THORNY ROSE
CHAPTER 99

"Please drink." said Mrs Mesya as her maid lowered several glasses of drinking water on the table.

Tonight, Jerome's family's residence has a guest. They are Dona and her parents. And Jerome, of course, also sat in the living room chair for the desire and insistence of the mother.

Jerome has refused. But Mrs Meysa reasoned unkindly. Dona is also downstairs.

With a lazy step, Jerome walked behind the mama. Unlike Jerome, Dona smiled broadly at Jerome's arrival.

"If only Grandpa were still here. Surely now I will not sit here." he lamented, because the grandfather prefers to live in his own residence after returning from abroad.

Jerome knows why his grandfather wouldn't stay with them here. Especially if it's not for my mom.

Jerome knew that his mother and grandfather were no match. Madame Meysa tried and always poisoned Jerome's mind with something bad about her grandfather.

However, all of this is not at all effective. Since childhood, Jerome did have a strong personality and stance. He is not easy and does not just believe in the words of people. Even though they are his own family.

Jerome prefers silence, when someone is trying to undermine his way of thinking. Not responding at all. But Jerome will soon find out the truth.

Madam Mesya glanced towards Jerome. "You'll graduate soon. Dona, where do you want to continue your education, baby? What if one university is just like Jerome?" ask Mrs Mesya at once to give input.

Dona smiled welcoming Mrs Mesya. But Jerome's words reminded him of something. Exam grades. "Mama is sure, Dona will be accepted there." Jerome insinuated Dona with his spiciness.

"Jeeee.." reprimanded Mrs Mesya. "Sorry, Jerome was just kidding. We all know how smart Dona is." she continued, bad for both of Dona's parents.

Dona smiled stiffly. While Jerome chided, because he knew everything. "Savvy. Elementary school kid lessons alone he can't." Trifling Jerome inwardly convinced.

And Mr. Joko, a fake smile. He also felt sanctioned if the princess could one school with Jerome. He knows what Dona's abilities are.

But not Mr. Joko's name, if it can not grant the princess' request. The origin of this also made him feel the benefits. Even in a dirty and sneaky way.

"Hopefully, just pray jeng." said Mrs Utami hope. Even if he knew it was impossible.

"Aunty isn't going to the boutique?" jerome asked, but the clock still shows it is still early if the boutique is closed.

"So aunt came home first. The key to the boutique was left to one of the employees." explained Mrs Utami.

Actually Jerome also wants to know, whether the Rose has come home or not.

Without Jerome noticing, the Rose was in danger. Jerome's cell phone was not in his hands, but in the room.

Jerome did not bring a cell phone because the mother who suddenly entered without permission into his room. Tell him to come out immediately to join the living room.

"Oh yes Jerome, the rose was already the same aunt's permission." said Mrs Utami told.

Mr. Joko, Mr. Adipavi, and Mrs Mesya looked questioningly at Mrs Utami. "Roses, who is he?" ask Mrs Mesya suspiciously.

Mrs Mesya's men could not get information about the woman sitting at the table with Jerome and her two friends with Mr. Dewanto while they were at the restaurant. Even his face.

All of that is because Jerome closed the access and threw away all or anything that could make the mother know about the Rose. Jerome really wanted to protect the rose.

Jerome doesn't want Madame Priyanka's incident, Deren's mom to happen to him. The mother warned the rose to stay away from him.

Jerome could even guess what the Roses would do if it happened now. Surely the Rose would not think twice to do so.

Because in the heart of the Rose has not been engraved the name of Jerome until this moment. And Jerome won't let that happen.

"He's my employee at the boutique. Beautiful, smart, and hardworking." praised Madame Utami on the figure of the Rose.

Dona smiled cynically hearing the mother praise the Rose with a proud look. "Gue his biological son, so much to praise the Roses. Damn it." said Dona in the heart, there was a little envy in Dona's heart.

Jerome smiled inwardly. "If my mother were Aunt Utami. I'm sure I'll ask for his help now. To approach the Rose." Inner Jerome, unfortunately it will never happen.

"Then, what does Jerome have to do with Roses?"

"He's Jerome's underclassman. Still first class. Rose was chosen as Jerome's partner in retirement." Jerome explained to his mother, before Dona said something that harmed the Rose.

Madam Mesya nodded slowly, while reading the expression on the son's face. "It doesn't look like a rose." Madam Utami, guessing the woman at the restaurant with Jerome.

"Why not Dona?"

"Where Jerome knows. It's the committee's decision." - Jerome, when in fact he's the one who set it all up.

I want Dona to make a sound. Said that Jerome wouldn't have followed the pension if it wasn't his partner's rose. But Dona did. He didn't want to look more heartless in front of Jerome.

Dona is telling the truth or not. Jerome would not care about him either. To Jerome, Dona was nowhere to be seen in either eye.

"Ckk,,, Jerome you better ask them, give the role of Rose to Dona. Surely you will be in harmony." suggested Mrs Mesya.

Dona cursed in the heart. "Bego, why from yesterday I didn't think until there. Aunt Meysa would be happy to help me." Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Ma... Don't interfere in school matters." - Adipavi, reprimanded, felt that the wife was too childish.

"Don't jeng. That's right Mr. Adipavi said. Not good with school. It's just a pension. Why fuss about that kind of thing." Mrs Utami also agreed with Mr. Adipavi.

Dona melengos's. Disappointed with mom. Sure oes. Even if you want, Mrs Mesya can do it easily. "Mama, actually mama knows not. I like Jerome." - furious Dona in the heart, felt the mama lean more towards the Rose than she was.

Mr. Joko noticed every expression of the princess. He smiled faintly. "If I could talk to this family. Surely the wings of my business will be increasingly flapping." inwardly.

The binding plan is already in Mr. Joko's mind. Jerome and Dona. "I'll have Dona approach Jerome."

"How's Dami, om, auntie? I hadn't seen him in a long time." Jerome immediately switched the subject of their conversation.

"He was busy in college. Moreover, om also wants Dami like you. Helping the family company." explains Mr. Joko.

"Ma, is dinner ready?" asked Mr. Adipavi, feeling they had talked for a long time.

Mrs Mesya called one of the maids at her house and asked about dinner.

All the food is neatly arranged on the dining table. Two families have dinner together, enjoying what's on each plate.

Sometimes Dona steals a glance at Jerome. "How pleased I am. If Jerome and I were lovers. Even a couple of wives." Inner Dona fantasized.

And Jerome, I'd like to finish this dinner soon. Jerome was going to pick up Rose when he got home from work.

"Ehh, my phone must have been left in the room." Jerome muttered, as his hand felt his pants pocket.

While in the car, Rose's brain kept turning. Looking for a way to get away from the bastard beside him. "Snap and get out of the car. I'm not that stupid. I'm even fucked." great-grandson of the Roses.

The rose growled inwardly, remembering Jerome had not immediately come to his aid. "Come Roses, think. Use your brain. Don't always expect a hero to come." The rose kept looking for a way to escape from Raka.

Once Jerome helps himself when he and his two best friends are going back to town. The rose felt that there was someone she could rely on.

But now, the rose is back. Live in the world, never rely on the ability and pity of others.

Krucukkk.......

The rose threw her face to the side. Raka smiled faintly hearing the sound of Rose's stomach. "You hungry?" ask Raka.

He wanted Raka to stop the car. "Lord. Help me again." ask the Rose, hoping for help from the Creator.

Raka stopped the car on the side of the road. "Don't try to escape. I can see you from there." Raka said.

Raka got out of the car. Buying food at a roadside stall. But Raka's eyes remained focused on the car.

The rose is still inside. "Gue should hurry out." muttered the Roses looking ahead.

From the glass, the rose can see clearly. If Raka keeps an eye on herself from the stall while standing in line for food.

Rose knows, why Raka didn't bring her over to eat there. Or eat at another place. Like restaurants.

Because, most likely the Rose will easily run away if it is outside the car.

Smiling roses. He knows what he has to do. Rose took off her seat belt and her jacket. Pick up wallets and phones that have died from running out of power, then put them in the pants pocket.

The rose is calm. With a slow movement. He did not want if Raka to be suspicious. The rose put the jacket outside the bag.

So it looks like a rose put up but a jacket on his head. Slowly, the rose lowered its body. Replaced with a backpack-shaped bag with a jacket. It is placed on the seat by tightening it using a seat belt.

From the other direction, Raka sharpened her vision when the head of the Rose was invisible. Wants Raka back to the car, but Raka uncovers when looking back at the Rose's head covered in a jacket hat.

Slowly, Rose opened the car door slowly. Get out of the car by crawling. With his heart pounding with fear, the Rose turned to the right and left.

The rose only carries her wallet and cell phone. Let the textbooks and uniforms be in the car. Most importantly, the rose can come out. The Rose can buy it again.

Luckily Felix and Mondy, as well as Raka's subordinates, did not stop their vehicle when Raka pulled over. And buy food for the Roses.

Not wanting to lose much time, the Rose crawled forward quickly. The rose does not crawl forward. There is only a road ahead. Surely Raka who is in the stall behind the car will know.

Roses enter into lush plants that are beside the road, ornamental plants that are used as road dividers.

The rose controls his breath. "God, why my phone is dead anyway." lamented Rose.

The rose kept on crawling forward. Not standing and running. Although behind him there are some plants that can slightly block the eyes of Raka.

According to Rose, if she stood up, Raka would know if she ran away. The body of the rose is higher than that of the roadside as a barrier.

Withstanding the pain in the palms of the hands and in the knees, the Rose crawled quickly like a baby. The rose looks back. Raka was walking towards the car, with her hands carrying a black plastic bag.

"Gue has to get out of here quickly." The rose again looked around. "Taxi."

The rose saw a taxi stop across the street. It will be difficult for Raka to catch up with him, if Mawar takes a taxi that is opposite the direction of the road with Raka's car. That's what the rose is.

The rose ran to where the taxi was. Without thinking the taxi has passengers or not.

"Roses." muttered Raka saw a figure like a Rose running across the road not far in front of her.

Soon Raka ran to the car. See if the rose is still in the car or not. "****...... The rose...!!!" raka shouted, when he found out if he was fooled by the Rose.

The taxi driver, who stopped by the road, was counting his income and pulled a taxi all day surprised when the Rose got into his cab.

"Sir, help me. The way sir, there's a bad man chasing me." Pinta Roses asked for help, with fear. For the Rose knows, if Raka has realized and seen herself.

Without much question, the taxi driver put his money in his sling bag. Run a taxi, drive it fast.

The rose looks back. Apparently Raka's car was also about to turn around to catch the taxi he was riding.

Luckily, there were a few vehicles passing by. So that Raka's steps to follow the taxi were not immediately run.

"Where are we going, mbak?" ask the taxi driver.

The rose looks back. "Aparticularly sir. Why the hell my phone uses up the battery power." sigh Rose.

"How about we go to the police station?" advice taxi driver, take his taxi quickly without a destination.

The rose immediately shook. "Don't sir." Prevent the Roses. He did not want to involve the authorities. Moreover, Mawar was convinced, if Raka would easily be free from his demands.

After that, the rose could guess. Raka will terrorize her even more. "Why are men so stubborn. I told you not to like. Stay ngeyel." annoyed Rose.

"The problem of love, take it." chirped the taxi driver, with eyes monitoring the back of the cab from the monitoring glass above.

"He's a dangerous man sir." Rose explained.

Go home. It is impossible, because the direction of the road that the Rose is headed even away from home. "really. Erza's headquarters." said the Rose, remembering Erza's headquarters that was in front of it.

"Sir, stop there. There's a big tree. You stop the cab there." ask Mawar, take the money out of his wallet.

"Bak sure?!" ask the driver, because the place designated Roses is a quiet and dark place.

"Here's money. You will immediately forward the taxi quickly after I go down." Pinta Mawar.

"Good."

As Rose said, as soon as the Rose came down, the taxi driver drove his car at a rapid rate. And the rose immediately rushed to hide behind the big tree.

Waiting for Raka's car to pass. "Lord, may my decision be right, and may also save me" said Rose.

Wuzzz...... Rose believes, the car that just drove fast in front of him is a car driven by Erza.

Feeling safe, soon the Rose ran across the street. Passing the paved road, but not so wide, but enough for one car to pass. Segers' roses are headed for Erza's base.

Although Erza's headquarters is still far away, Roses will still be there. Only that place is currently the closest place that comes to mind Rose.

Roses running. No matter what the breath is already stinged because tired mixed with fear. Sweat soaked all the Rose's clothes.

Right left of the road there are only wild bushes and plants. But the rose does not care. He was not at all afraid.

Roses are more afraid if they are caught by Raka again. I don't know what Raka would do to him. "Lord, I believe. You will protect Your servant." Inner Rose kept running to get to its destination quickly.

The rose stopped for a moment. Look back. Soon the Roses got into the wild plants and bushes by the roadside. When you realize there is a light or spotlights from behind it.

Roses are not rash. He doesn't know who it is. It could be an enemy or a bad person. The rose did not stop him.

A motorcade of several cars and motorcycles drove towards Erza's headquarters. "What's in there?" mumbles Roses curious.

Strong curiosity, makes the Rose quickly step foot into Erza's headquarters through the bush and wild plants without fear if there are animals slithering, such as snakes or other dangerous animals.

The rose is not approaching. Most importantly his two eyes could see what was happening at Erza's headquarters. "God, who are they." murmured Rose, seeing Erza's headquarters torn down and jiga burned.

Slowly, the rose walked away. He also does not know where his destination is. The most important thing now is that he's safe.

The rose stopped under the tree. "Gue where this is." - Mawar, there are only trees around. He could see because of the light from the moon.

The rose sat down and leaned her body against the tree. "I better get some rest. Just found a way out. Most importantly, Raka didn't follow me."
