A Thousand Flowers

A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 63. Unexpected


After breakfast, Shin Seo Hyun sat in the living room. He opened the tablet, then checked the email and attachments of files he had not read last night.


Shin Seo Hyun did not intend to leave for work today. He wanted to spend a full day with Ha Na and Izzah. Create thousands of beautiful moments that he will remember all the time.


A million kirana stories that will make his days more colorful like a rainbow bridge stretched beautifully on the twilight sky.


Unknowingly, Shin Seo Hyun smiled to herself. Imagine a happy flower that will soon blossom in his heart.


In the kitchen, Izzah was still busy cleaning the cutlery they had used. Occasionally there was sweat dripping on his forehead with his sleeves. The exhaustion caused by his nightmare last night is still on the verge of collapse. His work concentration was disrupted.


PRAANGS!


Suddenly the glass Izzah was holding fell down, hitting the pile of dishes underneath.


Hearing the noise, Shin Seo Hyun put down the tablet and ran towards the kitchen.


“Astagfirullah!” Izzah was shocked and quickly checked the glass he had just dropped. A second later, he breathed a sigh of relief as none of them broke.


At the same time Shin Seo Hyun arrived and stood beside Izzah.


“You all right? Any injuries?” shin Seo Hyun asked worriedly, watching Izzah's hand as she glanced at the broken pile in the sink.


Izzah turned his head and was stunned to see the bias of worry on Shin Seo Hyun's face.


“I ... is fine. Sorry, it's surprising, Mas Dirga,” said Izzah stammered.


“Thank God then. Go accompany Ha Na! Let me continue,” Shin Seo Hyun said gently.


“No need, Mas. I can still finish it,” Izzah insisted.


Shin Seo Hyun was just about to open her mouth when Ha Na suddenly appeared, then pulled out her hand and Izzah's hand.


“Uncle, Aunty .. here! Follow me!” take Ha Na, drag Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah.


Without a word, Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah followed Ha Na. The little girl led them to the back garden, making Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah look at each other with raised eyebrows.


“Uncle, Aunty .. view!” ha Na said, pointing at the garden.


Shin Seo Hyun was flabbergasted to see the beauty of the flowers blooming in her garden.


“Excellent! The strength of that strange girl was amazing. How could he turn a dying garden into such a beautiful one?” shin Seo Hyun was amazed. While Izzah also gawked, not believing in the results of his own work.


“Come Uncle, Aunty!” shouted Ha Na, standing on the bike path while waving her two tiny hands. Calling Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah who were still standing on the terrace.


Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah stepped slowly on different sides, as if they did not want any plants to be missed from their observations. Then, Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah's stares met again as they twisted their bodies together.


DEG! DEG! DEG!


Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah's condition was cut off when Ha Na ran to pick them up and grabbed Izzah's arm. Izzah followed Ha Na's short steps accompanied by Shin Seo Hyun with cheeks that felt warm, as warm as the sun that morning.


Ha Na's small steps stop at a corner of the garden hidden behind a gazebo. Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah stood flanking Ha Na.


“Aunty, here why are the flowers and grass dead?” ask Ha Na innocently. He looked at every corner of the park.


“Another beautiful ...,” protest Ha Na wonder.


Izzah and Shin Seo Hyun circulated the look around. Ha Na pulled Shin Seo Hyun's hand, making the man suddenly duck to look at Ha Na.


“Uncle, ugly garden how to be beautiful again?” Ha Na who knew nothing felt very curious about the change of the park.


“Ha Na believe miracle?” shin Seo Hyun smiled. He was confused as to how to explain to the little girl. Ha Na nodded.


“That's how ... God can do whatever He wants,” continued Shin Seo Hyun, trying to give understanding according to Ha Na's age.


“But ... why didn't God turn on that one?” ha Na protested while pointing at the dried flowers and grass in front of her.


“Ha Na want God to also change the flowers so beautiful?” ask Izzah gently. Again Ha Na just nodded.


“Then, let's help Aunty flush it,” invite Izzah, then move to find a water hose.


However, he lost quickly to Shin Seo Hyun. The man came with two hoses in his hand and handed one of them to Izzah.


Ha Na is very happy to play water from the hose held by Izzah. He laughed and danced as if he were under a torrent of rain. Shin Seo Hyun smiled amusedly at Ha Na's curmudgeonly behavior.


Satisfied with the artificial rain shower, Ha Na ran closer to the flower pots lined up. He crouched down to observe the flowers in the pot, as if waiting for them to bloom.


As Izzah turned his body to water the grass, he was stunned to stare at the large tree standing firmly at the end of the garden. At first glance he saw a glow seeping from the trunk of the tree.


“Aisshh!” shriek Shin Seo Hyun was shocked when the water from the hose Izzah was holding bathed him. He saw Izzah standing there. He unconsciously followed Izzah's view.


Suddenly Izzah recalled the painting of a tree in his father's secret room. Look at the tree more carefully. His eyebrows shot up when he realized the tree he was observing was very similar to the painting he had seen.


“Muggihkah is the fourth gate he has been looking for?” inner Izzah wondered.


Izzah looked up at the sky in the distance. The moon faded at the end, half hiding behind the big tree. The full moon just passed. Izzah's eyes flashed. A seed of hope began to bloom in his heart because of the light emanating from the tree. Izzah unconsciously smiled. Making Shin Seo Hyun who happened to glance at him smile along.


Suddenly .…


Shin Seo Hyun pointed the hose she was holding at Izzah, making the girl scream in shock. Izzah rubbed his face and attacked Shin Seo Hyun fiercely.


Izzah's screams stole Ha Na's attention. The little girl turned her head and immediately ran up to Shin Seo Hyun and Izzah. Take a shower in the middle position. Occasionally Shin Seo Hyun lifted Ha Na's tiny body and danced around in the rain from the hose Izzah was holding. That morning, they were really happy in joking and laughter.
