Joanna's Flower.
That afternoon looked crowded. Joanna kindly served her customers one by one. Among Joanna's customers, there's Ditha. Dara's Friend.
Ditha seemed to be picking flowers. When Joanna came to him.
"Can I help you?" Ask Joanna while smiling.
"Yes. I want to buy red roses." Answer Ditha.
Without asking more, Joanna began to pick the best red roses. Ditha followed behind him.
"The flowers as a birthday greeting. Trus, slip in his greeting cards too huh Ma'am?" Ditha Pinta.
"Yes. Who can you know the flowers for?"
"These flowers are my boss's order for his wife's birthday today."
"Ooh ..."
Joanna did what Ditha asked. A bunch of red roses with a congratulatory card tucked in the flower. Ditha was happy because Joanna made it what she wanted.
"Yeah ... The flower arrangement is beautiful. Thanks, Ma'am." Ditha was happy.
Joanna smears a smile. "Together."
An employee of Joanna suddenly came over with a small child in her cradle. The little boy was crying.
"Mom Joanna, Ziyo may be sleepy Mom. He's been fussy." Said the employee while handing Ziyo over to Joanna.
"His son is Mommy?" Ask Ditha kepo.
"Yes. My son's. His name is Ziyo." Answer Joanna as it were.
"What a good name. Just like the guy. Ziyo saucy yes, Ziyo huh? Cute kids can't cry. It's gonna be cute." Ditha pretentiously persuaded Ziyo to stop crying.
Joanna just commented a smile got Ditha's attention. But Ziyo's cries had not subsided yet. Until suddenly there was a heavy voice of a man greeting Ziyo. As we approached.
"Ziyo's." Greet the man.
"Here, let me carry. You have a lot of customers, right?" Add the man while extending his hand about to take Ziyo from her mother sling.
"No need, Kai. Let me just. There are employees who help." Reject Joanna smooth.
Ditha looked in admiration at the man, Kai, from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
"Crazy. Very saucy. Pantesan his son is cute, his father is also cute." Ditha muttered.
"It's okay. Today I have free time. So Ziyo let me take care of you." Said Kai.
"But_"
"Udah, it's okay." Kai doesn't care about Joanna's rejection. He then grabbed Ziyo into his carrier. Then move away, looking for a place he could sit down to calm Ziyo down.
Apparently, once Ziyo was in Kai's arms, Ziyo slowly started to calm down. And seemed to be laughing as Kai invited her to play.
Ditha who witnessed it became amazed by Kai's figure.
"Maybe Ziyo kangen his Papa huh Ma'am. Well, he can already be carried by his Papa." Ditha sok tau said.
"Oh, ma'am_" but Joanna's sentence was interrupted because an employee called her.
"Sorry, Miss Joanna. There's a customer who asked to be served directly by Ms. Joanna." The employee pointed to a man in a suit standing looking at the flowers.
"I'm sorry, I'll stay first." Joanna left Ditha alone.
Without lingering, Ditha rushed to pay for the bouquet of roses she bought at the cashier's desk. Then he left the flower shop.
.
.
The customer of Joanna's flower shop on this one slightly disturbed Kai's attention. Adult man in a suit. Neat and handsome. The man seemed familiar with Joanna.
Kai always observed every move and gurgle of the man. From the look in the eye and from the way the man looked at Joanna, Kai could see, and could even guess what the man felt like towards Joanna. He showed interest in Joanna.
Kai was sure of that. And of course, there was a sense of jealousy that was whackening the heart at this moment. Kai soon forgets his purpose, about to invite Joanna to visit Revan's grave.
"Egem ... Ehem." Deheman Kai made Joanna and the man gasp in shock and hurriedly turned his eyes to Kai. The one standing behind them.
Kai leaves Ziyo who has fallen asleep to Joanna's employees. Then approached Joanna who looked cool chatting with the man.
"Have you got the flowers you wanted?" Kai asked, not liking the man.
The man smelled his smile. "It has. The flowers are beautiful." Looking at Joanna.
Kai understood what the man meant. The flower in question is none other than Joanna.
"cn ... Kai, meet you, this is Jack, my old college friend." Joanna.
The man named Jack returned to smile. As he stretched out his hand, he was about to shake hands.
But Kai looked at his hand. He ignored Jack's good faith.
"Jack, meet Kai, my brother-in-law." Said Joanna later. Taking the initiative over the awkward atmosphere.
Kai still ignored Jack's hand. Kai's attitude really shows his discomfort and dislike towards Jack.
"Former sister-in-law?" Guess Jack and sound like you're underestimating Kai.
Kai pulled the corner of his lips, smiling sinisterly.
"The flowers have it, right? So, please." Kai stretched out his right hand. Let Jack leave the store.
Jack chuckles. "Sorry, I'm a customer. Shouldn't I be getting good treatment?"
"Today the shop was crowded. Joanna must serve other customers. He doesn't have many employees. So today he's a little busy." Sahut Kai while circulating his gaze to customers who were quite crowded that day.
"Kai, what's wrong with you?" Ask Joanna who feels strange about Kai's attitude.
Kai ignored Joanna's question. He cares more about Jack who seems reluctant to leave the store. Kai knows very well, Jack's girly. A man who likes a woman. That's what Jack's gesture looks like.
Jack understood. "alright. I-i understand. Next time I come again. Then, excuse me."
"I'm sorry Jack." Joanna said as she stepped up, leading Jack to the doorstep.
"It's okay. I'm sorry." Jack said and headed to his parked car.
Joanna waved her hand to accompany Jack's departure. It makes Kai's heart feel hot.
"Kai, why are you?" Joanna approached Kai.
"Although he's my friend, he's also a customer. Yeah, it's only natural that I serve customers." Added.
"Customer? But I don't think he bought any flowers. I doubt he's coming to buy flowers." Said Kai.
"It's up to you Kai. I don't understand your attitude." Just keep moving away from Kai.
Joanna chose to go into her private room. Where Ziyo was sleeping on the small bed in the room.
Kai followed Joanna to her room.
"Joe. We need to talk." Pinta Kai's.
"Slow down your voice. Ziyo is sleeping."
"Johanna."
"Enough Kai. Thats enough. What else do we need to talk about?" Joanna Sentak.
"many things. A lot of things confuse me. One of them, why should Kak Revan you choose. How long have you been in contact with her behind my back?"
Joanna got up from her seat and approached Kai.
"Kai. You're not realising that anyway? Between us there is nothing more. Our relationship is over. And the truth is now, we're just ex-in-laws. I still respect and cherish you as Ziyo's uncle. Besides there is no more. You know what, right?" Joana said softly, so as not to disturb Ziyo's sleep.
"I understand. Have you ever thought about my feelings? Do you understand how I felt when you decided to marry Kak Revan? Don't you know how I felt at the time?" Cecar Kai was getting carried away.
Joanna ignored. He chose to leave his room.
However, Joanna's hand had not yet turned the door handle, Kai pulled his arm strong. That instant, a warm sweep of Kai's lips landed on Joanna's lips. Kai started to grip her gently. To make Joanna gasp.
