No Rose Without A Thorn's

The Curse of the Past

Adrian and Dizza stopped at a corner of the park deep inside. No one was there.

"That girl they're talking about, your brother?" ask Adrian.

Dizza nodded.

"Whose family are you from?" ask Dizza inquiring.

"Who's your father?"

Adrian did not answer, he paced back and forth in front of Dizza. Dizza guessed, if until Adrian was a close relative of Vijaya, he was finished. But Dizza ventured, he was in the right position.

Which act is more acceptable between eavesdropping on someone else's conversation or banning the sick from going to the hospital.

"Listen yes, you can complain against me, but I won't be daunted against injustice!"

Adrian looked at Dizzah in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"What family are you from?" ask Dizza upset.

"Is it important to know my family's origin?"

"of course. I need to know whose side you're on?"

"Hey, are we at war?" Adrian was astonished.

Suddenly there was a voice of an angry woman followed by the steps of a man. Adrian pulls Dizza's hand to hide behind a grove of plants.

"Squat, it's not good to hear other people fighting." Adrian pressed Dizzas head while whispering. Dizza brushed Adrian's hand on his head.

"Mom, please don't overreact like this."

Dizza was astonished, was that not the voice of Bara.

He put an index finger on his lips, asking Adrian not to make a sound.

"You are the one who has been overreacting. How many times have you told her you don't have to marry her. If you like it so much, why not just make it a stash? I don't want to get grandchildren from a woman like her."

"Have the guests gone home?" Adrian whispered in wonder. Dizzah did not chim, his hands uprooted the grass furiously.

"Mom, I love her ...."

"Bara listen, you don't understand what love is. The girl just wants the benefit of our family. He brings bad luck. Why did you give her a house without Mom's knowledge? The girl even went to the hospital without our knowledge. There will soon be a disaster. "

"Hospital? Why her? Do you know where it's coming from?" Bara panic.

"Bara, that girl can't go to the hospital, you hear? Even his father knew!"

"Mom, what the hell is this? Why can't he go to the hospital?" I was frustrated to hear his mother's chatter.

"Hospitals will make embarrassing happenings for our families, the soothsayer said. The girl should be kept away from the hospital. He'll meet his past in the hospital and put our family to shame. But he went there without his father's knowledge!"

"Mom, what are you doing? A fortune teller?Why do you believe fortune teller's bullshit?"

"It's up to you not to believe it. I did approve of your marriage before I knew she had a disgusting past! Didn't you know that, he's an illegitimate child and once a rape victim even had a scandal with the top of the Oshi Group. Why didn't he just become the man's mistress? You don't have to marry him. You can keep it in the house you bought for her, but you don't have to marry her!"

"Mom, stop!"

Dizza peered behind the plants to see the reaction of Ny Wijaya who suddenly fell silent, how surprised she saw Keira near them.

Bara and his mother did not see Keira standing behind them, but Keira must have heard everything. Dizza could see Keira's hands shaking.

The girl did not interrupt the commotion between Bara and Ny Wijaya, she turned away. Dizza held back his tears, Adrian looked at him and clasped Dizza's hand.

When there was no sound again, Adrian peeked.

"They've gone ...."

"You heard, right?" Dizzah speaks for himself.

"How can one insult another in such a way? Is he an angel? God?"

"Relax ...." Adrian calming.

"And how can anyone be as stupid as Brother?"

Dizza's crying. Adrian is confused, he throws a tissue, but Dizza doesn't heed. Adrian finally embraced Dizza.

***

Bara wanted to drive Keira and Dizza home, but they refused.

"You, go inside." Keira asks Bara to go inside the house.

Bara did not want to leave Keira, he himself was hurt hearing the words of his mother, he did not imagine what if Keira heard it. What he didn't know was that Keira had heard it.

"The car has arrived." Dizzah went ahead of Keira without saying goodbye to Bara.

Keira waved at Bara and followed Dizza.

Is my past a curse?

"Non, looks like we can't get there fast." The driver gave the information, but the two daughters of the employer behind him no one answered. Both looked at themselves. The driver looked back.

"Non, we can't get through this road for a while."

"Oh yeah, what's up?" Dizza. He looked around and saw the road in front of him closed.

"There was an accident, a big truck rolled over and closed the road."

Dizza looked at Keira who was still pondering, then he saw a small shop outside.

"Nr ...." Dizza nudged Keira's arm.

"We'll just wait there." Dizza takes Keira out of the car and goes to the small shop.

"But Non, Mr. has ordered ...."

"Mother can watch over us, right? We just went to the store!" Dizza answered, not caring about the frightened driver.

*

Evan and Nada have returned to Indonesia again. Like Dizza, Nada did not stop swearing at women who forbade Keira from going to the hospital. Evan tends to keep quiet thinking about how to free Keira from Mr. Kusuma's threats.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Whining tone. They were driving around on a motorbike.

"Ah, the streets are closed." Tone swore then he saw a small shop.

"We'll just go there, yeah, I'm hungry."

***

When he decided to wait in the small shop, Dizza did not take into account the clothes they were wearing. They casually walked into a modest tavern with party dresses and dressings.

Everyone in the shop looked at them in amazement. Had they entered into a large restaurant, it certainly did not become strange, but getting into the store with the appearance of a party would have made a noise. And worse, due to the shock of hearing the evil words of Mrs Wijaya, the two girls did not realize it.

They thought the service was so friendly that the four maids simultaneously offered a menu of food.

They were sitting in a corner near the cooler because Dizza couldn't stand the heat. He was fanning his own body and making the store cashier stunned.

"Sister, don't be sad." Dizzah opened the conversation.

"Why is my sister sad?Does Brother look sad?" Keira asked back.

Two waiters deliver drinks and scramble to put them on the table. Dizza got upset and took the glass herself.

"So, I don't look pathetic." Dizza sipped his drink.

Keira laughs. Dizza's getting pissed.

"Are they artists?" ask a waiter.

"I've never seen someone in such a way dress up just to eat into this noodle shop." said the cashier.

Dizza and Keira heard the conversation of the two men, they turned their heads slightly and realized that they had become the subject of conversation. Dizza noticed Keira's appearance, and vice versa, and then they laughed out loud.

"Gosh, we didn't realize it." Keira laughs. Dizza laughed.

"It looks like we're becoming a spectacle."

"Sister, I can finally see you laughing again." Dizzie is back seriously. Keira scrunched her forehead.

"From today, stop playing. Tell me the truth and then we finish together. Don't bear it alone."

"I don't understand ...."

"Don't lie anymore."

"Dizza ...."

"I heard it." Dizzah said shrewdly.

"I heard the evil woman's words ...."

Keira threw her face away, not expecting Dizza to hear it either.

Dizza held Keira's hand.

"Leave the Wijaya family, I'll help you find other investors. I'll ...."

"Dizza, it's not that easy ...." Keira pondered, she thought of Evan and Zea.

Then as if out of his mind, the two people he had in mind were actually in front of him. Evan and Nada entered the store. Keira.

"Am I dreaming?" Keira held her cheek.

Evan first came face to face with Keira. They look at each other.

Am I dreaming?
