The Marriage Pursuit.
182. Farfalla.

HAPPY READING'S...

***

The morning when Tiara woke up with her eyes rubbed, she accidentally saw the figure of a man who stood staring far ahead from the balcony of the apartment.

Tiara seemed to bewitched until without realizing it, she stood watching the man from a considerable distance. Seeing the back of Galih wrapped in pajamas made of thin to slightly show the curves of his sturdy back.

What the hell is he doing? inner Tiara. Today is sunday. Automatic Galih does not go to work and usually the man will wake up a little more during the day than a normal day.

Out of curiosity, Tiara walked up to the man. Step by step he took while looking at Galih who was focusing on an object.

After such a close distance, Tiara understood. It turned out that Galih was observing a rose growing in a pot of ceramics in the corner of the balcony.

On the flower petals, there was a butterfly perched. Looks beautiful because occasionally flapping both wings are yellow.

In fact, the little creature was able to spoil the eyes of anyone who saw it, including Tiara. The girl also rounded her eyes watching the butterfly. Unaware that Galih had turned his eyes to look at Tiara.

"Beautiful right?" ask Galih.

"Huh?" at once Tiara was surprised and looked at Galih. The sight they met made something in the chest feel stalled.

Is beautiful? who's? inner Tiara.

Not too confident, but in fact Galih did say a beautiful word while looking at Tiara.

And not only Tiara, all women will also think the same if in the face of Galih like that.

"Farfall...".

Tiara was getting more and more clueless about what Galih said. Who's Farfalla?

"In Italian, Farfalla is a butterfly" Galih explained.

"What do you like?" ask Tiara. It's a little weird if a guy likes butterflies. Because the small winged animal is usually a favorite animal of women.

"Hm, not just me. There are other men who also like butterflies." replied Galih.

The man I mean is Dion. They both love butterflies. Especially the blue one with the black pattern.

"Why?" tiara asked curiously. Why do they like butterflies? though there were millions of other animals they could see, as Tiara's heart spoke.

"Why what? I don't like it for a reason, do I?" said Galih and immediately made Tiara misbehave.

The girl's heart stopped beating as Galih said that. In the next second, his heart beat raced fast. Especially with a small smile on the corner of Galih's lips that made Tiara like a bewitch.

Inexplicably, Galih's smile that doesn't always look makes Tiara like it. And made her want to see that smile all the time.

"Be-nar.." replied Tiara nervously.

What else could he do besides justifying Galih's words.

"But there's one thing that makes me love butterflies, want to know?" ask Galih. It looks normal but strange to Tiara. Because of the nature of Galih who is silent, indifferent and does not care about anything, it looks like a face for Tiara. Because from the beginning it was like that figure of Galih.

Closed in all things.

But this morning, the man looked engrossed in storytelling. Opening up to Tiara.

"Hm," Tiara replied nodding in agreement.

"Lo tau, butterflies have an important phase in their lives. Butterflies were once something very disgusting before they became beautiful." - Galih. While Tiara still did not understand what the man said.

"Before becoming beautiful with her powerful wings, she was once in a very bad phase... Caterpillars. When becoming a caterpillar, everyone will surely hate it....Didn't even hesitate to kill him....also with other animals that put it on the food list.... right?".

Tiara understood a little. I'm also disgusted to see caterpillars...

"But as time goes by, when the caterpillar has turned into a cocoon no one cares... and now look.. when she has become beautiful, everyone praises her.

That's what Galih can learn from butterflies. For him the butterfly is a symbol of achievement in life.

A journey full of struggle. Same is the case with humans who also experience ups and downs in life. There are falls, failures, and obstacles that stand in the way. But one day, there will be a ladder of success.

And the butterfly wings symbolize the peak of success.

Tiara gaped at the words of Galih just now. He did not expect that Galih could describe something so beautifully.

"They will enjoy the beautiful form of butterflies." said Galih ended his sentence.

"So that's why you like butterflies? and what makes you liken yourself to a butterfly, Lo's life is so perfect.Having a caring family, such a kind sister and a pretty peaceful environment.." Tiara protested.

That's what he saw in Galih's life. A man who has nothing without flaws.

"Who said?" galih. He also had bad things happen in his life.

Instead of feeling alone, left out and not cared at all.

"Sit down. I'm telling you a story," said Galih.

And in the end the man sat on a bench that was on the balcony. "Do you want me to stand on my lap?" goda. Making Tiara surprised as well as opening her mouth in disbelief.

How not? this was the first time that seduction came out in the man's mouth. Because the usual came out only curses and insignificant chirps that often make Tiara upset.

Tiara was misbehaved and immediately sat down beside Galih. It's not scary if he sits on the man's lap?

"Maybe you will be surprised to hear my story." said Galih reminiscing about his dark times.

While Tiara seemed to focus on listening without saying anything.

Perhaps this is the first time that Galih and Tiara have been seen as normal human beings sharing stories.

This is also the first time that Galih has shared his past with anyone else, because all he knows about what happened to him is Dion and Arjun.

"Pathetic isn't it?" galih laughed at his stupidity first. Where he loved a woman so much that he even destroyed himself by being entangled in drugs.

"No.." refused Tiara. "Lo's not stupid...".

Of course what Tiara said just now was able to make Galih stare at the girl for quite a while. But for Galih, his former self was very stupid.

Everyone has flaws in them, right? inner Tiara.

"Because when we love someone, we'll do anything to keep them with us, right?" ask Tiara. It was like that too. Loving someone is more than loving God.

And as it seemed, the man could not trust Tiara until all Tiara had swallowed was disappointment.

"Including by hurting ourselves...".

Galih. Realizing that he and Tiara also had a dark time in their lives.

"So, she's your ex-lover? the woman that night?" ask Tiara.

Because at that time he knew, how the attitude of Galih to the woman they stood in front of the Galih Apartment. There is a feeling of love mixed with disappointment alone.

"Hm" answered Galih briefly.

"Why not try again?" ask Tiara.

"Why? repeating to fall in the same hole?", Galih asked.

If he re-establishes a relationship with Alya, it means that Galih is ready to be disappointed a second time. And only a stupid man would do that.

As deep as what feelings Galih gave Alya, did not make Alya can arbitrarily attract Galih's feelings. Because Galih alone can determine his own happiness.

"Why don't you go back to your ex-lover who cheated on you?" galih Protest. Because Tiara can do that too, right?

"No," Tiara replied firmly. Making Galih smile as well.

"I told him that we were getting married, didn't I?" seduce Galih while raising her eyebrows together. Increasingly makes Tiara wrong behavior in his making.

"Don't joke!" tiara protest threw her gaze in another direction. Because staring at Galih really makes his heart feel strange.

"If I'm serious?" ask Galih.

Ha's?

Tiara turned her head back to observe Galih again. It was the man's words that sounded ambiguous.

What the hell? why does the atmosphere feel so strange...

For a moment both of them were petrified. Galih slowly approached the girl sitting beside him. His hand swayed to reach for something even to the point of making Tiara even more nervous and even closing her eyes.

"Lo's cheeks are red." said Galih stroking Tiara's cheeks with his thumb.

Crazy...

Tiara was astonished, Galih was able to make her feelings mixed like this.

Did he close his eyes thinking I was going to kiss him? hahah.

"Tiara.. would you like to see butterflies?" ask Galih.

***

Remember Arjun said the other day in Part 180 that Galih had his own Butterfly? haha....

Travelling is not my mind???

May syuka...
