Lady Rose, His Lover
Everyone's guilt

“How is it, Mama? What if after this, Dad will kick us out?” ask Mirabel who is beginning to worry about the fate of her and her mother.

The mother and daughter were standing on the edge of the stairs on the second floor. Trying to maximize the performance of their sense of hearing, in order to eavesdrop on the talk of the men downstairs.

“Don't be afraid, Honey! We didn't interfere for the last time. So, you don't have to worry too much like this!” Madam Mira tries to calm her daughter down.

In his heart he was trembling too. However, she still had to be a strong mother figure in front of her daughter. They should not look guilty in the slightest. Because they are not at all guilty.

What happened to Rose about her kidnapping getting carried away and almost being sold by a human trafficking syndicate is not related to them at all. Although there's Mr. Rogh in it.

Madam Mira tried to convince her daughter of that. Mr. Benneth only questions what really happened to Rose on the ship. He did not bring up the matter of Rose's incident in the past.

“Your father can't throw us out. Just relax!” Madam Mira calls for her belief in Mirabel.

Without looking at his daughter, because he was too focused on looking down. Where the men gathered in the middle room.

“I hope so!” nod Mirabel in a hopeful tone.

He also has the same direction of view. With the same look as his mother. Nanar and not sure if they will survive. But both of them only kept this doubt in their hearts.

The mother and son did not want to show any anxiety in their eyes. Because they don't want to be weak, if one already shows the worry they have.

As the men chatted seriously, focusing on what Rose was going through. The object they were talking about was sitting with Bella and Bervan, in the backyard.

Rose did not want to get involved in the conversation, which was all her injuries. Rose did not want to remember all the past he had buried and fled to the sea.

If they want to talk about it again, please!

Rose would not forbid if those people would say all the things, which would make the eyes of her father's heart open. Please! But don't get him in it!

For, deep down, he wanted his father to really open his eyes. No longer caught up in the hallucinations that the two women were making.

So Rose decided to talk to her sister-in-law, Bella. While playing with Bervan.

“You all right?” Bella opens her voice. He seemed worried about Rose who was more silent and daydreaming.

“Can I lie?” rose asked back while she smiled. The forced smile.

“As of you, only!” bella is not indifferent.

He knew that his sister-in-law was not doing well. But he could not force her to speak. Bella wants to let Rose herself let go of the havoc in the heart.

True indeed! In accordance with Bella's guess, if Rose is not okay at this time. Maybe his mouth told him nothing about his past. But his mind told itself about all the wounds that had been inflicted on his heart, ever since he was first sold to an old man.

All those bitter memories were rolling around in his brain, asking to be remembered, one by one. They continued to break down the boundary fence that Rose had made, in order to easily steal the calm that had been Rose had built.

And all those painful things took hold of some of him. Rose daydreams. Staring straight with a blank look, as well as an expressionless face. So sick of everything he felt, Rose did not know how to have a facial water. The whole part of his face felt numb, for he was expressing something.

“Take it easy, Bella! I'm fine!” The low and flat voice came out of Rose's mouth, which was still not finished with her own feelings.

But actually, that statement Rose also used to remind herself. That everything has passed, and they just need to welcome a new day.

“You should be fine, Rose!” Bella had the same thought. Although not spoken through the mouth of both.

Bella knew enough about what Rose had experienced, long ago, until the last time. So. Victor's wife desperately wants happiness for her sister-in-law. After what he's been through.

“Aibi! Watch out for planes!” bervan shouted while airing a toy plane with his hands.

Ngung~!

The little boy's lips pursed while letting out a hum like the sound of an airplane.

The little boy approached his mother and aunt who were sitting in the garden seat.

“Aibi! Let's play! Aunty just daydreamed, and didn't play with me!” Bervan showed her protest mode fixed in front of Rose.

The little boy stood straight while folding his hands in front of his chest. He delayed flying his plane again. To get her aunt to play.

“You, right, still have another aunt one! Why not take him to play?” Bella accidentally mocked her son while holding a smile.

“No!” firmly the boy. Shortly afterwards, Bervan refused to acknowledge. “I have no aunt besides Aunt Rose! Point!”

The little boy raised the folds of his hands in front of his chest along with his chin. This is a warning from Bervan. That she did not accept the woman as her aunt.

“Ha... ha... ha...!” Laughter finally came out of Rose's mouth that had been meeting since.

Bella looked at that face. A face that could finally reveal a cheerful expression.

“So, this is why you were pouting when your new Aunt came earlier?” rose was still laughing.

“Iya!” The little boy sat down, forcing himself to stand in the middle of his mother and aunt.

“From yesterday, she asked Bervan to call her aunt. She said she was also Aunt Bervan, just like Aunt Rose.” The little boy started to tell stories. She has been struggling with how she feels since she first met Mirabel.

“Then?” ask Rose. He tilted his head, curious about the continuation of the story of Bervan and his half-sister.

Bella who already knew chose silence, and let her son tell the story. Complain to his aunt.

“His face is evil like a witch! Bervan doesn't want to have a bad guy's aunt!” The little boy's lips frowned again when he told him about Mirabel again.

Yeah, God! Rose wants to laugh! The way Bervan describes Mirabel is very precise, he thinks.

Even a child can judge just by looking at his face. Then where the eyes of his father who is someone who has grown up, even already enjoy the salt acid of life.

Rose had no idea how her father judged her mother and stepbrother. Is it because he is old, so he becomes myopic to distinguish what is good and not good in front of him?!

I don't know! Hopefully, after listening to the stories of the men, his father will open his heart and mind. That the seeds should be thrown away!

Aye! Inside the house, precisely in the living room, the men were putting on tense and serious faces. Especially Mr. Benneth whose face looks frustrated. Not all the stories he heard.

Victor hands it to Ben to tell him how Rose got here. He was the first to meet his sister. Plus the information that Ben got from Ken who received Rose working in his villa at that time. Also from the Rose story he had heard.

It's a pain that not all women, or even everyone can endure in that situation. Sold to an old man his father's age, not defended by his own father, almost raped, until Rose fled in a state of chaos.

It doesn't feel like enough sharp knives have pierced Mr. Benneth's heart. He still had to hear how his daughter had boarded and hid in a fishing boat, to escape as far as possible.

The most painful thing was when he heard Rose plunge into the cold sea to reach land. The struggle of a desperate man is very hard. At that time, his body was very weak.

Until one of the employees at the villa acquaintance Ben found it and invited Rose to work there.

Mr. Benneth knows the reason why his youngest daughter disappeared all along. That alone cut his heart. He regretted that at that time, Rose paid the debt that his wife had fantastic value for him.

It shouldn't be Rose who takes it all. Because it's not his fault at all. Not to mention Eric added that at that time his father intended to make Rose, the fifth wife.

This is so cruel! And Mr. Benneth blames himself even more for what his daughter suffered.

“Actually I don't want Dad to know any of this, because it won't change anything to what Rose has been through. But Dad still has to open his eyes, the woman you brought home, not something that makes Rose happy.”

“They even made Rose a maid in her own house. Is that worth it? While they are busy spending Dad's money!” Victor finally opened his voice because he was too emotional right now.

“And it seems, I don't need to explain Dad's big mistake, until Rose disappears, right?!” satirize Victor with a cynical smile.

He doesn't think out. How a father who should take care of his own daughter, even willing to sacrifice her. Heh!

The older sister of Rose wanted to come forward as she was provoked by her father's screams. But Ben immediately held the body from behind. The man in the cowboy hat prevented Victor from making a mistake he would regret. After all, he was still their father.

“Dad knows Dad's guilty! Hh... very-very guilty!” Mr. Benneth lowered his head deeply.

Closed his eyes while feeling all forms of regret as well as guilt. Pain that made him feel frustrated because it could not be cured. Pain that reaches the heart.

His shoulders rose and fell faintly. The middle-aged man held back his cries. Resist her sad feelings. His intention to give a whole family again to his children, it turned out to be a big mistake that he had made.

He did not care about his eldest son leaving. He did not know his son had a serious illness. Then, let her youngest daughter get hurt and endure all those painful things.

“I'm sorry, Dad! Forgive Dad, Victor!” he nodded with a voice so painful. It hurt because of his huge guilt.

“Dad doesn't have to apologize to me. Apologize to Rose. But..”

“Don't rush to apologize, because the story isn't finished yet. Dad should hear it until it runs out.” Victor glanced at Eric and Ben. Cue to tell the rest. It's how Rose got to meet Mr. Rogh again on the ship.

The two men began a story they knew in turn. Rose runs away from home to catch up with Ben, until the woman is taken in by a group of people.

And ends up on a ship, which turns out to be a human trafficking syndicate. Eventually, Eric found her. Because the boss of the people who arrested Rose was his own father, Mr. Rogh.

Mr. Rogh's men did present Rose to his boss. But everything got under control because Eric managed to save him. Although Rose was unconscious once they reached the harbor, when she tried to leave. The man took Rose to the hospital.

“Because of the incident almost raped at that time, your daughter experienced a trauma. And he met the trigger while on the ship. Hence, when it survived that time, the trauma relapsed again.”

Eric knows that the cause of Rose's trauma is because of her own father. He said no more and chose silence. While feeling the guilt that he had. Representing his father who is already insane.

“Can I talk?” intersect Baz among the stretched silence.

A few eyes were staring at him. With their own facial expressions. Being emotionally wrapped up because of one person. Rose is the reason.

Dug~!

Baz knelt in front of everyone. Placed his fist over his thigh while bowing his head. He suppressed the guilt that had accumulated earlier by pressing the fist against his broad thigh.

“I haven't apologized officially to everyone. Especially to Rose who has borne the mistakes I have made,” said the man sincerely still with his head lowered.

Everyone's hewak. Eric and the ignorant Mr. Benneth looked curious. What is it until that person kneels to all of them?!

While Ben and Victor who had guessed was staring nanar at the man. A mix of anger and guilt expands in the chest, and tapers in the sight of their eyes.

Finally Rose wanted to be persuaded to join everyone inside. He, Bella and Bervan who had just entered, were presented with this view. The three halted in unison when they reached the doorway, which connected to the backyard.

They don't make any sound at all. Like being silent in the silence that had been created before in the room. Only the roar of breath could be heard from the three. It was also extremely delicate, as if they were becoming living statues at this moment.

And again, the men seemed too late in their serious talk. Unaware of the presence of Rose, Bella and Bervan.

“I apologize to all of you, because the suffering that Rose experienced was due to my actions.” Baz admitted it with a strong heart.

Eric and Mr. Benneth compactly frowned. They didn't understand what Baz was talking about right now.

“Your wife, Sir! Your father, Eric!” Baz's eyeballs rolled at them alternately. Then continue with his confession. “I arranged it! I designed a life for Rose so she could live to suffer that time.”

Baz lowered his head. Until his body leaned forward. The guilt that he had once been able to control, in fact now rebelled again.

“What does it mean?” sighed Mr. Benneth increasingly do not understand all this.

“I used to take revenge on your son. Because I thought he was the one who made my father go. And worse, he impregnated my sister.”

Mr. Benneth immediately placed his gaze on Victor, as if asking. Is that true?

The eldest son only gave him a quick glance. His father knew nothing about his children. Victor preferred to look sharply at Baz again. Until his father also followed the direction of his view helplessly, because he felt ignored.

“It turns out all that was just a misunderstanding. Instead Victor was framed and scapegoated for all the problems that exist. Including the Bella problem. Which turned out at that time, the real culprit wanted to frame my sister.”

“That guy was going to make me hate Victor. I forgot to find the truth. And stuck in the wrong revenge mission.” Baz ended his explanation and confession.

“Then from that, please forgive all my past deeds!” Now he is really asking for forgiveness from everyone.

“Bless your head!” victor's orders later.

Although his voice was flat, however, considering that all the events had returned, he felt an angry urge coming out. Who could accept if his sister had to suffer for so many years?!

Baz raised his head slowly and hesitantly. When he had completely raised his head, the look in his eyes met immediately with someone's gaze.

“Rose!” mumbling slowly.

Eric and Mr. Benneth turned their eyes towards Baz. But apparently, there are two men who don't care. Victor and Ben.

“Can I hit you?” ask Victor coldly.

Bugh~!

But the man didn't need an answer. His fists instantly darted onto Baz's handsome face without any cue.

“Kakak!”

“Kakak!”

Two women cry out simultaneously.

“I also need to beat you up once!”

Bugh~!

Now it's his right cheek that got hit by a raw bogem.

“Ben! What are you doing?” rose shouted as he walked there.

Bella and Bervan rush over, to calm Victor and also see Baz's current condition.

“I haven't taught you a lesson for your actions that kidnapped Rose who almost went through that bad thing again. You don't know, do you, how scared it was when your men almost raped her?!” ben is full of emotion. Because most of Rose's suffering, she witnessed it firsthand.

“Ben! Enough already!” pinta Rose hugged her lover, so as not to get out of control.

“It's okay, Rose! I deserve it!” baz said as he winked softly. With a soothing smile using her bloody lips at both corners.

“I just want to message you, Mister!” Then Baz turned his eyes to Mr. Benneth.

“Leave that wife and daughter of yours! They just want your money!”

The murmur down there made the two women upstairs panic.

“Mama, how is this?”

Seriate…
