The Steel-Cared Rose
Best Memories

Like any other Sunday night. They're gathered in Dylan's room. Watch a video Dylan made while they were living in Switzerland.

"I miss my mom a lot and the times we lived in Switzerland." Calista hugged her father very tightly. Her tears are spilling. The shirt her father wore was wet with his tears.

"We all miss your mama so much." Dylan hugged Callista and rubbed his daughter's hair.

Saphire hugged her father's belly. His face was facing the front of the television in front of his father's bed with Keanu.

Keanu himself put his head at his father's feet. Watch the same video as everyone.

Moments with his kids. Dylan never thought about getting married again. They all need it most. He did not want his attention to be divided with his new wife. Especially to ignore their children. Their sweet and beautiful memories were with Sinta.

"Pa! Mama is so beautiful. Did you see her smile?" Callista wiped her tears.

"Yeah! He was crazy about his garden. Your mother is very beautiful. Like you and Saphire. You two go down the beauty."

"When will mom come back? Doesn't Mom miss us all?"

"Of course he misses us all. But he hasn't been able to visit us all. He will come back and live with us again. After all this business is done."

"Yeah! I can't wait to see that."Callista said in a longing tone.

"I'd like to see a video of my mom preparing for my birthday." Saphire.

"Wait for this video to end." Callista.

"Yeah! After this I want to see a video of my mama preparing for my birthday, you, Keanu and papa. No video of mom preparing her own birthday."

"Of course there isn't. His special birthday. I don't want your mama preparing her own birthday." Tukas Dylan's.

"Mama doesn't mind at all. He wanted to make and prepare it himself."

"Yeah! But I'm not allowing it. Because I also want to give her a surprise."

"You never miss his birthday." Callista.

"Only at that moment can I pour all my feelings into her." Dylan.

"Pa!" Callista hugged her father tighter and tighter, "I'd like it if I get married. I'm gonna marry someone like you, Pa!"

"Sure! I have to make sure the person you choose can take care of you and take better care of you than me. Or I'll break his neck."

The whole thing is laughing.

"Are you going to marry Cal?" Ask Saphire.

"Yeah! Sure do. I'm already big."

"Not big enough to get married. You have to wait and be patient. I need you to clear up all your business before you decide to get married."

"I'm not getting married. Until I find someone like you."

"You have to find someone better than me." Said his father"Do you want to order food? I don't cook today."

"How about we order pizza?" Keanu.

"Good idea!" They all agreed.

"I also want to order chocolate cake." Callista.

"alright. Chocolate cake and pizza. American favorites."

"Yeah!"

"I want ice cream too." Sapphire Sahut.

"Neopolitans?"

"Durian."

"It's durian.

"Vanilla and chocolate, pa." Callista Pinta.

"OK, durian, vanilla and chocolate."

They were waiting for their food and ice cream orders to arrive when their flat bell rang.

Callista opened the door and it turned out Sharifah, sharif and his mother.

"Hello! We're not bothering you, are we?" Sahut Haliza cheerful.

"We're watching a video in papa and Keanu's room."

"What video?"

"When we all lived in Switzerland."

"looks interesting. Can we join?" Ask Haliza.

"Pa! Mama Sharifah is coming!" Shouted Callista.

Dylan's room door opened.

"We want to join you. Can you?" Sahut Haliza smiled widely.

"You don't have an event yourself. We're the same fate, right?" Sahut Haliza's.

"Who said we don't have a show? We were watching a video of my wife. The children's mother."

"Can we see it?" Haliza is half-forcible. Won't be disappointed to get a guy as good as Dylan. Not with his love package. Which was given only to his wife.

Dylan wouldn't betray him. He takes care of it well and is responsible to it. What else does a woman need from a man in the end?

"We were watching in my room and Keanu."

"We are crowded. Not just the two of them." Sahut Haliza is stubborn.

"I'll take the video out. We'd better watch in the living room." Said Dylan who was feeling uneasy.

"All right! It's up to you." Sahut Haliza's. 

"We're ordering pizza, cake and ice cream." Callista to Sharifah.

"Ihappily!" Sahut Syarifah.

"Yeah!" Callista Sahut.

"I also brought you the food I made myself." Sahut Haliza,"Buying snacks for all of us. Take it in the car." Haliza handed over the car keys to Sharifah.

Callista, Sharifah, Saphire, Keanu and Sharif headed for the car together.

Dylan was astonished to see the empty living room, "Where are they all going?" Ask.

"Take things in the car. I brought food and drink."

"No need. We also ordered food and drinks."

"It's okay. To add to the food and drink already in place. You can keep the rest in your fridge."

"No need! You just take the rest home."

"We for two. How's it?"

"As far as you go."

Dylan took the video out into the living room. Tailor the vcd he brought from his room. Using television in the family room.

"That's your wife?" Ask Haliza.

"Yeah." Dylan.

"It's so pretty."

"Thank you."

"He really likes gardening?"

"yeah. He owns a vegetable and fruit shop from his own garden. Florist shop from the flowers he planted himself."

"Wow!"

"He also makes his own butter, cheese and milk."

"Wow!"

"You know why I can't forget my wife."

"Yeah! She seems to be a very special woman. I really like his smile. The expression on his face."

"Yeah! She's like a sunflower, right?"

"yeah. That glows in the morning."

"You like it?"

"Yeah! I told you I wouldn't mind if she came back and you remarried her."

"Why do you want to be my wife so much?"

"You are not lonely. Alone?"

"certain. I'm so lonely. But I cannot forget my wife. I don't want anyone to take away memories of my wife."

"I promise I won't take away the memories of your wife. Not from you or your children. How's it?"

"It's all too fast for me. I never intended to marry again. For me, marriage is a once in a lifetime."

"Am I less beautiful to you?"

"You're beautiful. It's just, like I said. I don't want to lose my memories of my wife. No one can accept someone who is still alive in his past."

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Don't wait for me."

"I'll make peace with your past. Accepting your past becomes a part of life that we will live. How's it?"
