The Flower Girl

One day, When I was sitting inside the coffee shop, I saw a girl stands in front of the coffee shop. The girl brought a bucket of flower. She was busy with her activity to sell the flowers. Her right hand brought the basket and the other hand brought a flower. She offered the flowers to the pedestrians, “10.000 for 1 flower mam, sir....” My eyes keep contact to that girl. Then my coffee is coming. I put a tea spoon of creamer and I stir it. After several time the girl got her customer. A man with black hat come close to her. They have short conversation, and the man bargain the price I guess. Finally the man bought hes flower and gave some money. The girl's expression was sad, but then she put the money inside the pocket and sell the flower again. Not take a long time, a lady with her daughter come. The young girl whimpered with her mother. She draw her mother's gown and point the yellow flower. Even though her daughter nag, the lady reject her daughter's request. The lady buy a lot of flower. Only some flower inside the basket now. I have finished with my coffee then I go to pay my bill in cashier. When I was wait my change, I turn my head and see what's going on with the flower girl. Owh... a young man come and look for some flower. “Sorry mam, this is your change” the cashier talk to me “Oh... thank you so much” “Your welcome, have a nice day mam” I walk in a rush to the front of coffee shop. “Too much spy with the flower girl. I must buy a flower” My heart whisper to my head The young man still stand with the flower girl. I just hear that the man ask about what kind of flower which suitable for her girlfriend. The flower girl choose the pink rose and give it to the man. Then I come to their conversation, “This flower is perfect for this valentine's day” I said “The smell and the color is match for a girl” Explain the flower girl Just in a moment, the young man take some money from his wallet. He buy the flower and said “Thank you, just wish me luck for today girls” “Yes sir. I hope you get star of luck for today” answered the flower girl Then the young man go to the north side of the coffee shop. Now it's my turn “How long you sell the flowers ?” I ask “This several years mam. Actually my uncle has a small flower shop inside that building. But on valentine's day I usually bring some flower from there and sell it just like this” “I see.. not much girl wants to do like you did today. I want some flower for my grandma. Can you choose the best flower for me?” “Of course, I'll take the best” The flower girl gives me a beautiful daisy. I pay the flower then I go to my next place. Today is just like one year ago on the same day, I'm sitting inside the coffee shop, near the glass window on valentine's day. I turn my head look outside of the coffee shop. Yes, I hope I see the flower girl again. My feeling is true. I see a girl with two buckets of flowers come to the front of coffee shop. Ooops... she is not alone. I see another person, a man. “Who is he?” my heart asks a question That man wears jacket and help the girl to bring one basket of flowers. My coffee is coming and I stirring it. When I try the coffee I feel different taste, I forget to put the creamer. It's my mistake, I'm too serious to see the two human in front of the shop. I finish the coffee faster than usual because when I look to see the man beside the flower girl, I remember that the man is the young man who buy a yellow flower. Gottcha... I get in a rush, I want to know what happen with them in one year.. I open the door of coffee shop and come to them. I smile and said “Hi.. do you still remember me?? I buy a daisy from you last year” The girl is silent for a while “Oh.. daisy for grand mother” she said I buy some flower before I ask about their relationship. When I give a question about them, they say with grimace. Then the young man gives me a big explanation. “We have just get married one moth ago” Surprise for me, because I remember that the man bought the flower for his girlfriend last year. “I broke up with my ex girlfriend, she rejected my proposal.” “Sorry, to hear that. Then how come you two become a couple?” “Just like an accident mam” The girl answer with a big smile. “After I broke up. I tried to comfort my self with the flower. I bought yellow flower everyday in her uncle's shop to solace my self. Then just in short time I get close with her” “Wow... nice story. I usually come to the coffee shop every week. I always watch public activities from the shop's window. Then I see you two guys.” Suddenly a customer come to buy a flower. I take leave the couple with a smile. I take a walk on sidewalk and take a long breath. This is the life. Unbelievable life. Sometimes, something unexpected can come in so many other way. We as an human only take the way and get flow with it. This is about life, not only the flower girl's life but everybody's life and love.
