Dowager Bohay

The Heart of Roses

Papa Djiwa approached and confirmed that his vision was correct. "Don't tell me that you released the important tender yesterday to Rendi? You'd rather be a thug out there than win a big-value tender?" nagging Papa again.

The body that still feels pain plus Papa's ravings make the pain that Djiwa feels feels double. "Not being a thug but I fight with market thugs" replied Djiwa honestly.

"Why do you have to fight with market thugs? Where did you come from? Where's the body guard that used to look after you?" tanya Papa's tubing.

"The soul must explain where Djiwa went with Papa? Pa, Djiwa's grown up. Don't mostly rule the life of the soul."

"Curvy, matured snobs. If you grow up, you will not lose the tender and even get a wound on your face. If until Mama you know, you can end up having a scolding. You know for yourself how your Mama keeps your face until willing to spend a lot of money?" papa's nagging is long.

Djiwa did not respond to Papa's rant and resumed his work. Papa Djiwa sat in a chair and continued to pay attention to his son's bruised face and Djiwa's occasional grimacing movements in pain.

"Have you been to the doctor?" ask Papa. Apparently worried also with the state of the son alone wayangnya.

"Udah," replied the short soul.

"What does the doctor say?"

"Yes .. bonyok. His name is also out of the fight. I'm a real man, Pa. Battered energy. It's not Papa who never fights at all. Diomelin Mama alone Papa directly obedient," said Djiwa.

"Father fight with the brain, not with your muscles!" reply Papa. "Obati right wound you up and get another tender to replace your defeat today!"

"Yes, baffles!" Djiwa smiles wryly. Papa is easily angry but unfortunately makes his anger can also quickly disappear like now.

Papa stood up and walked to the door. Before coming out, Papa still had time to insinuate Djiwa. "Then find a wife, let someone do it!"

After Papa left the room, Djiwa answered. "Udah has no!"

The rose returns to daydreaming while cleaning the vegetables. The soul of today leaves for the office and leaves the Rose with many thoughts.

"Why again?" Lily came over and put an empty basin on the table. Lily was intending to clean the vegetables beside the Rose while inviting her to chat.

"I now know Ly, who is Mas Purnomo's real killer," Mawar said in a whisper. Ms. Sari and Ms. Nia were in the kitchen and no buyers had arrived yet, but Roses still feared that someone else would hear other than Lily.

"Oh yeah? Who?" Lily's eyes were round hearing the words Rose.

"Mas Jamal."

"Mas Jamal? Wasn't he the man who scared you? Why did he kill?"

"Mas Djiwa's been chasing Mas Jamal, Ly. They arrested Mas Jamal and managed to make Mas Jamal confess his actions in the past. Mas Purnomo was indeed poisoned when eating my homemade provisions, all because Mas Jamal gave the poisoned chili to Mas Pur. Mas Djiwa said that Mas Jamal was also almost killed because he did not know that the sauce in his hand contained poison. He didn't eat that time and hid when he saw me coming" said Rose.

"Yes, Mas Djiwa said his name was Mas Anton. Mas Djiwa is still finding out the whereabouts of Anton mas who had escaped yesterday."

Lily smiled happily at the happy news from the Rose. The real culprit of the murder of Rose's ex-husband is now known.

"Why do you even look sad? Shouldn't you be happy? As long as we are cellmates you know, you always blame yourself and even assume that you are the murderer of Mas Pur. The condition of Mas Pur who died after eating supplies from you must have made you think a little and feel that yourself did kill Mas Pur. Now everything is clear, it was not you who killed Mas Pur. Your attitude that has been defending yourself is right. You're not a murderer, why are you still sad?" ask Lily.

"You know not Li, what killed Mas Pur?" Lily shook her head.

"Mas Pur was killed for filming something. In the recording contains a wealthy businessman who is willing to do anything for the smooth running of the business he runs. I don't think Ly, Mas Pur isn't spreading to anyone the tape, anyway,"

"When he returned from Jakarta, Mas Pur looked terrified and kept shutting himself up. Why would that person take the life of Mas Pur? What is wrong with Pur? Now I think, if until that person knows Mas Djiwa investigated this case, will the fate of Mas Djiwa be the same as Mas Pur? I never imagined Ly would be a widow twice. I don't want to lose Mas Djiwa. The man, although he had a lot to hide, I loved him very much. I don't want to lose Mas Djiwa."

Lily frowned. "The thing that was hidden? What is the same thing that Djiwa hides?" Lily was very curious about what the Roses knew. Just like Roses, Lily also felt Mas Djiwa and Mas Rendi was very suspicious. Despite being explained and given an understanding, Lily was not that easy to believe.

"The night we watched the video owned by Mas Pur, the face of a woman I knew was visible. I was surprised and even more surprised when Mas Djiwa was shocked and said as if he knew the woman."

"Women? Whose woman?"

"The woman in the video is the son of a famous businessman who came to my village first. Mas Pur idolized the woman. I am not jealous, I realize Mas Pur idolizes only as an inspirational figure. To my surprise, Mas Djiwa seemed to know the woman. Does he know? The answer is doubtful, too" lamented the Rose.

"Oh yeah? What's-her-name? I don't know him either?" ask Lily.

"I don't know if you know or not. I remember that woman was very smart. His name is Melati, the famous businessman son of Mr. Danar Hadi."

Lily was very surprised to hear what Rose said. His mouth opened and he quickly covered it with his hands. "Darken?"

The rose was now looking at Lily with a question mark. "Yes, why? You know him too? Is that woman as famous as this?"

"That's .. I know."

The rose scrunched his forehead. "Know where?" Rose then searched for a photo of Melati on her cellphone which yesterday she had a photo from a video belonging to Mas Pur who was paused and then showed the woman's face to Lily. "It's his face. You really know?"

Somewhat hesitant but Lily finally nodded. "D-yes."

"Know where?" rose Cecar. Lily looked at her deeply. Lily opened her eyes, hesitant to answer but unwilling to lie to her best friend.

"Melati .. never come to your shop."
