My father's charm
Chapter 36 - The Flower Sender

Raline threw a smile and waved her hand at Shireen who had just entered the door of her grandmother's house.

The 5-year-old little girl, standing in front of her was a birthday cake even without candles.

The whole family had gathered to celebrate Raline's birthday. Everyone said wishes and prayers for the little girl.

Alka carrying a bouquet of roses walked over to her daughter.

Shireen looked at the flower that Alka was holding exactly with the 2 bouquets she received this morning.

"Make you!" Alka handed it to Raline.

"Dad, what am I for this flower?" tanyanya.

"Do you like flowers?"

"I like it but I'd rather Dad give me toys and pretty clothes" Raline replied.

"Dad will buy you some pretty and nice toys and clothes!" the promise.

"Really, Dad?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then I return the flowers!" Raline thrust the bouquet into her father's chest.

"Give this to Aunt Shireen!" his orders.

"Alright, Dad!" Raline walked with the flowers and gave them to Shireen.

The woman looked puzzled as Raline gave the flowers.

"For Auntie!" Raline.

"Thank you," Shireen grabbed him and smiled stiffly.

"Let's eat together now!" bring Alka.

Everyone sat on the carpet forming a circle, Lilis served Alka-ordered food at Shireen's catering.

"It's fitting that Mas Alka's dish message today is very much, apparently Raline is having a birthday," said Shireen. Yes, Alka ordered a side dish of 5 kinds for a portion of 10 people. So he had to get his employees to take the car to his residence.

"We deliberately didn't tell you to be a surprise" Lilis smiled.

"And it turned out to be a surprise for Kak Shireen who suddenly got a bouquet of flowers from Kak Alka," said Lisa.

"Father never gave us flowers, but today she somehow gave Raline a rose. It's strange" Varrel said.

"Raline's a girl, usually likes flowers," Alka gave an explanation.

"But what for me, Dad. Flowers can't be eaten" Raline said.

Everyone who heard him laughed.

Shireen was sitting opposite Alka, the man was always looking at her making him misbehave.

It was not usual for Alka to take her so seriously.

To relieve his nervousness, Shireen invites Raline and Sean to chat.

Lilis deliberately nudged her son's arm.

Alka quickly realizes that she is indeed in love with Shireen.

Two hours with the Alka family, Shireen bailed home.

Alka accompanied the woman to her car parked in the yard of Mama Lilis' house.

"Normally Mas Alka drove me to the car" he said.

"There is something I want to say" said Alka.

"What is that, Mom?"

"Yes, I like it."

"Then every day I will send it" said Alka.

Shireen waved her hand forbidding it. "Don't, Mas!"

"Why?"

"What am I that much for? It's like opening a flower shop" he said.

"You said you liked."

"Yes, I like it but it's too much" Shireen said.

"True, anyway."

"Oh, yeah. Can I ask you something?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"This rose is very similar to the two bouquets I received this morning. Is that really from Mas Alka?"

Alka answered him with a slow nod.

"What's? He sent it, no. This must be a dream!"

"Sorry!"

"No, Mas. I'm happy," Shireen smiled.

"Thank you!" Alka replied with a smile.

"Gosh, it turns out he can be that romantic!"

"Shireen!" call him.

"Yes, Mum."

"How about tomorrow night if I pick you up at our house for dinner together?" bring Alka.

Shireen opened her eyes in disbelief, the man who said he didn't like to take her out to dinner.

"You don't want to, do you?"

"I want to, Mas" Shireen replied in spirit.

"Well, at seven o'clock I'll pick you up!"

"Yes, Mum."

"Thank you!" Alka smiled.

"Then, I said goodbye" Shireen opened the door of her car and walked in.

In the car, Shireen moved her whole body, revealing an expression of happiness as the man she was expecting gave her flowers and invited her to dinner.

Amidst the overflow of excitement, his car window was knocked. He quickly lowered the glass, "What's up, Mom?"

"Your phone is missing" Alka told her.

"Sorry troublesome, thank you," he said.

"Yes, equally. Shireen, why are your cheeks red?"

Shireen held her cheeks with both palms.

"Are you sick?"

"No, Mas. Then I say goodbye," Shireen smiled and hurriedly raised her window.

Shireen saw his face in the rearview mirror that was in the car, "Yes, right. My face is red, just be ashamed. So, I found out I was so happy." He also smiled.
