The Florence

Sharp Bends

Gerald stared intently at the scene he was witnessing for real. Keanu clasped his sister's hand. He moved his feet closer to them both. Without caring about the mother's gaze full of investigation. Oma Silvia is still busy choosing the right menu for her show not knowing the arrival of Gerald.

Flo's older brother looks emotional with Keanu. He forcibly releases his best friend's grasp on Flo.

Keanu got out of his chair, stood face to face with Gerald, feeling unaccepted.

"What's up, Rald?" Asked Keanu who still did not understand the sharp gaze of Gerald.

"Bro, I told you that I was fooled by the same nyokap bokap. Why are you still chasing him here anyway?" Gerald folded both his hands on his chest.

"Gue didn't follow him, Rald! We did not accidentally meet here. Maybe it's fate that brings us back together." Keanu replied expectantly while watching Flo's movements in front of him.

"Don't dream, Mr. Keanu!" Exclaim someone who is now behind Gerald. The three of them are unaware of Kyo's arrival. Kyo clenched his hands, holding back the emotions that had been in the crown.

Flo is surprised by the arrival of Kyo - arrived and plus his face looks upset.

Gerald as an older brother immediately mediated the two men who fought over his sister, so there was no commotion at the Mama cake shop.

"Kyo, you know the name of the road is not always straight? Must be winding - winding and do not forget many sharp turns that we are not aware of. So you have to be careful. Many holes where - where, if you get caught off guard will plunge you free into the abyss." Gerald said as he glanced at Keanu, intending to insinuate the man. Kyo nodded in understanding.

Flo who was still trying to digest the intention of the brother was only able to stare at the floor he was on, then slowly he dared to raise his head to circulate the view in all directions. Until Kyo and Flo get into a fight.

Kyo immediately held Flo's hand, the girl was not ready to get sudden treatment from Kyo, only able to resign.

'Cock effect like I got caught cheating huh? I don't know - why. What was my dream last night? How much drama is like this?'

"We go home first, Bang. Excuse me, Mr. Keanu." Kyo puts emphasis on Keanu, Gerald prevents Keanu from preparing to pursue Flo.

Kyo and Flo go hand in hand. Before opening the door, Kyo still had time to smile at his future mother-in-law and got the same response.

Gerald and Keanu sat facing each other. There's no chatter whatsoever. An upset Gerald immediately asks about Keanu's arrival right at his mother's cake shop.

"What do you mean here, Kean?" Ask Gerald seriously. Gerald rarely called names to all his friends, unless he was angry.

"I didn't say, do I need to be clear? I take this as God's destiny." Keanu replied casually while smiling wryly.

"Please, don't just because your love is going crazy! You can't accept that the girl you like already has one? I don't want to be like this. What the hell you been lacking all this time, Kean? Out there are many girls who queue up to make the same deck you. It won't be hard to move on!"

"Gue doesn't need another girl. Because all I love is one person and that's your real sister. Don't make me dance to another girl! And one more thing, I'm here because of my oma. You look over there, it's my Oma. And I have no intention of chasing after your sister like a stalker. If it wasn't God's plan to bring me together, Flo, then whose plan? I'm not that low, Rald. I'll try to get my love back at any cost."

Keanu approached Oma Silvia who was still chatting with her best friend's mother, she greeted aunt Cilla who was in fact Flo's biological mother. A little joking with Oma and Aunt Cilla. From his seat, Gerald stared intently at Keanu and immediately looked away as he let out a rough sigh.

On the way home, Kyo was silent. Flo is confused as to what to do to restore Kyo's expression to its original state. He knew that the man he was hugging was currently feeling god-level jealousy.

The two of them passed through the streets quietly, absolutely no one wanted to start a conversation. Flo hugs Kyo while leaning her head against Kyo's back. The girl tightened her embrace.

"If you're angry why use say - say?" Tanya Flo plain.

"If I don't say, you won't be sensitive. Just like your own feelings, you are not sensitive, especially that one? Good thing bang Gerald came first, so I don't have to make sure the guy fights there!"

"Why fight? I'm not doing anything. I was there waiting for you, didn't know Keanu would meet at Mama's. If you don't believe you can ask Mama directly." Flo tries to explain the misunderstanding.

"Not to dodge! I don't like you meeting him there. Just now I stay tight, there's been something deletin. What about long? Wasn't she left?" Kyo begins to show his dislike for Keanu, until it sounds ridiculous for Flo to hear him.

"Oh, my girlfriend's story is cranky again huh? Cup, cup, baby. I'm not naughty. So don't worry about it." Entertain Flo while patting Kyo on the shoulder slowly.

"Not funny!" Kyo's reply was brief, printed clearly on the man's face that he was holding back laughter hearing Flo's appeal but was overwhelmed with prestige, he was still pretending to be a manyun.

"Yes, tomorrow I want to deket again ah same Mr. Keanu or another guy who is cooler, more handsome, more romantic, more--...."

"More what else? No one loves you more than me. I'm the only one who loves you more than my own life."

"Geez, wash him!" Flo muttered softly but could still be heard by Kyo because of the quiet road conditions.

"I'm sorry, Yang. Boyfriend himself kokatain kayak that anyway?" Kyo's still in the sewer, Flo chuckles.

"You're weird too, I haven't explained anything yet. But you've speculated yourself with your mind that doesn't make sense."

"Well, you're my boyfriend. Is jealousy forbidden? Is there any evidence that jealousy is not permissible? If anything, I'm the first to protest. I'm cem - mom - ru..."

Flo laughed as hard as he tightened while repeatedly hitting Kyo's back slowly. He was amused at Kyo's senseless talk that burned jealous flames.

" Yang, it hurts! It's called torture!"

"What's that?"

"Yes, you are torturing my soul and mind!"

Nyesss Brrrr's... That's how Flo felt in his chest, he was confused as to what to answer to refute his interlocutor who was raving indistinctly in front of him. Freeze instantly. As the saying goes, silence is gold.

'Like - like you a...'
