Mona comes to Heru's house, her ex-husband.

The goal is to find the existence of the Rose and question his responsibility as a father to his daughters.

Furious, Mona banged on the door and shouted Heru's name.

"Mas Heru, Bhraakk... Bhraa... Bhraa..."

Five minutes later Heru and Mursidah came out together. Seeing Mona come with anger raises various questions in the mind of Heru and also his new wife.

"What's the matter Mona, why are you here so angry?"

"Where's the Rose?"

"Well, come here, you know the kids live in the old house."

"I've been there Mas, But Roses don't exist, Only Lily's the one who's doing the bawdy thing!" shouting Mona.

"What's!? What do you mean by that?"

"Yes! Lily and her boyfriend are perverting in the room, how do you play your role as a father?"

"You're blaming my husband?" mursidah asked to interrupt the conversation.

"Are you not reflecting? Even Mas Heru divorced you because you were caught perverted with your husband's own niece, If now your daughter does the same, then it's the fruit of your deeds!"

"Shut your mouth and don't interfere, 'cause I'm talking to the father of my children!"

"Your children's father is now my husband, so watch your words because I won't let anyone speak ill of him."

Heru themangu looked at Mursidah, Speech and also love Mursidah to him all this time, making Heru always helpless to be one of the reasons Heru prefers Mursidah rather than his children.

"Mas! Why are you quiet?!" shouting Mona.

"What else Mona, what my wife said was right, after all since we've been together, Lily's always been out on your rich nights, right, so it's no wonder she's done the same with you!"

"Mass!!! Lily is our daughter, Even if I do that, I don't want our kids to do the same, They're too young, Let alone the Rose, She..."

"Then do you think if they're grown up and married, they can do something like that, like you did to me?"

The rose turned around and moved away from there.

Fandi who saw it, Hurry up to follow the Rose who walked aimlessly.

"Where are your roses going?" ask Fandi who continues to follow the Roses without carrying his motorbike parked not far from Heru's house.

Not paying attention to Fandi's question, Roses continued to walk with empty eyes, his tears were allowed to flow down to wet his neck to the clothes he was wearing.

"Roses..."

Until they passed a river, the new Rose stopped its steps. It faces a fast-flowing river with a color of water so murky that anyone who falls there will be invisible to the eye.

"What roses do you think of?" asked Fandi while glancing down with worry.

Not answering Fandi's question, Roses shouted as loudly as possible, As if vanishing sadness in his heart.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... Whyaaaaaaaaaaa...???"

"Why is my life like this, what's my fault, why doesn't anyone love me! Father, Mother, Sister Lily is all just selfish no one cares about me." she cried with a cry of grief.

Fandi stared sadly at the Rose, Letting the teenage girl vent all the disappointment in her heart.

"Why doesn't anyone care about me, Why.." a voice that starts to soften and a body that starts to weaken, Making the Rose plunge to the ground, resting its head on the river's guardrail.

Looking at the Rose who had started to calm down, Fandi knelt down and wiped away her tears.

"You've vented all your frustrations, come home with me."

Rose raised her head and looked at Fandi who was so soothing to her heart.

"So you said no one cared about you, right? Now I want you to know there's still me who cares about you, so come home with me, To my house, Don't have to think about anything else. There's no need to think of people who don't care about you."

With such a haru feeling, Roses immediately embraced Fandi as if he had forgotten if he was a teacher at the school where he studied.

Seriate...
