OLD LOVE REUNITED
THE CLBK 93

The day is getting more and more daytime when everyone is busy with their respective activities. The husbands have gone to work since breakfast, including Aldo. While the wives are still busy in the kitchen to make some kind of cake to give to those who are busy readying the room that will be used for the engagement of Bryan and Gita.

Bryan and Gita are out shooting. Although Gita initially refuses, Bryan continues to force and eventually Gita agrees.

In a large and spacious room, Karin took care of the people who were arranging the room as well as possible and in accordance with the wishes of the Gita. While Karin was instructing one of them to move the urn to another place she accidentally looked at Andre and a woman whom Karin knew was Dahlia.

Andre and Dahlia were busy arranging colorful flowers. It was not strange, but Karin caught a sad expression from Dahlia's face. Karin also saw several times Andre invited Dahlia to speak but only responded by Dahlia. Whereas yesterday Karin knew, Dahlia was a chatty person. But since breakfast, the veiled young girl has rarely spoken.

"Non, what else?" Ask someone who has already moved the jar.

"You have the table and the chair ready. Wrap with white fabric. Invite your friends as well" Karin replied then left the person after the person nodded his head.

Karin walked closer to Dahlia and Andre who were sitting on a mat. Beside them there are many flowers that will later be assembled into one. The flower arrangement will be used as a table decoration. Actually for the class of Bryan and Gita can directly order to the florist without having to arrange themselves. But at Bryan's request, they only ordered the flowers and the ones who would string were his men.

"Dahlia why the hell?" Tanya Andre put down the flower arrangement she had just made.

Dahlia turned her head then shook her head.

"I know, you must be sad because you saw non Gita and non Karin in the bribe by her Mama right?" Andre asked stared intensely at Dahlia.

Dahlia put the new flower in the chain. Then he looked at Andre. Meanwhile, Karin who was close immediately stopped when she heard what Andre said. I don't know why Karin was so curious as to what Dahlia's answer was.

"Dahlia, we're the same. Both came from orphanages. From childhood I have also never felt the affection of parents, especially mothers." Andre looked at Dahlia. Dahlia looked into Andre's eyes, and there was sadness.

"Until I meet Mr. Bryan, and then I can feel a little affection from the mother of Lana's mistress" Andre continued.

"How does it feel to be noticed by your mother? I really never felt it. Mother has many children to watch. While I was the biggest. So I can't if I have to indulge in motherhood" Dahlia said in a hoarse voice.

Karin who was not far from them felt pierced. Yesterday he was angry with his mother. Now he hears that some have never felt the affection of a mother. Karin was glued to her place and wanted to hear more of what Andre and Dahlia would talk about.

"You got a job?" Ask Madam Indri to Santi who is busy drawing on paper.

"No Ma, just another picture of the client's order." Answer Santi. "why?" Ask later.

"Follow Mama yuk" invited the Mama to sit next to Santi.

"Where?" Santi asked him to put down the pencil he was using.

"To the mall, Mama wants to buy a gift for Gita's engagement" replied the mother.

Hearing that Santi who was originally staring at the Mama immediately turned her face.

"If you don't want to let Mama alone. It's okay" said the Mama touching Santi's hand.

Santi smiled thinly and then took care of the paper and the tools he used to draw.

Madam Indri smiled and nodded her head.

"Take this to Ma's room first, all of you want to look at Tina" said Santi brought his equipment to the room.

Arriving at the room apparently Tina had woken up from her sleep and was playing alone. The tiny baby laughed as the toy, which was just above his face, made a noise when touched by his hand.

"Darling... It's awake apparently" said Santi approached Tina who was in her box.

Tina's smile widened when she saw Santi's face coming closer to her face. He hugged Santi's cheeks and laughed cheerfully. Santi lifted Tina from the box and carried her.

"You want to take Tina?" Ask the mother who just entered her room.

"Yes Ma.. This Santi wants to prepare Tina's equipment" he replied.

"Here let Tina Mama carry" said the mother took over Tina.

"The grandson of Oma" said Madam Indri holding the hand of Tina who patted her cheek. "Yes up..." Further.

Tina laughed as Madam Indri put her face on Tina's chest making the baby feel amused and laugh. Santi who was preparing Tina's equipment saw that, there was gratitude in her heart. He has set his heart to change. He'll try to apologize to Gita.

"Udah Ma, let's go" said Santi.

They then got out of the room and headed for the car garage.

"Dahlia!" Call Karin to Dahlia.

Dahlia who was busy arranging flowers with Andre turned to Karin who was walking towards them with a smile.

"Why mbak?" Ask Dahlia.

"Can you come with me for a second?" Ask Karin. He glanced at Andre, Andre just frowned not understanding.

"Bby mbak... Where ya?" Tanya Dahlia put down the flower arrangement she had finished working on.

"Yuk" asked Karin without answering Dahlia's question.

Dahlia turned to Andre, then stood following Karin who had walked first.

As Dahlia walked, something fell out of her pocket. Andre who saw it immediately took and when he wanted to call Dahlia but Dahlia had already walked far and was seen chatting with Karin. Finally Andre saw and his expression immediately changed when he knew what had just fallen from Dahlia's pocket.

"It's worth it that he's sad, it turns out...." Andre said seeing Dahlia who was smiling and chatting with Karin.
