No Rose Without A Thorn's

Ember Love

Keira stopped her car on the side of the road. His mind is completely fucked. He doubted that his sister had actually died in the fire, instead he recalled a wound on the nape of Nada that was similar to Zea's wound. Then he remembered the threat of Evan and how familiar Nada called Evan at that time.

His mind also floated as Dizza struggled on Evan's arm. Keira began to feel dizzy, besides that because she was tired of thinking about all the unsolved problems, she also had a day of not eating. Suddenly the windshield of his car was knocked, Keira turned her head and exclaimed in shock.

"W-You?!"

Evan looked at Keira then impatiently instructed Keira to lower the window.

"You following me?" ask Keira.

"You need to get down and get in my car. We need to talk!" said Evan again. Keira refused firmly.

"No way!"

"Why? Scared?" ask Evan.

Keira did not answer, he immediately lifted the car glass, but late, Evan first put his hand in and took the car keys. Then with one move he threw Keira's car keys into the sea. Keira looked at him in disbelief.

"You?"

"We need to talk!" This time Evan opens the door and pulls Keira forcibly. Not caring about Keira's dragged steps, he throws Keira sitting in his car seat.

Keira held her wrist which hurt.

"Why do we always have to talk?" ask Keira.

"Why can't we talk?" Evan asked back.

"When you haven't seen each other for a long time, you've really become Kusuma's daughter. Are you really becoming the same as them?"

"We're not supposed to talk anymore!"

Evan brakes his car suddenly until they both almost hit the dashboard.

"Why?Is it because I'm the mistress' daughter?"

Keira did not answer, she squeezed the end of her skirt.

"Remember, you killed my mother!"

"Your mother killed herself, " answered Keira firmly.

Evan stared at the road and started driving his car.

Keira was terrified.

"What do you want to talk about?Don't act like this, it'll harm both of us!" Keira yells.

"Sometimes I feel that it's better if we both die. We don't need to feel this kind of life ...."

"Stooooops! Stopit! I've been feeling dead for thirteen years!"

"I don't feel like you're a dead man! You're the one having fun on the dead man's corpse!"

"Stop!"Keira begged

"Stop! Give me some time to find my sister then you can kill me if that's what you want!"

Evan braked suddenly. Keira looked very emotional, she looked at Evan.

"Why don't you live in the seclusion that father gave you? Why don't you stop teasing the past and live a normal life?" asked Keira gasping.

Evan grabbed Keira's shoulder.

"Why should I live like a coward?"

"You ...." Keira cries, powerless to reveal what happened 13 years ago.

"What are you hiding?" evan asked suspiciously. Keira shakes. A flash of bitter memories 13 years ago swirled in his head, Keira suddenly screamed.

"Take off, let go of me!"

Evan looked at Keira in surprise, he let go of his grip and let Keira catch her breath.

"Please, stop like this, " said Keira again. Evan prepares to start the car again but Keira holds her hand.

"I'm gonna puke."

Evan stood beside Keira who was completely vomiting. They're on the side of the road. Keira looked very pale, she vomited several times, her eyes water and she could not stand up straight. Evan was forced to help her walk back into the car.

"Are you okay?" ask Evan.

Keira shook her head, her forehead started to sweat. Evan looked at Keira with pity but he was proud to do something, so he let Keira lean on helplessly.

"What do you want to talk about?" asked Keira weakly.

Evan had wanted to talk about Keira's sister, but seeing Keira's condition he put her away.

"I don't like talking to sick people!"

Then he drove the car, returning Keira to where she was.

Evan pulls out Keira's car keys which he turns out not to throw away.

"Will we talk next time?" Evan said as he threw the key into Keira's lap. Keira did not reply, her head too heavy to respond to Evan. He took the key, opened the door and walked towards his car.

Evan looked at Keira who was stumbling from the car. But not yet open the car, Keira fell. Evan almost got out of the car to help Keira when he saw some people who passed first to help Keira. The men immediately let Keira go.

Bara pacing back and forth in the hospital room. He was upset that after Keira left without a message he was instead told that his fiancee had fainted on the streets.

"You're sober?"

He immediately approached Keira and held her hand.

"Are you okay?"

Keira nodded, "I'm fine."

He looked around the room and realized that they were in a small hospital room, which meant that he was still in the suburbs, where Zea orphanage was located. Keira tried to calm down even though her heart was agitated.

"Who brought me here?" tanyanya's worried.

I straightened Keira's hair.

"The people who saw you fell on the street. One of the doctors here is a friend of mine we invited at the engagement. He called me."

"You called mom or dad?"

Bara. "I have to make sure of your condition before I tell them."

Keira sighed in relief, Bara saw it. "You don't want them to know, do you?" bara asked, Keira nodded.

Bara sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Keira.

"Okay, I won't tell them. But you promise, after you get out of this hospital, tell me everything that caused you to go missing without a message."

Keira blinked one eye, Bara smiled and lay down next to Keira.

"The doctor says you're just tired and late to eat. Actually, tomorrow the doctor will let you go home" Bara said, then he looked at Keira, who was waiting for her to continue.

"But how is this? I took three days off from the office." Bara sighing.

"Hmm, then?" Keira asked half sleepy.

"Then after tomorrow you're out of the hospital, I'll get you back to normal. It's a shame to have a fiancee who's short of food."

Keira laughed, "Then what are your plans?"

"We stay here until my cut time runs out. I'm gonna call your dad and tell him we're on vacation. How's it?"

Keira who was completely sleepy replied with origin.

"Yes, do it according to your plan."

Keira immediately turned to the dream world. He meets Zea and Evan. They walk together. Keira smiled in her sleep, Bara looked at Keira's face affectionately.

I will never leave you. Bara promised in his heart and kissed Keira on the forehead.

Keira was discharged from the hospital, but as Bara said, they did not go home. Bara takes Keira to the hotel to rest.

"Hmm, I think we're going somewhere nice" Keira said disappointedly.

"You should take your medicine and rest, after that we'll go out. Well, even if it's more fun to be here for me." Bara turned his head and was about to kiss Keira but the girl turned her back away.

"I'm sorry Mr. Bara, I'm still a patient" Keira said, clenching her hands together in her chest. Bara laughed, Keira threw her body on the sofa.

Keira looked at Bara who was swiftly preparing medicine and drinking water.

"Please drink, princess," Bara offered medicine and a glass of water.

Keira laughed and drank. Bara swiftly took the empty glass and placed it on the table and sat down next to Keira.

"You getting sleepy?" ask Bara.

"Hm. "Keira answered lazily.

"Sleep on the bed, I'll go so as not to disturb," Bara will stand but Keira holds her hand.

"Don't go, just here," Keira's pinta forced Bara back into her seat, then she leaned her head on Bara's shoulder.

"I'll just sleep here" Keira closed her eyes. Bara looked at Keira's face and pulled her phone to take a photo of the two of them. Bara smiled happily looking at the results of his photo.

"Are you happy?" bara asked as they enjoyed a bowl of ice cream.

Keira nodded. Since yesterday they went to various entertainment venues, trying various games and culinary.

They were at a distance of more than a hundred km from home, turning off their cell phones until no family or office people disturbed them. Although not really trying all the games - because for a while Keira should not be too tired - Keira felt a little amused. For a moment he forgot about Zea, Evan, and his mother's past which still holds a mystery.

"Keira, promise me one thing." I looked at Keira seriously.

"Don't keep your problems alone. I'll try not to ask anything if you don't tell me, '" Bara held Keira's hand.

"but please, if you can't stand it alone, tell me everything."

Keira was very touched. He knew that Bara had always looked after him, always there for him, but somehow he could not tell everything to Bara.

"Bara, I ...."

Bara stopped Keira's words by kissing her lips. Keira remained silent.

"Don't say anything" Bara whispered. Keira closed her eyes and let Bara kiss her again.

While it was not far from them sitting, someone was observing them while clenching their hands.

So fast are you living happily?
