daisies & chamomile
He entered the suite, his grip firm around the bouquet of white tulips.
Kenan Dragomir
(sat on couch)
As he strode in, his movements carried the weight of the day—measured, yet brimming with restrained frustration. He sank onto the couch, exhaling sharply..
Asaph(secretory)
Sir that-
(gaze fell on bouquet)
Kenan Dragomir
Why did you stop talking? speak ..
(looked at him)
Asaph(secretory)
Sir, actually while we were interrogating that man, He tried to harm himself by ingesting a poisonous capsule hidden in his teeth...
Asaph(secretory)
we gave him medical care, but he might stay unconscious for at least 2,3 days...
(hesitated)
Kenan Dragomir
The sooner I try to wrap this up, the more it turns into a mess,
( muttered under his breath)
and then he strode towards his room irritably
Kenan Dragomir
damn it..!!
(closed door aggressively)
He tossed his jacket and bouquet on the bed angrily
His gaze fell on a vase near the window
The same flowers from yesterday… placed there carefully, as if someone had given them a home rather than letting them wither away.
Kenan Dragomir
Secretary Asaph...!!!
(shout)
He appeared like djinn at KD's furious shout
Asaph(secretory)
Yes Sir?
(became afraid)
Kenan Dragomir
what's this?
(gestured at vase)
Asaph(secretory)
Sir, actually I found these red tulips beautiful and...umm put these flowers in the vase, so that they don't get rotten soon...
Kenan Dragomir
(slowly strode towards vase)
Asaph(secretory)
I'm sorry if it bothered you, Sir. I can throw these in-
Kenan lifted a hand slightly, stopping him mid-sentence...
Kenan Dragomir
No it's fine... you can leave...
(looking at flowers)
Asaph(secretory)
Goodnight Sir...
(left from there)
Kenan Dragomir
(continued looking at tulips)
After a long moment, he finally turned back toward the bed, where the white tulips lay scattered—some petals slightly crumpled from his earlier carelessness
Something stirred within him
He stepped closer, his fingers reaching out instinctively, as if drawn by some invisible force
Kenan Dragomir
(picked a White tulip)
He Collected those white tulips from bed
Carefully, almost reverently, he gathered the white tulips into his hands.
And then came back to the vase
and started putting those white tulips in that same vase with red tulips
Kenan Dragomir
(carefully assembling tulips in vase)
One by one, he nestled the white tulips amongst the red. His touch was uncharacteristically gentle, as if he were arranging something fragile—something precious.
His gaze lingered on the mingling colors—red and white, bold and soft, passion and purity intertwined.
A small, almost imperceptible smile ghosted over his lips. His fingers traced the petals lightly, before he finally turned away.
Kenan Dragomir
(touched white tulips with a smile)
Then he stepped back with a deep breath and went to the Washroom to change into night trousers
Kenan Dragomir
(closed bathroom door)
And as the door clicked shut behind him, the vase stood there, holding the silent contradiction of a man who never kept flowers—yet couldn't bring himself to throw them away
The next day, he found himself at the seashore once again... Whether it was coincidence or something else entirely, he didn't bother to question. His feet simply carried him there.
after looking around for some moments, he finally found that white Angel again..
Charlotte Aldrich
(plucking Flowers)
Chéri was kneeling amidst wildflowers, carefully plucking them one by one.
A soft breeze played with the strands of her hair, making them dance in the morning sunlight.
He saw that she was so intensely busy in her activity that she didn't notice his presence despite the passage of some moments...
Kenan Dragomir
(looking at her with a smile on his lips)
Kenan stood there for a moment, hands shoved in his pockets, watching her in silence. There was something oddly peaceful about the sight—something he wasn't used to feeling.
Charlotte Aldrich
(carefully putting flowers in basket)
Charlotte Aldrich
(flinched badly)
Kenan Dragomir
I..I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to scare you...
Charlotte Aldrich
(took a deep breath to calm herself)
it's fine, Sir...
Kenan Dragomir
So...what are you doing? Stealing flowers?
(teasing tone)
Charlotte Aldrich
I beg your pardon?
(looked at him with frown)
Kenan Dragomir
(realized his stupid words)
*why the hell I always blabber around her foolishly*
Charlotte Aldrich
these grew in a public place, and these flowers aren't under a specific person's ownership..
Charlotte Aldrich
So it's not stealing...!
(bothered)
Her words carried a subtle sharpness, like a thorn hidden beneath soft petals.
Kenan sighed inwardly. He had done it again—managed to annoy her within seconds.
Kenan Dragomir
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I.. just joked around..
(chuckled with awkwardness)
Charlotte Aldrich
Sir, I don't think we are that close to joking around...
Kenan Dragomir
*damn it, Kenan*
Charlotte Aldrich
How may I help you?
(cold tone)
Kenan Dragomir
Umm I.. actually-
(scratched forehead with his index finger)
Kenan Dragomir
yeah, I want these Daisies...
(looked at her basket)
He pointed at the flowers which she just plucked..
Charlotte Aldrich
(looked at him intensely with frown brows)
Kenan Dragomir
I will pay..!!
(said immediately)
Charlotte Aldrich
(furrowed brows)
Kenan Dragomir
(slapped his forehead)
*why do I become puzzled near her* 🤦🏻♂️
Kenan Dragomir
I'm sorry... I didn't mean that way .. Please don't get me wrong again)
(said in one breath)
Charlotte Aldrich
(chuckled)
For the first time that morning, a small chuckle escaped her lips.
She wasn't laughing at him—just amused.
Kenan Dragomir
(looked at her face instantly)
Charlotte Aldrich
Please wait, I'll make a bouquet of these chamomile for you ..
(squat down)
He also squatted down in front of her
Kenan Dragomir
Chamomile? Aren't these Daisies?
(picked a flower from basket)
Charlotte Aldrich
these are a bit different from daisies, but yes...also belong to the Daisy family...
(assembling bouquet)
Kenan Dragomir
Oh, Botany is interesting...
(swirling flower between his index finger and thumb)
Charlotte Aldrich
yes, indeed....
(took flower from his finger)
And when she took the flower from his hand, her fingers slightly touched Kenan's fingers too
Her fingers—soft, warm—brushed against his.
Kenan Dragomir
(heart skipped a beat at her touch)
Charlotte Aldrich
(looking at his face)
And for the first time, neither of them looked away.
Kenan Dragomir
(continued looking in her eyes)
The air between them stilled, the world around them quieting.
Her fingertips still lingered against his, but neither moved.
Charlotte Aldrich
Umm... Your bouquet is ready, Sir
(stood up with flustered face)
Kenan Dragomir
(stood up silently)
His gaze flickered from the bouquet in her hands to her face.
For some reason, the flowers suddenly felt like the least important thing he had come for.
