lo aja who is still the same way two guys, brothers again,” said Rara while me and Diego stared at each other confused.

“Haha, not sure me,” I said with a laugh I forced. Because I deliberately wanted to break the awkward atmosphere that I now feel.

“What the heck are you, Evlyn remains the girl Iqbal!” brother Diego smiled, then said goodbye.

“Iya, he has told everything, he also apologizes to you,”, said Bang Rehan again. Shortly after Diego left.

I chased after Diego after hearing everything Rara told me. Now I know Diego's brother never planned anything when he said he liked me.       

He also never said that Iqbal caused his accident, let alone spread it to people at school. He had met me before too. From then on, he started liking me and finding out about me.

That day, January 19, 2019, I went to the flower shop to take with me when I visited Rara, because Rara was in the hospital. I want to buy her flowers and hope she gets well soon. I picked a rose, but a handsome man said jasmine flowers were better for a girlfriend. I don't know, I don't know where she came from, but I think she was right and I picked the jasmine flowers of her choice.

While visiting the hospital, I told Rara that I had met a handsome man. At that time, I said that I, “ fell in love” and will wait for the handsome man. while giving the flower to Rara, he screamed and said that on the flower paper it was written “may we meet again” at that time I feel very happy.

You know, Bang Rehan found out that I liked that guy, and from the first moment he met Diego's sister, he knew that it was the guy I liked. Because he read my writing in the diary, “Man in Bunga” shop I feel very happy. Because now we have met again. 

But maybe it's a little too late, I just found out now. If Rara hadn't told me, maybe I'd never have remembered her. She knew that I was the girl she had been waiting for, but never said it. I even intentionally forgot about it.

I now realize my mistake, yes, I think that he is very bad, he deliberately approached me. Just to destroy Iqbal. But I was wrong, I hurt her feelings. I've accused him of doing what he didn't actually do. He doesn't even hate Iqbal, never will.

I'm so stupid right now, I regret my attitude. I want to chase him now. But, late. He's already gone. Marshanda comes and says Brother Diego is leaving and will be living abroad, nor does he say when he will return.

Marshanda came, just before he sent me a message and asked me to meet. We met at a cafe I used to go to with Diego's sister. She shared that, she and Brother Diego were just friends. He also admitted that he liked Diego's brother. But Brother Diego only likes me and thinks of him as just a friend, and nothing more.

Time seems to be spinning so fast. I haven't even had a chance to say anything to Diego, not so much to do with Diego. But now he wants to leave. I feel claustrophobic, I don't feel like breathing right now. There was a wound I realized too late.

Marshanda's gone now, but I'm still sitting here. For some reason, my memory of being with Brother Diego, now I think it's going around in circles in my mind. I was surprised by the incoming call from my phone. I saw Iqbal calling me. I picked him up and he said Brother Diego will leave now.

Immediately aware of my daydream, now I see this cafe will be closed soon. That's what they said, they were about to tell me, but I didn't hear it. I walked away from there after apologizing to one of the officers several times.

I now go to Iqbal's house, after he says that Diego's brother is there. He hopes I can prevent his departure, because Diego's sister will certainly not listen to him. He went there, just to say goodbye to his father.

I got there, I saw Brother Diego standing with Dad and his mother there. Iqbal also came there after he invited me to join. Brother Diego seems to have made up his mind. He asked his father a few times not to worry.

“You, will really go, now?” ask Mother Iqbal to Diego.

“Isn't that what you want!?” said Diego, there seems to be a commotion there. But Iqbal tried to hold him back, telling Diego that I was here now. Brother Diego looked at me for a moment before he turned his face again.

“You know him?” ask Diego his dad.

“I don't know him, it looks like he's here for Iqbal,”

I was surprised to hear that, Brother Diego said that he did not know me. I kept my tears from spilling, I didn't understand why he said that. He looked back at me, but without saying anything he passed from there and immediately headed for the airport.

I can't do anything, he's gone now. I don't even know if he'll be back. Iqbal walked over to me and asked me not to cry. I cried more and more for him, Iqbal hugged me and said everything would be fine.

Back I remember, when I was in the hospital, when Brother Diego had an accident and was treated there. I didn't want to see him, and instead went to the park and sat there. I feel guilty because I'm the one who caused him to go through it all. But unexpectedly, he actually met me, and said he was fine, just so I didn't feel worried.

Though clearly he was seen withstanding pain, with a pale face like that, but he instead met me after the Doctor said he had just passed his critical period. And not yet conscious. As soon as he realized he was meeting me. He made others feel confused, and accused him of just anyone. I hate that guy, but now he's gone and I miss him.
