time ago, there's a couple who live together. to support their life, the guy works as a gardener and the girl will sell all the flowers at the market.
as time goes by, their love has lost the sparks and bcme dry. the difficulties of life has made the guy bcme more busy with work, and this has set their heart apart. they fought almost everyday, and the girl knew that their relationship has taken its toll. so one day she faced the guy asking for a breakup.
hearing this, the guy did not apologized, neither any expression of regret showing in his face. instead, he's asking for one more week to be with her, and if she's still holding on to her wish by the end of the week, he will let her go. thinking that time sometimes can pass like a blink of an eye, she accepted the deal.
on the first day, the guy bought the girl to the open land, the place where he works. There, he ask the girl to take one seed of rose and plant it into the earth. and she did.
the next few day, the guy bought the girl to the open land again. the girl watched the flower has started to developed.
on the 6th day of the week, again, the guy has took the girl to the open land. at that day, the rose has fully developed. the leaves has started to come out with a lot of beautiful petals around the stem. too delighted with this, the girl spend all day long sitting beside the flowers. cherishing its beauty the whole day.
today is the 7th day. which will mean the last day they will spend their last moment of relationship together. and like the day before, they went to the place where they've grw the flower.
as soon as they reached there, the guy went to the flower and pull off all the leaves. then he cut all the petals, leaving the rose with only its stem. the wind started to blew strongly then, and hit the flower, making it almost fall to the earth, except theres one branch of it thats holding it from falling down.
curious, confused and frustrated with this, the girl asked the guy, why the hell did you do that? the guy came next to her, kissed her and explained:
"time will come that the flower will lose the leaf. will lose the petals. will lose all the beauties. and when everything has started to lost, nobody wud ever remember how beautiful it was before. nobody wud ever care to fix it. hold on to what we have. be grateful that we still have each other. cuz not every couples in the world has the chance to do what we've done. not every lovers got what we've got.
'you'll always be the flower, the best of flower, the rose. and when you bcme dry and lost, and suddenly the strong wind blow and trying to hit you down. just remember, that im here to support you. i wont ever let you fall. even if im just a small branch of your life, syahira" :)
