The Village Flower
The Regret of a Father

Lily was still speechless at a loss as to what answer she should give. Because all this time if his father calls and asks for Roses, Lily is always looking for various reasons so that he can live freely without rules from his father. Besides, Lily doesn't care and doesn't want to know where the Roses are going to stay.

"Lilly... Answer my question, Where are the Roses?!"

Lily, who had no answer, held her father's feet together, she wept bitterly over what happened to her and also the Rose she last left with Raka's friends. Until now Lily does not know how the fate of her sister.

"Lilly! I asked once again where the rose was! And what happened to you?!"

"Dad... I-I don't know where the Roses are." she cried.

Hearing that, Heru rose more and more black, He bent his body and raised both arms of Lily to stand up.

"What do you mean you don't know Lily?!"

"Dad forgive me... I'm sorry..."

"Dad won't forgive you before you tell me where the Roses are!"

"I really don't know Dad, the last time I met, I left him in the next village with four men." Lily kept crying imagining that night.

"Leave it with four men? What do you mean Lilly?"

Because she can no longer lie, Lily told me all the events that night, Even her pregnancy with Raka and Lily also told me without anything else covered up.

Hearing all the stories of his daughters, Heru dropped down on the floor. He regretted that he had been more concerned with his happiness than watching his daughter who was growing into a teenage girl.

"What have I done to my daughters, how different am I from Mona?" his tears were full of regret.

"Dad..."

Hearing Lily call out to him, Heru wiped away her tears and looked back wiping away the tears that had soaked her daughter's cheeks. "Calm down baby, I'll make Raka take responsibility for what she did."

"Then what about Dad's Roses?" lily asked sadly.

"We'll find him, if we don't see him, we'll call the police."

Lily nodded and hugged her father. His heart felt a little relieved because now he no longer lived his days alone.

At Fandi's house, For the first time, they both feel awkward. Despite one dining table, they only glanced at each other, and would turn their eyes away if caught stealing glances.

"A-e... I picked up the phone first." without waiting for Roses to answer, Fandi immediately took his phone away and spoke on the porch of his house.

"Call..."

"Fandy... When to go home, isn't it a holiday?" ask a woman at the end of the phone.

Mawar silently listened to Fandi's conversation from behind the door.

"A-e... Another week Ma,"

"Ma? Is that Mr Fandi's mother?" inner Rose.

"Well, if you're on holiday, go straight home, Mama won't wait any longer."

"Don't worry ma, Fandi promised to go straight home."

The call ended, Fandi stared silently at his phone screen for a moment, then stepped inside.

"So Mr Fandi wants to leave me?" ask the Rose who began to shed her tears.

Fandi turned to the side and saw the Rose standing there.

"Are you eavesdropping on my conversation?" ask Fandi.

"Just answer my question, sir, is Mr. Fandi going to come home and leave me?" The roses were getting teary, He was really afraid that Fandi would leave him after what had happened.

"Roses... Calm down, no one will leave you." Fandi cupped Rose's face and tried to calm her down.

"Sir Fandi knows how my family is, will Mr Fandi also leave me like them?"

"Roses... I told you I'd never leave you. Yep... Indeed, my mother called me to go home because every school holiday I always go home, so it has nothing to do with you Rose."

"Then what about me if Mr. Fandi comes home, I don't dare to stay in this house myself, What if there are people who intend evil to me like Raka once did?"

Fandi was still confused, remembering the promise he just said to his mother.
