Lunch full of drama was finally finished, then Rose cleaned the dining table, Jasmine Wash the dishes while the Father out followed Adit.
I sat on the edge of the mini fish pond, which was on the terrace of Adit's house. He noticed the colorful little fish running around here and there as if peacefully without burden. "Ah if human life could be as calm as fish" Mr. Sutisna monologue.
At the edge of the pool lined a row of ornamental plants in pots including colorful roses, Pak Sutisna raised one of the red roses in a pot then looked at without daring to pluck.
"May I sit down, sir?" Adit suddenly stood near Mr. Sutisna, venturing to speak.
His Sutis moved his hand sign agreed without speaking, focused on looking at the Rose flowers and then squinting the water you took from the pool soaking the Rose.
"I'm sorry, Adit sir?" the word finally came out of Adit's mouth.
Sir Sutisnya sighed heavily and then lifted the Rose flower in a pot in front of Adit.
"You should know Dit, why you named my daughter Roses" Father rocked the pot.
Adit nodded, this time daring to look at the face of his in-laws. "yes sir." said short.
"Look at this Rose, many small thorns in order to protect themselves, in order to be assertive, and not easily underestimated by others." said the Father of Rose.
"But, why? the one who had picked the rose, couldn't protect it? and he himself underestimated?" "test" the tears of the Father fell on the rose that he bought to put in front of him.
Deg deg deg deg heart Adit pumped quickly realized the words of the Father.
"Roses symbolize love and compassion, giving us the best that is precious in our lives."
"But... Why do roses suffer?"
"Then, with a heavy heart you gave the rose to you. However, you can't give her sincere love." Mr. Sutisna's tears are getting louder. "It turns out that the feeling of the old man is not wrong, Dit, the father once forbade Rose to marry you because of the feeling that your son will be hurt. And it's not wrong, is it?" You pressed his chest.
"Mr.Don't talk so sir" said Adit with his mouth shaking while holding the palm of his in-laws.
"These roses can be planted anywhere, teach us, provided we have commitment and principles in life, it won't be a problem whether we live in the village or in the city will definitely look prominent and can make the environment like it."
"Not like you, new to the lure of the director's post, have dared to turn the direction and make the Rose that many people are proud of become worthless again." Mr. Sutisna wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Father.Do not talk so sir.pardon Adit" Adit hugged Pak Sutisna's leg.
"Aahaha..." Mr. Sutisna laughs in the making when in fact he cries imagining the wound of his son's heart.
"I'm sorry, it's easy to say Dit, but the truth is that the rose has now withered before its time." concluded Mr. Sutisna then put away his daughter-in-law's hand leaving Adit who was still fixated on staring at Mr. Sutisna's back until it disappeared behind the door.
With his guilt Adit caught up with Mr. Sutisna. But he went into the room. Aditpun went into his own room next to Mr. Sutisna's room did not enter the guest room again.
They were both in their rooms, not knowing what they were doing.

In the garden behind the Rose house, two brothers were joking menguejek-uyek his mother's head looking for small gray hair that just grew itchy. However, it feels crumpled if in unplug. (personal experience 🤣🤣🤣)
"Aren't you tired, son? must be for time, morning work all day, night of college, not to mention waking up early in the morning clean-up house." Mom imagines how tired her son is, while Mom just takes care of the housework just feels tired.
"When I want to say Ma'am, the rose has not been loved by momongan. Roses want to moult first, Mom, I have aspirations to open the stitches, next to this house there will be more land, who knows Mas Adit can make shophouses, and, I want to open a small boutique and make our own clothes" said Rose excited.
"Wuih..idea nice brother, later I help ya" Melati chimed in excited.
"Of course, if you already have a baby, is not possible right? leave the child at home, if we have our own business at least can find money without having to leave the child." said Rose enthusiastically.
"Aamiin.hopefully you succeed son" do, a mother.
"That's why I haven't been able to help finance your college Mel" Sighed Roses.
"Don't think about it, brother, we're both adults, I want to work to raise money to be independent like a sister"
"Whatever my brother finance my college with his own brother's sweat money, must be the shadow of Mak Lampir, in the thought of using his son's money." remember Miss Reny Melati was horrified.
"Mac's Attachment?" Mom frowned.
"That older brother is not like Mak Lampir Bu" said Melati remember when Miss Reny scolded her brother.
"Hus! can't talk like that!" Mom nicks her mouth jasmine advises her son.
"Ouch! pain Ma'am" Melati held her lips pouting.
"Makanya.. next time can not talk so" said Ms. Riska.
"Yes Ma'am" said Melati.
"You work away from here, son?" Mom switched the conversation.
"If it's a little far from here, ma'am, but if it's from campus deket."
"Oh yes Ma'am, I forgot to say, who has the company, she said, Mother's best friend" said Mawar.
"Mother's Best Friend? who?" mother asked shaking Rose's hand out of curiosity.
"Mother Sahina, she said she was a friend of Mother's when she was Junior High" said Rawar considering Mama Sahina had told her stories.
"Hahina?" Ms. Riska rounded her eyes. Then with a quick movement tie his hair with the hair ties that he wrapped in his hand.
"Betul Bu, he wanted to meet Mom, often telling me about Mom," said Roses.
"Mom wants to meet him, but does he still want to meet Mother who is a difficult person, while he is already rich now," Mother's spirit immediately sagged. I remember when school used to love fighting over food. But fate says otherwise, in fact Sahina has become a successful person.
"Bu Sahina is different, ma'am, although rich, but not arrogant. Tomorrow, I happen to have no school hours, he also has no school hours, so we can go there." The rose gives the proposal.
"I can not come along, who knows there is a job vacancy, I want to apply" Melati no less excited.
"Boleh dong" sahut Roses.
"Teaching? didn't you say he had a job, still teaching?" Miss Riska is getting curious.
"He takes care of his men, ma'am, he teaches because of his ideals."
"How many children does he have?" I can't wait to know more about my best friend.
"Two Mum, same male girls, I happen to be my college classmate Intan, but different majors, he took college in the morning while I was at night." Roses explained.
"Intan brother? how am I familiar?" Remembering the name Intan.
"Yes, maybe you know, the school will be in the village" said Mawar.
"I'm curious brother, want to quickly meet him as well." concluded Melati.
The conversation stopped, when they heard the ashar Adhan they went inside.
