"Anged?" daniel asked, glancing at Alia next to him.
Alia turned her head, but then looked back straight ahead. Choose not to answer. He was more quiet than usual. But he himself did not understand how to explain the situation. He should have been very upset at Daniel who pulled him suddenly. However, what should have happened had no impact. Alia was ordinary.
Alia was more spent thinking. When Daniel asks and he doesn't answer, it doesn't mean he's really angry. Alia was just thinking about the answer to the question itself.
Dizzying.
Alia shook her head slowly and leaned back in the car seat. Recalling what happened a few minutes ago.
Alia must admit, she had hoped to really like Kevin. The kiss had made him feel like he was electrocuted and his heart was pounding. But after that, it was completely empty. Alia no longer felt anything. In fact he felt a hint of anger at the sassiness that the man was doing. Luckily Kevin anticipated and apologized first. Alia was also grateful that Daniel had pulled her from that place so there was no need to face the awkward situation that could happen. Perhaps that was also what made Alia unable to get angry at him.
"Where is this going?" ask Alia astonished. He had not been through this path before. "Will it go through the path?"
Daniel glanced at Alia, quietly sighing in relief. He was worried that Alia would keep quiet until home. If that happens, then it means that the woman's anger is already in the second stage.
The first stage, of course when Alia was actually going berserk. If this happens, it could be over in a few hours. The second stage is when Alia keeps quiet and speaks only in urgent need only. The longest three days Alia had ever been angry at Daniel at this stage. At that time Daniel was late to go home, even though the time to go home from school was many hours ago. He remembered Alia almost crying out of worry when Daniel arrived at the front of the house. Alia gets angry when she finds out Daniel's delay for trying to find a side job to help their condition at that time.
Daniel shuddered a little every time he remembered it. The usually cheerful Alia became quiet for three whole days. The third stage was clearly more terrifying. But that only happened once when Alia was not even willing to look at her parents back then. Yes, it only happens once when their parents are still around. Alia had never been so angry until now.
"There is a celebration of the anniversary of Central City this afternoon in the square. We're going there to look around. Does Brother mind?"
Alia was still looking ahead, thinking about the offer. "Looks fun. Brother does not refuse."
Daniel becomes more inspired after seeing the corner of Alia's lips that begin to lift.
"There's a bazar there."
"Much food?" Alia looked over, instantly interested.
"Food, drink, games, clothes, everything. Today in the square was very crowded," explained Daniel, feeling managed to lure Alia after seeing her eyes sparkle. "They also have a main event that is no less interesting."
"What?" Alia actually sat up straight and enthusiastically heard the continuation.
"Secret." Daniel laughed a little.
Alia snorted in annoyance. Even so, he was quite enthusiastic about this celebration. Several times there were celebrations like this also in the Western City, but Alia never had time to come to him because she had to work. Even if it was a holiday though, he would spend his time to rest the body even though Alia would rather go there.
You could say, going to this celebration makes Alia more happy than to any shopping center.
"Gee, the crowds have started here." Alia stared to the side as she entered the square.
Daniel watched the road, looking for a place to park his car. He tried to do it quickly after seeing Alia's expression as if she was about to jump out at this very moment.
"Don't open the door"
"What else? Already, don't go overboard. Brother can get out on his own" said Alia who directly got out of the car without waiting.
Daniel sighed, finally following Alia who solemnly left him far ahead.
"Good afternoon, beautiful sister. Does your pretty sister want to buy flowers?" A boy approached Alia. His hand carried a basket of flowers and some balloon ties.
Alia smiled warmly, rubbing the child's head. "You sell how many flowers are you?"
The boy raised his five fingers while smiling happily. "Five thousand only. My mom planted these roses herself and pruned them so they could grow back to be more beautiful. I wrapped it and tidied it up. It's not as good as what's sold on the market, but it's also cheaper."
"This is already very good. You're talented. Does your mama know you're selling these flowers?" ask Alia again.
The boy nodded. "Mom knows I'm selling balloons. But I didn't know I was carrying these flowers either. It's shock. Usually, you just throw the flowers away. I want to prove that this is still useful."
Alia laughed a little. "Son't buy your flowers then."
The boy's face was immediately happy. "really? My beautiful sister became my first buyer. No one has responded to me since. Sorry, I keep telling stories. Brother want how many stalks?"
"Two. Ah, three saj-"
Alia and the boy both looked up in surprise. Daniel was among them.
"Se-all? But I have twelve stalks here." The boy was immediately nervous, not daring to look at Daniel.
"Yes." Yeah." Daniel took out three pieces of the loan. "Is this enough?"
The boy's eyes widened. "No-no, it's a lot of advantages. Just one sheet, I don't have any change. I'll trade for a minute."
"no need. Just give me all the flowers" Daniel refused.
The boy quickly handed over all the flowers and the basket. His hands trembled slightly as he received the money from Daniel. "Then I give you all my balloons."
Daniel just nodded slightly, letting the boy do as he pleased. The balloons were received by Alia who was confused.
"Thank you, my brothers have helped me a lot. Beautiful Brother must be happy to have Handsome Brother as a lover. May your relationship last forever, yes. I'll go home, goodbye," said the boy.
Alia waved, not having time to correct the misunderstanding of the boy who had run home happily.
"Where does he know the term grown-up." Alia muttered little. He then flipped his body. "Well, look at this Philanthropist. Just came in, already spent a lot of money. You even forgot your check paper, just now. You're arrogant."
"Don't you like me buying this?" daniel asked expressionlessly.
Alia smiled faintly. "Of course I like. It's just, it's too much."
Daniel did not care about the protest. He picked up a flower and approached Alia and gave her a flower. "Sister, let's go on a date with me."
The new Alia would take the flower to a standstill. "meaning?"
"Today, let's go on a date." Daniel lifted the basket with eleven flowers. "If you accept, take all the flowers. If you refuse, take one flower."
Alia was a little flabbergasted. Daniel who looked very serious kept her entertained. Alia then laughed a little. "That's it. What strange date could happen like this?"
Alia took the flower that Daniel offered. He swapped the balloon in his hand for the flower.
Daniel tried to contain his disappointment. He had expected that Alia would reject him. But her heart almost stopped beating as Alia took another basket in her hand and put one of her flowers there.
Alia then turned around and walked first. Leaving Daniel who still had not mastered his shock.
"Hey Daniel! Don't you want to come? He said he wanted a date!" alia from a distance.
Daniel regained his control when he heard the call. His feet stepped wide, catching up to Alia quickly. Daniel covered the wide smile that formed on his lips with one hand.
'be mine.'
About that is the meaning of the twelve roses that Daniel gave to Alia. The woman accepted everything lightly, even accepting her offer of dating today, although Alia was more likely not to have the same intentions as Daniel.
Daniel did not intend to explain the meaning of the twelve flower stalks. Letting Alia stay carefree with what she doesn't know.
"Because I'm dating, can I just call Alia?" daniel asked carefully after successfully matching Alia's steps.
Alia squinted her eyes, looking at Daniel suspiciously. "Are you doing this on purpose to have a reason to get rid of that honor call?"
"Huh, honor call," cried Daniel. "Not like that either. Just for now. Can it or not?"
Alia thought for longer. It looks like we are considering something very complicated. "Just for now."
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Just a few steps along, Alia's flower stalks had been reduced. Balloons too. Alia shared it with some passers-by.
Daniel smiled faintly.
Alia is Alia.
