THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 124

Morning - morning Djorgi now more cheerful. The princess sat with him every morning at the dinner table. With a smile on his lips.

"Pa, how, has Aunt Lina answered papa's statement?" ask Gaby.

Djorgi. "Yet. Even he's avoiding papa."

Gaby speechless. "Cannot. I have to move." Gaby said inwardly.

Moreover, yesterday he saw how the relationship of Jerome and the Rose was getting closer. Also, this is the first time Gaby has seen Jerome's lips always smiling.

Rose was busy studying, thinking about the exams she was facing every day. Unlike Gaby who was busy planning so that the papa and mother of Rose soon married.

"Later, Gaby's going to the cake shop. Gaby's gonna help papa. How's it?"

"Help how. He'll be getting away from me later."

"No pa, just relax. Gaby's gonna try it." chuckles Gaby, to smooth out the plan.

"Gaby darling, be patient. We need to be patient. It all needs a process."

Gaby just smiled falsely in response to the words of the father. "But Gaby can't be patient. Seeing the rose happy. Moreover, Brother Jerome's mother seems to have died from lice" Gaby said in her heart.

While Caty, with his face bent, came to the house of the mother. Where, there is still the brother, Adam and his wife and two children.

"Why did you call Caty this early?" ask Caty in a dislike tone.

Madam Gendis could only shake her head at the words of her only daughter. "This morning you said. Look, your brother's just about to go to the airport."

Caty just fell silent with a indifferent look. Next to him was Agatha. The wife of the older brother, who was always flattered and praised by the mother.

From the moment she first met, Caty did not like Agatha. I don't know because of what. Agatha also came from a wealthy and well-respected family.

"Why should? Go, yes, just leave. Why tell Caty to come here. Pake ngancem everything." ketus Caty.

"Mama told you!! Not them....!!" exclaimed Madame Gendis annoyed.

Adam stroked the mother's back. "Ma, remember my mom's heart. The patient." said Adam wisely. Mr. Sapto is no longer home. He went to a golf course with his friends.

Caty looked at Agatha cynically. And Agatha was aware of that. "Ma, mas, Aga go to the room first huh. Want to check things. Who knows if someone is missing. All of you want to see Lucas' preparations." Agatha reasoned. Choose to go.

Agatha realized that this was a family matter for her husband. And he was just an outsider who should not interfere in this matter.

Plus, he knew that Caty did not like him.

Madam Gendis thrusting her phone. Where on the screen there is a chat with his arisan friend. "Read and see, what he sent." said Mrs Gendis.

"Photo by Wiryo. Oh, my God, don't tell my mama's friends to like Wiryo. Pake stole his picture of everything." guess Caty.

"Caty. read the writing. It's not just the pictures you see...!!!" mrs Gendis lost her patience.

Caty put her cell phone on the table. "What's wrong ma. Did Wiryo have breakfast there?"

"Jeez,,, Adam... Why did you give birth to a child who couldn't think...!!" madam Gendis, holding her head.

"Ma, relax. Remember the health condition of the mother." said Adam reminded.

Caty rolled both eyes lazily. See the scene in front of him. She felt that her mother was overdoing it.

Adam looked at the brother who was sitting in the front seat. "Now you and Wiryo are married. You're a couple of husband and wife. It should be, you as his wife serve him." explained Adam.

"Mas Wiryo never complained or protested. Why are you bothering and complicated." said Caty did not want to be blamed.

"Do you want, Wiryo is looking for another woman. Who can serve him. You should remember why Wiryo and his wife divorced...!" snapped Madame Gendis.

In the past, to get close to Wiryo, Caty always woke up early. Bring breakfast to Wiryo's apartment every day. In fact, at lunch. Caty also delivers lunch to Wiryo's workplace.

In fact, Caty used to be willing to pay someone to clean Wiryo's apartment. And he lied to Wiryo, if he had cleaned it up.

Gradually, Wiryo felt comfortable being near Caty who cared for him. Than the wife, Lina. Which is far from him.

Caty. "Now you understand. If Wiryo and Lina didn't split up. Of course they won't be separated." explains Mrs Gendis.

"Yes, Caty will tell Wiryo to find a maid. Beres." said Caty still did not understand what the mother wanted.

"Geez, Caty, use your brain to think. A husband wants to be served by his wife. Not maids. A maid only helps ease your work, or does work that you can't." Lady Gendis paused her words.

He was astonished by the thought that was in Caty's brain. "Do you want, your maid also serves your husband in bed..!!" exclaim Mrs Gendis.

"Mama... Caty's gonna find an old woman. Anyway, how could Wiryo want to be the same old woman." Caty always had a word to refute every word the mother said.

"Look at your sister. If it continues like this, my mother is sure. She will soon be a widow." said Mrs Gendis.

"Ma. From the widow, the widow. I really want her son to be a widow." exclaimed Caty with annoyance.

Adam also felt high blood, if faced with Caty every day. "What about Wiryo. Will he stand it." said Adam in his heart.

"From now on, you and Wiryo will stay here." insisted Mrs Gendis.

Caty immediately stood up from his seat with both eyes glaring perfectly. "What's... No.... No ma, no, can't." refused Caty.

During this time, Caty desperately searches for a way to live apart from her parents. And now, after she's married. He has to go back home. Which means he'll be like a bird in a cage.

"Ma, I should have been happy, Caty and Wiryo lived apart. That means we will learn independently" Caty reasoned.

"And your husband will not be taken care of." denied the mother.

"OK, if only Caty agreed. Not necessarily Wiryo will agree. Mama knows. Wiryo is very independent. Where does he want to trouble mom and dad." said Caty looking for another reason.

"Wiryo would agree. Papa you'll talk to him." press the mother.

Caty again landed his butt on the chair with both shoulders slumped down. There is no hope and no way.

If it's the name of the papa. That means he will not be able to struggle or refuse. Surely the edges are the threat he will get.

And Wiryo, Caty is convinced. If he would agree. Given how Wiryo really respects the papa. "Finished it." murmured Caty.

After this, his life will be restrained. There will be a lot of rules that Caty will go back to.

"But Caty needs to clean up the apartment. There are some clothes that Caty has to bring here" Caty said limply.

Adam smiled faintly at Caty's expression.

"no need. Mama already told someone to bring her here."

As Mrs Gendis said, Mr. Sapto met Wiryo after he did golf.

"How, papa hope you agree." said Mr. Sapto.

Wiryo nodded. He's agreed. Perhaps, by living in the home of his parents, Caty will change little by little.

After all, after a few days of getting married to Caty, Wiryo sees Caty just sitting at home. Playing cellphone. Or go out, and go to the salon. And go shopping to waste money.

"Well pa."

"Thank God. Papa just wants Caty to change. He has a wife status. And papa wants your grandchildren too. But, seeing the same behavior Caty as when single, papa became a little anxious" said Mr. Sapto.

"All your stuff has been moved to the house. You just go home to our house." said Mr. Sapto.

"Well pa."

"Papa is getting old. Caty's two older sisters are unlikely to manage this company."

"Isn't there still Thomas, son of Adam."

"He will only study here with you. Just so you know, if he taught himself the same papa. It won't work. Adam was not. Especially with the child. After all, he won't hold this company."

Wiryo nodded in understanding. Mr. Sapto has also told Wiryo. If this company is going to be Caty's.

But Caty doesn't know it yet. Because Mr. Sapto knows the character of his daughter. And Wiryo, also asked the in-laws to keep it a secret first.

"How do you want to hold it?" ask Mr. Sapto for the umpteenth time.

"Give Wiryo a few days to think." said Wiryo.

Mr. Sapto nodded. "Don't think too long."

"Good."

"Oh yes, once, invite your daughter to stay at our house. Your mom and I have prepared a room for him." said Mr. Sapto, before leaving Wiryo's office.

Wiryo smiling. "I'll try to persuade the rose. I hope he wants to. Even if it's only a day." Wiryo said in his heart.

Actually Wiryo also felt very upset at the princess. But again the work that piled up made him unable to meet the Rose.

Especially now that Caty was beside him. Who keeps clinging to him like a jerked animal. And Wiryo also felt that Caty did not like Roses at all.

There is only one reason Caty refused when Wiryo asked her to meet the Rose.

"If the rose does not. I can ask Lina for help." said Wiryo.

As usual, every morning Jerome always drove the Rose to go to school. Then he would go to the company to help the father.

But not for this morning, after delivering the Roses, Jerome returned home. There are some important files left at home. So inevitably Jerome had to go back home.

Just a few steps, the voice of the mother has disturbed her sense of hearing.

"The driver's brother has returned to take the Princess." said Mrs Mesya.

Mr. Adipavi who was about to leave for work just sighed. And Jerome, as always. He ignored whatever the mother said. And choose to avoid.

"Mama has enrolled you to a university in England." said Mrs Mesya, able to make Jerome stop his footsteps, and turned to look at the mother.

Mr. Adipavi who knew nothing, just sighed softly. "Why don't you talk first?" asked Mr. Adipavi gently.

"Pa, mama is an old man who already conceived and gave birth to Jerome. Surely mama also knows what's best for Jerome." said Mrs Mesya, with great emphasis.

This is indeed Mrs Mesya's plan. Removing the Roses from Jerome. With Jerome far away from the Rose. Both of them will also have difficulty connecting.

"Why did you do that?!" jerome asked with a slightly raised tone of voice.

"Look, who taught you. Talk to parents, absolutely no manners." exclaimed Mrs Mesya.

"Why, you refuse. Because of that poor woman. Roses. Just because of her, you sacrificed your youth." continued Mrs Mesya.

"Ma.." said Mr. Adipavi.

"You should have been aware. He has a bad impact on you. Not only a wife, has made you as a driver. How about being your wife. You will be made his babu. All your possessions can be controlled by him." said Mrs Mesya at length.

"Ma.. keep talking to you." said Mr. Adipavi raised his tone.

"Oh, now papa is also defending the woman. Yes." said Mrs Mesya did not accept.

"Jerome himself wanted to deliver the Roses. He never asked for anything from Jerome." Jerome said.

Madam Mesya laughed. "Yes, for now. But later. He will surely control you completely. Also your treasure." cried Mrs Mesya.

"Whose treasure do you mean?" the sound of someone's baritone made everyone speechless.

Mr. Dewanto looked sharply at Mrs Mesya. "Damn, why did this old man come here." Inner Madam Mesya.

Madam Mesya threw away her face. Do not want himself to linger with the father of the husband who is very hated.

"All this treasure, it's still in my name. Sekhar Dewanto. Not even your husband has the slightest right to this treasure. And the house you live in, is still in my name. Are you worried about the other person's treasure?!" Mr. Dewanto scoffs at the son-in-law.

Mr. Dewanto has not reversed all his property, in the name of his son or grandson. He knew what the nature of his greedy daughter-in-law was.

However, his decision was also approved by the son. Mr. Adipavi. He agreed to the decision of the father. For the same reason.

Although Mrs Meysa always pressured and demanded her husband to take his share of the property, and changed it on his behalf, Mr. Adipavi refused.

Mr. Adipavi always had a reason to refuse. Because, Mrs Mesya does not know, if some of Mr. Dewanto's property has changed its name, and belongs to Mr. Adipavi. And they purposely hid it from Mrs Mesya.

"If you want Jerome to study abroad. Use your own money to pay for it. Don't ever use my money." press Mr. Dewanto.

Without saying anything, Madam Meysa left them with a face holding in anger. Jerome smiled at the grandfather.

"You can go to college here. While helping your papa. All in all, seize the heart of the future granddaughter-in-law grandfather." said Mr. Dewanto.

Jerome smiled and nodded. "Sure cake. The rose will be the granddaughter-in-law of the grandfather." Jerome said confidently.

"This one." Mr. Adipavi just shook his head slowly. He was busy every day with a pile of files. And just want to see the peaceful atmosphere of the house. But it was hard for him to meet.

"The right learning. Where does the Rose want the same useless man." said Mr. Adipavi teasing the child.

From upstairs, Mrs Mesya gripped the iron barrier tightly. Three men of different ages, making his blood feel up to the crown.

The husband who always obeyed all his requests. It has changed too. Several times, her husband threatened her.

"What the Roses do. So that they liked and loved him." - madam Mesya.

In a large and magnificent house, an elderly couple was sitting casually in the park, while chatting to enjoy the morning. With a cup of tea and a small meal.

"He's our grandson?" asked an old woman, looking at a photo in her hand.

"Beautiful." she praised again.

The husband sat beside her. Grasping his free hand. "Name Rose. Now, he's attending a favorite high school in town. She's very smart." explained the husband.

"How's Lina doing?" ask grandma with a sad face.

Grandpa took a long breath. "He did not introduce the Rose to us at all. Hard-headed."

"All of us are wrong. We are against their marriage. Until Lina prefers to get out of the house."

Grandfather took a long breath. He knows all the lives of his children and grandchildren today. But what a little hesitant to tell the wife.

If Lina and Wiryo are divorced. And Wiryo has remarried. He is worried about his wife's health. And most importantly, he did not want his wife to get sadder.

The palm of the wife's hand. "Just calm. I'll think of a way. So that we can meet our grandchildren."

The grandmother nodded. "Yes, she must be prettier than in the photo." - his great-grandson, without getting tired of looking at the picture of the Rose in his hand.

"I'll bring him here. Stay with us." inwardly the grandfather, who knows the life of the grandson at this time.

He's very sorry. Why don't he figure out the life of the princess who has been leaving home for years.

"If I had known for a long time, the rose would not have lived as it is now." he regretted.
