No Rose Without A Thorn's

Destinies

Keira's family is in the fog looking for her whereabouts. Police have not yet given results. Evan, Adrian, and Kusuma are looking to various places where it is possible.

Kusuma mustered every means to track down his daughter's whereabouts.

Dizza tried to contact Bara, but Bara's phone number was off.

Dizza used every means to figure out Bara's whereabouts. He was informed that Bara was abroad. Dizza kept trying to get himself to talk to Bara.

Kusuma came to Wijaya's house.

Wijaya Dermawan who knows nothing offended with Kusuma's suspicions.

"Why are you looking for your daughter here?" Wijaya Dermawan was astonished. But Kusuma followed his heart.

"Can I meet your wife?" ask Kusuma.

"Sorry my wife isn't home."

"Since when?"

"Why do you want to know? My wife went to ...."

"Master, Madam called."

Wijaya looked at Kusuma. He picked up his wife's phone in front of Kusuma so the man wouldn't suspect her.

"What's wrong?" ask Wijaya.

Suddenly Wijaya's face stiffened.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Wijaya turned off the phone and immediately ran ordering his men to pick up the car. He took Kusuma away.

"Please don't report my wife. We're gonna go save them both!"

"Where's my daughter?!" Kusuma.

Wijaya invites him to go together but Kusuma still asks him to give an address hoping Evan and Adrian can first save Keira.

*

Evan and Adrian immediately turn the car switch to the address given Kusuma. They also contacted the police despite Wijaya's repeated plea to keep him secret from the police.

They entered a quiet and dark area, with no settlements and no lighting.

"Van, it's a fire! Don't-don't ...."

Adrian stepped on the gas deeply. They jumped out of the car.

"Van, this is the only house in question."

They went around inspecting the already half-burned house while shouting to call out to Keira. Evan and Adrian tried to break down the door.

Thick smoke filled the house. Evan and Adrian are still trying to find Keira, but are invisible.

They're coughing.

Adrian called the fire department. The police have arrived outside and have asked the two to leave the house immediately.

The fire came from behind and continued to spread. Evan and Adrian search the room and do not find Keira, they continue to look down against the smoke until finally Adrian saw the figure of Keira crawling near the door of the room.

"Sister!" Adrian called haru.

Keira saw both. He couldn't scream, he tried to crawl.

"Hurry out, brother!" Adrian screaming. Evan wants to get close to Keira but Adrian forbids him.

"Danger, Van!"

Evan brushed Adrian aside, he didn't care, he pierce through the smoke and grabbed Keira who was smiling looking at him.

"Keira!"

Keira could not answer Evan because the next second he fell unconscious.

Evan rushed Keira out of the house.

"Keira!Keira!" Evan patted Keira on the face, trying to resuscitate her. He cried to see Keira full of wounds and bruises.

"Sister, wake up, brother!" Adrian tried to wake Keira up.

"Keira!" Evan releases Keira's hand from the rope that ties her and attempts to wake Keira up.

"What?" suddenly Keira answered.

Evan hugged Keira with haru.

Adrian was crying. He did not expect to meet people who managed to survive many times from disasters like Keira.

Evan is completely unwilling to let go of Keira's hand even though the medical team has come to bring Keira out of power. He continued to hold it until Keira was taken to the examination room at the hospital.

****

Keira had bruises on some parts of his body and cuts on the palms. The rest is fine. Just blisters at some point.

He can even still joke that his face is still safe to do prewedding photos.

"Prewedding? You kidding?" asked Evan. He almost dies worrying about his future wife who is on the verge of burning in the house, and Keira instead worries about their prewedding session.

"Did you know you almost died?" ask Evan.

"There's no prewedding! What matters is your recovery!"

Keira immediately scowled, "I don't want to get married without prewedding photos!"

The whole room looked at him confused especially Evan who suddenly panicked because he was afraid his future wife was angry.

"Okay, later after you get better." Evan relented while stroking Keira's hair making the woman smile happily and her two sisters looked at each other with disgust.

"Why did Brother become spoiled?" whispered Nada.

"Hush, maybe he's actually a mild concussion, '" replied Dizza.

Police entered the room to question Keira. Keira answered everything as he experienced.

"Is that woman crazy?" evan asked in anger.

"Did the police find him?" ask Keira.

"Yes, he's been arrested."

Keira doesn't react, she worries about Bara.

Kusuma did not want to compromise, he continued to report Mrs Wijaya. His case even stuck out to the public and made business people who knew the two families excited. How could such a cruel woman burn her son's former fiancee?

"Keira, don't be agitated anymore." Mother calms Keira.

"No, I'm just kinda ...."

"Don't worry about anything anymore." Evan immediately hugged Keira, not caring about the presence of others in the room.

"Yes, thank you," Keira replied again making the whole room look at each other.

"Sister, has Brother done a deep wound examination?" tanya Dizza was worried because she felt Keira's behavior had suddenly changed.

"It has. Brother's fine."

Keira sat leaning on the hospital bed, next to her Evan who had taken off his arms, cut an apple and fed it to Keira.

"I can't imagine what would happen if Evan and Adrian were late." Goosebumps.

"Of course you are now mourning Brother!" Keira answered the origin. Evan glared at Keira.

"Sorry ..." Keira.

"The woman is crazy!" Cussing tone.

"It's a good thing you're not his son-in-law!" Lestari grateful.

"Are you grateful that I married her now?" Keira teases.

"You!" Lestari was annoyed and looked at Evan.

"Let you always save her. Thank you." Thank you." I said to Evan. Keira smiled at her mother.

"Does this hospital not limit the number of visits?" Keira asked.

"What do you mean?" ask Lestari.

Keira smiled and looked at her family one by one.

"Can you all go home and not worry about me?"

"No!" I'm still worried about Keira.

"I want to talk to Evan, " said Keira, driving the others away.

"What do you want to talk about?" ask Evan after all gone.

"Come here, so that you may hear it more clearly." Keira said seriously.

Evan approached the side of the bed, tensely waiting for Keira's words.

Keira looked at him then she grabbed Evan's head kissing him suddenly.

"Don't you miss me?" keira asked with a wink and kissed Evan in shock.

"Hey, you're still sick!" Evan broke away.

"You rejected me?!" ask Keira. Evan looked at her and smiled.

"How can I refuse you?" Evan kissed Keira back as if he did not want to escape.

"Weird how?" keira asked, now he hugged Evan's arm.

"Yes .. You don't usually act like this."

"Nobody like it?"

"No!" Evan hurriedly corrected.

"Who doesn't like to be hugged like this? It's just ...."

"When I was surrounded by smoke and thought I was going to die, I remembered all my family and you. I just feel sad because we haven't been back in a long time and .. I miss you so much immediately."

Evan smiled then he looked back at Keira. "I miss you too. Hmm, it's still missing now, so ..."

Keira did not wait for Evan to continue, she wrapped her hands around Evan's neck and then sipped her lips again.

They were only separated for less than 24 hours, but somehow Keira felt like she missed Evan so much. So did Evan. They were still treating each other longing, not caring for a surprised nurse and running out.

***

Evan stood up wrongly while Keira sat down on the bed. Kusuma stood folding his hands on the chest between the two.

"As far as my eyesight Keira still hurts, you can be ...."

"I'm sorry. I...."

"Eff ... Dad ...." Keira ventured to interrupt but Kusuma spoke again.

"out! I want to talk to Keira."

Evan looked at Keira who was nodding small, though agitated she slowly left Keira with Kusuma.

Keira twisted her fingers, still ducking. To be honest she was a little embarrassed at Kusuma because they were still kissing when Kusuma suddenly walked into her room and gave a startled cry. The two of them let go of each other after hearing Kusuma's scream. "What are you guys doing?!"

"Hm ... Father ... Sorry ...."

"How are you doing?" ask Kusuma.

Keira looked up at Kusuma who was standing nearby.

"I'm okay. I'm ...."

"How can it be okay?" Kusuma slowly touched Keira's bruised hand.

"It doesn't hurt, it does."

Kusuma fell silent then looked at Keira as the girl continued her words again, "Sick, anyway, a little, but that's okay. I'm fine."

"Dad touch this, are you okay?" ask Kusuma suddenly.

Keira silently did not answer but when Kusuma pulled his hand, Keira suddenly grasped it. Kusuma looked into Keira's eyes looking at him.

"Can, right, once in a while I hold Dad like this?" ask Keira.

Kusuma fell silent and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"When I felt like I was going to die for the second time, I remembered Dad. I never hugged my real father."

Kusuma fell silent, then remembered the events that happened thirteen years ago.

Since the beginning of reuniting with Lestari and Keira, Kusuma had no chance to get close to Keira who kept his distance.

"Don't tell Keira the truth about who her real father really is. I want to get closer to him." Kusuma told Lestari who agreed to Kusuma's suggestion because she knew Keira had trouble accepting the situation. Keira doesn't even want to accept the fact that her mother remarried. When she finds out that her mother has lied about her biological father, Lestari fears Keira will run amok and leave.

But Kusuma failed to get close to Keira because both Kusuma and Keira were cold to each other. Kusuma does not know how to approach his daughter who already thinks he is a bad man who likes to play the heart of women.

Every time Kusuma gave me a gift or a luxury facility, Keira didn't seem to care.

A few months later, an event took the honor of Keira who was too young at the time.

Seeing Keira crying hysterically and fainting repeatedly during the doctor's treatment made Kusuma deeply saddened and enraged beyond measure. She was much more beaten when trying to hug to calm Keira but her daughter became more hysterical and did not stop screaming. Doctors say Keira is still traumatized by being touched by a stranger.

"I'm not a foreigner. I'm his real father!" Kusuma screamed in anger.

"Kusuma, relax. Keira doesn't know that you're her father. Please don't be like this. He's traumatized, understand!" Lestari's crying.

"I just want to calm him down .. I'm his father ...." Kusuma involuntarily sat down and cried with Lestari who did not know how to heal Keira's heart wound.

Without Keira knowing, Kusuma did everything he could to heal her. They finally agreed to take Keira abroad for treatment.

Kusuma even fired all their employees at the house and when Keira returned, they all moved to a new house so that Keira could forget the trauma. Kusuma also got rid of Evan because he did not want Keira to return to the actions of Hans who was Evan's brother.

Keira could slowly live a normal life but she kept her distance from Kusuma as she still considered him to be someone else. Unwilling to add to Keira's mind, Kusuma relented, allowing his true identity as a biological father to remain a secret.

"Can I hug Dad once?" pinta Keira breaks Kusuma's daydream.

Twenty-nine years have passed since Keira was born, she never once had the chance to hug her daughter

The man looked back at Keira then slowly approached and hugged Keira tightly.

"Keira, I'm sorry." Kusuma.

"For?" ask Keira wonder.

"For everything that happens in your life. It's all Dad's fault."

Keira smiled but Kusuma did not see her, the girl tightened her embrace.

"Dad, I'm sorry I always thought you were the bad guy."

Kusuma fell silent, the recesses of his heart as if pierced by hot iron. Her biological daughter considered her a bad person.

"But I finally knew I was wrong. My father was my father who tried to protect me. Forgive my attitude all this time. Can we start from the beginning?"

Kusuma remained silent.

"I love Dad. Thank you for everything you've done for me and my mom."

Kusuma tightened his embrace and the cold-hearted man shed his tears. His heart instantly warmed, slowly he rubbed Keira's head.

"I'm sorry, Son." Kusuma muttered softly. She still hugged Keira even when Lestari suddenly entered and was surprised to see the two, Kusuma had not yet released Keira.

Lestari's tears slowly fell looking at the rare sight before her, thirteen years long she waited for Keira to open her heart to accept Kusuma as her father. Not only as a biological father, as a stepfather all this time Keira was reluctant to accept Kusuma.

"Dad misses you, Keira. Twenty-nine years I've been waiting for a chance to hug you like this." Kusuma finally confesses his feelings for Keira who also shed tears.

Slowly Kusuma let go of Keira then looked into her eyes, she smiled. He patted Keira's arm slowly and then he stood up but Keira still held his hand.

"Dad, thank you." Keira said her words sincerely while smiling sweetly. Kusuma lowered his head then suddenly kissed Keira's head for a moment before finally leaving without saying anything more.

Kusuma left the room in silence even passing through Lestari just like that but his smile slowly expanded. His heart immediately felt relieved and warmed. For the first time he realized that he needed the smile of Keira, his biological son, more than his company.

**

Keira looked at herself in the mirror standing in her simple wedding dress. Everything went well and just like that.

Just like that and now we're officially married.

Keira laughed at herself who had gone through many painful things to arrive at this stage. Married to Evan. And when God granted his prayers for the marriage to go smoothly, he was a little surprised, so accustomed to many disasters that alternated.

"Hey, are you contemplating again?" Evan looked at Keira who in his eyes looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Evan approached and held Keira's hand.

"Do you feel like a dream?" ask Evan.

"Hmmm .. yaaah like that ..." Keira acknowledged.

"me too. After everything that happened, I feel like this is a dream." Evan smiles.

Keira looked at Evan then as usual, Evan could not look at Keira's face without kissing her.

"To make sure this isn't a dream!" Evan.

Keira laughed but did not refuse, they continued until Keira realized that if not stopped Evan could ruin their appearance and show.

"They must be looking for us." Keira pushed Evan.

"Let's go see them."

"Wait a minute." Keira opened the nightstand drawer and took out a rose clip.

"Still remember our promise, right?" ask Keira.

Evan smiled then took the flower clip, pinned it on Keira's hair, looked at her for a moment and then kissed her forehead.

"I will always remember that life is full of thorns, but I will always be patient for the rose before me."

Keira looks up and smiles and replies, "I love you."

"I love you more." Evan reached out his hand, Keira looked at him then extended her hand as well to hold each other. They joined hands and went out to meet the invited guests.

No one can deny that they look so happy.

Everyone was happy to see it.

After everything we've been through, we've finally gotten married.

I know I'm happy, but I know this isn't the end of the story.

Because we're still living our lives, our story won't stop just from getting married.

Far ahead, there will be many obstacles.

I know and I'm still scared.

But when I see her next to me, I think I'll be fine.

Because no matter what happens, he's with me.
