The Florence

Toothpick

The next morning, the time already showed at 05.00 wib. Flo wriggled on his bed, his right hand guerrilla looking for a cell phone on the nightstand.

"In the morning who called, wonder I don't know what I'm sleepy about? Just be careful if it doesn't matter..." Grumbling Flo after getting his cell phone, his eyes blinked when he found out who had dared to disturb his beautiful dreams. Judith's? 'You want what the hell is he?'

📞 Yes hello, what's up, Dith?

📞 Sorry to bother you so early, I just wanted to ask you for a minute. Tomorrow Monday afternoon after school please meet me at uks. Pleases...

📞 Want to talk about what the hell, Dith?

📞 About me, you and Mecca. After that, I will not bother you anymore. As an ex-boyfriend, at least you can also appreciate the time we have spent together. You want to meet me for a minute?

📞 If my problem is with you, ok. But when it comes to Mecca, I don't want to talk about her anymore, Dith.

The shadow of the incident the other day when Flo grabbed Mecca flashed for a moment. Frankly, he himself was surprised to be able to do that. The effects of emotions that can not be held back again, make him doubt and shame if he meets a creature called Mecca.

📞 But he's ex-te-.....

📞 Former friends? Okay, but also keep in mind that she was in your life just like me. We have both been in your life and heart. I know you're mature and wise enough. At least look at him as a fellow human being. Can it?

📞 Dith!

Flo's voice was flashing.

📞 Flo...

📞 But please don't waste my time talking about him long ago, I'm lazy...

📞 Means it can be long if about us? Haha.

📞 Diiiietttthhhhh....

📞 Yes, yes, thank you. See you tomorrow, I'll be waiting...

📞 What the hell are you? Haha, yeah, I'm going to take a shower.

📞 Yes, sana gih. Surely you just woke up, there was a drool in the mouth, there was dirt in the eyes, random hair - scramble. Haha...

📞 Juuuddddddddddiiiiiettthhh!!

Flo turns off the call still connected to Judith.

'About everybody! Still dare he cheat on me? But really, hehehe. So embarrassed!' Flo stood in front of the dressing table in her room, staring at her reflection in the glass. How absurd he is now. He immediately ran to the bathroom in the room and began his solo concert for hours without any interruption.

Flo came out of his room, closed the door slowly and went down the stairs. He looked around looking lonely like there was no human but him.

Flo's steps came to a halt in front of her brother's room. He knocked on the door but did not get a confirmation from the owner of the room.

Open wide - the width of Gerald's room at the moment, there's no one in there. The door closed again. Flo fell silent, thinking about what Judith said this morning when she called him. He was leaning against the side wall of Gerald's room. Unaware by him, there were already two beings who were now intensely staring at him.

"Waw, so Sexy..." The words from the man's mouth are what makes Flo's daydreams scatter. Kyo.

"Armghhh... You pervert!" pekik Flo toned. While both hands cover the chest exposed only wrapped in a white tangtop. Kyo and Gerald glanced at each other. A second later, the two of them chuckled together as if echoing filled all the rooms in the house. Flo's face was red extinguished, how not, that morning he had been tempted by his new lover, Kyo. Kyo saw clearly the curves of the girl's body that were covered in tangtops and hotpants. 'Oath, shame pisan euy...'

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Flo's room door was knocked on by someone, he bent his head out to see who it was, it turned out Aiko. Flo opens the door to her room and lets her little friend in.

"Not exactly what is Randy?" Flo asks Aiko, who is known to have been romantically involved with Randy, Kyo's best friend.

"No, she sent her mom to Oma's house."

"Lo not taught?"

"Am I ready?"

"Daughter right?"

"But, the two of us don't know it's already. Can - can be a beggar world of paradise lose his consciousness that has been taken by force with Randy!"

"Gue wasn't taken by Randy, I was taken by brother Elo!"

"Lice I took, meaning it was me."

"Haha, kirain. Isn't it in sono's shadow, elo's a witch?"

"Deeh, what was my dream last night? Having a best friend is sometimes calm, sometimes less than an ounce. Ampuuunn...." Aiko pretended to clench both her hands begging for mercy.

"I'm not saying mouth by the way. Huh..." Flo grunted while looking for a gap to tickle Aiko to fall on the bed. They chuckled together for some time until they both heard someone strumming a guitar and humming.

" Who is singing?" Aiko asked Flo who was still snuggling comfortably.

"Abserve me times!" answer Flo spontaneously.

"No, it's like Kyo deh. His voice from the side. What balcony is it?" Aiko took Flo and headed to where they listened to the song.

**Price I should pay

Just for a romance

My life is ruined, my life is languishing

I, die don't want to

Life is not capable either

Why is this so

I'm heartbroken

Heartache

The pain is half dead

I'm going crazy

Because of love

It just feels like dying, just**...

The song from BRE - Half dead, which Kyo now sings. The kyo? Aiko and Flo are astonished, not the love song she played, but a heartbroken song.

"Kyo?" Aiko's yelling made the man stop the finger quotes from his guitar.

"Gue is not deaf! By the way, don't use nyolot!"

"Hehehe. I'm just calling. Well you why sing sad, it should be the dong!" Aiko replied, not to blame.

"No, bang Gerald's heartbroken again. Yes, I just sing to be entertained." said Kyo lightly.

"The song you sing has a strong killing aura for bang Gerald know? Passenger song Let Her Go. It's good..." Aiko protest.

"Heh son of siamang! It's the same song, the aura's even more painful."

"Well, you're also a Siamese! Our brains are eleven twelve, aka not much different."

"Udah, no, Upin Ipin, can not! Not that it makes me laugh and even make a sesek!" Gerald mediated the twins debate, then gathered to sit in the family room. He had spent a cigarette on the front balcony of the living room separated by a door and a glass wall.

"What's the matter?" Flo asked as she approached Gerald.

"Abang breaks up with Yola. When is the day you cannot pick you up. His intention was to give a surprise to Yola, even first he who gave unexpected surprises for brother." Gerald replied trying to calm down.

"What surprise, Bang?"

"She's again Kissing with her ex in her apartment. And worse, you know what you didn't say?"

"What, Bang?" ask the three of them at the same time.

"Sorry, I go straight in, I just want to give you a memory - a memory of speech, which I won't repeat for the second time, goodbye Yola, hopefully happy elo."

"Bad crazy! Bang Gerald's cool..." Aiko clucked in admiration, Gerald gawking. The girl pointed both of her thumbs at Gerald.

"Oh, this is the wind that can get in anyway! Nih nih kelilipan..." Gerald rubbed his eyes together pretending to laugh. Laughter is quite heartbreaking because it is accompanied by a small stuffing in it.

"Bang, if you want to cry, cry. Hugs Flo, Bang!" Flo approaches her brother and opens both of her hands to hug Gerald. Gerald poured into Flo's arms. The man rested his head on the shoulder of his beloved sister.

"Prophey, Bang." Aiko said sincerely.

"Flo still can't believe that Yola could be like that Brother! I think she's a good, loyal woman."

"But for almost a month we rarely met, Dek. Naturally, he needs an escape. Who can be next to him when he needs to, maybe his ex is more free to nemenin and love him. Brother tried sincerely, Dek."

"It's still unbelievable, Bang. I dream that Yola can be like that?"

"Ever written by Jules Verne, no man is perfect and never satisfied. Well that's what you really caught with Yola yesterday." Gerald said with a heavy voice.

"Bang, rest assured that your life is worth more than a toothpick..."

"meaning?"

"If the toothpick, he is used once and then thrown away because it is meaningless. If your life is only once and must be passed with a real person - really right. One day Yola will lose her brother." Said Flo steadily and embraced Kyo as approval. Kyo and Aiko were silent - silently holding back laughter. Quickly, Kyo pulls Flo up and runs down but previously gives Gerald a toothpick container on the glass table. Aiko follows.

" Kyo, what do you mean?" Gerald started to grumble.

"If you want to cry, hide there, Bang. Many themes. Haha." Kyo answered as he ran, escaping from Gerald's rampage.

"Damn it, I'm considered a toothpick like three minions. Look out for you guys..." Gerald began to smile while holding a toothpick container.
