THORNY ROSE
CHAPTERS 148

Lina along with her parents were sitting at a table with a few people. "Welcome Mr. Tomi." said a man, aged over Lina.

"Include me, she's Lina. My daughter. Sorry, if he's never been seen before. Lina focused on being a housewife. And now, he's a little interested in the business world." explained Mr. Tomi, introducing the princess.

There is no way that Mr. Tomi or Mrs Tanti would tell the truth about what happened to the press of her work, about what really happened in her family.

"Family already. Madam Lina's husband, is she also a businessman?" ask your co-worker, Mr. Tomi, who doesn't know anything about Lina's life.

Mr. Tomi and Mrs Tanti glanced at the smiling Lina. "I am a widow. Just a few months ago my husband and I divorced" Lina said politely.

"Sorry, sorry,,, I don't know" he said regretfully, not feeling good to have asked about it.

"It's okay." lina's timpal.

"Have a son?" ask again.

Lina nodded. "One princess. Still sitting in second grade High School." explains Lina.

"alright. Introduce, he's my son. Also still studying at a college in this city." he explained.

"Why didn't your wife take you?" ask Mrs Tanti.

Lina could guess, if the relationship between her parents and coworkers they now meet, was more than just coworkers. Maybe their relationship is closer.

It looks like the way they talk. Not speaking in formal words. Impressive relaxed and family.

"My wife isn't feeling well" she explained.

"Hopefully get well soon." said Mrs Tanti.

"Thank you." he said.

Mr. Tomi and the man were talking about megenai job. With Lina also the son of Mr. Tomi's business partner, listening carefully to what the two are talking about.

Finished talking about business, they continued with lunch together. "It would be a lot of fun, if the Roses came along." said Mrs Tanti.

Hearing the word Rose, made the son of Mr. Tomi's business partner stop his movement, feeding food into his mouth.

Without looking at Madam Tanti and Lina, she sharpened her hearing. "Roses. Second grade high school" he said in his heart.

He moved his hand slowly, feeding the food back into his mouth. "But the rose does not want to ma. Let it go first. He's the least like, if forced." explains Lina, who understands the character of his daughter.

Madam Tanti smiled. "Yes, my mom won't force it. Mama's very happy, Rose wants to accept your mama and papa."

Lina stroked the mother's arm gently. "definitely. Mama take it easy, Rose is a good boy. He can blend in with anyone." Lina explained.

The young man smiled faintly. "Roses. Is she that girl? I have to find out." he said inwardly.

Inside the room, Jerome quickly snatched his phone on the table. His smile was etched on his lips, upon seeing who sent him a written message.

His smile vanished, as he read the message that Rose sent. "Why the Roses are in Dami's house.." Jerome muttered.

"Only two, with aunt Utami. What the hell." great-grandchild.

Perhaps, because of the emotion of the past few days not meeting the Rose, Jerome's brain shifted a little. So that you can't think as fast as usual.

Jerome thought for a moment. "Gosh my god."

Jerome realized, if the lover is in trouble. "Rose is in danger."

With a quick, without waiting any more, Jerome snatched the key of his bike. Running down the stairs with his hands put a jacket on his body.

"Jerome... Where are you going?!" shouted the mama who saw Jerome running in a hurry.

"Meet the Roses...!!" exciting Jerome.

Madam Mesya smiled. Unlike the old days, who will surely be angry to hear the name of the Rose. Not with now.

"If Jerome were to marry the Rose, our surname would be increasingly disinclined. And again, the Rose is the sole grandson. For sure he will be the sole heir to Mr. Tomi's countless fortunes." great-granddaughter Mistress Mesya was delighted.

"Huhh. It's lucky Jerome doesn't like Dona. Oh, my God, if that happens. Surely now our family will be involved." said Mrs Meysa, who heard rumors of the affair Mr. Joko and Mrs Puri.

"Ckk,,,, let alone,,, it turns out that Dona is so stupid. God, why did I not know it. Or maybe, I should use." Madam Mesya shuddered.

Useful. Where exists. The one who was himself brought Jerome closer to Dona because of the treasure.

At the gate of Lady Utami's house, Thomas was talking to the security guard. He was in the fence, with a security guard inside the fence. Thomas wants to go inside.

"Ehh,, wait. Are you a friend of Non-Roses?" ask the security guard.

"Yes." said Thomas.

A guard ran from behind. "What's wrong?" ask his partner who talked to Thomas.

"Is Den Jerome, or Den Dami not here yet?"

"Why indeed?"

"It looks like Mr. Joko is angry. I'm worried about Non Roses." The look of worry he can't hide.

"Gosh, what do we do?"

"I'm going to go inside. Helping them. You're right here. Who knew Den Jerome or Den Dami were coming."

"You sure?!"

"Surely, I don't care, if Mr. Joko fired me. Makes my family difficult. Poor Non Rose. Maybe he'll be wretched with Madame Utami."

"Good."

"Wait, I'm Jerome." cried Thomas lying, stopping the security guard who was about to run into the house.

The two guards stared at each other. Then the two turned to Thomas, whose head was still wearing a helmet, revealing only his eyes.

"Don't lie!" snapped by the security guard. Because they both already know how Jerome's face.

"God, why would I lie. Quickly open,, do you want, we're late for the Roses!" exclaim Thomas.

Thomas had to lie. And Thomas could guess, if they were waiting for Jerome or Dami to arrive.

"Open your helmet first?!"

There's no way Thomas would do that. He could not even go in and help the rose. "There's no time. The rose is in danger..!! Will you two be responsible, if anything happens to Roses and Aunt Utami?!" exclaim Thomas.

Even though opening a helmet is not a difficult thing and takes a long time. Thomas would not do it. Or he'll be found out.

Thomas was furious with the two guards in front of him. Thomas understood, if the two of them were just doing their duty, and being vigilant.

They must be afraid, if they put people in the wrong. And what they brought was the enemy of the rose. Which will later help Mr. Joko against Mrs Utami.

"Hurry up...!! Open...!!" thomas shouted, patience is running out.

Soon one of the guards opened the gate. Make Thomas easy to get in. Soon Thomas followed a security guard to enter the magnificent house in front of him.

Inside Mrs Utami's house, there was tension. The rose stood right in front of Madam Utami who was sitting, with her hands holding the Rose's clothes back.

Some of the servants were also cautious. Even though they are all women, it is as if they have no fear if they have to face Mr. Joko.

Take Madame Utami away, or go inside the room. Be late. "You better leave soon. Don't interfere in our affairs...!!" snapped Mr. Joko.

"will not. Do you have no shame. Come in this way." mocked the Rose.

"This child, so reckless." madam Puri.

Madam Puri's hand was about to grab Rose's arm. But a maid brushed her hand away. The opportunity Roses use to bring Mrs Utami up.

"Supply...!!" snapped Madam Puri, slapping the maid firmly, until her cheeks were red.

"Where are you taking my wife???!" yelled Mr. Joko, put his foot out. Stopping Roses.

Two of the aides stopped Mr. Joko's steps. But what power, even though they are both, but their power is still inferior to the power of Mr. Joko who is only alone.

The two helpers were easily removed. Until his body hit the wall, and the other one hit the table.

"Yes....!!" rose, felt the pain of having her hair pulled from behind.

"Roses...!!" exclaim Mrs Utami.

The rose holds her hair, so as not to hurt too much when pulled by someone from behind. Not accepting the Rose was treated like that by Madam Puri, Madam Utami pushed Madam Puri's body to fall to the floor.

"Roses,, baby. You all right?" Madam Utami stroked the Rose's hair with a worried expression.

The rose smiled and nodded. Although it was painful, but Rose did not show her pain to Madam Utami. She did not want Mrs Utami to feel guilty about her.

Mr. Joko immediately approached Madam Puri. Help him stand. "Sick mas." Shouted Madam Puri with a face expression in pain.

"Utami....!! What are you doing?!" snapped Mr. Joko.

"You ask, what am I doing? Look, he hurt the rose. Are you blind?!" madam Utami shouted, with a trembling body, between fear and anger mixed into one.

"Hahh. Didn't I tell him to get out of this house!" exclaim Mr. Joko.

Rose realized, what Mr. Joko said is indeed true. It would be inappropriate if he interfered in the family affairs of Mrs Utami and Mr. Joko.

But again the Rose felt he had to. There was a promise he had kept. There are words he must fulfill. And he could not simply heed the trust that had been entrusted to him.

Mr. Joko stepped forward. His hand raised slapped Madam Utami, but quickly, Rose positioned herself in front of Madam Utami, so that it was Rose's face that was slapped violently by Mr. Joko.

"Roses...!"

"Non Rose....!!"

Madam Utami and some maidservants shouted together. Madam Utami supported the body of the fallen Rose to the side.

Thomas who had just arrived, ran straight towards them. And give a bogem to Mr. Tomi's face.

Bugh.... Mr. Tomi is stranded backwards. "Roses...." Thomas took off his helmet. Throw it in any direction.

Taking over the unconscious body of Rose from Madam Utami. "Roses... "Thomas patted the Rose cheek gently.

Slowly, Thomas placed the head of the Rose, on the lap of Lady Utami. Thomas stand. "You dare to hurt my brother." - Thomas.

Mr. Joko smiled obliquely. "Cih,,, wrong himself, meddling in other people's affairs" he said with pride.

Both of Thomas' hands were clenched tightly. Thought Madam Utami and some crying maids shrouded the unconscious body of Rose.

Bugh,,, bugh,,,, blindly, Thomas hit Mr. Joko. Of course Mr. Joko will lose to Thomas.

While Madam Puri could only scream. Watching Mr. Joko being beaten up by the young man who had just arrived.

"That's enough.....!!!" shouted Madame Utami.

Thomas's hand that was about to float back into Mr. Joko's face came to a halt in the air. "Look, you will rot in prison." threatened Mr. Joko, with the body embraced by Mrs Puri.

Thomas laughed mockingly. "Police.... Please, I'll wait. I'll see, who can touch the Buwono family....?!" thomas exclaimed with arrogance.

Mr. Joko's expression was shocked. He did not believe it, the young man who beat him up was the grandson of Mr. Sapto Buwono.

"And do you know sir, who is the woman you slapped so unconscious. You know..??!"

Thomas smiled in anguish. "He's Rose. The grandson of Tomi Prakuso. You should know who he is."

Mr. Joko stared at the unconscious Rose. "If anything happens with the Rose, I swear, it will make your life suffer, Joko.." - Madam Utami.

The pain and fear of his heart dispelled, when he saw the state of the Rose. All that was left was anger, seeing the helpless state of the Rose.

"We'd better leave immediately." take Mrs Puri, who can read the situation.

Madam Puri also knew, who were the two names mentioned by the young man who beat up Mr. Joko. They were both aged men, but still had power and strength.

Thomas looked closely at Mr. Joko and Mrs Puri who had left the room.

"Please, take the Rose to my room." mrs Utami asked.

Thomas nodded. "Let's Den." a maid walks first. Shows the location of the room said by Mrs Utami.

Some of the maids immediately cleaned the living room. Someone rushed to the kitchen. Make drinking water for the Roses and Mrs Utami, and Thomas.

"May Non-Roses be fine." said a maid.

"really. It's beautiful, fine. If only he was dating Den Dami. Madame Alan must be happy." said another.

"May." said the other.

Mrs Utami immediately contacted her family doctor. He was worried about the Rose.

While Thomas was beside the Rose, trying to wake the Rose from his stupor, by bringing the oil closer to the Rose's nose while stroking his red cheek because of the former slap of Mr. Joko.

A maid came with a container of water and cloth to compress the swollen cheeks of the Roses. "Let me just aunt."

Thomas took the container. Patently, he compressed the Rose cheek. "Please baby, the doctor will be here soon."

It was not only Madam Utami and Thomas who were worried. But also the workers at Mrs Utami's house.

Another maid came, carrying a Rose bag in the living room chair. "Madam, Non Roses' cell phone rang" he said, handing Mrs Utami a bag of Roses.

Madam Utami reached out and took the Rose's phone inside her bag. "Mother." - Madame Utami. Know who is contacting the rose.

Madam Utami sighed. He can't possibly lie. A phone call from Lona on Rose's cell phone.

Mrs Utami tells the chronology of the incident. "I'm sorry, the rose is fainting. But I've called the doctor." explains Mrs Utami feeling guilty.

"Good." Madam Utami put the Rose's phone back in the Rose bag, after Lina ended their short conversation.

"Sorry baby, it's all because of aunty." Madam Utami gently stroked the Rose's forehead.

"Tante doesn't have to blame himself. The rose is old enough to make a decision. I think Rose made the right decision" Thomas said.

Thomas could see how Mrs Utami was doing. She did not want Madam Utami to fall ill from feeling too guilty about the Roses.

Dami came and went straight into the mother's room. "Mama.." call Dami.

He immediately hugged his mother. "Sorry, Dami's late" he said.

"Roses." great-granddaughter Dami, saw the Roses lying with both eyes closed. Dami breaks her arms to her mother.

"Sorry Rose, sorry. Dami's sister is late." said Dami, condemning her delay. But Dami also did not intend to come late.

Dami looked at Thomas, holding the cloth on the Rose's cheek. "I'm Thomas, Rose's friend" Thomas said.

Not long after, the doctor came along with the Rose family. The doctor checked the rose.

"How's doc?" ask Madam Utami and Lina at the same time.

Lina embraces Madam Utami's shoulder. Gently rubbed his shoulders. Lina couldn't possibly blame Madame Utami for the incident that befell the princess.

As Thomas said. The rose is old enough to make a decision. And Lina, instead, was proud of her daughter, who cared for Madame Utami.

"The rose was only in shock, he fainted due to the harshness of the slap from Mr. Joko. No need to worry. Soon the rose will wake up." explained the doctor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's explanation. "Joko. How dare he hurt my granddaughter." growled Mr. Tomi.

Mr. Tomi took a cell phone, contacted someone. "Give Joko a gift. Because it has rendered my grandson unconscious." ordered Mr. Tomi.

Everyone just shut up. No one dares to stop Mr. Tomi's wishes. Moreover, they understand why Mr. Tomi did this.

"Mrs Utami, it seems you will soon have a daughter-in-law." chirped the doctor, glancing at Dami who was holding the Rose palm, with an anxious expression.

All views point to Dami. Immediately Dami let go of his hand and stood up. "Roses." great-granddaughter Thomas.

Lina immediately approached the Rose spot. "Iissshhh.." sizzle the Rose, with both eyes still closed.

"Darling." call Lina again.

The smiling rose looked at the mother. "Let me help." Lina helped the Rose who was about to sit down, leaning her back on the bed.

Madam Tanti looked at the granddaughter with pity. "Are you okay?" ask her. The rose nodded with a smile.

"I'm sorry aunt." great-granddaughter Mrs Utami.

Roses shake. "No ma'am, mother is innocent. The rose chooses, not the mother asks." - Roses wisely.

"Right Madam, you're innocent. Your husband is guilty. Don't apologize." lina chimps.

"It is worth the rose so well. Her mother turned out to be an angel too." praised Madame Utami to Roses and Lina.

"It would be very nice to have a family like you." continued Mrs Utami.

"Dami, listen. Your mother has already approved. What are you waiting for." seduced the doctor.

"Om.." furious Dami, calling the doctor with a call om.

The rose that actually knew the meaning of the doctor's words just smiled awkwardly. While Thomas, the look in his eyes can not be separated from the figure of the Rose.

In front of the door, a man clasped his palm tightly. He smiled slanted. "Just boy. The roses are mine" he said.

"Darling.." called him, making everyone turn to the source of the voice.
