“El, do I have an important schedule tomorrow?”
“No, Young master. But there's only a dinner invitation from Mr. Keenan, seven o'clock at the Star restaurant. Do you want to attend?”
Zean seemed to think for a moment, considering that today was the day of his wife's graduation and he could not attend this afternoon.
“What if you replace me?”
The twenty-five-year-old man exhaled for a moment. “Alright ... as your request, Mr.”
Zean patted his cousin on the shoulder, realizing it was too much trouble for the man who had accompanied him since childhood. “Thank you very much, El.”
Elo just smiled, inevitably he could only please his sister. Sacrificing a lot for Zean is common.
Walk back to Pratama Group, after discussing the project with a client at one of the restaurants. The days were so busy that it did not feel almost three weeks did not meet his wife.
“I want to go home early, El. Can you take care of it?” Still talking, waiting for the elevator door to open.
“No to today, Sir. Big master already told you to finish today's business if you want free tomorrow.”
Zean only gave a rude snort, he clucked bitterly at his father's orders. Dizziness, since returning to the family company, feels endless work.
Even draining her time and energy, she rarely communicated with Sally. Because they are too tired, messages are rarely answered. I can only joke when I go to sleep, it's only a few minutes. More Zeans fall asleep first when making calls or video calls.
The clock is pointing at seven o'clock. Zean and Elo immediately packed up, preparing to go home to rest a tired body. “El, I'm going to my wife's house. Thank you for taking care of tomorrow's business. I think today's the last day of work in the office that's piled up. Tomorrow you can be more relaxed even if there is no me.”
Elo just nodded, confirming Zean's words. Not in vain, his cousin's sister returned at the right time. The work that seemed not to be finished before the new year, now it is done. Just enjoying the new year off. Uhuy .. Elo felt like cheering then and there.
Get out of the elevator, and set foot on the ground floor. Passing through the company lobby that has begun to be quiet, because it is normal working hours only until five pm. If molor well .. at most only until six or half seven.
The two brothers separated in the parking lot. Immediately drove by car and each destination. Return to the apartment for a Delon Bagaskara, and destination to town A for Zean.
Still calmly, even forgetting to check the phone. Because Zean thought, Sally must be home. Maybe his wife was having a dinner celebrating graduation with the family, so he intended to surprise her.
Passing through the flower shop, Zean smiled faintly. He turned, and parked the vehicle for a moment.
“Good night, Sir. Can we help you?” A beautiful, sweet lady said hello. Maybe he's a florist in the shop.
Zean simply nodded, then stepped foot in to take a look. “Find me flowers that are suitable for my wife.”
The woman nodded, then gave her a choice. “What ... You want a red Rose, Sir? Red roses are said to be a symbol of true love as well as loyalty.”
Step again towards another flower. “Or this, Mr. ... Carnation flowers. There are a wide variety of colors, from pink, white, deep red, and yellow. Pink carnations can represent love as well as admiration for the couple
Thy. White carnations represent purity and luck. Dark red carnations represent deep love for loved ones.”
“Then, for what is yellow?” Zean asked, not having received the description of the yellow Carnation.
The florist still patiently and painstakingly responded to Zean, then replied, “For the yellow Carnation, I do not recommend. Because ... this flower symbolizes disappointment.”
Zean simply nodded, then he walked on several sides. His steps stopped at one of the flowers that had six crown strands, the leaves were oval and elongated. The ends are slightly tapered and blunt, bluish green in color and have a layer of wax. The color of the flowers is also different. Between red, white, purple, orange, yellow and still others.
“If this flower what is its name?” His hand took one stalk, then showed the florist who was still accompanying him.
The florist approached, explaining. “This is a Tulip, sir. This tulip, is thought to represent a deep-rooted and lasting feeling of love for someone.”
Hearing the florist's reply, Zean smiled brightly. “I take this, please frame a beautiful one.”
“Good, Sir. Please wait a minute.”
Drive to city A. I can't wait to meet a girl. The girl who always makes it more and more knows what love is. Relieving fatigue, feeling comfortable, calm and confidence, that all things lived with a willingness will have its own meaning for those who undergo.
***
A white car enters the gate. As usual, Im greeted me kindly. The gatekeeper even ran to the owner of the car, greeting the man who had not seen his nose for a long time at the Birawan residence.
“Goodnight, Young master.” Just as Zean closed the door, he turned to the person who was greeting him kindly.
The Birawan family's daughter-in-law smiled sweetly, perhaps as sweetly as she often showed Sally. Making Mr. Im stunned for a moment, as if making sure if not dreaming.
The man that Mr. Im saw that minimal expression, suddenly wanted to smile. Huh huh? He didn't see wrong, ‘kan?
Zean did have a friendly fleeting face, but he never smiled as sweetly as just now. Maybe because of the effect of his happiness, so can be so sweet.
Without speaking and saying, he went into Sally's house. Bi Mur welcomed as usual, offered a drink and asked Zean to sit down first.
Impatiently, he rejected bi Mur's offer. Immediately rushed to the second floor, where Sally's room was located. But, her footsteps came to a halt as sister-in-law greeted.
“Kak Zean!” The young man approached.
“Let's talk, Brother wants to see your sister.” Ignoring Dion, then immediately climbed the stairs.
“Wait, Brother!” Zean's steps stopped again, lazily then he turned the body.
“What else? I told you, later, ‘kan?”
Quickly Dion shook his head, returning a few steps toward his brother-in-law. “Didn't Brother Sally see Brother? Why did Brother Ze come here?”
Unable to understand Dion's words, Zean's eyebrows raised sideways, making several small folds in his forehead. “You mean?” He asks.
Dion was also confused, seeing a Zean expression that was like not connecting with the direction of the conversation.
“Kak Sally was picked up by two men at the building where her school held graduation, Kak. Brother Sally said, they are Brother's messengers. The two men also said that Brother wants to surprise, in exchange for Kak Ze's absence last afternoon.”
Brugh!
The Tulip flower arrangement that Zean had brought just fell to the floor, nervously and frantically he immediately grabbed the phone. Seeing all the calls from Sally, many messages, and one anonymous message made him immediately leave the Birawan residence at that time.
Unconcerned by Dion's scream, he immediately drove forward in a hurry. Mr. Im was also confused, even still dumbfounded when Zean's car had gone far.
What the hell is it? Dion, who had no answer from his brother-in-law, ran and told his parents that they had not seen Zean's arrival.
Of course he panicked, seeing Zean who was so rushed that even his facial expression could not be interpreted. Between anger, fear, and worry being one. Making him only able to sculpt when the car left his residence earlier.
