Rose Flower



🌺🌺🌺


Intan heard the voice of sobs. The sound of crying was heard rising-drowning carried away as breeze. Intan who was curious to find the source of the sound, it turns out that a patient was crying, under the patient's feet there are some roses that may have just been picked. As Intan approached, he saw blood in the patient's hand. Probably due to lack of care when taking flowers.


Intan then squatted beside the patient, observed carefully it turns out a middle-aged woman with short hair, there are still remnants of youthful beauty on the woman's face. What makes a woman this beautiful to be in a hospital like this? What kind of burden of life holds him? intan wondered.


Intan was looking for plaster in her little bag. Since being in the Panti plaster is a mandatory thing that must be brought Intan, minor accidents that occur in children make it easier for him to give first aid. First he swept the cotton that had been first moistened with alcohol to the injured part and lastly he paired the plaster.


After Intan finished and packed the rest of his medical equipment, suddenly the patient got up and grabbed Intan's hair tightly, and he just screamed for help.


"Please..."


"You thief, thief don't steal my son. Go you, go!" shouted the patient while continuing to pull Intan's hair.


Intan whose pregnancy has bloomed is powerless to defend himself until it falls down. The nurses arrive to help Intan and separate the patient from her.

Intan was sitting limp in the nurses' dugout. A nurse came to give him a glass of water. He drank it straight to the toilet. A middle-aged nurse who claims to be named Sister Minah apologizes to Intan


"I'm sorry for our negligence so that the unwanted things happen to Mom."


"My name is Intan, just call Intan, I am an intern teacher at Bumi Kasih orphanage, not far from here," Intan said introducing himself.


Sister Minah nodded.


"I'm sorry, I don't mean to make the patient feel disturbed, I just treat the wound unconsciously because it's used to carrying plaster for children"


"I know Nak Intan's intentions well, it's just that Ms. Maria does have a trauma with long hair, Ms. Maria will lose control if she sees a long-haired woman near her," explained Sister Minah.


"Really!" Intan was a little in disbelief, but still nodded in agreement.


"I always cut my hair short"


Mangosteen intan.


"How long has Maria been here?"


"For quite a long time, the building and garden here son of Ny Maria, even the garden was designed by his son, with flowers of the yellow favorite of Ny Maria."


"Normally Ms. Mary would take flowers to change the vase in her room. But today something unwanted happened, because of my negligence. I apologize profusely for everything that happened today. Nak Intan also has to check the content who knows anything happened."


"I feel good, but later in the afternoon the time for routine control so all let the doctor monitor the development. Don't feel guilty, Sister," replied Intan soothingly.


Intan then pampit back to the home because soon his schedule gives tutoring. However, Intan promised himself he would come back here.


The mystery of yellow roses throughout the garden area makes Intan remember his Papa. Her face always looks sad when she sees yellow flowers. On the other hand, here there is a person who loves yellow flowers too much to the point that despite being in an unstable condition his love for yellow flowers is still unchanged.


"What's wrong if I want to get to know a little further, who knows I can also understand why Papa doesn't like yellow so much" Intan thought on the way home. Because busy thinking, Intan until not realize a silver sports car passing through it, if Intan saw it, he must have memorized, the car is someone's favorite.

Rayan rushed to visit her mother as soon as she got a phone call that her mother attacked someone. Umtung course Rayan was in an area close to the hospital, so he could hurry. He was so hasty that he did not realize the person he was looking for, he longed to be very close to him. Rayan did not see Intan walking in the opposite direction with him, fate has not brought them together.


"Mother has not been like this for a long time" Rayan said while conversing with Sister Minah.


"Madam is still traumatized by long hair, it reminds her of bad memories."


Rayan sighed to see her mother who slept late due to sedatives. He was sad to see the development of his mother.


"Who was attacked by my mother?" ask Rayan.


"The apprentice teacher at the orphanage is not far from here, the person is very nice, fortunately nothing bad happened, because the teacher was pregnant old."


Rayan looked at Sister Minah with worry.


"Just calm down, nothing bad happens. The teacher was only treating the mistress' wounds from the roses, but as soon as the mistress realized the teacher had long hair, the mistress became provoked by her emotions."


"Make sure security is tightened, lest there are unauthorized guests let alone long-haired ones near my mother" said Rayan firmly. He was angry because his mother's psychic condition should have been better.


"Okay sir," replied Sister Minah obediently.


Rayan then said goodbye, Sister Minah could only look at the young man's back, what a pity, Madam Maria should have made progress, but with this incident maybe her condition would have regressed. May soon the mistress be healed, Sister Minah's prayer sincere.
