No Rose Without A Thorn's

Recognition

Evan scratched his head for failing to take Keira out.

"Aren't you going out?" ask Keira.

"Ehhmm I ...."

"Why don't you just tell me you want to take me out?" keira asked still reading the papers in her hand.

"If you know why you pretend you don't know?" evan asked, unconsciously starting to spark a debate. Keira looked at Evan then took a breath and threw him away.

"Forget it." Keira was busy reading the paper.

Evan immediately stood up in annoyance then when he opened the door and the atmosphere was silent, he did not come out.

Evan sat back down to accompany Keira who was still reading the paper. Evan slowly smiled to himself, he took his cell phone then secretly stole a photo of Keira. A few minutes later Keira suddenly threw a paper in her hand.

"I can't concentrate! All right, let's get out!" Keira surrenders.

Evan looked at Keira in confusion.

**

Keira and Evan walk in a shop near Evan's apartment. They walked without talking until Keira stopped at a park.

"I'm tired, " said Keira and sat down on a bench.

"All right, we're resting." Evan sat down.

Keira looked at Evan who was also looking at her. The two remained silent until Keira gave up and started talking.

"I'm tired of us like this" Keira said seriously.

"What do you want to talk about?" ask Keira again.

"Ah? What's?" Evan is misbehaved because Keira immediately guesses the target.

"You're not taking me out to see the streets, are you?" ask Keira.

Evan scratched his head, confused to explain his point to Keira.

"Don't waste the sacrifice of those three kids giving us talk time." Keira stared at the street.

"You know?" Evan looked at Keira in amazement.

***

"Why am I doing this? Follow your crazy idea!" Adrian swearing.

The three of them were in a minimarket, circling to choose unclear food.

"Are they going out?" tanya Nada while remembering Evan who often acts stupid.

"It could be that Brother Evan failed to persuade Brother."

"But Brother is not that stupid. He must know we left them on purpose." Dizza.

"Hey, don't fuss about them, now think about my starving stomach!" Adrian protest.

Tone and Dizza laughed.

***

"Navigator ...."

"Hm ...."

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry ...." Evan finally started the conversation.

"I shouldn't have left you ..."

"You didn't leave me. You were there and you helped me." Keira interrupted.

Evan looked at Keira who was staring far ahead.

"You know, when I saw you, I was really embarrassed. I know you must have been mistaken and hurt. I'm really embarrassed." Keira said softly.

Evan held Keira's talking hand.

"I'm afraid you're wrong to judge me. I'm afraid you ...." Keira did not continue.

"I'm not leaving you, you idiot!" Evan hits Keira on the forehead.

"www!" Keira screamed because Evan's punch hit a blister on her forehead.

"Sorry...." Evan panicked and immediately checked Keira's forehead.

They are in a very close distance. Evan looked at Keira's face, Keira looked back at him.

"Before I check, I need to make sure once again, have you forgiven me?" ask Evan.

"I forgive you, what you want to check ...."

Keira's sentence is interrupted by Evan's kiss. Evan kisses her gently, Keira is surprised, she pushes Evan, but Evan doesn't let go.

"I want to check my place in your heart." Evan whispers and kisses Keira again, Keira does not answer and does not refuse. He kisses Evan.

***

The three young men returned to the empty apartment. There are only Keira files left out.

"They're really gone." Adrian amazement.

Nada and Dizza put the papers out. He took a report and read it.

"Why do you look serious?" ask Nada.

Dizza frowned.

"I never went to the office. I really don't understand what this report means. Ah, why is Brother so great." Dizza.

"Why do you two deify your brother so much?" adrian asked annoyed.

Tone and Dizza looked at him sharply.

"If anyone is willing to sacrifice his life for you, do you not worship him?" ask Dizza upset.

"Alright, alright ... Here I teach you how to read it." Adrian pulled the report.

A laughing tone saw the two of them then passed into the room.

"You two go on, I'm sleepy!" shout Tone.

Dizza looked seriously at Adrian.

Keira and Evan walk home. If when they go they walk alone in a hurry, now when they go home they join hands and walk slowly.

"I must thank Nada. He reminds me of my stupidity" said Evan.

Keira laughed and told me about Dizza.

"Dizza reminds me. They've both been working hard."

Keira stopped her steps and looked at Evan. "Evan, thank you for taking care of Zea all this time."

Evan smiled and touched Keir's cheek.

Keira was silent looking at Evan who was still staring at him.

"I know you must know, but you're pretending you don't know, right?" Evan was wrong.

Keira smiled then she kissed Evan slowly and in an instant, her cheeks flushed red.

Evan looked at Keira's face.

"What does that mean?" ask Evan.

"I know you'll know, but you're pretending you don't know, right?" Keira repeats Evan's words and runs to leave Evan.

Evan laughed then chased after Keira and hugged her from behind.

"Jawab Kei, you love me, right?"

Keira was still laughing then embracing Evan and whispering in his ear, "Hmm, there's still a lot you have to do if you want to hear me say it."

"Whatis that? What am I supposed to do? I must have done it."

Keira did not reply, she still embraced Evan's arm which kept bothering her.

"What, Keira?" evan asked as he tickled Keira's waist who only responded with a laugh.

Is this the cure for a liver injury?

I don't even know which part he's treating.

He just confessed his heart.

And I don't know why it makes me forget the pain of getting hurt.

****

Tone is staring in front of the TV.

"What's Zea?" Keira sat down next to Nada and touched her hand.

"Are you heartbroken? Don't you have a boyfriend?" Dizzie asked wickedly.

Keira nudged Dizza and glared at him.

"My heart's been broken ever since I found out that I was an illegitimate child." Tone says slowly.

Keira and Dizza fell silent for a moment.

"I'm not sad. I just feel funny." Nada added.

"We're all the same." Keira comforts.

"Yes, the three of us are both illegitimate." Dizza misinterpreted Keira's words.

What Keira means is illegitimate child or not is the same. But Dizza thought of something else, Keira was a bit surprised.

"Sister was born out of wedlock. Mom and Dad weren't married when you were born, right? My mother gave birth to me when I was married, but I'm not the son of the man she married."

Dizza said the facts while laughing.

"Well, that's life. We cannot choose who we are born to, how we are born. What matters now is how we move on!" Keira cheered on her two younger siblings.

"Example is re-establishing a broken romantic relationship!" Dizza.

Keira throws a pillow at Dizza's head.

"Nad, it looks like you need some entertainment." Dizzie said seriously.

"By my company in Singapore, yes, we are on vacation, and you take some of your leftovers."

"The company's critical, you're on vacation?" ask Keira pretending to be upset.

"What I care about the company. I have my own money, not from the company." Dizza answered haughtily.

"All right, I agree." Tone reached out to Dizzah, Dizzah shook him.

Keira held the hands of her two sisters.

"Are you not taking Brother?"

"NO!" Both answered in unison.

"Sister doesn't need entertainment, right, there's already Brother Evan." Dizza answered.

Keira hit Dizza's arm so hard that Dizza shouted.

"Sister also has to take care of the company, right?" Chiming tone.

"Okay, okay. But are you sure you're not gonna fight all day?" Keira recalled how these two humans nearby hated each other.

"If Evan's older brother and sister, who are more trouble-free, can reunite, why can't we?"

Keira begins to bleed as they continue to offend her relationship with Evan. He felt ashamed. He will give an ultimatum when Evan comes to bring food. Keira is wrong.

Nada and Dizza laughed at them.

"Sister, as long as we're gone Brother stay at home huh." Dizza.

"Yes." Yeah." Keira replied casually.

"Seriously, Brother. Don't stay here if there's no me!" Tone threatening.

Keira looked at her two sisters in frustration. He picked up a book and asked.

"Will I talk again?"

Nada and Dizza immediately ran in fear.

Evan looked at the three in confusion.

"Aren't you going to eat?" ask Evan.

Keira looked at Evan and replied annoyed.

"I don't want to eat!"

"Why are you mad at me?" evan asked in surprise while putting food on the table.

"Sorry." Keira took a breath, she subconsciously vented her anger at the wrong person.

"Come here. We eat." Evan reached out his hand to invite Keira to sit down.

Keira hesitantly accepts his hand but as Evan is impatient he pulls Keira until she loses her balance and falls on Evan on the sofa.

"What are you guys doing?" tanya Dizza and Nada with a flat tone but pierced Keira and Evan. Keira hurried to her feet then passed leaving Evan scratching his head.

"Egh, not intentionally." Evan answered the questions of Keira's two sisters who were looking at him sharply.

"Be aware that Big Brother took a wholeness when we weren't around!" Tone threatens Evan and then pulls Dizza.

"Unless he is willing ..." continued Dizza who immediately stopped his speech because hit by a sizzling tone upset.

Evan was silent in the living room calming himself down while in the room Keira was also busy calming down his pounding heart.
