No Rose Without A Thorn's

Families

Keira sat down uneasily, although Evan clasped his hand tightly under the table, his anxiety did not completely disappear.

Staring at the calmness that occurred at the dining table, making Keira even more unsettled. Keira's eyes moved looking at Kusuma and Lestari who were enjoying the food leisurely. Then his gaze turned towards Dizza and Nada. His two sisters sat in silence, probably just as tense as he was.

Suddenly Kusuma asked Lestari to call Nada for dinner together. When the woman froze, Kusuma lightly said a few words, "What's wrong if I invite the child? He's your son, Keira's sister."

Lestari is not not not happy, she is amazingly amazed to hear Kusuma's request but because she knows Kusuma's vengeful character, she is actually frightened if her husband hides other intentions. Lestari was unusually agitated, but out of respect and respect for Kusuma, she tried not to show her suspicion.

"Keira, why don't you eat?" ask Kusuma.

"Egh, i .... "

"If you don't like the food, you should say. You can deliver it to your mother or go straight to the kitchen, let them serve you the food you want."

"I like it, really," Keira replied trying to shake off her nervousness. Slowly he started trying to put food in his mouth.

"Dizza, Zea, why don't you guys eat?" lestari Tegur.

Kusuma turned to look at Dizza and Nada who immediately cut off the food.

"It's another meal, ma'am. Nice, right, Nad?" Dizza nudged the arm of Nada who stuttered assented.

"Zea, I invited you to come over because I wanted to talk about something," Kusuma said suddenly making Keira immediately put down her spoon.

Evan again squeezed Keira's hand to calm her down. Nada immediately grew nervous, but instead of looking at Kusuma, she looked at the restless Keira.

"I want you to stay with us here" Kusuma said to everyone's surprise.

"Well?" Dizzah who first interrupts.

"You don't mind, do you?" asked Kusuma to Dizza who immediately shook his head.

"I'm happy, Dad. But what's the reason? why suddenly?"

Silent tone did not react only his eyes were busy glancing at his mother and brother who were both voiceless.

Kusuma put down his spoon, took a drink and stood up.

"the reason? We're family, right?" kusuma said then left just like leaving the tension-filled dining table.

No one spoke because all were equally confused and agitated, they did not know what Kusuma's plan was.

"Zea, you want to stay here?" ask Lestari suddenly.

Nada looked at her mother and asked, "Mom wish I didn't?"

"Nrt ...." Keira reprimanded Nada who was instantly speechless.

"That's not what Mom meant, but ...."

"Ah, finally! I have long imagined this! Zea, I'll help you move your things tomorrow! Your room is next to mine!" dizza cheers cheerfully to reduce tension.

"Za!" Evan reprimands Dizza who seems to not understand the situation.

"Don't you like me here?" tanya Nada cynically looked at Evan.

"Not so, Nad, I'm ...."

Keira stood up and looked at Nada."Zea, meet Brother in the room," said Keira then hurried away from the dining table.

Nada looked at Lestari who wanted to talk but was detained because Nada had stood up following Keira's steps away from her.

"Where are you going?" keira asked as Nada sat beside her.

"Sorry, brother, I have a job."

Keira smiled then fell silent as a waiter came to serve tea and snacks.

"Eat first, Zea, you couldn't eat, right?"

Tone laughed, picked up a piece of biscuit and thrust into Keira's mouth, "Sister who can't eat, right?" tanyanya while forcing Keira to accept her bribe.

Keira was forced to chew biscuits in her mouth while smiling because Nada also chewed like her.

"Zea, you want to stay here?" ask Keira carefully.

"Don't mind?" ask Nada.

Still staring at Nada, Keira sat leaning back and laughed, "You know, Zea, finding you and staying with you again are two dreams that always haunt Big Brother. Even though you were declared dead in the past, Brother still always wished that we could live together again."

Nada leaned next to Keira and asked again, "Explain what is holding Big Brother's heart. I'll listen and weigh him down to decide what I should do."

Keira turned her head and smiled, "You still believe Big Brother, right?"

Keira closed her eyes, "If Big Brother knew what we should do this time."

Tone immediately laughed, "I believe in a person who doesn't even know what to do? That's right, brother. Come on, explain what's holding Big Brother's heart."

"Zea, sister just wants you to be safe and happy. For your safety you're safer staying here, but for your happiness, Brother doesn't know."

Nada picked up another piece of biscuit then casually chewed, sipping her tea also casually. During that time Keira only paid attention to him patiently because she knew the character of Nada since childhood was to test her patience.

"I want to live near Brother ..." said

Nada finally while looking at Keira who did not react, "But if my presence disturbs Big Brother ...."

"Why should Brother feel disturbed by the presence of his sister?" ask Keira wonder.

Tone did not reply, his head was too full by various possibilities until Keira nudged his arm.

"Zea, Brother is calmer when you see ...."

Tone did not listen to Keira, he was busy pondering over the commotion he created at the Baksoro house last time.

After enjoying his dinner, Nada overhears Baskoro's voice with Leah still plotting a crime of seizing all Kusuma's belongings.

Because of the shock, Nada accidentally nudged the vase to fall and made a noise.

Baskoro immediately met him with a sharp look.

"What are you doing?" tanyanya cold.

"You still plan on hurting Brother?"

"Your mother didn't teach you the manners to not eavesdrop on other people's conversations?!" snapped Leah.

"Blessed to be born from the seed of a criminal, my mother half forgot that I was her son!"

Leah asked, "Then why do you still call her mother and defend her beloved son?"

Tada was stunned because he heard the word beloved child. She loves Keira as sincerely as she is but the fact that only her brother is considered a child by Lestari still hurts her heart.

"Zea, forget them. Stay here with Dad."

"Dad?" Zea looked up at Baskoro.

"You call yourself a father when you made me born into the world not out of love! You destroyed my mother too me!"

Baskoro was silent until Nada moved to leave and she shouted.

"I made you because I love your mother, the one who broke my heart. Your mother gave me no other choice then!"

Tone stopped his steps and then looked back at Baskoro and Leah who were sculpting.

"Love? Then why would this woman be able to give birth to another demon from your seed? The demon you possessed to desecrate big sister, the daughter you said you loved?" nada's screams bring up Hans, Baskoro's biological son with Leah who could have stained Keira when he was a teenager.

Baskoro fell silent as did Leah who chose to leave after soundlessly destroying the other two vases.

"You're just a greedy demon, I'm not your son!" The shrieking tone rejected the fact that the blood flowing in his body was Baskoro's blood.

"Whatever you refuse, you are still my son! The person you refer to as big brother does not deserve you to call as big brother, he is only concerned with his own happiness. Zea, awake!"

"Zee!" Keira nudged Nada then checked her forehead as Nada looked trembling.

"You sick, Ze?" ask Keira worriedly.

Tone turned his head and immediately hugged Keira tightly.

"Sister, I'm your family, right? I'm your sister, right?" tanyanya daze.

"What are you talking about, Zea? You're my brother!" Keira let go of Nada's hug as she wanted to check on her suddenly warmed up body but Nada re-hugged her.

"Don't let go, I ...."

"Why are you, Zea?" keira asked suspiciously.

"I miss Big Brother," replied Nada finally made Keira frown but did not ask again, instead Keira hugged Nada back while kissing her temple.

"Ah Zea, why are you so spoiled like this?" asked Keira while laughing.

"Because I'm your sister!" replied Nada still did not want to let go of her wound.

"Ah yes, yes, you sister Brother. Forever little sister Annoying brother!" keira said while laughing.

Nada laughed even though his heart was devastated beyond measure.

I'm your family, brother, but do they all think I'm like that?
