Blue Roses For Novia
Short Story Ahmadun Y Herfanda
AIR as frozen Adelweis Room, an inpatient rooms, in Fatmawati Hospital, South Jakarta. And, in an all-white bed, Novia lay frozen in time is also frozen. He did not dare to count how many times the clock in the room past the number twelve, perilously close to death who would pick him up.
Doctors had predicted she was staying about a month due to acute leukemia, and the only thing he had been waiting from him is a blue rose. Yes, the blue rose. Not a red rose or white. And, just a flower, not a bundle or basket.
But, is there any blue roses? The lover, Norhuda, actually not sure. He had seen was a red rose, white, or yellow. All three grow and bloom heavily in his yard. But blue roses? He was not sure. Blue flowers he had seen only the moon orchids and carnations. And that's not exactly blue, but purple.
"Are you sure there are blue roses, sweetheart?"
"I'm sure. I've seen it. "

 
"Not in a dream?"

  
"It's not. In a park. But, I forgot to park it. The feeling in Jakarta. "
Norhuda silent. Doubt radiated from his eyes, and was captured by Novia.

 
"Look, honey. Do not hesitate. That's all I begged you, as a last request. Look with love. "Novia assured.
So, with love, leave Norhuda looking blue rose lover's request. He went straight to the city parks, and scour all corners. Not find it there, he also scour all the parks belong to the sellers of ornamental plants and flower shop. In fact, he was also in and out of villages and subdivisions as well as real estate, examining every yard and gardens there. For days he wondered around, looking for blue roses.

 
"Roses are blue there where ya? I needed it! "He said to a student IPB, man thickened.

 
"Ah, it's been you. You'll get to the end of the baseball world is going there. "

 
"But, Novia ever seen."

 
"Paper Flowers time!"

 
"Do not joke! This is serious. Age he stayed two weeks. Only a rose blue he asked me to take off. "

 
"If it was not supposed to say something?"
Norhuda limp hear it. He was aware, anyone will not be able to find something that does not exist, unless God suddenly created. But how he had to convince Novia that rose it does not exist, except in dreams. It could be he is seen only in dreams?
