No Rose Without A Thorn's

Investigate each other

Keira returned to work as usual. He tried to follow his mother's words, forgetting about Evan and Zea's problems.

When Keira tries to return to normal life, without her realizing it, the people related to her life begin to investigate each other.

Ny Lestari had already ordered someone to observe Evan and Nada.

Evan continues to investigate Keira's younger brother.

Baskoro found out about Nada who had been with Evan.

Only Kusuma who has not realized that there has been a movement around him, he was busy finding out the delay in investment from the Oshi Group because it was this afternoon he ordered Keira to immediately meet the CEO of the Oshi Group.

When all parties first try to find the weakness of the other party, someone who is not counted also begins the investigation.

"So, how much does Bibi need for that operation?" Dizza took off her sunglasses, looking at the old woman sitting in fear before her.

"Sorry Miss I don't know anything...."

Dizza looked at Aunt Sarti's face. After circling here and there, he finally found one of the workers in his father's old house.

Dizza did not know anyone who worked in their old house because when he returned to Indonesia, his father had replaced all workers except Om Vick, Kusuma's assistant.

"Auntie doubts me?" ask Dizza.

Aunt Sarti shook her head quickly. He had only met his master's son once. He did not even remember clearly his face, he could not forget the face of Kusuma's stepson, Keira.

Bibi Sarti had been working in the house for a long time, long before Ayuni chose to live in Singapore and eventually died giving birth to Dizza. He and all other employees were dismissed by Kusuma after Lestari stayed there.

"Auntie knows my real mother, right?"

Aunt Sarti squeezed her skirt, confused.

"Ah, I know, Auntie's afraid I'm lying, right? I really am Dizza, the son of Ayuni and Kusuma." Dizza took out a photograph.

Photos of him with Kusuma, Lestari and Keira. Aunt Sarti took the photo and observed Dizza's face. An upset Dizza finally pulled out her identity card for the woman to believe him

.

"Now, tell me what Auntie knows about my family."

"Is that girl okay?" Aunt Sarti returned a photo of Dizzah.

"Who does Aunt mean?"

Aunt Sarti pursed her lips back.

"Sorry Miss, I don't understand what Miss is looking for. All I know is that Mr. Kusuma married a one-child woman, shortly after which we were all dismissed."

"Who stopped you?What's mom?"

"Your mother is dead, miss.."

"I mean my mother's with me..." Dizza looked at Aunt Sarti's face. The woman slowly shook her head.

"The woman Mr. Kusuma married almost never met us. She's not the kind of boss, not the same as the other woman..."

"The other woman?" Dizza's eyes are round.

Aunt Sarti patted her eel.

"I'm sorry Miss. I'm wrong to talk."

"Who is that woman?"

"I don't know."

Dizzah ran out of patience

.

"Aunty's son is being treated at Kasih Ibu Hospital, right?"

Dizza took her phone and called someone.

"Find the accident patient at Kasih Ibu Hospital named Rania. Send people to unplug all her breathing apparatus..."

"My lady please don't do that!" Aunt Sarti cried out in panic, Dizza looked at the woman without feeling guilty.

"Pick tell it or..."

"Well, what do you want to ask, miss..."

Aunt Sarti was crying, Dizza hung up.

"Why did my mother and half-sister follow me abroad, and why did you choose to move?"

"I don't know why you did that, Miss. I really don't know..."

"Who's the woman that Aunt mentioned earlier?"

"I don't know his name. She came when your stepmother moved into that house. He had cursed us and told us that since Ny Ayuni died she was the Madam in the house. Then Mr. Kusuma came and they had a fight. I never saw him again."

"Hm, you have another wife?"

"I dare not conclude, Miss.."

"Do you not know either mother or

my half-sister?"

"I've said, Mrs Lestari rarely met us, and her daughter never even asked us for help. He always looks moody."

"Until now it also often looks moody..." Dizza unconsciously grumbled.

"really? Too bad..."Aunt Sarti looked up, recalling the often daydreaming Keira.

"It must have been a terrible event..."

"What incident?"

Aunt Sarti looked at Dizzas face.

"Please promise me you won't take my name with you. Your father did everything he could to close the case, including firing us all."

Dizza started to get goosebumps, "Did something happen?"

Aunt Sarti nodded then she began to recount the events of 13 years ago that she knew. Dizzah covered his mouth with his hands.

**

Keira waited anxiously for Ms. Leah. He came five minutes early and now ten minutes have passed, the leader of the Oshi Group has not arrived.

Keira tries to sit quietly, reading the sign on Ny Leah's desk. Leah Wardana's. Keira did not even know the family silsiah wardana who supposedly said they all lived abroad.

"Sorry for my delay..." Suddenly a woman came into the room and sat in front of Keira.

A woman who was older than her mother, was not beautiful, yet had a warm and friendly face.

Keira tried to smile, the woman looked at Keira with her friendly smile.

"Hm, right people say, Mr. Kusuma has a beautiful daughter. You're the oldest, right?"

Keira nodded, feeling no need to explain that she was not Kusuma's biological daughter.

"That means you're not her real daughter, are you?" ask the woman again.

"Don't look at me like that, in our ordinary world, you know this kind of information..."

Keira did not answer, she began to dislike the woman in front of her.

"I'm asking you not to discuss your family status..."

Keira tries to be patient in order to remember that this woman in front of him has an important role for the construction of the new hotel Kusuma.

"You know, that our company was going to invest a huge amount of money into that hotel."

"We are very grateful for the cooperation you provide" said Keira humbled.

"Well, that's the problem..." Ms. Leah put her tea cup on the table then stood up.

"Suddenly one of the shareholders did not want to sign the deal!"

Keira looked at Ny Leah in confusion.

"You certainly didn't come here to hear bad news, did you?" Miss Leah looked at Keira. His gaze was still friendly but made Keira want to look away.

"I can't imagine what would happen if our company failed to agree to it.ccckk" Ms. Leah paced back and forth in the room.

"Can you imagine it?" ask Keira.

Keira felt that the woman was starting to threaten her.

"I'm sorry Madam, can you explain in more detail what you mean to see me?" Keira ventured to ask. Ms. Leah looked at Keira in silence then laughed.

"Oh yeah, haven't I explained it yet?" Miss Leah asked back.

"My son did not approve of the cooperation!"

"He's willing to give his approval if you're the one who met him and gave your explanation as to why he should agree."

"I?" Keira asked in wonder.

"Didn't your boss agree to it?" ask Keira wonder.

"I agree. But he didn't. The stock is just a little below me. If he doesn't agree, then the company can't give his approval..."

Ms. Leah sat back down.

"After all, he's my son. If you can't convince her to agree, then I can change my mind." Ms. Leah leaned her body on the sofa.

Keira started to panic.

"All right, I'll talk to him."

"Yes, you need to talk to him ." Ms. Leah glanced at her watch.

"He should have come... "

"I'm sorry I'm late."

The door opened abruptly making Miss Leah and Keira turn at the same time.

"MOM?!" Keira stood up in shock.

Ms. Leah smiled.

"Include Oshi Group co-leader Evanders Pranata Wardana."

*

Keira remained motionless as Kusuma asked about the outcome of his meeting with the Oshi Group.

"Keira, tell me what they want."

Keira looked at Kusuma's face and then rewound his meeting with Evan.

Evan with his sweet smile sat in front of Keira who was still in shock. Leah leaves them both and confirms to Keira that the fate of the hotel is in Evan's hands.

"What do you want?" Keira asked ketus.

"Hm, isn't your tone too high for a plea?"

"I'm not begging!"

"Oh, huh? Then why are you here?" ask Evan.

Keira stood up and picked up her bag, preparing to leave.

"Hey, didn't your dad teach you how to meet business associates?" ask Evan.

"A good businessman will not act rashly just because of personal problems."

Keira looked at Evan who told her to sit down.

"You must know what happens if you go home empty-handed. Kusuma will kick you soon, the useless child he grew up with in vain." While saying that Evan clenched his hand.

"He'll kill you if he sees you!" said Keira sharply. Evan laughs.

"He's not going to kill his investors, instead he might kill you, your mother, and your missing sister."

"Why do you keep talking about my sister?!"

"You might not mind dying. Would you like your mother to die? or are you willing to die before you meet your sister?"

"What do you know about my sister?!"

"Your sister is alive!"

Keira looked at Evan sharply.

"Don't use my sister who doesn't exist!"

"Your sister is still there!"

Evan whistled, "Then why are you still looking for the dead?"

"What do you want?"

"I'll tell you where your sister is."

"I don't trust you!"

"Then do you believe this?" Evan pulled out a necklace.

Keira jerks.

"Where did you find him?! Don't play me!"

Evan laughs.

"If you follow my words, you will meet your sister. First, do not tell Kusuma that I am the son of the leader of the Oshi Group. Second, meet me tonight. Tell your father that Ms. Leah invited you to dinner to discuss further this useless investment!"

"I'll tell dad that you're alive!"

"Please. Ms. Leah will cancel the cooperation. Your father will go bankrupt slowly because the hotel will drag him into the brink of collapse if we don't invest. You and your mother will be blamed. You'll die before you meet your sister. Or..."

Evan approaches Keira, kneeling next to Keira.

"Or your father gave you a chance to live to see your sister die!"
