Wild Roses For Luqman
2. Starving

"So where are you going to stop, miss?"

"Find me a hostel or a rented house."

"Sorry, miss. I do not know the info for the boarding houses or rented houses."

The girl took a long breath.

"Then, we muter-muter first. To find a rented house or boarding houses." said the girl.

Whether for the last time, the man who was focusing on driving was surprised by the request to abstain the girl next to him.

Even so, he still nodded his head. He did not want the beautiful girl who looked all open was wandering around looking for shelter alone. It could be, because his clothes like that invite the men to tease him.

It was already noon, but neither of them had gotten what they were looking for. Suddenly the girl's stomach rang loudly.

"Are you, really laper? Thirst anyway." he muttered while holding his stomach and esophagus.

The man beside her gave a faint smile seeing that.

"Sir, we stop by the stall for a bit." the girl pointed at a young coconut ice shop and siomay.

In the midst of a hot atmosphere, drinking young coconut ice does feel so refreshing. Especially the snacks siomay warm and spicy. Just imagine, it's already lier.

"All right, miss."

The four-wheeled vehicle finally pulled over. The girl screamed from inside the car to order what she wanted.

While waiting for his order so, he reached into the wallet in his bag.

"Why doesn't my wallet exist?" he started to worry.

The girl went back to rummaging through her bag, but her small wallet was indeed completely absent.

"How am I supposed to survive? If you don't have a penny?"

He snorted in annoyance, with a gaze that looked towards the front. Look listless.

To escape from a brothel is not easy. He had planned it long ago.

He intended to abandon all the bad deeds he had done so far. Especially when he saw one of his friends died of Aids disease. He's getting scared.

There is not a single woman in this world, who wants all her life to be a night butterfly woman. As experienced by a beautiful girl named Rose.

He did not know if it was his real name, or the name given by the woman who helped him.

And in order to repay the woman who helped her, she had to be willing to become a night butterfly.

The entire salary he got, all asked by the woman who helped him. She used to call her Nindi's mother.

Sometimes the customer is kind, giving him extra tip money. That tip money was what he kept for capital escape. But the money was lost somewhere.

"It's non, the order." said the seller while thrusting the Rose order, through the open windshield. Surprised the girl, then scratched her head.

"What's the total, ma'am?" ask the man beside the rose.

"Twenty thousand, mas."

The man reached into his wallet and took out a red sheet, then handed it to the seller.

"Please make it as the message of this lady, another one yes ma'am. Then the rest take it."

"Oh, thank you. Hope the recovery gets better. Success continued for his career." at length the seller prayed for the man who became the driver for the Rose.

"Aamiinu. Thank you for your prayers, ma'am." replied the man, smiling faintly.

"Let's eat. Why just shut up?" the man said to Rose, after the seller had passed, making his order.

"The return is still a lot. What is love in love with others?"

The man smiled again, before answering the Rose question.

"Who said I love you. I'm just a tuck."

"Nattle?" the rose feels strange.

"This, mas. The order." said the seller, handing over the ordered food.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Sama-sama. Oh yeah, can I have his autograph?"

"Of course you can." replied the man kindly, while smiling.

He received a book and a ballpoint pen from the seller's mother. And then put a ballpoint pen on top of the book.

"Well, thank you, sir."

The seller's mother looks sparkling once in her face, as she passes away.

While the Rose seemed to frown again, when he saw it.

"Why did you ask for your autograph?" ask the rose while frowning.

"It's okay. Maybe he's just happy collecting signatures. Let's eat first."

The beautiful hadith nodded her head, and then savored the food she had just bought.

The man shook his head, seeing that the Roses were in too much of a hurry to eat.

"Can you eat it slowly?"

The rose turned towards the man beside her, with a mouth full of food. And slowly nodded his head.
