Mawar Jingga

(title translation: Orange Rose)

Sudarko, a tenacious and stubborn widower, finally manages to become a successful businessman although he suffers from liver disease. His son, Nagara, also has this difficult nature. He refuses to become a businessman and opts to become an artist. Without his father’s support, he is able to study in Paris. On the other hand, Sudarko’s daughter, Andina, is a gentle person. She cannot resist her father’s wish for an arranged marriage with Dr. Budi, the son of Sudarman, his best friend and a specialist who had treated Sudarko in the war era. Apparently, Budi is selfish and a womanizer. Meanwhile, Andina meets Heru Erlangga, a pilot and widower with one child who lives near Sudarko’s villa. Heru coincidentally meets Nagara in Paris and he entrusts him a letter and a painting of orange roses for Andina. Sudarko doesn’t approve of Andina and Heru’s relationship. But when Budi’s responsibility for Lina’s pregnancy is discovered, Andina breaks up with him. Then Sudarko arranges a meeting between Andina and Heru. He also goes to Paris but he dies just when Nagara is on a plane to Jakarta.
