The Retaliation of the CEO's Wife and the Idol
CHAPTER 8: THE FLORIST

“Kak Ega find who?” chirps Aluna so found Ega who looked dizzy after styling Aluna's hair. Feeling intimidated, Ega immediately tidied up her equipment to distract.

“I haven't seen Nathan since. Some of my equipment was left in the photo studio the other day and I asked Nathan to bring it,” Ega said as she rolled up the hair dryer cord she had just finished using to style Aluna's hair.

“kak Ega don't know yet? Iko was hospitalized for a hair dye allergy the other day, so Nathan took the day off until Iko recovered. His irritation was severe enough that he had to undergo intensive care,” as long as Aluna who immediately stopped the movement of Ega's hand that was still busy rolling the cable. Ega's concerns about Iko's allergic reaction eventually ensue.

“So you performed solo today?” ask Ega to Aluna. The beautiful girl nodded while opening her phone, then showed a picture of her visiting Iko at the hospital. In the photo that he has uploaded on his social media account, it appears Iko is sitting with a reddening wound that is quite wide spread around his temple. In the post, it was clear that Aluna wrote a short message ‘Lekas cured starku’ which at the bottom was flooded with hundreds of thousands of comments containing positive support and love signs from the idol duo's fans. Whether we realize it or not, it doesn't seem like the photo is what Aluna really wants to show Ega, but the fan support for the romance of their relationship both represented in the photo upload is the main reason.

“Ah, the irony is quite serious. It is definitely impossible for him to keep performing in such circumstances,” concluded Ega while putting all the equipment into his black suitcase.

“Kak Ega didn't visit him?” ask Aluna plain.

“I'll see him if you allow it,” Pungkas Ega brief.

“If not?” the girl nodded with a little smile.

“Then I'm not going anywhere. Simple, ‘kan?” ega replied which followed a melodious laughter from Aluna's mouth.

“Of course you can, Brother. I was just kidding. Nathan's brother, Bagas, and all the crew have come to see him since yesterday. Only Kak Ega has not been seen,” concluded Aluna explained. Ega nodded small while smiling knots. “I'll visit him after this,” close it.

Ega stopped his car at a flower shop with a graceful vintage interior design. The front of the flower shop was filled with blooming bougenville flowers and almost covered the entire right and left sides of the entrance. Slowly he entered the flower shop measuring no less than twenty square meters, and immediately his presence was warmly welcomed by a beautiful woman with long curls tied high. The beautiful woman was wearing a broken white midi dress with a brown apron covering the front of her body.

“Ega! What wind are you coming here?” said the beautiful woman while gently shaking Ega's hand and landing a kiss on the right and left cheek. The woman is Tasya, a college friend of Ega and Evan during college first. They used to know quite close, but the busyness of each makes the two rarely communicate.

“You're healthy right, Bag?” asked Ega while walking slowly observing the beautiful lined flowers filling the room.

“As you can see. I am always happy with my flowers,” concluded Tasya while choosing several types of flowers that are in accordance with Ega's request.

“You yourself healthy ‘kan?” Tasya turned around to ask. Ega nodded while pulling a white rose and inhaling its scent deeply.

“Anyone will definitely be healthy if you have a handsome husband who diligently gives a rose arrangement,” always Tasya to the woman who immediately makes Ega a little surprised.

“So all this time she ordered the flowers here?” ask Ega not to think. Tasya nodded in satisfaction because she was happy to see Ega so united by her husband who often ordered flower arrangements.

“Which you hold is her order, you know it is very difficult to get white roses these days, but your husband just keeps asking for it,” Tasya said as he began arranging the flowers in his grasp. Hearing that instantly made Ega shocked. ‘White rose?’ inner Ega realized that all this time Evan had never given her a white rose, but rather a red rose as he had given her the other day. Instantly Ega's esophagus was blocked, making it difficult to swallow. His heart and mind began to spring up thoughts that he did not want.

“Like this, does it match what you want?” Tasya asked while showing the results of the flower arrangement. While Ega was still fixated with thoughts in his head.

“Ga? Ega?” call Tasya to break Ega's daydream.

“Ah, how?” ask Ega so realized. Tasya again showed the flower arrangement to Ega, and the woman nodded in agreement.  Before long Ega received the network, completed the payment and said goodbye.

“Often come here and wait for a surprise from your husband today,” said Tasya so farewell. On her way to the hospital to visit Iko, prejudice about her husband begins to emerge. ‘Your husband is not what you think so far,’ instantly Iko's words again ring in Ega's ears. His mind began to be chaotic until he did not realize that the car he was driving almost ran through a red light. With deft feet level stepped on the brakes to stop the speed of his car, resulting in several vehicles behind him also stopped their vehicles suddenly. The noise of the horn in the back as a form of protest over Ega's reckless actions, made the woman's mind even more tired.

“Could it, Evan?”
