20. — wishing (welcome back!!!)

@factoriprince said: 20 for drabblee

one word writing prompts | 20— wishing.

“so, what are your plans for the future?”

it begins with a simple question, asked for the sake of filling in an awkward silence between a group of children with little in common and no personal connection to one another.

thorton, the oldest, takes her and lucy’s pause as an invitation to answer the question first. he’s all clear eyes and dressed up ambition, and he doesn’t hesitate to describe his plans. “once i finish school, i’m going to build a technological empire.” as he speaks, moon watches him with mild interest. he definitely has the intellect to achieve his dream, and she wonders if the next time she meets him, he’ll be one of those high-flying CEOs, all starched suits and polished brilliance. he continues to ramble on about his desire to invent and innovate, until lucy interrupts him mid-sentence. “i plan on following my brother’s footsteps and joining the international police,” she declares, arms crossed. while thorton is all cool intensity, lucy is bright hot determination. she’s a little too pushy for moon’s tastes, but she recognizes the wide-eyed adoration that lucy holds for her older brother. lucy’s got high expectations for herself but has proven time and time again that she’s capable of putting in the work to reach her goals– moon admires her drive, even if she doesn’t appreciate the girl’s moodiness.

“and what about you, moon?”

three pairs of eyes turn to meet her own and moon is overwhelmed by a sudden wave of panic. standing in the presence of such big dreams makes her feel small, insignificant.

“uhhh…”

she’s only fourteen and people expect her to have her life together, planned out to a t. she knows she desperately wants to be someone, wants to make a name for herself, wants to leave behind a legacy to be proud of— it’s just the how that leaves her feeling helplessly lost.

she’s not like hau, with his perpetual optimism and his constant drive to improve. she’s not like lillie either, who still finds the strength to be warm and kind and forgive, despite all that she’s suffered at the hands of her mother. in the beginning, she thought maybe she could find some camaraderie in gladion, but all those thoughts flew out the window the moment he ran into the fray at aether paradise to confront his demons head on.

they’re expecting her to answer, to detail some equally enterprising goal, but moon comes up empty. she doesn’t know where she’s headed, is pretty sure that all she’s accomplished at this point is the result of following other people’s adventures in lack of her own. she falters, considers weaving an elaborate lie about how she intends to become an architect or an astronaut or anything rather than saying i don’t know.

lying is more trouble than its worth so in lieu of offering the truth, she deflects. “do you ever wish that it was possible to push the fast-forward button and skip all the boring parts until you get to the part where you’ve gotten everything figured out?”

thorton frowns at her and starts to explain why its logistically impossible for such a device to even exist, while lucy huffs and rolls her eyes as he rants.

moon tries to find the nearest exit.

Shukaaaaaa, Happy Birthdaaaaaaayyyyy~!! XD

May you enjoy~ :D

 3…

2…

1…

And the minute and hour hand shifts to 12midnight; signalling the change of day.

It’s a Friday.

It’s the 16th of August.

It’s Saitou Shuka’s birthday.

Anju immediately looks up from where she was fidgeting on her spot beside the birthday girl’s bed, her thumb touching the screen of her phone as she does so, to be the first to send that birthday message to Shuka. It was usually really hard to be first. Aikyan made it hard.

“Shuka.” The name rolled off her tongue without a thought. And Anju hurries to add, “Happy Birthday.”

She’s first right? She’s the first one to wish Shuka happy birthday right? Shuka’s mum or dad or brothers didn’t open the door and wish Shuka a happy birthday when she was calling Shuka’s name and being lost in the girl’s eyes for a second right?

Shuka’s smile pulls higher and widens into her full blown, signature, megawatt smile and she giggles. Hands on her feet that was connected by the soles and rocking front and back as she purposefully ignores her phone that had a blinking notification. “Thanks~”

“Shuka…” Anju’s lips kept twitching in nervousness; she wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because of her smile that can’t keep still just like how her heart can’t that’s making the brunette chuckle.

“What’s up, Anju?” Shuka’s already huge smile grows another few millimetres bigger.

Anju swallows, her eyes shifting to the room door before it meets Shuka’s twinkling ones. “Was I…first?”

Shuka leans forwards so much that Anju couldn’t help but wonder how Shuka didn’t topple over. But if Anju had any thought of commenting about it, those thoughts went poof the moment Shuka reaches over to take her hand in hers oh so gently.

Shuka’s thumb caressing the back of her hand sending chills down her spine and delivering a calming effect at the same time; as opposite those feelings were, those was what Shuka made her feel from that simple touch.

“You are first. First to wish me happy birthday. First to look at 23 year old me. First to hold hands with this 23 year old Shuka!” The bubbly girl does a short bounce before stretching out her other hand and shaking it to make a point.

Anju takes in a breath, feeling the weight of panic leave her shoulders and she reaches her free hand out to take Shuka’s offered.

Once Anju's hand was in hers, Shuka pulls Anju up from the floor and onto the bed with her, giggling silly at Anju's surprised yelp and gentle glare. "Hehehe~ First to see me laugh too~"

Anju stares dumbfounded; the sight of Shuka laughing and smiling carefree-ly, up close, just took Anju's breath away and made her brain scramble about inside in search for words but unable to piece together anything.

"An..." Shuka says softly when she noticed her girlfriend being weirdly quiet and just staring her like that... Eyes channeling so much love out of them it made Shuka blush too.

"Good." Anju breaks the minute of awkward and embarrassing silence.

"Eh?"

"Good..." Anju repeats before lowering her gaze to the bed then back at Shuka shyly. "Good that I'm the first for everything."

Anju smiles and Shuka's heart did a bunch of happy skips; her girlfriend's small but full of pride smile just did those things to her.

Shuka made a squished up smile and pout face that made Anju snort. "What's with that face?"

Shuka shakes her head, her hair flailing about which made Anju's hand twitch in Shuka's, as part of her wanted to reach over to touch them.

"I don't know." Shuka answers with a chuckle.

"What kind of reply..." Anju does a soft glare again, subconsciously holding Shuka's hand tighter.

"Hehe...hehehehe~" Shuka's body vibrates with laughter as she smiled huge and never once broke eye contact with Anju. Then, much to Anju's upset, Shuka throws her hand in air which spells the end of their connected hands.

But Shuka was always so random and spontaneous and surprising Anju in all ways good. Which she does again tonight by falling backwards, her legs stretching out to each of Anju's side. And Anju found herself mesmerized by Shuka once more. "Shuka..."

"Join me, An~" Shuka smiles a lazy yet cheeky smile from where she lay on the bed. One hand resting on her stomach and the other reaching up for Anju to take.

Anju huffs out her nose noisily; she can't say no to that. She doesn't want to either. Shuka really was an expert at getting whatever she wants; is something Anju experiences and confirms the more she spends time with this illegally adorable existence known as Saitou Shuka.

Anju, however, loves being in control, so she ignores Shuka's outreached hands and puts both hand of hers on each side of Shuka's head. Lowering her body closer while wearing a predatory grin. "Don't regret asking me to join you... Shuka..." Anju purrs low.

Red spread across Shuka's cheeks immediately after but she doesn't look away. "I won't..."

Anju's gaze soften as it travels down Shuka's nose to those alluring red lips. Anju takes a breath to steady her racing heart and she drops low to Shuka's ear. "I'm going to kiss you...Okay?"

Shuka shudders in anticipation as she reaches up to tug Anju's hoodie. "Mmph..." Shuka blinks a few times, clearly nervous despite wanting Anju's kiss.

Anju takes a whiff of Shuka's scent as discreetly as she could, Shuka knew but Shuka doesn't comment. And she hovered above Shuka, their faces a mere centimetre apart. Anju licks her lips for moisture. "I'm going to..." Anju murmurs.

Shuka blinks an okay, head shifting up in the slightest, her body giving full consent.

And their lips meet.

Anju closes that distance and lets out a pleased mew at being able to feel how soft Shuka's lips are this special day. Being the first. Being the only.

Shuka's hand wraps around Anju's back without a thought to tug Anju closer to kiss more. "Mm...An..."

"Shuka..." Anju breathes on Shuka's mouth, her own face a bright red from their rather passionate kiss. "H-Happy birthday."

Shuka laughs. "You're saying that again now?" The birthday girl chuckles where she lays below Anju.

Anju thinks she's never seen anyone this beautiful and she kisses Shuka once more out of impulse. Pulling back quickly to cough awkwardly. "Y-Yeah...It is your birthday..."

Shuka breaks into a silly-happy, trademark megawatt smile of hers. "It is~ I'm a happy birthday girl~"

Anju laughs at that wordplay. "That's good..." Anju moves to lay beside Shuka.

And Shuka was quick to wriggle and snuggle close. Both resting in each other's arms.

"You're not gonna check your messages?" Anju asks after a time of cuddling Shuka.

"Mm... No. I wanna soak up lots of Anju-love first." Shuka moves her head lying against Anju’s chest so Anju can see her cheeky grin.

Anju rolls her eyes and hugs Shuka tighter. "Mm... ..." Anju's blush was apparent without Shuka having to see it; she could hear it, feel it. And Shuka loves that; thinking her birthday this year is going to be one of her best. After all, she has Anju with her.

My Online Flower Shop -loremaison.id

Flower is indeed a happiness

- said the 22 years old, Suci Marini

Whooa. it’s been a really long time since I take blog writing seriously again. hehe.

Writing is one of my virtue, but the working hours and my master college routines kind of making my life into a cycle. It suddenly becomes my ultimate excuse for being lazy to write or READ (I was once a bookworm) :D - not good!

Well, this year, I promise my self to write more! Because, I am going to write my master thesis and it needs practice. Writing needs practice indeed. Blog writing is a practice.

For my first serious post in 2017. I am going to tell you about my online flower shop. I named it Lore Maison. Why so? Lore (based on the majestic translate.google.com) is a...I believed it was Belarusian word for flower, I remember it well BUT when I did a doublecheck for this post, it suddenly showed another thing. Ha! Lore is flower, that’s what I know, as for the origin of the language, that! I think I forget. Maison? Maison is a French for House. So, my shop name is ‘House of Flower’ or...that’s what I intend to communicate. 

My interest for flower started back in 2014, when I was still in Jogja, taking my undergraduate degree. I still remember it started when I attended a wedding reception and took several flowers home (They were Gerbera-s, but I mistook them to be CHRYSANT)

It was my first arrangement. Well, I was not entirely wrong. There were also chrysants, but the focal was gerberas, with a pinch of phoenix and aster. Those were common flowers you would see in Indonesian weddings. 

And I fulfilled my plan to grant my self a flower arrangement in my dorm. Like these two pics I put below, 

Fast forward to early 2015, I started a business with my bestie, one of the core is flower arranging. I started it because, at that time, the trend of Jogja’s flower arranging is so...uhm, not my kind of style. Because, the florist is not an artist, they just selling the flower, so the composition or the wrapping is not something I fancy. I was a noob back then. Total noob. Haha, but I realizd that flower arranging gives me pleasure. After graduated, I tried to take orders, but nobody is actually ordering HAHAHA. They asked as they interested, but none of them took it seriously.So, I just doing the arrangement as a hobby.

I actually feel happy, because back in my hometown, the variety of flowers are more than I ever found in Jogja. Here, I could buy Baby’s Breath, Ruscus, Solidago, Baby rose, Sunflower, Carnation, Snapdragon...all for relatively cheaper price than in Jogja (or is it merely because I don’t know the supplier?)

In December 2015, I decided to open Lore Maison. And started to took orders for Mother’s Day. The reaction was unexpected. The orders were coming. I learned things as I took orders. My officemate, told me several basic techniques about flowers and how to treat them so they can last longer. Before that, I disappointed her because my flower could not last long enough. She is very kind to tell me those things, she also complimented my style of arranging and even believed me to arrange her bouquet on engangement day, 

These were the example of my arranging. The left picture above was my logo. 

Was? Yup, because I rebranded Lore Maison. Why? Because I forgot the password for the instagram and...Line@. Hehehe. I closed my store for approx. 2 months, and started making new logo as I found that I’d prefer a monochrome logo.

And not long ago, I asked my friend’s help to make my logo a bit better, so now, I am using this logo as the trademark :

Spot the different? Hehe

My biggest ‘learning by doing’ experience was pricing. I am bad at calculating my outcome for flowers and putting the price. As the flower prices in the market is showing the tendency for fluctuating. So, I always work based on my client’s budget and feel uneasy to charge them in high prices because I opened my flower shop because I wanna spread happines (it supposed to be accessible for everyone). Therefore, in some orders, I didn’t gain any profit. 

It is a business btw, so I still need to make a profit. I finally found a way...to exclude the delivery fee from their budget. So, the budget alone is for me buying the flowers. Well, in some orders, I still feel bad to decline and did not think about its profit anyway. 

I love flowers just too much and profit comes second. But, if I want to survive, this needs to turn into a better strategy. 

Still a long way to go...to become more advanced florist. And I will never stop learning. 

Oh! I promised my self to open a tumblr for Lore Maison. I did make one yet its content is still a homwork for me to do. Hehe
