Flower...from..?

Receiving flowers is something when you are a girl....Everybody will be flocking around to know who is that special someone? What type of flower is it? How many stalk are there? What is the intention..? It synonomous with many events of life, valentine, first love, graduation, birthday, marriage or even death. Flower do play some roles in creating emotions, effect, conveying meesages and feeling, or just a mere beautification elements. Saying that, flower is flower...the god's beautiful unique creation.....that is made for all sort of reasons, depending on what ones to hold to...

I can count with fingers how many time i received flowers before.. Ohh just let say...i only need my two big thumb for that. Yupp, I received flower twice. The first time, from the family....during my graduation. It was blue roses with a bear sticking out from it. The flower was a saver, putting me equal with other graduates who were having at least one on their lap. Thanks my family for being thoughful,,..It turned out as a very good prop for the photoshoot....Remember the little younger ariff was crying and cat fighting with me for the "sticky" bear ....

The second flower was from Cik Ani, for the same occasion, but was delayed a few days after that. A smaller version, with red and pink roses, just nicely done to congratulate my Doctor title.

And that was the two events....Neither valentine, nor etc etc ...that I received flowers after or before that...Until today...

The phone rang,..abah called from downstairs.."Li kat mana?".."Li kat bilik kat atas..".."Turun kejap kat bawah cepat"abah requested me to go down.....I went down to Bilik TV, abah mak and kak ina was lying on the sofa. "Li jap lagi ader orang tepon..li angkat..".....I asked why and who..."Dia nak mintak alamat rumah....nak hantar bunga kat li.."....

Hearing that words, my heart stopped...for few seconds.. What bunga?...From whom? Why...? For me...R u serious...? Abah and Mak were both suprised as well. So as we sat there, trying to break the code..of Why, What and Who..? But i guess the real question that everybody especially me want to know is who... Mak even said.."siapa yang bagi bunga ni li, if perempuan, kita terus hantar pinangan laa!".... I have no Idea...no a clue ... But i guess it must be for my birthday...So it can be anybody....The florist had some problem to locate the house...that's why we know the flower is coming despite the appearance of it....I decided, let see what written there...



As the flower making it way throught the gate, no much clue in it. " DR ADLI ALI, BEST WISHES ON YOUR BIRTHDAY" Such a very common wish, without any signature, nor name, or nickname. Even the handwriting, is not familiar looking. "Ini bunga dari siapa yer?" "Dia dari mana?" all the questions were negatively answered with .."Tak tahulah...saya hantar bunga aja"....

I brought in the flower, mak and abah continued with their puzzle solving. "Hmmm....must be someone older and with money, and thoughful person"mak said. "The person knows that U like white lily and gerbera" "It can still be your patient, because the Dr Adli Ali" "Bunga from Jinjang South, tuh kat kepong"abah said...... It is not just them...I were solving the equation myself, if a drug compnay, must have signage, same goes if from Clinic, Department or fellow collegues.

I showed the flower to Kak Ina who was sleeping, she barely open her eyes. The opposite reaction from Ya and Jani.."Cantiknnya, bunga nih laa ya nak for graduation" ya commented while looking at the gerbera. "Wah..abang li ader stalker"jani giving her comment.

So....here the flower beside my bed...3 pairs of red bright roses, 3 glooming white scented lily, and stunning red gerberas. Simple yet sweetly done arrangement. The intention is rather straightforward, to wish for a happy birthday. Yet the puzzle of who is it from, will have a huge impact on the future outcome....

Yet for now.....I am happily greatefully happy with the flowers...the 3rd flower in my life....yet the most significantly and unexpectedly meaningful....

To the person...thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers...

Saying that...it is not just young girl, who will be excited receiving flower like this....I am too.....!!!
