"Mother, please don't let us get kicked out of this house" whispered the Rose that afternoon to her mother who was busy looking through the jewelry in the room. His father was reading the newspaper on the couch, with a cup of warm tea on the table.
"What are you talking about? Come here to talk like that."
"Stttt!! Speaking slowly, you will hear me." Roses tugging at the end of Ms. Jamila's clothes.
"Some of you talk like that, I don't want to work anymore. So you have to survive here! So you have to set a strategy to get Arjuna's heart."
"I don't want to be with Mr. Arjuna, but he's too late. It's hard to get her, me ... " Roses make a smile, "I love it, Mom." The rose immediately covered its face with its hands while smiling gemash.
The plot!
His mother touched his ears which made him grimace in pain.
"If dreams don't go far! The medicine in front of my eyes!" his mother said, then kept busy with the jewelry in hand.
"What are you talking about, whispers?" ask Father.
"Kepo the Father! I read the newspaper there!" timpal Rose, his father just shook his head. The rose whispered in her mother's ear.
"Mom don't let Melati's secret get caught, yeah!"
Her mother was dumb, staring at her son's face in disbelief. He held his son's forehead, afraid his son had a fever.
"Are you sick, by the way?"
"Ih! Serious roses!! We can be kicked out with him if we get caught."
Her mother's eyes were poking suspicious of her son.
"Why are you?"
"Yes!!" Roses whine like a child. "Please keep Jasmine's secret so we can continue to stay here. I don't want to be away from the handsome Doctor. Yes, Madam ... " Roses pleading.
"Yes!! This kid, if you have the will!!" his mother said grimly. "Review if it doesn't work out to get his heart! Arjuna didn't get it, he didn't get it either. Could be poor again us!!" his mother snapped afraid of being heard by her husband.

"Sir, what about our promise to the rose that will continue her studies?" gilsa asked in the middle of the car.
"Yes, just lecture him. I also plan to have Melati continue her school."
"Okay sir, I'll take care of it for Madam Melati."
"Yes, take care of it. I'll talk to Melati tonight. Maybe he wants to finish high school, we can take package C, after that put him in a special lecture majoring in dance arts. He can open his own course later."
"Good idea, sir," said Gilsa from the front seat.
"It was a bad idea, yeah!"
"It's not like that. Forgive me!"
Arjuna smiled as he shook his hands in front of his face and said "I'm just kidding Gilsa."
"Yes, sir," replied Gilsa with a flat face.
'Ahh Gilsa is always stiff, how does Regi deal with a woman as cold as him?'
Arjuna glanced at Regi from the rearview mirror, then gave a smile imagining how boring it would be if he lived with Gilsa. Arjuna patted Regi's shoulder.
"Yes, Sir."
"You're patient, yes!" arjuna said with a laugh. Not understanding the driver just silence while glancing at Gilsa who is also just silent.

That night Melati was reading a fairy tale to Revi. The boy happily and enthusiastically listened and asked many things to his adoptive mother.
"Emm," Melati thought. "Not all of our mischievous behavior should be followed by his behavior, enough of which is fine. For example, a kancil story that stole cucumbers in the garden of Mr. Tani. We don't follow a stealing deer, that's not good. But, the attitude of the deer who willingly apologized to Pak Tani for eating all the cucumbers in his garden, it was the right action. So the point is, don't be shy about apologizing if we're doing something wrong." Melati tried to explain.
"Oh, so, Ma." Revi nodded his head a few times, a sign of understanding.
"Hoam!!" Revi's yawning.
"You are sleepy, sleep!" Melati enveloped Revi's tiny body all the way to her waist.
"Yes, Mama Melati," she said with my eyes, curbing sleepiness.
The woman kissed Revi's forehead, then inched down from the bed. After believing the boy was asleep, he turned off the light. Jasmine came out of the room and closed the door.
It's almost 21:00 pm Arjuna hasn't come home yet. Melati decided to wait on the sofa while turning on the TV. Without realizing it, his eyes closed, Melati fell asleep.
At about 22:05 pm Arjuna came home. He pressed the bell repeatedly, but there was no answer. Finally the man took the spare key and opened the door himself. He looked inside and the room looked quiet.
Arjuna stepped in after changing his shoes with sandals. When passing the sofa he saw his wife was asleep with the television still on. Arjuna smiled, then the road approached. He sat crouched down near his wife, and looked at her sweet face. Arjuna gently rubbed his wife's face, but suddenly Melati was delirious.
"Ma .. Sorry Melati lied to Mama, sorry Ma ... " Then the thin lips clenched back tightly, then again heard his smooth snoring.
'Darling do you feel guilty about all this? I'm sorry, I have to take you in this lie, all I do so we can always be together.'
Arjuna came closer and kissed his wife's forehead with awe. His heart was saddened to hear his wife delirious. Arjuna knew, this was not an easy thing for him either. Once lying he had to keep lying for other things to cover up other lies as well, and sin of course widened everywhere, but Arjuna was forced.
Arjuna bowed deeply, he would muster up the courage to be honest with his mother, just not now. After a long pensive look at Melati's face, Arjuna lifted the wife's body into the room. He carefully laid his wife's body.
After believing his wife did not wake up, Arjuna stepped into the bathroom, cleaning himself up. After bathing the man immediately went through Isya prayer. In prayer he asked for forgiveness for lying to his mother. In prayer he pleaded to be united with his wife Melati Kusuma, the woman he loved the most.
Arjuna rubbed his face with both hands, a sign that he had finished praying. He went out to the balcony and called his mother.
Phone connection is connected.
"Hello Honey, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Vaalaikumsalam, Ma. What again? Already eaten?"
"This is again sitting watching TV with Mbok. I ate, why? Have you eaten?"
"Good health, Ma. Nothing, I want to cook your favorite food."
Mom laughed. "Kok tumben, usually you are the most males masakin Mama. Our tongue tastes different. Mama likes sweet, and you don't."
Arjuna just smiled, then was silent.
"Right ... "
"Yes, Ma.".
" Why diem? You're okay, right?"
Arjuna was silent, his vision was far away staring at the sparkling city of Jakarta.
"Ma ... "
"Yes? Why, if there's a story problem with Mama."
"Ma, there's something Arjuna wants to say."
"Yes, Son. Just say it."
Arjuna turned around, looked at Melati who was lying inside, then his lips spoke.
"Ma, actually .... "
