No Rose Without A Thorn's

New Sheet

Kusuma looked at Keira's face which was bribing porridge into her mouth. He could not eat anything hard besides porridge.

"Do you want any other food?" ask Kusuma.

"Did?" Keira raised her head and looked at Kusuma.

Because you are her real daughter.

For the first time Keira dared to look at Kusuma's eyes, then she muttered inwardly.

How could she not say a word that I was her real daughter?

"Do you want any other food?" Kusuma repeated the question.

Keira shook her head, to be honest she didn't even want to eat anything. But he tried to appreciate his mother who had prepared dinner to welcome his return after almost a month in the hospital.

"You have to move on with your life." Kusuma said again, he looked at Bara who also seemed to have no taste for food but tried to be polite.

"Dad, don't talk too heavy. Brother hasn't really healed yet." Dizza again tried to save Keira.

"I'll get back to work." Keira opened her voice.

"Navigator ...." Ny Lestari protested. The mistress scandal is not over. Some shareholders and directors are still questioning and want Keira to clarify immediately. Mrs Lestari doesn't want Keira under pressure.

"You can't go back to work yet." Kusuma gave the order.

He'll clean up the scandal before Keira gets back there. Keira wanted to argue back, but Bara held her hand and gestured not to argue.

Keira spent her time wandering around the house, all day long as she and Dizza went round and round checking the plants.

Keira is unable to get out of the house, Kusuma forbids Keira from leaving until the scandal about Keira ends. He even put in a lot of guards so Keira could not escape.

Keira remembered the dry plants in Nada's house, and laughed.

How could I not realize it, Zea would not be able to take care of a single plant.

"Why is my brother laughing?" ask Dizza astonished. Keira leaned against the wall of the gazebo, looking at the plants below.

"Can't you laugh?" Keira asked back.

Dizza smiled, "Laugh with reason. Don't laugh for no reason, Big Brother looks like he's out of his mind."

Keira laughed again. From far away Bara saw Keira and Dizza talking and laughing.

Seeing him laugh is the best gift for me. I want that laughing face just for me.

"What are you guys talking about? It looks so exciting." Bara. Keira smiled at Bara and then looked back at the plants in the yard. The self-knowing Dizza immediately left the two men behind.

"Keira, I want to apologize because I failed to take care of you."

Keira did not even look back and answered. He let Bara keep talking.

"I want you to give me another chance. Start all over again, I promise I'll take care of you."

Keira still did not answer even though she listened to every word Bara.

Why does he have such a pure heart?

"I know that your heart is still hurting. I don't even know if you're still leaving room for someone else in your heart. But I want you to know that I'm waiting for you, until the moment you can accept me, let me be by your side."

Bara emboldened himself to take Keira's hand and hold it, Keira was forced to turn her head and see Bara's sincerity.

I love her, but I know I never loved her.

Bara looked at Keira affectionately and then slowly hugged Keira. Keira did not react, her heart seemed to freeze, she just kept silent not returning the hug until she saw that Kusuma was looking at them from the balcony of her room. Keira then raised her hand and wrapped it around Bara's waist and back. He hugged Bara tightly. Kusuma went into the room, Keira looked at the Balcony with an annoyed look.

Dizza felt sorry to see Keira who was confined at home. Even more compassionate because he felt Keira was covering up his attitude. After an incident that almost took his life, Dizza saw Keira changed. As if he had forgotten about the matter, he never brought it up. Keira did not even care about Kusuma who locked her up at home, no matter what Bara kept coming to harass her. He acted as if what happened was normal. He did not try to rebel or flee outside the house. He accepted his new life.

The most disturbing thing about Dizza was that Keira seemed to be indifferent to Evan and Nada.

"Sister, aren't you bored?" Dizza took Keira who had just led Bara to the door.

"Hm ...."

"So, you're bored, right?"

Dizza whispered something in Keira's ear.

"I'll take Brother to see Nada."

Keira fell silent and shook her head.

"So, I don't want to leave the house."

Dizza surprised.

"Nr ...."

Keira looked at Dizza, saying nothing, leaving Dizzah confused.

"It's weird!" Dizzie said angrily.

They meet again because Dizza promised to take Keira to Nada. He had made a plan to outwit the panjaga, unexpectedly even Keira who refused. Finally Dizza went out on his own without having to outwit the guards.

"Do you see? My father let me go anywhere, but he forbade Brother to come out. Not even going to the hospital is allowed, the father who asked the doctor to check on Brother at home."

I listened half-heartedly.

"But why does Big Brother seem to accept being treated like that?"

"Maybe he's tired." Tone replied sadly.

Ever since he learned that he was Keira's younger brother, he never once received a visit from Keira or

her mother's.

Both of them seemed to not care about his presence. It is precisely Dizza who often finds a reason to meet Nada.

"Didn't you want to meet her? Ever since he realized, you haven't spoken to him. "

Tone shaking. "If you don't want to see me, you already have."

"No way! He has sacrificed himself for you repeatedly. There's no way she's ignoring you."

Dizza pinched his head.

Tone took out the necklace from inside his bag.

"Please give it to him, I don't need it."

Tone left the necklace on the table and left just like that.

Keira stared at the necklace that Dizza threw on the bed.

"You see him again?"

"Why? Can't you?" ask Dizza upset.

"Dizza, listen Brother ...."

"I used to listen to Brother, but now I'm an adult. I will not listen to the words of others that contradict my heart!".

"I hope you do too."

Dizza slammed the door and left Keira.

Unknowingly Kusuma was passing in front of Keira's room.

"Don't be rude. Don't you know that your brother is still sick?" Kusuma yelled at Dizza.

"Why indeed?" Dizza challenged Kusuma.

"You ...." Kusuma almost hit Dizza if Lestari had not come to break up.

Dizzie looked at her parents.

"Why did you suddenly treat Brother like this? Why is he more important than me?"

"Dizza!" Ms. Lestari asked Dizza to leave but Dizza did not want to leave. Keira listened to all of Dizzas words from inside the room.

"It's not that he almost died, is it? Did you ever care if you lived or died? I only care about Dad's business!"

THE PLAQUE!

Kusuma subconsciously hit Dizza. Keira was still listening from behind the door of her room.

Dizzah held his cheek.

"Why did you save Brother, take him to the hospital, ask the best doctor to save his life if you finally bury him alive in this house?! I'm just afraid of losing Brother because I'm afraid of losing Wijaya's family, right?"

"Dizza, stop!"

Mrs Lestari dragged Dizza away.

Kusuma held his chest.

Keira looked at the door as if she saw the quarrel, but she did not react even though she knew Kusuma hit Dizza. she took the necklace, looking at him for a while.

Zea's biological father is Baskoro, the man who destroyed her mother, separating her from her biological father for years. His son even desecrated him.

Keira took a deep breath and then looked back at the necklace in her palm.

All right, we're gonna bury all the past. Let's start a new chapter.

Then without a second thought Keira threw the necklace into the trash.
