Fragile Girl
The tabebuya flowers are scattered in a garden of a magnificent two-story house, there is a fountain that comes from a fish pond located in the middle of the garden. In addition to the cherry blossoms, there were also other flowers such as roses, jasmine, daisies and so on that filled the garden. don’t forget the garden bench that was now being inhabited by a girl in a red and black plaid shirt that was half tucked into long jeans that formed the curves of her legs.
The white sports shoes that the girl took off and preferred to tread on, also don’t forget the sling bag that has now been placed on the long bench as if there is no use anymore other than just idle there. The girl’s straight hair was deliberately curled to expose it to the night breeze. The girl continued to stare at the tabebuya tree, even occasionally picking up fallen petals, picking roses that were worth picking, then returning to the elongated bench. Inhaling every pollen from the tabebuya flowers, and smelling the fragrance of the roses she was holding. After that, the girl laughed horribly.
“Hahahahahahahaha, have I lost this time? I can’t get Gifer. The man I’ve loved for a long time. Even I’ve made him blind, I’m glad Gifer is blind, because he won’t know that I’m watching him, looking at his face. Because if Gifer knows, he will definitely keep rejecting me, hiks.. hiks.. hiks.” At the same time, the girl was crying so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes while looking at the rose she was holding, which turned out to be a thorny rose that hurt her hand.
“Even the pain from the rose thorns stuck in my palm doesn’t hurt at all. It hurts my heart more to have to swallow the fact that Gifer has a new girlfriend again, and now that he can see again? I won’t accept this! Nara will destroy what you’ve got, Gifer Fernandez! If I can’t have you, then no one else can either!” Said Nara who was still staring at her palm which was already covered in blood because it was stuck with the rose thorn.
“Nara!!!” From earlier, Kiano was still watching his sister who was talking to herself in the garden.
The man had just returned from his office and was presented by Nara who had picked some flowers in the garden. The man who was older than Nara was still watching his sister’s movements until his eyes realized that Nara’s hands were covered in blood because of the thorns from the roses she had taken earlier. Obviously, Kiano who saw that was surprised, even though it was only visible from the dim garden lights, still, the red color of the fresh blood flowing was still visible.
“Let’s go inside.” Nara just smiled and nodded obediently to her brother. Kiano carried Nara’s belongings left on the park bench as he escorted his sister into the house.
Once inside the house, Kiano immediately grabbed the medicine box to treat his sister’s wound before it became infected.
“Why are you playing with roses? You know yourself, roses are beautiful, sometimes they can be medicinal, but sometimes they can hurt with the thorns that come out of their stems.” Kiano grumbled as he treated his sister.
“This is nothing, big brother. It’s nothing compared to the pain of my heart for Gifer that I have to swallow raw every day. I’m tired, big brother. Why can’t Gifer ever accept me? What exactly is my shortcoming? Hiks… hiks… hiks..” Kiano who was treating Nara’s wound immediately stopped his activities.
“Why can’t you love someone other than Gifer, Nara? You know yourself, don’t you? The more you chase after him, the more it hurts you.” Kiano said feeling sorry for his sister.
“I can’t, big brother. I only want Gifer, only Gifer who has been in my heart all this time.”
“Then why did you hurt Gifer, Nara? Why did you cause him harm if you love him? Didn’t you think, at the time of the accident Gifer could have died? And you would never be able to see him again?”
“I was just trying to blind him, Big Brother. Because I just didn’t want Gifer to see me, so he would stay away from me. Whereas I still want to pay attention to him without Gifer knowing.”
“Nara, can’t you stop all this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Yes, I already know everything, including the fact that you instigated the hospital to prevent Gifer from getting an eye donor.”
“So, you already know everything?”
“Yes, I know, but I kept quiet because I love you. I don’t want others to know about this matter.” Kiano replied.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Then, will you take my side?”
“How?”
Nara began to whisper something into Kiano’s ear until he covered his mouth with both palms, then looked at Nara’s eyes wide.

Tonight, Belvina could not sleep. The girl glanced at the wall clock in her room that was already pointing towards 11 for the short hand, and the long hand that was already pointing to 4. The girl only intended to sleep early so that she could go to work the next day without having to miss the bus. But instead, she ended up unable to sleep because she was thinking about something. Meanwhile, Anggi hadn’t slept yet because she still wanted to watch the Korean drama series she liked in the living room alone. Instantly her mind was now on Gifer who had told her earlier that afternoon that he promised to love her.
“I hope what Gifer said this afternoon is true and not lying to me.” Belvina said with a smile and pulled the blanket up to her thighs.
“But, why can’t I sleep? Do I miss Gifer? Aishh, even though we met this afternoon, Vina!” She said while messing up her hair roughly.
“But, what do you think Gifer is doing? Ah… maybe he’s busy with his office work. Gifer is the CEO, so he must be busy with office matters. But, did Gifer notify me? There doesn’t seem to be any message on my cell phone notification from Gifer.” Belvina wondered while starting to open her cell phone which was on the nightstand. She started to open the notification which turned out to be an incoming message notification from Gifer. Belvina immediately changed her sleeping position into a sitting position. The message said,
‘Honey, I went to Mr. Ian’s house to find out the truth about the accident case I had on the Kendal-Jakarta Toll Road at that time.’
“What? Gifer went to Ian’s house? Will he get the answer from Ian directly? Why am I so worried that Gifer knows everything and is in shock. Even I who already knew everything was shocked when Raya told me, I’m afraid Gifer will hate Nara even more after knowing everything about the accident.” Belvina’s monologue.
.
“You must solve this case soon, Gifer. Before your enemies attack you again.”
“It looks like I’m going to uncover it myself with the evidence gathered so far.”
