Seruni Rose

Resignedly.

The atmosphere of the Rose restaurant looks crowded this afternoon. Some workers and marketers who stopped to fill the stomach, now appear to flock to come for lunch.

Amel deftly helps Rose serve the buyer, smiling kindly with polite and simple clothes, and thin makeup attached to her face. The woman seemed very excited to help her sister.

Luckily, now Kia is sleeping soundly in a minimalist room at the back of the restaurant. Roses also appear to re-cook some of the exhausted menu. The more days, somehow the Rose's restaurant is getting crowded with buyers.

"Runi, are you looking for the handsome again," said Roses while pointing at the figure who had just arrived, using his chin.

The eyes of the rose turned to look ahead. Sure enough, Bastian had already walked gallantly to get inside. Again, the Rose exhaled his coarse breath. What the hell is this? Can't Tian take the day off to see the Rose? See, the condition of the heart and heart of the rose is not fine if Tian comes to visit him.

Roses pretend to concern themselves, with the cuisine he stirred, even though it was mixed evenly on the frying pan.

"Sister, serve him, will you? I was busy" said the Rose to Amel who giggled in his place.

"Why are you, anyway? Strange," replied Amel later. The woman then headed to the cashier table, looking at Tian who was walking towards her.

"Sir, I want to order the food menu as usual, huh? The owner of this restaurant has memorized my favorite menu," Tian told Amel. He smiled faintly, observing Amel who looked very different from the previous Amel. Amel who used to be, is a woman who dared to use makeup.

"Oh, it's a poultice, huh? But the owner is busy cooking, sir. Can you say what you want to order?" ask Amel later.

"Then, wait until he's done, I'll just wait at the corner table" Tian said, pointing at the table in the corner.

"So you're not ashamed, come to this restaurant?" asked Amel who was trying Sok familiar with Tian. It was not to tempt Tian, but rather to approach the man, to help him in order to gain his sister's heart. Yes, Amel is determined to be his second matchmaker.

"Thy? Shame why? Everyone can, right, eat in this place?" tanya Tian who still did not understand.

"Daddy wants to eat, or want to take the heart of the owner of the restaurant? But it's not about eating, but about a purpose" Amel said, with a meaningful smile. His eyes were still glaring at the cashier table, while arranging the customer notes.

"I don't know, what do you mean, huh?" tian asked who was still not familiar with what Amel said.

"I will help you to get my sister's heart" replied Amel by locking Raka's gaze.

Since parting ways with her Seruni, Raka has never eaten at home, except when she is at her mother's house. Surely it makes Mother Raka herself astonished.

"Slow down, Raka. You don't eat for a year" said Raka's mother, who was astonished to see her son.

"For a long time Raka did not eat home-cooked food like gini, Mom. I forgot, huh? Kan Raka never eats at home, always outside" Raka replied later.

"By the way, how? You still can't talk to Amel? You mean, you're sorry?" ask Raka's mother again. The woman was looking for her son with many questions. Surprisingly, Raka was not even bothered at all because of it.

"Bu Ratna said, Raka doesn't need to apologize, and Amel has forgiven. It was Amel's own fault, after all. Who told him to hug Raka, but Raka said that we should just stay away from each other. He, he loves Raka too much, said Bu Ratna," replied Raka at length.

Raka did not want to bother with all the problems related to Amel.

"Yes, that's it. The important thing is that you have tried to apologize, have good intentions to solve all the problems between you," said Raka's mother later.

"But don't know why, Mom, Raka still feels bad. Want to talk to him, Amel means, but Amel seems to have closed Raka's access to be able to apologize to him. The reason, simple anyway, he said because he had to keep his heart so as not to continue expecting Raka," said Raka later.

"Mommy used to love Amel, hoping she would be Mom's daughter-in-law. But yes if you are judged, Runi is better. I was too stupid to ever ignore your ex-wife" said Raka's mother smiling bitterly.

"It's all Raka's fault, Mom. From the beginning, Raka had messed things up. Dad also stayed away from Raka for a long time. Can't be a little willing to understand and give a solution," Raka exhaled violently.

"Don't blame yourself, Raka. I realize, no human being is perfect, there must always be mistakes that are not intentionally made. I just ask, don't repeat. If God had betrothed you to Amel, would you have accepted?" ask Raka's mother again.

"Come, Ma. Raka resigned, "there's nothing Raka can do but surrender.
