The Steel-Cared Rose
Intersections

Senggigi is a famous place in Lombok. Especially beach. There are many beautiful beaches in Lombok. One of them is Senggigi which is located on the west coast of the island of Lombok.

Ciamik beach attractions. Moreover, the white sand and sunset are set against the silhouette of Mount Agung, Bali.

The beach is not as big as Kuta. But for a moment tourists will be in Kuta. Here it looks like those who are snorkeling or enjoying the beach like the two of them.

“This place is very beautiful. It's a shame if you don't stay here.” Dylan.

“Do Ahkam not mind if I stay here?” Tanya Haliza hesitated.

“You are divorced. You don't have to ask for his approval.”

“Yeah, I know but I don't want to mention it.”

“Do what he offended? You're not his wife. You already have your own life.”

“Ahkam likes to cuddle.”

Dylan grabbed Haliza's hand. Stare within.

“You are not his wife. You have each other's lives. Must respect each other's life and privacy.”

“Yes, you're right. Being in good relationship does not mean breaking each other's boundaries.”

“Yeah. If we get married later. I don't want you to go to his house. Take care of you like you take care of me.”

Haliza laughs.

“I'm glad to see you laughing even if you have to pay with heartache.” Connect Dylan.

Haliza's getting chuckled.

“I thought, only Ahkam can sulk.”

“You are insensitive. How not to snatch. You must strictly take the limit. Or you cannot continue your life in good health.”

“But you don't mind if, Sharifah and Sharif stay with us.”

“I've looked at them like my real children. Of course, I don't mind as long as it's not Ahkam who lives with us. Especially sharing a room with me!”

Haliza's laughter broke. Her tears were almost flowing.

“Why should he room with you?” Haliza asked with difficulty in the middle of her laughter.

“Now, maybe you want to be with the kids. You asked me to accompany Ahkam.”

“Stop acting silly!”

“From now on, you should get used to your divorce. Otherwise, there will be a series of silly events also maybe drama.”

“But I still have to tell you, right if you want to stay here?”

“Yeah, sure. Later think you're missing or kidnapped or eloped with me.”

Haliza called Ahkam.

“I want to stay in Senggigi. Here very beautiful.”

“You're with Dylan?” Ahkam said in a dislike tone.

“We are divorced. Should not, interfere in each other's personal affairs.”

“Yeah, you're right. But I myself did not bring Hana so that we could enjoy the family holiday atmosphere as before. Don't misunderstand me. For children. While you even take a walk with Dylan.” Grunts Ahkam.

“We accidentally met Dylan here. You're upsetting me and uncomfortable spending the holidays with you. For my mood to improve. I better stay away and refresh myself.”

“Whatever! Like you said we're divorced. You're free to do whatever you like.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Kids also seem to really like Gili Trawangan. Looks like we'll also stay here.”

“Alright then.”

“Good. Have fun..”.

“You too..”

They hang up the phone. Haliza looked at Dylan's face with a doubtful look.

“Aparticularly?”

“Nothing...”

“Your face does not show like that.”

“I feel guilty. It should be an impressive holiday for my kids. They must have missed our vacation moments together first.”

“Your children have you both. Don't exaggerate. You don't have to force yourself if you're uncomfortable. For the good of your children too.”

“You're right.” Haliza developed her smile towards Dylan with a grateful look.

After booking a room. They continued to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of Senggigi. While shopping for clothes because they do not carry one piece of clothing. All left at the hotel.

They walked up to the beach with bare feet. Enjoy the atmosphere of the beach as well as the breeze blowing.

“I was at the intersection.” Haliza.

“Yeah, I know.”

“Me and Ahkam once promised to always be together until old age. Until death separates.”

“There is no such appointment on the marriage contract right?”

“Nothing. But we intend to marry once in a lifetime.”

“But Hana is in the middle of you two. Your marriage is sinking. Me, Calista, Sapphire and Keanu want you to be part of our family. Sinta was happy with Dean. Ahkam has found Hana. Are you sure you will be happy with Ahkam and Hana?”

“What do you think?”

Dylan stopped his footsteps. Hana's hand gripped with affection. Handled it.

“Sometimes the three are too narrow in the marriage. I was once in your position. When I haven't let go and let Sinta go. It hurts so much. Grievous. Bemoan. A shadow in their relationship. You made me find meaning in my new life. No Sinta nor Dean. Just you and me. Neither Ahkam nor Hana.”

“Give me time..”

“Take time as much as you want.

“Thank you..”

They ordered two glasses of sweet wine and satay bullayak.

“How did you feel when you were separated from Sinta?” Haliza asked as they waited for the food and drinks they ordered to be prepared.

“Of course very sad. I feel like my life is over.”

“I also feel like it.” Sinta admitted.

“Our family is very happy and harmonious. You can imagine. No problem at all. Suddenly Dean snorted it from me and the kids.”

“You married her while she was Dean's wife.”

“At that time we felt we had no other choice. With Sinta's fake death. All of her life ended including her marriage to Dean. Everything happened beyond expectations. Dean won't let go even if we already have three hearts.”

“Does he want to punish you?”

“Entahlah. It might be but it could also be because she loves Sinta. Maybe both. I don't know. Our relationship is good now. I don't want to ruin it with things that are no longer relevant.”

“Yeah, you're right. Especially now that they are waiting for their second baby. Emier is also a near-perfect child. Not just handsome. The boy grew up very well, smart as well as soft.”

“Yeah, originally my kids nobody liked it. They were jealous of him but at this moment. They all love him.Emier is very gentle and kind never retaliated let alone dispute what his brothers did to him. He also loved his mother very much. I almost cried hearing how Sinta treated her. Before Sinta gathered with all her children.”

“Yeah, Emier's a very special kid is also amazing. Since when do you like it?”

“Since first knowing him. I like to know Sinta in another form.”

“Yeah.”

“You're the one who told me.” Dylan said he pulled a drink to their table.

“It's very sweet also fresh.” He said while drinking his drink. Take a skewer. Chew it. Stabbing with a piece of Lombok lontong.

“You eat and drink while I tell you? Nice...” Sinta said followed by Dylan's laughter.

“Isn't that perfect? Eating a drink while hearing your story?”

“I'm hungry, thirsty and must be coupled with story telling?”

“Ya already eat and drink first how?”

“I'm just kidding. I can tell you a story while eating and drinking.”

“You will tell me with your mouth full of food. Sipping your drink?”

“Of course not. Alright. I'll tell you when Ahkam turns away from me. Marry Hana. The world seems to be collapsing. I can't believe it. He is a good father and husband. Even after we got divorced. He still cares about me and the kids. Of course I was very sad when I lost Ahkam. Like you said life stops turning. I hate Hana so much and hurt.”
