Roses, Not Balsa
Frans intention

...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...

Seeing what had happened so much at the boutique that Frans immediately decided to tell Arsy, she felt very sorry for the woman who turned out to have been betrayed by her husband.

But Frans is very confused where to start, there is no way he will immediately come to his house and see Arsy, there will certainly be problems if that is done considering how all his family behaves to Arsy.

"I have to how, how can I meet with Arsy without leaving any trouble for him" he murmured.

Confused that was clearly felt by Frans now, she should not be rash for good intentions to tell the truth to Arsy about her husband who turned out to be unfaithful.

"Son, where are you going?" the voice of Budhe Tantri surprised Frans who was still standing at a safe distance from Arsy's house. Frans looked at him for a moment.

"I_it's Budhe," Frans scratched his own nape that was not actually itchy, nor did he grin the horse to hide his confusion.

"What's up, is there a problem?" ask Budhe Tantri again.

She clearly saw that Frans was looking at Arsy who was in the courtyard of his house who was lifting a clothesline, did he want to talk to Arsy? budhe Tantri thought, she just wanted to make sure that what she was thinking was not wrong.

"Do you want to see him but are you afraid?" guess Budhe Tantri.

"Well! sa_ I.., I_yes, Budhe," Frans admitted even with very nervous words, how could he not be nervous because he was caught wanting to meet people's wives.

"Why don't you just meet now?"

"Sa_I'm afraid there will be trouble, Budhe."

Budhe Tantri fell silent, what Frans had said was true as well. Not just anyone can meet with Arsy let alone he is a man, surely there will be a tail after his departure later.

"Is there an important problem?" asked Budhe Tantri.

Looking at how Frans's expression was of course there was a problem and it had to do with Arsy. Bude Tantri became very curious about what Frans actually knew until he really wanted to meet with Arsy.

"Hem, just like this. If you have not left, you better come to Bude's house later in the afternoon, you can talk to Arsy without his family knowing. But if you haven't left yet, usually you will leave during the day right?" ask Bude Tantri.

Frans remained silent. It was usual that he would depart after the ba'da dzuhur, but for now would he not be able to leave late? Wasn't he the one who wanted to tell the truth to Arsy, wasn't he also the one who couldn't bear to be willing if the woman he liked turned out to be hurt by men once he believed?

"Hem, how?" Budhe Tantri.

"Well, Budhe, Frans will come later in the afternoon." replied Frans.

Actually Frans was also very curious what exactly Arsy did at Budhe Tantri's house, he often heard that Arsy always went there every afternoon. Is there anything important to make Arsy continue to be there every afternoon?

The two split off to their respective destinations.

In the afternoon Frans actually came to Bude Tantri's house, when he came it turned out that Arsy had not come so he still continued to wait very impatiently.

Sometimes he would sit in the chair that was already available, also sometimes he would stand and walk towards the door to see if Arsy had come or not.

"Take it easy, Arsy will be here soon" said Budhe Tantri.

Frans, who was standing behind the door, turned around and saw Bude Tantri putting a cup on the table, apparently making Frans a drink.

"Drink first, and make yourself comfortable" said Budhe Tantri again. He was already sitting now looking at Frans who was also slowly walking as well sitting on the other chair.

"He's coming, there's unfinished work. So just wait." she replied with great confidence. His eyes glanced at the pile of cloth that had been cut and only stayed in the sewing, there were even ready-made ones and hung on the wall with a hanger.

Frans turned his head, 'Is that Arsy working on it? does that mean she learned to sew with Budhe Tantri?' inner Frans just guessed.

"Why, it seems you are so impatient to meet him. Remember kid, she's somebody's wife, you don't like her, do you?"

"God!" Frans immediately realized, he was stunned because of the words of Budhe Tantri just now.

Yep! she really likes Arsy, a woman who is now a wife of someone else. But that doesn't mean he wants to have, he's not that selfish.

"Why don't you get married too, are you expecting Arsy?" Bude Tantri just guessed, let alone the Frans gelagat who said all those things.

"Buddy, I..."

"Buddy already knows the answer. But, Son. You will continue to be hurt if you hope for her, she is a loyal woman also principled so it will not be easy for her to leave her husband regardless of what happens."

"Budhe himself was very sorry for him actually, but Budhe was also very proud of him. Adi is very lucky to have a wife like her, but unfortunately she is not aware of it."

Frans was silent to listen, as far as Budhe Tantri knew Arsy, did he know how his household life was?

"No love doesn't want to have, son. Although you keep trying to deny it, but there must be a speck of hope in your heart to be together."

What Bude Tantri said was true as well, although Frans' lips always said that he only liked and did not want to have, but in his little heart there was always the word 'If' if they could live together.

It is not easy to keep such a great taste but not to have what makes Him feel that feeling. Love comes along with the desire to have. Is that right, right?

"My Sa_..."

Frans bowed with his words, feeling very unable to continue what he wanted to say. Is it possible that she should undo her intention not to tell Arsy about her husband, and let him know for himself?

"May God give you a beautiful destiny, though not with Arsy Bude pray that there will be good women just like him." Budhe Tantri smiled.

It felt so calm and very comfortable when talking to Bude Tantri that Frans felt at home hearing all his words were so wise.

Tok tok!

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Arsy.

Both of them turned their heads together and of course immediately saw the face of Arsy who was so sparkling, it seemed like he was also impatient to finish his work immediately. But the smile slowly began to fade when he saw Frans there.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Frans and Bude Tantri together.

'Then is there a Frans?' arsy is confused.

Arsy kept going despite his confused mind, what does Frans mean by coming to Budhe Tantri's house, are they in trouble? Or maybe she came to meet him, but for what?
