THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 125

Roses and Jerome were sitting in the car. Right now, they're in front of Gaby's papa's bakery.

Several times Jerome stared at the Rose, who was staring at the cake shop. Where it looks clear, the mother is sitting together with Gaby and Djorgi.

Today, the last day of Rose's class test. He knew if his mother came in the morning. And will be home in the afternoon.

But who would have thought, Roses see the real scenery absolutely do not want Roses to see. Gaby smiled at her mother. And the Rose, as if it could read the situation that was happening inside the store.

Rose accidentally tells Jerome to drive her to the cake shop where Lina works. The rose will wait for the mother to work.

Go home together, walk together. And talk along the way. Isn't it so warm.

Roses also want to invite the mother to go to the store to shop for daily needs. Long enough they never did. Go both. Even if it is just shopping. But the rose loved it.

And today, Rose wants to do it. Because tomorrow, he will go back to work. And it's sure to be home by night. There will be no time for the rose to do so.

Jerome himself was confused, what to do. Bring the Roses down, enter the shop and approach them. Or take the Roses away from where they are today.

While Rose remained focused on the cake shop not far from Jerome parked his car. There was no expression on the face of the rose. Flat.

The rose smiled wryly. "Soak line. It seems like the Rose did not meet the mother." said the Rose, looking at Jerome with a sweet smile on her lips.

Jerome immediately drove his car. And no more looking at the smiling face of the Rose so pretty. For some reason, Jerome's chest felt tight to see the smile of the Rose.

There are feelings that Jerome cannot describe. And Jerome was sure, if the sweet smile on Rose's lips was just a fake smile. A smile covered the wound in his heart.

"How about you come with me." Jerome glanced at the Rose at a glance.

"Where?" ask the Rose cheerfully, as if without burden. And that made Jerome even more guilty.

Jerome did nothing. But Jerome felt like he had failed to protect the Roses.

"I have a good place. Anyway you must be happy." said Jerome without looking at the Rose, he would not be able to see the smile of the Rose. It looks sweet, but not in reality.

Roses nodded. "good. Take Roses anywhere." Roses said.

Degs.... Just this time Jerome felt his lungs being squeezed by two large stones. Very tight, just to breathe. As if the cavity in his chest was shrinking.

Jerome tried to control himself. He must act like a rose. As if everything was okay.

During the thirty-minute journey, there was no conversation between Jerome and the Rose. It was as if they were busy with the thoughts that were in each other's minds.

Jerome focused on looking ahead while driving. Although several times Jerome stole a glance towards the Rose who was staring to the side. It was as if Roses were counting the number of trees neatly lined up on the roadside.

"That's so beautiful." Rose's great-grandson. He spread both his hands under the tree. Because the sun is still hot.

The rose felt a gust of wind carried by the waves. Hit her face. Until his hair is broken flying irregularly.

The rose looked around. There are only a few people. "But how lonely ya." great-grandson Rose who still wears school uniform.

"It's better like this. No rame." Jerome sat beside the standing Rose.

"Sister Jerome, it will be wet low" said Rose reminded Jerome, while darkening the origin of his hair.

Because they have no intention to come here, and of course they also do not bring a change of clothes. Because there is no preparation.

"It's okay. Just buy clothes." said Jerome casually.

Jerome patted the spot beside him. He told the rose to sit on the sand next to him. "The rich are free. Money a lot." Rose's great-grandson.

"Didn't you have a lot of money, too. Just melt down the check my mama gave me." suggested Jerome.

The rose looked towards Jerome. "God, why did the rose forget that." The rose patted her own forehead.

Jerome chuckled softly. "Can I still?" ask Roses.

The check was given by Mrs Mesya about a week ago. The rose is afraid, the check has an expiration date.

"could. Whenever you want."

"All right?"

Jerome nodded. "If you want more, I can add zeros behind it." Jerome joked, but seriously.

The rose laughed. "Thank you, this rich young master in front of me."

The Rose's words made Jerome laugh. "It's so handsome." Inner Rose. Soon the Rose cast aside her mind that had always praised the perfection of Jerome's face.

The rose followed the direction of Jerome's hand which patted the spot next to it. "Sir Jerome's been here a lot?"

"No. Just a few times. With grandpa."

"Grandfather. How is grandpa. After the party, the rose no longer meets grandfather."

"good. Maybe grandpa is in the country." Now."

"Job order?"

"No. Just sightseeing. If it's work, me and papa handle it all. Grandpa's too old to worry about work."

Roses nodded. Justifying Jerome's speech. Indeed, it is better, people who are old like Dewanto's grandfather is time to retire from work.

And it is more important to please yourself and relax more in the old days. Enjoy what he did when he was young.

The mood was silent again. Just sounding the waves. And also the sound of birds. Jerome looked up, looking at the Rose who looked far ahead.

"If you want, I can find out." Jerome bargained, as if knowing what the Rose was thinking.

Smiling roses. Take a deep breath, exhaling it slowly. "No need." said the Rose, silent for a moment.

Then continue the sentence. "The rose will have a new family. Isn't it a happy thing." said Rose smiling.

Jerome looked out at the rose. He did not expect to hear this from the rose. And the rose, she knows where it came from.

"Don't just talk. Who knows, they only talk lightly." said Jerome tried to dismiss the words of the Rose. It was as if what was on the Rose's mind would not happen.

The rose chuckles softly. "Rose is not a child of TK. Who knows nothing. Roses know everything."

The rose looked towards Jerome. The two sat together. Rose with a smile on her lips, Jerome stared with a flat gaze.

Jerome carried the body of the Rose in his arms. "Don't hide yourself. I'll be there when you need me."

A drop of Rose tears fell from her eyelids. "No, no. You have to stand on your own feet. Never rely on others." said the Rose in his heart.

Roses know what it feels like to be hurt by disappointment and betrayal. The rose knows what it feels like, when it needs it, but no hand is outstretched at all.

The rose keeps spreading thorns around it. "Never be a burden to others. Do not make your life like a parasite." continued Rose, steadfastly.

The rose unravels the embrace Jerome gave her. Although the hug feels comfortable and warm. But the rose does not want to be too lulled. He forgot how to stand on the ground.

The rose smiled perfectly. "Sister Jerome take it easy. Every living person has problems. So too with the rose. No need to worry. Roses will surely be able to deal with it."

Jerome did not expect, he did not see any tears at all. Dab. Jerome took a slow breath. "It seems like the Rose's heart has frozen" Jerome said in his heart.

"But I won't back down for a second. I will go into his heart. Melting the ice in his heart. Just for me." Jerome said inwardly with confidence.

The rose nodded and smiled. "Thank you." great-granddaughter Rose.

Jerome knows he can't be selfish. It was not the time for Jerome to be selfish, and to spend time alone with the Rose.

The rose needed something to comfort her heart. And he decides to contact Mira and Selly, as well as Tian and Luck.

Jerome told the four of them to follow to the place where the Rose and himself were now.

The rose widened her eyes in disbelief. The four people he knew ran towards him and Jerome. "They." murmured the Rose.

The rose turned towards Jerome who was looking at him with an affectionate smile. "Sister Jerome sent them here?"

Jerome nodded. "Not both. Wouldn't be more cool if rame." said Jerome.

Spontaneous, the Rose hugged Jerome's body. As Jerome froze, he did not expect to get it from the Rose.

Just a hug. But it means a lot to Jerome. "Thank you brother." said the Rose, breaking her embrace.

Jerome stroked the head of the rose. "Whatever to you."

The six of them play by the beach. But, earlier the Rose changed the clothes that Mira and Selly had brought for her. It does not belong to the rose itself. But Selly's clothes. Whereas **********, they buy new ones.

The smile on the lips of the rose never leaves. He played with Mira and Selly. As if they were a child. Run by the beach without getting tired.

Jerome and Luck, as well as Tian sat looking at the three. "What's going on?" ask Luck.

"It looks like Gaby really wanted to destroy the Rose" Jerome said.

Jerome told me everything he saw at Djorgi's pastry shop. And what the rose says. "Suckers. Really, it turns out she's more dangerous than Dona." Luck hit the sand next to her.

"Elo should tell the Elo people to be more focused and alert to keep the Roses. I'm sure, Gaby is more reckless than Dona." Tian suggested.

"Gue sense, elo should add people. To keep an eye on Gaby too. Don't let Gaby do anything to harm the Rose."

"I've done it." Jerome's gaze could not be separated from the Rose who was laughing with the two presses.

Luck patted Jerome's shoulder gently. "Gue is proud of you. Elo is not at all selfish." said Luck.

"Gue realized, right now, what the Rose needed was not me. But something foamy made him forget his problem. Although momentary. And it's only with Mira and Selly" Jerome said.

The rose, and her two friends walked towards Jerome and Luck, as well as Tian in wet clothes. "Hungry." great-granddaughter Rose, dropped her body in front of Jerome, also with Mira and Selly.

The three hadiths looked breathless from exhaustion. Jerome smiled, looking at the cute Rose expression.

"Clean your bodies first. Then we'll eat." Jerome said.

Roses nodded. "There are no grilled fish. It looks good." said Selly.

"Some, we'll find." said Luck.

Since the incident on the playground, Luck has been more gentle with Selly. While Selly felt bad, when staring at Luck's face. There was a strange feeling he felt as he stared at Luck's face. And Selly doesn't know what it is.

Face Pale Rose. "Cold." The rose hugged her own body.

"You want to be hugged?" bargain Jerome.

"Cie.... Roses,,, anyone wants to warm up, it's free." Selly said.

"Come Roses, if you don't want to, I will." Mira timpal.

"Aawws... What the hell brother." complained Mira, as Tian hit his arm.

"Genite." ledek Tian.

"Belvin. The same flirty guy who's handsome." Mira played both of her eyes as she looked at Jerome.

"Already,,, already, we clean the body first. Laper." between Roses.

"Cie... Jealous roses." seduced Mira.

The rose hit the Mira strongly. "The mouth....!!" exciting Roses.

Everyone stood up with a sweet-sounding laugh. While walking towards the bathroom to clean themselves, they teased each other. So the atmosphere feels warm.

After cleaning the body, they look for the nearest place to eat. "Rose, elo told mom that you're coming home tonight?" ask Mira, reminding.

"It is." said the Rose.

"Aa, yes, tomorrow we are free. And the rose has not." sally chirped.

They talked while waiting for food. The three women always had a topic of conversation, while the three men were silent, and sometimes even spoke their words.

"What the hell?" asked the Rose with a judas expression, but instead it looked so beautiful.

Mira poking the chin of the Rose. "Pretend to forget. Elo has to practice drama with Jerome" said Mira reminded.

"You think I'm senile. Yeah no. Wlekk..." The rose stuck its tongue out toward Mira.

"Know. You must have been looking forward to it." seduced Mira.

"God. Don't listen to brother. Mira's mouth is indeed broken." said the Rose fiercely.

But Mira laughed. So too with the others.

Jerome just smiled. His vision never moved from the rose. Only the rose, which was in Jerome's eyes.

The food they ordered came. "Wait!!" sally exclaimed, when the Rose was about to take food and put it on a plate.

Selly stand. Ask the waiter to take a picture of the six of them. "Attent. Roses,, brother Jerome,, you are approaching each other. Come.." pinta Selly like a photographer, who is imposing his will.

The rose is silent. Not with Jerome, he immediately shifted his seat. And close to the rose. In fact, Jerome's hand was coiled around the Rose's shoulder. And the rose did not protest.

"Done." said Selly, directly uploading his photo on his sosmed account.

"Eating time...!!" mira Sahut.

The rose only shook its head. He knew the purpose of Selly doing that. "Your friends are ignorant." lirih Jerome, also know the purpose of Selly uploading their photos on social media.

"Banget." said the Rose.

They eat with gourmand. Seen several times Jerome set aside the thorns of roasted fish from the meat. Then put it on the rose plate.

The rose just smiled and continued eating. Mira and Selly who saw him looked happy smiles. "May Brother Jerome be truly sincere with the Rose" Selly said in his heart.

All the food above is gone. "You want to add more?" ask Tian.

"No...!!" the rose and her two friends. The laughter of Jerome and his two friends.

"It must be fat." guess Tian.

"True.." cried the three girls simultaneously back.

Jerome's plan went well. Jerome was so happy. At least, what is done can make the Rose forget his sadness. Even if only for a moment.
