Roses, Not Balsa
Advice from Tantri


...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...


Hearing all the explanations that Arsy said, after coming from the house of Bu Tantri, Frans quickly headed to the market. He wanted to see firsthand what happened, he also wanted to find out, who knew there was one of the people who saw the destruction.


Frans confidently got out of the car after pulling him over. Kiosk Arsy is the goal at this time.


"Actually in this place is very crowded, it is impossible if no one sees the incident" said Frans. His net twirled full in following with his body which also did the same.


The kiosk in the middle of the stall and also clothes, in front of it there is a row of sandal and shoe sales stalls. Kiosks that are all crowded by the visitors, is very impossible right?


"Is it true that no one saw it? Or maybe they just kept quiet for not daring to talk?" frans again. Various attention came out inside his head. Any possibility can happen.


"If not one of them, it means that there are those who deliberately do. They don't like Arsy. Or maybe it?" Frans did not dare to continue his words, he did not want to be rash in making decisions and would accuse just anyone without evidence.


Frans turned to walking, he saw the situation in a little neat because Arsy had already tidied up. But, there were still some items lying on the floor.


"They were outrageous, what exactly was the purpose of them all doing this. Do they envy Arsy because he can do all this? Or maybe, they do not want Arsy to open a business here and can be successful?"


Frans really doesn't know, but he's gonna figure out what's really going on. Who is the man who has had the heart to destroy part of the dream of the woman he loved so much for so long.


"Hey! Why are you here?!" the loud voice surprised Frans.


Frans quickly turned his head, twisted his body and saw who was coming and immediately shouted in a tone so dislike.


"You?" Frans frowned in disbelief. Why do men do not know themselves like Adi come to Arsy's place again, does he want to re-shame him, or maybe even the other way around?


Is Adi sorry for divorcing Arsy and he came to take her back? That's not possible, is it?


"Yes! Why, are you surprised I came? You don't like me coming here to meet Arsy?" adi's words so affirm.


"Why I shouldn't like it, you want to go wherever it's none of my business. Want you to come see him I can't stop as long as Arsy wants. But one that will be my business!" Frans was also no less confirmed at the end of the sentence.


"I won't let you hurt Arsy again. Once I see you make her cry, then it'll be my business." Frans Imbuh. He also walked closer to Adi.


The two stood facing each other, their neutrals sharp like lightning clashing together to grab each other. A aura of hostility seemed to have occurred to the two.


"Whatever I'm going to do, it's none of your business" Adi said. He had absolutely no fear that what he said would make Frans even more wary of him.


Frans grinned, looking calmer, but in the calmness there was something that could not be balanced by Adi. Adi lost to Frans.


Handsome, rich, successful, and top notch in the job. Adi lost to Frans. But Adi is too arrogant and does not want to realize it all. He thinks he's the better one than Frans or anyone else.


"Why are you like that?" Now Adi is frowning.


"What am I doing, if it's none of your business" Frans replied reversing Adi's remarks. Taking Adi's dialogue that he just said.


Not that Frans did not want to think, but it was also very suitable for him to say.


No more words Frans waltzing away. He continued to walk without looking at it at all. While Adi, he continued to stare with a very sharp dislike. Both hands have also clenched tightly to produce a sound that chatters many times.


"You think you can beat me? No!" gumam Adi's.

"Son," call Ms. Tantri. He walked over and sat down next to Arsy who had turned his head.


"Mom asks, don't be so sad. Maybe it has not been your sustenance. Believe me, God will give you what you want. God is always with those who are patient, son. God never sleeps" said Mrs Tantri.


"And yes, you do not have to refuse an offer from Nak Frans. He did it all because he really wanted to help you, he was very kind and also sincere. You take it?" Another imbibing.


Arsy is silent.


"Son, you can take it and say it as a debt. Once you have the results you will pay for it. With that you will not feel bad, and Nak Frans will definitely agree." said Ms. Tantri gave advice.


"Do you think Arsy should accept it, Budhe? Arsy's just scared."


"Budhe knows your worries. But there's nothing wrong with you accepting it as a form of respect for Frans Nak. Hem," Ms. Tantri gave a small nod while winking a short wink, garnished with a beautiful and sincere smile.


"God willing, Budhe. Arsy will think." Reply to Arsy who finally spoke up.


Ms. Tantri smiled, she was so relieved to hear that.


"Be assured, everything will be fine" Ms. Tantri could always keep Arsy calm. It's like a mother who always wants her child to be better. Not just in the material, but better heart and attitude.

"Damn, why can't I see Arsy. Why does it feel so hard" said Adi. He was so upset, his chest rumbled with rage from not being able to meet with Arsy as easily as usual.


The separation that had become his decision turned out to leave something in his heart. Something is missing, is Adi sorry? Maybe it can be said that way.


Irritatedly Adi left the Arsy kiosk with his motorbike. A bad state of heart makes him drive also can not concentrate, until finally he almost hit a man.


Tinn!


There was clearly a creaking wheel that was suddenly brake as well as a horn that was sounded so loud. Adi's motor stopped, his eyes also glared and met each other with the man who looked so shocked.


"If you go be careful dong!" yell Adi hard.


"God! People don't know themselves. The wrong place but it's angry! Lo healthy!" The man did not want to lose. His eyes also glared dislike that he was blamed.


"Lo thinks I'm not sane!" Adi answered back.


"Yes! You are not sane! Cuneiform!" upset that the man walked back, he did not want to linger seeing a face that was so arrogant as annoying as Adi.


"Basic cocky. Riding a motorbike is like walking his mother. Fuck up!" he kept stepping.


"The arrogant lo!" apparently the voice was still clearly heard in Adi's ear, he looked increasingly angry until finally he decided to return to the motorbike faster than before.


"O! You crazy man!" Shouted the man who had pulled over.
