No Rose Without A Thorn's

Angels and Demons

Kusuma is confined to his office, and Baskoro has been imprisoned for the kidnapping and attempted murder of Keira. Ny Leah's name was saved in exchange for the services of the Oshi Group to become a major investor in mega hotel projects. Evan is still one of the shareholders in the company, he promised to leave the country after they held a press conference with Keira and Bara to clear Keira's name.

Kusuma had met with the Wijaya family and assured them that the rumors were not true. They should not attract investment in the project. Keira must remain married to Bara.

That's one of the reasons Kusuma forbade Keira from leaving the house, other than for fear that Baskoro will return through his men, he is also afraid that Keira will meet Evan again. What makes him wonder is that Keira looks ordinary even though she knows what Kusuma means.

"Mom, we go first." Dizzah says goodbye to her mother.

"Mom, we're leaving." Keira was also happy.

"Part yourself well. Don't forget to take your medicine. " Mrs Lestari waved as Keira and Dizza got into the car.

"You know what Mr. Kusuma would do if something happened to them?"

"We understand, Mom." Some of the guards lowered their heads and got into another car.

"Ah, very unpleasant. Just going to the tomb is like a motorcade delivering a corpse!" Dizza grumbling.

Keira did not respond. He stared at his new cell phone which only had Kusuma, Bara, his mother, Dizza, and a few bodyguards. They are on their way to the grave of Dany, the father whom Keira has always known as his biological father.

Every year Keira always visit the tomb located on the edge of the city. Kusuma actually does not allow Keira to leave, but when Keira pleads that it is the only way he is devoted to his father who is not there, Kusuma gives permission.

They should be back soon even if it's night. The trip took more than 3 hours because the cemetery was completely secluded.

Along the way Dizza just plays with his cell phone, calls his friends or listens to music. He tries to upset Keira but her brother just stares at the street without talking. For the remaining two hours, Keira fell asleep.

Dizza was always happy to join Keira in visiting his father's tomb. The atmosphere is close to a beautiful small village. There were hardly any cars, only bicycles and motorcycles passing by. The atmosphere became calm, especially when in the tomb.

"You don't have to go inside." Keira walked slowly down the other tombs.

"No, I don't want to wait outside." Dizza crossed his arms around his chest.

"A little horror," he said while holding Keira.

"You don't come inside!" Dizza threatened some of the guards.

"But Miss ...."

"Can't you respect someone else who prays? You think this is a tourist spot, a bunch of people coming in?"

"Let them." Keira kept walking.

"You're the one who accompanied us, the others are waiting here!" Dizzah appointed the oldest guard.

The other guards were forced to comply, after some distance they grumbled.

"Why is the little miss more terrible than her father?"

"Ah, my glasses are missing. Sir please get it in the car." Dizza gave orders to the old guards escorting them.

The guard immediately went to pick it up in the car. Keira and Dizza continued walking and Keira stopped when she saw someone visit her father's grave first. Keira looked at Dizza who felt innocent.

"He's also entitled to visit, right?" ask Dizza.

Keira silently stared at Nada sitting staring at the grave of the man she remembered as her father.

"How are you doing?" Keira opened the conversation while sprinkling flowers, she just stood up because she could not sit down.

"Is Brother okay?" ask Nada.

Keira nodded slowly.

"Nrt ...." Keira wanted to say something but Nada spoke first.

"I remember one day my dad came home with two ice creams. Chocolate and strawberries."

Keira silently listened.

"I dropped my ice cream strobery. Do you remember?"

Keira of course remembered all her memories with Zea.

The strawberry ice cream fell and Zea cried, she didn't want the ice cream to fall. Keira. He gave her chocolate ice cream to Zea and then she ate the strawberry ice cream that fell.

"Sister said strawberry ice cream was delicious. I was curious and wanted it too."

Keira is still listening.

"But you spent the ice cream alone until I got mad at you, I threw away your favorite chocolate ice cream."

Tone stood up then looked at her brother.

"When I whined to ask for the strawberry ice cream back, why didn't Brother explain that ice cream was dangerous? Why did Brother swallow the trash alone until the night Brother had diarrhea? Why did you have to eat that ice cream?"

Keira looked calm.

"Maybe it was because Big Brother used to be stupid," Keira replied casually without the slightest emotion.

"Sister, is there something you're hiding again?"

"Sister glad you're alive. Zea, keep your life. Go back abroad, continue your dream. Brother will continue with Brother's life. Can, right?"

Tone looked at Keira in disbelief.

"Don't want me here? Don't you want to admit me?"

Keira looked at her father's headstone.

"Zea, after everything we've been through, Big Brother realized a lot of things. The time we have passed will never come back. We have lived different lives for 13 years. Brother is grateful that you are still alive, it was throwing away one of Big Brother's heavy burdens."

"Heavy load? Has Brother been looking for me just because he feels guilty?"

"Zea, we'll be happy if we go back to each other's lives. Let's stop here. It's enough for Brother to know that you're okay."

Tone slowly took off Keira's hand, she held back her tears.

"It turns out I've lost a brother I used to think of as an angel."

Nada left Keira after saying quietly, "May you be happy."

Keira did not want to see Nada leave, she just looked at her father's headstone.

Isn't the distance between the angel and the devil very close? You can become an angel and turn into a demon. But when you become a demon, it takes thousands of years to turn you into an angel. When that happens, maybe the world is over.

Keira walked away from the tomb in silence, not caring for Dizza who kept looking at her in surprise.

"Stoop!" Dizza ordered the driver to stop, the escorting car came to a stop. Dizza wiped away the cold sweat on Keira's forehead.

"Sister, is it okay?" ask Dizza to worry. Keira shakes. He opened the windshield and let the outside air in. His stomach suddenly felt nauseous.

"What's up, Miss?" ask the driver restlessly.

Dizza looked around, they were at the entrance of a village.

"We go there first, ask if there is a place that can be used to rest, it seems like Big Brother is not feeling well."

"Good, Miss."

Dizza's entourage stopped at a village chief's house. The homeowner's woman welcomes them and gives them one room so that Keira and Dizza can rest.

Dizza called her mother and told her they could not continue on their way home. Keira took her medicine and fell asleep. He woke up at night, the guards were asleep from exhaustion. Keira took a walk around the village to calm down.

"Are you going to sacrifice yourself again?"

Keira gasped, she recognized the voice.

"You're following us?" Keira looked at Evan.

Evan did not answer, he approached Keira.

"I beg you to move on and forget about me, but should you do that to Nada?"

Keira did not respond to Evan, she walked past Evan.

"Wait." Evan intercepts Keira.

"I'm sorry, I've tried my hardest to forget you, but I can't. Keira, do you hate me? Please don't do anything bad to Nada, what's wrong with her until you can throw her away from you?"

"We're all wrong. We are all born into the wrong world. This world is not a place we are together. I have forgiven you and forgotten everything. I'm going to start a new chapter and I don't want to remember anything from the past!"

"But Tone ...."

"Please don't interfere in our personal affairs. I can't go on living well if you continue to be a shadow!"

"What made you change?" ask Evan.

Keira did not answer, she walked away.

"Why did you save me?" ask Evan.

Keira turned around and looked at Evan.

"Maybe because I'm stupid. I'm sorry to say this, but when I was unconscious, I promised that if I had the chance to live, I wouldn't repeat the same mistake."

Evan was surprised to hear that. Keira walked over without looking again. Leaving behind Evan who had not expected Keira had changed quickly.

When you choose to become a demon, it will be difficult to return to being an angel. But wouldn't the world hate demons more easily than angels?

Keira walked vigorously, without any tears but when it was some distance away, she fell to the ground. His stomach hurt and even bleed.

Keira tried to stand up but fell back down. Finally he just sat there holding back the pain while crying alone.

His stomach hurt but his heart hurt a lot more. Things got more complicated because he couldn't tell anyone his heart.

With the rest of his strength, Keira stood up and walked back to the village chief's house.
