Beautiful Monster
Bouquet

"It's over?" her mother checked if her son was ready to go for graduation. Ignacia was already standing by the window and taking some photos in her graduation attire. "If it's over, why don't you get out? We've all been waiting in front."

"Are you all coming?" Ignacia lowered her phone, "why aren't you the only one who came? I'll be the only one to bring the whole family."

The graduation hall was already crowded when Ignacia came. Even Ignacia's friends Rananta and the others had already come and waited for him in front of the building. It is better to take pictures when they are all fresh. Because if taking pictures after the event, they must have been exhausted from sitting too long during the event.

A friend who was asked to help these ten friends took pictures. Because he was the only one in school, he came with a friend. He also prepared a small bouquet of flowers for his friends after the show was over.

"Thank you for coming" Aruna said.

"certain. I'm glad to see you guys graduation." Dianti pulled over for a while, checking the photos next to Aruna. He will send it after he gets home. "By the way I haven't seen Rajendra. He doesn't want to see Ignacia?" Aruna shrugged her shoulders not knowing.

"Why ask about that?"

"I saw Rajendra's father coming back from the outside quite early in the morning. I thought after bringing Rajendra here."

"Is that so? Come to think of it, Kemala and his classmates have come a lot. But maybe you misunderstood, Dianti. It could not have taken Rajendra. Lately Rajendra will definitely come if there is Ignacia."

Aruna chuckled at her own words. "They've really been in love lately. You know Nesya, that bespectacled friend of Ignacia? He had always been a mosquito in the midst of that kasmaran couple. Sometimes I look at it like I don't like people who are kasmaran. But I had no choice because the woman was her own friend."

"We also felt it when Junior High, Aruna. You recall? Sometimes Rajendra comes when we're gathered in front of my class. Rajendra's like always making sure Ignacia's okay and so on."

"Maybe that's why they can get to the age of four years of relationships. They've never broken up before. Some with couples I know."

"What are you talking about?" The Empress came, "Aruna, we must immediately occupy our seats so as not to jostle later." Maharani immediately picked up Utari after delivering a message and went to where they were supposed to be sitting. Leaving behind Aruna and Dianti who had yet to move.

On the other hand, Nesya was waiting for Ignacia. Their seats are not next to each other due to a considerable absent number. But at least Nesya sat behind Ignacia. Both can still communicate even if not as often as if sitting next to each other.

"Ignacia," Nesya raised one hand as a sign. Ignacia immediately walked in that direction.

"Have you come since?" Ignacia asked. Sit in front of a friend. His body is facing backwards.

"No, I just got here and sat down. I saw you were with your friends."

"Yes, we take a lot of pictures."

Ignacia's views were not focused on Nesya alone. Several times he took the opportunity to pay attention around looking for the whereabouts of someone. No wonder or protest. It's called diving while drinking water.

...*****...

"You saw Rajendra?" The mother asked. Whisper at the girl next to him. And the answer he got was just shoulder force not knowing. Athira mana noticed her brother's lover in the crowd of the graduation building. What he noticed more was his hair that he had not had time to check before leaving.

"You've been busy with your hair ever since. Why don't you help me find Rajendra's whereabouts?"

"Why don't you just ask your sister? The older brother who knows where Rajendra is, "Athira lowered the screen of her phone that serves as a mirror earlier, "after all why are you looking for Rajendra? Rajendra's senior class line is a long way from sister's class."

"Class sister in front there and behind her there are still Mipa classes 1 and 2. Mama's too far away to see it here."

"Mama just wants to see it. Mama likes to see people graduate." The reason his mother was a bit hard to believe.

Not far from there, Athira saw her father walking over. Just got back from the toilet. Athira hastily nudged the arms of his mother as code. Do not let his father put suspicion on his mother who seemed to look for the existence of someone. Moreover, this is her brother's graduation event that must be perfect.

...*****...

Ignacia looked at her phone screen several times. Check if there might be a message from Rajendra. But unfortunately nothing happened until Ignacia decided to turn off her phone temporarily until the event was over. It's better to be busy with his show than to wait for a man who is somewhere and what it is.

As with the usual graduation events, there will be several series of events that must be passed. Now it has arrived at

greeting by the principal. Ignacia was not listening. He had no attention whatsoever about the long speech of the headmaster.

"Ignacia, you want to?" A friend offered her a fruit-flavored candy. "You look weak when this is still not the peak of the show. You okay?"

"Why you?" Nesya leaned against Ignacia in order to notice Ignacia's exhausted face more clearly. "Are you okay, Ignacia? Shall I call your parents now?"

"Don't make a fuss. I'm just not excited right now. I'm fine, "prevent Ignacia seriously. His heart was weak and it had an effect on his current body condition.

Ignacia was quite impressed with someone who gave a welcome after the principal. There is a student guardian representative who will give a welcome. And the student's guardian representative is the mother of a friend in her class.

...*****...

"That's a photo out there?" Someone behind Kemala asked. Make the one who is looking at the results of the photos on his camera. Even those who felt questioned nodded without looking. Someone behind him is really pockmarked.

"Why didn't I see you guys outside? Did I miss it?" The man asked back.

"Yes, you missed it because you were busy with your own bouquet of flowers. By the way, you seem to be wanted by him. Why didn't you call so he wouldn't look? You're so fucking on her."

"If I say it, I won't be able to surprise her."

"You and your surprise, young man?" Laughing approached his own words. And that made someone who had been closer to seeing the photos in his camera start staring strangely.

...*****...

The next session was the delivery of the impression message by the graduation representative. Called this time... Empress. Ignacia's best friend was in a class with Utari. No wonder the Maharani was called. He's a smart student from the Mipa 2 class who never makes trouble and achieves.

"I want to be like Maharani on my graduation day. Being a representative is something to be proud of." Nesya whispered next to Ignacia's ear. Not yet entered the lecture, Nesya had planned to be a representative at the graduation.

"After the show is over, you'll see Rajendra? Have you taken a picture with him? A day like this only exists once in a lifetime, Ignacia. Because we'll only graduate high school after we finish High School."

"Yes, it should be."

"I brought my father's kemera. I'll take a picture of you later. I hope you guys enjoyed the last time well." Why is Nesya acting like this now? It was as if he knew if Ignacia and Rajendra would be far enough away.

...*****...

The full student graduation procession takes place after the reading of the student pledge. The first Aruna class was followed by the Ignacian class. Her eyes were too afraid to look at the Mipa class that was behind. Though there will be no one who can prevent him from looking for the existence of Rajendra.

"Ignacia," rebuked the friend who was standing behind Ignacia. The girl was too busy staring downwards to realize that the line in front of her had almost disappeared. Shame came, Ignacia smiled awkwardly until it was her turn.

"Why were you daydreaming?" Nesya asked.

"I want to look back to look for Rajendra. I kept thinking about it until I was unconscious." Clearly Ignacia was timidly. He should have remembered that this place was visited by more than 500 people.

Ignacia turned on her phone again. Distract from his deep shame. Luckily no one saw the typical flushed face of Ignacia. People don't talk about it, but Ignacia is sure her friends see what she's doing.

New Message from Rajendra ⁇ ◝ ⁇ ◜ ⁇

Ignacia, let's meet after the show is over

Can you do it? I want to take a picture with you

Apparently this man remembered to send her a message. Ignacia replied briefly then ignored her phone again. Now all you have to do is make Ignacia look charming to stay good when taking pictures with Rajendra later.

Starting from hair, clothes, headdresses as well. Then both parents will give you a bouquet of flowers later. It will be a good photo property. Does Ignacia have to find a good pose for later? At least he will have the preparations before taking the picture.

...*****...

"It's a flower for sister." Athira gave a large bouquet of flowers to her brother. This was the result of a portion of the treasures he had other than paint, brushes, and canvas.

"Let's take your picture." Her four children positioned themselves for the photo. Arvin took hold of his brother's bouquet of flowers, Rafka positioned himself in front of Athira who was beside the graduation. The photos look adorable.

"Thank you for the bouquet" said Ignacia timidly.

"of course. Ignacia..."

Mama Ignacia was embracing the shoulder she was on graduation. Like there's a code for Athira from the mama. Athira suddenly asked her father to accompany her to buy a drink. It just so happened that the drinking they got from today's event was up. Then after that Arvin and Rafka asked to be accompanied to the toilet.

"...do you not want to take a picture with Rajendra? Mama will take your pictures together. When else can you take pictures with graduation clothes. Let's call him and get mama a photo."

Ignacia's face heated up instantly. His heart was beating so fast as if he had just run a marathon. Her mother loved making her feel weird. Ignacia has already sent a message about her position to Rajendra. But the man just read without replying.

"Rajendra probably wouldn't have come if you were still here. I can show you the results after taking a picture. Why would you want to see it too?"

"Why not? Mama's been dating, too, so she knows what lovers like you do. Do you have to stay away for a while and see you guys from a distance?"

"I like that idea. What if Mom makes sure you don't come back soon? I'll finish this soon and look for you later," Ignacia stared pleading, "please don't make Rajendra nervous."

Mama Ignacia agreed. Stare seductively at the first child before actually leaving. Sending a message to her husband about her position and holding back as much as possible from finding Ignacia taking a picture with a man of her liking.

Ignacia checked the phone, finding nothing but her message that was read only. Was Rajendra so busy with his friends that he didn't get to see him? Nesya was also with her friends who came from another school.

This girl with brown eyes has not been able to find someone to look for. His heart became heavy until it involuntarily exhaled a long breath. Still carrying her bouquet of flowers, Ignacia stared at her own shoes. Kick small pebbles to relieve boredom.

"Where is he? Why didn't he return my message? Did he forget to ask me to meet?" Ignacia.

The girl looked at someone who seemed to be walking closer through the corner of her eyes. As he turned his head, there was suddenly a bouquet of flowers blocking Ignacia's view to see who was coming. Ignacia almost staggered back in surprise.

Despite not knowing who this was, Ignacia had one person she thought of. His clothes are like men. His body was as tall as the person he was thinking of. And it looks like Rajendra has a chance to do this.

"Rajendra, is that you?" Ignacia would make sure, but the man tried to cover up Ignacia's gaze so as not to see her face. "Hey come on, I know if it's you. How could I have mistaken my own lover."

"Hehe, I'm caught." Rajendra appeared. Smile broadly while offering a bouquet of flowers. "This is for you, Ignacia. Congratulations on your graduation, beautiful."

"Hey what are you saying?" Ignacia wavers when Rajendra praises her. His hand was taken to receive the bouquet of flowers that he was carrying. Ignacia was carrying two bouquets of flowers right now. Meanwhile Rajendra also brought a bouquet of flowers for himself. "Thank you for the flowers."

"Ignacia!" Some people called his name. His nine friends made people's attention now on him. Ignacia had to hide her face with a bouquet of flowers because of this commotion.

"We brought a camera," Aruna promoted. It just so happens that many of them carry cameras. Raising their cameras, they stared at Ignacia, intending to tease the girl.

Rajendra pulled the girl's waist closer. The code for his friends immediately took pictures of these lovers. "Smile, it's our graduation day" Rajendra whispered right next to the girl's ear.

Covering his face Ignacia turned, "my parents are still here, Rajendra. What if they find us in a position like this? Isn't this too close?"

Rajendra brought his face closer, both behind a bouquet of flowers. "Then we better quickly finish this and give it the right distance. Right so?" Rajendra gave the best smile.

Making Ignacia's face blush instantly.
