Seruni Rose

A Mother's Desire

The night was quiet, as Herman and his wife walked to a nearby hotel. After his departure from the Rima house, suddenly Herman became quiet, feeling guilty and like being chased by sin. Somehow at first, Herman didn't quite understand, but he seemed to be unsettled.

So too with Ratna who just kept quiet. There was no talk they said. Only an occasional rude snort sign that he was exhausted.

"How is this, sir? What if Miss Rima doesn't forgive us? Or, or imprison you? What is the fate of Amel's mother? Seruni and Kia also desperately need a father." Ratna asked in a soft tone of voice.

"It's important that we try, ma'am. Whatever the decision of Miss Rima later, at least we already have good intentions to apologize, come all the way and try to improve. If he can apologize as long as we turn on Mr. Gunawan, yes Father where can? You just give it to God. Suppose also that we come to Surabaya, to visit Runi and our grandchildren." Herman smiled at his wife, trying to cover up her grief this time.

"Mother salut equally Father, great Father, can have such a broad heart." Ratna patted her husband on the shoulder, looking at Herman affectionately.

Without feeling, the two had arrived at the hotel room where they were staying, not to forget, Herman had also been provided with food by the Rose, for them to eat in the room later.

"Sir, I want to talk to you, Father." Ratna said, on the sidelines they had dinner. There is something that stifles Ratna's feelings about their firstborn.

"By the way, ma'am, I've been talking to you." Herman answered while putting food in his mouth.

Cuisine of the Seruni Rose, his daughter's delicious, makes Herman seem floppy and able to spend it all.

"It's about Amel, sir. I don't know why, I'm suddenly sad if I remember the boy. You know for yourself, if he was heartbroken since Raka rejected him, and more chasing Runi. How good is the child, sir, so I can sincerely release Raka?" Ratna is no longer interested in continuing to eat, considering that Amel who until now has not received a replacement for Arya, her ex-husband, makes Ratna sad.

"You want to be in Gimanain again, ma'am? It was Amel's own fault. From the beginning, Amel should have known the risks of his actions, but he was determined to tempt Raka. According to the father, the real victim was Runi, not Amel. If you have to pity, yes, you are more pity Runi, it is." Herman replied casually, as if he and his wife were discussing the matter of food.

"Yes, sir. But according to Ibu, Runi has calmed down, the child is also arguably established and independent. When compared with Amel, try to see Amel, he even often daydreams, work is also that. I don't have that forward thinking." Ratna.

The woman's eyes looked at her husband who was eating voraciously. Even Ratna could not afford to eat, and instead preferred to look at her husband.

"Brother doesn't bother. You don't want to side with anyone now. Come to think of it, they're both adults, Mom. They have the right to decide the path they want to take. With Amel kayaking a year ago, that means he is ready for all the risks and consequences. Moreover, he is more mature in age, when compared to Runi." But Herman, still eating voraciously.

"Yes too, sir. But don't know why, I feel sorry for Amel." Ratna.

"Now aja gini, ma'am, Runi with his attitude and also his behavior that has not liked to be regulated, and more inclined to his barbaric nature, compared to the obedient Amel, who has always been very strict, we used to ignore and be too harsh with Runi. See now, a submissive child like Amel, it is not as successful and mature as Runi. According to my mother, how?" Herman looked at his wife.

"Mr does not agree at all, if he and Raka are united. Until then." Herman finished his finished meal, sipped water and closed the Rose's lunch box.

"Well, why don't you agree that Amel is reuniting with Raka again?" Ratna asked in astonishment.

"Why not, sir? They love each other. And again, Raka has also been widowed for a long time."

"What is this mother? Why are you so concerned about Amel's feelings, anyway? Amel must get another man, as well as Raka. It is precisely here that Seruni flavorings must be thought of, Mom. Oh no, not Runi, but Kia's feelings. More and more Kia must grow up, understand and be able to observe the affairs of adults. What the boy would think, if his pakdhe, was his real father. Didn't you think about it?" Herman glared at Ratna, making Ratna shut up and just bowing her head.

"Yes, sir. The wrong mother. I'm sorry, I won't be siding with Amel anymore." Ratna said softly. The woman was really hard to see Amel suffer.

"Next time don't repeat this kind of talk, ma'am. You don't like it when you're on Amel's side, or even to Runi. They are both our children. Past mistakes that are less decisive and tend to be favoritism, making you regret after losing Runi. Now that we're mending a relationship with our youngest daughter, please don't make it up to me to expect Raka and Amel to be together again. Ngagk would agree."

Tandas Herman's.

Ratna was silent, thinking and digesting what her husband was saying. All that Herman said was true, so far he tends to be favoritism and like at will in defending children.

"Sir, what if we find a man for Amel, who can accept the status of Amel's widow and is willing to guide Amel? I mean, let's just get Amel." Ratna saw her husband breathing a long sigh.

"Father of trauma, Mom." Herman replied softly, "Father of trauma in matchmaking children. You used to think, if Runi and Raka would mate and their households are harmonious. Unfortunately, it was wrong. It's a big mistake." Herman said later.

"Runi is not much behavior, but who would have thought, just that much behavior even Raka?" Tbah Herman's.

"alright, Sir. Mom just fucked up what Dad said. Importantly, you also have to think of ways that Amel can change better, sir? I just don't want to, Amel is not too long a widow, afraid that later Amel will be wrong." Ratna Pinta.

"Definitely, Mom. Although I'm honestly still angry with Amel, but Amel is still our son." Herman said later.

Many things that Herman had been thinking about, including the goodness of his children. Life lessons have made him realize, that his attitude in the past was favoritism towards the Seruni Rose, very wrong.
