Mawar di Luar Pagar (Roses Outside the Fence)

Sekuntum bunga mawar mekar di luar pagar. Warnanya yang merah mengundang perhatian setiap pasang mata. Meski mekar di luar pagar, tapi mawar itu bukan bunga di tepi jalan. Barangkali mawar itu ingin menikmati udara di luar pagar, atau barangkali mawar itu ingin menyapa orang-orang melintas di depan pagar.

A rose blossomed outside the fence. The red color invites the attention of each pair of eyes. Though blooming outside the fence, but the rose is not a flower on the side of the road. Perhaps the rose wants to enjoy the air outside the fence, or perhaps the rose wants to greet people passing in front of the fence.

Ya, kudengar mawar itu menyapa dan memanggilku dengan bahasa bunga.

Yes, I heard the roses say hello and call me in flower language.
