No Rose Without A Thorn's

First Ruckus

Kusuma clenched his hand.

"Baskoro, this must be Baskoro!"

He screams in anger.

Mrs Lestari paced back and forth restlessly.

"Did they kidnap Dizsa and Keira?!"

Kusuma.

"Keira is not with them. She's with Ms. Leah."

"Who is Miss Leah? Why didn't he come home?"

"Ny Leah's one of the investors, Keira must be fine."

"How can you be sure?? Keira and Dizza both did not return home and could not be reached..."

"Why should I worry about Keira? He's an adult, after all he's on a business trip."

"But why can't he be contacted?Can't you call Ms Leah?"

"You crazy? He could be offended."

Ms. Kusuma was disappointed, even though her husband was right, but she had a hunch that Keira was not doing well. Phone's ringing. Kusuma picked up his phone immediately.

Ms. Lestari tried to listen to the conversation on the phone, but she did not understand it.

"Ny Leah will come to the office to sign the investment agreement." Kusuma spoke to himself. There was a hint of wonder in his words.

"Then where is Keira?"

"He didn't say anything. He said Keira came home with her son."

"Went home with her son?" Ms. Lestari repeated her husband's words in surprise.

"Where are they from until the journey home takes 2 days?" Mrs Lestari looked agitated.

"Sorry Madam, Mister, Mr. Bara is waiting outside." A servant told Bara's presence.

Mrs Lestari hastily left Kusuma.

"Tante, can Keira be contacted?"

Ny Lestari shakes her head.

"Do we have to report to the police?"

"Don't." Mr. Kusuma shouted out loud.

Suddenly his phone rings again.

"good. Take it home, don't go to the hospital!" Kusuma answered briefly.

"Dizza has been found."

"How is he doing?" Mrs Lestari asked worriedly.

"There's a little bruising. They're gonna take Dizza home."

Bara and Ny Lestari look restless.

"Om, Aunt and Keira....."

Mr. Kusuma raised his hand.

"I'm gonna go see Ms. Leah and find out."

They ended up just waiting nervously, shortly after Dizza returned home accompanied by Kusuma's men. Dizza's lips were bleeding, his face was dull, his hands were bruised.

"Dizza...." Mrs Lestari immediately checked on Dizza's condition.

"I'm fine, Mom. Where's Brother?"

"Keira hasn't come home yet."

Dizzie looked worried.

"Dad not looking for brother?"

"Your brother's fine."

"How did you know?" Dizzah shouted furiously.

"Who kidnapped you?" ask Dad.

"She's just back, can't you interrogate her after she's healthy?" Mrs Lestari looks angry.

"I'm fine Mom. I don't know who they are..."

"How did you escape?" ask Bara.

"Let's see, they just kind of let me go on purpose. Did they ask for a ransom?"

Kusuma. He looked worried, and so did Lestari. Someone who kidnaps without asking for ransom is definitely more dangerous.

"It's a threat." Kusuma.

"Who's Om?" Bara wants to know but Kusuma and Lestari are reluctant to reveal their personal problems to Bara.

"Let's go to the room..." Mrs Lestari holds the Dizza.

"Sister!" Dizzie suddenly shouted. He immediately ran over to Keira who walked into the house in shaky steps.

"Are you okay?" Keira asked frantically looking at the messy Dizza.

"Where have you been?" ask Mr. Kusuma.

"Keira, where have you been?What's going on?" Mrs Lestari asked worriedly.

"Your sister's been kidnapped. Where have you been?" Tanya Tuan Kusuma half snapped.

Keira looked at Mr. Kusuma, "Dad asked me to meet the Oshi Group, right." Keira tried to remind me.

"Did they keep you there for days? Or you go alone without telling?" Ask Mr. Kusuma again.

They kidnapped me!

Keira wanted to shriek those words but she just kept quiet.

Bara's approaching Keira.

"Are you okay? What's going on?"

"Dad, we don't know what happened. Don't scold Brother."

"Sister's fine," Keira tidied Dizza's hair.

"You two go to the room." Mrs Lestari tried to mediate.

"Sorry Auntie, can I talk to Keira first." Bara embraces Keira.

"You should get married soon. I'll ask Bara's parents to advance your wedding date."

Bara, Keira and Mrs Lestari were shocked. Keira looked at Bara and distanced herself.

"Dad, I'm sorry.. "

"Om, I don't think it's necessary to move our marriage forward.."

"No, you must get married!"

"Sorry, I can't marry Bara." Those words just came out of Keira's mouth.

Kusuma, Lestari and Dizza gasped in shock, Bara stared at Keira in disbelief, her hands shaking.

"Keira, what are you talking about.. You're not serious, are you?"

Keira looked at Bara sadly.

"I'm sorry, I can't continue this engagement."

PLAQUE.

Kusuma slapped Keira in the face.

"Dad!" Dizzah shouted hysterically.

"Keira.. don't talk carelessly." Ny Lestari reprimands Keira.

"i'm serious. I'm sorry..."

PLAQUE.

Kusuma slapped Keira in the face both times. Mrs Lestari immediately pulled Keira to avoid Kusuma's rampage.

"Om, don't do that." Bara also blocks Kusuma who is desperate to hit Keira.

"Dad, don't do that!" Dizza pulled his father.

Keira took off her mother's hand and knelt in front of Kusuma while holding back her tears.

"Please, I'm sorry Dad."

Bara invited Keira to stand up.

"Keira, don't do this. We'll talk about it."

"You're still getting married!" Kusuma shouted and left Keira.

Mrs Lestari clutching her aching chest, Dizza immediately helped her mother who was about to fall. Keira was still sitting tight while holding back her tears. He sat in front of Keira.

"Keira, I don't know what happened to you but please don't do this. We're not getting married soon, I'll wait until you're ready." Bara tried to convince Keira.

"Keira, calm yourself..."

"Bara, forgive me...." Keira started crying and then shook her head.

"No, don't forgive me. Go, you deserve another woman better than me." Keira tries to take off her engagement ring but Bara holds her back.

"Nggam. I just want to be with you. Why Keira? What the hell's going on? Did I make a mistake? Tell me!"

"You're very kind. I am the guilty one. I'm sorry."

"I will always forgive you. But don't go... "

Keira shook her head, she managed to take off her ring. Keira gave the ring to Bara while crying.

"You don't have to forgive me."

Keira stood up and ran out of the house leaving everything behind.

**

Dizza looked at the face of Ny Lestari who was still frozen through the glass of the dresser. He was treating his own wounds while thinking.

"Dizza, I'm sorry." Ms. Lestari saw Dizza who was putting medicine on her hand.

"Come here." Ms. Lestari called Dizza, asking her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Are you really okay?" mrs Lestari asked while watching the bruises on Dizza's hands.

"What did they do to you?" ask Mrs Lestari worried.

Dizzie tried to smile.

"I'm fine, Mom. They just hit me because I yelled."

"Where's your brother?" Ny Lestari looking for Keira.

"He's gone. There's no way you can survive here. It's better if he leaves before I calm down."

Mrs Lestari nodded.

"What happened to Brother?" ask Dizza.

"Mom doesn't know...I'm worried." Mrs Lestari looks very agitated.

"Mom, what exactly happened to this family?" ask Dizzah again.

Ny Lestari shakes her head. "There's nothing."

"Then why would someone kidnap me, Mom?"

"It's just your father's business competition. From now on, you have to be careful. Don't come out alone."

"Then what about my brother?" ask Dizza panic.

Ms. Lestari held her breath. "Mom should look for her."

"Dad would be angry if Mom went out at a time like this. Let me find Brother. I'll ask one of my father's men to accompany me."

Mrs Lestari looked at Dizza, "Dizza, thank you."

Dizzah smiled at his mother.
