In my dreams (ON GOING)

Jake at Evara

It was 10 o'clock in the morning & a young handsome man entered into a flower shop named " EVARA" means "the gift of God". It was the name of the flower shop which first attracts people here. And it's not just that when you go to this shop, you'll not feel as if you have come to a flower shop on the edge of the city, but you'll feel as if you have come to a beautiful valley, where different -different colorful flowers are welcoming you with their unique fragrance.
When the young man went inside that shop, first of all he went straight to the counter where the owner of this shop, an old lady, sits. Seeing him, the old woman became very happy and said while spreading her arms,
Lady: Hey Jake, my child. Come here.  Give me a hug.
Then Jake quickly went and hugged her. She Slightly patted his back & asked,
Lady: Son, you come here every day, then why didn't you come these two days?
Jake broke the hug & hold her wrinkled hands softly then said,
Jake: I'm sorry Nana, you know that I'm a detective and I have to go here and there every day, I was not here for two days. But I really missed your pancakes.
Nana: Awww my child. Come sit here, take and eat.
Then he quickly ate a piece and due to the taste, praise automatically came out of his mouth.
Jake: uuhhmmmmm... Nana It's the best as always.
Nana: Okay, you eat let me make your bouquet.
Jake stopped her by holding her hands & said,
Jake: Ahhh...Nana. Today I'll take 2 bouquets.
Nana: Oh, Is there anything special today?
Jake: Yaah, Nana. Today is my Mimi's birthday. So, I want a special flower bouquet today.
Nana: Then today you have come at the right time, today the best florist here will give you your bouquet.
Jake: Best florist? Who's she Nana? I never saw her here?
Nana: Yaah, because you always come here before evening and by then she leaves from here. But today you have come at the right time, let me introduce you to my girl.
Then Nana took Jake's hand and went to the other corner of the shop where she saw a girl making lovely bouquets of flowers and talking to them as if they were little children. Some strands of hair have fallen on his face due to which her face is not visible. Seeing her, an unknown happiness appeared on Jake's face and he himself didn't know when he started smiling. Then Nana said,
Nana:  Hey Hanna,my girl. See who have I brought you to meet today?
That girl was so busy with her work. So, she said without even looking up,
Hanna: Wait a minute my queen. I'm coming.
Then both of them stayed there for some time, but Jake was continuously staring at that girl. He couldn't take his eyes off  from her. After some time, the girl slowly came to them and gave a beautiful bouquet to Nana and said,
Hanna: Here aunty, I have prepared this bouquet for you. This was for someone's 40th anniversary, right? So, I made this gladiolus bouquet. See, how's it??
Nana: Wow,my girl. You made it so elegantly. This looks so pretty.
And here's our Jake, he was lost in a different world, he was just looking at Hanna continously. Nana noticed this and asked Jake, smiling slightly.
Nana: Son, look how pretty this is!
Jake: ......
Nana: Jake
Jake: .....
Then Nana shook him and he came back to reality from the dreamland and said,
Jake: Huh??
Nana: I said, look this bouquet looks so pretty, isn't it?
Jale: Aaa..yes.
He said while scratching his nape.
Nana: So, Hanna. He's the Jake I tell you about every day. And Jake, this is Hana, the best florist here, sorry I made a mistake, not here, she is the best florist in the entire city.
Then Jake's hand automatically moved towards Hanna for a handshake and he said,
Jake: Hello miss Hanna. I'm Jake, Jake Toner.
And Hanna looked at Jake for the first time and she bowed politely and said,
Hanna: Hello, I'm Hana.
Then Jake immediately took his hand back and bowed down.
Nana: Son, tell her what kind of bouquet you want, she will make it, and won't even give you a chance to complain. I'm going to check other customers.
She sat back in the reception area, leaving both of them in this uncomfortable situation. Then both of them went to the table where Hannah was making bouquets and then she hesitantly asked,
Hanna: How can I help you, Sir?
Jake: I...I need one bouquet no two..twi. I want two bouquets.
He cursed himself internally for stuttering.
Hanna looked at him with a confused face.
Then Jake took a deep breath & said,
Jake: Actually, I want two flower bouquets. One is for a grave & another for my Mimi I mean my grannie's i birthday.
Hanna nodded her head & started her work without even asking anything. While she's doing her work Jake was continously looking at her without blinking his eyelids. Then he thought,
Jake: ( what am i doing? What would she think of me if she saw me? control yourself jake what are you doing? But what is happening to me, I have never seen anyone like this before.)
He was completely lost in his thoughts & here within some minutes Hanna made two extremely beautiful flower bouquets.
Then he extended both the buckets towards Jake and said,
Hanna: Here are your bouquets sir.
Jake: Huh??
Hanna: Your bouquets.
Jake: Ahhh..yes.
She had made a bouquet of white lilies and the other of blue tulips, Jake was completely mesmerized after seeing the decoration. He bowed to Hanna and turned to leave but really he didn't want to leave so quickly. But when he turned back, there was a mirror in front of him, seeing which he was very happy, perhaps luck was also with him today. While going there, he was repeatedly looking at Hanna through the mirror who was again busy in her work. When he reached the counter, Nana looked at him and asked,
Nana: Did you like it?
Jake: Huh?
Nana: I mean the bouquets? Did you like it?
Jake: Oh,Yaah. Nana this is so pretty. Okay, Nana. I have to go. You take this.
Then he paid and left.
After he left, Hanna came to her & hugged from behind. Then she patted her head and said,
Nana: I know what you are going to say.
Hanna looked at her narrowing her eyebrows.
Nana: Now you will say thank you my buddy for keeping your promise again.
She said while mocking her.
Hanna: Awww. You're way too smart actually.
Then both of them burst out laughing. But there was someone who was getting very angry after seeing these two, he did not like their bonding at all. She was Lia; She worked at that shop and was crazy about Jake. She would always finish her work before Jake came and look at him and try to talk to him, but he never paid much attention. But today when she came to work she saw Jake passing by and she was surprised and was about to ask Aunty when she saw Aunty was laughing with Hanna and she flew into a rage.
