Alstroemeria Of Almeria
Still hoping

November 12th

Two more weeks have passed, Baltasar is still unaccounted for. Police found no sign of Baltasar in the Spanish city.

..........................

In the morning sunny his body was still rolled on a soft mattress with his eyes closed as if he did not want to end the remnants of the night slowly run out. His memory refreshed considering his time with Anna, the sunlight had peeked out, forcing his way through the cracks of the window as if to tell him that the day had passed.

"I flew without stopping, my ears became deaf, and my eyes could no longer see, the only way I could only go to love" a smile fell on his lips, still with my eyes closed. Andres still reminiscing about his love story with Anna, suddenly he woke up from his dream.

"A real bad luck to me?!" andres said with annoyance while ruffling his hair

Andres's flushed face looked at a watch that kept going and changed time to time. Yes it is a memory of a woman who was once a part of him. The world seemed to collapse, when Anna began to say "I want our relationship to end." Yes, the world is collapsing, Andres's own world. Her chaotic feelings made her tear apart her apartment room.

Andres was still hoping to be reunited with Anna, with great hope that she would immediately get ready to go to Anna's house to talk about their relationship, not forgetting that Andres stopped by a flower shop, and then stopped by her, buy a flower for the woman he still loves.

"Hello, welcome to Heaven's Florist. May I help you?" greet the florist's waiter kindly

"I need flowers for my girlfriend, but I don't really know what kind of flowers I should give her. Can you recommend?" andres said with a sweet smile

"Are you buying flowers for a particular event?"

"No, I just want to give it as a gift"

"There are many kinds of flowers that are recommended as gifts. But I think the rose is the best flower as a gift, because it symbolizes love, hope, and passion"

"All right, I’ll take roses, then."

"What rose do you want? We got red, yellow, and white roses"

"Is there a difference?"

"Not really, they just have different colors"

"Oh, white roses sound best"

"good. How much do you want to buy?"

"How much?"

"It costs 15 euros per stalk and 150 euros for one bouquet"

"I bought a bouquet"

"Do you also want to write a message on the card? I'll stick the card in the flower if you want"

"Does it cost extra?"

"No, it’s free."

"That's it then"

"alright, sir. Please write a message on the card"

Andres writes a poetic phrase for Anna, reminding her of their beautiful memories, hoping Anna will forgive him and return to him.

"Done"

"OK sir. A bouquet of white roses and a message card totals to 150 euros"

"Does it accept credit card payments?" ask Andres

"I’m afraid not."

"That’s okay. I'll pay with cash then. Here'smoney. Just take the change"

"Thank you, sir. Have a nice day"

"Yeah, you too." replied Andres

Finished from buying flowers, Andres immediately rushed to Anna's house.

.........................

"Please sit down sir!"

"Bii.. Please make a cup of coffee for guests" said Madame Sofia

"There is no need to bother the madam" said the inspector kindly

"It's not a hassle sir! Any word on Baltasar?" ask Lady Sofia

"That's what I want to talk about madam, we the police are really sorry, we can't find Baltasar, there's no clear trace of Baltasar's disappearance, he disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth." The inspector gave an explanation

"It's been two weeks sir! What the police did during that time" Alessandro questioned the police's performance

"Alesso, speak politely with the inspector" his mother reprimanded

"It's the coffee sir" said aunt Maria as she put the coffee on the table

"Please drink sir, coffee" said Sofia

"Yes thanks" said the inspector "Not so sir, we have tried our best, but still we did not get further instructions" the inspector explained the reason

"Keep you giving up, and this search is stopped as you mean it" Alessandro asked in annoyance

"No, we'll keep trying"

"We hope that Baltasar will be found soon sir" said Sofia

"Yes madam, I just want to say that, thanks for the coffee, I say goodbye first"

"Good sir!"

..........................

Arriving at Anna's house, Andres immediately knocks on her door with hope. She hides a bouquet of flowers behind her back, hoping Anna likes her surprise. "Tok tok tok tok tok"

"Yes for a moment" Anna rushed to open the door

"Hay" Andres said with a sweet smile

"You? Why did you come here" Anna said in shock

"Surprise!! I just want to give you this, for you! Especially for you" Andres gave me the flowers

Anna took the flower and threw it into the trash, right in front of Andres.

"Satisfied now! Get out of here, I don't want to see you again" Anna said in annoyance

"Why is it so easy for you to leave me? Is it because of Peter?" andres asked sadly

"It's not about Peter, it's about you, Dres! You never appreciated me this whole time. Even Peter is better than you"

"So right! If you're dating Peter now"

Anna was silent at Andres's question.

"Jawab Anna, I want that answer out of your mouth. After that I won't bother you anymore"

"Yes, I'm dating Peter now"

"really? You must be kidding me" Andres said while holding back his sadness

"I'm not kidding Dres! Forgive me for losing this love, forget all the good memories with me and assume I was never there for you, I want to be happy even without you" Anna said slowly

In shock, Andres took a deep breath as he endured the pain of hearing Anna's reply, with great disappointment, Andres left from there. His mind was so chaotic, it was as if the earth had stopped spinning for him. After Andres left, Anna went to the trash can again and took the flowers, she saw a card there, with curiosity she opened and read it the contents of the card "Tell me again about the full moon. I remind you of the love I whispered that night. The full moon will be there every time. Never could I have imagined seeing the full moon smiling and going in the opposite direction!. I hope the full moon will come back to light up my night. With Love, Andres."

After reading Andres's message, his feelings were so heavy, he closed his eyes while taking a deep breath and trying to forget all his fond memories with Andres "All has ended Dres, my heart is frozen for you" anna said and rushed into her house.

...***********...

Is Andres able to accept all these circumstances sincerely?
