I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 48 - The Meeting



After taking Linda to her part-time workplace, Anne continued her journey to a flower garden on the outskirts of London owned by a flower farmer who usually supplied flowers to shops in town. Anne got the address of this flower farmer from Mr. August. Even though the flower farmer actually said that he would still supply flowers to Mr. August's shop which was now owned by Anne, she still wanted to meet the supplier in person, she felt that she had to get acquainted in person. Anne wanted to build a good relationship with the flower farmer as a form of courtesy. Anne finally arrived at her destination after driving for almost an hour.

"Whoa, this flower garden looks so beautiful," said Anne in shock when she saw the vast expanse of beautiful flowers in front of her. ??

Without waiting longer, Anne then parked her car in the designated parking lot. Anne then stepped into a simple wooden house near the flower field after making sure her car was parked properly. Anne's arrival was immediately welcomed by Mrs. Mary, the owner of the flower field. Then, they talked while sitting on the chairs not far from the wooden house which became a temporary shelter for Mrs. Mary and her husband named Mr. Albert, when they were gardening.

Anne also conveyed her intention to come to the flower garden owned by a farmer couple who was no longer young. Mrs. Mary and her husband only smiled after listening to Anne's explanation. They were very happy that there were still young people who have courtesy like Anne. She was willing to come all the way from London to meet them in person. After talking for almost an hour, Anne finally excused herself because the day was getting darker. She did not want to drive late at night because she had not memorized the road well. She was lucky to get to his destination assisted by the GPS in her car.

"Once again, I want to say thank you to both of you for the dinner. I am very fortunate to have received such a warm and extraordinary welcome from you both," said Anne quietly as she reached out to Mrs. Mary's hand.

"We are glad that young people like you are still willing to come to this place to meet us in person, it turns out that what Mr. August said was true. The new owner of his flower shop is a polite and kind girl," said Mrs. Mary with a warm smile.

"Yes, Miss Anne, we are the lucky ones to meet someone like you. Don't worry, the flowers that we will send are definitely the best quality flowers in this field, so you don't need to worry about that," added Mr. Albert kindly in response to his wife's words.

Anne smiled at the words of the husband and wife who were in front of her. Anne soon left the beautiful place on the main road using her car. The sun that was about to set showed a very beautiful and soothing sight for Anne who was driving her car on the highway to London alone. Accompanied by the songs from her favorite boy band, Anne enjoyed her trip back to her apartment.

"Luckily, Mrs. Mary made a lot of food and even gave me some of them so I didn't have to buy dinner on the way home," said Anne gratefully, staring at a box of food beside her. It turned out that Mrs. Mary did not only serve dinner for Anne but she also packed some food for her to eat at home.

At first, Anne wanted to refuse, but she felt uncomfortable after Mrs. Mary forced her to accept it. She wanted to refuse the food that had been packed by Mrs. Mary because the couple had served her dinner. She was really hesitant to bring food to London. Anne drove her car at high speed since the road was not crowded. She felt uneasy on the highway alone at dusk like this. Since there was no other car heading to London, Anne did not have any difficulties to drive on the highway. She had also filled up the gasoline in her car while she was in the flower garden area owned by Mrs. Mary and Mr. Albert. That way she did not need to refuel it in the middle of her trip back to London.

Meanwhile, in his car, Aaron looked patiently waiting for Anne's departure, he stopped at the parking area of ??the apartment complex, where he got the address from a lecturer at UAL. Although the address given by the lecturer had not been confirmed yet, he did not care at all. Aaron was patiently waiting for Anne in his car while enjoying the burger and fries he bought before coming to Anne's apartment.

"You've made me wait for almost two hours, Anne. Don't make me wait longer! Don't say this too will be wasted effort, you should come right in front of my eyes," Aaron said softly as he wiped his lips with a tissue when he was done enjoying the junk food for dinner.

Aaron glanced at the Audemars Piguet watch which had a price of 83,300 USD. Tonight, Aaron wore one of the many expensive watches from his watch collection. He was still trying to patiently wait for Anne. This was the first time that Aaron Sean Connery had to wait for a woman for nearly two hours without certainty. He did not even know her cell phone number, to begin with.

"You must be patient, Aaron. You've been waiting for months, two hours will feel like a minute. So don't give up huaahhh why I suddenly feel so sleepy?" Aaron muttered quietly as he closed his mouth, drowsiness began to attack Aaron who had just finished eating. He then leaned back on the chair after he arranged it in such a way as to make it comfortable to sleep for a moment.

After driving at high speed, Anne finally lowered the speed of her car when she entered the center of London. Anne did not stop her car at all during the trip and she felt less anxious when she arrived in the city.

"Thank God for taking care of me," said Anne gratefully as she stopped her car in front of a busy bakery.

Slowly, Anne grabbed the mineral water bottle that was beside her and drank it quickly without leaving a single drop. Anne got very thirsty after driving for almost two hours non-stop.

"It looks like I have to take someone with me when I go to that place again, it feels scary to drive on the road alone," said Anne softly as she opened the lunchbox that Mrs. Mary had given her, the worms in her stomach had been protesting for food since on the highway an hour ago. However, Anne decided to hold her hunger for the next hour because she was afraid to stop in the middle of nowhere at night.

After finishing the food from the owner of the flower garden she had just visited, she then continued her journey again to the apartment. Drowsiness suddenly came when her stomach was filled with food.

"I have to get to the apartment as soon as possible, this sleepiness is unbearable," said Anne softly as she drove her car to the apartment carefully, colliding with the lights of another car in front of her, making her eyes got tired quickly and she got even more sleepy.

Thirty minutes later, Anne finally arrived at her apartment, her smile got wider when she saw her room in sight. After parking the car properly, Anne got out and walked towards her apartment, but only two steps from the car Anne stopped immediately when someone touched her shoulder from behind.

"Anne ..." called a man softly.

Deg

Anne's heart beat very fast when she heard someone called her name from behind because the voice was very familiar to her. Anne slowly turned her head back to see the person who called her name, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands when she saw the figure of the man in front of her.

"You ..."

"Yes, it's me ..."

"Aaron ... you're Aaron, right?!" shouted Anne loudly cutting Aaron's words.

"Yes, I'm Aaron," replied the mysterious man who turned out to be Aaron, smiling.

"Oh my God Aaron, I can't believe we meet again in London. Oh yeah, I apologize for not informing you about my move," said Anne regretfully.

Aaron smiled at Anne's words, he then grabbed Anne's face which was looking at the ground using his fingers gently.

"I'm sure you must have your own reasons at that time, that is why I'm not angry with your sudden decision at all. In fact, I am now very happy to see you again like this, Anne," said Aaron softly.

"Why don't you get mad at me?" asked Anne briefly.

"Why should I be angry? The most important thing is that you are safe and happy, wherever you are now. That's enough for me, Anne," Aaron replied softly with a smile, Aaron's eyes shone with immense happiness when he could meet Anne again. He wanted to hug Anne right now but Aaron held him back so that Anne wouldn't get mad at him.

Anne's smile grew at Aaron's words, her awkwardness after meeting Aaron tonight disappeared instantly.

Blarrr

A flash of lightning suddenly came from the sky. It made an instant light that startled Anne, she then jumped towards Aaron who was in front of her.

"It's okay, it's just lightning, Anne," whispered Aaron softly as he hugged Anne.

"I'm afraid of lightning," said Anne softly in a trembling voice.
