Still flashback
After being outside the house, Roses walked towards the park on the right side of his house. The rose walked towards the hole she saw while cleaning the house, looking around to make sure there was no one she then went into the hole, to get out of the yard.
After he was already outside the concrete fence of his house, Rose looked towards the hole beside him. The rose looks for something to cover the hole so that it is not visible to others.
" Yes, Finally after all this time, I was finally able to go to see the nighttime atmosphere outside the house, which I never saw again when I entered elementary school, even though I don't remember much of my childhood." Rose Vows
At that age, Roses were never allowed to go out of their rooms at night, or just to a friend's house to do schoolwork, he was never allowed to go out again after school. Usually Rose will finish all her duties at school before going home, so she often helps with homework with the workers when she does nothing.
Rose had never been invited to dinner outside together with her parents, she was always in living alone, the parents only brought her two younger siblings and not for her after her face turned bad like that, she said, Rose had heard his mother say to his father, if his mother would never take a bad boy like him to dinner outside, because it will only make his mother embarrassed and will be insulted if he has a disabled child like himself.
After feeling everything was in order, carefully and a little nervous he walked looking straight ahead. " Dad, I'm sorry for doing what you guys have forbidden me to do, just this one time I wanted to take a look at the night outside the house, and it won't happen again a second time, I promise." The Rose stared at her house when she was a little away from it.
The little boy walked out of the area of his house which there are only 5 luxury houses. The rose gazed in amazement at the bustling streets, the people doing all sorts of activities, and also with the colorful lights that added to the beautiful scenery before his eyes.
The rose that was happy to come out made him walk wherever he stepped, only this time he would make the best use of this opportunity, because there was no second chance like this anymore. He walked indeterminate directions faithfully staring around him along the way.
Suddenly he stopped his steps, as there were several adults standing before the Rose, who prevented him from stepping. They are street thugs who usually pick on people when walking alone.
" Where is little brother going?, why are you alone?" Ask thugs 1
" It's not good to be alone these nights, a lot of bad guys, you better go with brother, let brother who will take you home." Said thugs 2 taking Roses
" Thank you, I can go home alone, my house is not far from here, just a few meters ahead." Answer the Rose firmly and boldly rejecting their invitation.
He knew that those in front of him were bad people, and had evil intentions towards him, so firmly and boldly rejected them, but it was inversely proportional to his heart that was pounding because it was very afraid at this moment.
Not afraid of being kidnapped by thugs in front of him but he is afraid if caught out without permission and violating the orders of his parents, because the risk is greater than being kidnapped by thugs
If he is kidnapped by the thugs in front of him, his father will be able to find him, but if he is caught by his parents out the night without their permission, he will find himself, even if it was strictly forbidden by both of them, he would be punished by his father by being locked up in the house and would never be allowed out, nor to school. Even worse, if this were to be known by his mother he would gladly drive her out of the house, and put her into the orphanage under very strict guard.
When the thugs heard the answer from the Rose made them very shocked, because it did not hurt if the little boy in front of them was a little girl. They think he's a man, because of the way he dresses, his long hair he puts into his jacket, and his head is also covered by a jacket hat, he also wears thick glasses and wears a mask, he also wears a, so no one thought she was a girl, until she started talking to them.
The thugs who had evil intentions from the beginning would not let go of him easily especially when they found out if he was a girl.
" He must be the son of a rich man, we just kidnap him, and take him quickly from here, if by seduction he doesn't want to, we force him, he's just a little girl, so we can't fight the three of us, and we can ask his parents for a huge ransom." Thugs 1
" Are you stupid?" Ask a thug 3 while hitting the head of a thug 1
" Why did you hit me on the head." Ask goons
"For your brain to think well." Answer thugs 3
" Do you think the rich are gonna give us this big money thug just like you said it was, they will give us predicate and food every day." Continue thugs 3
" Isn't that good for us?" Ask thugs 1 and 2 confused by their friend's remark
" Well, it's good, it's good even for us, we'll be given the title of ex-con and free food in jail every day, and I don't know what we'll experience there." Answer thug 3 to his two friends
" So we better take it to the place where the people who buy the kids, but before that, we'll see if we can sell this kid, you'll see for yourself, if he's dressed like a kidnapper instead of the three of us." Say thugs 3 more
The three of them also noticed the appearance of the Rose, which was more like a kidnapper than the three of them, the difference was that the Rose had a small body. The clothes he wears from head to toe are all black only glasses are not.
The 2 thug who was in front of him pulled the mask also took off the jacket hat from his head, and the dreadful face of the Rose appeared in their presence. They were shocked to see the condition of the Rose's face on the left is not as smooth as the right. The face has almost all burns.
" If this is the case, no one will want to take it for free." Say the thugs
" We'd better take it to the other children's shelter, we can make him a beggar, it matches his deformed face." Thugs 2
Roses cannot escape from them, because both hands are being held by thugs 3. When he was about to be taken by them, he rebelled and cried out for help, for there was no way he would remain silent when he would be made a beggar while he still had a complete family, and also very rich.
When Rose was resigned to his condition, suddenly someone hit the thug who was holding both hands from the back of his head, the thug immediately fell unconscious behind him. Rose turned around and saw a man about 40 years old standing beside the body of the fallen thug.
The man smiled at her and quickly pulled the Rose's hand and carried her to the back of the man's body. The man came forward against the two thugs who had come forward to fight him, when they saw their friend being knocked unconscious by an unknown person. It was not until ten minutes that the two men were knocked unconscious after their friend. The rose was amazed by the fight in front of him, which was only finished in a few minutes.
" Are you okay." Ask the man to the rose
" I'm fine, thanks for helping me." Rose Vows
The man took the Rose away from there, and brought the Rose to a shop by the roadside away from where the thugs had fainted. After they reached the tavern, the man ordered food for the two of them, after they finished eating and Rose thanked the man. The man began his conversation with the rose.
" Why are you out there all alone at night?" Ask the man
" I was just walking around sir, and accidentally met those bad guys." Answer the Rose
" It's not good, little boy all night alone outside, what else are you a girl, thankfully you went through there and saw your you, so that it can help, if you didn't pass there earlier, you didn't pass there, you must have been kidnapped." Said the man
" That's why I thank you again for helping me." Rose Vows
" I'm sorry sir, can I ask you something more please?" Ask the Rose
" What is that?, if you can help, you will." Answer the man
" Can you teach me to fight like you did with those thugs?" Ask the Rose
" Do you mean martial arts?, Why do you want to learn martial arts?, you know if learning to martial arts for women can make the body sick, let alone you are still a child, and also a woman." Said the man to Rose, looking at his face without pity or disgust for him, only a worried face for the man.
" To protect myself sir, if it could be anyone else, for something like this to happen again I could protect myself." Rose Vows
After thinking for a moment finally the man who has known his name sir Iman will help Rose teach him martial arts. Roses also told the condition to Mr. Iman, if he could not study with the other disciples of Mr. Iman. Mr. Iman also had some disciples that he taught besides Roses.
After telling all the conditions and some small requests to Mr. Faith, finally Mr. Iman agreed to teach the Rose at night only, for one and a half hours, for one and a half, he would pick up the Roses at the shop they were in now every day.
He will be picked up and escorted back to the tavern until he can take care of himself. The rose was picked up at the tavern because she did not know that she was the daughter of the Austin family. He said the shop was not far from his home. He does not tell his true condition to the faith but recounts his condition by interspersed with a little lie to the pack of Faith.
Such was the first meeting between the Rose and Mr. Faith who became his martial teacher every night. Every night after all the people in his house went into their rooms he would quietly go out of the house to meet Mr. Iman in the tavern to learn martial arts from him.
End Flashback
Return now to the Rose who is walking towards her friend's house. Roses coolly walk while humming cheerfully, also happy because they can save people. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name.
" Roses!!!!" Lili and Gita shouted loudly simultaneously in the middle of the silent night. The sound of their loud screams with a slight tone of worry and also mixed with annoyance made the Roses shocked not to play, because with the quiet state, their voices could have disturbed others who had rested. " Campus me, can be lectured until the morning." In the Rose's heart when she saw them running over to her
" Can't you two just yell quietly?, you don't know if the sound of you two is like the cry of a person who is protesting can wake up people who are already in their dreams?" Ask Rose to her two best friends who are already in front of her with breath up and down because they ran towards her when they both saw the Rose from afar
" The story of the eye if it yells should be slow, the slow one whispers instead of yelling." Said Lili who still had time to protest at the Rose speech after taking a deep breath
" All right, let it be, it doesn't matter, the most important thing now is that we've found you." Gita
" Where have you been?, Don't you know if we're so worried about you?, we've both been looking for you everywhere, we both didn't find you in the mini market that you were supposed to go to, we were both afraid that if someone kidnapped you, we almost reported to the police that you were kidnapped, where are you really?" Ask Lili at length on the Rose. So worried she was on the Rose to make him look like mothers who nag their daughters who are late to go home.
" Looking at you two like this, how can I tell you that I've been fighting with some men, sorry I haven't been able to tell you both if I can be a martial artist, I still want to feel protected by the two of you that I already consider to be my own brother." The Rose in her heart looked at the two of them in front of her
