THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 84

Selly drove the car at a fairly fast pace. He did not care at all about the state of his car that could not be explained in words.

The back and side glass of the car broke. The front glass is cracked. The body of the car in some parts looks dented inward. There are also scratches in some parts.

In fact, some of the street riders were staring in wonder at them. What was on his mind was the state of the Mira family driver. "How's Mir...?!" ask Selly while focusing on the road he is going through.

"It's getting weaker." great-grandson Mira.

Undeniably. A feeling of worry rippled in the hearts of both of them. Although they knew, it was not because of their fault.

But still. They will feel guilty if the driver is not saved. "Sir, hangin. We'll get to the hospital" Mira said.

Mira's clothes and pants smell rancid. The blood coming out of the driver's body sticks and hits Mira's clothes.

"Gue must get to the hospital as soon as possible." muttered Selly, recalling the Rose who was willing to get out of the car for their sake.

"Quick Selly.." said Mira.

Selly increased the speed of his car. "Whoever,,,,!!! Help...!!!" selly shouted, as they reached the nearest hospital.

"The patient is in the car." exclaimed Selly, as a nurse approached him.

"Bag.....!!" he shouted at his colleagues, seeing the state of the patient is severe.

Mira and Selly ran together with the bangkar who brought the driver. "We will take care of the patient. Help you go ahead to register and pay the administration fee." explained a nurse, after the driver Mira was brought inside.

"Let me, elo wait here" Selly said. Mira nodded. Sit in front of the IGD.

The door opens from the inside. "I'm sorry, family patient" said a man dressed in medical clothes.

Mira stood up immediately. "Yes, I am." said Mira quickly.

"I'm sorry the patient is in a bad condition. And as for the handling, we'll need to do the surgical procedure."

Mira nodded. "Do. Do whatever is best, save his life." Mira said, back in tears.

"Good."

Selly returned with a bag of crackles in her hand. "Drink first." handed Mira a bottle of mineral water.

Mira took and drank some sips, also with Selly. "Where?" ask Selly.

"Must have surgery" Mira said with tears back on her cheeks.

"Relax, everything will be fine" Selly said trying to calm Mira down. Even though he himself also experienced things like Mira felt.

Afraid that the Mira family driver will not survive. Given how bad the driver is. "Have you called mama or papa elo?" ask Selly.

Mira shakes her head "Good, Rose. What about the rose." Mira remembered her best friend.

"really. I don't have a cell phone" Selly said, because the phone was in Rose's hands.

Mira took her phone. Calling the Rose immediately. "Hello Rose, how about you?" ask Mira.

"Thank God." Mira looks relieved. Mira's speechless. Listen carefully to what the rose says.

"good. I and Selly will do what you ask." said Mira, looking at Selly.

"He was in the operating room" Mira said, speaking to Rose across the phone. Then put his dead phone in his pocket.

Mira tells Selly what the Roses want. Selly simply nodded in agreement without asking why.

He was convinced that the Roses told them to do it for a very good reason. "Call our parents." pinta Selly.

Mira nodded. Contacting her mom and also Mama Selly. They said they were both in the hospital. Without explaining what happened.

Mira said only that their driver was in critical condition. "How's it?" ask Selly.

"They'll be here." said Mira.

"alright. Better to change clothes. We replace. Isn't there in the car our shirt." suggested Selly.

Mira nodded. Looking at the clothes attached to his body the smell of rancid and dirty. "Gue first." said Mira.

"Yes, I'm waiting here." Selly said. The two changed their clothes.

Because there is no way they left the driver who was doing the operation.

Jerome and the others left the scene. The rest is taken care of by Luck's subordinates. Erza's headquarters was their destination.

Erza called a doctor to check on the condition of the Rose which is now in her base. Certainly Erza's family doctor.

Finished checking the Rose, the doctor was escorted back by Luck's subordinates who went along with them.

"You better take a break" said Jerome staring at the Rose with sadness.

The rose chuckles softly. "What's wrong with your face. Didn't I ever experience anything scarier than this."

"Roses.." call Jerome.

"Khemmm, it's true Jee said, you have to rest" Deren said.

Deren was sure that the Rose was in shock and still left in fear. See what's happening in front of him.

Without Deren knowing, if previously the Rose had also experienced terrible things with Jerome.

As they were talking, the Rose's phone shook. "Who?" ask Jerome.

"Mira." said the Rose, immediately answering a phone call from Mira.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Now I'm in one of the people's houses. They'll take me home when it's safe" Rose told a lie.

Jerome and the others smiled at what Rose had told her best friend across the phone.

They understand why the rose does not tell the truth. Because it is better that his two best friends do not know anything. Isn't that safer.

"Mira, listen to me. Listen to me carefully. If you are asked by anyone. Whosoever. Including your parents or the police. Tell me if you've never seen their faces. Satpun. Remember, do what I say." ask the Rose to his best friend.

"OKAY. I'll explain in person, after we meet later."

"How's your driver doing?" ask Roses.

"alright. You guys be careful." Rose ends her phone call with Mira.

Deren stared intensely at the Rose. Deren thought, if there's anything the Roses know. "Why did you ban them?" ask Deren.

Deren felt it best to report to security was the best way. "Because they're so dangerous" explains the Rose.

"dangerous. Precisely it. They're very dangerous. It is appropriate that we report to the authorities. They will get punished. It's worth it, Rose." explains Deren thinking like a good man.

"You sure. Everything will be done with us reporting to the authorities." press Rose.

"What's the point of wearing a mask. What good are you and them wearing face coverings. What?!" ask Roses.

"What you see and you believe in, is not entirely true" Jerome said.

"They're not just one group, or two groups. They're plenty. And as you know. Dangerous." continued Jerome.

Deren quiet. He did not understand the affairs of the underground world. But even so, at least Deren can think a little realistically.

"Not only those who will get caught up in the law. We all. We're involved, Deren. Either as a witness or even a suspect." explained Rose.

Jealous. Deren is burning jealous. He also wanted to be noticed by the rose. The rose was closer to Jerome.

"Hold your emotions. We just had a hard time. Think wisely." whispered Tian to Deren.

The mood was silent for a moment. Until the sound of the rose broke the silence. "Your base is much cleaner now." said the Rose, looking around.

Erza gulped her saliva violently. "Why did the Rose even say that." Her mind, not daring to look at Jerome.

Jerome remembered the words of the Rose before coming here. Roses said that the distance between them and Erza's headquarters was not too far.

"Rose, have you ever been here?" asked Jerome gently.

Deren, Tian, and Luck stared at Erza. So did Erza's colleagues. The colleagues held a smile, moreover Erza looked like she was going through an inner pressure.

Erza looked at the Rose, shaking her head slowly. I hope the rose doesn't tell me the truth. "Ever." great-granddaughter Rose innocently.

"Campus." murmured Erza lowered her head. Erza's colleagues immediately smiled to throw their faces.

"When?" jerome asked, glancing sharply at Erza. "It's better to sit down" said Jerome, as Erza was about to step foot, fleeing from Jerome.

Erza moved her hand as if she was flexing a muscle. "Who wants to go, my body is only on a pegel" he said.

"When.." said the Rose.

Soon Erza snatched the word Rose. He was afraid that the Rose had spoken wrongly. Wouldn't he be in big trouble. "We both accidentally met. I saw that the rose was not okay. I brought you here." explained Erza.

Jerome looked at the Rose, desiring an explanation coming out of the mouth of the Rose. Then the Rose nodded, confirming Erza's words.

After all, there was no way the Rose would tell the true events of that time. Where she meets Caty, she ends up being slapped by her father.

Deren was silent, his brain was thinking everywhere. Since when did Roses and Erza know. Since when did Erza and Jerome look like best friends.

"Elo should know the limits of the elo, Erza." press Jerome warned.

"Yes." said Erza twirled her eyes with a puff.

The rose was only indifferent, because she did not know what was going on between Jerome and Erza. "How did you get involved?" ask Luck who has been curious since.

"The four of us were on our way home from Mira's grandmother's house. Then...." The rose tells all of its events in detail.

"Surely they think you're recording their actions." guess Tian.

Roses nodded. "Yes, Roy asked for it" said Rose.

"You record it?" erza asked, Rose shook her head.

"Will it be safe, just let them go?" ask the rose suddenly. With a straight forward look, it looks serious.

All eyes looked towards the rose. "If it's not wrong Roy's friend there are three more. They are just like Roy, the leader of the motorcycle boy." explained Rose.

"Roses.." Jerome muttered in surprise.

Not just Jerome, everyone looked surprised. How far the rose knows about them. And how can.

"Roses, how do you know?" lirih Deren's.

Rose pulled out her phone. "Still remember." she showed Jerome a picture of four men inside.

Jerome nodded. "Yes, they." Jerome seemed to think something.

"Can I borrow?" luck said. Rose handed her cell phone to Luck.

"It was just an accident" Roses said, explaining the origin of the photo.

"really. But they are also just subordinates. There are people who move them again." great-granddaughter of Luck's subordinates, who did understand that.

Luck and Tian stared at the Rose with great aim. Like Deren, both Luck and Tian were astonished as well. Why did the rose know all this.

"To my knowledge, the core group had a small mark on its palm. Pretty small. So that only certain people can find out." explained Erza's colleague.

The rose bit her fingernails. His mind went back to Amel. "Did Amel know that his lover was a dangerous man. I have to find out." Inner Rose.

"Aster flowers." chirps Luck's subordinate. "That is engraved with a small size, directly fused with the skin. It will never be lost in a lifetime." he continued.

Roses look up. "Bu-bu-flower daisies. White and yellow." the Rose's great-grandson, got a nod from Luck's subordinates.

"What's up. Have you seen him?" jerome asked, as the face of the Rose changed pias.

The rose immediately shook. "No. Just,,, maybe ever. But forgot. I don't know." said the Rose.

The rose and Jerome looked at each other. Jerome blinked his eyes, gesturing for the Rose. And the Rose understood what Jerome wanted.

Unfortunately, Erza's eyes were quite observant. Erza smiled faintly. Know if anything is known by the Roses and Jerome. "Elo is indeed full of surprises, Roses." Inner Erza.

"Oh,, yes. Your exams are over?" ask Rose, shifting their subject.

"Today is the last day" Tian said.

"We'll be separated soon. Elo don't miss ya." seduce Luck on the Rose.

The rose chuckles softly. Jerome smiled looking at the beautiful face of the Rose. His worry has now disappeared. "Idihih.. ngapain Rose kangen same brother Luck." said Roses.

"How about I move to an elo school." said Erza, getting a shot from Jerome.

Erza scratched the hair on her head that was not itchy. "Gue just asked. No real intention." great-granddaughter Erza.

"If you want to move, just move. School is open to the public." said Roses.

"Not Roses, kidding. In the school there are lions." Erza quipped.

"Ehh,, aren't you approaching Dona's sister?" ask the spontaneous Rose, indeed all students know this.

Erza smiled crisply. "No, it's just free time." said Erza, staring at Jerome's annoyance. If it wasn't for Jerome's request, Erza would have done it.

"Where do you want to go to college?" ask Roses.

"If I am, just here." said Luck.

"Same, I am too." - Timpal Tian.

"Sir Deren the same Jerome?" ask Roses.

The Rose's cell phone rang, before the two answered the question of the Rose. "Who?" erza asked, because the Rose did not lift her immediately. Even looking at the phone screen.

Roses shake. Indicates if the number is not Rose save in the contact list. "What is he again." Inner Rose.

Who else if not a friend of Amel's lover. Roses have blocked their numbers many times.

But he instead used a new number to re-contact the Roses without shame. "Hello." Rose decided to pick up her phone call.

Both of Rose's eyebrows shot up, with a cell phone stuck to his left ear. The rose smiled slanted. All who are around the Rose, look closely at the Rose.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not home. Maybe it's still tomorrow back in town." explained Rose.

"Hmmm..." Rose immediately turned off her phone. "Aster flowers." Inner Rose.

Frozen roses. Remember if he ever saw the flower. The rose knows and knows its owner.

Rose Chest rumbles. "What's possible. But, how can." Inner Rose.

"Roses, Roses, are you okay?" Jerome moved his palm in front of the Rose's face.

"Huh. I'm good." said the Rose nervously.

"Roses, tell. What's up, we'll help." Luck suggested.

"Roy, the one who contacted me earlier was Roy's friend." explained Roses.

"You mean. Roy who was secured by Jerome's man?!" ask Deren.

Roses nodded. "One of them was my coworker's girlfriend at the boutique." explains Rose.

Deren frowned. "work. You work. In the boutique." Deren does not know if Roses works at the boutique owned by Mrs Utami, her mother Dona.

"Since when?" deren's asking was really news that left him in shock.

Jerome and Erza looked calm. They both know everything. The two also knew, if one of them tried to approach the Rose.

"Didn't you block the number" Jerome said.

"Indeed. But he always wears a new number every time he calls me." explains Rose.

Deren standing. "wait. Explain everything. Why am I such a moron here!!" deren exclaimed, feeling like he knew nothing.

Jerome. He seemed to quickly find out all about the Roses easily. He was the one who approached the rose first. But why is everything like this.

"Deee...." Tian tried to calm Deren down. Tian is just like Deren. He also understands nothing.

Roses work. Work where. The man who approached the rose. Or what. However, Tian was aware. His feelings with Deren's feelings were different.

The rose stared intensely at Deren. The rose knows why Deren behaved that way. "Why are you giving Jerome space, but not with me?!" deren asked raising his tone of voice.

"It's cool...!! Hold your emotions." asserted Luck.

"Roses. You reject my love. Saying if you don't want to be in love with anyone. But what, you're lying. You gave Jerome space. Why??!" exclaim Deren.

Everyone was stunned by Deren's confession. Love statement. Especially Jerome, he doesn't even know if Deren ever did it.

Roses stand. "Ask everything to Jerome. Aren't you guys best friends." Cynical Rose.

Jerome shook his head with a disappointed look. Deren's feet stepped back. He could guess what was happening, by just looking at Jerome's facial expression.
