The Florence

Cokoronotomo

After Aiko's death who went to live with Randy. Now there are two opposites who face each other without saying a word. They just stared at each other. There is a sense of awkwardness between the two. Nobody wants to start.

Kyo was tired of having to be quiet like this. It breaks the silence. Flo glanced at him briefly then lowered his head back. Kyo had looked at her girl's face for a moment until an idea came to his mind. The man came out leaving the reading room which only filled the two of them.

Kyo walked towards his room. Pick up the favorite guitar he has had these past four years. The guitar was given to Papi when he was 13 years old. He returned to the reading room and sat on a long sofa directly opposite the girl of his heart.

Kyo strummed his guitar and stared briefly at Flo then sang a song that stunned the girl.

Kokoronotomo (Heart Friends)

Anata kara kurushi mi o ubaeta sono toki

(I was able to let go of the sadness in your heart)

Watashi nimo ikite yuku, yuki nga wa ite kuru

(My spirit is also struggling on this path of life)

Anata to de au made wa kodoku nasasurati

(Before I met you, I was lonely)

Sono te no nukumori o kanji sasete

(Let me feel the heat of your fingers)

Ai wa itsumo

(Love is always humbling)

Tabi ni tsukareta

(When tired on the way)

Tada kokoro no tomo to watashi o yonde

(Remember me as a friend)

The song popularized by Mayumi Itsuwa in 1982 plays beautifully from the melodious voice of Kyo. Flo was amazed. He did not expect Kyo to sing the song. Not a young song today.

PROKK PROKK

"Kyo, cool!" Flo clapped his hands like a child who was happy to get a candy. He smiled at Kyo.

Kyo finished his singing and smiled making Flo Blushing instantaneously.

"Do you know why I sing this song?" Kyo asked who was answered by Flo's arm. "This song is a memory of Mami's time with Papi used to date, he said this song has a deep meaning for them."

"What do I need to do with her?" Tanya Flo plain.

Kyo sighed then smiled sweetly at Flo.

"Kokoro means heart and Tomo is friend, if combined scientifically as a friend or soulmate*. I hope you're the soulmate I've been looking for."

BLUSHING

Instantly Flo's heart melted, ah the sweetness of Kyo's sombre today.

"Let me check your forehead.." Flo stood up and touched Kyo's forehead. Kyo frowned in astonishment.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't have a fever."

"I don't have a fever!"

"Your mouth can be so sweet? Abis ate honey how many spoons anyway? Kirain fever, because usually likes ngigau not clear."

"I don't have a fever or ngigau, honey. What I was talking about was actually with my self-awareness." Said Kyo while holding Flo's hand.

"May I ask you something? At home, my heart was not calm. Plus I saw my little picture in your room. Can you?"

"Can. What the hell didn't do to you?"

"What did you say? If you've liked me since esde. How have you been quiet until now?"

"Now we're dating!"

"Not that, if yesterday we were not betrothed, is it possible that we are currently dating? Aye right? I think all of this is coincidence. Do you feel that way?"

"You feel it!"

"What yes? Now I ask you to be honest with me..."

Kyo stroked Flo's cheek with the back of her hand, looking at her deeply.

Flo was surprised, his eyes focused on the man who was expressing his heart. He was confused but also happy.

"That means you've been craving old feelings dong? You are also silent if you know who I'm dating. You're not jealous?"

"I'll still make sure of my own feelings. I also pura - pura jutek all this time with you, so you do not know that I love you. I used to ask you, you just don't want to think! I don't want it right now, do I?"

"Because you got caught, otherwise how could I?" Flo sneered.

Kyo laughed amusedly listening to Flo's chatter. It's true what Flo said. He chuckled as he stared at the two beads of Flo's shady eyes.

Flo's warm face was stared at like that by Kyo. Until the idea in his mind arrived - arrived. Flo remembers Mama's words.

"Road yuk..." Take Flo in doubt - doubt.

"Not wrong? Is this a date? Or atonement for not being sensitive to my feelings?" Tempted Kyo, but in his heart he was very happy.

"Yaaaa, think so. Yes, I went home, changed clothes. You will wait in front of the gate. Bye..."

Kyo smilingly nodded in agreement to the lover's request. After Flo left, he pranced around like a child.

'Ah, love.. Sometimes it makes an adult like a child, it makes people stop remembering age because it makes everyone forget, and love can change the world, from the only words I became you and us... YES! YES!'

"Kyo, healthy?" Mami's reprimand made Kyo stop soaring with excitement. She was ashamed to be rebuked by her mother like that. While scratching the nape of his head that did not itch, he smiled wryly.

"Eh, Mommy..."

Flo and Kyo are now in the Joyful Garden. Many rides are offered. There is Roller Coaster, comedy twist, Bianglala and many more.

"Flo, you want to ride that?" Kyo pointed at the Roller Coaster before him in a rancid fashion, in his heart he was actually afraid but pretended to be brave to look cool in Flo's eyes.

"Now. Come on..." Flo replied for sure but seeing the Kyo gelagat, he reiterated his desire. Flo remembers what Aiko said to her that Kyo was scared to the point of throwing up on the ride. "No, the others!"

"Really?" Ask Kyo with her song.

"Dare people?" Challenge Flo held back a laugh.

"Dare, Kyo is that!"

"Hahahaha, Kyo you're funny. No need to act in front of me. Then if you're why - napa, I'm worried. Let's find another one. I want cotton candy as much as ice cream."

"Cock buy all that sweet?"

"Well, why?"

"Look at you sweet. I don't need anything else." Gombalan Dimeh Kyo started again.

"Well, look at me? Hehe." Flo chuckles.

"You also ask that so, will not be full too even though buy the same wagon." Kyo Ledek.

" Now, start again. Huft..." Flo pouted as she clasped both of her hands on her chest. Kyo laughed, then kissed Flo's cheek, taking a chance in narrowness.

"Pretty."

"Get!"

Kyo took Flo into the side zone of the Food Court area. There are several places that can be used for selfies. Instagramable.

"Here I take a photo..." Pinta Kyo's.

"What a great photo..." Flo immediately got in style, Kyo chuckled for the umpteenth time.

"Change style again try!" Kyo had Flo change her style and expression.

"What a beauty, whose son is it? How come Pinter took my heart?" Tempta Kyo made the hue of Flo's face flushed back.

"Can ae..." Flo replied briefly withstanding embarrassment.
