Ma Queen ROSE's
Rose: The Hope That Is Hard

Cesar continued to notice Adam who looked very happy after texting someone. She held her chin up while twisting her lower lip.

"Dam, you're still sane, right?.

Hearing the sarcastic question directed at him made Adam instantly speechless. He is currently at his grandmother's restaurant Rolland where everyone connected to the mega project is having lunch together.

"What are you talking about. Why did I ask you like that?" mad at Adam while looking intently at Cesar.

"You smile to yourself like crazy, Dam. Whereas others are busy racing to spend all the food on this table!" cesar replied casually while tapping on the edge of the table. "So how could I not think you were crazy if you were the only one who did something that deviated from what you were supposed to do!.

Cesar's frank answer invited everyone's laughter, not least Rolland. The sharp-eyed and cold-faced man seemed to shake his head at the behavior of Cesar who always said arbitrarily to Adam who incidentally is his own boss. Sometimes their friendship makes Rolland feel envious, he also wants to have a friend like Cesar.

"I really want to sew your mouth right now, Ces!" adam was getting angry. "Basic leaking mouth!.

"It's still a good thing the mouth is leaking Dam, not the mouth is ripped. Just imagine if if my mouth was a torn mouth, everyone would know that you and Rose already....

Cesar's words came to a halt as Adam stuffed lettuce into his mouth. He then grumbled which made everyone come back to him.

While everyone was laughing at Cesar, Adam accidentally saw a family photo hanging in front of the entrance of a separate room. His eyes narrowed, trying to pay close attention to one of the people in the photo.

"That's a picture of me with Rose, Mommy, Daddy, my grandparents, Dam. And the one next to it is a photo of the kids who used to get free cooking classes with one of the restaurant's flagship chefs. The photos were taken just before Rose disappeared in an accident that took place seventeen years ago" Rolland said of the origin of the photos displayed on the doorstep of his family's private room. "Because of feeling very guilty, my grandmother deliberately put the photo there so that she always remembered that day she had failed to become a good grandmother. My grandmother suffered just as much as I have since Rose's departure, Dam. We all feel so lost!.

Everyone immediately fell silent as soon as they heard Rolland's words. Well, who doesn't know about the great tragedy that took away one of the Ma Family's favorite grandchildren. Even today there are still people talking about the tragedy. Naturally, because the missing are members of the most influential family in the country, making the name Rose is always mentioned by those who witnessed how devastated the Rolland family felt at that time.

"Rose really liked this restaurant. With the other children he could laugh freely, Rose played and also joked regardless of their status which mostly came from street children. Our Rose is so good, but her destiny is out of luck!" roland continued with his own eyes.

Unable to see the returning Rolland look sad, Adam immediately patted his shoulder slowly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of that, Land. I just accidentally saw the pictures and felt a little curious. That's why my attention has shifted there!.

"It's okay Dam, I'm fine."

"Land, can I see that picture from a close distance? I'm really curious about what your twin looks like?" ask Adam for permission.

"May, go ahead" replied Rolland.

"I'm coming!" said Cesar was holding on.

Before leaving, Rolland first allowed the others to continue their lunch. He then accompanied Adam and Cesar went to look at the photo of memories hanging in front of the door of his family's private room. Maybe if you look at it from the outside, the photos are not blocked by anything. But in reality, Lady Liona Serra Zhu had put up a very thin glass wall to be a barrier so that others would not easily touch the memorable photo. And it takes fingerprints from family members to open the glass wall.

"Wow, that's amazing. Just for the sake of protecting these photos your family put up such tight security, Land. Where's the sophisticated anyway!" cesar's chirps were amazed as the glass walls opened.

"Where's your sister, Land?" adam asked while paying attention to one photo where there were many children posing in their distinctive style.

"The one standing next to the chef, Dam" Rolland replied. "We are twins, but not identical. Rose inherited almost my entire face. While I look more like Mommy and also Grandma Liona. Maybe if only at a glance people will not suspect that we are twins, because we are not entirely similar!.

Adam and Cesar nodded their heads at Rolland's explanation. Adam had trouble recognizing his sister, apparently because they were not identical twins.

"Well, that's so pretty!" cry Cesar after finding the position of his brother Rolland. "Female and also very cold. God, look at Dam's eyes. Small-small but already looks fierce, what would he be if he was big huh? Maybe the mafia title is quite suitable for him!.

Adam stared fixedly at the photo of his sister Rolland. The jakun seems to be moving up and down quickly. Well, Adam realized something there. The face of his sister Rolland looks a little similar to the face of his wife. But what distinguishes them is the shape of their faces. His wife's face is oval in shape with a pointed chin like a dependent bee, while his sister Rolland's face is oval in shape and her cheeks are very round.

"What's up, Dam?" roland asked when he heard the thoughts of his best friend. "Is there something wrong with my sister's photos?.

"No Land, it's not. It's just that your sister's face looks a little like mine."

"really?.

Rolland's eyes immediately sparkled. He hopes that his girlfriend Adam is his sister. But Adam's next words were like a slap that hurt Rolland. Again his hope was forcibly foundered.

"But there's no way they're the same person, Land. Your sister Rose and I have different ages. You and your sister are twenty-four years old, while my Rose is two years younger than you. Maybe this similarity is just a coincidence, such a possibility can happen to anyone, right?.

Cesar glanced intently at Adam. He then switched to paying attention to the one-by-one photos that were there. This time Cesar was reluctant to interfere, he realized that Adam had built an invisible distance so that he did not have much noise first.

"Hmm, maybe you're right, Dam. My sister Rose can't be in your country. Sorry, I was hoping for a lot!" sahut Rolland with a bitter smile.

Not wanting to get carried back, Rolland decided to take Adam and Cesar away from there. This photo of the memories was too painful for Rolland, plus that his hopes for Adam's lover had not materialized. The more it made his chest feel so tight.

'Rose, wherever you are I hope you're in good shape. I miss you so much, Rose. Hurry back, please!....
