Wild Roses For Luqman
19. Maternal

"You're a future mother." Luqman replied.

"Mother candidate?" repeat the rose while frowning for a moment, then chuckle.

"The prospective husband does not exist, has thought far to be a mother-to-be. Luqman is funny."

Luqman and his mother looked at each other, then shook his head.

"Our fool is set in Lauhul Mahfudz, the Rose. You have to believe that." Luqman replied again.

"Oh, yeah. If Luqman's soul mate is, the Rose. Won't you?"

The girl put on a big smile and lowered her eyebrows. But it made Luqman wrong and warmed his face. The housekeeper was increasingly chuckling to see his employer was wrong.

'Why have a housekeeper, like having a comedian? Sometimes it can raise my blood pressure quickly. But not infrequently he was able to lower my blood pressure drastically.' Inner Luqman while kneading his temple.

"Roses. He said his intentions changed? Why do you still like teasing Auntie's kids?" said Mama Firda, who had been silent since then to pay attention to her wonderful household assistant.

"Sorry, Aunt. It turned out that changing was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Very difficult. Many temptations. Roses think, if it has repented it is all plates only. It's like a motorway." lamented Rose looked desperate.

He dropped his body on his seat earlier while snorting in annoyance. And for the umpteenth time, his master seemed shocked to see his abstaining attitude.

"Remember the Rose. All of those people, are being demanded to be able to change in a better direction. Auntie sure, you can change."

"Tante why is that sure about the rose? The rose is not so sure."

"Tante has heard many stories of converts, as well as former sinners. At first they seemed to hesitate. But as time went on, they became better people than the people who helped her."

"Oh, may the rose be like that."

"You must also be sure of yourself, Rose. Nothing is impossible if God wills."

The rose of the mangosteen heard his master's explanation.

"Don't be so late. Cobain tuh, the other clothes." said Mama Firda.

"Ready, Aunt." The rose returned a smile and grabbed the mustard-colored tunic, then put it on.

"Well, gini dong mas, if you want to buy rose clothes. A little model, not like the first one. Like mothers."

"Must give thanks first. Don't protest too much. If no one wants to buy you what clothes?" Luqman.

"Yes-yes." The rose pursed her lips. But it looks adorable.

After trying on all the clothes that Luqman had bought, the girl opened a paper bag, which contained a box. A moment of Rose flipped through the box, and opened it.

"Yes. You want me to teach you?"

"Of course, mas. Let it not look like a primitive man." replied the Rose, enthusiastically.

The man explained patiently, how to operate the flat object that has become the primary need of millions, even billions of people.

Mama Firda also helped explain, if the Rose still does not understand as well.

"In this phone, I have entered my mother's number and my number. So, if at any time there's anything, you can call us."

"Good, mas. Once again Roses thank you for the kindness of Luqman and Aunt Firda family.

"It's a camera, huh?" Rose pointed to a picture of a small app on the phone screen. Luqman and Mama Firda nodded their heads.

"We take a picture yuk, Tan, mas." invite the Roses excitedly.

"May." replied Mama Firda while smiling.

The rose drew her face closer to Firda's, then revealed their best smile. Luqman smiled at the two who looked familiar.

"Mas Luqman also took pictures" Rose's hand moved to pull the sleeves of his master's shirt. So that the man was attached to the right side of Mama Firda, and the Rose was on his left side.

He tried to point his camera at their faces, then returned with the best smile.

"Ih, why did Luqman put on a tense face anyway?" babble Rose, when seeing the results of his photo.

"Come, repeat again." take the girl.

This time Luqman complied with Rose's request to smile. So that the picture looks much better. It made the rose cheer with joy.

Long enough they took pictures together, until without feeling the time has shown ten o'clock at night.

"It's night, we go to bed first yuk." take Mama Firda.

"Yes, Aunt. Once again, Rose thanked Aunt and Luqman, who had bought many of these things." the eyes of Rose turned to look at the mother and child.

"Remember, Rose. I bought you all this, so you're more excited to change for the better. So, please don't disappoint us."

"Quiet, mas. Roses are not going to be naughty domestic assistants. This phone will only use Rose at certain times."

"Hem, that's good. Now you sleep. If you sleep too late at night, you can wake up again." said Mama Firda.
