Present Flowers Novels & Stories

Doon, sa mismong may waiting area ng mga delivery riders, may isang lalaking naka-uniform ng flower shop na may dalang bouquet na parang sinadya talaga para sa pelikula. “Miss Calista Oraba po?” tanong ng rider habang nakangiti. Hawak niya ang isang bouquet na may halong sunflower, daisy, lavender at eucalyptus—yung tipo ng bouquet na hindi sobrang engrande pero ramdam mong may laman. Kulay dilaw, lila at puti, simple pero ang ganda, parang sumisigaw ng liwanag sa gitna ng simpleng araw. “Ako po,” sagot ko, naguguluhan pa rin. “Sino po ang nagpadala?”

There is also someone who is playing with the violin in the corner. He pulled a chair for me, and I smiled because of it. "Thank you," My lips parted when he handed me a bouquet of flowers. It was a sunflower bouquet that has fairy lights on it. Did he forget that I am allergic to flowers? "I knew you're allergic to flowers. . ." he uttered as if he just read what was in my mind. "These are made with foam. You can even water them if you want." he stated. My lips parted in awe.

"Shut up, will you?" He chuckled and snaked his arms around my waist. "How's your day, babe?" I smelled the flowers he gave me from Petalier. It's a combination of fresh hydranges, peonies, and pink roses. I'm not really into roses because I prefer sunflowers more, but roses are fine, as long as it's from him. "It was fine. May huling klase pa 'ko mamayang alas kuwatro." He noded. "Okay. I'll just wait here."

"I like this one." " That one sir? The price is 15.8 million dollars. " Sagot nya, and a charming genuine smile played on his face at nilapitan ang bulaklak. " Actually, it's one of the most popular and it's also our signature piece. The Juliet rose is one of the rarest flowers after all, sir. This bouquet is a live flower. You can plant it as you please afterwards." Paliwanag nya " 15.8 million dollars?" Halos mapaubos ako and then I raised an eyebrow afterwards. " But that is a hefty price for a bunch of flowers." Sabi ko.

Tita Begie told me his condition won't lead to that. "Yna?" untag niya. "H-huh? I'm sorry..." nahihiya kong tugon. Gosh, Yna ngayon ka pa ba nahiya. Lumapit ako sa kanya. "Nowadays, the meaning of flowers aren't considered unlike before. In Victorian era, men usually send messages through flowers." kaswal kong sabi. "That's great." he murmured. "So, you mean these flowers has its own message they want to send?"

“Aba, syempre! Anong kulay ang gusto mo? Marami kang pagpipilian, ma’am.” “Titingin muna ako. Yung malalambot na kulay, halo-halo. Pagdagdagan din ng eucalyptus leaves.” “Naiintindihan ko. Bouquet or vase arrangement?” “Isang malaking bouquet.” Sa tabi niya, bahagyang kumunot ang noo ni Mateo. May alam din siya sa mga bulaklak kahit paano. “Chrysanthemums? Para sa mga patay? At ang carnations—karaniwang binibigay sa mga nakatatanda.”

natatawang sabi nito at pabiro akong pinitik sa noo. "Sorry," nagpeace sign sa akin si Innah. "I just thought na may something sa inyo since it's very meaningful when girls give a guy some flowers," paliwananag nito. "And why is that?" curious na tanong ni Luke dito. "Well, guys don't usually receive flowers during their lifetime. Most only get to receive their first flower during their funerals," sagot ni Innah na ikinatango ng karamihan. Alam kong namumula na ako ngayon dahil sa kakornihan ko at dahil nasaakin lahat ng mga mata kabilang na ang matang iniiwasan ko simula pa kanina.

Days after Thaddeus confessed, he gave me flowers. It wasn't a typical bouquet but a single bloom he picked from their garden. Thaddeus couldn't give me expensive flowers because of his status. I understood that. I didn't need those extravagant gestures, especially when I could easily buy such things for myself. What made his gifts special was the poetry he included with every flower. Each note was carefully crafted, filled with heartfelt words that made me see a different side of him. It was thoughtful, and despite everything, I still saw him as my competitor from school.

Those words made her chest tighten. Trust me. A phrase that used to be so easy. Before everything. Slowly, she closed her eyes. "Okay." She heard him move. Then... The sweet scent of flowers filled the room. "Open." Her eyes opened. And she froze. Standing in front of her was a large bouquet of pink roses. Not red. Not white. Pink. Her favorite. "You remembered." Grant looked surprised. "Of course I remembered." He handed them to her. "Pink roses mean appreciation."

Patuloy itong dumarating dahil curious ang mundo sa futuristic project namin. “I-move mo na lang sa bukas.” “Noted, sir,” mabilis na sagot ni William. Agad akong umalis ng opisina at dumaan muna sa florist para kumuha ng bouquet. Paborito niya—peach roses.
