The Florence

The Florence
The Unexpected Guest



Flo sat alone while enjoying a rapel lunch with his afternoon, the time had already shown at four in the afternoon. And it is believed by Flo, that Kyo is already in school for basketball practice, preparation against other schools.


Gerald walked out of his room, looking lethargic and lazy. The 21-year-old walked straight to the dinner table, poured water into a glass and sipped it quickly. He sat opposite Flo.


"Is there something wrong with you, Dek? Concerned about it so much? Fortunately, try if other girls, brother embat also dah. Hehe." Gerald tried to smile when looked at the sister with a strange look in his opinion.


"Not to be forced to smile, Bang. Ugly! Flo doesn't like it. Mending became his own brother, want to be angry, disappointed, sprained, overflowing aja, Bang! Not arrested!"


"Oh, that's it anyway, who else is brother thinkin? You can learn to forgive. It's not good if bad things are thought about for too long. Take the positive side."


"Is there a positive side?"


"There's dong.."


"What?"


"Being patient, it seems like a lie that you are not disappointed, but with this so strengthen your heart to be more able to sort out the right people for you someday." Gerald was proud.


"It's very heavy, Bang. Realistically speaking..."


"What did my brother dong say? Patience to the lies that Yola did during our courtship, patience not to vent anger, patience not to break her affair, patience to...."


"Enough, Bang! Flo doesn't listen. Brother must be happy, do not want to see sad brother kayak gini again. Flo's in pain, Bang." Flo said dramatizingly, but what he said was the honesty of his heart.


"Yes, yeah. Just keep eating it. Brother wants to eat too."


"But if people are heartbroken, they don't want to eat! There are also those who say they can not sleep because of thinking, lazy, and many other things. You see, Flo used to do that, Bang."


"Oh, that's not the case for brother! Logically thought, if it hurts his own brother who lost. I don't have a boyfriend, sick anymore! Really no?" Gerald rolled one eye teasing Flo.


"Buwahahahaha... Style really lo, Bang. Yesterday was a cry, pura kelilipan, no wind no rain, where there is stray water to the eyes of brother?" Flo laughed at the brother's words.


"satisfied? Satisfied ngetawain brother? Didn't you say you wanted to make your brother sad?"


"Eh, yes, Flo khilaf, Bang. Hehehe. Dimaafin yes, Bang. Big brother."


"Your dreadlocks are not good for your brother, try if you are seduced Kyo must be a child feeling like flying to nirvana. Haha." Sindir Gerald on Kyo whose man isn't here with him.


Flo recalled Kyo's expression as she seduced the man. Kyo's face is so cute. 'Ah 'ah.. Kangen will be!'



The reply from Kyo when he got the appeal from Flo made him giggle amusedly.


"Peace. I'm pretty, aren't I, Yang? Hehe."


It feels like you want to be happy or upset, have a lover whose level of confidence exceeds a god like Kyo?

TOKK


Someone knocked on the door a few times. Flo got out of his chair when he saw Bi Imah running from the kitchen to open the door.


" Bi, let Flo open the door. Maybe Yola's coming back here or Kyo!" Flo said to Bi Imah and then stepped foot towards the door. Bi Imah nodded slowly and returned to the kitchen to continue her work.


"Dec, if it's Yola, please tell her, don't come here or see me again!" Seriously exclaimed Gerald then continued his half-living meal.


"Hmmm...." Answer Flo lazily.


Opening one of the doors, Flo saw clearly who was in front of him at this moment. Flo gasped, his mouth gaping and then immediately closed it with both hands.



A call from his brother, returning his soul from the subconscious. Like frightened people, that's what Gerald captured.


"Who, Dek?" Gerald asked curiously, then he approached and his gaze turned on the unexpected guest who made his little sister a little 'Shock'.



"Hi, Bro!" A man standing at the door.


"Kean!" Strangled Gerald, then spread out both hands hugging his old friend.


"Sorry yes, I can come here now." Said Keanu while releasing a longing hug from Gerald.


"Lo tuh ya, say suddenly, come also not ngabarin! When are you coming back from Sydney?" Ask Gerald who actually forgot about Flo's existence among the three of them.


Flo confuses herself with the closeness of her brother and the man who incidentally was her first ex-love.


Keanu's smile turned to the beautiful girl who was dumbfounded. He cleared his throat making Flo spread his gaze in another direction.


"Oh yeah, know this is my sister, Florence, "Gerald introduced Flo to Keanu. "This is Keanu, brother friend at high school, he arrived - suddenly moved to Sydney, Dek. He's like a prankster, came uninvited go not say - say." Gerald Gurau, Flo lowered his head, lazily staring at Keanu.


"Gue knows, Rald." Keanu answered while smiling sweetly at Flo. Looks like the smile did not make Flo fascinated by it, maybe a few years ago it could thrill Flo and now it is no longer.


"When since when? How did I just find out?" Gerald was enthusiastic to hear Keanu's confession.


"First, in the city library." Keanu answered briefly but the emphasis on the place made Flo instantly raise his head to look at Keanu.


"Pantesan, you used to be very much the same reason children want to go to the library, this is the reason anyway. There's my beautiful sister, isn't there?" Tempt Gerald while patting Keanu on the shoulder.


"Flo enter the room first, Bang. Excuse me..." Flo quickened her footsteps towards her room, causing a sound from every footing on the stairs.


***


Flo left to the room. Gerald took Keanu into his room. Missing friends who have not met for four years.


"Have you been in college there?" Ask Gerald the first time he gets to the room.


"Udah, I want to go to college again here like. The nemenin Oma. Bokap nyokap I'm still in Sydney doing business there. I'm just coming back here. Kangen lo arrive - arrive..."


"Ah touched me, Bang!" Gerald replied with a chuckle.


"Actually I miss a girl who made my heart not calm all this time, Rald..."


"What's kidding again? Sometimes I don't like it, because your face is serious!" Gerald chimed in the words of his best friend with a confused expression as well as astonished.


"Gue is serious, and I'll chase him wherever he is. I want to fix the relationship with him, which is a mess like this." Keanu's gaze was sharp with a firm face.


"That's the name you haven't moved on, Bro. Haha." Gerald tried to get Keanu to joke.


"Hey, I also know the news about you! You also broke up with Yola, right? Fellow men have not moved on do not insult each other dong!" Keanu started to show a smile on his lips for the second time in the house.


Keanu's thoughts go back and forth to a time when he was with a beautiful girl named Florence, as well as his first love. Because before, Keanu did not want to have a relationship with a woman, a strange and heart-stirring love at that time. He even called it first love.
