The Flower

Indigo Lavelle is the only child in her family. She only lives with her mother, Valeria Rosalie Hartowijoyo who is a single mother. Indigo was born in Annecy on February 19th, 1997. Little Indigo grew up without knowing the figure of her father who had left her mother without knowing that Rosa was pregnant. The city of Annecy is Rosa’s attempt to escape and hide the news of her pregnancy from the whole family. But it didn't last long, the mother's whereabouts were quickly discovered by Indigo’s grandfather, Federick Hartowijoyo, as well as her grandmother, Veronica Hartowijoyo. And in the end, they supported Rosalie to be able to conceive and give birth to her little angel. It didn't stop there, the debate over Indigo's last name. Irwan Hartowijoyo insisted that his grand-daughter could be able to use the family name 'Hartowijoyo'. But Rosa added Lavelle instead to complete Indigo’s name, as a symbol of 'fond of travel' which indirectly means escape.

Love is a Flower

I remember a special Christmas eve, it is not the presents that made it special, but the laughter, the feeling of love, being with those I love, and the togetherness of friends and family that made that Christmas special. But there is a most special memory, I married my best friend.

After 'The O In Digo" Day.

Six Senses Uluwatu, 22th December 2022

The early evening transitioned into a gloomy night, the sky now black with a few twinkling stars contrasting its darkness.Indigo staring at her books and laptop for several consecutive hours had she stretching in her chair in attempts to relieve her tight muscles, having sat for so long. She groaned in pain and fatigue, and Theo noticed this.“Baby, it’s been five more minutes. When are you gonna take a break?” Her husband reminded her for what could have easily been the sixth time; at this point, he was losing count.“Wait, I just need-““Five more minutes?” Theo cut her off, assuming she’d answer the same way she had been over the past hour.Indigo let out a heavy sigh, “Okay, fine. Let me just finish this part. I need like one more minute.”Theo frowned and stood up from where he was sitting on her bed before exiting the room. Indigo noticed this, imagining he was upset with her after not cooperating so many times when he had asked, but she didn’t pay much mind to his absence.After about sixty seconds, she heard her husband's soft footsteps as he reentered her room, Indigo eyes still glued to her papers.“Hey, love, come with me,”Indigo heard Theo say from behind she as his hand rested on her shoulder. Indigo looked at Theo and sighed once more before nodding and standing up.Theo pulled Indigo into his embrace and rubbed her upper back soothingly. She wrapped her arms around his torso, burying her head into his chest and breathing in his comforting scent.Once he pulled back, he slid his hand into her and pulled she to sit on the edge of the bed with him.There was only a small amount of light filling the room, the yellow luminance emitting from her lamp on her desk. Indigo noticed he had brought out some essential oils, now realizing that Theo wanted to give her a massage. Indigo smiled.Theo came around her, sitting behind before she felt him adjust her top slightly so that an area of her shoulders were exposed. She heard him open the lid of one of the oil bottles, and he poured some of the substance into his hands, rubbing them together. She felt as they made contact with her shoulders, and he left a small kiss on her cheek before beginning to loosen her tight muscles.“Ah-“ Indigo groaned slightly, causing her boyfriend to stop in his place. She heard a gasp leave his lips before he spoke with concern laced in his voice, “Sorry, am I doing it too hard?”“No, Theo, honey,” Indigo laughed, “It’s good, thanks and keep going.”A smile made its way to Theo lips before he continued working at her shoulders and making his way up the sides and back of her neck slightly. Indigo closed her eyes from the relaxing sensation.Her eyes opened when she felt the mattress shift from beneath she to her right. She turned to face her boyfriend. His attention was on her arm as he grabbed her hand and began massaging up the muscle.His eyes met hers and he gave her a small but loving smile before his hands separated from her arm and made their way to her cheeks. He made circles on her skin with the pads of his thumbs as they travelled up to your forehead and down the bridge of your nose. His fingers circled down to her chin as he rubbed it softly.She watched as his eyes landed on her lips. He removed one of his hands, the other holding the bottom of her chin before he guided her, leaning in and connecting his lips with hers. As did Theo, Indigo closed her eyes, hands resting on his leg as she leaned it further, deepening the kiss.Theo slowly pulled back before he stared into Indigo dazed eyes. His lips presented to she his gorgeous, soft smile before he leaned back in for another longing kiss.The night continued with Theo massaging her body, working at her arms where he had left off. Theo noticed her lids dropping as she began to doze off, since she were already exhausted from the work she had been doing all day.His voice was barely above a whisper as he told her, “Lie down, love. You can go to sleep.”Indigo gave him a small smile before following his words. She laid on her back and closed her eyes as he continued massaging her other arm. While Theo did, he watched her with adoration as light breaths were exhaled through her nose, now fast asleep.After a little while, he moved to her legs, rubbing her calves, and even giving she a nice foot massage while he was at it. Once he was finished, he made his way over to leave a peck on her lips before he left to put the oils away.Indigo woke up slightly, feeling so relaxed, she were tempted to fall back asleep, but when she noticed her boyfriend gone, she slowly sat up, rubbing her tired eyes.Seeing a light on in the bathroom, she stood up and made her way over drowsily.“Theo,” she spoke out, voice slightly hoarse from having just woken up.Theo head turned in her direction, his expression turning to one of worry. “Hi, baby, why are you up?”He walked over to her and grabbed her hand, leading Indigo back to bed.“I woke up and saw you weren’t there.”He let out a small laugh, the pleasant sound meeting her ears, causing her lips to pull up into a smile.“I was just putting the oils away. Let’s get you back to bed. I want you to get a good sleep.” His words tugged at her heart, making she feel soft and warm inside.Indigo leaned up and pressed a long kiss to his cheek, causing him to let out a small grin at her actions. Theo dragged Indigo back to bed and left one last kiss on her lips before fastly falling into a deep slumber.But there is a habit of Theo that never goes away is looking at Indigo's sleeping face and admiring him because his feelings for Indigo are indescribable. Although Theo has been friends with Indigo since childhood, but every time he sees his lover's face he always feels like the luckiest person in this world. Theo promised that he would always take care of Indigo until the end of his life.
