The Steel-Cared Rose
Move On

It didn't take long for Miss Haliza to move on. Especially since watching Dylan, the father of his daughter's best friend.

He knows Dylan.  I've been amazed since I first got to know and know Dylan's personality.

As a woman, she was very impressed with the loyalty Dylan had. How dedicated in taking care of children and food stalls. And his attitude with the opposite sex.

Dylan is friendly, considerate and warm but when it comes to the opposite sex.  Especially if they have started to lead to attraction between the opposite sex. Dylan can turn very cold and distant.

Dylan's attitude intrigued many women including himself.

He is not unfaithful. Why remember people who have never appreciated a marriage relationship that has been lived for so long? Betrayed him? Maybe never loved her? Only use it because no woman wants to be hard-earned from below.

Is not from zero only in Pertamina SPBU?

Maybe from the beginning they didn't have to be together. Because she realized that her ex-husband is like most men who like beautiful women, young and sexy.

Maybe because of the way it was at that time. Makes him unwilling to ask himself to be his wife.  There's no other choice. A foolish girl who believes that men who have almost nothing but the burden of life, worshipers of beauty.  To love and accept himself as he is.

For years she never complained about the burden her ex-husband gave her and shared.

Believing that she is the only one in the heart and mind of her ex-husband. But once her ex-husband was free from all limitations. It was only known to the tastes of women who have always been a longing for him.

She didn't blame her ex-husband much less that crazy, stupid woman. He blames himself for being too naive, debilitating and perhaps even crazier for being willing to live life and be loyal to a man who only uses himself when he has nothing.

Her tears are dripping. Heart hurts. Soul struggling. Not accepting the cruel fate of scraping her so much.

Oh God, your destiny is so bitter. As bitter as bile as slashed sebilu. My soul is sad, my body is broken. Everything feels so soft. My heart is crumpled. Scum-headed.

Why can she trust her ex-husband's love feelings first? 

Women are easily deceived creatures. With words of love. Expressions of love that touch their feelings.

Why didn't he use his logic back then?  For men when they have nothing. They often have no choice. Anyone who wants to accompany them takes pains in reaching life. They will choose to be his companion. 

For the woman who is hurt and hurt. A man's loyalty is everything. Look at Dylan's daily life and the news surrounding Dylan. Makes it dull and touched.

Callista often told me about his mother's father. How harmonious their families are. How the two couples love each other. How can his father not forget his mother even for a second. How his father put all the pictures of his mother in his room. Their entire flat contains photos of her mother and their family. How they all missed and lost their mother.

"Your father loved your mother so much?"

Callista nodded his head, "Papa never forgets Mom for a second. When we were in Switzerland, papa never forgot to give mama a flower from the garden. If out of the country. Always bring mama, presents for me and my sister, chocolate and mama's favorite cake."

"So sweet.." Haliza was very touched to hear Callista's story.

Dylan was completely different from Ahkam. Women's dreams about the shadow of husband and lover.

If Ahkam was just tempted by Hana. And Ahkam is not the only one. Almost every eye if Hana passes by or talks to them. Makes them groggy and misbehaved. But Dylan remained indifferent.

Is he normal? Haliza's inner, or her love for her mother Callista so great?

At least he felt indebted to Dylan. Because without realizing it. It had comforted her heart to reject the charm of her husband's young wife. It often makes him feel intimidated.

Haliza approached Dylan and started a conversation, "Do you think Hana's interesting?"

"Where who?" Ask Dylan back.

"God! You don't know him. In this elementary school, everyone knew him especially most men. Are you pretending to be indifferent?"

"What are you talking about?" Dylan asked confusedly.

"Include me, Haliza. Syarifah's mother is your daughter's best friend, Callista."

"You're Sharifah's mother?"

"Yeah!"

"Callista and Sharifah are close friends. They often stay with each other. And it turns out you're his mother. Sorry."

"It's okay. We never stopped by or talked to each other. How do you know, right?"

"Yeah! Nice to meet you." Dylan said in a stale manner.

"Yes, me too. I think it's good that we visit each other once in a while."

"To get to know each other. Our children are friends."

"It doesn't mean we should be friends, does it?" Dylan laughed.

"You're the only guy at this school who's so indifferent to Hana."

Dylan laughed, "You're overreacting. Where's where?"

"Maybe every woman except your wife."

Dylan's face suddenly clouded. His heart was so bitter and painful to remember Sinta.

"You remember your wife?"

"Why are you talking about my wife?"

"Almost everyone knows that your wife just left you and married someone else. Though bird news. Because you and your kids always say your wife takes care of her mother. No one believes the story."

"My wife didn't leave us to marry someone else. He also did not take care of his mother. Don't you spread this. I can't tell my children the truth or anyone."

"You're very honest. You don't have to say anything to me."

"I keep this thing alone. At least it makes me a little relieved."

"You love your wife so much?"

"More than my own life and soul."

"She's a very lucky woman to be loved by a good, loyal and handsome man like you."

"I'm the lucky one loved by her."

"You two are so lucky to have true love for each other."

"Yeah!"

"If my ex-husband were like you. My children and I will be a very happy family."

"Love cannot be forced. If someone loves two people at the same time. Then choose the second one. Because if you love the first, you won't fall in love with the second."

"Wow! Very wise."

Dylan laughed, "That's a common saying."

"You know who Hana is?"

"No. And why do I need to know him?"

"She was the young mother at this school. His sister went to school here because she married a rich man who was almost twice her age."

"I think there's a lot like that. I don't see special."

"You're taking your kids for a ride, but you don't know Hana at all?"

"Any celebrity I don't know much less nobody."

"Nobody? He's the one who's had the most impact on my life."

"Oh yeah? Why would that be?"

"He married my husband. Hana my husband's young wife. We divorced because of her presence at our wedding."

"God! You should be so obsessed with him. I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. You're not wrong anything. Why should I apologize?"

"Thusband. Like I said. If your husband loves you then there will be no one else present in his life."

"Yeah!"
