A Rose for The Volunteer

ex.part 7

🌹🌹🌹

Bu Nurul's house that day witnessed the meeting of Deka, Bayu and Reva, all the feelings that raged as if to be their pause to greet each other, and indeed have to say hello to each other, They were sick, they were sick, they were once disappointed, but from all of those events they were able to find the true meaning of love, unselfish love.

Bayu approached Deka, all the strength of his heart and body he had gathered, maybe this will make him ready to return to take Deka's blow, the mistakes he made with Reva will not be easily wiped out, just like that, too deep and leave a very sharp mark.

Reva bit her lips, Reva resigned, what Bayu did must be the best for them, Bayu who had been protecting her, protecting her family, protecting her, although Bayu's love for Reva becomes a mistake that erases all his goodness before Deka. Reva lowered her eyes, Reva was afraid to see the next incident.

"Om Deka why?". The Rose pulled Deka's clenched hand, then held it, Maybe the Rose realized Deka was in a bad heart condition.

Deca opened her fist, then clasped the Rose's tiny fingers, there was a strange sigh as the Rose stroked her hand, Deka's current emotions, if it were to break apart at this time, were there any strange sighs as the Rose stroked her hand, maybe Deka will also lose the grip of this Tiny hand.

"Lad...". Nesya pulled a Bayu shirt, her eyes were still red from tears, the eyes belonged to Deka, Nesya's thin lips also resembled Deka, everything in Nesya resembled Deka.

Deka looked at Nesya nanar who was now in a Bayu sling, right in front of Deka.

Deka's eyes glazed over, her strength had evaporated into the air, her emotions had fallen, drugged by Nesya's glass-like face to her.

Bayu extends Nesya to Deka.

"It's Papi Nesya dear". Soft Mayu Saying.

"Papiii...?" Deka grabbed Nesya, hugging Nesya tightly in her carriage. Deka was crying, all who were silent there were crying, Nurul Bu who could not help but hold back had to directly hug Bayu, all the worries that had haunted his mind vanished when he saw Deka dropping tears.

Reva who was not able to hold back the pace of tears approached Deka.

"I'm sorry Deka, I'm really sorry". Reva spoke very softly, but could be heard by everyone standing there.

"I'm also sorry, all this time I've been waiting for this day to come, I was wrong, I took Reva from you, but really, I love them with all my heart". Bayu looked back at Deka who was still tightly hugging Nesya.

Deka still had no voice, at this time, all his actions were like being on the gambling table, in his heart wanting to just hit Bayu with all his might, cursing Reva as he pleased. But Nesya who was currently in his arms made Deka weak, making Deka's mouth mute.

Deka threw away the face of Bayu and Reva, turned to look at Sekar, Sekar who had tried to digest this situation was still in his original position, silent. Deca knew there were a million questions swirling around Sekar's head, and Deka couldn't explain them in this short time.

"Of..This is Om Deka's son, right?". The rose holds Nesya's feet. Deka squatted, facing Nesya to the Rose.

"Hey dear.His name is Nesya, she'll be your sister". The rose smiled happily, pinching Nesya's cheeks slowly.

Sekar aligns himself with the rose.

"Hallo beautiful..." Scrubbing Nesya's hair, Nesya smiled, she was very similar to Deka as she smiled.

Bu Nurul approached Deka.

"What's your name, honey?". Bu Nurul rubbed the Rose's hair.

"The rose of Nek, and this mother of Roses, her name is Sekar". The light of innocent Roses.

"Let's take Sekar, Roses, go in first, sit inside, come on Deka, take them in".

Deka stood up, taking Sekar and Roses in, since they came earlier, they just stood in front of the door.

Now that they had gathered in the living room, Nesya had already changed hands to Reva, all still silent, looking awkward.

Bu Nurul started to open his voice.

"Where have you been all this time Deka?". Tanya Bu Nurul's.

"I'm in Semarang too Mom, sorry if I never come home". Deka answered while looking at Nesya who started running here and there.

"Who Is This?".

"She's my wife's cakon Ma'am, I want to marry her, and this is Mawar, Sekar's son, Sekar's husband died in an accident when Roses was 8 months old". Deca stopped the story. Bu Nurul, who was sitting next to Roses, rubbed her hair gently. There is compassion in Bu Nurul's heart.

"Did Sekar really like Deka Nak?".

Sekar was silent, how he would answer Bu Nurul's question, even though he did not love Deka, but Sekar could not possibly humiliate Deka in front of his family.

Sekar nodded.

"When are you planning on getting married?" Bayu this time tried to melt the atmosphere between himself and Deka.

"Quickly". Deka answered without looking at Bayu.

"But it is not..." Bu Nurul stopped his sentence.

"I'm not a random woman, ma'am, I wasn't even allowed to touch her hands before we got married, and I couldn't possibly repeat that mistake a second time". This time Deka glanced at Reva, Reva spontaneously lowered her head, she knew what Deka meant was herself and Deka.

"Looking at you right now is terrifying, you're like a shotgun pointed at my head and ready to blow it up at any moment".

"And hear you're going to marry this woman? Did ya? the woman in the veil, with clothes that are far from this fashionable word, is she really your future wife?".

"When you look at me, those eyes seem to judge me, she's not a careless woman and you think I'm careless Haah??".

🌹🌹

"Well, I like your choice, you can set the date, I'll help you prepare for the event at home". Answer Bu Nurul.

"Well then, Deka pamit ma'am, later if the date is certain, I call mom". Deka stood, followed by Sekar and Roses.

"Why rush Deka?". Bu Nurul tried to hold Deka.

"They haven't gotten used to them yet Mom". Deka looked at Bayu and Reva alternately, now he approached Nesya who was playing in front of the television.

"Bapi's coming home, baby..." Deka kissed Nesya's cheek, hugged her for a while, then kissed her again. Deka seemed to be still filled with longing for her little daughter, but what power, the existence of Reva and Bayu together in front of her eyes reopened the wounds that had been painstakingly bandaged. Lucky he came with Sekar, at least there is a feeling he must take care of, he must beat his emotions.

Deka, Sekar and Roses were already in front of the car, when Deka was about to enter, Bayu pulled Deka's hand.

"I want to talk to you for a second". Bayu takes Deka away.

Deka stared intently at Bayu who also looked at him no less sharply.

"why ignore me?". Ask Bayu.

"What do you care?".

"I just want you to forgive me Deka". Continue Bayu.

"Sorry...? okay I forgive you, but our business is not done.

"What business?".

"I'll take Nesya from you".

"We can talk about it all right, don't hurt Reva, let alone Nesya". Bayu is a little threatening.

"Well..would you take all mine haaah?". Deka looked furious.

Bayu saw Deka clenched, instead of being emotionally ignited, Bayu actually hugged Deka. Deka was about to pull over, but Sekar from the front of the car looked at him sharply.

"You are still my sister Deka, you are my only sister, and Nesya is your daughter but she is also my little daughter, let me take care of her". Bayu patted Deka's back.

Hearing that remark, Deka's heart seemed to be torn apart, there was pain, there was confusion, there was warmth. Deka really doesn't know his feelings.

"Go home, I love your choice, I'm a sholihah woman, you deserve it". Bayu releases Deka's embrace.

Without a word Deka moved, returned to the car, went straight in, and just passed by.

All are still with their own questions, unspoken questions because there are many feelings that must be maintained, Deka who keeps the feeling of Sekar, Bayu who keeps the feeling of Reva, Reva, and they both keep the feelings of his mother and the two little children there, Nesya and Roses.

🌹🌹

When they try to take care of each other, no one gets hurt, and that's real, unselfish love.

If the word sorry can not be answered, maybe because the healing of the wound takes a long time.

Just like Deka, who has found Sekar, then not necessarily forget Reva who is now in front of the eyes, maybe no longer a feeling of love, but all the disappointment is still there.

Let time do everything good. At least until this second, in plain sight, they're fine".
