Love Heals Wounds
5. Florist

This afternoon Audrey, Nabila and Yura gathered at their headquarters discussing a plan to search for more information on their targets that had already appeared.

"Why the hell drey? Don't you think that's spirit?" nabila Tegur.

"Papa knows." Audrey replied unclearly.

"Know what the hell is non?" Yura chimed in.

"Papa knew I didn't let go of the woman." Audrey's eyes looked up.

The flashback

"Audrey, come here and talk." call papa Sebastian when you see Audrey feeding Koi in the pond.

Audrey put the fish feed on the shelf near the pond and washed her hands in the sink next to the shelf. Then he stepped towards the garden chair and sat beside his papa.

"What's the matter, pa? Not to the office?" ask Audrey.

"Papa's leaving a little later today. You're still chasing that woman, aren't you?" ask Sebastian without saying anything.

"Which woman is pa?" Audrey pretended not to understand the direction of her papa talk.

"Don't pretend drey. You've got Rebecca's latest news, haven't you?" clearly his father with an unhappy face.

Audrey gasped, her papa could tell. But he felt cautious.

"Sorry pa, Audrey can't take it off" Audrey replied softly as she lowered her head.

Sebastian let out a heavy sigh, clenching his hands to control his feelings.

"Audrey, you can't, but you won't." Sebastian looked up at the blue sky, a bright morning for a wounded heart.

Silent...

"Please stop your investigation, dear" he continued, staring at Audrey.

"Papa, it's easy for papa to say it because papa doesn't see..." Audrey's tone is high but at the same time he chokes, unable to continue.

"Yes, papa didn't see my mother stabbed by the woman." this time Sebastian looked down, looking for strength in the grass below. Tears began to flow from the corner of Audrey's eyes.

"That day you lost two very precious women to you."

Audrey looked at her papa with a confused look.

"Papa lost papa's love, papa's soul mate is your mama. And papa lost you too. There was no more the cheerful, smiling Audrey, who looked at papa lovingly." Sebastian's eyes began to glaze over in light of his struggle to recover Audrey's psychic condition.

Hearing that Audrey's tears flowed more and more.

Flashback off

Nabila and Yura stared at each other, confused about what to say.

"I know, actually you guys don't wholeheartedly help me either" Audrey said. "Isabela said it."

"Audrey, we love you." said Nabila. "She killed your mother, and now you're going to avenge her actions somehow. Aren't you the same as him in the end? Hurt people with hearts full of vengeance. So, what's the difference between you and Rebecca?" Nabila is no longer gentle.

Audrey was surprised to hear Nabila's question, all this time never crossed her mind.

"We keep helping you because we hope you won't go any further, we hope time can heal your wounds." saying that Yura grabbed Audrey's hand and held it. "Get out of that dark room, drey, your family, and we're waiting for you."

Audrey hugged Yura warmly, Nabila who saw that approached them and hugged her two best friends.

Drt..drt...

Mobile Nabila vibrating.

"Yes" he said after sliding the green button.

"Yes, I'm with Yura and Audrey."

"Now? Alright." Nabila disconnects. "Sister Mita asked us to help keep her flower shop, she would go see the decorating process of a party."

"Alright, today let's be the flower-seller girl" Yura said cheerfully.

"I'm the one who drives." Audrey snatched the car keys.

Inside a car, Aaron looked as if he was daydreaming while staring out through a window on his left side. Gustaf only occasionally glanced through the rearview mirror. There is something he wants to say, but is afraid to disturb his master.

"Say Gustaf" said Aaron suddenly.

"Sorry sir." turns out Aaron knows his anxiety. "I want to ask your permission. I'd like to see my aunt in the hospital."

"All right, but I'll come along. Can I?"

"Sure sir, sure." Gustaf spirit. "Before I wanted to buy flowers first sir."

"Yes, please. After that, we go straight to the hospital. Your aunt is more important" said Aaron flatly.

Shortly afterwards Gustaf pulled over to stop in front of a florist and got out immediately. When he entered the inside of the store he was shocked because Aaron followed.

Gustaf stepped towards the two girls who were arranging flowers.

"Good day, how can I help you?" greet a girl.

"Yes, I need a bunch of sunflowers and a greeting card to get well soon." Gustaf said.

"All right, just wait a minute. I'll make it." the girl stepped back to pick up the sunflowers while her friend stayed focused on her stringing activities.

Aaron looked at the beautiful girl who was busy stringing it, his eyes were not tired of looking at the beauty God created. Unknowingly he walked over and stopped right beside the gustaf. Beautiful, she murmured in her heart.

Meanwhile, the girl did not realize that she was being noticed. She kept doing her job, arranging White and Pink Carnations and White Lily to form a beautiful bouquet.

Gustaf who was aware as Aaron approached directly looked at Aaron, then looked at the girl. He looked back at his master and a faint smile expanded. Some are fascinated, he said in his heart.

"A bunch of sunflowers is ready, please pay up front." it turns out the girl who was working on Gustaf's order is back.

Hearing her partner speak, the girl who was arranging flowers looked up and was surprised to see a man looking at her.

Aaron swallowed his saliva violently, he was nervous because he was caught observing the girl in front of him.

"Ehmmm.the bird is beautiful, it fits your face" said Aaron, holding his ear.

Can he see the girl's eyes perfectly patterned, it seems he was surprised to exchange glances with his partner.

A woman dressed in formal white came closer.

"Are the flowers I ordered ready?"

"Stay adding to the mistress's card." replied the girl, then put down a medium-sized card that read

"So sorry"

"Please pay in front of the mistress." continued the girl.

Aaron was aghast and misbehaved, Gustaf immediately closed his mouth and went to the cashier. Aaron who saw him go straight after, he could not hide the shame.

"Does my face look like a coffin?" the girl asked her friend in a soft voice.

The sound of his partner giggling. Aaron who could still hear it immediately shook his head violently and rushed out towards the car.

On arrival next to the car he immediately kicked the car tire with his right foot. However,

"Aww.aww.aww..duh his pain." he grimaced in pain.

Gustaf looked from inside the store, he smiled broadly at his boss. Finished doing the transaction he rushed out, opened the front door and placed a flower on the driver's side seat.

After entering and wearing a seatbelt, he sees Aaron through the rearview mirror.

"Are you satisfied with Gustaf's laugh?" Aaron looked at her sharply.

"Sorry sir, but you're not as usual when you're facing a pretty girl" Gustaf said honestly. He moved uncomfortably, feeling like something cold was piercing his back.

Aaron threw his face away, looking at the scene beside him as the car started moving. He admits Gustaf's words, usually he will calm down when talking to start approaching a girl and seduce her. But just now, he felt so nervous, even when he first saw the girl his heart was beating faster than usual.

Hhhhh......

Aaron let out a rough sigh, his eyes glaring, recalling the face of the girl.

In an office building, Sebastian was standing looking at the street from his window on the 23rd floor.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

"Get in." he said without looking.

"Papa called?" rangga asked as he walked in and sat on the sofa in front of his papa table.

"Yes. Papa has contacted Grandpa Satya, we'll be gone in two days. Audrey has to be stopped before she goes any further" Sebastian said sadly.

"Alright, Rangga will clear the schedule for the next two weeks. Just in case, we don't know what's going to happen."

"Thank you son." Sebastian smiled sincerely.

"I won't let my sister take the wrong path" Rangga said steadily as she stood up.

Sebastian smiled happily, he approached Rangga and hugged his son tightly.

My pearl, look at your son now. She's amazing, isn't she? sebastian murmured in his heart.
