Randi rotated his eyes staring lazily at the phone.

He just let his phone without intending to reply to the message of the Mama, Randi does not want a day off with his small family disturbed. He prefers to deactivate his phone.

Dari returned with a cup of hot chocolate for Randi, he also brought some special pieces of bread that he made himself.

“Mas eat first, soon I'm done”.

Randi just smiled and plucked a piece of brownies with a melted chocolate stuffing in the middle.

“Kue made by you slalu yang pasang unbeatable, like you who will never exist”.

Laundry Bu Srining's.

Bu Srining laundry Sunday does not close, usually on Sunday the costumer will increase twice as much. At that time the laundry was really rame to make Ms. Srining come down to help other employees. His busy life makes him unable to visit the rose. If usually every morning Ms. Srining will deliver food for Roses today no. Therefore, Ms. Srining asked Randi to accompany Roses.

Feeling something different in the absence of her mother-in-law made Rose feel anxious. She went in and out many times waiting for her mother-in-law.

“It's past lunch hour, but why didn't Mama come here?”.

Tired of having no friends to tell stories, Rose decided to come to the laundry only she hoped that by coming there she would meet many people and also be able to do small things. If you have to be at home without doing anything makes his body more rigid.

It did not take long, now the Rose has arrived at the laundry Bu Srining. His presence was welcomed by Mrs Srining. Some special treatment on Roses made some of his coworkers seem confused to interpret their closeness.

“Ngapain should be here anyway son? What is your content? Is he fussy today?”, welcome Bu Srining with his second daughter-in-law.

“No problem means Mom, it's just that I'm bored at home”.

The rose followed the steps of Ms. Srining who took her to the ironing room, she happened to be helping pack that afternoon.

“Still rame ya Bu?”. he said by looking around the room full of piles of clothes.

This time Roses called Ms. Srining by the name of Bu, as when she was still working there. Randi asked for it.

“Iya as you can see, if Sunday laundry is indeed rame”.

“Let me help Bu”. Rose hands outstretched and immediately shrewdly packed all the clothes in front of him, put into a plastic bag and label each of the clothes according to the name of the customer.

“You should not be tired of Roses, your content will be weak, you should multiply the rest first. Said your doctor should take a lot of rest”. Tukas Bu Srining who noticed the Rose from earlier did not want to be silent.

Sontak made other employees increasingly wonder about the relationship of the Rose with Ms. Srining, until the owner of the laundry knew the condition of the weak Rose content.

They looked at each other with the same head.

“I'm healthy kok Bu, anyways just enter the plastic underwear only. I am tired of mom at home every day alone no one accompanies”, confide a glimpse of Rose in her in-laws.

“New manten cook lonely”, reflex one of Rose's friends who ironed in the room came to talk.

“My husband is busy every day working home night”, replied Rose without wanting to spoil and mentioned her husband's name.

Three hours passed since the arrival of the Rose to the laundry, he was still reluctant to leave the place. He prefers to sit and watch some of his friends work after Ms. Srining repeatedly forbade him to hold something that could make him upset.

Five seconds later, though,

The eyes of the Rose in a scene that makes his heart restless as well as hot.

The presence of Randi with Tari and his adopted son Risma, who came so suddenly to the laundry.

Dari who asked Randi to take her there, he wanted to distribute cakes to laundry employees and wanted to share the happiness with the presence of Risma at their current side.

All outside of his plan.

Randi took his son and wife with so possessive, as if to show everyone there if his family was happy.

Now that Roses stepped towards Randi who started to enter the door, he tried to put on a fine face even though his heart was burning with jealousy which was so great.

“Good afternoon bu Tari”, greet the Rose with a friendly eye can not be interrupted on Randi who is next to Tari.

While Randi threw away his face, avoiding that gaze, he preferred to look at his wife's head and gently stroked the tip of the head.

Three seconds

Cup.

Randi kissed the head of his palace so gently and lovingly in front of the Rose.

The rose tried to be fine looking at the sight before his eyes, even though his hands were clenched perfectly below.

“What is the Rose room?”, greet Dance so friendly, one hand outstretched forward about to shake hands.

“Good Mom. Who's this dance that's so pretty?”. Now the Rose was crouching in front of Risma gently stroking the neatly-grained hair of the little girl.

“This is our son Risma”, replied Tari confidently and gave her sweetest smile.

“Risma yes, you are so beautiful son, you have school?”.

“Iya dong Risma is beautiful I am his son Father and mother, I have gone to school Auntie”. Risma answered by looking at the faces of Dari and Randi and hugging her Mother's Father.

“Lho mbak Roses have not resigned? Kok is here again”. Ask one of the new employees to come for a shift change.

“Lho resigned why?”,

“No papa bu Tari, I just need a break just for a moment because I am...”. Roses glanced at Randi hoping that Randi would continue his speech or just to see him for a moment. But unfortunately Rose had to swallow again disappointed because Randi did not see it at all. This makes the rose even more jealous. It felt like he wanted to take over Randi right then and there from the hands of Dance.

“I often don't feel well Bu lately”.

“Then you should mbak Roses a lot of rest and eat a lot, another one not too much mind ya”, Dance patted the shoulders of the Roses and hurry to the special room in the laundry.
