A Rose for The Volunteer
ex.part 5
🌹🌹🌹
Sekar woke up after more than 3 hours of fainting, according to the doctor who was checking, Sekar was dehydrated and his blood platelets decreased, in the next 2 days his condition will improve, but it must be hospitalized in order to be able to rest completely. At first Sekar refused to take the name, but Deka assured him that Deka would help care for the Roses.
"You ate first, you haven't eaten in the morning". Deka took the porridge on the nightstand beside the bed Sekar.
"I can do it myself". He took the porridge from Deka's hand. Rose who saw his mother in distress, went up to the bed sitting next to Sekar.
"Let the rose suckle ma'am, I'll just lean on it if it's still dizzy".
Sekar pulled his body, with the help of Deka leaning a pillow on his back to hold his body is still weak.
The rose painstakingly fed her mother, Sekar's face still pale, but she still tried to swallow her food. A very soothing sight to the eyes, the love of the child to his mother, and the struggle of a mother raising a child alone.
They are not soap opera artists on television, but they play roles with full of soul, body language that can not be described with words, mimic plain faces without engineering or other acting guidelines.
Suddenly Deka misses Bu Nurul, once disappointed, never to visit him, but Bu Nurul is his biological mother, the only family he still has.
"One day I will take Sekar and Roses to visit my mother.
After eating, Roses gave medicine to his mother, then helped lay Sekar's body on the bed, raise a blanket to cover Sekar's chest.
"You rest, I'll take the rose to eat, she hasn't eaten yet".
"Where?". Just trying to find out.
"Only in the hospital cafeteria will Rose and I be back soon". Now nodding, Roses got out of bed, saying goodbye to his mother, then holding Deka's hand out of Sekar's inpatient room.
Just looking at them until they disappeared behind the door, Sekar knew, The rose of his little daughter loved Deka very much, and Deka was so considerate with her daughter, but was Deka's attention sincere? could Deka really love Roses?
Sekar tried to close his eyes, all the goodness of Deka and his closeness to the Rose was depicted in the eye pelupuk, but Sekar still hesitated at the kindness of Deka, when he met her that night, Deka with a very sexy woman, who was still very hesitant, and as he spoke, the smell of alcohol smelled from his mouth.
Just trying to guess, the relationship between Deka and the woman, if yesterday-yesterday Sekar did not want to know, but somehow now he wants to know. Is it because of the words of Deka at the end of the meeting? Deka said that he was his future wife?
Sekar still rotates his eye retina even though it is closed, indicating that he is not asleep, Sekar just trying to close his eyes, but not with his mind.

Deka and Rose were lying on the Hospital Sofa, Sekar who had fallen asleep from the dead awoke in the middle of the night, Sekar woke up, approached his daughter's Rose, justifying the slumped blanket to fall to the floor, while Deka seemed to hold his hand, perhaps Deka felt a cold attack, but just now Deka bought only one blanket for roses, Deka forgot himself.
Sekar who felt unbearable, took his jacket from the nightstand, covered half of Deka's body by widening his jacket, long Sekar looked at the face of Deka so calm in his sleep.
"Sorry to trouble you". Sekar lirih muttered, Sekar then rushed into the bathroom.
Deka smiled, apparently he woke up when Sekar enveloped him, he deliberately did not open his eyes, Deka did not want to damage Sekar's mood, because if Deka opened his eyes at that time, Deka did not open his eyes, then Sekar will walk away from him.
Deka seems to have known Sekar very well, although only 3 months, Sekar will not touch a man who is not his muhrim, even just to look at his eyes for a long time, as much as possible Sekar will avoid him.
The smell of the body Sekar attached to the jacket that is used to envelop the body of Deka, can now be clearly smelled, the smell of soap whose ads often wander on television, can now be heard, the price of soap that is not even more than 10 thousand rupiah, but can hypnotize Deka to imagine every detail of the face of Sekar, in the corner of his eyes he painted women who always use a wide headscarf, big clothes, and, and the eyes that always bowed when Deka looked at him, Sekar was not a woman of the night who queued to tease him, Sekar woman who fought until night to extend her life, live Rose, her only child.
Deka remembered his canvas, Deka wanted to immediately paint there, placing Sekar in one corner of his painting, a special corner in his life frame.

2 Days later...
The doctor has allowed Sekar to return home, Deka packed up and finished his administration. Mawarpun swiftly helped his mother, holding Sekar's hand along the hallway of the hospital to the car Deka. They passed to the rented house of Sekar.
The rented house that Sekar left for 3 nights, one night in a cart and 2 nights in the hospital. A musty smell due to the absence of sunlight filled the room, Deka helped open all the windows, wiping the dust stuck in the corners of the room, Roses swept the floor, and the, putting dirty clothes in the basket in the bathroom, while Sekar cooks water, then makes a drink for Deka and Roses.
A few moments later they fell on a fur carpet in the living room, Sekar's house without a sofa or chair can make Deka comfortable to rest himself. Deka sipped black coffee made by Sekar, the taste is always the same, as when first Deka tasted it.
"Thank you Deka, for all your help all this time". Say it while gently rubbing Rose's hair.
"I want to marry you Sekar". Deka spoke for a moment and stopped him, Deka saw Sekar's facial expression change.
"Quick that?". I doubt Deka.
"Yes, I can't let you and the Rose like this, I don't want anything like yesterday to happen again". Deka rubbed the lips of the wet cup after he had been steamed.
"But I can't".
"Why?"
"The color I don't love you". Sekar.
Deka let out a long sigh, leaning her back against the wall.
"It's not for us to see, but for the Rose, the Rose needs someone who can protect it".
"I can protect her, and all this time I can do it myself". Answer Sekar firmly.
"Yes..as yesterday? you can't even protect yourself".
This time, Deka was right.
Sekar rubbed the cheeks of the Rose who had fallen asleep because of fatigue.
"Try to think again, don't be too long, life on the street is too dangerous for you, let alone the Rose, she is still so small to see the cruelness of the streets at night, you don't need to love me, you don't need to love me, I don't even care about it, I just want Roses to grow up worthy like a child of his age, remember Sekar, I also have a daughter, who even until now has not known me, and I'm so sorry I couldn't bring her up".
Nesya's shadow made Deka teary, but Deka tried to hold back her tears.
Sekar can properly capture all the words of Deka, should Sekar accept it for the sake of the Rose? I don't know, he wants to do the prayer Istiqhoroh first to convince his heart.
"I'm happy, I want your answer tomorrow, I want to take you immediately and Rose to see my mother, don't think about the feelings between us, Roses are a priority, I don't want her to grow up on the streets". Deka passed leaving the contract of Sekar.
For a certainty tomorrow, Deka left a million questions in Sekar's heart, one answer that would bring him and the Rose to a new life, or keep it alive with his present life.

LAX, New York International Airport, the first flight of the day, Bayu cradled Nesya, Reva walked behind him, walked up the stairs of the plane, a journey that will reunite them on a piece of the past that has not been completed.
The past he sometimes misses, the past that sometimes scares him back to his homeland.
In 23 hours they will be reunited, will it be okay? or just the opposite? let's just wait.
