The Steel-Cared Rose
Choux Korean

Dylan is getting ready to pick up his kids from school to home. Filzah and Mariyah prepare to take over Dylan's job.

"Please the customer there ask for rice fat same ice mixed. While there ask for curry rice, fat and tea pull. Here's their order-order bonds. I have to leave now. Keanu, Sapphire and Callista are coming home soon."

"Good, bang."

Dylan rushed out of his shop. Walk towards the apartment. Towards basement. He got into his car and drove it to the school where his three children attended.

To facilitate their shuttle and school activities. She was enrolled in a school chosen by her three children.

When Dylan passed to pick up his two children. When the two female employees talked about their boss.

"Heard his wife ran away?"

"really? Cheated on? Handsome husband, as good and faithful as that? I want to be his wife!" Filzah said with eyes floating into the sky, "I'll love the three children like my own."

"You've never been married. I don't know what it's like to take care of a child and a household. I'd better be the one who's widowed and has children."

"Our master wants to be like you who are widows? Most people are looking for girls and virgins."

"Who said that? People who are married and failed. More practical to think."

"But our master is like very indifferent."

"Maybe a broken heart?"

"Eitherway! Doesn't look like he likes to flirt or seduce girls or women. Is she gay?"

"Gay has three children?"

"Many are like that. But he doesn't look flirting or teasing with men either?"

"It looks like trauma or heartbreak."

Dylan picked up his three children and drove them home to their flat.

"How's school going, Cal?"

"good. It's just that Hani was talking to me so we both reprimanded Miss Amara."

"You can tell Hani. If you talk, do not fit school hours. Your teacher is clearly offended. You and your friend didn't notice the lesson."

"We had a fight."

"Why?"

"I blame him and he doesn't take it."

"Maybe you can talk about it more slowly. Don't blame it directly. Let him process the consequences you are living through. It's better if he tells you himself that you shouldn't talk and be punished."

"I was spontaneously angry. Because we were immediately scolded and punished."

"It's okay! One of your friends also invites you to chat during class hours so you are scolded. But next time don't scold him first. Look how your friends react after you've been punished."

"yeah. Hani seems to regret. He also did not dare to invite me to chat during the lesson."

"That means you don't have to scold her. Because he learned a lesson from what he did. He already understood the consequences of his actions."

"Yeah, pa!"

"If you were Shappire. How's it?"

"Ahsan often bothers and mocks me."

"Have you reported it to your teacher?"

"It has. He apologized, but he still did."

"Alright, tomorrow we'll talk to Ahsan. I'll talk to him with you. We ask nicely. Why he likes to bother you. How's it?"

"All right."

"If you're alone how? My little hotshot?" Dylan asked his youngest son.

"I'm gonna go on the stage for the school breakup."

Arriving at the apartment. Callista, Sapphire and Keanu lay down on the living room sofa.

Dylan headed for the fridge and took out a box of choux korean cookies. Move it to the plate. Take him to the living room. Keep the rest of the cake in the box to the refrigerator.

Keanu's eyes sparkled at his favorite cake.  Take and eat them one by one until only half stay.

"You like it?"

Keanu nodded his head.

"Tomorrow breakfast with this cake?"

Keanu nodded his head.

Callista and Sapphire also tasted the cake but not as much as Keanu who really liked it.

"If you are very tired. Change your clothes and sleep in your room."

Sapphire and Callista headed for their room. Dylan took Keanu to his room. Change into Keanu's clothes as well as her. And accompanied him to sleep.

His body was also very tired. Wake up early, take care of her children's needs, work in the store. Pick up the schoolboy. They slept well for about an hour. Dylan slept hugging Keanu. Callista hugged Sapphire.

In his dream, Dylan meets Sinta. The wife he missed so much.

"Love! I missed you so much!" Dylan ran towards his wife.

"Me too!"

They hugged each other and missed.

"How are the kids?"

"They're good. How are you?"

"I miss you and my kids. How's Keanu? Does she like the cake I sent her?"

"That's from you?" Dylan woke up suddenly. Her chest feels very tight. All just dreams, even if they feel real.

His heart feels sore. One side he can release the longing for his wife but on one side his soul is so miserable and languishing. They realized they would be separated forever.

It's like death. Even if you exist but I can't see much less touch you. 

Taking you from Dean was a mistake. You could say karma. But look at our three hearts. It is karma that means and brings love.

I can't understand why they could wish for his soul mate. Hurt their wives' hearts? Because to me, you're the only one. No one can force me to be faithful let alone loving. Never thought to sow a wound let alone make you languish.

My heart and soul chose you as my soul mate. I never hesitated much less regret knowing and choosing you as my true love.

In the midst of a marriage tempest for treason and or divorce. We are separated and forcibly separated. Is this what we call the test of love?

Every love has its test if it is not tested by loyalty, betrayal, death and circumstance.

Did Dean take you back out of grudge and heartache or did he feel the same amount of love I felt?

Many people say that men cannot live with just one woman. But that doesn't apply to me and Dean.

You're the only woman for me and Dean. The three of us are in a love triangle. Maybe you yourself are ambiguous. Your heart can be double because love is full of dilemmas.

Am I jealous or starting to not trust you? Or afraid of losing you? 

Love is a mystery. Divine Secrets. No one can understand. Why reign in the heart? Substitute or eternal? It all depends on the purity of love itself.

Love obsession or ambition or indeed true? 

Dylan got up from his bed. Keanu was still sound asleep. The clock shows at four in the afternoon. He did not return to the store. After school hours, it is time to take care and accompany the children back. 

At six o'clock in the afternoon the shop will be closed. 

He decided to take a bath, pray ashar and cook food for his children.

Have chicken breast that has been given salt and pepper in the refrigerator.

He wants to make chicken katsu. Saute broccoli, carrot pieces, baby corn and meatballs as vegetables. He would saute the vegetables using margarine. Adding mushroom broth, sugar salt, sesame oil and oyster sauce. Steaming tofu that has been seasoned with mushroom broth.
