Presage Flower: Sapphire'S Sorrow

The Alice

Samudra in night dress (art by Ocean)

　

It seemed like the Ocean was already used to this kind of situation, and Heaven did not protest with all the decisions made by her sister.

"Oh, my hair, can you help me arrange it?" Samudra.

"Want to be laid out like what, brother?" Ask the other employee, "This is a model book we provide for guests."

"No need, can it be modeled like this?" He said while showing photos in his cell phone gallery.

"Oh, of course. Sit here."

Samudra asked her hair to be rolled slightly up to show her nape and then given some knick-knacks as a restraint so as not to be separated, this model is very rarely used today's children, because this model is a medieval fashion when Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ruled Rome as an emperor.

"Do you guys have a tiara?"

"Tiara? Well, we got a tiara, please take a look inside." The employee said after styling Samudra's hair, "They can be rented or bought, and will fit perfectly into the dress that you're going to wear."

"Take that one." Samudra said, "How much?"

"Eh? But it's not a tiara, it's a crown, miss."

"No, right, right?" He said as he glanced at the already tidy Sky with his suit and shoes.

"Well, am I wearing one too?"

"No, it's a good fit to wear a tiara." Said Samudra who was approved by the employee who helped him.

"Yes that's it."

After the employee styled Ocean's hair and placed the crown on her head, Sky was enchanted by her sister's own beauty, her white dress with red and gold accents, with her crown overhead, if only she were not Sky's biological sister, she would have fallen in love with him.

"Let's go, it's been 5 over 40 minutes."

"Yes." Yeah."

After paying for the services and a crown, Sky and his sister went to The Alice's restaurant, they had already made a reservation and only needed to be present to pay the rest.

"Aren't you in trouble?" Sky asked as he saw his sister in the back seat through the middle rearview.

"No, I'm comfortable."

"Now it's 6 o'clock exactly, do you think they're already there?"

"Maybe they'll be calling you in a minute."

Just as Samudra guessed that the Sky would be obscured, the Sky phone rang and displayed the name of Asabi bu on its screen.

"Hello? The heavens?"

"It's Sky's sister, with Vianji's mom?"

"A-ah, I thought this was Heaven, where is your brother?"

"Sister is driving, she can't hold a cell phone, have a message for her?"

"Ah yes, we're already in The Alice, you guys are already inside?"

"Oh, I've booked in the name of Sky Sapphire, just tell the receptionist."

"Oh, I see, it's a good thing I told you first, I can be ashamed to be told to come out when I'm in."

"We'll see you in about 2 minutes, see you."

Samudra closes her call before Asabi does, she puts her sister's phone in her wallet and waits until she reaches the restaurant.

The Alice is a 4-star restaurant with all its advantages, it is very influential on the service for guests, including parking the car with their pride as a guarantee, so, the, when the sky has reached the front door for guests, the special counsel to park the car takes over the Sky car with a small tariff.

"Please, please." Sky said as he got out of the car and pulled out two pieces of 10 dollars.

"Good." The man answered while receiving money from the sky and parked his car.

"Samudra, let's go down." Said Sky while opening the back door and extending his hand.

"Thank you, brother." The answer.

The two walked in and were opened by the employees.

"With master and miss?" Ask a woman at the reception desk.

"Safe Sky."

"Towards here, sir." Said the receptionist who directed the two to a servant, "Please be escorted to the table for Sapphire Sky."

"Good." Answer the waiter.

From a distance, already the figure of a very familiar Asabi body in the eyes of Heaven, he came with his two parents who were wearing ordinary formal clothes, he said, white one-piece suit and dress patterned flowers.

"The sky?" Asabi stood up from her seat and walked towards the Sky, "Dan-um."

"Samudra Sapphire." He said while putting the fingertips of his right hand on the back of his left hand and positioning both of them at waist level, this was a form that he was more honorable than the person in front of him.

"Good night, Vianji. They're your parents?" Ask Sky.

"L-yes, they're my parents, um-let's sit down?"

The sky smiled, "Sure."

The two Asabi parents stood up and greeted the Heavens, they mentioned the names of each one as well as the Heavens.

"Feder Base." Father said.

"Ayinda Vina." Mother says.

"Safir Sky, and this is my sister, Sapphire Ocean." Sky Words.

After getting acquainted while standing, they sat down almost simultaneously.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Asabi was not confident because the Ocean was pressing Asabi with his face, attitude, and the way he dressed, and he was just wearing a shabby dress given by his mother.

"So, Sapphire, I heard you're Vianji's student." His mother said to the sky.

"Yes, Vianji helped me a lot in school, and I used to burden him sometimes."

"A-ah, no, the sky at all, no, not a burden."

Samudra glanced at Asabi with a look of pity, while he felt that he deserved to be pitied by the Ocean.

"Then, why are you, I mean." His father was confused to continue his sentence, he did not know what kind of word to choose.

"Interested in Vianji?"

"Hm." He said as he nodded, "You should have known, Sky, we are from a poor family"

"Do not continue with your sentence." Said Ocean cutting Feder's sentence, his eyes glancing sharply, his lips smiling implying something.

"My brother has never misjudged anyone, this time it's the same."

Sky did not say anything after his sister said that, the two Asabi parents were also speechless.

"O-oh, right, he said, The sky has gone up to 3rd grade?" Said Asabi opening up the conversation again after it had previously destroyed the Ocean.

"No, it's kind of surprising that you got an A in all subjects, time, acceleration test time."

"Ohh, did the sky accelerate? How old are you?" Tanya Ayinda, Asabi's mother.

"I'm 17 years old, the age to get married in this country is 17 at the earliest on certain conditions." Reply Sky while raising his hand to call the servant.

"One of them is meeting the eligibility requirements of marriage."

The Government of the Republic of Asia has a policy for anyone who wants to get married before the age of 25, which is to take a marriage eligibility exam that can be taken online through the official website of the government.

"Then have you finished the exam?" Ask her mother again.

"No, of course, I even just expressed my feelings this morning." He answered while receiving a menu list from the waiter, "What does old man Vianji want to order?"

"Ah, um." Both of them were a bit hesitant because they did not know the price of food in this restaurant, they only brought a small amount of money, maybe just enough to pay for the drink.

"Not only decide." Samudra said disperse the confusion of Asabi's parents, "In addition to him who invited you here, it is natural for him to spend a little money."

'Damn this kid, he said 'little funds' as if their money was so much, well, if they were that rich, I could take my only son off, my only son, he won't be lacking in his life like me and Ayinda.' Feder thought as Samudra said that line.

"H-hey, Sky, ka-we can pay kok, no, no need-"

"Here you go, Vianji, my sister is right anyway." Said Sky while pointing at the menu he ordered, and the waiter next to him recorded the menu that Sky ordered, "Oh, can you add some chocolate sauce on it? My sister really likes ice cream."

"Sure, please wait." The waiter said as it passed.

"Oh yeah, Sky, where are your parents?" Ayinda.

Asabi was of course shocked because her mother asked like that, she forgot to say that Heaven and Ocean were orphans.

"A-ah, mom, Sky, I'm sorry."

"Nothing."

"Hm? What's wrong?" Ask Feder who did not read the situation.

"Our parents were in an accident with someone else we love, and-well, you guys sure know how it goes." Said Ocean while closing his eyes as if he felt pain.

"O-oh, sorry, we weren't told first." Feder said, "Maybe Vianji forgot to tell us."

"Haha, it's long gone, we're okay with that." Sky replied while glancing at the trembling Asabi, "Oh yes, sorry if it's not polite, but I'm curious about your work."

"Oh, our job?" Feder asked back, he began to get excited when discussing his work, "I'm a fishtaker at Geraltine's restaurant, they always receive my big catch every day, haha."

"If my wife, she's a housewife, she sometimes helps me pack fish and bring them alive to restaurants."

"Well, you're hard workers."

"Of course, I once caught a blue tuna as big as a sofa in my house, haha, I was very satisfied back then."

"Feder, you're too hard." Ayinda said to her husband, but she did not speak so loudly, "Then Heaven, do you have a special job? Like part-time at a tavern?"

"Oh, I want to be a chemist-physicist and win the Nobel, but college majoring in physics is very expensive."

"Have you tried a scholarship?" Asabi asked upon hearing that Sky wanted to become a chemist-physicist, the instinct of a teacher suddenly walked over upon hearing the ideals of his disciple directly.

"You're a genius."

"I already have a few buildings in some cities, I plan to make a restaurant to raise money and fund my college and the Ocean." Sky replied, "It looks like next week has started recruiting employees."

'Damn it, how rich is he? Despite having a large capital, it would be useless if he could not manage it.' Feder thought as Sky told him about his work.

"Well, great, if the Ocean? Do you have any goals?" Ask Ayinda.

"Hm, I want to be involved in the military." Answer Ocean.

The sky turned to his sister, his facial expression saying as if the Ocean's choice was the wrong choice.

"It's just an ideal, brother. Don't make a face like that, I'm afraid." Samudra said with a smile and showed her long and neat fangs to her brother.

The two Asabi parents felt something in themselves when they saw the Ocean talking to her brother, they were like lovers, like mother to son, like father to his little girl, very close and full of romance.

"Ehem." Feder cleared his throat to restore the atmosphere as before, "Military? What do you want to be like?"

"Maybe I'll find out when I get recruited." Answer Ocean.

"Ehh, um, this is the ocean." Feder cleared his throat and tried to say something, "It doesn't offend you or anything, but, your body is so thin, I was worried when you said you wanted to be in the military."

"My name is Samudra, Mr. Feder Basa, of course I'm as calm as the sea and stormy, even I can easily-"

The sky placed his hand on his sister's shoulder, hence the Ocean did not continue his sentence.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Feder, but my brother is very sensitive to such a sentence."

"Ah, yes, it's okay." Answer with a ketus.

The table occupied by the Sky and the Asabi family is a table that has a shaft in the middle, so that the bottom can not be moved, but the middle can be moved, make it easier for guests who come in crowds to take food.

"Thank you." Said Samudra after the waiter put the last piece of lobster on the dining table.

'He lied about his parents' deaths? Or are his parents too rich?' Feder thought while biting his flesh without being cut first, and when he did, the Ocean looked at him pityingly.

"Dad, the sky hasn't touched the food." Asabi said to his father who chewed on the meat of his grilled crab before the Sky invited him.

"It's okay, Vianji, let's eat."

"Ah, fine."

The sky took the food and put it on his sister's plate along with her vegetables, then cut some meat and turned to her own plate.

Seeing this, Asabi was amazed, as well as her father and mother as well, seeing the two so full of romance without speaking a word, just as Sky understood the contents of her sister's heart as well as Ocean to her brother.

"Suitable for you?"

"Hm, it's a little hard on his skin, but it's not a problem." The word Ocean when asked by Sky.

"How's your tongue, Vianji?" Ask Sky.

"Ah, my tongue is fine, what is it?"

"Sister asks this food on your tongue, not the condition of your tongue." Said Samudra while putting pieces of tomatoes into his mouth.

"Ah, sorry, it feels good."

"Good." Said the Sky, then he looked at the two Asabi elders in front of him, "What about you guys?"

"Ah, we're fine, thank you." Ayinda answered representing her husband, "It's all really good."

"really? I can't cook, I can only make coffee."

"You mean water boiled to a scorch?" The word Samudra made a joke, everyone understood the Ocean joke and laughed lightly.

"You're handsome, you're rich, and Vianji said you're a genius, but you can't cook?"

"My brother's best taste is to not bother me in the kitchen." Answer the Ocean which was greeted with a light laugh from all of them.

"Hahaha, my sister is so reliable, I could starve to death without her." The word sky without feeling humbled.

"Vianji my son is very good at cooking, he can make good food even from leftovers." Ayinda said proudly about her son's ability to cook.

"Ah-ahaha, mother, there is no need to raise like that." Asabi lowered himself.

"Sir Feder, you said I was handsome, rich and genius, right?" Ask Sky, "Am I not a good candidate as Vianji's future husband?"

"Ohuk!" Feder choked, his wife responded and gave him water, "Uhuk, uhuk, um."

"As for that, Sky, I have one question left." He said as he glanced at his son's expectant face, "Are you sure? My son is 29, and you're 17."

"I'm sure, I even brought a ring." Said Sky while taking out a small white box from the pocket in his suit and placing it on the table.

"I plan to give it to Vianji if you guys approve of us."

"A-astaga." Ayinda said as she covered her mouth with both hands, "How is this?"

"Oh, this is too sudden." Feder said, confused too.

"I-I, I." Vianji tried to say something, "I-I, no, don't mind."

"Huh?"

"Darling?"

The two old men Vianji Basa were surprised by the sentence he said earlier, Samudra smiled, Sky is still with his face saying that he is relieved.

"How's it?" Ask Sky to Vianji's parents, "Do you bless us?"

"How is this, Yin? I'm confused." Feder asked his wife while whispering.

"I-I should have asked you, I don't know either."

"Damn it, if she had said this a long time ago, I would have had careful consideration, this is about my only daughter."

"But, he's 29, it's too late for him to get married, this might be his last chance, look at him."

Both of Vianji's parents looked at Sky who was still in a position of wanting certainty from them, along with the Ocean with her face filled with smiles and cheerfulness, somewhat in contrast to her brother, who was a little, especially with its striking crown as if to say that they have a higher caste than the Vianji family.

"They're a rich family, Vianji says he's a genius, he's also handsome and looks reliable." Ayinda gave consideration to her husband.

"Well, this is for my daughter." He said while distancing his lips from Ayinda's ears, "E-ehm, Sky."

"Yes?"

"We will bless your relationship." He said while nodding a few times, "We've wanted Vianji to get married for a long time, but I didn't expect a man as young as you."

"My children, he, he's a bit clumsy and not good at communicating, please take care of him." Ayinda said to the Sky.

"Vian? Is there something to say?" Ask Sky while standing with the box containing the ring that has not been opened.

"Please, please help." Vianji said stammering while handing over his left hand.

The sky grabbed Vianji's left hand, then opened the white box containing the ring with one hand, the ring issued was very beautiful, the color was gold, the throne was tungsten, the diamond was small and only amounted to three pieces, yet so sparkling and dazzling, Heaven placed the ring on the ring finger on Vianji's left hand without kneeling.

"From now on, we're officially engaged, right?" Ask Sky to both parents Vianji to make sure.

"True, please help until the wedding day."

The sky straightened his body, his sister understood and then stood beside his brother.

"Then we say goodbye." The sky turned towards Vianji, "See you at school."

"Yes, see you." He answered while holding his hand which was ringed by the sky.

"Oh, we should go home too." Feder said as he stood up, "Let's go home."

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Ayinda who took Vianji to walk.

They saw Sky was taking out his cell phone to pay the bill at the cashier, then went out and waited for the clerk to pick up his parked car somewhere.

"I want to pay the table bill 315." Feder said to the cashier.

"Table 315, please wait a minute." The cashier replied, "Um, a total of 612 dollars, paid for."

"Is that so? Thanks." Feder's self-esteem is trampled on, at least he wants to pay a quarter of his total bill as a father, but Heaven does not give him a chance.

The sky opened the door for his sister to get into his car which had been taken by the parking garage, while closing the door, he saw Vianji with his parents who had just come out of the entrance. With a smile, Heaven got into his car and left them.

'Sial, Diamond Courser Frigate, even modified.' Feder thought as he got into his car which was just an old Bogipop Porde series.

What a contrast to the car that Sky got by blackmailing professor Rizaki in the lab.

"Vianji, can you tell me about the sky?" Pinta's mother, "Mom can only know her through your story, when she sees it firsthand, I'm out of words."

"So you feel that way too? What about dad?"

"Honestly, I'm upset." He replied as he drove the car at a moderate speed, "He's arrogant, as if he's a god, just like his sister, after all, what's the crown he's wearing?"

"In school, the sky is feared, even by teachers like me."

"Why is that?" Ask mother.

"Um, it's a little hard to explain, how yes, he's cold-hearted, he doesn't hesitate to get rid of anyone even a teacher."

"Huh? That kid is brave like that? His uncle must be a government official."

"Dad, he was living alone with his sister, I was told by his close friend Sky, he has no family at all."

"Then why did he get to be like that?" Ask mother.

"Said the Princess, the domed friend, she grew up without parents 10 years ago, and only her sister was left, maybe that's also why she put the crown on her sister's head earlier."

"It doesn't make sense." Said his father who was still upset.

"Then what's the character?" Ask her mother to ignore her husband who is still upset while driving.

"He was a genius, almost every day after he set up the semester study program, he would not enter the classroom and be in the library all day. Even so, he always got an A and was always a parallel champion, he even took acceleration to 3rd grade, and the graduation exam will be held next month."

"That means she's gonna graduate any minute?"

"It seems so, and if it is like that." Vianji stopped her sentence, she gathered up the courage to continue with her truncated sentence, "Em, then, then there is no obstacle for her to marry me."

On the other hand, in the Sky apartment, it is not usual for the door handles of Dusk to look clean, maybe Dusk returns from his parents' house and will go back to sleep here, after the incident in Jembrana, he said, his parents forbade Dusk to return to the apartment out of concern, perhaps the Januri commander changed his mind and allowed him to stay in his apartment again.

Tok tok, tock,

"Just like? You're inside?" Sky asked after knocking on the door of the Dusk apartment a few times, "I want to say something."

"Yes? Oh, Sky." Dusk came out of his room in a T-shirt and shorts, "What's wrong?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure, but sorry, yeah, it's kind of dusty in here."

"Nothing."

Dusk cleaned the sofa in the living room, then allowed the Sky to sit facing each other.

"So, what's up, Sky?"

"You gonna stay here longer?"

"Hm, I don't seem to be traumatized by the events at Jembrana because my father trained my weak mentality, maybe I'll be here for a few months."

The sky nodded, then leaned against the sofa, "Did your father give you enough pocket money?"

"Hm." Dusk nodded, "Enough just to pay for a semester of school and daily meals, you want to borrow some money?"

"No, I wanted to offer you a job."

"Well, I'm interested, I'd like to buy a dress that's a little macho." The answer.

"We're on the top floor of this apartment building, and there's no longer any residents living here, I'm going to remodel this apartment into a restaurant, and I want to hire you as a supervisor, what say?"

"What's my job?"

"Just keep an eye on expenses, keep an eye on stocks, mark out stocks that are out of stock or less than they should be, then report income and expenses."

"That's what I can do anyway, as long as I don't cook, or scold employees."

"You don't have to do something like that, someone else will, how?"

"I want, how much do I pay?"

"Oh, I don't know the initial income yet, but maybe your starting salary is about 300 dollars, how?"

"Well, that's a lot, it's been my 4-month meal."

"If you agree, I'll start renovating this apartment."

"I agree." He answered with a bright smile.

The sky stood up, then came out of the Dusk room without doing anything, as she walked into her apartment, she saw Petra licking her sister's legs while resting on her knees and both hands.

Ignoring the strange thing, Sky took off his suit and hung it on a hanger, now he only uses a T-shirt and shorts.

Suddenly the Sky phone rang and displayed an Oakrose number.

"Corn? You're in the apartment?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"I'll bring the target to you right now then."

"Yes, please."
