No Rose Without A Thorn's

No Rose Without A Thorn's
The Past Scrap



Keira returns home with a Dizza greeting featuring a photo album. Especially if it's not her engagement album. Keira is tired but still able to respond to all the spoiled Dizzas babble. He wrestled on Keira's arm and commented on all the photos in the album.


Keira looked at the photos while smiling to herself. Mother who saw the commotion in Keira's room immediately entered and saw the two were laughing looking through the photo album on Keira's lap.


"Dizza, I called you." Mom told Dizza to go to Mr. Kusuma's office immediately.


Dizza nagged saying that her father had always been the one to ruin the atmosphere. Ms. Kusuma advised Dizza not to say anything unreasonable about her father. Dizza laughed then immediately ran to find Mr. Kusuma.


Ny Kusuma approached Keira and saw Keira looking at their family photo at the engagement party.


"We really look like a family" Keira said.


"Whatchu mean? We are family." Mrs Kusuma approached Keira and put down a cup of tea.


Keira was still looking at her photo next to Dizza.


"If he's still around, it'll be fun. Same age as Dizzie. Will he be like Dizzah? Like to shop or ...."


"Stop Keira!" Mrs Kusuma half-stomped Keira.


"Why, Mom? Why can't I even remember her?!" ask Keira to be angry.


"Then I say again, don't hurt yourself. Forget the past."


"Forgetit?" Keira asked in annoyance.


"Without Mom telling me to always try to forget, Mom. Forgetting all our bad times. Forget that I caused my only brother to burn to death!" Keira could not help but cry.


Ms. Kusuma lowered her voice.


"Deflect your voice. Don't let your father hear ...."


"He's not even my father!" peekik Keira was angry.


"Keira!" Mrs Lestari yells at Keira.


"Why, Mom? Why can't we even talk about it? Why did you forget that so easily? He's also Mom's son!"


Ms. Kusuma hugged Keira to ease her daughter's anger.


"It wasn't your fault. The fire is not your fault. Your sister must be happy there. He must be happy. So don't blame yourself anymore."


"I'm sorry Brother, forgive Brother ... You must be angry because you can not come to the engagement party Brother. Ah, you must have cursed Big Brother since the first day Big Brother reneged on the promise. Brother never even knows where your body is." Keira wailed sadly.


Ms. Kusuma held herself back from being emotionally ignited. She had repeatedly told Keira not to mention her sister in this house.


"He has gone and let him go in peace without needing to mention his name in our half-hell world." So did Mrs Kusuma's message every time Keira remembered about her sister's misfortune.


Keira has tried to forget the past but the shadow of his sister's face does not want to disappear from the corner of his eye.


"Sister's really coming, isn't he?" ask a little girl to a bigger girl.


"Have you ever broken a promise?"


The little girl smiled and then shook her head.


"I knew my brother would always come. Because you're my brother!" The little girl jumped happily.


The big girl nodded happily.


"Tonight, wait for Brother. Whatever happens, you will come even if it is too late. Don't say anything to Mom!"


"Promise?" repeat the little girl.


"Promise!" The big girl hugged her sister.


"Keira let's go" Kusuma called Keira and knelt before a little girl named Zea.


"Zea, I'm sorry I had to leave you like this. Mom won't be long. I'll be right to pick you up. Listen to the words of the superintendent. "


Zea nodded then glanced at Keira who gestured for silence. Ms. Kusuma hugged her son.


"Why isn't that big brother who lives here?" ask plain zea.


Questions that always haunt Keira. Ms. Kusuma looked at Zea with pity and then hugged her youngest daughter again.


"Because Zea will be safer here."


But it turns out that it was all wrong. Keira knows her mother lied to Zea. He knew his mother had bought tickets abroad for both of them. Unwilling to leave Zea, Keira is determined to take Zea on the run that night without her mother's knowledge.


That night was the worst day of Keira's life, she failed to keep her promise to Zea. Keira could not pick up her sister while Zea had waited patiently for Keira.


When the power outage occurred, frightened Zea hid outside the parlor to wait for Keira. I don't know what happened suddenly there was an explosion that caused a fire in the orphanage. The fire quickly burned down the orphanage building. Some of the residents had already fled but Zea stayed where she was hiding because she did not want Keira to have trouble finding her.


The next day it was reported that some of the children were victims in the incident, including Zea.

Evan looked at the TV with anger. The news he saw was the engagement between Keira Kusuma and Bara Wijaya. His eyes could not be seen the figure of a woman who always looked smiling. In his eyes, the woman was still the same as 13 years ago.


"Are you pretending to be happy? or are you really happy with your life right now?" a million questions haunt Evan's mind. At that time he did not realize that Nada had entered his house.


"Just this time I saw big brother seriously watching the news." Nada also listened to the news sambari put some groceries into the refrigerator.


"Oh, rich man's engagement."


"Wait a minute, what's his name?" Tone suddenly sat down, unaware that Evan was clenching his hand.


"Jeez, this is, isn't it, you perverted couple!" exclaiming Tone while closing his mouth. Evan was surprised.


"Baby couple? You knew her?"


Tone shaking.


"The couple I told you about when I last delivered the flowers."


Evan turned his memory.


"Wait a minute, I'm still keeping the picture. Ahhh, I didn't expect them to be famous people. Maybe they kissed on the emergency stairs while the other guests were still in the building."


The constantly blabbering tone was unaware of Evan's hardened face change.


" Behold ... I feel like I am no stranger when I see that woman. It turns out he's a celebrity." The tone showed a picture of Bara and Keira smiling happily holding a flower. Evan looked at the two and unintentionally muttered, "It turns out you're happy...."


Tone looked at Evan in wonder.


"Hooy what does Big Brother mean? Of course this kind of couple is happy ... Brother looks envious." Tone laughs at Evan.


"You!" Evan gritted his teeth.


"Before I count to 3, you better get home!" evan shouted annoyed.


Nada immediately ran away.


"Ah, too long celibacy makes people can get STDs without cause," he grumbled.

Evan dreams of meeting Keira. They were wearing school uniforms, as they used to be when they met.


At first Keira smiled and stretched out her hand and then suddenly she pulled Evan to fall on the cliff.


Evan wakes up from his sleep and takes a drink. "Among all those who betray, why are you like them?!" Evan slammed his glass furiously.


He recalled the time when he and Keira promised that they would find a way to survive. That they will continue to live together, that they will not live in the shadow of Mr. Kusuma.


But what did he see today? Keira who had carried the name Kusuma even laughed happily. Happy in his suffering.


Over the years Evan devises a revenge plan, but several times has to run aground as he still harbors feelings for Keira. He does not want Keira to be hurt, because he still thinks that Keira is a victim, even though he never understands why Keira betrayed him.


But seeing Keira engaged happily, he is convinced that he must immediately take revenge, including on Keira. The girl he once loved, who once filled his days with love, ultimately ruined his life.

Keira and Bara were walking around in the shopping mall. Actually Keira was just lazy to go home, he reasoned to want to find a gift for his friend who did not exist. Bara knows Keira is lying, but insists on accompanying her.


They go around in and out of the store, just looking at the look without buying. Bara repeatedly teases Keira by trying various cute accessories to look cute. Keira laughed repeatedly.


They've entered the shop akaesoris teen. Actually the store is not a reasonable place to look for gifts at their age. They only realized after circling once around the entire store.


"We're in the wrong place" Keira said.


"It's funny." Raised a wide beach hat.


"What's so funny?" ask Keira.


"Look at me!" I'm wearing that hat.


"Not funny!" keira is upset. The time runs out because Bara tried a lot of unreasonable stuff.


"Well, what's funnier?" Suddenly Bara approached Keira until Keira also entered the hat.


"We can buy one hat for both. Very cost-effective for the wedding" Bara said slowly and seriously.


Keira laughs. "Retreat, you make the employee suspect us."


It's getting closer.


"I'm sure now he'll call his friend to see us." Bara whispered in Keira's ear. Keira took a quick glance and yes it was true.


"Stop!" Keira pushed Bara away, but Bara docked and whispered again.


"Now are their numbers increasing?" ask Bara. Keira did not want to take another glance, he said with annoyance. "I think they all including the manager will be lined up in that corner if you don't want to back down now."


"That's what I want." Bara was still whispering while covering his hat. Keira glanced then suddenly her heart seemed to stop. He saw a man watching him. Keira threw away her face in shock, then she turned her head again, but the man had already disappeared.


"What's wrong?" tanya Bara was suspicious.


Keira did not reply but her expression suddenly turned agitated.


Did I see wrong?


But is he really Evan?


Keira was suddenly dazed, Bara swiftly propped up Keira's shoulder.


"Why you?" ask Bara astonishment. Keira could not answer, as the reason he said suddenly his stomach hurt.


That man was Evan. He did not coincidentally meet Keira, but he did seek and follow her. He still wants to make sure that Keira has really lived happily and forgotten about it. Evan called someone and walked out of the shopping building with a wounded heart, he was in a hurry to not realize the presence of humans in front of him.


"Whoo!" The woman he hit screamed in annoyance. He was just about to swear when he saw Evan in a hurry to apologize.


"Sister Evan?!"


Evan glared, not recognizing the girl with a crisp voice in front of him.


"Sister Evan's a photographer, right?"


Evan nodded slowly.


"Wow, what a coincidence. I'm a big fan of Evan, it's been a long time that I've wanted to get to know and work with my brother!" the girl was cheerful.


Evan scrunched his forehead.


"Hows it? Does your brother agree?"


Evan was astonished. The girl did not say any cooperation agreement and wanted approval.


"I'm sorry, I seem to talk too much until I forget to introduce myself. My name is Dizza Kusuma, I want Brother Evan to take a picture of me. Does my sister have time?"


Evan looked at the face of the girl in front of him.


Dizza Kusuma, the youngest daughter of Mr. Kusuma, Keira's half-sister.


"Halloooo!" Dizza waved at Evan's face. Evan smiled and extended his hand.


"I'm sorry I was a little surprised to get hit by a pretty girl. What a sweet coincidence, I'm also looking for a model."


Dizza smiled broadly, but Evan's smile in her heart was twice as wide.


Look Kusuma. I can also destroy your most precious treasure!


Tonight it's Keira's turn to dream of meeting Evan. Evan runs after Keira's car which continues to accelerate. When the car finally stopped, Keira opened the window haughtily.


"Forget me" he said, closing the car window.


Keira awakens, unable to believe how the 13-year-old's memory came into being as a dream. He opened his room drawer and took out a star-shaped necklace.


"Zea, you know, Big Brother always misses you and he. You guys haven't even seen each other yet" said Keira lirih. Then he recalled the good times with Evan.


Almost every day he came home with Evan, laughing and even crying together.


"Keira, are you really going to run away?" ask Evan.


Keira nodded.


"I'm not leaving without my sister!"


"I wouldn't leave without my mother either!"


"Let's go together ..." suggested Keira.


"Are you sure you can leave your mother?" ask Evan.


Keira nodded slowly.


"I don't know how to live without him ...."


"Is your mother happy there? my mom doesn't" Evan said again.


Keira shook her head "I don't see her happy ...."


"Liar!" Evan threw the glass back. He had just remembered the same incident Keira remembered. When Keira cries in memory of him, Evan curses the memory instead. Evan took out a family photo and spoke for himself.


"I'll repay them for you!"


Evan is determined to immediately complete his revenge. Evan put his picture back in the drawer.


Photo of a woman with two boys.


Evan closed his eyes and cried. He hasn't cried for a long time, the last time was 13 years ago. As she discovers the fact her mother died from overdosing on drugs and her next brother Hans plunged off a cliff.


Then he remembered when Mr. Kusuma kicked him out of the house.


"You, disappear from this country before my patience is completely exhausted!" said Mr. Kusuma with glittering eyes.


"What's my fault, Dad?" asked Evan at the time.


"I'm not your father! Go!" Mr. Kusuma ordered his men to drag Evan out of the house, not caring about Evan's cry for an explanation.


"Mr Kusuma, Lestari Kusuma, Keira! You should feel the same pain!" evan shouted furiously.
