Call Me a Rose
Chapter 22

Rose thought, maybe visiting Mona's house will be a pretty exciting experience than she went straight back to her small contract and alone there. Therefore when Mona offers to stop by, without thinking long Rose immediately agreed.

"Well so impatient, you have long been curious to play into the house temen during work in Jakarta, uh just deliver now, want to go to Mona's mother's house..."

"Didn't you often huddle with Farid, have you never been invited to his house?"

"Yet Mbak, at most Mas Farid aja who nganterin me home, anyways not often you know Mbak, I just a few times a boncegan with Mas Faridnya..."

"What's important has it ever been, how does it feel in the same boncengin as the most handsome OB?"

"Okaya mbak, just like the other ride ojek, the mother Mona has never been piggybacked with Mas Farid?"

"No need to cheat, I have never been piggybacked by Farid, satisfied lo? Farid is a friendly setting, but all this time he plates aja works doang and closed if the same girls, until you new dateng I noticed he can open with girls..."

"Oh yeah, I think a handsome guy like Mas Farid is usually a playboy..."

" When playboy is innate, there are also many ugly guys who are playboy and do not know themselves, but as far as I know that Mas Farid is handsome, friendly, polite, but not playboy...."

"So, Mona has had a crush on Mas Farid?"

"Perhaps, actually more towards me admiring the personality and character he is War, do you not mean me? I love it, but I don't expect him to have a crush on me. Because I realize I don't deserve him..."

"Why not feel appropriate Mona Mbak, Mona's mother is actually beautiful if not jutek, Mona's mother is also kind and martial pinter again..."

"Heh, you actually muji what's mocking me anyway?"

"Hehehe, sorry Miss Mona, I'm out, but I'm being honest..."

"Yes, that's also actually what I like about you, you're honest and brave as I am, not like other children who sometimes like sweet in front and talk me in the back!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you Mona's mom to like me either..."

"Don't like that one too many times..."

"yes.iya..iya.I understand.kok mbak..."

"Eating that I sirik abis same lo all this time, how can the beautiful and perfect Farid so can fall in love with kayak lo village girls! Though I like to give attention from the first time he cuekin that's it"

"Hahahaha", the laughter of the Roses finally exploded.

Roses are not offended, but instead feel the words spoken by Mona are so honest and what they are. And the Roses felt very comforted by their chatter that night.

It was so fun to chat without feeling they had almost arrived at Mona's house.

"Yuk get ready, my house down at the front stop, but later it's still about ten minutes, no papa right?"

"Yes, no papa..."

The rose followed Mona up and walked to the door. After descending, they resumed the conversation while continuing to walk.

"My house is ordinary, small, go in and out of the alley again..."

"Yes Ma'am Mona is not papa, my contract is also small really, if we are rich people who are tired of working so OG...."

"Oh yeah.yes forget me. Lo pinter too! By the way, who lives with you?"

"Only by yourself..."

"Yes not yet mbak, people here on cuek do not kayak accommodated. At least the right-left neighbor just knows. Most likely only Rosa, Mas Farid, the same Mona's mother..."

"Ooo, living in Jakarta is hard lo War, even if people here are cute, at least you have to have one friend that can be copied..."

"What's the matter, Miss Mona?"

"Yes, the evidence was almost picky right?"

"Yes, too, Mother..."

"If there's any need from now on you can call me, ok?"

"real Mommy? Including if there's a leaky tile?"

"Damn lo! You think I'm a coolie? But it turns out you are also fun to chat..."

Without feeling they continue to chat with fun until without feeling they have arrived in front of Mona's house. The thing that Rose had just realized, how could they chat with fun to exchange jokes when previously in the office they were both like dogs and cats.

"Let's go in, there's only Father with my sister, don't worry. They may not be very friendly with guests, but they're really nice..."

Roses come in and sit in a small living room that is just a mat. The state of Mona's house is not much different from her small rent, only certainly bigger and consists of several rooms. From where he sat, Rose could see a middle-aged man sitting on a cot watching television with a young man who looked different from the average young man. The living room and living room of Mona's house are only limited by thin curtains and half open so that the Rose can still see the situation inside. Not long after, Mona came with a glass of tea and P3K equipment.

"Drink first, run out of it let me cure his wounds..."

The rose sipped the tea Mona gave her little by little. It is good to warm the body and remove its thirst. Roses had been hit by a dagger on his arm, but not too deep. Mona had already rubbed him with a cloth so that his blood would stop flowing. But of course the wound must be treated with an antiseptic liquid, then replaced with a clean bandage.

After the Rose laid her glass, Mona painstakingly cleaned and treated the Rose's wounds. The rose could have gone straight to the hospital to have her wound checked. But she wants to appreciate Mona's offer and more than that the Roses are actually curious about Mona's life.

"Aw, slow down Ma'am.", the Rose Scream is in pain.

"Ah chatty, lo diem aja, I've been used to hold the wound like this doang..."

The rose finally only bit her lips while holding the pain until the wound was treated.

"There's still a lot of Mona..."

"Sama-sama, you calm down I've been used to treat such injuries. My father has almost two years of stroke, can only fall asleep, sit aja should be helped, his body often blisters because most lie down, I always cure his own injuries..."

"Owh..."

Roses finally know why Mona has a P3K box that is quite complete even though the house is simple.

"If that guy is Mona's sister huh?", asked Rose curiously.

"Well, that's me, he's kind of mentally retarded, so can't work like a normal person, can't work like a normal person, but every day he can help me with light household chores just as much as take care of the Father if I go..."

"So all this time Mona's mother who became the backbone of the family?"

"Yes can be said that, but you also have deposits of land and houses in the village, the interest is taken every month to increase the cost of living, if you have long died..."

"Oh, I am so salute you, Ma'am Mona.", praise Rose sincerely.

This time the Rose saw the Mona as a different and admirable figure. It turns out that behind her fierce and powerful attitude, Mona is a strong female figure who becomes the backbone of the family.
