LEAFY LONGS FLOWERING SILENT
CHAPTER 39: THE STORY OF OMA MARWIYAH

"Mama said it. You will attend High School in Bogor. Point." says

Mamma.

"No. Rosa did not want to. What's so good about studying in Bogor" Rosa never dreamed of studying abroad in the city." As usual, Rosa and her willpower were harsh.

"It's for your future, Cha" Mamah said.

Rosa pouting!

Everything has always been decided without discussion with the concerned. Himself!

"If you really love Rosa, you should support her for High School in Bogor for her future" Papah told Fakih. Fakih could only be silent. Papah Rosa's words have a point. Especially if Rosa does not want High School in Bogor just because for her sake.

It's not fair to Rosa.

She's a brilliant girl. He should have the chance to pursue a career as high as possible. "Cha, which papah elo said is true as well. I don't have the right to stand in the middle of the road, blocking the elo." Fakih then stood up. "Good night. Thanks for the dinner invitation. Goodbye, Rosa." Fakih.

"Wait, Fakih?" Rosa followed Fakih who had arrived at the living room. Feeling ignored, Rosa then held Fakih's arm.

"Strong. I was horrified, why the hell? Until two minutes ago, I did not know that I would continue High School in Bogor. Never wanted to, never thought. All this time I always thought about his High School in Kotabumi. You're not standing in the middle of my path, Kih. If you leave, you take away my dreams." Rosa said sadly.

"Cha, think about it. I don't want one day I, or elo, to wonder, if only that time Rosa continued High School in Bogor? I never will, and I will never make you feel that way. Honestly, I do not like to hear the idea for school in Bogor. Not want at all. Not because of Elo, either. Believe me, I'm pretty stubborn. Elo knows too. If I really want High School in Bogor, no one or anything can prevent me." replied Rosa firmly.

"Cha, this is a good opportunity for you, for your future. I don't want to be a barrier. You can say no regrets now, but later on, I will regret it, for sure. Regretting that a talented person like Elo does not try his best to develop his abilities." Fakih said deeply.

"Why do people always want to decide things for me? Can't I make my own decisions? Do other people, including Elo, know what's best for me?" Answer Rosa.

"In this case, yes. At the moment I can see, the school in Bogor is the best for you. Had I been in the elo position now, I would have taken that opportunity without a second thought. Sorry, Cha. I have to go home now. Thank you for dinner. Good night?" Oma had apparently listened to the conversation just now, as she was right outside the living room.

"Good night, Oma" Fakih said. "It's great to meet Oma. Now I know where Rosa got all the good qualities on her." Genuine praise came out of Fakih's heart through his words.

"Currently,?" Rosa no longer knows what to say. It seems Fakih was already very confident in his decision. Rosa felt like crying.

It's a cry, a curse in the heart. Rosa ran to her room. Fakih looked over at Rosa's running steps. He stared at her until Rosa's shadow disappeared.

"Cha... Ocha...?" Oma knocked on Rosa's room door. Rosa hasn't been out of the room for two hours. From the outside, the lights in his room were still bright. Rosa rubbed her tears that had been flowing continuously without stopping. "There's no harm in opening the door for Oma" he thought.

Still hugging her pretty big Panda doll, half her body, Rosa turned the key to her bedroom door.

As soon as Oma entered, hurriedly locked the door again.

"Well" pity Panda got wet?" oma said she tried to comfort her beloved granddaughter when she saw Niken's face soaked in tears and her tiny lips pouting. From a small if angry Rosa always reddened her lips that are indeed red.

"Oma, I should have known I would get sick like this if I fell in love. It's all my own fault. I'm so stupid." Said Rosa spoiledly to her Oma.

"What Oma knows, Fakih must really love you. He wants to come to your house even though he knows he'll be scolded all out. That means his love for you is more valuable to him than his pride. Something that for a guy' he usually holds very high." Rosa was still silent, thinking carefully about the words Oma had just said. Oma continued, "She was even willing to give up something that was precious to her, her love, for your future. For what he thinks is best for you. So he left it's not because he stopped loving you, but because he really loved you, Ocha. You shouldn't be sad." Continue Oma.

"But Ocha doesn't want to go to school outside the city. Ocha wants to attend High School in Kotabumi. Ocha has also often said the same Oma, right" Papah must also know that all this time listening to what

Rosa say. All this time Rosa tried hard to collect good values. Rosa cannot change course. Papah has always been that." Rosa nagged at length.

"Oma knows. You always said your wish was. Your dad probably doesn't know, because he's never home. Oma's advice, you do what you want. Take the best decision you can, after that, make that decision with all your heart." Oma clear.

"Oma see, Papah and Mamahmu really disagree at this time seeing you and Fakih dating. As long as you are still the same Fakih, your Papah must be trying to release you from him. Maybe the consequences will be fatal. Especially for Fakih. Your papah could have justified any means to separate you and Fakih. You may regret continuing your relationship with Fakih now. Maybe this is the best. Let's see how it will be. Oma promise to help you. You take it easy." Continue to Oma again.

"Oma's promise?" Said Rosa.

"Yes, promise. What is clear is that later Oma will report to your papah that you have broken up with Fakih. So safe conditions are guaranteed first.

Oma doesn't have an idea right now how to help you. But it must be done?"

There's a little relief in Niken's heart. "After all," continued Oma again. "Oma see Fakih loves you so much. That affection could not quickly disappear like being blown by the wind. If it's a match, it'll come back." Continue Oma.

"Ocha also love Fakih. Why is it so hard to be together, love can not unite?" rosa complained.

Oma smiled as she stroked Rosa's hair.

"You want to hear Oma's love story?" Asked Oma, Rosa nodded, interested. "You know that Oma is also the son of a rich man, although not as rich as you are now?"

Rosa's confused. "But Papah said, when Papah was a child, papah had no money, so Papah can succeed as it is today because of the cleft of Opa?"

"Yes. Hold still. Oma hasn't finished the story, has she. It's just getting started. Oma's the son of a rich man in Onion Bones. Opa's Oma's first love. Oma met him when Oma was sixteen. He's Oma's father's rival businessman's son. Because they know they will be banned from dating, especially because at that time people rarely date. Oma had even been betrothed to the son of a wealthy oil tycoon from Way Kanan." Oma's Stories.

"Well" Oma's dating, too, well" Keep on, how's it going?" Rosa was more interested.

"It was a time of war. Five years we've been dating in secret, no one knows. When at one time, the house and factory of Opamu's father who was located next to each other, burned down. Since then, Oma has never heard from Opa again for more than a year. Meanwhile, Oma had already almost married off to the man from the Right Way. Suddenly a month before the wedding, your op showed up at the house. Scrupulous." Oma's Story.

"Then?" ask Rosa.

"Then he proposed to Oma. Of course it's not allowed. Moreover, everyone knows that your Opa is no longer the son of a rich man, because his father was bankrupt because of the fire. Opa mu apparently for a year work squeezing sweat until he can buy a small house on the Onion Bone.

He had only dared to propose to Oma. Oma does not care not condoned parents, tomorrow Oma same Opa married civil records. Because of the incident, Oma did not get any family inheritance rights at all. Oma doesn't care. Oma doesn't need an inheritance." Continue with his classic story.

"Ooh" pantesan Oma insistent not want to sell the house on Onion Bones. It's a historic house, right?" Ask Rosa.

"So you heard for yourself, Oma has also experienced as you are now. Loving but not having. Oma didn't even know your Opa was alive for over a year. But we both love, so we can be together again." The story of Oma opened Rosa's eyes.

Rosa does not believe it turns out Oma this has a fun love story.

"Looking at you now, Cha, Oma was like seeing Oma herself when Oma was young. You must be sure of your own desires. You must have got a way. You can believe the words of Oma. Look Oma. Witnesses live that love exists." Continue Oma.

"Keep the cowo' Way Right how's his fate, Oma?" ask Rosa geli.

"Oh, he didn't really want to marry Oma either. He also had to be married. After Oma married your Opa, she once came home, thanking you." Answer Oma.

"Well, so in the days of people in a mate, Oma had dared to date. Oma must be so naughty?" rosa Goda. "But Oma is great, dating backstreet 3 years is not caught. Oma top deh." said Rosa while giving her thumbs up.

"There are you, Cha." Oma smiled.

"Thank you Oma, Ocha was comforted by the horror of Oma's story. Now Oma must be tired. Oma slept with Ocha tonight. Let the Panda doll sleep on the floor." Rosa Say.

"Kasian, it's wet still sleeping on the floor again. Get in the wind later?" joke Oma.
