Between Guns and Roses

Rivalry

Rosalinda was seen walking into her house while carrying groceries she brought from the market. The atmosphere of his house seemed lonely, but he did not care much about it. Then he walked towards the kitchen to clean up the groceries.

While opening the groceries, Anna suddenly appeared and approached him.

"Hi Miss, just got home?" greet Anna with a smile.

"Yes Miss Anna, the streets are so jammed. So I'm late to go home" replied Rosalinda, keeping the groceries in place.

Anna smiled slightly then approached and crouched down in front of Rosalinda.

"Let me help," he said.

Rosalinda just turned her head for a while then nodded her head in affirming Anna's offer.

"Oiya, Pedro has been home since. He cannot stay here for long because he has to open his cafe" Anna told Pedro about Rosalinda.

"Oh, just now I'm going to ask you about Mr. Pedro," replied Rosalinda.

"Nothing, but I'm going to take her to lunch together this afternoon" he added with a disappointed look.

Anna seemed enthusiastic when she heard Rosalinda wanted to eat together.

"Can I help you cook? I can cook some Indonesian cuisine," he said, offering help.

"No need to bother Miss, I'm used to doing it myself" Rosalinda replied subtly.

Anna looked a little disappointed, but suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Then I'll cook for Antonio, and you'll cook for yourself. How's it?" anna explained her idea.

"No, let me just," answered Rosalinda briefly.

Anna, who was increasingly disappointed because of the rejection, just gathered some food ingredients to cook.

"What are you doing?" Rosalinda asked, frowning, confused by Anna's attitude.

"Miss, no! I'm gonna use that" he said as he watched Anna collect some carrots.

Anna then looked at Rosalinda with a terrible look, a gaze she used to stare at her enemy.

"We're racing to cook for Antonio. Who has the best food, he wins" said Anna coldly.

Rosalinda who felt intimidated by Anna's gaze began to wake up, then she stared intently at the woman before her.

"Come on! Who's afraid?" reply Rosalinda with confidence.

They both then choose the food they will use each, then start the cooking competition without a definite cue.

But without them knowing, it appears Antonio was standing near the kitchen door while carrying a bottle of infusion. He witnessed the feud of two women who tried to attract his attention.

"What are they doing?" slowly muttered.

Then he let out a long sigh and shook his head slowly, then walked into the kitchen slowly.

"Ehem ..." he cleared his throat to attract attention.

The two women looked at him.

"Antonio, what are you doing here?" rosalinda asked the first to notice Antonio's voice.

He approached the man and swept him away.

"Let's help me walk" he said, holding Antonio's left arm.

Anna, who had focused on choosing food, turned to Antonio, who was now being held by Rosalinda.

"What-what are you guys?" sergeant.

"You, rest! Don't move too much!" he said as he approached Antonio.

Antonio's position, which is now flanked by two women, went awry, he did not understand what to do. At first he just wanted to take a walk because his condition had improved, but he did not realize that the two women did not know his condition now. The two women only knew that she still needed treatment and had to rest.

"What are you guys doing? I just want to take a walk" Antonio said as the two women swept him back into the room.

"You don't move too much, your body isn't fully fit yet" Rosalinda replied.

"Follow, follow Miss Doctor's words," said Anna, confirming Rosalinda's words.

"Hm ...." Antonio just muttered softly as he let out a long sigh.

The two women flanking him became excited after hearing Antonio's brief words approving of their actions. They took her to her room and laid her to bed.

"Here you go, shut up!" Anna said in a stern tone to Antonio.

The man was silent, he did not answer or refuse. Not that he is afraid, but does not want to find trouble. After all, the desire of the two of them did not make it difficult at all.

"Wait here, don't go anywhere!" sahut Rosalinda's.

Antonio just took a deep breath, then straightened his body position to lie on the bed.

While the two women who had just wiped it out had returned to the kitchen to continue the pending competition.

"Women are hard to understand, hmm," he murmured.

Meanwhile, at Black Shadow's headquarters, Pablo is seen counting money inside a black suitcase. The payment money from the client he just received thanks to a mission that was successfully executed well by Takagawa and Marcello.

"As usual, I'll give you both a bonus" he said.

Then he took some money, then he handed it to his two best men.

Marcello and Takagawa seemed happy to get bonus money for the results of his hard work. Seen from their smile that expands while counting money.

"Thank you boss" they said.

Pablo simply nodded his head, then closed the suitcase in front of him.

"Takagawa-san, can we talk for a second?" pablo asked Takagawa who looked like he was about to rush out.

The man named Takagawa immediately stopped his steps and turned his body.

"Of course, Mr. Pablo," he replied warmly.

Marcello, feeling unneeded, just walked out of the room feeling happy that he had just received a bonus.

"Takagawa-san, can I go see Kenjiro?" ask Pablo.

Takagawa then sat back down to his chair and sighed for a moment.

"Are you sure you want to see the boss?" reply Takagawa with questions.

"Yes, there's something I want to talk to him about" Pablo replied.

"All right, please wait a minute" Takagawa said.

"I will contact the boss first by a short message, please be patient Mr. Pablo," he said casually without diminishing any respect.

"Please!" pablo replied briefly.

Takagawa, who felt he had permission, grabbed his phone from his pocket. Then he fiddled with the phone for a moment, trying to send a short message to Kenjiro.

While Pablo was just waiting while paying attention to Takagawa's serious-looking expression.

"Hmm," Takagawa muttered softly as he sighed.

"What's wrong?" ask Pablo curiously.

"The boss is not being contacted, but I have already said that you will talk" Takagawa replied slightly disappointed.

Pablo paused for a moment, his mind glaring about something. He was thinking why Kenjiro did not want him to contact, but since the first relationship they are very familiar when becoming a partner in the association.

"Alright, thank you Takagawa-san," Pablo said briefly.

"Together Mr. Pablo," Takagawa replied.

Then he bade his farewell while bowing his body in salute, then walked out of the room to where he rested.

"I have to go straight to him" muttered Pablo, clenching his hands in annoyance.
