A Rose for The Volunteer

Morning as if mumbling to himself, in fact the sound of a loyal rooster being birama every day is not able to wake Sekar from his sleep lelap.
Deka smiled again, with his eyes still closed Deka had awakened, still holding Sekar who was asleep, Iqomah Voice did not even make Sekar move, he said, usually Sekar who will first wake the Rose and himself to pray 2 rakaat, but this morning is amazing, Sekar and Deka just fell asleep at 2 am, what do they do? Deka and Sekar reciprocate each other for every feeling they have kept themselves so far, pouring out all the hidden desires in silence. They already completely own each other, without coercion, without thinking it's rights and obligations, but on the basis of mutual need.
Deka kissed Sekar's forehead, slowly releasing his embrace, raising the blanket up to Sekar's neck.
Deka rushed to the bathroom, took a bath and purified herself, with her hair still slightly wet Deka back to Sekar.
"Build Iaaang". Sekar was surprised, the water that fell from Deka's hair dripped on his face.
Just raising the blanket to cover his entire body, Sekar was embarrassed, Sekar knew his current body was very embarrassing. And that made Deka laugh.
"Why...?". Deka pulled the blanket to the limit of Sekar's face, because Sekar deliberately held it firmly. Sekar just shook his head, his face red.
"Bring there, let me wake the rose, we pray in the Rose room". Deka has not moved, Sekar still budging.
"Udah cepetan, the hunt's finished at dawn". Deka pulled Sekar's body until he sat down, one hand Sekar still holding a blanket to cover his body.
"Yes, but Mas Deka came out first, I'm ashamed". Deka chuckled, pinched the gaunt reddened Sekar's cheeks.
"Yes, I'm waiting in the Rose's room". Deka moved, Sekar also shifted himself by dragging a blanket to cover his body, when Deka was seen out of the room then Sekar grabbed the bathrob brought Deka earlier.
But suddenly the door opened again, and Deka appeared there.
"Mas Dekaaaaa....." Sekar reflex throws Deka with a pillow beside him, unfortunately Deka movement closes the door faster than the landing of the pillow thrown by Sekar, all that is left is the sound of Deka laughter that makes Sekar more embarrassed and upset.

"Wake Baby". Deka rubbed the cheek of the Rose, who immediately wriggled slowly.
"For Dad, what's the growth of the father who woke up, which mother is Dad?".
"From last night I helped Dad work, to fall asleep in Dad's room, now I'm taking a shower, just stay here".
"That last night the rose slept alone, huh Well?".
"Dear dear, great rose, Rose has dared to sleep alone now". Speak Deka while rubbing the Rose hair..
"Horeee, Roses are big now, starting later tonight Roses want to sleep alone, so I can help Daddy work". Roses cheered happily, let alone Deka, if Deka was the same age as Roses, surely Deka would have done the same.
Now that he was standing there, Sekar pinched the arm of Deka who was still smiling to tease him.
They prayed together, Deka is now fluent in being a priest.
Deca who is unceasingly grateful to God who has sent Sekar and Roses, they are both truly like flowers, fragrant, and give beauty in their lives. Always in every prayer Deka begged to be given a long life in order to live long with them, make them happy and have many children from Sekar.

Monterey Park's... Los Angeles
if in Indonesia it is only 5 am, in Monterey it has been shown at 19:00 pm.
Bayu and Reva are enjoying dinner, while Nesya is playing with Mbak Siti, the Household Assistant that Papa Reva sent her a few months ago. Mr. Hadi who did not have the heart if he had to see his daughter take care of the house and his grandson alone finally sent a House Assistant who had worked long enough at home. Mr. Hadi even offered Bayu to buy an apartment larger than his house, but Bayu refused. Bayu does not want his household to always be in the shadow of Mr. Hadi, his Papa Reva.
Reva looked at Bayu, there were doubts to start saying her wish, but Pak Hadi had already urged her many times.
"Maasss, Reva can you talk?".
"Hmmm, sure Va".
"Reva wants to continue college, Papa has registered Reva lecture, here too, Papa wants me to study, because I'm the only son of Papa who will continue the business Papa". Reva stopped, now Bayu was staring at him, Bayu put his spoon, leaning his shoulder on the chair.
"What about Nesya?".
"And there's Bik Siti, Nesya has also been almost 2 years, I..."
"You're starting to change Va". Bayu leaves Reva, Reva rushes after Bayu who enters his room.
"Mas.I beg...Mas Bayu must understand my situation". Reva approaches Bayu who starts opening his laptop.
"But before marriage, Mas Bayu allowed me to go back to school after my son was born, and now it's 2 years old". Reva is still trying to find a million reasons to let Bayu go to school again.
Bayu approached Reva, holding the jaw of his face, looking into Reva's eyes very sharply.
"That was before I loved you and Nesya Va". Bayu pressed a little jaw on Reva Reva's face a little pain.
"Sick Mas". Bayu had yet to release Reva's jaw, only slightly loosening it.
"I know, isn't that your only goal?".
"I mean Bayu?". Reva doesn't understand Bayu's words.
"I heard you at the airport". Sontak Reva was surprised, Bayu let go, Bayu again left Reva who this time held his chest, felt his guts began to float, carried away by his fear of Bayu her husband.

(Wooden part)
"If love is ever wrong, then forgive me, if I ever hurt someone for love, then heal the wound, because now I know what it feels like, if there is still a chance for me to repeat the time, I prefer not to fall in love".
Time and again Bayu cursed himself, locking himself in his tiny study, every word Reva said while at the airport still vividly vivid in his memory.
If there was no mother, he would not be able to control his emotions, and also Deka who had just forgiven him, Sekar, Roses and Nesya, all became valuable to Bayu, beat the emotions that burned his chest.
Want Bayu not to believe what he heard, but Reva's mouth itself said it.
Want Bayu try to pretend not to hear it, return to LA and live as before, but Reva's request to go back to school somehow can ignite Bayu's emotions, The hard-earned Bayu held all eventual deliverance as well.
Reva had been afraid to return to Indonesia and meet Deka. Bayu realizes that every feeling will be too difficult to just forget, just like Deka who was too deeply hurt because of herself and Reva, as well as Reva's feelings towards Deka.
Bayu spent his night in that narrow room, remembering every incident he went through and making him sob.
Bayu spread his body on the sofa, closed his eyes with one hand, this time, Bayu cried without a sound.

While in Indonesia....
Deka and Sekar are enjoying being a couple, a couple of real halal lovers.
This is life, where the wheels are always spinning, where every actor and actress lives with their respective roles.
If Deka had fallen, wounded, and fallen in his unclean world, then like a tree, now Deka is growing again, becoming a Rose tree that grows with its beautiful flowers, Deka happy, and, Deka was receiving the fruit of her clergy of nurturing poor widows and orphans.
Deka exhaled his cigarette smoke in the house, it's been a long time Deka did not smoke cigarettes, but somehow tonight Deka wanted it.
Deka remembered Reva's speech at the airport, the woman was his sister-in-law now, every pain he had incised had not even completely disappeared, but his words a week ago, had challenged him to return to war.
And the one who is most worried is Bayu, Bayu is wrong to love Reva, Bayu is wrong to ever save himself and Reva...
Deka awakens from her daydream as Sekar shakes his hand.
"Tumben ngrokok again?".
"Just want to". Lying Deka.
"Yes if you want just the same cigarettes, tonight I sleep with the Rose". Saying a similar threat to Deka.
Sekar left Deka, who soon caught up with him.
"I'm sorry, don't sleep in Rose's room, I want you, just you". Said Deka who without Sekar's approval immediately carried Sekar's body into his room, closed the door with his feet, and what happened next? only the lizard on the wall saw it...
