Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms
Unexpected


I delivered Poky at his house. First time I went to Poky's. Actually their Uncle Maxim's house still has one roof. The house is big too, a classic modern building. It looks cool because of the many flowers and plants in front of his house. Looks like Aunt Delta enjoys gardening.


Electric gates that open automatically, if the power off do not need to worry because the gate will remain open using Dynamo. From the gate to the house quite far away, there were about 150 steps, so I dropped Poky right in front of the porch of his house.


"Come in, stop by for a second" Poky said before descending


"Hmm next time yeah, I'm tired," I said reasoned when in fact because I wasn't familiar with Mama.


I saw Aunt Delta sitting on a small bench, wearing gloves and moving the soil into the pot. Right I guess, he likes gardening.


I got off, approached Auntie Delta, said, "Tante Delta, I'm going straight home, okay?"


Delta who uses headphones in her ear does not listen to my voice, nor does she know my arrival because my car is not noisy at all.


Poky poked Delta on the shoulder and the woman was a little surprised, she turned around while opening the headphones and looked at me with Poky alternating.


"You... Zoya..," said Delta.


"He was kind enough to take me home" said Poky


"Why are you in France? What about Edgar? I thought you were not a good woman. Edgar is lying sick but you're doing well in France" Delta said


"Ma..," Poky belik warned his mother not to speak


"I should have gone and not greeted you" I whispered to Delta


"Sorry Poky, I have to go home,"


I took my big foot to the car and drove it without looking or smiling.


I see from the spy Poky and Mama like debating something. Next time I won't be polite if he keeps scolding me.


My car just kept going straight, I really didn't want to go home but also didn't know where I was going. Then I went to my best friend's house, my coworker's house before I moved to Japan. On the way, I saw a large banner and many people lined up. I read carefully the content of the writing on the banner.

Translate Group Bataragunadi is proud to present the launch of the latest work by Septira Wihartanti, titled "Ladys Gentleman"


"What the fuck, crazy! This is all hell. She's the greatest woman I know. I liked all the novels but I wasn't told anything about launching them in France. Hmmm I have to go there. My chance, when else can I meet him, he's far away in Bekasi Indonesia" I murmured.


I expressed my intention to meet my best friend during work first, I put in my car and queue in front. For whatever sake I'm willing to queue up for my favorite author.


The queue was long, my legs were getting tired. There are only two more people left to get to my turn. Patience Zoya!


Yaps. I saw that woman in front of my eyes. I was teary even so nervous I couldn't say a word.


"Ka-ka-you... SEPTIRA.. Wihar... tanti?" say stammered


The 40-year-old woman was unlike her age, her face looked younger perhaps by about 20 years. She was truly beautiful with a hijab that covered her body gracefully.


My legs were shaking, unable to contain the nervousness. I hugged himself very tightly.


"I love you so much. You write from the heart until I jump into it. So excited! Give me your number, can I?" my ask


"Thank you, I'm so moved. Hope the works alone can entertain and inspire your days,"


She gave her number and her signature on the novel I had just bought when I came in front.


I actually wanted to see him for a longer time, but there were a lot of people waiting for me behind so inevitably I had to give up. I came home with a happy heart so happy I passed my friend's house. So that I completely undo my intention to go there.


In the evening, I took my time to read all the novels by SEPTIRA Wihartanti until some incoming messages I did not care.


My eyes began to get tired, until I finally finished my reading. I saw some incoming messages. From my best friend Elsa, she asked me to meet her because she knew I was back in France.


"I'm tired and already sleepy, what if tomorrow," I replied from the message


He replied for a long time, then finally he replied with a sad message.


"I need a friend, please. You can stay in my apartment, "he asked hoping


I thought she rarely asked for help when we were together, so I decided to go to her apartment that night even though the time was 10 p.m. Besides, the distance between his apartment and my father's house is not far.


Upon arrival, I boarded the apartment elevator while continuing my reading. Elsa's apartment is on the 7th floor. There were some people who also entered with me, but I did not pay attention to anyone who entered. I focused on my reading because it was so exciting


Ting


The elevator sounds as if the door will open. But as soon as I stepped my foot out of the elevator, someone covered my head with a black cloth. You're in revolt, but both of my arms are held by someone with big hands.


I feel the elevator start to go up, I'm sure the people in the elevator are the culprits. I wanted to open the head covering but they grabbed my hand very tightly.


"Please!!!" I shouted from the elevator. I wasn't sure if anyone heard me and a hand covered my lips and leaned me on his big body.


One of them tied me up, because I moved a lot shortly after that I heard the sound of the elevator sign ting open.


The man nudged my body on his shoulder. My stomach feels pain in his shoulder. I just move my legs so I can fall and get away from it.


I was lowered and pushed forward.


"Hey..who are you!" yell at


"Take me off!" I shouted again even though I was sure no one was listening.


I felt the air rushing at me, I guessed I might be on the roof of the apartment. But who did this to me.


"Zoya Deana Aldrich," said a woman with a Japanese accent, I recognized her voice


"Xiaonian?" my terka
