Between You and Your Father
Chapter 24 Sweet Surprise for Vivianne

Armed with an internet search Andrew began to launch the action. She looked for various needs, ranging from roses, because she said every woman must love flowers, especially red roses that are said to symbolize love. 

He also bought other necessities such as candles, cards, even he did not forget to buy some small gifts for Vivianne. Just this time he was troubling for the sake of a girl. And that girl is Vivianne. And again, when it was his birthday. Which should be given a surprise but instead he will give a surprise!. He may be the only man to surprise others on his birthday! Andrew did not care, for him the most important thing Vivi was not angry and could forgive him.

Andrew had prepared everything including a candle light dinner at a table and two dining chairs that he transformed into a very romantic. Andrew smiled, he had planned everything, including to ban his best friend from coming who wanted to celebrate his birthday to the apartment on the grounds that he wanted to rest faster.

By removing the sweat on her forehead she made a card and slipped it under Vivianne's bedroom door. He was sure that sooner or later Vivianne would definitely leave the room. And slowly tapped into Vivianne's room.

Geck!

Geck!

And without waiting for an answer from Vivianne Andrew left Vivianne's room. Stay away according to plan.

Meanwhile, Vivianne who was in the room was preparing to go to work, at a star hotel as a cleaner and also help at the restaurant where the hotel is.

Vivianne heard a knock outside her room but she was lazy to open it. He knew it was Andrew, and he didn't want to see him. When the knock was inaudible and the step was getting away, Vivianne just moved towards the door.

But his steps came to a halt when he stepped on something, he lowered his head to pick up something on his feet. " A card?"

Slowly opening the card, quite short but made him frown, "Please find Me!"

Curiously, Vivianne intended to ask Andrew directly, "What does that mean? Found her? Where is Andrew?Didn't he just knock on his bedroom door? Is he gone, huh?"

But he finally opened the door of his room after previously had a moment to think. 

When he opened the door slowly he was shocked, the room was very dark. And what made her even more surprised was that, along the door of her room was scattered roses on her left and right side and among them there were some large candles that lit the way from her room, Vivi still closed her mouth, she said, but he followed the path along the red rose aided by candlelight. After a few steps, he found a card. Taken and opened it, "I know.." Vivianne's forehead shriveled full of question marks. Vivianne stepped back. He rediscovered a card. The opening of the card read, "That I Am.." Vivianne curiously continued her steps. The next card he rediscovered had a short caption, "Stupid!"

Vivianne started thinking, "I know that I am stupid?" vivianne.

Vivianne again stepped up and again found the card reopened and read, "So, please…". Vivianne stepped back as it seemed like a flower arrangement and candles were pointing towards the swimming pool in the apartment. Finally the fifth card was found. Opened and read "Forgive me.…"  If summarized everything into a pretty beautiful sentence, "I know that I'm stupid.So, Please Forgive Me!" 

Vivianne was speechless, she was moved at this moment, and at the end was a writing beside the pool near a wall that read, "Sorry". But he didn't find Andrew's whereabouts, but he found a big enough box on top of it, with a big enough caption, "Open Me". 

Vivianne smiled, maybe Andrew left but she left this all to herself. The opening of a very large gift with the pull of the ribbon. Suddenly the gift opened and..

" Surprise!" 

Appearing Andrew from the inside so big, Vivianne almost toppled back so shocked.

Andrew appeared with a cake that read "Sorry" and a lighted candle. Vivi gawked for a while.

Andrew took a breath and threw it away slowly, "Are you still long silent like that? Don't you want to help me, bring this cake?Hmm, my legs don't seem strong enough to stand for too long, moreover I was a little crouching inside this box, It's quite tiring..At least if you can't forgive me yet, if you don't mind. May I sit down first?"

Vivi blinked her eyes. His eyes are starting to look glass now. Her tears are about to spill. He took the cake that Andrew held in his hand and put it on a table not far from there. It was transformed into an impromptu dining room with two chairs and candles and two dishes of food. There was a bouquet of flowers there as well and a small box that he didn't know what.

 Vivianne turned to look at Andrew. Without saying, he asked, "This is for me?"

Andrew said, "Yes, for you!" 

Vivianne ran towards Andrew and hugged him tightly, "Thank You!" and started crying haru.

They hugged him long enough, until Andrew spoke slowly. " I'm sorry, I think I'm too jealous, I'm jealous to see the closeness of you and Bryan, making me unable to think clearly! Sorry for hurting your heart! Sorry for being rude to you too, sorry for making the cake you brought broken! I'm sorry to have scolded her earlier.and I'm sorry.." Andrew was about to say it back but, Vivi stopped him.

" stop! Enough, Andrew! Can we eat? The food there is appetizing! I'm so hungry!"'Vivianne.

Vivianne instead walked cutely and sat at a table that was transformed into their candle light dinner. Vivienne pulled out her chair.

" Hmm, depends!" vivi said casually.

" huh? Depends? Depends what? Please Vi, I'm sorry! I got this dizzy making all this for you! I even searched the internet for this. All my life, I've only done it for the first time!" said Andrew walking slowly with his crutches.

Vivi looked at him casually, "Are you?" 

Andrew got closer, and finally pulled the chair in front of Vivi. " right! Even the concept is that I thought of myself. My head is gonna break this!"

" Just want to, right? But not yet, right?" vivi said casually.

" You mean? You're happy, yeah, to see me suffer? Being haunted by guilt is really bad! So, Please Vi, Forgive me! I promise I won't do it again! I'm promise!" said Andrew while showing both index and middle fingers form the letter V.

" Really?" vivi said, looking at Andrew.

Andrew nodded for sure.  " Yes!" 

Vivianne smiled, Andrew was now staring at Vivianne's sweet smile.

Until that soft voice again obliterated his daydream. " Ok! Then eat yuk? I'm so hungry!"

" So, you're really sorry about me?" ask Andrew to make sure.

" Yes!" Vivianne answered briefly.

" Thanks God!" Then stop taking Vivianne's fingers and kiss her gently and Andrew returns upright while handing her flowers and a gift to Vivi. " For you! Hope you like it!" said Andrew.

" For me? It's your birthday, Andrew! I should have given you a gift! Not you! Sorry, huh? I don't even have anything for you." Vivianne looked down sad.

" ye! I didn't ask for any gifts, kok! For me you're by my side helping me who's sick and forgiving me, that's more than a gift to me!" andrew said as she hugged Vivianne again. Vivianne was moved speechlessly, but her tears spilled again. Today he spilled it easily. Last afternoon wept for sadness, now weep for haru.

" I put up ya?" Andrew opened the box and showed it to a white gold necklace with a pendulum shaped love.

Andrew put it on Vivianne's neckline. Vivianne stared in amazement "Good."

" Beautiful!"'answer Andrew.

" Huh?" Vivianne's confused.

" I said you're beautiful!"

" Oh, thanks." Vivi bowed shyly.

Andrew smiled, Vivi is adorable if she is embarrassed like this. Unable to resist his desire, Andrew drew closer to Vivianne raising his face and began to kiss her.

Time suddenly seemed to stop, they dissolved in happiness and relief. These feet kiss them soft and intoxicating.

Until.finally…

" Drew! How's your apartment, lights out, all right?"
