Rose With Thorns

Masa kecil bolehlah tak indah, namun apakah masa depan juga harus mengalami hal serupa? Bukan masalah harta, bukan pula masalah percintaan. Sebab, yang Kalanaya Indah Ayuningtyas alami adalah masalah keluarga. Namun, semua itu tak berarti apa-apa. Karena dirinya sudah membentengi diri untuk selalu menjadi wanita yang kuat. Seperti wanita mandiri pada umumnya, ia tampil di dunianya yang tak sederhana bak tak memiliki masalah apa-apa. Sudahlah, karena semakin lama, justru ia pun sudah semakin terbiasa. "Di suatu hari nanti, aku nggak boleh merepotkan siapa pun, aku nggak boleh memanjakan diri sendiri dengan terus meminta bantuan orang lain. Aku harus kuat, agar aku bisa berdiri di kaki sendiri. Karena sangat menyakitkan sekali ketika kita tak bisa apa-apa, tetapi tak ada yang membantu kita untuk bangkit dan bergabung dengan mereka yang lebih berdiri gagah di sana." Yeah, inilah dunianya. Dunia kelam yang coba ia taklukan agar tak menjadi menyeramkan dan membunuhnya pelan-pelan. Karena jauh di dalam hati sana, ia tak ingin kejadian lalu mengulangnya kembali di masa kini. ****

I kept on running with Kay as we manoeuvred our way through the messy crowd. Kay pulled me through and we finally got out of the club. We couldn't take the main entrance because Yoshim's men were there. We were running through the dark alley, panting and gasping for air. Relief washed over me when I realised that I finally left that hell hole. We kept on running when I heard a gunshot. I immediately halted and felt a warm liquid trickling down my arm. I looked around and saw no wound, I glanced at Kay and my eyes widened. I immediately brought my hand to my mouth trying to suppress the scream that wanted to come out. Kay held his arm as he bled profusely, he groaned in pain and fell on his knees. “Oh my God, Kay are you alright? Ugh, what am I going to do.” I said while hyperventilating. I heard footsteps and looked up only to be met by those same devilish eyes. He wore a grin on his face. And to his left was Gail who clung to him like a barnacle. How did he even know I escaped? “Haha, I overheard your little conversation with the guard, so I told Yoshim.” She smiled while talking. “Gail, what the is wrong with you?” I said with anger and tears in my eyes. She shrugged her shoulders and her mouth curved into a smile. I pressed my hand on Kay's wound to stop the bleeding, he groaned in pain and I couldn't stop my tears. “I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago.” Yoshim said while pointing a gun to my head. I closed my eyes and waited for him to pull the trigger.
