A Thousand Flowers
Chapters 18. Relieved

Tiara opened her eyes slowly. Dimas who saw that immediately called his parents.

“Ma ... Pa.. Kak Tiara is awake!”

Mr. Prasetyo immediately called the doctor. Madam Prasetyo ran over to Tiara. Tiara's hand was held tightly.

“Alhamdulillah you are awake, dear. Mama is very worried,” said Mrs Prasetyo gratefully as she stroked Tiara's hair affectionately.

The doctor came in to check on Tiara.

“Mr and Madam need not worry. Tiara is past her critical period. Please keep an eye on the food Tiara is consuming!”

“Good, Doc. Thank you,” replied Mr and Mrs Prasetyo almost simultaneously.

The doctor came out too. Mr and Mrs Prasetyo sat next to Tiara.

“Dim, take Izzah out for food!” mr. Prasetyo's orders after glancing at his watch. The day has shown at 13:25.

“Iya, Dim. Izzah accompanied Tiara. Definitely hungry now,” Mrs Prasetyo said in support of her husband.

"Yes, Ma ... Pa .. Come on, Zah!” take Dimas with you while stepping out.

“Excuse me, Uncle .. Aunt .…” Izzah pampits following Dimas.

Dimas opened the front door of the car for Izzah.

“Izzah sitting in the back seat aja, Mas,” reject Izzah politely. Dimas stared hard.

“About me a driver? Sit in the front seat! I will not bite you kok,” Dimas command firmly

Izzah. Feel the excitement seen by the security guard and the people who were in the parking lot. Dimas held a smile.

Along the way Izzah stared out the window. Not talking at all. Dimas glanced at Izzah.

“What food do you like?” tanya Dimas broke the silence between them.

“Anything is okay,” replied Izzah without turning his head. Dimas head bobbles.

“This girl is really smart to piss me off,” umpat Dimas in heart.

“Why? Never seen a flower, have you? From earlier glared at the flowers on the side of the road, it could be a layered tuh flowers,” seductive Dimas, trying to melt the atmosphere.

“I saw him with his eyes, Mas. Not lasers. Anyway, I just feel weird,” replied Izzah jutek

“Any?” Dimas scrunched his forehead

“Iya. The city is not only filled with flowers, but the street names are also all names of flowers, not heroes. In fact, the building is also called a flower. Don't be daunted at the restaurant menu is also the name of the flower again.”

In the heart Dimas laughed amusedly. Funny with Izzah's mind.

“The name is also the Land of a Thousand Flowers. How else,” reply Dimas defending his hometown

Izzah jerks. Shut up, like deja vu.

Dimas parked his car in a fancy restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant, the waiter greeted Dimas and Izzah kindly, escorting them to a table on the second floor.

Dimas ordered a table with the best view. Izzah was amazed by the beautiful view of the city. It was like being in a flower garden.

Izzah read the menu that the waiter presented. He was confused as to what message. Although he had been lucky several times to eat at a fancy restaurant while presenting at an international seminar, all the food list he read now feels foreign.

Several times he was seen breathing a long sigh. Dimas watched her from across the table.

“Why? Nothing interesting huh?” tanya Dimas saw Izzah never order his food.

Izzah. “It's not so, Mas. Baffled. Lots of menus.”

“You want me to help you choose?” ask Dimas

“Hem .. how about if the mainstay food of this restaurant only,” Izzah fast.

Dimas smiled. "Ingenious is also a girl" thought Dimas.

Disappointed dimas. However, he complied with Izzah's wishes and drove his car back to the hospital.

***

Three days ago Izzah was arrested by Dimas' parents. Tiara's condition has improved and from yesterday can go home. Today Dimas promised to take Izzah home to Ki Daud after completing his work. The hour hand shows 10:05. There's still about five hours left.

Izzah decides to spend time in the Dimas family library. Yesterday night Dimas offered to read a collection of medical books his family had because he saw Izzah getting bored.

Madam Prasetyo and Tiara sat on the back porch. They talked while enjoying a warm cup of tea.

“Ma ... who exactly is the girl who replaced Ki Daud?” tiara asked after chatting for quite a while.

“Entahlah. Mama also does not know what to do with Ki Daud, but Izzah is very competent. Wh why? You feel uncomfortable with his presence here?”

“No. Not so, Ma.”

“Terus?”

Tiara looked doubtful.

“Say! Mama promised not to protest,” said Mrs Prasetyo

“Yes, Ma .…”

“Iya.” Mrs Prasetyo brandished two fingers of the promised sign. Tiara smiled.

“Ma .. according to Tiara .. there is something strange about Izzah,” whispered Tiara, worried that her words were heard by others.

“Whimsy how?” Mrs Prasetyo did not understand

“Gini, Ma... whenever Izzah checked Tiara's condition, Tiara felt Izzah's hand was like taking something out. It feels cold and warm. Very convenient.” Tiara imagined the reaction of her body as Izzah touched her.

“Ah you are here. Mama think, it's because Izzah touched you not only with his hands, but also with his heart,” said Mrs Prasetyo gave understanding to Tiara. Tiara was stunned for a moment.

“But .. if Mama touches Tiara, Tiara doesn't feel that way, Ma. Does that mean Mama didn't touch Tiara with heart?” Tiara's question made Madam Prasetyo's heart rustle a little.

“It's not so, dear. Mama is your parents, while Izzah is a prospective doctor. Of course mama and Izzah have a different touch, because psychologically you have different suggestions regarding our touch.” Mrs Prasetyo assured her daughter.

“Maybe,” replied Tiara slowly. Not satisfied with his mother's explanation.

However, he prefers to stop the discussion about Izzah enough to get there. After all, her mother would never understand, because she was the one who felt it, not her mother.

***

Izzah was in the Dimas family library. The library is quite large. His collection of books is very large.

Around the library room with slow steps. Thousands of books lined up neatly on terraced shelves. His fingers went through book after book. Some books look very old.

For half an hour, Izzah had not found the collection of medical books he was looking for. He kept moving deeper and deeper. Read the label of the category of books that are plastered on each shelf. There are two more aisles left.

Entering the last hallway, Izzah was transfixed as if bewitched by a painting displayed at the end of the hallway. Its hidden location makes Izzah curious. He stepped foot closer to the painting.

“Hah!”

Izzah stood wide.

Hi my friend readers …

How's story? Likey? If you like the May story, you can also visit the next application (N0v3lM3 and N0v3l4ku). There are already two final stories there (Young Miss Conqueror and Love and Torture). The story on going there is Perfect Faith.

Just look for the pen name Lathifah Nur, will appear all May's works. So, how is the name of the question different? That's because it turns out May Ersa's name is already wearing it. So, May had to go in with another pen name. The story is exciting, especially the Conqueror Young Miss. Make baper.
