Eps. #25 So

Day after day it seems to change so fast. The relationship between Baruna and Floretta is also getting closer. Baruna had already assured her heart that she was already in love with Flo. However, for some reason he felt something very different was in Flo, so that made him until then had not dared to express his heart to the tough girl and what it was.

There was a close together with Flo, also bringing different thoughts growing in his mind. Since spending more time with Flo, Baruna also rarely gather with her friends. Although Jeffrey and Tobias often contact him and invite him to clubbing and drinking, but Baruna always try to avoid them. There was only a reason he said to refuse the invitation of his friends.

.

In one very bright afternoon, the sun is still faithfully shining throughout the city with its radiance that has dimmed slightly because its position has been tilted in the western horizon.

As usual, Baruna was on standby waiting for Flo, coming home from the office where she worked.

From the office, Baruna did not immediately bring Flo home to his rented, but took him to a beach in the city.

The two then sat next to the sand on the beach and waited for the sunset there. The waves occasionally greet the bare feet and let the sea wash away the sand that sticks there. The wind also always hit the face and hair both.

"Tumben you're taking me to this place, Bar?" Flo smiles happily because Baruna took her to a beautiful and romantic place that day. After being tired of working all day, sitting relaxed while looking at the stretch of sea that stretches in front of him, making Flo tired, as if disguised. Moreover, there was a man who always made her feel safe there was also accompanying her.

"Yes every once in a while, Flo. So that you are not saturated with your work," said Baruna joined in smiling in response to Floretta's pleasure at that time.

"Next week, you're already going to work at that fish canning company right, Bar? After that, I'm sure we'll very rarely be together like this. You will definitely be very busy with all your work at the renowned company" said Flo.

Baruna had told Flo that she had also found a job. However, he still lied and said that he only worked as an ordinary employee in his papa-owned company.

"No, Flo. Although later we have both worked together, we will still be able to meet often. I promised I'd always pick you up from the office" said Baruna.

"I don't know how else to thank you, Bar. You have helped me so much. You have also freed me from the idle work that almost destroyed my future." Floretta looked at Baruna's face while continuing to smile. The more days, the more comfortable he felt when Baruna was nearby.

"No need to thank you, Flo. I did all that because I ..." Baruna stopped her speech and followed by just looking at Floretta's eyes meaningfully. "I actually like you, Flo." Finally the words came out of his mouth.

"What ... w-do you want to be my girlfriend, Flo?" baruna asked a little groggy. "I'm in love with you, Flo," he admitted honestly because he was unable to hide all his feelings for the girl before him. For the first time, the honest words came from his mouth. Although all this time he was close to many girls, but this was the first time he said the word love with all his heart to a woman.

Floretta fell silent and lowered her face. To be honest, she was not too surprised to hear Baruna's confession, from the treatment and attention Baruna gave her, she could guess that Baruna did indeed hold some flavor for her. It's just that he is not confident enough, until finally Baruna revealed it directly with a very sweet to him.

"You didn't answer my question, Flo. What ... You don't love me?" Baruna repeated the question because Flo was just silent without a word.

"Are you serious, Baruna?" Slowly Flo raised her face and looked back at Baruna's face.

"Yes, of course! I look like I'm joking, don't I?" roared Baruna, but her words sounded earnest.

Flo just smiled again. However, now there was a glass frame decorating his blue eyes.

"I love you too, Bar" he said bluntly. He was also unable to lie to his heart which had also harbored a sense of good-natured man and was present like a helper god in his life.

"I should thank you, Bar. You've been too good for me all along." Flo buried his head in Baruna's chest. For a moment the warm atmosphere was so pronounced between the two.

Minute by minute continued walking, Baruna and Flo remained engrossed in sitting together on the beach enjoying the beauty of the sky when the sun began to set. Not many words were spoken from the mouths of the two, only the heart was talking. The two people who are in love just throw a smile at each other with a happy feeling that envelops the hearts of each other.

"It's late, Bar. We should go home now," invite Flo because the atmosphere on the beach is getting darker and many people who are also there to enjoy the view of the sun that goes to the contest, now I started leaving the beach.

"Yes, Flo. Let's go home!" Baruna nodded. They also passed from the beach with other visitors, and headed to Flo's rented house.

"Let's go in first, Bar!" Floretta took Baruna's hand in a spoiled manner and invited her inside her house.

"Sit down first, I'll make you some tea" Flo said, allowing Baruna to sit on the old sofa in the living room. As usual, Baruna always stopped by and drank Flo's tea there.

Flo rushed to the kitchen to make tea. A beautiful smile continued to be reflected on his lips when he realized Baruna, the man who had always been close to him so far, had now officially become his lover.

Praangg!

Daydreaming, without him noticing his hand nudging the cup he prepared to serve tea. The cup fell onto the kitchen floor and shattered into pieces.

"Aawws!" ringis Flo, when suddenly felt a pain in her index finger while cleaning the broken cup scattered on the floor.

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Baruna rushed over.

"Fuck!" pekik Baruna was aghast. "You hurt?" Baruna rounded her eyes when she saw that there was fresh blood on Flo's finger that was injured by being slashed by a broken cup.

Baruna rushed to hold Flo's hand and washed the blood coming out of the wound in the sink.

"Come, Flo. Your wound must be treated so as not to get infected!" Baruna pulled Flo out of the kitchen.

"The P3K box is under the TV shelf, Bar!" Flo pointed to a drawer at the bottom near the living room TV and asked Baruna to pick it up.

"Come now I'll wrap your wounds" Baruna said, attaching a medicated patch to Flo's injured index finger.

"Is this sick?" tanya Baruna looked a little worried about Flo's situation.

Flo did not reply and simply shook his head while smilingly staring at Baruna. The little attention Baruna gave her was so memorable in her heart.

In a few moments, their four neutrals clashed. Various feelings stirred in their hearts. To be sure, the love between them deepened. Falling in love for the first time makes their hearts blossom.
