A Rose for The Volunteer
ex.part 11
🌹🌹🌹
Deka began to learn again, from the forgotten, from the uninitiated, when all needed a process, slowly and patiently Deka lived it. Now and the Rose is like an angel without wings sent by God to straighten the way of life Deka who was once misguided. Their care and sincerity made Deka realize, how ever too deep he fell in the pit of sin, Deka would never know if his improvement was accepted by God, but at least Deka tried, let it be, Deka would never know if he was better, whether the business is accepted or not is the decision of the Supreme Owner of Life.
Exactly a month of the wedding of Deka and Sekar, but they are still alive as at the beginning of the marriage, Deka with his world who loves Sekar and Roses, and Sekar who is still afraid to give everything to Deka, Deka, actually Sekar just waiting for Deka to ask again, but Deka who knew from the beginning Sekar still loved her late husband instead waited for Sekar to walk by himself, hugging him.
So they just wait for each other, without anyone daring to start, they are both afraid of rejection.
This morning Ms. Nurul called Deka..
"How are you doing, son?". Bu Nurul's voice sounded excited
"Alhamdulillah Deka and good family Mom, Healthy mother?"
"Yes son, Healthy Mom, Nesya will come back to LA tomorrow, won't you see her?"
Deka was silent, his heart would have wanted to see Nesya, because if Deka had not met Nesya today, then Deka would have waited another year to meet Nesya. And that means Deka has to meet Reva again, the woman, the man she's loved for so long and then betray her, Deka has not been able to accept her existence as her brother-in-law.
Sekar who faintly heard the conversation Deka with Bu Nurul, approached Deka, who was still holding his cellphone.
Rose held Deka's hand, then asked Deka's phone.
"Assalamualaikum Ibu..ini Now".
"Waalaikumsalam Sekar, are you well son?". Sahutan Bu Nurul sounded a little heavy.
"alhamdulillah Ma'am, Sekar Sama Mas Deka will go to the mother's house, but maybe a bit unfortunate, waiting for the Rose to go home from school, if Saturday the Rose is not too late to go home, then it will be up to pick up the Rose, Sekar Sama Mas Deka go there". Speak without waiting for Deka's approval.
"Mother is happy to hear Sekar, I wait, Yes, I've cooked Deka's favorite food".
"Yes Mom, sorry to bother Mom". Sahut Sekar's.
"Mommy does not bother dear, yes already, I close the phone first, until later yes Sekar, assalamualaikum".
"Vaaalikumsalam". Sekar turned off the phone, then handed it to Deka, Sekar only realized, one hand still holding Deka, and Deka looked at him very sharply.
"Sorry..." Sekar pulled his hand, but now it was Deka who pulled it.
"What do you mean?". Deka who had been silent finally opened his voice.
"You have to see Nesya, however she is your daughter, unless you want to lose her as your biological daughter". Answer Sekar who now dare to look into the eyes of Deka.
"You don't know how I feel about Reva".
"I know, even very well, but Reva is part of your past, she's the mother of your child, if you avoid her you will lose Nesya's recognition as her real father, because in reality Nesya loves Bayu more than you, just like her mother". Sekar moved, but the pull of Deka's hand was so strong, and it made Sekar fall on Deka's lap.
Deka clenched both hands on Sekar's body, then placed his head on the niche of Sekar's neck.
"Keep me up to meet Reva.... Now, I'm afraid I hate him too much, but I'm afraid I'm losing Nesya".
Sekar who got an impromptu attack like that, of course, made his body reflex vibrate, but Sekar tried to neutralize it, Deka needed it at this time.
"Sure Deka, I'll accompany you". Sekar rubbed Deka's head, which almost stuck to her face, only limited a little folded hijab because Deka held it suddenly.
"Why call my name? I like you calling me Mas like I was talking to Mom". Deka began to flirt, making a red tinge appear on Sekar's cheeks.
"Moeuu.... Where's mom?". Rose's voice rang out from the kitchen, Sekar immediately removed Deka's hand from her body, then stood up leaving Deka chuckling.
"You are sweet Sekar". muttered Deka, scooping his face rough, then walking after Sekar by not stopping smiling.
They skip breakfast as usual, only Rose and Deka who occasionally talk, Sekar prefers to be quiet with his mind, seeing two people in front of him happy already makes Sekar happy.
Deka delivered the school Rose, then stopped by the store to finish his work, because today and tomorrow it is certain Deka will not return to the store, Deka accidentally calls one of his trusted employees to come early too, handing over all his duties today to Danang, who is, Danang's longest-serving employee and Deka's most trusted person when Deka has to leave and can't come to the store.
After everything was done, Deka rushed back to Rose school, there were already several children coming out of the school gate. Roses were also visible, running towards Deka who was standing in front of his car.
"Hey Dad..."
"Hallo Darling..." Deka kissed Rose's forehead, then opened the car door for her.
They passed from school, on the way home, Deka always asked how the Rose in school, how the mother teacher and her friends, all never forgot from the question of Deka, and it seems, like, that's a form of supervision and attention to the Rose Deka, be a friend and a good listener when tired after school.
Sekar was waiting in front of the door, Sekar had also prepared all the needs to be brought to the mother's house.
Roses have changed clothes, Sekar is also neat, the appearance of Sekar now actually does not change much, only his face looks clean and well-groomed, of course because now Sekar no longer need to bask in the hot sun, Deka bought him some face cream that can be used at home, initially Sekar refused, Deka, but Deka just told Sekar to pamper himself, fill free time at home when the Roses have not come home from school. Finally Sekar tried, and finally became a routine, not to look beautiful, just to take care of the health of his skin, because basically Sekar is already beautiful, even without makeup.

Deka's car went into the courtyard of Bu Nurul's house, Bu Nurul who was accompanying Nesya on a swing immediately held Nesya and approached Deka's car.
"Heeeiiiii iaaang". Deka hurriedly asked Nesya from Bu Nurul's sling.
"Battle...?" Nesya stared at Deka's astonished face, Nesya remembered who Deka was, but looked at her face as if afraid of Deka.
"Yes, baby, it's papi". Deka kissed Nesya's cheek, followed by Sekar who was standing next to Deka, while Mawar was already in the arms of Bu Nurul.
"Let's Deka, Sekar, go in first". Bu Nurul took Mawar and brought him in, Nesya in Deka's arms, and Sekar tailed behind her.
Bayu came out of the middle room.
"Papaa..." Nesya who saw Bayu directly extended her hand which was immediately welcomed by Bayu.
"Huuuh his son papa why ask for a sling hem, it's big should be his own way". Bayu pinched Nesya's cheek which Nesya kissed back on her cheek.
Deka who saw it a little jealous, yes.reality Bayu who always make Deka Jealous.
They sat in the middle room, the atmosphere between Deka and Bayu also began to melt, Nesya, Sekar and Roses who became the mediator, until Reva who was from earlier in the room decided to join, sitting next to Sekar.
Bayu glanced at Reva, as well as Deka, all becoming awkward, until Reva ventured to begin.
"How are you doing?". Reva who looks nervous caught Bayu's eye.
"Good Ma'am...Mom says tomorrow Ma'am Reva is going back to LA huh?".
"Yes...Mas Bayu already had to go to work, his leave was only a month, it's already past a week". Reva.
"When are you going to LA?". Bayu opens his voice. "We can take Nesya and Roses to Disneyland".
"Waaah...It is far away Mas Bayu, Sekar is afraid of stray". Bayu who heard Sekar's plain speech laughed.
"Take Deka dong, he is proficient in English, his English school time always gets a score above 90". Bayu slightly praised Deka and it managed to make Deka smile wryly.
Deka is only proficient in English and Mathematics, but the value of other lessons is always below the value of Bayu.
The atmosphere really began to melt, Sekar and Bayu became good controllers today, although Deka did not say much as Reva, either, but sometimes they can laugh together to see the funny behavior of Nesya and Rose who began to get along with each other.
Until the evening before, after Isya Deka intended to say goodbye to Bu Nurul, but the rain outside fell rapidly, Bu Nurul asked Deka to stay overnight, Mawar also slept with Nesya in Bayu's room.
"Have just stayed over, the rain was very heavy, pity the Roses" said Bu Nurul
Deka was still silent, as if asking for Sekar's approval, his bead glanced at Sekar, but Sekarpun just lowered his head.
"Tomorrow between your brothers and sisters to the airport, at 9 am they have to arrive at the airport". Bu Nurul.
Finally Deka agreed, but Sekar slightly inched, maybe one thing that Bu Nurul did not know, if he and Deka, had never slept one room. Squeezing the end of his shirt.
"Your room has been cleaned, you and Sekar can rest, Roses do not need to be moved, let sleep with Reva and Bayu, Bayu's room there are two beds, let Rose sleep there".
Skak Mat, that's the feeling Sekar is feeling right now, between nervousness and fear, but if he refuses to sleep one room with Deka, then I'll know everything, not just Mom, it's just me, but Bayu and Reva, and that would hurt Deka's self-esteem. The self-esteem he has tried to build as solid as possible.
While Deka with his mind is of course flowering..
"Thank you, my dear mother, for such a rare opportunity". Inner Deka as if jumping up and down, his blood whirring pumped, Deka like a teenage boy who is in love.
At the silencing of his mouth, as if all was ordinary, Deka was afraid Sekar caught his wet happy hue.
