Not as Beautiful as Roses
chapter 83
After returning home from the hospital Mawar ventured to return to the Religious Court.
Today she wears a purple dress reflecting on herself that will become a single parent.
The rose chooses to take care of all alone without asking Mirna or anyone for help. His unanimous decision to live alone made him stronger and wanted to get things done soon.

When he got there the rose came down from the taxi, it was heavy to step foot into the building.
'Today I want to finish it all, a story that should never have started. A story that should have never existed before. From the beginning I always tried to survive hoping things would get better but apparently it was the same as killing myself slowly. Mas Arka I know you're a good person, I can still even see your good side until this second. I don't know what makes you heart continue to hurt me even make your son go first.' Inner Rose.
One by one his feet went up the stairs, sad, disappointed, bitter all mixed into one.
"Roses?"
His steps stopped hearing the call, the voice was no stranger to him. The voice that he had longed for his tenderness but never delivered.
The rose turned its body looking for the source of the sound, as soon as its body stiffened to see who was in front of it at this moment.
Likewise with someone he was not even able to blink to see the beauty of the Rose with a purple dress that he was wearing.
The two of them stared long enough, until without feeling a circle of tears fell on the smooth cheeks of the Rose.
'That gentle call that I had been hoping for but never heard until finally at this ending point I just heard it. Thank you for using that tone for me, "he said.
"Are you okay?" ask Arka Dewantara. A man who knows where he's putting his conscience.
"I'm okay," answered the short Rose and wiped away her tears.
"Everything's happened, Mom, I hope you never show up in front of me again after this." Firm Rose.
"I am a coward and a useless husband to you, I can never fight this selfishness in me. I'm a fool who's been wasting women as sincere as you are" Arka said.
"You don't have to come to this place, Mas, I'll take care of everything alone." Rose Speak.
"Yes, I know that's why I came here looking for you. You're a great woman who has unlimited patience while I'm a stupid man it's easy for you to get my replacement, while I ..,"
"Quite Mas, I don't want to hear anything else from your mouth, we'll get everything done as soon as possible. You can live without me who has charged you, you can live without having a woman hurt again" said Rose quivering.
"I just realized you're not a burden at all, you're a gift God gave me but I never realized it" Arka's tears fell unbearably.
"You know, I lost my son because of you. You pushed me back then and forced the doctor to take my son at that time at the age of 6 months," explained Rose tearfully.
Arka glanced at the belly of the Rose that was not as big as last week.
"Geez why I'm so stupid" said Arka incessantly crying.
"Even I can come here alone when my surgical suture wound is not dry, but Mas this wound is nothing compared to the wound you have been giving all this time!" resolute Rose.
"Roses, I don't know what else to say to you, I'm stupid and useless" Arka said, trying to hold the hand of the Rose but the Rose brushed it off.
"You don't have to say anything, just don't ever show up in front of me. Was this all you wanted? I don't want to hear anything anymore, excuse me." Said the Rose then entered the room of the Religious Court.
