THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 62

"Kok no rame-rames." Inner Dona. The return hours for boutique employees have arrived. Currently, they were all in the front parking lot of the boutique.

Dona hoped for a screaming and angry scene. It doesn't even matter if someone is speaking rudely and swearing. Certainly from the old officer of the mother who addressed the Rose. But everything looks adem ayem.

Dona looked at all the servants of the mother with a look of wonder. "Why with them?" Dona's eyes look at Amel. Because he still remembers clearly. If the bag that was on Amel's shoulder that he took the contents. Then he put it in the Rose's bag.

"Hasn't he realized it yet." Dona looked at Amel, trying to guess why Amel looked ordinary.

Amel tried to hold back his laughter. He knew that Dona was watching him. But Amel deliberately threw his gaze in the other direction, and only focused on Madam Utami. "Yes, maybe he doesn't know yet if his wallet is gone." Inner Dona, trying to think according to what he wants.

"But not fun dong, if he yearns at home." Dona tries to make a plan, so Amel opens his bag. And realize that something's missing from his bag.

Dona had not yet opened her voice, Madam Utami said goodbye first. Dona's plan failed miserably. "Everything, my daughter and I go home first." said Mrs Utami.

"Please ma'am." they said in unison.

"Dona, you're so dumb." said the mother, looking at her daughter as if she was confused.

"Ahh, yes ma. My rose came home first. You want some nebeng?" dona laughs smiling.

In his heart he cursed the rose. Saying unclean if he gets a car with a rose.

Smiling roses. "No need, thank you. There is already my ojek subscription." said Rose. Surely lying. Where ever the Rose wears an ojek. He would definitely prefer to ride the angkot.

"All right." With her sweet smile, Dona waved her hand. "Be careful" said the rose.

Dona's facial expression changed instantly while in the car. "How can. Why they look okay." Dona frowned.

"No what. I can ask Mom tomorrow. Or, I'll just go to the store again. Who knows they're fighting tomorrow." Inner Dona.

"What's the matter Don?" asked the mother, looking at Dona who seemed confused since coming out of the boutique.

"No ma, just thinking about the problem of lessons in school" said Dona reasoned.

Santi, Tia, and Amel burst into laughter as the car carrying Dona and Mrs Utami left the boutique and was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's see, Dona's expression. Oath like a dazed man." Oceh Amel.

"really. Gosh darn. He must have felt a lot of chaos between us." said Tia.

The rose only remained silent as it stared confusedly at its three comrades. "Look at the rose, he must be confused" said Santi.

"What the hell is mbak?" ask the curious rose.

Amel raised his palm in front of the rose. "Borrow your bag." asked Amel.

The rose is still. Seemed doubtful. "Have it, give it." Tia timpal.

The rose took the bag off his shoulders. Give it to Amel. Relax, Amel opened it. "Here we go."

Amel took a purse out of the Rose's bag. "Loh, it's not mine" said Rose immediately astonished.

Amel returned his bag to the rose. "indeed not. People belong to me." Amel put his wallet in his bag.

Rose looked at the puzzled three of his comrades. How could Amel's wallet fit into his bag. Even he himself does not know. Since when.

"What the hell is it. Then, it's Amel's wallet, why is it in the Rose bag" said Roses still look confused.

"Dona did it." explained Santi.

"Dona." great-granddaughter of Roses. "God. Tuh son. There's just his behavior." he continued.

"But how do you know?" ask Roses. While he knows nothing at all.

"Santi who saw it." said Amel.

"Yes, I'm lucky I saw it. If not...." Santi stopped his sentence, looking towards the Rose. Surely they would have thought if the rose had taken it.

"Thank you brother. I thought, Miss Dona was really good. It turns out." said the rose with a small rarity.

"I even thought that all the stories you told us were lies, seeing how friendly Dona was to you. Sorry." great-granddaughter Santi.

"Okay, no problem." said the Rose.

"You must remember the rose. The devil will never be an angel." Tia chirped.

"true."

A black luxury car stopped in front of them. Make them stop talking. They all stared at the car in front of him.

A man got out of the car. Looks handsome with a neat suit. With a smile on his lips.

The expression on Rose's face instantly turned flat. Look who got out of the car. "Darling." said Wiryo, looking at the Rose gently.

The rose immediately changed her facial expression. He didn't want his three co-workers to know what was going on. "Dad." sahut Roses.

"Introduce brother. He's Rose's father." The rose smiled as she introduced the father.

"Ooo, Amel, um."

"Santi."

"Tia."

The three take turns to shake hands with Wiryo. "Wirjo. His father Rose." said Wiryo introduced himself.

"Yes, we go home." take Wiryo to the Rose.

Inevitably, the Roses are according to what Wiryo said. He did not want to make a fuss and caused himself embarrassment in front of the three.

"Sister, Rose first." said Roses, getting into the father's car.

"Yes, Rose. Careful."

The three stared at the car Rose was riding in with astonished gazes. "You must have the same thought." guess Tia.

Santi and Amel nodded together. "But, yes, that's it. Maybe Rose wants to learn independently. That's why it works."

"Or, it could be. The car still credits. And the Rose just wants to reduce the burden on her parents."

"It can be."

This is where the Rose and Wiryo are. In a restaurant that according to Wiryo usual. Because Wiryo is used to coming to a place like this.

But Roses feel better eating in stalls, as long as they are with the right people. Than in a fancy restaurant. But eating with people she didn't expect at all.

"Do you like it?" wiryo asked, hoping that the Rose's answer could make her feel happy.

"Roses prefer mother's cooking." replied the Rose with a flat expression without looking at the father.

Wiryo smiled. He saw the forced look on the face of the Rose as he sat down. "Roses don't want you to wait too late. You better say, why take the rose to eat here?"

Earlier, while still in the car Rose gave a written message to the mother. He said he would be late to go home. Because the shop is still a little crowded.

Not without reason did Rose say that. Because my mom works the day shift. This means that her mother is now home. Awaiting return.

Their brief conversation came to a halt as a few servants arrived. And serve some kind of food and drink.

The rose smiled faintly. "Thank you." Wiryo told the waiters. They nodded slightly and immediately left the table.

"We should eat first." take Wiryo to the princess.

Without wasting any time, Rose immediately ate the dish that was on the plate quickly.

As usual, the food is served on a plate in a restaurant. The food must have been a little. But it's pretty tasty and delicious.

It took no more than ten minutes for the rose to spend a few dishes on top of the meal.

Wiryo just sighed seeing what the princess was doing. Even the Roses did not care at all about the few people around them who were looking at him with trivial and disgusted gazes.

He just wanted to get out of this place. The rose will not be full either. Even though I ate some dishes. Because it is only a few spoons.

"Say. I'm done eating. Even you can see. I spent some kind of food on a different plate." Cynical Rose.

Wiryo tries to hold back her emotions. If it was with Caty alone he could hold back the emotions. He would do the same to his daughter.

Wiryo immediately asked the point. "Why are you working?" ask Wiryo.

The rose looked at itself sharp and cold, there seemed to be a smile on the lips of the Rose. But a smile that is trifling.

Wiryo's chest is painful. Nope. He opened the rose. She's not her old little daughter. Briefly and quickly, the Rose turned into another figure. Which he doesn't even know.

"Lantas, in your opinion, what should I do. Quit school?" ask the rose firmly.

The rose smiled slanted. "There was someone who urged and told me to enter the school. Although it is very expensive. And I, will realize his dream." said the Rose.

Nope. It was not this kind of conversation that Wiryo wanted. He wants to talk to the innocent, innocent, friendly, polite Roses, and of course the Roses that always smile warmly.

"If there's nothing else you say and you ask. Better Roses come home soon." concluded Roses.

"Why don't you ask Dad for money?" the words finally came out of Wiryo's lips.

The rose chuckles softly. He does not want to be the center of attention of other visitors. Trying to hold back his emotions from stirring.

"asked. Is it not the duty of a father to give a living for his son. What the rose must ask for." said the sharp Rose.

The word Rose is like a sharp knife that pierces into the lung cavity of Wiryo. So suffocating. "I'm sorry, it seems like I've been here too long."

"Rose, stop working. I'll finance you." pinta Wiryo, wants to make a deal with Roses.

The rose smiled amusedly. A funny-sounding request in the ears of the Rose. "God, it's your duty, sir." press Rose.

"But I'm sorry, I'm not a kid that can be set up again. I have a will and a will. And I will do what I want." continued Rose.

The rose glanced at the father's cell phone which continued to light up earlier. Although not sound. There are affectionate calls and love emojis on the screen. MY LOVE & I LOVE

And Rose believes she is his stepmother's future. "Also, you better not have to bring anything for the Roses. From childhood, Roses are used to wearing cheap things. Rose skin will definitely be sensitive to wearing expensive items."

Wiryo knows where the Rose is going. Wiryo wants to open his mouth, but again the Rose precedes him. "Preferably, I'll be home soon. Looks like Rose's stepmother-to-be is very worried about dad." Rose smiled cynically.

The rose stood up from its seat. "The rose awaits the wedding invitation of father and him."

The rose picked up the bag she had placed on the chair next to her. And walk out the restaurant. Wiryo looked at the princess's back with a glare.

Wiryo did not prevent the departure of the Rose. There was a sense that could not be described in Wiryo's heart. A very painful feeling.

Wiryo felt the Roses were now very changed. He felt, Roses put thorns around him. Until no one can touch it. Including himself.

Rose's gaze, Rose's way of speaking, Rose's step. Even everything changed. The aura that the Rose emits can certainly intimidate the interlocutor.

Wiryo scooped her face rough. "What a big deal, the impact of my divorce with Lina for Roses." murmured Wiryo.

Without Wiryo knowing. The rose harbors great disappointment for its betrayal. A sense of disappointment that turned into a barrier between himself and the princess.

"Should have been, Roses could understand. Why we got divorced. Why did Roses behave like that." murmured Wiryo did not feel guilty at all.

Behind Wiryo, a teenage boy tightened his grip. He was intentionally in that place.

Tonight, Jerome replaced the father to attend a dinner invitation with his business partner and his family from abroad.

Because the father outside the city could not fulfill the invitation, he decided to represent Jerome. Given if tomorrow his business partner will return to his country.

A few meits ago, Jerome's eyes looked at the newly arrived figure. Roses and Wiryo. Soon Jerome turned his gaze in the other direction.

I wish the rose would not see it. Lucky Jerome, it turns out they both chose to sit right on the back table of his body.

Make her freely hear what the Rose and Wiryo are saying.

When the papa's co-worker decides to go home first, Jerome invites. While he reasoned he still wanted to spend time here.

In fact, Jerome just wanted to steal the conversation between the child and the father.

Jerome immediately got up from his seat. Chasing the Roses that have come out of the restaurant. In the parking area. Jerome's gaze swept around. Wish the rose was still around him.

Jerome speechless. ''Roses should go that way." guess Jerome. Because that's where the way home for the Rose to his home.

Get on the bike and look for the rose. She was sure, though Rose said it was very cold and looked fine in front of her father.

But Jerome was convinced, there was a feeling of sadness in the Rose's heart. "I didn't expect you to have such a heavy burden."

Jerome drove his bike slowly. With a look to the left. I hope he finds the rose.

Jerome saw a woman sitting on a long chair located on the sidewalk. And he is the Rose.

"Rose." call Jerome, stop the bike right in front of the Rose.
