ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
S2. 58. Curious

Victoria had just thrown her body on the chair, about to begin her work of arranging flowers while the sound of her cell phone had disturbed the silence.

"Mommy Lana?"

Victoria's eyebrows were tied to each other when she found the name of the mother-in-law clearly on her phone screen, making a call.

For a moment Victoria did not immediately receive the call, but was busy arranging her heart thump first, before finally she ventured to shift the green icon of the receipt, at the end of the ringing of her phone.

"H-hello, Momm ...?" slightly staggered.

Moments like this are rare. Victoria even forgot the last time her mother-in-law called her in person.

It seems like a long time ago, even then when the in-law asked to release his son from the bond of marriage.

"Victoria ..." Lana's voice rang out across the street.

"Y-yes Momm, what's wrong?"

"Mmm, look, Vic, Mommy just wanted to make sure. Tonight ... Can you come home?"

"Night?"

"Yes, Vic, if you have time to spare, come after work, and stay at home even if it's just overnight ..."

Victoria's speechless. Still feeling confused and barely trusting with her own hearing, while Lana's voice which although sounding still a little awkward, but this time felt so softly greet Victoria's eardrum, not as usual.

"Vic ...? You're still there, right?"

"L-yes, Momm ..." again.

"Vic, did you hear the request that Mommy made just now?"

"Yes, Momm, I heard it. I ... I will definitely come after my work hours are over. But if I may know, is there a celebration or something ..."

"It's just a regular dinner, and because Daddy Arshlan wants to see you too. You never told me after Luiz's show yesterday, and Daddy thinks you're still sad about it."

Victoria's head involuntarily shook her head, though she knew that Lana couldn't possibly see it.

"No, Momm, it's not like that. Forgive me for not letting you know that Mommy and Daddy are worried .." - Victoria was really filled with regret, realizing that it didn't feel like a week had passed, and he had been so busy thinking about himself that he had forgotten to give the news that Daddy Arshlan was worried about.

Victoria secretly felt deeply moved when she realized that from the beginning her father-in-law had been the only person who had never been on her side.

The old man always put his support on Victoria, as the daughter-in-law in their family.

"Well, then come tonight, because Mommy and Daddy will be waiting for you."

"Yes, Momm, I will definitely come."

And that conversation, it's over ...

"Luna, who is she?"

Luna did not answer immediately, but remained faithful to look at El who was behind the wheel while smiling for himself.

For what?

At this time Luna felt that she felt so happy, because she could enjoy the handsome face of El who looked very curious.

Earlier, while still in Florist, Luna had suspected El's actions were not separated watching the glass divider of her room, where outside the room, her best friend Victoria was seen sitting quietly while arranging flowers.

"Luna," said El again, so impatient because the question was not discussed at all.

"Hhm ..."

El turned his gaze for a moment to look at Luna, before returning to focus on the streets before her. "You hear me not anyway?"

Luna smiled again. "Yes, El, I hear you." she said calmly.

El, is Luna's only sister. Since childhood many consider them twin brothers, because in fact, the distance of their age was only one year.

"You said you heard me, then why did you just shut up while smiling strangely like that?" El was heard saying in an angry tone towards Luna.

"I'm very happy, because in the end I can see an expensive scene like this."

"expensive sight? What do you mean by sight?"

"You are."

El's eyebrows are getting confused. Although El had tried to focus on looking at the streets, but still his tail often stole a glance towards Luna, who was sitting quietly right next to him, smiling triumphantly.

"Finally, a Lionel Winata, could also be caught by a woman ..."

El looked back at Luna's blatant temptation. "What are you talking about? So all this time you thought that I wasn't interested in women?"

"Don't blame me. You yourself have never shown your interest in a woman excessively. Enthusiastic stuff like this .. I've never seen it,"

"You are so nosy .." sizzled El could not hide his embarrassment in front of his younger brother. "So .. Who is he?" the question again, this time more serious, the more blatant.

"Victoria?" repeat El as if to himself. "Luna, does she have a boyfriend?" say it again with a tone to the point.

Luna seemed to be twisting her shoulders. "If that I don't know for sure ..."

"What are you doing, Luna? You said Victoria was your friend. But he's got a girlfriend or not, you don't even know ..." El looks to be grumbling.

"El, Victoria was an old friend of mine back in college. Two months ago, I accidentally met him back at a convenience store, then we had exchanged contact numbers with each other, and started communicating again from then on."

"Then how's the story he got to work at your Florist?" asked El again, increasingly curious about the background of a beautiful woman who was quite stealing his attention.

"At that time I complained about the lack of employees, especially for the position of flower decorator, and Vic immediately offered himself. Just that simple."

El listened to Luna's explanation without interrupting. Her heart was very curious about many things, but what power, it seemed like Luna's answer was not so satisfying to her.

Luna is right, he is the type of man who is not easily attracted to the opposite sex, unless the woman is really special.

Perhaps that is also one of the causes, why at the age of this year has stepped thirty years, El has not found a woman who can make her heart so adrift.

She is so different ...!

Of course ...!

El can't immediately decide that his heart has been held back by a Victoria.

Maybe ... It was all too soon.

But one thing El believed, that there was something special about a Victoria, which seemed to disturb her heart.

Like a fragility wrapped in force, like an invisible magnetic field, but can attract a piece of iron.

I don't know ...

What is clear is the presence of the woman, quite desperate in stealing her attenuation.

Victoria had just returned from the toilet when Feni had just finished talking to someone via the office phone.

As usual, his stomach felt uncomfortable, constantly making it seem like he wanted to spit something out from within, yet strangely nothing came out.

Fortunately all the unpleasant feelings just come and go, not to affect its activities until it drags on.

"Who, Fen ...?" ask Victoria towards Feni who is currently writing something to the order book. "Reply more?"

Feni nodded while putting the pen back into a long album book, like a book barrier.

"Only a bouquet of flowers is alive, with a romantic concept for someone special."

"Then give me a minute to put it together, so that you can join your first delivery ..."

"No need, Rin. He said he'd be here soon to get it."

"really? Then I'll have to string it up now."

"Hhm ..."

Victoria also immediately moved quickly, preparing the material to be used as desired by the customer, which included wrapping materials, binding materials, and florist materials themselves.

While Feni is also busy cleaning his sling bag because of his plan he will join Doni to deliver several flower orders at once.

"Fen, we're leaving now." Doni emerged from the front door after transporting all orders into the box car.

"Ok, Don .." replied Feni towards Doni who then instantly disappeared again from the door frame.

"Vic, I'm going first. Are you okay here alone?"

"Go, I'm fine."

"Related?"

"Relieve,"

Victoria had spoken, but she herself spoke with her hands and the concentration that was mostly on her activity now was cutting and tidying up some fresh rose stalks carefully.

"Boss Luna will be back soon. She was just saying goodbye for a while to accompany her brother to take care of something." added Victoria again, this time she had looked at Feni with a reassuring look, he said, as if knowing exactly that his best friend was worried about him who wanted to be left alone.

"All right then." Feni breathed out. "Vic, remember carefully that you're not late for lunch. Lately I've seen your stomach get in trouble."

"i know's. Don't worry, because I'll remember. Thank you, Fen ..."

Feni nodded, returning Victoria's smile to him, before finally completely passing from Victoria's face, remembering Doni who had been waiting for her since.

... NEXT

But do not forget to support first my beloved ... 😘
