Brielle, who was busy packing a few bouquets of flowers into a basket while crouching, was startled by the bells from the door as well as the boy's screech running towards her. "Mama!" the white-clothed boy shouted while raising his ice cream aloft, intending to show off.
"Bought already? Brought home, huh?" Elnathan. "Mama is still working, El is sitting inside" he added pointing to his dugout with Naomi with eye directions and head movements.
"Yes, Ma." Swiping the top of the child's head without standing, then continue the activity of arranging a bouquet of flowers into a basket. Elnathan, who said that, smiled broadly and licked the vanilla chocolate ice cream with pleasure, as he passed from Brielle.
While one employee there is serving customers at the cashier after serving the questions and desires of the buyer. Naomi who just came did not stay silent, besides trying to cover up the incident at the waffle and ice cream store, she had to accompany customers who had just entered the flower shop. Naomi tries to calm down by inviting her visitors to communicate and busy themselves with the female visitor next to her who looks at the collection of roses.
Brielle who did not feel any strangeness in Naomi also looked at her best friend with a casual look. He is focused on delivering flowers at this time. He himself will send to some of the addresses listed in the booking book. In addition to liking the outside or street atmosphere, Brielle does not want her customers to be disappointed if Naomi flower shop is less thorough. That's why he made sure that the order and the delivery hours were right. Starting this afternoon he departed, considering the address to which he was addressed was not small.
"I send now" whispered Brielle as she was behind Naomi, carrying a wicker basket in her right and left hand. Each basket was stacked at the waist because it was too big. The woman came out as Naomi smiled and encouraged, even telling Brielle to be careful on the road.
Since the employee-only motor used for the order was already outside the store, Brielle immediately put one of the sizable baskets on the back. The basket in his left hand was placed on the front. Both baskets were tied tight, then the woman climbed carefully because of enough difficulty wearing a canal when riding a motorcycle. Once the engine is turned on, Brielle adjusts the gas and starts the two-wheeled vehicle type matic road with moderate speed.
Brielle fad around the building around Naomi flower shop, especially curious about the ice cream shop Naomi had talked about. His best friend even invited him to eat there several times after closing the store, but he always refused. As soon as the bike was almost through to the store, he was ready to turn his head. Unexpectedly, there was a figure that made Brielle wide-eyed.
"What did I see that was real?!" he was very surprised when the motorbike he was driving passed right in front of the ice cream shop and waffles on the left side of the road. Looking at the tall male figure with firm jaws, the man had just walked out of the shop. "Why is he there?!" his shout was now only in the heart, even so a pair of eyes were still glaring.
Thinking positively, Brielle stroked her chest suddenly. "She could have a job there or just a lunch. But, did Naomi and El get to meet?!" Remember Leonathan just came out of the store. They could have met Leonathan. "But why isn't Naomi telling the story?" he murmured with a view that always focused on staring at the streets.
The incident that afternoon really made Brielle's chest pound. There was fear and unpreparedness in his heart as soon as the faces of Elnathan and Leonathan flashed by. Yes, he has not dared to and can introduce their biological children to men who have blood with Elnathan. "Before that happens, I have to end my relationship with you, Leonardo." Although he said full of determination, there was a sense of sadness and unwillingness because he had a love for Leonathan's younger brother. But if it continues, there is Naomi who was secretly injured and endured her grief all this time.
Evening arrived, at exactly seven o'clock five minutes Brielle was accompanying her son. Elnathan sat on Brielle's left side, playing his toy car on the table and taking a bribe from her mother. Brielle was also in the middle of dinner. Not only the two of them, beside Elnathan there was also Naomi who was busy eating a small plate of tart bread.
As soon as Elnathan took a bribe from her, Brielle stuffed a spoonful of fried rice into her mouth and watched Elnathan as he chewed. Looking briefly at him, the boy wearing a light blue t-shirt drawing a cartoon train movie asked, "Mama, El's school holiday tomorrow?"
Brielle who remembers for a moment what tomorrow is, then shook her head. "No, El is still in school. The day after tomorrow or the day is off, why?" her tan is gentle while commenting on a bright smile. "El want a quick vacation, huh? Let's play together for a walk, huh?" he added that made Naomi also chuckle, even though she was busy looking for a strategic place to build her flower shop business with Brielle.
"Mama," he called as he recalled the incident earlier this afternoon and Brielle wondered. "So, when El bought ice with Aunt Mi, El was carried by a handsome man, Mama." Hearing the impromptu confession of his son, Brielle who wanted to scoop rice owned by Elnathan did not become. Looking away, and the target of her gaze now was Naomi who also canceled the cake to her own mouth. "Tomorrow, if you go home from school ... El can buy more ice, Mama?" still with a cheerful expression. A happy twinkle surrounded the innocent and handsome face of this biological child.
"El spend the dinner first, yes .. tomorrow if the flower shop is quiet, El can go again with Aunt Mi buy ice cream again."
"El wants to buy ice with Mama" said the boy who did not wipe the happy look on his face. "Well, do you want to come, El?"
Brielle again set her eyes on Naomi who is now reaching for a clear glass filled with mineral water. While nodding, he kissed the top of Elnathan's head. "El dinner first, tomorrow seen tomorrow, dear. If you're not busy, we go get ice cream together."
"Yes!" scowl and pull Brielle's neck, pecking her mama's left cheek short. "Thank you, Mama!" Brielle responded by rubbing Elnathan's tanned hair. After that, it received a bribe that was already more than five times from Brielle.
"Did you meet Leonathan this afternoon?" brielle asked who did not cut off her eye contact from Naomi.
Hearing Leonathan's name being called, Elnathan screeched, "yes, Mama!" elnathan's head even supported the tiny lips, nodding. "The name om handsome is the same as the name El, Ma," said the boy again after swallowing his chew.
Brielle only smiled faintly, she even glanced at Naomi at a glance. "Let's eat El in the room, yeah. Mama wants El to go to bed early so she can exercise with Mama tomorrow."
"Yes, Mama! Ready it!"
Minutes passed, the clock showed seven hours and twenty minutes. Brielle, who had just taken Elnathan to the bedroom, was back in the kitchen. Naomi seemed to want to ask him. Right after Brielle sat down, the curly-haired woman raised her curiosity, "where did you know we both met her?"
"I saw him come out of that ice cream shop."
"Then what do you want after you find out? You want to separate Elnathan from Leonathan or bring them together and introduce each of them?" cerocos Naomi who was more curious, especially when capturing a sad expression as well as fretting from the face of her best friend.
"I want this to flow, if God really wants Elnathan to meet his biological father, what can I do?"
