I'M NOT A FLOOZY
Chapter 9

Flashbacks

Eight years ago

After Anthony died, Anne tried to rise from her slump.

The arrival of her entourage of shareholders and the company's management team to her home, made Anne aware of her obligations as the owner of the company.

With back teetering, Anne tried hard to run the business she pioneered with her late husband.

As the owner of a textile company, Anne should not stand by the fate of hundreds of employees.

Anne was brought back to manage the company she founded with her late husband Anthony Tan Gulizar.

Not to lose the sadness of losing her only daughter who has not even turned three years old, the husband encouraged Anne to undergo the process of baby tubes.

When the examination process is carried out, a lump is detected around the ovaries. Finally a full medical chek was performed. From the results of the examination was found a malignant tumor that attacked her uterus, so that Anne's uterus must be removed.

The storm of life that hit Anne did not stop there.

Prolonged grief has Anne on the edge of despair. Anthony died in a plane crash in the Dardanella Strait, also known as the Gallipoli Strait, in northwestern Turkey.

Anne tried to get up and drown in work to reduce her suffering.

Anne attended various meetings and seminars related to the world of textiles.

At a business meeting, Anne meets a man from her past.

Beldig Norman, the man who once filled Anne's heart in the past before marrying Anthony Tan Gulizar.

After the meeting, Beldiq approached Anne and greeted her.

Then Beldiq took Anne to a hotel cafe where the meeting took place.

Anne and Beldiq exchanged stories, while reminiscing about the past. Beldiq already knew that Anthony was killed in a plane crash.

Departing from the information he got, Beldiq secretly attended the business meeting.

Like finding a stopover oasis, Anne said, "Beldiq, I don't want to betray Anthony, even if it's not my first love, but he is able to bring me into a change. In my current condition, I desperately need the help of someone beside me. Beldiq help me, and I'm sorry." Anne said to Beldiq Norman.

"Anne, I can't believe I found you back in this condition. Forget your bitter times. I'm still like the old days, the man who still loves you today."

Beldiq stretched out his arms and carried Anne into his arms.

Anne's meeting with Beldiq Norman, which was followed by subsequent meetings made little by little return to arouse Anne's spirit to escape from grief.

John Norman, and Beldiq Norman are two sisters from different mothers with a gap of fifteen years old.

The two brothers were very happy. They help and love each other.

John and Beldiq they were raised in a modest family, their parents were just honey bee farmers.

Anne turned away from her first love due to an arranged marriage by Anne's parents with the only son of a textile businessman from Turkey.

But what to say, soul mate is not as easy as we imagine. Household life must end with all trials, until one by one Anne must return to the Almighty.

"Anne, whoever you are to me, you're still my first love.

It's not easy for me to just forget you. Comeback to me. We re-knit this failure of our love by living together."

Beldiq faithfully accompanied Anne who was still experiencing a psychiatric crisis due to the storm of life she experienced.

In a relaxed atmosphere at home, Anne told the two sisters,

"Beldiq, my only hope right now is to find my son, my instincts say Gulizar is still there, and he's alive."

John listened to Anne.

"I want you to help me find her, I'll take whatever you ask me as long as my daughter gets back in my lap."

Anne made a request to

Beldiq and John were attending Anne's birthday party.

John asked seriously on the sidelines of their conversation.

"Say madam, for your happiness I am willing to do whatever it takes as long as there is a fair reward." John's blink of an eye and eyebrows rose and fell, which invited their laughter due to John's silliness.

It is rare for Beldiq to see John as a joke with anyone, due to his quiet nature and difficulty in getting along.

Hearing John's statement, Anne, like whipped her spirit to rise from the grief she suffered, and find her only daughter.

"John's... Whatever you ask me to give, my treasure is nothing to me. I just want my daughter back in my lap."

The happy sparkle implied in Anne's eyes. Beldiq hugged his ex-girlfriend tightly.

"How old is your daughter right now, madam? Hopefully I can uncover the whereabouts of the Madam's daughter."

As a licensed detective and perhaps this was the first case of interstate investigative duty, John dared to take on the task.

John volunteered for his older brother's ex-lover.

"Oh yeah, for the madam, I just want a bond as the pay." The look on John Norman's face implies a seriousness.

"What do you mean John, say," Beldiq doesn't know where John's talking is going.

"It's not John's bet, I don't want anything to happen to me for the rest of my life." Anne moved from the sofa where she was sitting.

"What do you mean by a bond? I cannot marry Beldiq, for it is impossible for me to give a child to Beldiq." Anne realizes where John is going, she wants the best for her brother Beldiq Norman.

"Anne... Please, don't think too hard, forget everything! Prioritize your condition and hopefully John can help you find your daughter." Beldiq's soothing smile was engraved on her thin lips.

Over time, Anne's condition improved. The support of the two brothers encouraged Anne to rise and made her a whip for her to toughen up.

Textile companies that began to decline and decline in market share, are now crawling back to stability.

At his home, John studied all the data, and the scene of the toddler drowning a few years ago, and it turns out there is indeed an oddity there.

Until one day, there was again a meeting between John Norman, Beldiq, and Anne to discuss and examine the case of the disappearance of Tan Palupi Gulizar, Anthony's only daughter with Anne.

"Hopefully, I can find the spot as soon as possible, Miss Anne said. Prepare my documents and needs, next week. I'm going to Indonesia." Pinta John to Anne.

"Do your best, my brother, but still young after the target." Beldiq seduces John the younger brother and his best friend.

After John passed, and left them. Leave them both in silence.

"Anne.., come back to me, I still love you with or without descendants from you, may your daughter be found soon and we will raise together." Beldiq pleaded with a serious look.

Anne lowered her head.

"Give me some Beldiq time. My first priority right now is to find my daughter."
