Call Me a Rose
Chapter 18

That morning as usual the Rose came with ushered Mr. Bin, but the Rose asked to go down far from the office area so that no one would see it. As usual, the Rose walked hastily across the spacious courtyard for fear of being late. While walking Rose saw a motorcycle running slowly ahead of him. Roses knew exactly who the rider behind the fullface helmet was, who usually stopped to offer him a ride, but now said hello. Rose looked at the back of the man who walked away until he disappeared in the parking lot in the basement of the building with a feeling of sadness. How in an instant their once-warm friendship turned cold. Whose fault? Salah Farid who was reckless to express his feelings or his fault who presumptuously refused to humiliate Farid in public? I don't know. Rice has become porridge. Time that has been rolled cannot be played and repeated again. Roses walking while daydreaming until unconsciously in the building lobby he hit someone.

"Heh, if the road uses donk eyes!", blow the woman he hit.

"Eh, good morning Mona, I'm sorry to say, so is it not the way?", explained Rose honestly.

"Who is this early in the morning? Why do you mind a guy who has been rejected to his side? A nysel? Basic doubt! It's not appropriate for her, not the other way around!", Mona's scolding was long.

While Rose just bowed resignedly to hear her senior nagging for the sake of manners. Not brave to fight, but Roses realized this time it was his fault and he was not wanting to argue. As Mona is nagging, a man who becomes Mona's bounty material is seen walking towards them. Farid only walked straight with a cold and flat expression, passing between two women who might be fighting. Farid did not want to care about the two, but then Mona greeted him, deliberately seeking attention and wanting to take down his opponent

.

"Good morning handsome Mas Farid..on his own Mas?", asked Mona mince words while following her steps and walking beside her.

"Who is coming alone as usual?"

Although without interest, Farid finally served Mona, until finally they engaged in small talk while walking towards the pantry. While behind them the rose tailed like a chick that lost its mother.

That's how Farid spent the rest of his days at GAYA.Corp. He who used to be known as a supple and cheerful figure turned into a quiet and cold figure. Farid would only talk as necessary and not want to heed those who might have talked about him behind his back, laughing and perhaps mocking his stupidity. So this is how it feels to be heartbroken? Ask Farid to yourself. He had never felt rejected by a woman before. It felt like everything was becoming empty and he no longer had the passion to live.

Farid did not hate the Rose, but he felt awkward and embarrassed, preferring to avoid the girl who had filled his heart. He occasionally realized that the Rose was stealing glances at him. I don't know what the girl had in mind, Farid didn't want to find out. Farid decided to submit a letter of resignation, one month before his contract expired. He did it because the lecture period will begin within the next month. Fortunately GAYA.Corp does not impose a penalty system that harms lowly employees like himself. Although he has not received an answer if his resignation letter is accepted, but Farid believes he will soon be out of GAYA.Corp. Office boy and office girl in HAYA.Corp are quite a lot, looking for a replacement is not difficult. So why hold a lowly employee like him?

Farid did all his duties that day as an OB even without passion. The hour home office became a very waiting time, to immediately go home and rest at home while chatting with his beloved Mother. Friends can leave, lovers can disappoint, but the blood relationship will not end no matter what the problem. That's why Farid was so afraid of losing his mother. The only family and the most valuable person he has in his life right now.

As soon as work hours ended Farid packed his things, then got down to the parking lot and immediately drove his motorcycle home. Arriving home, once opened the door Farid immediately greeted with a very tempting aroma of cooking.

"Assalamualaikum Ma'am..."

"Walaikum salam.", answered his mother from the kitchen.

Farid immediately approached his mother who was standing in front of the stove and hugged her from behind.

"What are your beloved mothers? Why does it smell so tempting..."

Farid spoke without letting go of his embrace.

"Combal, what possession have you been to say so mother-female?", answered his mother while trying to release Farid's embrace.

"Once upon a time mommy alone can dong?"

"You're heartbroken again, huh?", shoot his mother directly on target.

"I wish Nebak liked it..."

"So who's the girl who broke your heart, here tell Mom!"

"No need Mom, people have run aground too!"

"Every Boss!"

Farid went into his room to put his belongings and also took his clothes. Then rushed to take a bath at his mother's orders. A little joking with the mother turned out to be able to improve her bad mood.

Finished bathing Farid directly sat in front of the dining table, impatient to eat foods that look tempting. The menu is simple, but the fun is matchless. Asem vegetables, salted fish, and special trasi sambal made by his mother.

"Eating a lot of Rid, broken hearted people need a lot of energy..."

"Huh? What energy to do, ma'am?"

"Energy to nglupain ex, hahahaha"

His mother laughed at his own jokes. Farid was busy bribing his mouth food.

"Congratulations on Mom's jokes?"

"It's funny Mom, just that Mom's cooking is more interesting..."

"Yes, I have good news for you..."

"What good news, Mom? Tumbens..."

"Whoever you are mentally well, you will be surprised to hear it...."

"Ah Mother, what is it, what is it?", asked Farid curiously.

"So someone came to our house, gave a lot of money to Mother, he said to pay our debts!"

"Huh? Who is really Mom?"

"You're shocked!"

"Isn't that Mom, you didn't suspect? In this day and age, where do people give a lot of money for free?"

"Yes, too, that was my mother who refused, but the person made it. He said he dared to guarantee that the money was lawful and generous who sent them no strings attached, sincere inner birth..."

"Keep I don't know who gave us that much money?"

"They said it was just a man, and the man who told them they didn't want his identity to be known, but I said thank you very much..."

"Yes, ma'am, may it be our sustenance and there will be no problems in the future..."

"Yes rid, I can only be grateful and pray, still feel like a dream..."

They then continued eating, although in the heart still hold curiosity. As for Farid, this problem can be a distraction from his sadness due to heartbreak.
