THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 133

When he returned home, Djorgi asked permission to be able to drive Lina. And Gaby agreed. In fact, Gaby urges Lina to go home with the papa.

While he came home with a driver from the family of Mr. Tomi. He reasoned, if the distance between the restaurant and his house was closer than the distance from the restaurant house to Lina's house.

So that he was willing to take the father's mother from the Rose. Than to go home with her. Djorgi invites Gaby to take Lina home.

Gaby refused it. He decided to rest at home immediately. Gaby wants her closer to Lina.

In addition, Gaby also felt bored nearby and talked to Lina earlier. If it wasn't for her scheming, maybe Gaby would have sat down and talked with the parents, including Lina.

Plus, there was no Rose beside Lina. It was as if Gaby was worried for Lina's safety. Making her name even more praised by everyone who was there at the time.

In fact, Madam Tanti also praised the attention Gaby gave to Lina. He also said, how happy if he had a grandson like Gaby.

Luckily the rose was not there. You can imagine, how hurt the Rose heart, if you hear the words of the grandmother who has just been known about her existence.

While Lina in between by Djorgi. Several times, Djorgi steals a glance at Lina. "Well, why stop?" lina asked, as Djorgi pulled the car over.

Djorgi removed his seatbelt. He turned his seat towards Lina. "Is it still not enough, I'm waiting for you?"

Lina remained silent. She is a pretty smart adult woman. Of course Lina knew, what Djorgi meant. "How much longer do I have to wait for your answer?" asked Djorgi impatiently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you to wait. I'm also not preventing you from getting close or even choosing another woman." Lina stopped her words.

Take a long breath. Then continue his words. "I just don't want to fail the household for the second time" Lina said realistically.

"I promise you, I will never let you down. I will always be by your side." Djorgi promised.

Lina smiled bitterly. "Then, he promised that too. Even foolishly, I was willing to leave my parents behind for the promise he made. But this is the way reality slaps me."

"But I'm not him. Don't equate me with him." Djorgi refuses to let Lina identify herself with Wiryo.

"I don't equate mas at all, with my ex-husband. But, I am the one who has not been able to recover the feeling in this heart. I'm still afraid of being let down a second time."

"Is my promise not enough?" kekeh Djorgi's.

"Then, even I let go of everything. In the past, I sacrificed a lot. And now, I also feel the most betrayed. Besides Roses." explains Lina.

Lina stared intensely at Djorgi. "Mas has never felt this heartache. Djorgi was once divorced. Not with me. Who married for love. And divorced for the betrayal of love too. It feels more painful, mas." explained Lina with a sad face.

"But the Rose needs a father figure" Djorgi reasoned.

Lina smiled strangely. "You know the rose well. In fact, I as his mother did not know the Rose one hundred percent. The boy, would rather keep everything alone. Than to share."

"But, having a father, the Rose no longer had to work. I can afford both of you" Djorgi said.

"It's not about money. If it was about money, surely since a few days ago, the Rose has stopped working. And moving into my parents' second house." explains Lina.

"Roses refuse. He refused to move anywhere. If it's just sleeping or staying overnight or two nights, Rose agrees. Not by moving house."

"She said instead, if I wanted to go back home, where I had grown up. Roses will not be forbidden. But the rose will not come."

Djorgi is now conscious. The biggest barrier wall other than the heartache that Lina still felt, was the Rose. It is as if the Rose is reluctant and unwilling to open its heart.

Lina threw her gaze forward. "Did the Rose ever contact you, or send you a message. Like Gaby who every day always sends me written messages? Never has it?" guess Lina.

Djorgi was silent. He still remembers clearly, as he sent a written message to the Rose. The rose answers only briefly, densely, and clearly. No pleasantries at all.

"It's easier to get close to me than the rose. Just look, only one man managed to sit next to her. Even so, he must try with all his heart." explained Lina.

And Lina was sure, Djorgi knew who it was. Jerome's.

"Would run the car. I need to get home soon. Poor Rose, if she's alone at home." asked Lina politely.

Djorgi just sighed. Turn the engine back on. "But I'll keep waiting for you." - great-grandson Djorgi.

Lina was silent, not responding to Djorgi's statement. That's right, if Lina has feelings for Djorgi. Although only a little.

But, the fear that was in Lina's heart, was greater than her love for Djorgi.

Trauma is betrayed and disappointed. Who wouldn't feel such a deep heartache.

Gaby smiled happily in the back seat. It was like getting a lottery prize. How not, the plan went smoothly. Although there are some events that make Gaby have to hold back emotions.

But, at least Gaby argues that what is planned for now goes according to her plan. It feels really relieving. That's what Gaby is feeling right now.

The driver always looks back. Open his ears wide. "After this, the rose will completely lose its mother" Gaby said excitedly.

Gaby was unconscious. If the driver sharpens his hearing. "Roses. It's not just Elo's mother I'm going to take. Grandpa and grandma elo. All their possessions." said Gaby smiling happily.

"Perfect." continued with a small ruckus.

By leaning his body into a chair. "Right now, Elo could smile happily. For getting close to Jerome. But look, if the time comes. Brother Jerome I will take from the side of the elo." grinned Gaby, like a smiling demon.

"If the rose had been there. Heard his grandmother and mother praising me. Oohh, I'm sure I'll be even happier" he said casually, playing his fingers.

The car that took Gaby to the front of the house. "Sorry Miss, we've arrived." said the driver kindly.

Gaby stared intently at the driver. "Elo is not paid to just sit and hold the steering wheel. Begos. Use your brain to think. Also use your feet and hands well."

Gaby showed me who she really was. Proud and arbitrary. Gaby behaved so because she underestimated the man who only worked as a driver in front of her.

Gaby likens the driver to the maids in her home. Who just kept quiet and did not dare to complain to the father. For everything Gaby did.

Without Gaby realizing her reckless attitude just now would have left her plans in shambles. Even failed.

The driver smiled faintly. He knew what Gaby meant. The driver immediately got off. And open the door for Gaby.

It was as if Gaby knew what Mr. Tomi and Mrs Tanti wanted. Only because he had just been able to talk to the grandmother of the Rose.

"Sopir. Lazy." said Gaby, with feet began to step into the yard of the house. Where the gate is opened from the inside by a security guard at the house of Mr. Djorgi.

The driver just nodded and breathed. "Such a form wants to go into Mr. Tomi's family. Where to receive." great-granddaughter.

The driver smiled sincerely. Recalling this afternoon, when he picked up Roses and Lina. Both have the same nature.

Both refused when the driver opened the door. "Beauty Miss Rose. Be far. Anyway, how could I have been fired just because of you, little devil's miss." chuckling Gaby's words were so funny.

The driver picked up a ballpoint pen in his shirt pocket. Lopsidedly smiles. And drive the car to Mr. Tomi's residence.

Arriving at home, Madam Tanti unceasingly said that she felt happy. I could have dinner with the princess. Lina.

Without mentioning the name of the rose in front of him. In fact, Mrs Tanti mentioned Gaby several times. And praise Gaby's attitude. He thinks he is very friendly and polite.

"Ckk, perhaps the Rose inherited the attitude and nature of her papa. If only, our granddaughter would be Gaby. Surely I'll be very happy" he said comparing Rose and Gaby.

"Are we just setting Lina up with Djorgi. I see, Djorgi also likes Lina. He's a well-established man. And looks responsible. Not like Wiryo." he lamented.

Mr. Tomi was silent. Listening to all the tweets from the wife, without the intention of replying. "Thus Gaby will also be our grandson" he said in a happy tone.

"This house will be crowded. If there's Gaby here. I won't be lonely anymore."

Seeing the husband just silent while looking at him expressionlessly, Madam Tanti reprimanded him. "Grandfather, say something. Don't just listen to me."

"We wait for our driver to return" said Mr. Tomi coldly.

Madam Tanti frowned. They had a conversation with the driver who drove Gaby. What does. "Gosh,,, you're worried about Gaby, too." guessed Miss Tanti sumringah.

Shortly, the driver arrived. He immediately gave the ballpoint pen in his pocket to the master. "Stay there." asked Mr. Tomi, when the driver wanted to leave the room.

"Good sir."

"How, you've taken Gaby to her house. Making sure he's okay?" asked Mrs Tanti enthusiastically.

"Had Madam." she looked for a moment at Mr. Tomi who was just grunting.

Tomi looked towards his wife. "Listen well."

"What is that?" ask Mrs Tanti.

Mr Tomi did not explain, but looked back at his wife sharply. "Yes, I'll listen to you" said Mrs Tanti, knowing that her husband was upset with her who had been very chatty.

Mr. Tomi pressed the button at the end of the ballpoint pen. And directly a woman's voice was heard. Carefully, they listened to everything.

Mr. Tomi again pressed the button he had pressed earlier, after the recording ran out. "Like Gaby's voice." guess Madame Tanti.

Mr. Tomi gave the device to his wife. "Who knows. Your ears are a little troubled" he said cynically.

Madam Tanti accepted it doubtfully. Look towards the driver. While Mr. Tomi was sitting quietly, leaning his back against the soft chair.

Mr. Tomi threw away the face. He did not look at his wife at all. Which he thinks is very annoying.

Just because Gaby is friendly and smiley. Just because Gaby paid little attention to Lina. The wife easily judged Gaby. Even comparing the grandson to a girl like Gaby.

"yes Madam. It was a recording of Miss Gaby's voice. When he was in the car. But that louder sound. When he gets out of the car."

Madam Tanti fell silent. His tongue, which had been praising Gaby, now felt mute. Between believe and not. Because Gaby was being friendly with a soft word.

"You guys just met. Just new. And you can already judge it. That's grand. Says he's better than my grandson Roses. Hah.." said Mr. Tomi.

"Would he survive in poverty with Lina. What a girl you think is better than the Rose, is with your daughter every day. Workin' hard. Finding your own money to finance school." said Mr. Tomi issued a pent-up emotion earlier.

"If you want him to be here. Pick him up. Take him to stay with you. I'll see how long he'll stay in this house." challenge Mr. Tomi.

Mr. Tomi stood up, leaving the wife still silent with her hands tightly grasping the voice recording device given by the husband. Along with the driver who was still standing next to him.

"Sorry Madam, if you're speaking wrong."

Mrs Tanti looked at the driver. Who has served his family for decades. "Miss Gaby and Miss Rose. Both do not get along. I don't know what makes them like that."

"But, what I saw. Miss Gaby is ambitious to make Miss Roses miserable and sad. By taking the attention of the people around Miss Rose."

"With Miss Rose. She's not like Miss Gaby. Who must wear a mask, change its nature. To be liked by many."

"Miss Rose. He is what he is. And I don't like to pretend. Sorry ma'am, if I'm presumptuous." said the driver.

Madam Tanti nodded slowly. "You can go" he said.

"Thank you Madam. I resigned. I hope, Madam don't hate Miss Rose. She's a nice, hard-working girl. Don't let me, Madam is acting wrong. Later, the Madam will regret for life." said the driver before leaving the employer alone.

Madam Tanti just nodded. He played back the recording repeatedly. Heard it clearly.

Madam Tanti smiled blandly. It was clear in his memory. A few hours ago, he ignored the Rose sitting far away from him and Lina. And even had a warm conversation with Gaby.

"Lord. He's still in High School. Why have evil thoughts like this." chirped Madam Tanti.

Madam Tanti shed tears. "I'm sorry, grandma compares you to her. My grandmother almost took the wrong step. And I'll regret it for life."

"Do Lina know." guess Madame Tanti. "Lina certainly doesn't know. But, why didn't Roses tell Lina." she continued to be curious.

In fact, the Rose could have dismantled all of Gaby's cunning. And Madam Tanti was sure, if Lina would definitely believe what the princess said.

"I'm sorry grandma. Grandma should be able to get closer to you. I didn't expect you to approach Grandma. You still can't accept us. Moreover, for seventeen years, we have not been present in your life at all." Miss Tanti.
