147 Rainbow 2

Calm breeze reached her cold chap, shivering her nape hair, she slowly loosened her tight eyelids and opened it. She looked at above her was motley flower petals with each different colors and unique fragrances.

They were floating, blown away to her side. It spun naughtily around, surrounding as they tried to lift Tereza's body to get up. She wiped her eyes which had no tears on it. Confused as hell, she was thinking about what happened to her a moment ago?

In front of her, there was a greenhouse, white color surrounding her being, with her rational turn on, she realized she was in her usual white space. But it was strange, where did all the furball flower spirits vanish to? Why there were only flower petals which kept flying touching her fluttering hair?

All of sudden, a cracking sound reached her ears, she paid attention to the greenhouse which turned glowing bright green. She squinted her eyes and a burst of air pressure pushed her behind, yet she still standing with the help of the massive flower petals holding her back. Her short hair was blown behind, showing her wide forehead as she was trying to cover eyes with her hands.

Shards from greenhouse were flying, following the wind whirl which surrounded the place. Gradually, forming a huge dark black tree. It stood right in front of her. The strong wind stopped hitting her, she took a quick breath and looked at the tree in shock. Opening her eyes wide, she was talking to herself, wasn't this the dark black tree she first met at that time? Why it came right now?

Tereza stared at the tree, she felt tiny compared to it, was it this huge before? She recalled the tree was in average size, but why now it was ten times bigger?! Before she could say words, the flower petals were flying to the tree at fast speed, while maintaining their straight formed.

Stunned, she witnessed the flower petals were attaching themselves to the tree. The flower petals went inside through the stem, slowly, evolving black to silver shade, new leaves were growing from the branches as well. At the same time, the leaves changed to dazzling rainbow color, which radiating, shimmering inside the white space. It was so gorgeous that made her eyes kept looking fixedly at the tree.

She heard a familiar voice, [Long time no see]. The voice of a child, man, and woman combined into one, resounding into her ears. The rainbow leaves were hovering down to her side. The smell of fresh wood went into her nose. It calmed her physically, but not mentally.

Tereza didn't do anything besides standing and waiting for the tree to say a few things more. ["We" see, you finally succeed your mission. You made flowers I gave you became well-known to the whole world! Thanks to you "We" turn to our original formed. "We" want to say thank you!]

Tereza frowned from the tree's words. Well-known? Whole world? Searching something in her memories, she just remembered her old mission to raise thirty flowers and make the flowers she planted to be famous. The dark black tree or The Great Flower Spirits told her that the tree will visit her during the time she accomplished both tasks.

She achieved her first mission to grow the flowers, and the only one left was to make them popular. All this time she made several plans to realize it. Like the cosmetic and skin care project, flower bouquets for wedding or graduation, and recently her Flower Wisdom Park in Haresora City which officially opened a few days ago.

At that time, the quickest route for popularity was the beauty cosmetic, she was sure that her decision was correct, yet the flower spirits said they didn't want to be in liquid or powder form, and the result, made this first plan failed. They were hoping and asked her if they could stay in their original formed.

That was why, Tereza made the Flower Wisdom Park project but, it couldn't be because of that, the tree came, right? the Flower Wisdom Park only opened for a few days back, it couldn't be that fast people knew about the tourist spot. Although the social network now was quick, people needed times to understand about the place first. She became muddled, what was something she missed?

She asked, "What did I do to make you come? I didn't remember that my plans came out good as I hoped for. Perhaps, there is a mistake?"

[No, you really did it. "We" heard from Jasmine that you developed new perfume which made them stay in true form, correct? Cherry Blossom also reported that the sale exceeded the top goods in the country and other countries! Well, "We" didn't understand about human matters, but we know that half of the world used that perfume! In another means, people know about the flowers! It was so amazing that "We" couldn't believe our ears!]

Blinking her eyes, she facepalmed inwardly, how could she forget about the new perfume she launched last year? Sighing, because it was a year ago, it was the time she was in turbulence state due to Han, she mostly forgot all about her promise.

New developing perfume idea, just like Flower Wisdom Park, it was a concept with her reconsidering the flower spirit guardians or furballs at that time as well. That was the reason she established that thinking.

In her current business state, since Akira took her position, she didn't directly in charge of her own company anymore. Instead, she went back to Ginga Corp as the vice president, helping her father after Kezia irresponsibly disappeared. Just like she said, it was a troubling moment for them.

Meanwhile, she made Akira and Hikaru, time to time to report their product progress in the company. To help them, she also made Appeal Company under the Ginga Corp. In this way, she could keep watch closely to her own company and the boys.

Tereza began thinking about her recent reports. It contained about her new perfume products which gained a lot of attention from the netizens as she got into the top five most searching items on the internet, with a total of ten million orders in whole countries.

She didn't think too much about that, because her last beauty products order were much bigger than this number. What she didn't know, in this one year, people loved to buy her perfume and made it trending on social media.

In the review, this product was the highest score among all of her creations. They said as if they fell in love once again like a young maiden, the fragrances reminding them of their first love. It was such an unforgettable aroma. Thus, it concluded her achievement.

Understanding about her accomplished missions, she asked once more with an indifferent face, "Where are the flower furballs? I mean, where are the flower spirit guardians?"

Didn't take her word to the tree's heart, it said, [They change into "We" because they are a part of "We". Do you see these colors? It was the flower furballs. They can hear you, they said thank you and sorry for not being helpful. "We" heard you were having a hard time? Well, "We" couldn't blame you that "We" are weak and minority spirits. Like "We" said, we can only enhance your five sense, but it doesn't mean you're invincible.]

Tereza drooping her eyes, lowering her head, she muttered slowly, "I know about that. I'm sorry too, I blamed them for not being incompetent, accusing them of not helping me, I complained about my powers all the time! While in fact, I was the one who was useless! I'm! I'm!" Tereza bit her lowered lips, clenching her face, she was halting her tears, she didn't want to cry, she didn't want to remember the memory about Han's death which came striking her mind!

[Okay, you can stop now.] The tree ordered. ["We" didn't finish our words yet. Do you want to hear now? Or do you want to cry first? Choose one.]

She heard the tree options, calmly she let go of her hold, exhaling, she lifted her head with her eyes blurry. The tree saw her response, with echo voice, it spoke, [Because of your deed service to us, "We" want to give you something. Sadly, it's only one wish, but this time! It is yours to decide! Do you have something you wish for?]

Startling, Tereza widened her eyes to the tree. Wish? It couldn't be possible, right? But what if possible? Gulping, she was shivering from the feeling she couldn't describe it well. She asked expectingly, "Anything I want? Anything I wish for?"

[Yes, of course! "We" will try our best to make it happens before we go! But think it wisely, alright? So? What is your wish?]

She asked with quivering tone, "Can you bring my husband back to life?"

[...]

"..."

Silence came between them, she was waiting for the tree to response while the tree was hesitating, but later the tree answered her with a sad tone, ["We" can't, sorry.]

Her heart almost fell, she was trying to grasp what the three said, appeasing herself, yet it failed. She turned furious angry and cry out the top of her lung, "Why not?! Didn't you said you will grant anything I wish for?! This is only one wish that I'm hoping for! I just want him to come to life again! What's so hard about it?! You are great spirits! Of course, you can at least do this much, right?!" She growled angrily.

The tree sighed inwardly, it explained, ["We" are not God, "We" are simply minor spirits under the major spirits jurisdiction. "We" didn't have authority to give you this wish. It's difficult and complicated for underrated spirits like us.]

The tree quietened for a second, after a moment, he advised her, [If you want to talk about life and death you need to go to the Life Guardian Spirit in heaven. He's basically in charge of soul administration. Recently he was promoted to be a God. His name is Elway, he's a little scary. If you really want to stick with this wish. I can take you there to him. But the rest is up to if you fail or not. Do you still want to continue?]

"Yes!" She confirmed without hesitation. She didn't care what would she face on, her mind was only about Han. If there was still one opportunity that could help him to be alive, why not? She couldn't face her reality if he was indeed gone from this world. What would she become if that truly happened?

She didn't want to think about that. It was a slight hope, but it could change her life forever. So she must brace herself. Closing her eyes, she prayed in her heart, for Han to be alive again, for Han to come back to her side. Opening her eyes slowly, there laid a determination inside, she stated, "I'm ready."

[If that's what you want, alright then. After "We" take you there, it will be our truly last to see each other. "We" must go back to our place. Remember, if you succeed asking Elway, you can return to your world, if not, well, "We" don't know what will happen, but just try your best to persuade him. So, Tereza, be careful. Once again, thank you for your help this entire time! And sorry "We" can't reciprocal you the same, besides escorting you there to heaven. But, "We" wish you the best of luck!]

Whoosh!

Her surrounding turn to hazy, the rainbow leaves were leaving from the tree and flowing with the current wind, it circled toward her body as they began devoured her. The next thing she knew, she faded, leaving a few flower petals, falling on the spot she stood on.
