Michelle POV
I neatly wrapped the Rose after I had arranged it beautifully in the bouquet. Once seen, my customer's face smiled with satisfaction for each of my work. Somehow it feels like arranging these flowers radiates its beauty from within me.
"Thank you, Michelle, you always make sure these flowers look fresh. I am still satisfied to buy these flowers from you, "my customers gave me money according to the price of the bouquet I sold
"Of course, I hope you will continue to buy flowers here, madam. Welcome back, "I took the money. I circled the store's contents with my eyes, seeing that there were still customers who wanted to buy my flowers or not. It seems that all the customers I've finished serving. Now my eyes are fixed on the seat that I deliberately put right next to my shop window to beautify the decoration. Brenda there looks relaxed with her cigarette.
"I told you not to smoke again" I approached him and without being able to avoid it, I took a cigarette from her hand and then threw it out the window.
"Arrrgghhhhhhh, Michelle," as usual, Brenda showed a face of protest.
"You must love this little angel now." I pointed at her stomach and sat down beside her. I am releasing a little tired from working fatigue. I don't know how many flowers I have been making from earlier.
"Hmmm, There are still many pregnant women out there who smoke when they are pregnant," Brenda protested again, now that I'm a little overprotective. Whereas before I never cared about her smoking habits
"Then you just don't need to be one of them. Try to be different from another, "I said with a faint smile. Hope Brenda doesn't make cigarettes a matter of debate.
"Okay, okay, Mama. Whatever you ask for "Brenda taunts put on a face that looks like a child obeying her mother's orders. "Hmmm, how about Sean now?" continued Brenda changed the subject.
"What's wrong with Sean?" I inched back, frowning in surprise at the Brenda's question
"Hey? Did you forget? Soon the wedding day will arrive." Michelle? Soon you will become Ms. Sean "Brenda formed a love sign from her hand.
"Don't mock me. You know very well why I married Sean. "I leaned my head against the sofa
"Hmmm Michelle, can't you just stop now. I think this has been too long. Everything just becomes waste. When will you focus on your life?" Brenda turned around to face me.
"No, I don't want to stop if now everything is almost clear. Besides, after everything is over, I will also ask Sean to divorce me." I rolled my eyes lazily. Showing me who doesn't care at all about this marriage
"Are you sure? What if you are truly trapped in a love story? How romantic your relationship will be," Brenda smiled enthusiastically.
"Love is reluctant to approach my life. Why? Because I never knew that. So wake up from your silly imagination, "I yelled at Brenda's forehead.
"Aww, you just did violence to a pregnant woman like me," protested Brenda, holding her forehead, even I didn't hit her head hard. Look at this spoiled reaction.
"Hahaha, stop it," I laughed with amusement when I saw Brenda's expression. Even so for a moment, my mind remembered the marriage that I took for granted. Indeed, I don't love Sean, and I indeed married Sean because of a purpose. But my heart is still bound by a doubt, deserves Sean to be a victim of my selfishness
Indeed, to get something requires struggle and sacrifice. I have gone far enough and come to the point of not being able to return. I crossed various intersections. The gravels of life have accompanied my journey. Well, for me to this selfishness, there is no reason to be stopped. Keep going is a choice.
"Can we talk for a minute?" said a raspy, firm voice. Brenda and I turned to the sound source. Sean is the owner of the sound, now standing proudly in front of me. For the first time, I kept awkwardness in my heart. Sean came this time without making a fuss. He looks handsome in his suit. Well certainly reflects himself as a CEO
"Hey. Strange thing. What is this? Sean, you came without a fuss this time? "Brenda first answered Sean's words.
"Michelle, I want to talk to you. Just two of us, "Sean ignored Brenda and asked me to speak with him again. I nodded in agreement and followed Sean.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked probing. The atmosphere feels more awkward than before for me. Why does Sean look so calm, unlike usual?
"I'm is Sean Delano. I don't have a father or a mother. I live with my Granny. My job is just a CEO of a mall. I am not a romantic man, many women out there are also injured because I never asked them to crave. Is that okay with you? "Sean finished something about him. I wonder what this man's goal now.
"What are you talking about?" I furrowed my forehead looking at him confused
"Doesn't sound important to you. Something about me?" the blue iris looked at me wistfully. I'm getting uncomfortable with this awkward situation. wishing in my heart that Sean stopped staring at me like that
"Okay, I don't understand what you're talking about, Sean. Please don't beat around the bush. Get straight to the point. What do you want? You still want me to cancel this marriage ?. if that's what you want. My answer will always be the same. Do you understand what I mean? "Sean was not stunned at all by my words. While I have told him that this marriage will continue
"I knew you didn't consider my background, me, my life, or my work meaningful. Michelle listens to me carefully. I have no idea what your purpose for this marriage is. I mean look, you look like you're not looking for anything in this marriage. You don't want a husband, you don't wish to wealth, and you don't want to love. Alright, I approve of this marriage, "he said softly, I heard. My ears are not wrong for the string of words that just came out of his mouth.
"Are you sure, Sean? Did you just drink something? Don't tell me you are drunk right now "I looked into the situation sean. Make sure Sean is in excellent condition in line with his sane mind.
"I don't understand women. When I insisted against this marriage you didn't like it. And when I approve of this marriage you look surprised. Never mind. I will marry you according to my Granny's request. But there are conditions you must know about this. isn't there nothing easy to get in this world? "
"Conditions? Conditions for what ?? tell me what is it?" somehow my conversation and Sean seemed to flow just like that.
"If indeed you married me purely for my Granny. Wholly because you respect my Granny. Then after marriage, there is no divorce, "as if looking at me proudly after his words. Honestly, I don't intend to be Sean's wife forever. For a moment, I thought, the decision I will take later on the terms referred to sean.
"So why can't there be a divorce? Are you sure I'm really a good wife for you? What if you ask for a divorce later? "I asked Sean in return, hoping he would stop him from making that condition.
"I'm sure of my Granny's choice. I can't be sure what will happen in the future. But it never hurts me to maintain something that my Granny has chosen for my good," Sean answered with a string that he said sounded very appreciative of his Granny.
I think I lost this debate. Besides, what Sean said has a point. Nobody knows what will happen in the future. It's more critical for me to think about what I'm going to do now. Accepting the terms of Sean doesn't hurt me.
"Alright, I accept the conditions. but remember your own words, that no one knows what will happen in the future "I said stressing the terms of the future
"Certain. Congratulations on you being the lady of Sean Delano, "Sean said, smiling sweetly to me. I don't know where he came from the confidence he had. After the conversation, Sean left my shop. I sighed a little, releasing the nervous feeling that I had been holding back.
The image of Sean disappearing as his car accelerates. While inside the shop, Brenda sits idly with a cigarette that she has lit again. Oh god, how difficult it is to manage my friend.
"Damn Brenda, Why you are not listening to me," I shouted over to Brenda. Let whatever that will come in my life. I will welcome it with open arms.
