The Steel-Cared Rose
Loadings

Dylan visits Sinta in prison. Bring him fried noodles and vegetable bakwan with shrimp mixture.

"Where did you buy it?"

"I made my own. You likey?"

"Very good. The shrimp is large and numerous. It's called a shrimp bakwan with a vegetable topping."

They both laughed.

"I'm glad you like the food I brought."

"Taste you good."

"really?"

"His fate is also much. Look at these fried noodles. The feeling is definitely champion. You're good at spice-making. But behold, ati ampella, meatballs, black pepper slice meat and shrimp? Sawi and carrots?"

"My subscription is very special. So I have to make it super special."

Sinta laughed when she heard it.

"Have you eaten?"

"Look at you just eat it's full."

"Don't you catch a cold!" Sinta forced to feed her food to Dylan.

"I've eaten. I'm just teasing you."

"I don't want you to get sick or catch a cold."

"You just calm down. The one who's facing a serious problem is you're not me!"

Sinta continued her meal.

"I can eat anything. As for you, just prison food. The food that your husband and I brought."

Sinta rolled her noodles with a fork.

"How's my case going?"

"Helena brings good news. He's bugging Sean and Brian."

"Am I going to be free soon?"

"So all the evidence is complete. You'll be free."

"I don't know how to thank you." Mata Sinta.

"Don't cry." 

Dylan took out his handkerchief that folded neatly, clean and very fragrant.

Removing Sinta's tears with her handkerchief.

"You don't owe me anything. It's all my job."

"But, it's too much…."

"No, it's not."

Sinta spent her days in prison. Overseeing all his life journey.

There was nothing he could do to change it. Everything he does is the logical consequence of a decision that has been taken and must be lived.

His popularity as the head of the region was destroyed due to the legal case that befell him but as an artist and politician some people are still waiting for his work in the world of artists and politics.

"They miss your political events. Can you get it from behind the prison?"

"What do you mean hold an event from behind the prison?"

"I don't want to invite procons. My political opponents won't keep quiet about it. They're gonna do something. I'm tired of all this."

"You seem to be thinking a lot. We'll talk again."

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. I want to quit everything."

"Your law case is running. Your lawyer is trying to free you. You need your popularity back. They want to pay you to perform because they like you. Why can't you ignore those who always judge you negatively? People can pay for anything they want as long as they are not forced to do it. No one protests when they pay for expensive concerts as well as all your events. Those who want it are not you. What the hell are you doing? Events are not stealing and corruption. Same with other business commodity shows. You will also be threatened with a fine to pay your penalty. Your company needs help too. You think you don't need the money? Not yet your political programs? Everyone who works with you. Your social projects. Things aren't as simple as you think. If anyone doesn't like you. Not that they can do what you've done or better."

Adam's political manager tried to corroborate and convince him.

"Just because some people don't like you doesn't mean what you're doing is wrong."

"I'm facing a legal case. What do you think is on their minds? You don't decide everything yourself. Talk to my lawyers, Dylan and Cindy, my artist manager. Do not speak right and wrong to a person who has been found guilty by the court. Dylan is appealing. I don't know what the court's decision is. Whether Dylan can release me or wait for cassation and legal review. I don't know."

Sinta said with her chest down. It's all his emotions.

"I know your popularity is not good right now. Especially those who don't like you use it to destroy you."

"Do you know why you're still forcing me? Know it? Whatever I do intimidates them."

"I'll talk to Dylan and Cindy. You'd better rest and focus on the punishment you're going through."

"I'm tired. I just want to stop and get out of it all."

"Hold on! Legally you may be found guilty. But conditionally? Not everyone wants to do the right thing. There may not be any thanks or appreciation. Even the ones you face punishment for. But the fact that you made it all go smoothly even though some people wanted to destroy you for their personal ambitions. It will always be an irrefutable thing."

"I'm an ordinary man. Whatever you say. Impacted me. I want my psychiatrist. That's all I need. I don't want to be disturbed. Anyone can do it. It doesn't have to be me."

"What do you mean anyone can do it? You think people can replace the charisma or talent of others? How can you explain the different achievements? They want to see you and pay you nothing else!"

"Don't push me!"

Sinta's crying.

"I'll call your psychiatrist. Looks like you really need it."

"I need my psychiatrist."

Adam rushes to leave Sinta and reports the head of the prison that Sinta needs her psychiatrist.

Calling Dylan to discuss his plan. He's gonna call Cindy, too.

"You don't bother him!" Dylan's tone was rising.

"Don't bother him. You don't get it. We'd better meet."

"The conditions are heavy. Don't burden him. He is currently focusing on his legal case. After that, rehabilitation is his good name. Don't add to the load."

"You're talking from the legal side of the legal case that happened to him. I speak in terms of political commodities. Once rehabilitation is done. Popularity returned. Those who hate him cannot resist his political commodities and his artistic career. Cindy told me a number of producers offered antagonistic roles as inmates."

"I don't care! I don't want him to be under pressure. You can't talk about political commodities or anything to people who are under heavy pressure. You guys are the same! If not, hate it! Can't you treat her as a human child who needs sincerity?"

"Is it that bad?"

"What do you expect if you're always dealing with toxic things in your life? Hate and exploit?"

"All right, I'll wait for your confirmation."

"I can't promise anything. Legal case, good name rehabilitation and psychiatric treatment are my priorities right now."

"alright. I will suspend all offers made to our management. I thought I'd tell Cindy the same thing."

"Please tell Cindy. Don't bother him just yet. His condition is not okay. The psychiatrist told me. He could potentially have severe depression. When that happens, he won't be able to communicate with anyone. Cut off from the outside world. No one can communicate with him because he'll turn like a rock."

"Have it?"

"That bad. I'm asking you not to bother him. Right now he could not do anything that could burden him. The load is too heavy. The destruction of the characters addressed to him reached the threshold of his sanity."

"alright. Thanks for your explanation."
