No Rose Without A Thorn's

Epilogues

A year passed, life went on. Dizzie and Adrian start dating. Dizza has returned to her normal activities, wasting money. He did not want to work in the company and chose to help manage the Cafe with Nada.

Nada is back from Barista school, she comes with a man who chooses to follow her. They run a cafe together.

Keira and Evan's domestic life is still going as it is. Sometimes they still beat when they see each other. Sometimes they argue because they misunderstand. But as Dizza says, life is always full of misunderstandings. As long as we confess, apologize and forgive, everything will be fine.

Their lives are still the same as before, only the two without the presence of prospective baby. All family members agreed that no one would discuss the issue of heredity anymore near them.

Likewise with Keira and Evan, they choose not to enlarge the issue of offspring that they have not got even though the doctor says they are both fine.

But no matter how hard you try not to care, there are times when a woman's heart becomes agitated. Even though the husband has said it is not a problem even if they do not have it.

"Keira, what are you pondering?" Evan asked as he saw Keira speechlessly staring at the ceiling of the room. Evan was sleeping on Keira's lap sitting on the bed. They had just finished the battle tonight, and Keira could not close her eyes.

"I just remembered something."

"What's that?"

"Sometimes I think this is a curse."

"Curse?" Evan laughs.

"Yes, back when I was someone else's fiancee and they thought I was pregnant, I was so scared."

"Why are you scared?"

"Let's see, just imagine that I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I get pregnant, I'll be bound forever and have no chance of living with you."

Evan laughed again even though he understood Keira's fear.

"So I prayed that God wouldn't let me get pregnant!"

Silent. Evan held his breath.

"Did God grant it? I have prayed that prayer ...."

"How do you fix it?" Evan was intrigued by his wife's confession.

"Please allow me to conceive the child of the one I love!"

Evan smiled, his heart blossoming.

"What does the first prayer sound like?" Keira was suddenly a little crazy.

Evan wakes up and looks at Keira's face.

"Don't you know that God hears all prayers?"

"Yes. I know ...."

"When we pray, we only need to do one other thing."

"What's that?"

"trying. Since you have prayed then I will do the rest, trying my hardest!" evan said excitedly.

Keira laughed a little. Evan began to pull her back to lie down.

"Why do you always have so many alas ?" tanya keira pretended to be upset. Evan just grinned and then started to act, Keira just laughed.

He could never refuse.

***

Dizza and Nada noticed Keira who had recently looked uneasy. They know that Keira is hiding something. It's been a few days when I came to Lets Read, Keira didn't go into Evan's room, she would sit in the cafe. Today he has been sitting all day reading magazines, playing his cell phone, without eating a single bit.

"Sister, aren't you eating?"

"So, I don't want to eat."

"Is Brother sick?"

"A little not feeling well."

Dizza observed Keira's tired-looking face.

"Did you guys fight?" ask Dizzah carefully.

Keira shook her head, "We're fine."

But Dizza learned that couples who say 'fine' to others usually lie.

"Sister, do you want me to make something to eat?" Tone offers.

"Sushi, do you want to try?"

"As far as you are." Keira finally gave up.

A few minutes later Evan comes to take Keira home.

"Let's go home." Evan pulls Keira but Keira takes off her hand.

"Tone is making Sushi."

"Oh, I'm sorry. All right, we wait."

Keira looks agitated. Evan saw.

"Are you sick?" ask Evan to worry.

Keira wanted to answer but Nada came with a plate of Sushi.

"Good meal!" Nada and Dizza took each and asked Keira to also try it, Keira did not want to disappoint, she tried to take it.

UEEKKKSSS

Evan immediately follows Keira but Keira locks the door.

Evan banged on the door in worry.

"Why else Brother?" ask Nada.

"Either. Is there something he's hiding until he's nauseous like that?"

They didn't find an answer.

Keira sat in the bathroom, she didn't throw up but she didn't want to go out. He wants to come out when his stomach is really compromised and when his heart is really steady.

I cannot live in uncertainty. I have to make sure.

Keira closed her eyes still feeling worried and anxious, finally after praying she ventured to open her eyes.

"Sister, why brother?" Curious tone saw Keira sitting back down trembling.

"We're going to the doctor, okay?" Evan offers.

Keira shakes.

"I'm fine."

"But Brother doesn't look okay."

Dizza.

"I ... I...." Keira found her lips hard to open.

Evan was suddenly worried.

"Why you?" This time he asked in a sharp voice.

"I ...." Keira bit her lip.

"Van, I .. want .. eat mandarin oranges."

Instantly the three people who were waiting for Keira's words were shocked.

Keira looked at Evan who was looking at him in confusion then said quietly.

"A.ku.kos pregnant."

*****

Everyone was happy to hear about Keira's pregnancy. No exception Kusuma. He even came to Keira and Evan's house on the grounds of giving a gift. He just wanted to see his daughter. Dizza and Nada immediately pleaded with Keira and Evan to be allowed to donate one syllable.

Keira couldn't cover up her happiness.

Since the beginning of feeling nauseous and dizzy, he had thought that he was pregnant, but he did not dare to check himself. He was afraid that if his conjecture was wrong, so he was agitated for a few days. He bought a test pack but did not dare to test it. When he was at the cafe he just ventured to check it out.

Evan laughed at Keira's confession.

Keira immediately threw it with a pillow.

Evan grabbed Keira in his arms.

"Thank you for giving me everything" Evan said sincerely.

Keira tightened her embrace.

"Thank you for making me happy."

He unconsciously shed tears.

Rose without a thorn.

There is no rose without thorns.

There is no happiness without pain.

There can never be a life without laughter and tears.

Do not give up in the midst of pain and suffering, because happiness is waiting for its turn to come.

"Van ...." Keira suddenly whined

"Yes, Honey? What's up?"

"I want to ...."

"Want what? tell me, I'll look for him." Evan looked at Keira with sparkling eyes.

"You're cravings, right?" guess Evan.

Keira looked at Evan and laughed, "Do you know what this is called cravings?"

"Say what you want?" ask Evan.

Keira pulls Evan and whispers something making Evan's heart beat unnaturally but the next second he laughs and slowly lays Keira down.

"It's strange that my wife is this, but since this is your request, I won't turn her down." Evan ducked down and kissed her.

Keira chuckled and then muttered softly, "I love you, Van ...."

"I am too." Evan answered with a heart.
