The rose repeatedly rejected what Rega had said. He is better to buy a new car and lose money savings during this time than to have to give his favorite car. The car was valuable to him because his father bought it.
Why can his brother-in-law do that. Asking for his possessions is that easy with a reason as a step forward. Rega was strangely even sided with her brother and felt it was natural, not thinking about whether the Rose would be sad or not. Rega breathed a rough breath.
"Rose, we can buy a new one for you. But that's the guy..."
"Mas, the car was a birthday gift from my father. I can't give you." Sela Rose.
Rega massaged his temple. He did not want to disappoint his brother. All this time whatever Helena wanted she always fulfilled.
"Mas understand. Never mind, I'll explain it to Madam elen."
Rose bit her lips to see Rega's disappointed look. The man was about to open the door but quickly the Rose held him back.
"Yes..." Call quickly. "Should I give you that car?" The Rose question made Rega immediately undo his intention to get out of the room.
"Yes, Deck. Because Elen's mom means a lot to me. He's mad at you and his fate is so bad, I don't want to make him sad anymore."
Silent rose. This was Rega's first request to her. With a heavy heart Rose handed over the car keys to Rega.
"Well if it's my wish."
"Do you agree with the rose?"
Nodding his head indicates if the Rose actually feels unwilling. He was sad to lose his precious things. What should he say later if his father or mother asks about the car.
Rega immediately took the key and rushed out leaving the Rose just like that.
"Mister, here's the key. My wife is understanding. He gave the car to mbak." Excited Rega with a proud tone, proud to have a wife as good as the Rose.
Kulsum smiled looking at Helena who pranced the pleasure. The woman snatched the key from Rega's hand and rushed out to try the pink car.
"Rega, try asking your wife to cook too. Can she?" Ask Kulsum.
"The rose is the cook Ma'am. He's the first major in gourmetry." Answer Rega. "But why should Roses Ma'am, where should Bi Minah go?"
"Bi Minah is sick. I haven't eaten since morning. Know for yourself your mother can not cook let alone take care of the house."
Rega understood then without thinking long he immediately met the Rose. I don't know where he feels, he should think that the Rose must be tired after a long journey. The woman needs rest not work. Notya welcome even in the sambit if it is like this. But, because it feels that it is natural especially the mother who asked, Rega did not think about whether the Rose was tired or not.
The rose was about to close its sleepy eyes when the door to his room was opened. He immediately got up then frowned when he saw Rega suddenly touch both his hands.
"Mh... Rose, can you ask for more help?"
"Solicit what please?"
"Mom hasn't eaten yet she said. Bi Minah didn't work today because she was sick. So, can you make a masakin for mom?"
Silent rose. It's only been an hour he's been living in this house. It hasn't been days, but why does it feel so heavy. He should have been welcomed by them instead of like this. His body is tired, he needs rest. But once again the Rose could not refuse Rega's request.
Then he too lazily came out immediately. Walking to the kitchen following her husband's footsteps. In the refrigerator is available a variety of cooking ingredients, there is even meat as well. Everything is so complete.
"Mom likes spicy don't you?" Ask Roses.
"Mother doesn't like it when she likes it."
"Mr? So I cook for you too?" The rose stopped her hand washing the meat.
"Yes dong. You cook for the mas too. We're having dinner tonight." Rega answered without feeling guilty at all.
"And I think I'll be home soon, you make him some tea too. Don't sweetness." After saying that, Rega left the Rose in the kitchen.
The rose felt like it was being used, why could Rega do this to him. Though clearly the man knew that he was very tired and wanted to rest. Think if his life in this house will be like his own home. But it was only a few hours before he set foot here, Rega had already asked him to do this and that.
Even with the rest of her life, Rega asked Roses to cook for Helena, her brother. If it were only for her in-laws, maybe the rose wouldn't be this sorry. Because it's his duty. But, Helena. He's not a kid anymore. He was even older than himself. That woman should have done everything.
"Mom, where's our daughter-in-law?"
"In the kitchen. What do you want?"
The rose sharpened his hearing when he heard the voices of his father-in-law and mother-in-law outside the kitchen. The second step was becoming more and more clear. Roses quickly washed his hands and greeted his father-in-law as soon as the old man arrived in the kitchen.
"Loh.loh, not a day here has already stretched the kitchen work. Where's elen, ma'am?" Ask Rega's father, Marja.
Kulsum glanced sharply and sat in a chair.
"Sir, this is his duty. Don't spoil the ghost, can visit later." He looked at the rose.
The rose bit her lip hearing her mother-in-law's words. Why could it be, Rega's mother looks so good but her speech is very spicy. Marja shook her head, disagreeing with his wife's words.
"Mom, it's not okay to say that. The rose is Rega's wife, she's our son too. Call elen, help the rose wash the dishes." Marja sat down in front of Kulsum. The man picked up the plate and immediately ate voraciously.
Kulsum clucked no like. While Rose immediately said to mediate the conversation of her two in-laws.
"It's okay, sir. Roses can do it all."
"Well, that's the shackle sir." Excite Kulsum while enjoying the food.
The rose left the two who were eating. He rushed to find Rega.
"Mas, let's eat. Mom and Dad ate." The rose immediately approached Rega who was sitting by the pool.
The man smiled then patted the empty spot next to him.
"What's up? Not hungry yet?" Ask the Rose again.
"Yes. We'll eat later, together. It's okay, right?"
The rose nodded, in fact he must be disappointed. Actually his stomach is hungry, but if Rega says so how. The rose sat beside him.
"Sir, you don't feel weird or jealous later."
"meaning?"
Rega grabbed both hands of the Rose.
"Mbak elen was often hurt by men, betrayed, in the marriage residence and even just utilized. You are never happy with love. I as his sister of course felt that pain." Rega paused for a moment to catch his breath. The rose is still waiting for its continuation.
"So.I always attach great importance to mbak. Whatever he wants, I buy it. So...you must understand what you mean, right?" Continue Rega.
The rose breathed deeply. His heart actually felt heavy. That means, he is not the first in Rega's heart. But it was Helena, the older sister who was in that position.
Although Helena is her sister but still there is a dislike in her heart. After a long silence, the rose nodded slowly. Again all because of Rega's request and he was unable to refuse.
