MY SUNFLOWER

Retaliation

...🌻Happy Reading🌻...

"Auristela Princessa Knight's. You can call me Stela to sound more familiar."

Being quiet...

Stela pulled back her hand that was not held by Olh Vania.

All the guests at the restaurant have returned to their activities.

"I'm sorry for Vania's kindness, Miss Anne." Fara represents Vania to apologize. He was really worried if this collaboration was canceled by the client because of the design.

Anne still stared intently at Vania who could only bow down in shame.The woman did not dare to show her face especially after hearing some camera noises that were aiming at her. He no longer has face.

Now Anne turned to look at Fara who looked nervous and anxious. "It's not you who should be apologizing, it's him!" Without further ado, the famous designer pointed right in front of the faithful face of Vania. "He's the one who's at fault then he's the one who should apologize. And you too Miss Fara, don't spoil your model often if you don't want the war to escalate!" anne's Sweat. Not only Vania, Fara was sprayed.

Fara. "I'm sorry." Then he nudged Vania's arm and whispered in her ear. He told the model to apologize.

Vania shook, tightening her teeth until her jaw hardened. He really did not accept this insult. Her dignity as a daughter of a famous businessman, is at stake. He sighed softly, and tried to relax his heart and mind. Looks like he's got to have a show this time.

Finally the face that had been lowered was lifted. The face that harbors anger is faded changed with a clear guilty look.

"I'm sorry Miss Anne, I'm sorry Stela too. I'm sorry I said such bad words about you. I'm guilty and promise I won't do it again." The words he spoke came out smoothly plus his guilty tone made Anne believe, but not for Stela. His eyes squinted, looking at that face with jelly. It was obvious that his words just now sounded insincere coupled with a face that held a grudge and eyes highlighting anger.

"Smart he's got a show." Stela clucked in heart.

"Alright, because this misunderstanding is over. Can we eat before we talk about the contract?" ask Anne.

"You didn't cancel it?" Fara exclaims.

"You want me to cancel it?" Anne's eyebrows raised by one.

"No. I thought because of this problem you'd change your mind."

"Never doubt my professionalism at work" he said. "I will not mix personal matters with work. Catch that!" his sweat.

"Sorry."

"All right, now we order the food."

During lunch, Vania ate it with no taste. Once he saw the sister who was chatting ria with annoyance. Not infrequently his eyes sharpened when he saw Stela smiling happily. It's always like that. Why can't he be happy while the people he hates live joyfully. Honestly, he was jealous and unwilling. If he suffers then the person he hates should feel the same way including Stela. "I'll repay you. Just wait!" The demon in heart had already taken over, and the plan to make Stela suffer would start her thinking from now on.

"What else is he planning?" The stela who noticed the sharp highlight of Vania was immediately wary. He will not remain silent if the woman returns.

...🛍️ 🛍️ 🛍️...

Abercio and Sebastian are now in a cafe located in the middle of Jakarta. After delivering Karin, he invited his best friend to sit down to relax for a moment. Two more days they have to return to London because a lot of work can not be left too long. Especially for the two young entrepreneurs.

Sebastian sipped his Espresso chill and then let out a sigh of relief. He glanced at Abercio who was now busy stirring Cold brew in front of him while daydreaming.

"Is there a problem?" ask the french man. Rarely did he see the face of his playmates from this small moody lacklustre.

Abercio gasped at Sebastian's question. His gaze immediately turned forward, in front of his friend. "Huh..." A sigh of fret came out of his mouth.

"What's going on?" ask Sebastian in wonder.

Abercio remained silent, now his gaze turned to the chunks of ice that began to melt in the glass.

"Irina?" guess Sebastian. His friend would not be upset like this if it did not concern the problem of the lover.

Abercio once again let out a heavy sigh. His head nodded slowly. "So he called me. Today he will return to Moscow at the request of his parents" he said.

"He's coming back, right?"  Abercio's girlfriend is often home, but usually will return to London again after a few days.

Abercio shook his head weakly. "He's an only child. Her parents are very lonely, and they really hope that Irina will stay there forever."

Sebastian was surprised, then how the relationship between the two. "You're going to LDR?"

"Eitherway. Looks like it's gonna be hard. I've asked her to get married several times, but she always says she's not ready. And if he wanted to, I would happily bring his parents to live with us" he explained.

"Married it does need readiness, it could be that he is not ready because you are also too young. Maybe he still has goals that have not been fulfilled to choose to postpone it," Sebastian's assumption.

"I've even said that it won't stop her from doing whatever she wants after we get married, but she still refuses." Abercio rubbed his huffed face.

"Could it be a family problem that is the reason?" Sebastian tried to guess. Maybe they love each other. Abercio also did not prevent his lover from working. Then, especially the problem if it is not related to family.

"You mean?" Stela's sister had yet to catch the point of her best friend's question.

"He's not confident because you're from a distinguished family, a descendant of English nobility who certainly wouldn't have chosen to do the business of his offspring's companion."

Deg

"Did he really think that?" Abercio seemed a little incredulous.

"Can be. Just ask him directly!"

Abercio instantly picked up the phone inside his suit pocket. He was just about to press the call button on the name of the lover when a thought stopped him. "No. I'd better talk to him directly. I'm going to Moscow and I'm going to meet him in person and his master."

"Good idea. Let's make things clearer."

Abercio. His eyes stared intensely at the wallpaper of his phone displaying a photo of his lover—Irina Jovovich.

The beautiful Russian woman has been dating for 3 years. They first met at a public library in London. Abercio was still busy compiling the final assignment to finish her degree while she was looking for inspiration by reading the books there. Yep... Irina is a writer. He even published 5 bestseller novels when they first met.

Irina was two years older than Abercio. The independent and mature woman instantly made her firstborn Ambar-Anthony who was blind to love fall in love when she first saw him.

Abercio remembered his struggle to get Irina was not easy. The woman was so shut off from being called a man. Every day he would only struggle with books and laptops. It takes extra patience to make Irina want to see it. And after a period of intensely emotionally draining and exertion, half a year later, the woman finally gave up and collapsed on her attention and struggle.

They decided to become lovers. It was the happiest day for an Abercio, for the first time in his life he had a lover, his first love. Lucky she.

.......

Vania threw the tablet she was holding onto the empty chair beside her. Fara who was driving in front of him did not know what his model had seen until it became so upset.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing" he answered.

Vania growling. Just a moment ago he had just researched all the things about Anne. A talented young designer who has mixed British-Indonesian blood. He has an older brother named Abercio and a younger brother named Auristela. Even their big family photos are also widely circulated on various sites.

"Descendants of the English nobility, ck," he decreed. The girl he thought was a village was not just any girl. He had misjudged it and ended up embarrassing himself. Goddamn bum. Anne managed to humiliate her in public and now some gossip accounts have uploaded a sad photo of her being doused in water by the designer.

"I need clarification on the watering problem earlier. The rumors have been circulating a lot. I don't want my image to be bad and it will affect my career" he asked the manager.

"Just calm. I'll discuss the matter later with Miss Anne, hopefully she'll cooperate."

.......

After lunch, Stela invited her sister to take a walk in the mall. He will look for the promised gift for Ara, a ballet dress.

After getting the desired, the two women rushed home. It does not feel like it is late afternoon because of the preoccupation with eye washing.

"I wanted to design clothes for girls" Anne said as she was in the car.

"That's good idea." Stela mah agreed - only the important thing is that the brother was happy.

"After we sorted and chose clothes for Ara, I just found out that the girl's clothes were funny too. My hands were itching to draw a unique design for them immediately."

Stela laughed at Anne's excited reaction. "Especially if later brother has a daughter, surely every day my nephew will wear new clothes made by his mommy," joked Stela.

"I can't wait for that day" he said enthusiastically.

Anne wails. It turns out that the brother is very ready to have children, which means he is also ready to get married. But the companion she wanted was still adrift in a sea of feelings. Huh..hopefully Sebastian quickly realized it before there is a good man who came to propose brother first.

.......

"Daddy.. want a video call mommy!" sul Ara after they finished dinner.

"Prophey darling. Daddy has to clean up our food first."

"Old daddy." The little girl's lips pursed, making Tristan who was washing dishes become anxious to pinch her.

After waiting for quite a while, the man finally finished with his affairs. Ribet also turned out to be the father of the household, he lamented.

HUPPES

He held Ara who was still standing with a sour face near the dining table. Sulks.

"Ara wants to show this ugly face to mommy, hm?" Tristan peeked at the still bulging cheek of the kingpin.

The little guy shook his head. "Then let's smile. Later mommy is sad you see the princess is still sulking like a child."

"She was a kid, Daddy."

"Eh. yeah, daddy forgot, sorry Baby."

After landing his butt on the soft sofa, Tristan immediately contacted Stela via her tablet. Let the picture be bigger and their faces both fit because the screen is wide.

Tuut....

"Hallo baby.." said Stela.

"Hallo mommy's. Mommy when to come home?" ask Ara sissily. He missed Stela too much.

"Prophey baby, mommy's coming home soon."

"When, Mom? Ala lindu mommy's cooking. Daddy cooked it can only rice goleng telus. Ala's bored.." She said.

Tristan who was behind Ara grimaced in embarrassment.

Across the street, Stela felt guilty because her two loved ones had gone so badly she had not eaten.

"I'm sorry Brother, I promise I'll be back soon."

"Don't worry Honey. Enjoy time with your brothers. Later I will learn to cook other food for Ara."

"Thank you, miss you."

"Miss you too."

They looked at it long enough. "Oh yeah, that French guy didn't tease you, did he?" Tristan just remembered to ask this.

Stela laughing. "I think he has given up" he replied.

"Thank God then." Tristan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why is daddy talking to Mommy, anyway?" sentak Ara dongkol's. Two people were busy talking about things they did not understand. They both forget that he was there.

"Ups. Yes, then talk to mommy. Daddy's gonna make milk for you first." Tristan leaves Ara with the tablet still on. The boy was busy chattering in front of the screen.

.......

Finished listening to Ara. Stela went down to the kitchen feeling thirsty.

"Where are you, Bi?" stela asked after sipping a glass of water.

"There's a gazebo next to the house, miss."

"Oh. Thank you Bi."

Stela walked up to three people who were talking in the gazebo.

"Ela, come!" call Anne when she sees her sister coming.

"What's up, brother?" He is now sitting next to his sister.

"Look!" Anne pulls her phone in front of Stela. "The watering news came out and is now going viral" he said.

"What?" Stela grabbed the phone and read the writing there, complete with photos of them at the restaurant this afternoon.

"Eh, then how is this?" ask Stela.

"The manager just called me. He asked me to work together to clear up this misunderstanding."

"Will you do it?"

Anne shrugged her shoulders. "Forced."

"What's the matter with you, Sunny? Anne had already told her about the matter earlier this afternoon," asked Abercio curiously.

"The story is long, brother."

"I'm waiting.." compact the three of them said.

If this is the case, inevitably Stela must say it.

He recounted it starting from their first meeting when he was eating with Rafandra, and ending with the woman's humiliation to him last afternoon.

"Damn. How dare he humble you like that. Why not just fight hm?" abercio was angry.

"If he is resisted he will become more and more brother. I'm lazy to deal with him."

"Ck. Should I step in?" ask Stela's eldest brother.

"No Brother. No need. It's a women's problem," Stela intercepts fast. He knows how his brother is. He will not stop if the opponent has not suffered.

"What if he keeps bothering you, Sunny?" Abercio was only worried about his youngest brother's condition. What if the woman returned to act when she was no longer in Indonesia.

"Let me do it." Suddenly Anne made a sound.

"You mean?" The three people there looked at him.

"Gela!" Anne looked up and looked at the sister inside.

"Be my model at the fashion week event!" It was not an offer but an order.

"What?" Stela surprised. "Wouldn't that woman be the model?"

"Yes. He'll come along too."

"What does brother mean?"

"I will show you where he is and where we are. So you have to help me." A smile rose on Anne's face.

"Ehhhh..."

"Sorry is not enough. Need a proper reply to silence that woman's dirty mouth." Anne laughed in her heart. He will play pretty this time.
