The Rose of De Haas

Chapter 44: Adam and Eve's Journey of Happiness

Day after day kept changing until finally without feeling Cecilion and Rose had spent three years building a household even without the knowledge of their parents.

Mr and Mrs De Haas have been too busy taking care of their skyrocketing business to no longer have time to think about the state of their child. Amazingly, the treasure turned out to make them forget the baby.

All that Rose knows from Grandpa who got a letter from both his parents a few hours ago.

"So how, Rose? Did Grandpa just tell you that you've been living happily here?" ask Grandpa who seems worried about how to reply to the letter from the daughter and daughter-in-law.

"Let's just say that if I live in Grandpa and Grandma's house, don't mention Cecilion. I don't want Papa to hold a grudge against Mr. Van der Linen. I'm sure, Papa still holds that grudge," replied the Rose as she placed two stalks of a night-smelling flower in a glass vase filled with cold water.

Roses really like this one flower, so Cecilion almost every day buy it for his wife after work.

The condition of the company is also now increasingly developed and developing since Cecilion led it with wise wisdom.

Employees feel happy, even in harmony with the results of their work that is very satisfying to make the company continue to experience increased profits.

"Are you sure, son?" asked Grandpa doubtfully.

The rose nodded with a faint smile.

"Yes, Grandpa. I'm sure of what I've said so Grandpa just write it down if I'm happy with Grandma and Grandpa."

The Rose's stomach was growing more and more, a sign that there was a new life in her womb after a long wait that she and Cecilion went through.

It has been the twentieth week since the Rose was officially declared pregnant by the doctor making the woman always do all her activities carefully.

Not infrequently also Grandpa or Grandma visited his house to just accompany the Roses and provide a little help even though in the house there are three Babu who are ready to serve the Roses.

Despite being heavily pregnant, Roses seem to remain passionate about teaching, giving free knowledge to economically disadvantaged children.

Children taught by the Rose also feel comfortable and happy to get basic knowledge even in different ways.

After Grandfather finished writing letters to his son and son-in-law in Batavia, he then told a Jongos to immediately send them by mail.

In those days, the process of sending letters was still very complicated and time-consuming not to mention the quite expensive postage.

"What do you want to drink?" ask Roses after calling one of Babu to prepare drinks and snacks for Grandpa.

"Your homemade jasmine tea is still there? If Grandpa wants to drink that one," Grandpa replied with his signature warm smile.

Everyone really likes jasmine tea from the mix of Roses because it tastes so special. In addition to refreshing, jasmine tea mix Rose also provides a soothing sensation to make people who have ever drank it will immediately like it.

"I still have a lot, Grandpa. Tukiyem, please make my Grandpa jasmine tea and bring all the sweet snacks that are available," said Mawar, looking at Grandpa and Toukiyem the Babu alternately.

"Good, Mistress. I will make it soon," replied Tukiyem obediently.

The house that Rose and Cecilion occupy now looks much different, from what was once only a house that has little furniture has now turned into one of the most luxurious houses in the area.

"How's Grandma doing?" tanya Mawar turned her attention back to Grandpa.

"Your grandmother is busy gardening in the garden behind the house. He planted a lot of flowers," some Grandpa with a slightly sour face, he was a bit annoyed with his wife's new hobby.

Rose giggled amusedly, yes, he knew that Grandpa did not like Grandma's new hobby.

"Grandfather should continue to support her then. Doing a lot of light movements like gardening in the garden is great for Grandma's health," says Rose half-tempting her Grandpa.

"Well... If you knew, Roses! Your grandmother even spent thousands of guilders just to buy seeds and fertilizer," grumbled Grandpa who increasingly made the Roses laugh.

After a light conversation, a pair of Grandpa and Grandson then shuffled towards the porch of the house after hearing the sound of a horse carriage coming closer.

It must have been Cecilion who had returned from his office ushered in by Uncle Muhsin.

"Good afternoon, Grandfather," greeted the mild-mannered Cecilion with a gentle smile as he got off his horse-drawn carriage.

"Good afternoon. Take a shower and join us to enjoy the pleasure of tea jasmine concoction of Roses," said Grandpa.

"Are you still doing homework? Didn't I tell you you didn't have to?" cecilion asked quickly, making the Roses could only sigh.

Since the Rose's pregnancy, Cecilion has been very protective of his wife even about small matters.

"I didn't make it myself, my husband. Tukiyem helped me make tea for Grandpa" said the eve calmly.

"Then I take a shower first" concluded Cecilion after feeling he got the answer he wanted.

"The man was really annoying," Rose cursed softly after her husband stepped inside the house.

"It's not annoying, my dear grandson. Cecilion only wants the child you bear to grow up healthy without a single lack of anything," replied the Grandfather trying to entertain the only grandchild, considering he had been in the position of Cecilion.

"Grandfather believes Cecilion only wants you and your baby to always be healthy and safe, so please just follow what he says," persuade Grandpa while picking a red rose that thrives in the courtyard of the Van der Linen family home with his bare hands.

The flower buds are terraced so closely is very beautiful to look at, blooming perfectly complete with a red color blushing equivalent to the beauty of the Rose of the grandson.

"Grandpa and Grandma also only always pray for happiness for the two of you," added Grandpa while slipping the beautiful flower between the ears of the Rose, adding to the beauty of the young woman.

"But to be honest something has made me feel uneasy lately, Grandpa," muttered the Rose, looking at the Grandfather straight.

"Tell me what makes you nervous, son?"

"On the arrival of new invaders. I had heard the rumor since a few days ago. I'm afraid they'll come, Grandpa."

Grandfather then pensively, thinking about the Rose's concerns that seemed to make sense considering he had also heard the same sizzling rumors.
