Roses Are Not in Love
It's Teasing Me.

Happy Reading's...

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I just kept quiet and listened to all the complaints of Bang Daffa without daring to protest after the departure of the family of Pak Agung. Choosing to be safe by being a loyal listener, is the truest way right now. Because, it will not be good if I invite Bang Daffa to discuss my thoughts about the thoughts of Mr. Agung who wants to bring Adit.

"Bang, it's night I'm sleepy." My words when Bang Daffa has begun to be relieved with his uncle.

Bang Daffa looked at me longer. "By my company in a minute." Reply Bang Daffa. "Please." Unable to say no, I could only nod slowly with a little force.

Sitting beside Bang Daffa slowly Bang Daffa's voice shrank and then disappeared completely when the dark filled my eyes then all seemed to go back to the past with the presence of little Kak Melati, I was small, my parents too.

I was dreaming.

After a long exhausting dream, I regained my senses and was confused instead of playing, because when I woke up I was already in Bang Daffa's bed. I don't remember if I walked here, or Bang Daffa brought me here. But, is it possible if it was Bang Daffa who did it, it should be if Bang Daffa would certainly be closer if it went straight to my room only.

Lazy thinking of something I can't remember, I chose to open my eyes to find the owner of this room, and it turns out he was curled up on a sofa that was not worth the length of his body covered with thick.

Moving slowly down from the bed as well as I did when heading towards the door of the room, then rushed down to my room.

A bright morning came, but not as bright as the face of Bang Daffa who was more cruel than a hungry lion, or more sinister than an ancient grave unkempt. And I know the trigger must have been last night.

"Good morning." Sapaku to Bang Daffa with a thin smile review.

"Morning." The answer. "Adit's not up yet.?"

"Not yet, did he sleep last night." My answer. "Daffa wants to go early in the morning.?"

"Yes, it looks like I'm going to be busy till the afternoon." I must have heard the words of Bang Daffa.

"I'll think of your advice, War." Say Bang Daffa again while reaching for the toast I just put on his plate.

"Thank you, Bang."

"I think you have a point, they have rights over Adit." I added my smile to Bang Daffa as a thank you. "I'm asking you to help me, War."

"Help how.?" Ask wonder.

"If my decision is to let Adit be taken by Papa and Mama, then you have to convince Adit to part with you." Bang Daffa.

"Of course, I'll help with all my heart." Answer girang. The two of us continued to engage in conversation, until Bang Daffa was about to go to his office.

"Well, I'll go somewhere where there's a need.?" I said ask permission to Bang Daffa.

"Go, as long as Adit has a friend at home or you want to take Adit with you." Reply Bang Daffa in a flat tone.

"Thank you, Bang." A happy tone like a child just popped out of my lips. Until for a moment Bang Daffa looked at me with a strange look.

I drove Bang Daffa up to the porch, and still stayed happy about my plans today, until the smile was still stuck on my lips.

"War." Call Bang Daffa to me who was about to turn my body back after Bang Daffa got into his car.

"Yes, Bang." Answer me quickly.

"Not so." Briefly Bang Daffa and immediately closed the glass of his car then it had left the garage after a minute later.

Shrugging my shoulders slowly, I re-reviewed my smile and stepped in with a light feeling of thinking about the plan today to spend time with Adit.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

"Why are you at the Mall.?" Bang Daffa's loud voice intimidated me from the cell phone attached to my ear.

I turned all over to look for Bang Daffa who might be in the same place as me. "In Caffeshop, Roses." I straightened my eyes towards Bang Daffa and found Bang Daffa sitting in a bartender with a few people beside him.

"Jawab, why are you going to the Mall.?" Say Bang Daffa again.

"Here, we're looking for lunch, Bang."

"We who.?"

"Me and Adit and Niluh." My answer. "Bang Daffa need not worry, I make sure Adit does not see Bang Daffa." My next.

"Wait for me to finish the meeting, you guys pick the food first." Breaking up Bang Daffa cut off his call.

After choosing the appropriate seat in the food corner area, I just chose the right food for Adit.

"Dad.." Pekek Adit excitedly saw the figure of Bang Daffa who was walking towards us.

"Road, Daddy's at home tell him to work." Said Bang Daffa while kissing Adit's head.

"This is Mother's plan." Answer plain adit.

"So this is your business, War.?" Bang Daffa said softly.

I giggled as I closed my mouth to hear Bang Daffa's words. "It's supposed to be a secret, Bang. Not so Bang Adit."

"Yes, secret." Adit.

"alright. So, where's lunch for Dad." Adit and I looked at each other.

"Nothing." Answer Adit. "But Adit can share for Dad. Not so Mother." It was Adit who made me proud and added my smile to Adit.

"It's really dear."

"No need, let me ask you to have a mother." The chimpanzee of Bang Daffa while the sweet plate in front of me.

"can't. Later Mommy will be sick if Mommy does not eat." Adit protested by directly pulling back my plate.

Lunch passed happily that was not planned, as well as the road this afternoon which was also not planned. Adit's happy smile, Bang Daffa's happy smile as well as mine, all have a meaning that may soon become a memory for us. Even the small banana doll the size of my arm that Bang Daffa gave me at Adit's request, will also be a memory for us.

At least there are good and good memories of Bang Daffa that I can remember after this. If it's going to continue like this, I won't mind either. But, honestly I was ready for everything before I accepted Bang Daffa's offer to make peace with reality.

"Bang Adit came home first with Mbak Niluh yes. Dad still has a little business with Mother." Bang Daffa said that afternoon was too late for Adit.

"Adit wants to come." Adit Whine.

I turned to Bang Daffa who honestly did not know what Bang Daffa was thinking.

"Dad alike Mother will not be long. Not so Mother." Bang Daffa.

I smiled at Adit. "What Dad said. Adit's a good boy who sells to Dad, right.?"

"Yes, but Adit will think Mother will be fit to get home." Adit replied in a sad tone.

"There's a father who looks after Mother." The Typhoon Bang Daffa. Finally with a heavy heart Aditpun want to go home first, from Bang Daffa promised to spoil me. Ahh, the sweetness of that boy made me his first love.

After Adit died, Bang Daffa then moved his feet back to the top floor without saying a word.

"Get me company for a minute." Said Bang Daffa quietly, right we were in front of the cinplex area and immediately stepped again without waiting for my approval.

As long as we buy tickets for the open door, we finally enter in a dark cold room. Just containing a handful of people, we both seemed to be renting a private place for us.

Sometimes we will whisper about the film we are watching, the rest of Bang Daffa more often discuss about Adit who wants to be brought by Mr. Agung. And from the one I caught Bang Daffa signalling agree on that.

Two hours went by, the movie we watched ended up in, we both went out together like lovers who were in a drunken romance, holding hands because of the cold that's why our hands were turning.

On the way home, I was quieter. Not because I wanted to, but I was too baper with the movie I was watching earlier.

"War, are you okay.?" Ask Bang Daffa.

I nodded slowly. "I thought of the female lead."

Bang Daffa laughed loudly. "For whatever, War. I thought you were thinking another sad thing."

I don't answer I just put my position, if the story of my life was raised to be a big screen movie, it might be much more painful than the protogonist. But, I also did not expect that my story would make people pity me.

"Okay, I'm sorry. So what do I have to do to make up for it." Bang Daffa.

"Seriously.?" My toot.

"Tell me." Bang Daffa. "So soon say Roses, it's almost home. When I get home I don't want to go out anymore."

"Es cream." I have a voice flat.

"Es cream.? You know Adit can't eat that. Cook you take home."

"Who said I wanted to take it home." My speech.

"Gildesh." Bang Daffa said before laughing and finally stopped his car at a mini market near our house.

Bang Daffa was endlessly laughing at me who conveyed my fiery aspiration with various flavored Ice Cream bribes. And there was only one cone of Ice Cream left once Bang Daffa's car entered our residential area.

"That's a real baby, War. Cook a meal with a cane." Bang Daffa.

"The cook." I answered while trying to lick my lips.

"Stop, War." Bang Daffa.

"Ehhhh.." Bang Daffa snatched the Ice Cream from my hand.

"I told you not to do that." Say Bang Daffa, and immediately throw away the rest of my Ice Cream without explanation.

"The real Bang Daffa." I mengedumel while trying to clean my lips by occasionally biting it.

"Don't do it, War." Bang Daffa said fitting to coincide with us in front of the house.

"Do what." I who still do not know what Bang Daffa meant was still busy cleaning my lips with a tissue.

"It." Said Bang Daffa as he grabbed the tissue in my hand that I was using to wipe my lips. "It teases me."
