Bachelor Series 2: Oscar Anderson

Chapter 21

Natalie POV

Busy ako sa pag titrim ng mga bulaklak ng marinig ko na tumunog ang bell

Hudyat na may pumasok na customer kaya itinabi ko muna ang mga bulaklak at agad na inasikaso ang bagong pasok na customer

"Bonjour, welcome to Livraison de Fleur maam" nakangiti kung sabi at ngumiti naman ito pabalik

"Hi, bonjour, do you have a flower bridal bouquets here?" the customer walked in, looking a bit overwhelmed by the vibrant selection.

"Yes, we have ready-made bouquets, but you can also customize one if you prefer. Sometimes, it's nice to create something unique" sagot ko at iginiya siya sa mga rack ng mga bridal bouquet

"I still dont know what flower suit me.. Ahmm maybe you can recommend me something?" sabi naman ng customer at halata talaga sa mukha nito na hindi niya alam ang pipiliin

My thoughts drifted momentarily. I often found myself dreaming of Oscar, imagining what their life could have been if she hadn't left. 

Baka kasal na sila ngayon, at siya sana ang pumipili ng mga bulaklak para sa kanilang kasal

"Just follow your heart maam. Think of a flower that holds a special meaning or connection for you. Sometimes, it's about what feels right rather than what looks perfect" I smile warmly 

The customer pondered for a moment, then a smile lit up her face

"I'd like a customized bouquet. Could you help me with that?"

"Of course. What kind of flowers do you have in mind?" she nodded

"I was thinking of purple roses with irises surrounding them."

 "That's a beautiful choice. Purple roses symbolize love at first sight and did you know that irises represent wisdom and respect?"

"I didn't know that. It's perfect. Our love story began with love at first sight, so the purple roses really fit" the customer looked suprise as she looked at me

"Love at first sight, huh? That sounds like a wonderful story" sabi ko naman at nakita ko ang pamumula ng customer

"Yes, it was. We met at a friend's party, and it was like we were the only two people in the room" kinilig naman ako sa kwento nito pero hindi ko rin maiwasang mainggit. My heart ached with a mixture of joy and sorrow, thinking of my own lost love

 "That's beautiful. I'm sure they'll love this bouquet. When and where would you like it delivered?" tanong ko at kumuha ng papel para isulat ang mga impormasyon

"Three days from now, to a small café by the river" sagot ng customer at ipinasulat ko na rin ang kanyang number 

""Perfect. I'll make sure it's delivered on time. The price will be €75" the customer handed her the money, gratitude shining in her eyes.

"Thank you. You've been very helpful."

"It was my pleasure. Have a wonderful day."

As the customer left, I sighed, glancing at the roses and irises. I wondered if Oscar was thinking of her too. With a heavy heart, she returned to arranging the flowers, each petal a reminder of the love she once had and the future she still dreamed of

Oo iniisip ako ni Oscar pero siguro ay galit ito sa akin pati na rin siguro ang kapatid, kaibigan at pamilya ni Oscar ay galit sa kanya

Sumasakit ang puso niya sa isipan na iyon pero ginagawa naman niya ang lahat para makauwi siya, nag iipon siya pero hindi pa talaga iyon sapat dahil hindi lang naman kasi ako ang uuwi
