The sound of applause was heard echoing in the Mezra cafe. It could even be said to be more thunderous than when the cafe singer had performed the song. White's voice and his guitar passages were able to hypnotize and invite admiration of almost everyone there. All eyes were on White, and a few others were looking towards Airi. The woman who sat while looking at her husband with teary eyes.
Although it was an old song, but because it was famous, many people who memorized and ended up singing, Ayleen was no exception. The 20-year-old girl dissolved in the atmosphere of martyrdom created by White.
For most of the song, Airi shed tears. Tonight felt so special, the universe seemed to support him and White created an unforgettable moment. He could only hope, if a moment like this would always be there again and again in his and White's story.
After the song was over, Ayleen came back to White. In his hand was a rose he took from his mother's plant on the upper floor. He gave the rose to White while whispering something.
Ayleen led White to Airi. And right in front of Airi, White knelt down. Of course with orders from Ayleen.
"Ai, will you age with me?"
Which woman doesn't melt, neither does Airi. Her tears did not stop flowing. And Ayleen, he went to the baper, shed tears. He who has not believed in love, finally tonight his eyes are wide open. Love exists, and love is real. A very beautiful young woman, married to a man with special needs, let alone why, if not love, Ayleen's inner self.
"Yes, I want to Bang."
"Festive applause immediately re-echoed. Some of the women who were there also shed tears. They could see how sincere Airi's love for White was. Only some people are willing to accept the lack of a partner, especially people with special needs. And the beautiful woman in front of them, proves that love does not need perfection.
Airi took the rose from White's hand, helped her get up and hugged her. The applause came back.
To make the atmosphere more alive, the band's vocalist sang the song as a perfect backsound. And all that was there, dissolved in that romantic moment.
I always dreamed about a beautiful old day with you
Keep your long hair beautiful even though it will not be black anymore
White kissed Airi's forehead. "I love you Ai."
"Water is also a Bang."
After a while, they sat back down. And Ayleen, he sat there and met Airi and White.
"Come here again sometime" Ayleen told White and Airi. "I'll give vocers a free meal here if you come again."
Airi smiled hearing that. "We'll definitely come again next time. We love this place, it's cozy and the atmosphere feels friendly, fitting as the name suggests."
"This place will always be a favorite place for both of you" continued White.
"Emm..." Ayleen cupped his own two cheeks, baper heard White's words just now. "I just found out that married people still know the term ngedate." Ayleen moved his finger like a quote.
"We never dated before we got married. So this is when we feel the moment of courtship, halal ngedate."
Ayleen wants to eat halal. He hoped that soon a white equestrian prince would come to propose to him.
"I'm happy to know someone like you" Ayleen then clasped Airi's hand on the table. "I look forward to your next arrival."
"Ai, do you know the flower shop on Arjuna Street? Juliet florist." -."
Deg
Airi's heart stopped beating hearing Juliet Florist's name. She may not know the store, and even during her college break, she will help Ryu there. Yes, Ryu is the son of the owner of Juliet Florist, a very famous florist in the area.
Airi biting her lower lip resisted the turmoil of feeling. No, not because it was still dear to Ryu, but because of the deep feelings of guilt in the man.
"Ai, shall we pass it later? I want to stop by there. I want to buy you flowers."
"Didn't you give me flowers?" Airi obviously didn't want to go there. He has no face to meet Ryu's parents or his sister.
White smiled. "That's Ayleen's gift, and only a suspect? I'd like to give you 100 sprigs of white roses."
This time, Airi could no longer hold back tears. The shadow of Ryu again disturbed his mind.
"You know Ai, from now on every month, I buy 20 white roses. But I didn't take it, I tipped it off with Mama. Hopefully when we get married later, I just need to add a little to collect 1000 stalks."
"Good God, I was just joking about 1000 roses on our wedding day." Airi did not think that her joke was taken seriously by Ryu.
"Joking or not, I just want to make all your dreams come true. Don't you want to be like the main character in your favorite comic, who got 1000 roses from her lover? I want to make it Ai."
"Ai, are you crying?"
White's question blew Airi's daydream. Soon she wiped her tears. Perhaps because he could not see, White's listeners became sharper, because those senses were what he relied on right now other than palpation.
"I-I'm just moved, Bang." White chuckled softly hearing it.
"Only 100 roses can make you cry. Looks like I'll have to add 1000 to make you crazy about me."
Airi smiled as well as cried. White really made her think more of Ryu.
"We stopped by Juliet Florist, right?"
"E...it looks like this clock is closing Bang."
"Well, what a pity. All right, we'll be there anytime."
Airi kept driving her car. As he was about to pass Juliet Florist, his heart thumped. There were a lot of memories between him and Ryu. For some reason, Airi even slowed down the speed of his car. His eyes turned towards Juliet Florist who seemed to have closed.
Airi's eyes widened when she saw the silhouette she was familiar with. Yeah, Ryu, that guy's in front of Juliet Florist.
Has Bang Ryu come home yet? Or I'm just hallucinating because he's been thinking about her.
