Wild Roses For Luqman
38. Mama's sick

After the lunch, Farida went home with her father. Both will return to the office. As for Luqman, he will deliver the Roses home. Eventually the two groups separated, after shaking hands with each other.

In the car, Mr. Burhan immediately railed against his daughter with questions. Because he could not hold back his curiosity.

"Farida. Are you sure, if the Rose is really her housekeeper, Luqman?"

"why, pa?" Farida looked at her papa for a moment.

"Where is a housekeeper as beautiful and sexy as she is? But, if he says brother, his papa Luqman used to tell papa, if he doesn't have any close relatives."

Farida looked back at the road in front of her, breathing for a moment.

"Farida knows less, too, pa. Because we just met for the first time. Pa, if I may ask, you better not be impressed to bring Farida closer to Luqman mas."

"Why?" now Mr. Burhan is staring at his only daughter.

"Yes, Farida doesn't like it."

Mr. Burhan raised the corner of his lips while smiling smirk. There was something strange about her daughter.

When she first met Luqman, she showed her admiration. But now, after the Roses, he just looks not confident.

"Are you scared, outmatched by her maid Luqman?"

"No, who said?" refute Farida firmly.

"Remember baby! If you love him, you have to fight. Like Siti Khodijah who expressed her feelings for the Prophet first. And you need to remember too, papa and his father Luqman, have already betrothed you. If you really like him, we'll go to his house to say that."

"Don't, pa." reject Farida.

"Why? Don't torture your heart like that, baby."

Farida leaned her back on the steering wheel, then inhaled a deep breath. For a moment he thought about his father's words.

The man was his first love. No other man could make his heart go down like this.

But when there are other women who are more beautiful than him and always at all times always be near him, make him insecure as well.

But back again, his heart felt in disbelief, if he who incidentally is a Muslim girl graduated abroad, could be lost by an ordinary girl who only holds the title as a domestic assistant.

"Farida doesn't need to rush, pa. Lagian Farida believes, it is impossible for a child who is a graduate abroad, can lose to a domestic assistant.

Farida was convinced, Mas Luqman was just a sense of empathy for Roses. Because the girl has no family.

Wouldn't someone who was famous, definitely be looking for a wife who was worth it?"

"Hem, that's good. Papa likes the optimism you show. Papa also believes, over time if you meet often, surely Luqman will slowly open his heart to you and will love you. Moreover, papa always helps her."

Mr. Burhan and Farida looked at each other, then smiled triumphantly. As if convinced, if everything will go according to the wishes of his heart. Nothing goes without the Ridha of God.

While in Luqman's car, occasionally it seems the two exchanged stories. Then the ringing of Luqman's cell phone distracted both of them.

"Rose, please get me a cell phone in my bag." asked Luqman, because he had trouble picking up his phone.

"Ready, mas." The girl immediately did her master's request, then handed the flat object to him.

"Thank you." Luqman said to Rose, then he shifted the green button on the phone screen.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, son. This is mama not feeling well. Please buy mama the usual drug in the pharmacy."

"Good, ma. Luqman will be home soon and bring some medicine for mama."

"Yes, thank you, baby. Be careful with the car. Mama hang up, assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam, ma."

Luqman put the phone in his pocket. Then drive the car faster to the nearest pharmacy.

"Mas, what's going on?" Rose was curious about what her two employers were talking about over a phone call.

"Mom hurts, Rose."

"Tante Firda is sick?"

"Maybe the stomach acid's rising."

Shortly after, the car they were riding in stopped in front of the pharmacy.

"What's the drug name, mas? Let the rose buy."

"No need, Rose. Let me buy it." Luqman got out of the car, followed by the rose.

The girl wanted to know, what kind of medicine was purchased by her employer. At times when Mama Firda's disease relapses, he can immediately buy it.

After getting the medicine requested, Luqman returned to drive his car to his residence.

Tal a long time ago, finally the car they drive has arrived in front of the house. The rose immediately got out of the car, and opened the gate.

When the first Rose worked, there was a security there. But he was allowed to go back to the village, to take care of his sick wife.

Luqman's car stopped at the carport. Then he and Roses went hand in hand to the room of Mama Firda who was on the top floor.

"How are things, mama?" asked Luqman, while sitting down and checking his mother's condition.

He put his palm on his mother's forehead. While the Rose, massaging his master's feet slowly.

"It's just a little bad. That's why my mom called you to buy me some medicine."

"Mama, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." mama Firda shook her head.

"Rose to make porridge first for, Auntie ya."

Without waiting for approval, the girl exited the room and walked towards the kitchen, to make food for her employer.

Patently, he prepared everything, then started cooking.

After nearly thirty minutes, his artificial marrow porridge was ready. Soon the rose took her to the room.

"Tante, this is the porridge to eat first" said the girl, scooping a little porridge, and bringing it closer to her master.

Luqman was happy and calm, as there were those who paid attention to his mother like that. Until he smiles.
