One Bed, Three Lives
Chapter 4 (Related always comes later )

Rahman finally relented to Roses, as the Roses were weeping after Rahman snapped them.

"Rose, Mas apologized, Mas did not mean to snap the Roses, but Mas hope the Roses understand the current state of our economy. Mas has not got a permanent job, especially now there is no Laras who bear the cost of our lives."

The rose was furious when Rahman again mentioned the name Laras.

"Mas does not need to mention the name of Kak Laras. Now the Rose is Mas Rahman's wife, not her. So, I have to keep the Rose feeling."

"Dear rose, Mas does not mean to mention the name of Laras in front of you, it's just that since the departure of Laras, our lives are getting more difficult."

"It is better now that Mas interracial Roses to Campus, Roses do not want to be late, and later Roses do not want to know, anyway Mas Rahman must get money in any way."

Rahman just kept silent without being able to say anything more, there was a sense of regret in Rahman's heart after marrying the Rose.

Though I had only married Rose for a few days, but Rose had already demanded a great living from me. While in the past Laras never demanded anything from me, even Laras was always grateful with the money given from me, even though the value was not how much. I regret that I made a mistake. Forgive me Laras, for I have hurt women as well as you, Rahman said in his heart.

After delivering Roses to Campus, Rahman decided to search for passengers by waiting at the ojek base.

"Now you're ngojek Man?" ask one of Rahman's friends named Agus.

"Yes Gus, I still haven't found a steady job" Rahman replied.

"Where is Laras? usually you never want to ngojek because you have to take care of Daffa?"

"Actually I and Laras are divorced, and I'm married to the Rose of his sister Laras, although it's new in series, because my divorce papers and Laras are still not out."

"Crazy you Man, you can throw diamonds after pebbles, when I see a good woman barrel, even she is willing to slam bones by trading and while working also in the factory," agus said that he did not think with Rahman.

"Si Rahman must have been tempted by a younger, more beautiful and well," said Rahman's other friends.

Rahman continued to think about Agus' words, until finally Rahman chose to go to his parents' house, because the ojek passengers did not come.

"Then I go home first yes, I still have needs" Rahman said, then left the ojek base.

Mr. Sharif is currently being seen reading the newspaper on the front porch of his house when Rahman came, because Mr. Sharif is a retired teacher, so he rarely does work, and only enjoys his old age by relaxing.

"Assalamu'alaikum sir," Rahman said when he saw Mr. Sharif, then Rahman kissed the back of his father's hand.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Son, where have you been? why did you come here again? usually when you have Daffa, you come here every day?" ask Mr. Sharif.

"Rahman is busy looking for work sir, Rahman is also now ngojek to meet daily needs."

Ms. Ida who had just come from the kitchen, was so surprised when she heard that Rahman was a motorcycle taxi driver.

"Didn't Mom hear wrong now you're a motorcycle taxi driver? you are a scholar, Rahman, why are you ashamed of us?" said Ida Bu who was embarrassed by Rahman's profession today.

"But it doesn't have to be a motorcycle taxi driver either, sir. What will people say if they know our son is a motorcycle taxi driver? where do we put our faces, sir?"

"Mom, why should we be ashamed? it is a form of Rahman's responsibility. If only Rahman had heard the advice of the Father to become an honorary Teacher, Rahman would have become a Teacher by now, but Mother always spoiled our children, so Rahman and Nisa always went against our wishes, and now they don't have a regular job, do they?"

"Why did you blame Mom? usually also Laras which is the backbone of the family? so Rahman doesn't have to bother working."

"Did you forget that Rahman is now divorced from Laras?" ask Mr. Sharif, so that Ms. Ida looks excited because she is embarrassed.

"Rahman regretted having had an affair sir, it turns out that the Roses are not as good as Laras, even the Roses are a lot of requests, and much different from Laras."

"From the first Father has warned you not to play with fire, you have the heart to hurt good women like Laras, finally you regret it too right?"

"What should Rahman do now? Rahman hasn't got a penny today, and Rose will be angry when she gets home from college."

"The name of regret always comes later. So, you should never regret everything you have done, because it is a consequence that you must accept. You should keep trying to find a job, in order to fulfill all your wife's wishes, not to mention that currently Rose is pregnant, so you have to find the cost of labor."

"But where else does Rahman have to find a job, sir?"

"Sorry Rahman, I can't help you, you try it yourself, and you should also remember Daffa. Even though you're divorced from Laras, Daffa is your biological son, and you have an obligation to forgive him, because a child will have no trace of him," said Mr. Sharif who was disappointed with Rahman.

Mother Ida, who heard Rahman's story about the Roses, was now furious and told Rahman to divorce the Roses.

"Basar women do not know in profit, you should just divorce the Rose, and look for a woman who is better everything compared to the Laras and the Rose," said Bu Ida, but Mr. Sharif disagrees with the words of Ms. Ida.

"Rahman, don't repeat the mistake again. It's enough that you hurt Laras, especially now that Rose is pregnant with your child, so you won't be able to divorce her. As a parent, you shouldn't be plunging your own child, and this incident may be a lesson to Rahman."

"Sir, but Rahman is our Son."

"Mom, Rahman is an adult, and Rahman must be able to distinguish what is good, and what is bad for his life. As parents, we should not interfere too much in the affairs of the household of the Children," said Mr. Syarif, then entered the house, because they did not want to continue arguing with Ms. Ida.

"Mom, how should Rahman? Where does Rahman have to get money?" whinek Rahman who always act spoiled, because from a small Mother Ida always spoil her children.

"Rahman is calm, I have savings, so Rahman can use it for daily needs" whispered Ms. Ida, so that Mr. Sharif does not hear her words, though secretly Mr. Syarif heard the conversation of Bu Ida and Rahman from behind the door.

"It is better if you want to give money to Rahman, I told Rahman to use the money for business capital, not to spoil his wife," Syarif said.

Bu Ida and Rahman were shocked when they heard Mr. Sharif's screams.

"Had it been Son, Rahman did not need to listen to the words of the Father," said Bu Ida, and Mr. Syarif did not think through with the mind of his wife.

That is the result if too pamper Children, Children so grow into a spoiled figure and do not have a sense of responsibility. I wish my children to be independent, for one day we will leave this world, and will not always be there for them. As a Husband and a parent, I have failed to educate My Wife and My Children, Mr. Sharif said in his heart by shedding tears of regret for not being able to educate the Son and also his Wife well.
