No Rose Without A Thorn's

Marrying

"Tell me the truth." Lestari sat before Keira and Evan who kept denying.

"I'm not pregnant, Mom." Keira explained.

"Sister, just confess."

Keira looked at her two younger siblings with an expression of wanting to swallow them. When that mess happened, another mess came. Someone's dropping off a young mango from Dizza's order.

"Who ate the young mango?" ask Lestari.

Dizza pointed at Keira carefully.

Lestari goes berserk and berates Evan.

"Didn't his father give you a warning to look after him? Why are you so stupid?" Lestari nagging.

"Mrs, Keira's not pregnant." Evan spoke again.

Lestari ended up throwing the pregnant mother's nutrition pack on the table.

"Mom found this in your room!" Lestari pointed at Keira. Evan looked at Keira in confusion.

"I forgot to throw it away" Keira whispered but the others heard him.

"How can you not take care of yourself like this? You should be able to hold back or at least use some security!"

GLAKES!

Keira and Evan throw their faces at each other. Her mother was so outrageous, Lestari realized it. Lestari turned her head and saw Nada and Dizza were mistaken to hear it.

"You guys get out." Lestari asked her two daughters to come out.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Lestari apologized.

Keira won't talk. He was upset with his mother.

"Navigator ...."

"I'm not pregnant Mom!" Keira said seriously.

"Don't insist, and don't think of aborting it."

Keira seems to be starting to get depressed.

"Mrs, Keira is not pregnant. We never even did what the lady alleged. Keira can't be pregnant right now because she's keeping herself until we're married!" Evan gave an explanation.

Lestari. He looked at his daughter who was still throwing her face.

"Do you want me to buy a test pack now?" ask Keira

"But ..." Lestari confused herself.

Evan finally told me the real story. After Evan finished telling the story, Lestari fell silent and laughed out loud.

"You are so outrageous ...."

"Mom believed it, right?" ask Keira. Lestari nodded then looked at Keira annoyed.

"Bad child, destroy Mother's hope. I thought, I'm really going to get a grandchild."

Keira and Evan go back wrong.

****

Finally Nada and Dizza find out the truth about Keira's pregnancy. They feel annoyed to be lied to but also apologize for mistakenly thinking Keira is pregnant.

"But honestly I'm very grateful to you. You guys really love Keira." Evan shuffles the hair of Keira's two sisters.

Keira laughed and went with Evan to the apartment to get his bag.

The atmosphere of the apartment was very quiet because Aunt Ani only came when called.

Keira made a drink for Evan who was sitting on the chair. He looked at Evan who was laughing watching a cartoon.

Keira handed over her drink and sat down next to Evan.

"Please forgive my mother." Keira feels bad for Evan. Evan looked at Keira and laughed.

"I'm okay" Evan said and went back to watching. Keira leaned herself on the sofa, subconsciously her hand pressed the TV remote. The channel switched to a drama where the scene was two human children kissing.

Keira was shocked then he immediately pressed the button, wanted to change another channel. Because in a hurry he even pressed the volume button until the impression was noiseless at all.

The atmosphere was instantly silent with a TV screen displaying an adult scene. Evan looked at Keira who to him was much prettier than the drama cast before him. Evan approaches, he grabs Keira and kisses her lips. Keira closed her eyes.

And how far can I survive?

Keira resigned if finally he had to fail to keep the principle. Keira hugged Evan.

Evan looked at Keira's face and smiled.

"Let's take you home, before I lose consciousness."

Keira looked at Evan and smiled. He looked at Evan who immediately stood up to get his bag and waited for him outside the door.

I know why I love him so much.

Keira was lying sideways in her room when Lestari went inside. Lestari put a drink on the nightstand and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Navigator ...." Lestari patted Keira on the back.

"Yes, Mom."

"Why don't you just get married?" ask Lestari, surprise Keira.

"I'm not pregnant, Mom." Keira replied.

"That's exactly ...."Lestari was still patting Keira on the back.

"You are adult human beings who love each other. How long will you be in a relationship with lovers? Did you give your blessing?"

"Resident?" Keira turned.

"Did Evan not tell you?"

Keira shook her head while Lestari smiled.

"Mom's not forcing, but just suggesting that you get married soon."

Keira looked at her mother and then smiled.

Keira lay back down and thought. He remembered everything they had experienced. On his side, he did not have any reason to delay the marriage. She loves Evan and has no more obstacles to living with him.

But how will he deliver to Evan? Getting married is not an easy thing that you can ask for.

Keira covered her head with a pillow.

Should I ask her to marry me?

****

Some judged Keira to have a performance worthy of consideration, others considered Keira to be incompetent in the job. They decided to vote next week.

Kusuma is back as director in the office, Dizza breathes a sigh of relief because he can regain control of his Cafe.

Dizza looked at Keira who was once again pondering.

"Nr ...."

"Hm ...."

"Does Brother worry about the vote?"

Keira shakes.

*I'm more worried about my future. How am I gonna ask Evan to marry me?

"Sister, why don't you just get married?" ask Dizza.

Keira jerks. That's what he's thinking, but he can't possibly say it.

"Why did you say it?Is it because Big Brother will soon become unemployed so Big Brother will have to find a life support?" Keira laughed and Dizza laughed.

"I'm serious, brother. Get married and live happily."

Keira looked at Dizzah.

Does this kid think asking someone to marry you is like asking for candy?

Although both have a taste of both sweet but really it is two things that are much different.

"You love each other, don't you? Just marry me. You're, right, two grown creatures."

Keira did not reply, she covered her face with the magazine she was holding.

***

Keira is helping Evan rearrange Lets Read. All the employees had already gone home leaving the two of them still moving some books.

Nada and Dizza who saw the two were still busy, came to help.

"Why not wait until tomorrow when another employee arrives?" Dizzie complained.

"The plan tomorrow morning will be directly repainted. If we wait for tomorrow, the painting will be delayed. You guys just go home." Evan gave an explanation.

"You're home too." Evan talked to Keira.

"I'm unemployed now so I'm going to work here." Keira.

"Aren't you going to work here?" ask Nada.

"Of course." Keira smiled.

"Who will accept you?" Evan asked teasingly.

"I'm not in a state of need for a new employee."

Keira slammed the book she was carrying with annoyance then as usual because of her carelessness she slipped and fell.

"Silver .. beware !"

Dizza. Keira wakes up but she feels her hand hurt.

"Are you okay?" ask Evan.

Keira did not answer, he again tried to lift some thick encyclopedias.

"Ehhhh put that down!" Evan yells.

Keira's shocked. "It's too heavy!" said Evan.

Keira changed to want to push a box, Evan again shouted.

"Leave it!"

Keira left the box in annoyance.

"Why you?" ask Keira annoyed. Evan approached frivolously speaking in a tone no less upset. "Don't I see your hand hurt?"

Evan asks Keira to give up her flushed left hand.

"You seen him?" Keira's cheeks are flushed.

Evan rubbed Keira's hand gently and slowly.

"If you keep going like this, when will this work be done?" ask Nada.

Keira suddenly felt embarrassed. He'll be back at work when Evan yells again .

"You, just sit there!"

Keira did not heed, she again picked up the books.

Evan approached again and nagged.

"Why don't you listen to me?"

"I'm okay." Keira answered briefly.

"But your hand is ...."

"If Evan loves our beloved brother so much, why not just marry him and bring him home instead of making a fuss by working together like this?" dizza said, lifting up the books.

"Yes right. You better get married." Chest without guilt.

Keira dropped the book in her hand unconsciously.

"Married?" Evan repeated those words.

Evan looked at Keira who was pretending to compose a book.

"Married on the will of two parties. Not one-sided." Said Evan again.

"Do you not want to get married?Or does anyone not want to get married?" Dizza.

"Don't want to get married, but not ready." Evan. Keira jerks. He found the answer, Evan was not ready.

"Why do you keep talking? When's it finished?" Keira interrupts, not wanting to talk about marriage.

"I don't think anyone's unprepared. Could it be because Brother Evan did not dare to reveal it?" Nada is still curious.

Keira and Evan heard it. Evan looked at Keira, he was agitated. He walked away from Keira and unexpectedly returned.

"Keira, how about we get married?" ask Evan.

Keira flinched the second time.

Is this guy going crazy?
