Blue Rose
Refusing to Surrender
After making me fall so deep, now you're asking me to stop? You forget, I'm also the main character here.

Little Rey loves a cartoon series called Jimmy Newtron. A boy with a bigger head. It was said that it was because his brain was too genius. Like scientists who are able to make a variety of new and cutting-edge discoveries.
That's why Rey loves the lab and all kinds of experiments in it. His brain is very responsive to chemical formulas and atomic theory. He was obsessed with making new breakthroughs, such as making a mind-reading tool of the girl in front of this for example.
“I refuse.” Rey took off her tiny hand grip on her big palm.
Turning his face away, Rey refused to be touched and eventually relented. Because the face of the flood of tears with the nose and reddened eyes it seduces Rey to cupped him, then bring in the crib. Then like a magic spell, Rey would say, “Good, Mr.”
No. gabe. Rey won't let any of this float away. He was already splashed, half wet. For what he rises to the surface if nothing is gained. In fact, curiosity will suffer until the end of life. Let him drown, even if dying was a risk he had to take, at least he died in peace.
Selly rounded her eyes, surprised by Rey's rejection. For God's sake, he doesn't want Rey to get sick anymore. Lying to the young man was very difficult for him.
Removing a trail of tears on her cheek with both hands, Selly looked at the time marker in the car, 17:14 plastered on the digital watch. His mother must have been waiting.
“Rey, plis!" said Selly with a bindeng voice, “don't make it more complicated. Understand me, hm?”
Nah, right? Rey almost waved a white flag to hear the heartwarming tone of the woman who had the most influence on her heart work. Then the powerful way is to avoid, act head stone, and care for the ears.
The young man, opening the door beside him, went down. Let Selly shout her name and chase her into the hospital.
“Rey, wait!”
“Rey!”
Accelerating the pace, Rey's foot-tiered foot climbed onto the hospital aisle floor. There was no need to ask or be afraid of going the wrong way, as his brain still sharply recalled the path to the Jasmine-052 space.
Like dejavu, Selly had once felt this feeling. Exasperated at once greget. Want to punch and bite a young man named Rey Atmaja. The man somehow turned into a wayward child again. Obstinately. He did not touch the cry of Selly who had made some people glance at the uncomfortable in his direction. Some glared, as if warning Selly that the place he was in right now was where people needed calm. Not a market or terminal, where people are free to make loud noises.
Instead Selly bit her own lower lip. Prevent the talking device from letting out the hook again. Accelerating the step, almost running is the way taken in order to catch up with the long leg in front of him.
But he had to give up the second when the man's hand held the door leaf and said hello.
“Assalamualaikum.” Rey's face poked following his sturdy body after getting a salutation.
With a thick face, Rey approached Dita who looked a little surprised. Experiencing the middle-aged woman by touching the back of the hand to the forehead.
“How are Aunty Dita?” greet Rey is friendly.
“Ba-ik,” Reply Published, “Who are you?” the woman shakes her head, rummaging through the memory that records the young man's beautiful face.
“I—“
The girl performed the ritual of kissing her hands and cheeks to her mother, then turned to Rey who showed off a sweet smile of honey.
“Dia Rey, Bu.” Selly reluctantly mentions Rey's name to her mother. There was no way he would throw the man out now.
“Rey?” Dita repeated the familiar name in her ear, scraping in the scattered memory fragments, the next second the dark brown net was sparkling. “That time nganterin Selly go home huh?” His skinny pointer leads to Rey's face which is also sparkling because Dita remembers it, even though their first meeting was only a glance.
“Yes right, Aunt.” Netra Rey ran a scan of Dita's appearance who was no longer wearing the patient's uniform as well as a large brown bag lying on top of a long sofa.
“Tante wants to go home, son Rey,” said Dita peppered with a million-watt smile on her face that is still pale.
Like getting an idea, the twinkle in Rey's eyes grew brighter. The man then said the thing that made Selly more inflamed. “Yes, Auntie, just happened to be Selly asking me to come pick up, Aunt.”
Sally widened her eyes, what kind of theatrics is Rey currently playing? He could only grumble inwardly while not letting out a sword-sharp look at the young man.
“O, yes, so ngrepotin this,” said Dita, then embrace Selly and say that he should not be troublesome others.
“No, Aunt,” refutes Rey before Selly speaks. “I'm even happy to help.”
A smile as bright as the sun at the beginning of the morning was pinched on the lips of both. While Selly hunglai in place, a wry smile that he could force.
“Nak Rey,” Dita's remarks made the two people in front of her focus attention. “Thank you yes.”
“Iya Aunty, don't hesitate.”
“Thank you for contributing to operating costs Mom.”
The news delivered Dita made Rey furrow her eyebrows, then the young man glanced at Selly. The girl cleared her throat. “Iya Rey thanks yes, there should be no need to bother here too.” Showing the best smile, as well as a signal so that Rey participate in the play that Selly made.
Smiling broadly, Rey patted Selly on the shoulder. “Anytime, Cell.”

After redeeming the medicine and completing the final administration, Selly returned to the nursery. Watching his loved ones in warm conversation. As if they had known for a long time. Like a close friend who shares stories after a day of activity.
Exhaling, Selly admitted defeat. He'll let this time. Seeing the mother's heartfelt laughter coming out of her mouth cavity made Selly realize how lonely they had been all along. Living the day just two, reluctant to socialize because of the trauma that was created. Maybe Dita needs entertainment, not just sad when they are close together.
Maybe Rey is indeed as fun as that, making people comfortable by her side is a youth skill that can even be quite annoying. Sally snorted, why was the young man too special in her eyes.
Mobile phone vibration inside sling bag, make Selly focus switch. One message came in from an anonymous contact but he had already memorized who the sender was.
Operation mismanaged. Cost settled. Case closed's.
The message that brought Selly back to earth where she should have been. Slapping will be a reality that was forgotten.
