In haste Arka entered into the house of the palace. "Ma! Where's mama?" yell that man.

Holding her dizzy head Rita approached Arka. "Whether did you return to this house Arka?" ketus Rita's.

"Ma, one of Arka's children lived Ma was Arka abis carried him, my goodness he was handsome like Arka," said Arka enthusiastically.

Rita sat on the sofa trying to digest her only child. "You're Halu Arka? You forgot your two children died because of you!" rita Snaps.

Arka squirms in front of her mother. "Geez Ma, Arka seriously named Matteo during this time Rose hid him because it was still traumatized and shocked" said Arka.

"It's all you! Now Mama is difficult to meet her own granddaughter. The wounds of the rose are too deep! It's not that easy he forgives you" Rita said.

The middle-aged woman continued to hold onto her dizzy head until she finally lost consciousness.

"Oh my goodness, Mom! wake Ma!" yell Arka.

Arka immediately asked for security assistance at her home to take Rita to the hospital.

With a feeling full of anxiety Arka drove forward the car quickly. "Jeez Mama why suddenly rich gini Ma wake up please Ma do not stay in Arka, Arka already have no one but Mama," said Arka.

Rita opened her eyes, since Arka always did her mind never calm she felt failed to educate her child. Failing as a mother.

"Ma, Mama is awake. Thank God," said Arka breathing a sigh of relief.

"Mommy wants to meet Roses with Mama's grandchildren, please help Mama meet them. Mama is afraid of the age of Mama soon ..," said Rita to Arka.

"Mama don't talk carelessly, Mama will keep the same Arka until anytime. Arka promise Ma Arka will change Arka will be the responsibility of the same child Arka. Arka will be more git advance our company from Mama's healed, Arka promise." The man spoke until tears were shed.

"Mama just want to meet the Rose with Mama's granddaughter, you bring her here. Mama please," pinta Rita expectantly.

Arka wiped her tears. "Yes, Mama, take a break tomorrow morning Arka pick them up, okay?"

Rita nodded her head. His body was now feeling weak and his head seemed to want to break.

Before Rita woke up Arka had left for Bandung to Villa in the Rose.

He was not at all sure the Rose would want to obey his wishes, even it seemed like the Rose was disgusted by one car with him but all for the sake of his mother whatever he would do.

After almost 2 hours because it was stuck in traffic finally Arka reached the Villa. Arka knocks on the door slowly and soon the Rose opens it while carrying Matteo.

Rose was so surprised to see the arrival of Arka, he did not expect Arka would be desperate to see him again.

"Mas Arka? Why are you here again?" ask the Rose.

"Rose I beg you I need your help, Mama's sick Mama whines and keeps asking to see you with Matteo. I beg you to come with me for a moment" said Arka pleading.

"Mama's sick? What sick mom? Where is he now? Is it all right?" ask the rose many times. She knew her mother-in-law was a good person and loved her very much, Rose could not bear to hear her former mother-in-law was sick.

"Later to tell a story on the important road you want to come, just a moment. Consider us sodara do not consider us ex," said Arka.

Without a second thought Rose agreed to her ex-husband's request because it concerned her mother-in-law.

"I'm ready first" said the Rose.

A few minutes later the rose was ready. The rose came out while locking the door. Arka was slightly amazed to see the rose that was getting more beautiful even with thin makeup.

"Come, I don't have long" said Rose.

*****

Arriving at the hospital Arka invites Roses to walk quickly until without Roses realize Arka grasps tightly his hands while running small.

After arriving in front of the room Rose realized and then released Arka's hand. "Aware we are no one," said Rose firmly.

"Sorry," Arka brief.

"Let me be a nurse, the nurse can come out" said Roses.

"Mama's roses love you very much" said Rita and hugged the Rose tightly.

Matteo who was being carried by Arka did not understand anything just the babble that came out of his mouth.

"Mama cepet healthy yes, sorry Roses are much wrong with Mama," said Roses.

The tears of Rita were unceasingly falling. "You're never wrong, baby, you're a good girl" Rita said, letting go of her arms and looking at Matteo.

"It's grandma's granddaughter, oh my goodness, so handsome Mama can be fat?"

"Mama is still weak already alone yes, later if it's better new Mama play with Matteo." Arka.

"So his name is Matteo, my goodness it's so good, so rich mama is healed." Rita.

"Ma, don't move too much yes enough rest aja Arka worried Mama's headache relapses again," concluded Arka.

"Mama Seneng can meet you again Rose, after months you leave home even after divorce Mama never see you again" said Rita.

The rose smiled thinly. "Sorry Roses yes Ma, Roses are just ..,"

"It's a shame don't have to discuss all this wrong Arka, not your fault." Cut Rita.

"Yes Ma, no need to talk about it. Mama eat again continue I bribe ya," said Rose.

Around 12 noon Arka was called to the doctor's office. Arka felt her mother was in ordinary pain but it turned out that the doctor's speech was so heartbreaking.

Arka came out of the doctor's room with her eyes soft, wanting to feel like she was shouting as loud as she could.

On the other hand the Rose was guarding Matteo who was asleep on the mattress while Rita was soundly asleep in her bed.

Arka entered the VVIP room, trying hard with the current state.

"Why are you?" ask Roses.

Instantly Arka hugged the Rose tightly while crying without a sound.

"Mas .., "weep the Rose.

"Please permit me to hug you, for a moment my world is being destroyed," said Arka continued to cry.

The rose fell silent without returning Arka's embrace, who used to always expect this close embrace but this time everything was numb.

Suddenly, Rita woke up, wailing in pain. Instantly Arka released her embrace from the Rose.

"Ma, Mama why?" the Rose approached him in panic.

Arka shouted to the doctor. Rita is getting weaker but has not lost consciousness.

"Arka .., Roses ..," he wrote.

"Why is it?" the Rose and Arka.

Rita redin hands Roses and Arka then put their hands together. "You're not strong, Mama, please get married again for the sake of your child." He said slowly and then slowly his eyes closed.

"Ma, Mama's up" Arka said in a panic.

The doctor came in and checked on Rita but her pulse was gone. "Sorry sir, the patient's mother is no longer there" said the doctor.

Arka cried roaring while hugging her mother, regret only remains regret. The guilt is getting worse.

The rose wept while trying to calm Arka.
