No Rose Without A Thorn's

No Rose Without A Thorn's
The Fox that Sells Love



It's been two days since Dizza left home, he really hasn't returned.


Keira mused at Dizza's departure, Bara seeing a sad expression on her fiance's face.


"This time I thought you were having a big fight, until he had to leave the house." Bara embraces Keira.


"What happened between you?" Bara wants to know.


"He was angry and didn't want to see my face." Keira said sadly.


Bara laughs. "He loves you very much, believe me, he won't last long away from you. Just like me." Comfort words. Keira forced herself to smile.


"We'll just go out, there's something I want to show you." Bara stood up and gave his hand to Keira. Keira glanced at the clock.


"I'm sleepy." Keira tried to refuse.


"Just a moment." Bara. Keira finally complied.


"Wanna go?" ask Lestari


"Get out a minute, Mom." Keira.


Bara took part and embraced Keira.

Dizza bent his knees inside his Cafe room as he read an incoming message. He read the words over and over again, then with an impatient expression he called.


"What is true you say?"


"Why did the woman ban Brother from the hospital? Is he crazy, isn't that putting Brother at risk? Whahuh? For the sake of a good name? What good name can be ruined in a hospital? Cuneiform!" Dizza spoke fiery.


Dizza hung up the phone and hurried off.


****


Beeep.beep.Beep's chat. Dizza mobile vibrates displaying maternal contact. Dizza wanted to ignore it, but the phone kept ringing.


"Dizza, are you still mad at Mom?"


"Hmmm..."


"Dizza, where are you? can you help Mom?"


What's??!


Dizzie wants to scream. He was running away from home and his mother casually asked him for help.


"Mommy is not feeling well. Please go to Paris Love."


Paris Love is a restaurant where old socialites usually gather.


"What did I do to Ana? Isn't that the usual place your friends get together?"


"Yes, I promised I'd send them some presents. But not feeling well. Please give them the gift, the driver will bring the gift and take you to your place."


Dizza laughs. It's just mom's wits to know her hiding place.


"Why didn't the driver give it to him?"


Lestari. Dizzie looks worried.


"I'm not polite. You're the one who should represent mother."


"Well, just meet in person at Paris Love."


"Thank you, my dear..."


Dizza hung up the phone while grumbling.


Dizza did not understand what society his mother was following. Why bring gifts? Dizza carrying 4 paper bags owned by a famous perfume shop.


"What is this gift?Will I also be like this? Ah ...." Dizza.


"Miss, the Madam said, if you can Miss back home tonight because Madam is not feeling well."


"Is it not feeling well?" ask Dizza.


"The lady's a little pale, Non."


"Well okay okay ...." Dizza was upset and then he stepped in.


Paris Love contains middle-aged and old women from the upper class. I don't know what makes them so happy to enjoy dinner there. Dizza once accompanied her mother and she thought the food was not good


.


BRUISES. Dizzah hit someone.


"Sorry, Miss ...."


"God..." Dizza looked up, he saw an angel-faced man apologizing. A moment Dizza was blown away, he looked at the man.


"You're an officer?"


"Hmm, Miss, I ...."


"Next time be careful." Dizza said haughtily.


"It is fitting that these underworked women are happy to be here, ahh, very cunning to use angel-faced men."


The man heard Dizza's rambling, he wanted to protest but the girl had already stepped away.


"I'm sorry, I can't come, he left a greeting and this." Dizza said politely as she placed her mother's bags on the table.


"Ah, I didn't realize that Lestari had two beautiful daughters. Why are you rarely seen?"


"Ah, which young man wants to go with his mother ... Give our regards to your mother, may she recover quickly."


"Next time come again with your mother. Who knew you could be fooling around with our son."


The women laughed. Dizza forced himself to laugh, then he immediately resigned because he did not want to be trapped further in the conversation that he thought was unreasonable.


Dizza stepped slowly, observing the interior of Paris Love in comparison to the interior of his cafe. Unknowingly he entered the private room, the sound of music playing softly. He was behind a barrier when he heard a woman talking.


"So you still let Bara marry that girl?"


hearing Bara's name, Dizza reflexes turned to peek, he saw two women sitting sipping a cup of drink. He recognized one of them as Ny Wijaya.


"I've put in every way to oppose the marriage. But Bara insisted he wanted to continue. My husband said we should give up. "


Dizza frowned.


"But the girl was too troubled, sort of bringing misfortune."


The other woman laughed.


"Beauty does not always bring good luck. His past is too horrible. Even the fortune teller said that his life was always in danger."


"Helpter? What era do you think we are in?" Dizzah cursed in his heart.


"The astrologer asked me to keep him out of the hospital. The fortune teller said the hospital could bring the girl back to her past. You know it wouldn't be so embarrassing to see that girl repeat the scandal with another man?"


"What?" Dizza shut her mouth in disbelief.


"His father refused as I told the truth, he thought of his daughter's wounds that had not completely healed. But treatment, right, can be run at home."


"Did his father finally agree?"


"Of course I agree. I threatened him if he didn't want to stay away


his son from the hospital, it's better that his marriage and cooperation be void."


the two women laughed.


"Ah, what a pity your daughter-in-law."


"But how else, it's for them too and my good name."


Dizza was eager to meet Mrs Wijaya and make the calculations when someone forced her to withdraw.


"What are you doing?!" Dizza rebelled when she realized the man she had hit pulled her.


"You want to make a scene in this place?" ask the man.


"Honored women won't do it."


Dizza laughed cynically.


"How do you know?"


"I was right next to you and heard their conversation."


"Do you know who they're talking about?" ask Dizza astonished.


"Of course not. But I saw an expression on your face that wanted to swallow them."


Dizza stomped her feet and left the man she did not know, disappointed when she found the two women had walked away.


***


Keira was standing in front of a house. She embraced it happily. The house is not as big as Kusuma's house, just a simple house with a yard not too big.


"Let's go in." Bara took Keira.


The inside of the house looks simple too.


"This is a gift for you."


"Forku?" Keira scrunched her forehead.


"Yes, I know you don't really like big houses with a variety of luxurious interiors. I know you like a simple, comfortable home."


"But ...." Keira wanted to say something.


"Sssst ... This house will be our place of residence after marriage."


Keira remained silent. He had never imagined that he would live with Bara. He did decide to marry Bara, but he never imagined what his life would be like after that.


Keira looked around the room. The house was like his dream, but not his wish. When he looked at Bara who was happily walking towards the kitchen, his heart felt empty. He did not feel happy one bit.


"You happy?" ask Bara.


"Ehh hmmm ...." Keira was confused, she was not happy at all.


"Yes, of course. I'm just a little surprised." Then he smiled. There's no way he's disappointed the man who saved his life.


If Bara refuses marriage and cooperation. His life will be destroyed instantly because his father will not let go of Evan and Zea. He must learn to love Bara as Bara loves him.


Keira walks into the living room to show her enthusiasm, puts her phone on the table and walks into the kitchen following Bara.


"Would you like a drink?" ask Bara.


"Let me do it." Keira offered herself. Keira made two cups of tea. Bara hugged him from behind, then kissed his neck.


"I should have prepared the wine ...." Bara said tease. Keira laughs.


"Let go, I can't stir it." Keira asks Bara to let go of her embrace but Bara won't let go.


"You know, ever since we first met in college, I've liked you. I know one day you'll look at me. When your father took you to the inauguration of my father's new branch, I knew that we would be together."


Keira only listened to Bara's words. Bara has always been nice to her. But he didn't know that Bara liked him since they were in college. Bara flipped Keira's body, until they looked at each other.


"You know, I wouldn't be able to live without you. I'll do anything for you. Please, don't go again." He drew his face closer and kissed Keira.


Bara keeps kissing Keira who is still pretending to be happy.


"You're willing to live with me, aren't you?" Bara asked.


"We start a new life..."


Keira nodded, Bara kissed her again, he led Keira to the sofa and laid Keira down slowly. They were still kissing, Keira felt Bara was more aggressive. But he was silent.


What the hell am I doing?


Bara looked at Keira's face deeply, Keira tried to overcome her feelings when Bara's hand finally moved unbuttoned Keira's shirt, she was silent for a moment.


Why sell yourself for the company?


Keira remembered Dizzas anger. Bara still kissed and continued to slowly undress.


My brother even taught me that everything can be solved by selling myself.


Bara stared at Keira's silent face, he almost lowered Keira's shirt over his shoulder. He's waiting for Keira. All of Dizza's words and his father's threats were playing around in Keira's head. Finally he nodded slowly at Bara, Keira even wrapped her hands around Bara's waist and closed her eyes. Let Bara kiss her again and finish what she started.


I'm not an angel, baby.


I'm not an angel.


I don't have a miracle to change the world for the better.


I don't even have the strength to protect those I love.


I only have love that turns out not enough to make it all last.


And now I've sold all the love that exists.


It's all over.


I'm just a fox selling love.
