THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 134

"What is this ma?" lina asked, as the mother played the voice recording in front of her.

Madam Tanti sighed. He deliberately invited Lina to meet without any Roses. After Lina came home from work, in the afternoon. Where Mawar also still works in the boutique Mrs Utami.

I want to hear the recording she got from her husband. "Didn't you memorize this voice?"

With doubt, Lina shook her head. "Of course."

"You sure?"

"Gaby's voice." guess Lina.

Madam Tanti nodded slowly.Seeing the flat expression and calm demeanor of Lina. As if you already know, if Roses and Gaby have personal problems. "You know that already? Did the rose tell you?"

"Where did you get that tape from?" Lina asked her mother again, before she answered her question.

"Our family driver. The one that drove Gaby home last night." explains Mrs Tanti.

Lina took a glass of drink in front of her, then sipped it a little. "Lina was just suspicious. Just met first. And he looks very welcome. In fact, previously Djorgi said if his daughter, Gaby has a cold nature and tends to be haughty. To him, Gaby rarely spoke."

Lina paused her sentence for a moment, before continuing her words. "Initially, I tried to think positively. Maybe because she misses the figure of a mother. Because he grew up without that figure."

"Lina asked the Rose about Gaby. The rose asked me again, about Gaby. And the Rose does not tell Gaby how everyday. Never is."

"But, the longer, the more strange Lina felt. Every day she always sends Lina a message. Saying if she wants and urges Lina to be a mother."

"What a Rose never tells a story at all. Anything?" lady Tanti asked, trying to ask Lina to remember it, maybe Lina forgot.

Lina shook her head sure. "Roses aren't that kind of girl. She never praised, nor even vilified, anyone else." explains Lina.

Madam Tanti let out a long breath. "Are you getting married soon?"

Lina actually knew, where the mother's question was headed. "Lina really likes Djorgi. But, if you have to get married in the near future, it doesn't seem."

"I'm sorry, mama wasn't there when you were in trouble."

Lina smiled sincerely. "Don't apologize ma. Lina's guilty here. Lina left you. And the one who suffers the most, of course the Rose."

"Pulp her to focus on school. He doesn't need to work." asked Mrs Tanti.

Lina laughed softly. "Lina will try to speak. But my mother did not expect too much. The rose of his son is stubborn."

"Sissing like you." Madam Tanti cut Lina's words with a smile on her lips.

"Rose is Lina ma's son." said Lina accompanied by a small oddity.

"What about your papa's offer. Are you going to accept it?" Mistress Tanti hoped, Lina accepted the husband's offer.

Where, Mr. Tomi will give capital to Lina to open her own cake shop. So, Lina no longer needs to work at Djorgi's cake shop.

Lina nodded. Approved the request of both parents. Not without reason Lina received help from the papa.

By opening her own cake shop, at least Lina does not constantly interact with Djorgi. He did not need to feel guilty, because he did not accept Djorgi's proposal.

"Maybe this is the best way" Lina said in her heart.

"Again, if indeed Gaby had bad intentions on the Rose. Of course Lina will be in front of the Rose. She's Lina's only daughter, Mom. The rose that has always given power to Lina." said Lina.

Madam Tanti smiled and nodded sincerely. "Mother is guilty too. Even approached Gaby rather than the Rose." lamented Mrs Tanti.

"No. Don't talk like that." comfort Lina. She did not want her mother, who was in a wheelchair, to feel guilty.

"Will the rose forgive mother?"

"Of course, he's a sweet and kind boy." praised Lina for the princess.

"Are you not curious. Why don't Roses and Gaby get along?" ask Mrs Tanti.

Lina shakes. "Let it be their business. All Lina needed to do, Lina would only still defend princess Lina. Roses. Whatever happens." said Lina.

"Lina will listen, if the Roses themselves tell the story. Lina will not urge or ask Roses to tell you things that Roses don't need to tell you." Lina said.

Apparently, the nature of the rose is not easy kepo on the affairs of others he inherited from the mother. Just like Lina, Roses do too.

"Excuse me." a woman in graceful clothes greeted kindly Lina and Madam Tanti.

"Yes." said Lina. Because he did not know who the middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful in front of him.

He extended his hand. "Include me, I'm Utami. Owner of the boutique where the Roses work." said Mrs Utami introduced herself.

Lina stood up immediately. "Sorry Madam, I don't know." lina squeaked guiltily.

"Don't call Madam. Just call jeng." ask Mrs Utami.

He knew Lina's face, from Roses' social media accounts. Because, Rose never upload photos of the mother. "Please sit down." said Lina kindly.

Madam Utami looked towards Madam Tanti. "It looks like we've met." said Mrs Utami.

"She's my mama." - timpal Lina. Mrs Utami and Mrs Tanti shook hands with each other.

They sit at a table. Talk warm and look ordinary. "Has a good idea, Roses work there. The owner is so kind." Inner Lina.

They also talked about roses. How a hardworking Rose. And also many steal the attention of many people because of their nature and behavior.

Mrs Utami's gaze unintentionally saw a figure that she thought was very familiar. He tilted his head slightly.

"What's jeng?" ask Lina.

"It seems I know the woman" said Mrs Utami, sharpening her gaze. "Isn't he Puri." he muttered.

Madam Tanti and Lina also turned to the place where Madam Utami was looking at. "Maybe she's eating with her husband" Lina said.

Nyukuh Utami. "His husband is long dead" he explained, who could not see the man's face. For he sat back to Madame Utami.

Both seem very romantic. Until the man did not hesitate to feed Madam Puri. Dodge the corner of Mrs Puri's lips. As well as gently stroking Madam Puri's cheeks despite a glance. Like a teenager dating.

"It could be her future husband." - Mistress Tanti.

Madam Utami still looked sharply at them. His expression was not as warm as before. Lina and her mother were also aware of this.

But they both chose to be quiet. And not asking too far. Moreover, this was the first time they had met and talked.

Madam Utami took the phone from inside her bag. Then contact the husband. He felt that the man in front of Madam Puri was the husband. Maybe, it was a wife felling.

He looks like the guy took his phone. Then put it on the table. And simultaneously, the call that Mrs Utami addressed to the husband was turned off unilaterally.

Again. Madam Utami called her husband on a phone call. Again not lifted. And it's turned off.

Madam Utami stood up. Leave the bag on the chair. Walk up to them with their cell phones in their ears.

However, both Lina and the mother were still sitting monitoring the situation. Those who are other people, can only see.

"Why not get caught?" asked Madam Utami with a flat face. Resisting emotions that are currently in the crown.

Suddenly, Mr. Joko and Mrs Puri immediately stood up and stared in shock at Mrs Utami. "Mama." great-granddaughter of Mr. Joko.

Madam Utami stared intently at the two in turn. While Madam Puri looks confused mixed with anxiety. "Khemmm.." immediately Mr. Joko behaved normally.

Mr. Joko pulled a little chair back. "Sit here ma."

But Madam Utami remained silent not moving a bit from her place. "Mom why is it here. It just so happened that I and Puri were talking about business."

Madam Utami tightened her jaw firmly. He wanted to slap the two people in front of him. Humiliate them. And yelling gave off all the emotions in his heart.

Madam Utami sighed. Neutralizing the sense that was currently able to stifle his chest. "I don't want to disturb. Please continue your business."

Madam Utami looked sharply at Madam Puri. "Remember Mrs Puri Prameswari, you also have a daughter" he said.

"Ma, mama, what the hell is she talking about." Mr. Joko seemed to be still trying to control the atmosphere.

Madam Utami stared intently at the husband. Smile lightly. "We'll meet in court. Is that what you want?"

Mr. Joko is a crime. But, he was as much as possible displaying a calm expression. "Ma, what does mama mean. What trial. Don't talk weird." he scolded.

"Mrs Puri, do you forever want to be an affair. Don't you want my position. As Mrs Joko Gianindra." said Mrs Utami

"Ma... Enough..!!! Don't talk nonsense...!!" snapped Mr. Joko.

Madam Utami smiled obliquely. "alright. Leave her. Or my. Choose one." he insisted.

"Ma, why choose. Papa must have chosen mom. Only my mother is in my heart. Only mama will be the main mistress at home. Me and Puri, we're just coworkers. Not more. And there will be no more." press Mr. Joko.

Madam Utami smilingly looked at Madam Puri who was holding the seat back tightly. "You heard. You are just as a friend. And there will be no more. Thank you for giving my husband comfort in bed."

"Ma,, don't talk nonsense." said Mr. Joko.

"I know, you always accompany and pamper my husband on the bed. Then you will be given money to beautify yourself. Really great marketing."

Mr. Joko holds the wife's arm.

"Ma, we'd better go home." take Mr. Joko.

Madam Utami brushed aside quietly, her husband's hand on her arm. "Aware of oneself. Position aware. Once an affair, will never be a mistress. Forever, you will be hidden. Only the Madam, the legitimate wife in the eyes of the law will stand beside the husband." mocked Madam Utami.

"And you, Mr. Joko. Leave her. Or you will know the consequences." threatened Madam Utami.

Lina looked in admiration at Madam Utami. From the outside he looks soft. It turns out she is a great and strong woman.

"We go home." take Mr. Joko. Do not want the atmosphere and circumstances to be chaotic.

"You see. A husband will still choose his rightful wife." mocked Mrs Utami.

Mrs Puri looked on in disbelief at Mr. Joko. "Wait...!!" his yell.

"You can't just leave me. After more than ten years I have always been there for you. Then you will throw me away." said Mrs Puri, did not accept.

Mr. Joko shook his head. Putting on a face. Ask Puri to be ordinary. Do not be lured by Utami's talk.

But, still Puri could not remain silent. Every utterance that came out of Utami's mouth was how a dagger with two equally sharp sides.

"Solve it first, your business matters. Papa, I'm waiting at home."

Madam Utami turned her back and walked away from the restaurant. Until he forgot, if he left his bag on the chair near Lina.

"Where are you going. We need to talk." said Mrs Puri, as Mr. Joko was about to pursue his wife.

Lina sure. Madam Utami only strengthened her heart. He was in that position. And know how the pain is.

"We'll just bring the bag. Titipkan to the Rose." suggested Madam Tanti, feeling claustrophobic seeing the incident in front of her.

He is very grateful. Having a loyal husband. Although his health is often problematic, but the husband still survives and always accompanies him.

Today, the rose does not come to work. Because, today is the last day he and others do a clean gladi for the stage they will do tomorrow.

Roses along with several actors and other female stage participants were in one room.

Including Mira and Selly, although both are not involved in the pension. Both reasoned to accompany the Rose.

They all tried on the clothes they would wear tomorrow at the time of the event. Also the actors or pension players who are male. They are doing the same thing. In a different room.

Rose and her two friends, Mira and Selly, are in the dressing room. Try the royal princess clothes that Rose will wear tomorrow.

"Roses,, vows. Elo beautiful." praise Mira by putting her palms together in front of her chest.

"Gue take a picture of the rose, I show it to Brother Jerome." pinta Selly.

"Don't." said the Rose and the Mira together.

Selly looked at the two in turn. "I am not surprised dong. Even Jerome knows first. No thanks." said Mira.

The rose nodded, approving Mira's words. In fact, Rose was embarrassed if Selly sent her picture to Jerome. Because he has not been wearing makeup that matches his clothes. Making Roses is so insecure.

"That's right." Selly's great-grandson.

The rose takes off the clothes she wears. Put it back in its place. Along with the other schoolgirls' clothes, who were hung in the prince.

"Last one, don't forget to lock the door..!!" yell at one of them. When the others leave the room. And the rose and her two friends.

Jerome sat on the hood of the car. Look at the Rose that walks with her two best friends with a smile on her lips.

"We go first. Brother Jerome, take the rose." said Selly.

Jerome raised his thumb up. "It's been a while?" ask Roses.

"Not yet darling. Just now." said Jerome.

"Sister Jerome." said the Rose, looking left and right. "Thankfully no one heard." murmured the Rose.

Jerome just smiled. "We go eat first. Then you accompany me." ask Jerome.

"Where?"

"See my new university."

"Aren't you with Brother Tian and brother Luck?"

Jerome shakes. "Give it with you." Jerome said, getting a cut from the Rose.
