Call Me a Rose
Chapter 57

Today is Sunday and Diara does not yet have any agenda to fill her lonely holiday. Usually Diara will only spend his time to have fun. Just indulge after a full week struggling with work that drains his energy and mind. But for some reason today Diara is not at all interested in seeking pseudo-pleasure as he used to do. Yes, Diara finally realized that what he got from all the activities foya-foya is just pseudo. He will indeed feel happy when going to shopping, to the salon, or others. But when it was all over, it was also finished with his happiness in his heart. And all that was left behind was the lonely and empty feeling like before.

Today, Diara wants to do something different. And I don't know why that's what came to his mind. Diara has decided, he will go to visit Arya in prison. Early in the morning Diara woke up, and Diara decided to go to the market first. For a long time Diara has never done this kind of activity, shopping at traditional markets. Diara used to do it often when he started his culinary business with Juna. But since Juna died Diara never did it again. And now I don't know why Diara wanted to do it and it turned out to be quite exciting and fun. Diara bought various foodstuffs that will be processed that morning.

Coming home from shopping Diara was immediately busy processing the ingredients he had bought. Kale stir-fry, butter fried chicken and fried tempeh are the menu he chose. Diara cooked quite a lot and wrapped it up. His plan Diara will take him when visiting Arya later is said to be said food in prison only perfunctory. Diara wants Arya and her fellow inmates to enjoy a delicious nutritious meal even if only occasionally.

Finished with the cooking, Diara immediately took a shower and got ready. She only wears jeans and a t-shirt. Diara wants to look as simple as possible so as not to flashy. Diara finally set out with a feeling of enthusiasm that she had never felt before.

There Diara met with police who were on guard and conveyed his point. After going through several procedures, Diara was reunited with Arya in a room.

"Don't you bother me here?"

Arya asked with an unhappy look. Although it's upsetting that Diara is trying to stay calm.

"Because I want to see you!"

Arya sneered and laughed cynically.

"If this is because I've been instrumental in thwarting your ridiculous suicide, you don't need to feel indebted..."

To be honest, Diara visited Arya here because she felt sorry for her mother Arya and the second was because of her guilt. He knows very well that this was the work of his best friend, Jelita who deliberately trapped Arya. But Diara did not have the courage to expose this truth to anyone for reasons of ethics and friendship.

"Lo don't need a reason I came here. And instead of wasting time for a conversation that is not clear, meningan now lo phone nyokap lo aja!"

Said Diara while thrusting the phone in front of Arya.

Arya's face turned enthusiastic. Because this is what he needs most. His phone was confiscated and Arya has since been arrested asking for permission to call his mother, but not allowed.

"Thank you so much, this time I really owe you!"

"There is no debt between us, this is called helping each other!"

Not wanting to waste time, Arya immediately snatched the phone that was proffered by Diara. Arya looked confused for a moment.

"Gue simply numbers lo nyokap, her name is Miss Rusmini right?"

Arya nodded and immediately looked for the name in question. Arya waited for a moment until then her phone was picked up.

"Greetings walaikum, Arya? Aryans? Is this really you le?"

"Yes Mom, sorry yesterday went suddenly, so did not have time to say goodbye to Mom. I got a good job Mom, a big paycheck but off the coast so hard to signal.but I'm calm I'm definitely trying to get in touch with Mom..."

"Yes le...Yeah.., you take it easy, I can take care of myself, don't worry about Mom and just focus on working..."

"Yes, Mom, it's a long time ago, Mom, there's a friend waiting...."

"Yes, see you soon..."

Arya immediately ended the call. Although he wanted to, Arya could not linger talking to her mother. He is not used to lying to his mother because he usually knows that he is lying. That's why Arya doesn't want to talk too much.

"There are still many Di.", said Arya sincerely.

"Yoi together, I say goodbye first. Sometime if I spare here again so you can call the same nyokap lo..."

"Yoot..."

Diara packed her things and immediately got up from her seat. But as she was about to step up, Arya's hand held her hand.

"Di, can I ask you one more favor?"

"What?"

"Please monitor my nyokap condition and look at him occasionally..."

"Ok, I'll do what I can..."

"There are many Di, may your life be filled with happiness in the future..."

Diara nodded and smiled, then stepped away. Diara's heart was full. There is a sense of contentment and happiness that cannot be explained in words. It turns out like this when we sincerely share and help others. Diara was happy to hear Arya and her mother talking for a while. Even Diara was happy to imagine his homemade food will be eaten by the inmates in there.

Diara walked with light steps, down the courtyard to where his car was parked. Before finally a familiar voice shocked him.

"Diara! What's going on here?"
