Call Me a Rose
Chapter 76

Farid chose a slightly hidden seat for the two of them, then let Rose order a drink.

"What do you want to order a rose?"

"So much as Farid..."

Finally Farid chose to order two avocado juice and fries, because they had eaten at home. Farid was still being kind and polite. But Jelita could sense that Farid's treatment was very different. Usually Farid always behave familiar and warm, but now there is a cold impression that makes Jelita's heart hurt.

They kept quiet until their orders came.

"Let's drink first, I'm sorry I can only take you to a place like this..."

There was a tone of satire in the words that made Jelita so uncomfortable.

"What happened to a place like this? Don't we usually eat on the side of the road?"

Reply to Jelita with courage.

"What do you really mean by all this? I honestly got confused how to behave. You're the director and owner of a company that I should respect, but I'm used to thinking of you as a rose..."

"But do you still want to be with me? I'm just an ordinary person who has nothing compared to you who has everything? What if people think I'm just living and benefiting you?"

"Then why was Mas Farid interested in Mawar, a tacky and uneducated village woman? Why care what people say anyway?"

"There's no reason, my interest in you as a Rose just pops up regardless of your background and whatever people say about you..."

"As well as I am Mas Farid I do like and will accept whatever your circumstances and we do not need to listen to what people say..."

"So, Jelita, the honorable mother of the director, do you really still want to be my ordinary wife?"

"Please call me Rose.My name is Roses, the name given to my parents who have died. The name Rose reminds me of my simple and happy life with my family, while Jelita is the name I used to look for hockey and popularity, and it turns out it was all pseudo...and of course Mas Farid, I'll accept you if you don't mind accepting me either..."

"Believe the Roses, but I have one requirement before we get to the wedding. I want as long as we get married I'll be responsible for supporting you and our children with my sweat. Are you able to live a simple life by relying on me?"

"Of course Mas Farid, that's exactly what I want, living happily in simplicity..."

Finally that night, they spoke from heart to heart, openly expressing all pent-up worries and accepting each other's advantages and disadvantages. And in the end they agreed to realize the beautiful dream together. Married and built a dream home.
