Seruni Rose

Start a new life

Raka was long. His mother's words still ring clearly in his ears.If first, he would be happy if he got a gap to be able to unite with Amel.

But not for now. How could she marry Amel? While they are brothers-in-law?

What do people say later?

So, where have thoughts like this since yesterday?

Raka's face appeared bruised at several points. His father had angrily beaten him earlier. However, all the pain he felt physically, did not mean anything.

Closing his eyes once more, Raka took a deeper look, about the feeling. There, a shadow of Seruni who was crying bitterly, flashed through his brain. Running while carrying their children with suffering. My God, what kind of man is Raka? Raka cursed herself.

Raka jerks. His heart crumpled with grief instantly. As Seruni's cries flashed, he felt his chest as tight as a result of being hit by Godam with a weight of many kilometers. Sick and painful.

With a steady step, Raka rushed towards her car. Right now, he needed to meet with his in-laws.

Until Raka's car arrives at Herman's residence, Raka then enters and says hello.

Both Herman, Ratna and Amel, they were no less chaotic than him.

This is the first day without Seruni. Runi vanished just like in the swallow of the earth. The tracks are not left behind at all. All the grim faces of the sky are covered in gray clouds. The sky was ready to rain at any moment as lightning roared across the horizon.

"How, Raka? Have you met Seruni?" Ratna asked impatiently. The middle-aged woman's face paled with her cheeks slightly tapered.

Slowly, Raka shook her head.

"Not yet Ma. I checked all the transportation in the city. There was no clue where Seruni was going. I don't go where." Answer Raka slowly.

"It's all because of you guys."

Herman's gaze drew sharply on Raka and Amel alternately.

"Pardon Amel, sir." Said Amel, still with a trembling voice.

"Sorry is not enough to bring Seruni back. That is also if seruni is still willing to return. After all, Seruni is also a mother's son. Even though mother often makes her cry and all this time, differentiates you and your sister.

Mother, Mother also has feelings as a parent who gave birth to Seruni."

Ratna sobbing.

In the past, since Seruni was a child, Ratna and Herman have always been kind. Ratna and Herman realized that. But now it was too late, Seruni had gone somewhere. Its existence can no longer be in the end of the people around it.

What was left at this moment was, the regret of Seruni's family and husband.

"I'm here to tell you something, sir." Raka said steadily.

Raka suddenly started to voice her purpose coming here. He should immediately say what his heart is saying.

"Something what?" Ask Herman.

"I'm sorry, I .. I object to marrying Amel. I ... I will not marry Amel no matter what. Because of me, I love Seruni very much." Raka was firm.

Amel. His lips turned blue as his breathing grew increasingly roaring irregularly.

"What do you mean, mas?" Ask Amel in shock.

"Sorry, Amel. I shouldn't have married you because you're my sister-in-law. I'm khilaf. I am willing to be punished with anything by my family. But please, let me find Runi." Answer Raka.

Herman and Ratna closed their eyes.

They realized, in this case, not only Raka should be blamed, but Amel who contributed in it.

In contrast to Amel, the woman who had just assumed the status of widow was in great shock. He thought, Raka really loves him, in fact all that is just nonsense.

Amel stood up spontaneously. The pain squeezed his heart that felt tight because he felt like he was the losing side.

Not yet had Amel continue his sentence, a slap landed right on Amel's smooth cheek.

"Women are not ashamed of you, Amel!! I am ashamed to have raised a child as selfish as you!! You snatched your own sister's husband!" Ratna just regretted everything.

"You're Nawar Seruni?"

A pretty well-groomed middle-aged woman greeted me for the first time. Then his eyes turned to Tian who was standing next to Seruni while holding Anggi, his daughter.

"Yes, bi. I'm a friend of Andri's, from Jakarta."

Answer Seruni politely. This sincere smile of a woman named Vienna is soothing. While in Jakarta, Ratna's mother rarely even smiled like that at Mawar Seruni.

"Yes, call me Viennese aunt. Don't be so formal. Nak Tian ... How is it here? When to arrive from Jakarta? Let's go in." Take aunt Vienna.

Tian who was tired, finally chose to follow the invitation of Vienna's aunt to enter. The atmosphere of his house was indeed quiet as Andri said.

"Here too, Auntie. I happen to be a car with a rose."

"Oh that, yeah. His name is unique. The Lions Rose." Said bi Vienna.

Tian and I sat on the living room couch. Then the mini suitcase I brought from Jakarta, was dragged to a room near the family room.

We engaged in a light conversation, until Anggi whined asking for sleep. It was Tian's pleasure to return to his home not far from Vienna's aunt's house.

"Well, play here later, yeah. Agi wants to play with the Rose."

Said Anggi suddenly. Everyone looked at Anggi.

"Yes, if you're not tired, are you?"

The little girl nodded, and then left.

Seruni had thought, if the relationship and her husband were okay. Maybe in the next years, surely his son will stick with Raka.

Butno. Seruni thought, Raka does not love him at all. The only thing in Raka's heart was Amel. Remembering her brother's name, it was like Seruni screamed to curse her brother who crossed her boundaries as a brother.

"Come, in. You must be exhausted. Andri said, you're pregnant. You can't be stressed and work too hard." Said Aunt Vienna for the first time, after the year home.

Aunt Vienna led Seruni to the room she had prepared for her.

The rose felt like it had a real mother. The warm attitude of Vienna's aunt, made her moved.

"Thank you, bi. maybe some time in the future, I will definitely trouble auntie".

The Seruni Rose Slowly. Imagining life by depending on others even if only for some time, makes the Rose feel embarrassed.

"It's okay. By the way, you want to change your nickname to Rose?".

The rose confirmed.

"good. Oh yes, it seems that between you and Tian, you guys are a good match. Tian is not just cute and nice. But also established. It's just that, the news that I heard, all his assets in Jakarta were left because there were too many memories with his late wife." Reveal bi Vienna is increasingly smoothed.

"I'm still a wife, Bi." The Roses later.

"Yes, not aunty meant anything. Aunty is just a story about Tian, nothing more." His word.

The smiling rose understood. In this place, roses start a new life.
