No Rose Without A Thorn's

The Devil's Envy

Keira was reading a magazine in Evan's room. He accompanied Evan who was at work. Evan fiddles with the computer while fanning his hot body because the air conditioner is dead.

"Keira, aren't you hot?" ask Evan.

"Hmm, yeah ...." Keira answered at all.

Keira was seriously reading an article while standing up, one hand wagging her clothes due to the heat.

Evan looked at Keira and suddenly his heart was pounding. Somehow he felt Keira was very charming and made him unable to hold her. Evan stood up and hugged Keira from behind.

"How many more days is our wedding?" evan asked while peeping Keira's head.

"Why are you bothering me? Aren't you busy?"

"You're the one who's bothering me!" Evan hugged Keira.

"I? I'm even just standing here!"

"That's the problem, you're just standing up but you're interfering with my view!"

Keira turned to look at Evan's face.

"You're interrupting my concentration! Why are you standing here and seducing me?" ask Evan.

Keira laughed, she kissed Evan's cheek.

"Don't start." Keira tries to escape but Evan does not want to let go.

"In a moment, I want to hold you in a moment."

Keira smiled, letting Evan hug her while she finished reading the article she was holding.

Evan was still hugging and kissing Keira's hair, he felt that if he continued to hug Keira like this, he would definitely lose control.

"Have you?" keira asked while looking at her watch.

"I have to go. I have an appointment with mom."

Evan took Keira off after successfully kissing her lips.

"Go, the longer you're here, the hotter I get." Evan kicked Keira out.

Keira laughed, she tidied her hair and walked away, but when she stopped at the door, she looked up at Evan.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" ask Evan.

"So, I just feel hard to go."

"Go away. Your mother can kill me if you stay here longer!"

Keira laughed, she waved her hand and left.

*

Keira hummed in heart. He feels very happy. In two weeks he will be married. Not a fancy wedding, but a special wedding because he will marry Evan. Keira drives her car cheerfully to meet her mother in Paris Love.

Beeps. Beeps.

Keira's phone is shaking.

"Yes ma'am, I'm on my way ... The crept?I have to rotate again .. okay fine."

Keira turns off the phone and turns the wheel. Lestari asks him to take a deposit at the perfume shop.

Keira stopped a few blocks from the perfume shop. He had to walk a few meters before reaching the intended perfume shop and took Lestari's daycare.

"Pay?" ask Keira wonder.

The officer holding Lestari's bag smiled.

"How much?" ask Keira again.

The officer mentioned a number of numbers.

"Wait a minute, my phone and wallet were left in the car. My mother didn't say I had to pay. Sorry ..." Keira smiled.

The officer smiled kindly. The store owner who recognizes Keira as the daughter of one of her shop customers offers to have Keira take her mother's custody, payment issues can be anytime.

The shop owner knew Lestari well.

"If you don't bring money, take it first." The friendly woman thrust out Lestari's pocket.

Keira shakes.

"I took him in the car. Wait a minute, I'll be back."

The woman smiled again.

"Why won't he take her first?" one of the store employees asked in surprise.

"According to her mother, the girl often felt distasteful towards others. He must have felt bad about carrying things without paying. Soon she will be married, do you know she broke off her engagement to the heir to a large company and married the bookstore owner. His mother even told him proudly."

"Was his family not angry?" the employee was gossiping.

"Eitherway. But if love and soul mate, nothing can separate. May the marriage be fine Because sometimes the devil likes to be envious of the happiness of others."

"But why did he come back so long?" The woman was astonished.

*

Keira returned to the car while grumbling at her mother. If he knew he had to pay, he would take his wallet out of the car. Keira just opened the car door when someone called her.

"Miss Keira?"

"Yes?"

Keira turned around and then gave a startled scream. The next moment he was unconscious.

***

Lestari waited anxiously for Keira. He thinks Keira's too late. He called Keira's phone but it wasn't answered.

Lestari finally called the perfume shop owner.

"Has my son taken my custody?"

"So he came here but didn't come back. He said he wanted to take the money in the car but didn't come back until now. I think he has a sudden need."

"Can I ask for help?"

"Say."

"I was nervous because he didn't answer my phone, could your employee check if his car was around? My daughter is sometimes careless ...."

"All right, no problem."

Lestari gave Keira the brand and license plate number. He's restless.

A few minutes later, Lestari's phone rang.

"Madam, sorry I said this. Your daughter's car is around here somewhere. The door is unlocked, the phone and wallet are in the car ...."

Lestari collapsed instantly. He was afraid something bad might happen.

****

Keira realized from the influence of drugs that were buried in his face. His head feels dizzy. He realized he was kidnapped. In his life this was the abduction to the many times he had experienced.

Keira did not feel surprised if he was in the warehouse again, but this time he was in a room. Hand tied.

Keira looked at her watch, it had been more than 4 hours since she disappeared. He believes his family must have started looking for his whereabouts.

"Hello, my beautiful son-in-law, how are you?" suddenly Mrs Wijaya entered with a smile.

Keira jerks.

"Mother?!"

"I'm not your mother!" Ny Wijaya snapped.

"I'm sorry Madam." Keira.

Ny Wijaya laughed.

"You're actually pretty smart."

"Mrs, what do you want?" ask Keira curiously.

"Of course, nothing." Ny Wijaya sat on the edge of the bed. Keira is still waiting. He looked at the middle-aged woman who was about to become his in-law. He did not think that this woman had a mental disorder.

"I just don't like to see you having fun on top of my son's suffering."

"Bara's? Why him? Is she okay?" Keira was worried.

THE PLAQUE!!

Mrs Wijaya doesn't like to see Keira's worries.

"Don't make a show of worrying about my son, worry about yourself!"

"I wonder why you left my son? It should be Bara who left you. It's not you who did it!"

Keira did not answer.

"ANSWER!"

"I don't love him."

Ny Wijaya looked at Keira and laughed.

"That's all?"

"You're a real plain girl. Then why leave it? If you don't love her, you can still be with her, right? I told you you didn't have to marry her. You are so outrageous, how dare you humiliate our family!"

"I'm sorry, Madam ...."

"Woman ******!" Mrs Wijaya slapped Keira again.

"I won't let you live happily!"

Ny Wijaya pulls Keira and he forces Keira to open her mouth. Keira did not know what Ny Wijaya wanted to put in his mouth, he just did not want to take it for granted.

Keira closed her mouth tightly. Mrs Wijaya slapped Keira so she could open her mouth. Keira tried her hardest

counteracts. The pill that Mrs Wijaya brought down disappeared.

Mrs Wijaya slapped her again, hit and even kicked Keira. One kick hit Keira's stomach.

Aaarggghhhhh Keira could not help but endure the pain in her stomach.

Mrs Wijaya did not stop. He kicked Keira many times. Keira couldn't hold it. His entire body felt unbearable pain but he was still conscious.

Mrs Wijaya shouted like a madman.

He pulled Keira's hair. Keira looked at Ny Wijaya who started to run away in her sight.

He did not understand how that woman could be so mad as to molest him.

"I wanted to give you some dope so you wouldn't notice when you're grilled in here. But you choose to enjoy it in a conscious state, that's your choice. Really when they find you, this will be shocking news!"

Mrs Wijaya just threw Keira. Keira hit the bed, then as if not satisfied Ny Wijaya threw Keira with a vase.

Keira watched as Ny Wijaya left. He lasted a few minutes until he heard the voices of Mrs Wijaya's men. They poured gasoline all over the room. Keira tried to stand up but fell because her hands were still tied, she could not walk.

Keira crawled with all her might to get out. He felt the fire start from the kitchen. Keira's scared. He just wanted to live, so he screamed for help.

No one heard it. He continued to crawl, not caring about the shards of the vase that hurt his hands and feet, he continued to crawl and grabbed the handle to stand.

I have to live.

I'll live.

I will definitely live

Aren't I getting married soon?

I know the devil hates me, but angels will definitely come to help..

Please save me...

Keira tried to get out of the partially burned house, coughing. His sight was blocked by smoke and his head was dizzy. Keira fell for the umpteenth time.

God, please let me live.
