Felix was making a cup of coffee when the door of his room opened displaying the figure of Agatha who stepped in with firm elegance as usual.

"Oh, is it coming?" hello Felix smiled. "You want coffee?"

"No, thank you," Agatha walked over to Felix, "Where's Joshie?"

"I haven't met him yet, I thought you guys came together" Felix said in surprise, indeed he just returned from visiting the patients but he didn't meet Joshua.

"I asked her to wait for me and see you," then Agatha pulled out her phone and called her best friend.

'Hi, are you done?' joshua asked as soon as he answered Agatha's call.

"Have been and I'm with Felix. Where're you?"

'Ah, I'm sorry. It seems too cool to accompany the children in the back garden.'

"You there now?"

'Hm, I'll be right back.'

"All right."

Turning off her phone, Agatha then walked with Felix to the living room.

"You're still visiting Helen's doctor?"

"Well, that's how it is," Agatha put her shoulder indifferently, she tried to seem ordinary not to make Felix suspicious.

"You're really trying, yeah" Felix smiled, "It's okay Agatha, it looks like you guys still have a chance of both of you longer. Just enjoy it."

I did create the impression of both and tried not to have offspring. — Inner Agatha.

Before long Joshua came over with a warm smile greeting the two of them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I haven't seen the kids in a long time" he said.

Indeed, some children with disabilities in Senna Rod get treatment in the long term because of the disease they suffer. Senna Rod takes full care of the treatment as long as the patient is willing to undergo it.

"I went to see the kids in his room before I went to Felix. I love meeting positive parents who accompany their children. Such support means a lot in healing."

"You're right."

Then they talked and discussed many things. It had been a long time since they had met three like this.

"When are you gonna bring your husband here?" ask Felix. "You've been married for over a year but you didn't bring her to meet me here at all."

"Sorry, I have often invited him to come but in the end it is always canceled because the schedule changes," replied Agatha, indeed she had very often invited Christ to come but always failed.

"You're not comfortable meeting him with me?"

"It's not so, Felix. The time is not right."

"All right, I'll wait."

Then the three visited a few more patients in Senna Rod, here more old patients because people with special needs take precedence and because many of them do not have families, he said, senna Rod took good care of them. Agatha received donations and assistance from some philanthropists who wanted to disburse their funds for the benefit of Senna Rod, even though for Agatha money is not a big problem to continue to manage Senna Rod as she wanted.

A place that became another form of his love for Mikael. That the kindness taught by the young man will always be remembered to always lend a hand and help disadvantaged people who need help.

"You want to have dinner together?" ask Agatha who was directly approved by the other two.

"You want to go to the D'Blue Lane Cafe?" joshua asked an offer that was also immediately agreed by the other two. The four of them's favorite dining place used to be with Mikael as well.

"We haven't been there in a long time, have we?"

"Yes, it's been a long time."

They had lunch together and what was surprising was an accidental meeting with Arthur who was meeting there. Of course her brother did not say anything there other than throwing a piercing glare at her and Neona. But after that Arthur sent a message that made him anxious. Arthur waited for him at their residence and their mother was in the hospital until nightfall.

Christ knew her brother would definitely come after her with various questions that would likely be difficult for her to answer. And Arthur would have reminded him of his difficult times.

"How can I work quietly now?" he muttered while rubbing his face rough. His concentration has been lost since then but he still has to do his duty right?

A knock on the door made him look up, raising Leon's head which showed off a wide smile.

"What's wrong?" he asked her uninspiredly at her cousin.

"Why is your welcome that cold? Though I came to encourage you," Leon stepped his foot toward Christ. "You why the hell? What did that woman do to you?"

"Nothing, we just ate. But I met Arthur there, damn it."

Leon looked surprised, "It looks like Arthur is going to talk to you about this soon."

"had happened. Once out of there he sent me a message. I'm not sure how to say it. Now he must be waiting for me at home."

Leon patted his cousin's shoulder encouragingly, "I'm sure you can deal with it, Arthur loves you anyway. He just wants you to be able to handle your past."

"But I always end up pitiful in front of him," Christ let out a long sigh and stretched his stiff muscles from then on, then stood up. "I'd better get home soon."

"You told Agatha?" leon asked behind her.

"I'm just saying there's overtime work, so make sure your answer is the same as yours if she asks."

"I have to lie?"

"Of course, for my sake please."

"Yes, what the hell wouldn't I do for my cousin?" Leon smiled broadly and embraced Christ who was taller than him. indeed Leon will always obey Christ's wishes so often Arthur will scold him for overindulging Christ. But only-child Leon already thinks of Christ as his own brother and Arthur as well.

"When you need me, I'm always there for you. Okay?" he said before they split up in the basement. "You should be able to deal with it this time Christ, just like you were finally able to get Agatha."

"Thanks, Leon."

His steps were heavy even though he walked towards his house. Even his footsteps rang out loud amidst the silence of his residence.

Over and over again exhaling deeply, Christ tried to neutralize his feelings. It's okay, she just needs to explain a little to her brother.

His feet stopped in front of that sturdy, cold-looking wooden door. The door, which was previously chained and given a double lock, was a reminder of the pain that honestly he could never forget. He's never been in it again in all these years and if now he has to...

Closing his eyes and once again taking a deep breath, he ventured to open the wooden door slowly.

And as soon as his feet entered the room, everything seemed to go back to the way it was.

The fear returned, his heart pounded uncontrollably as his bead looked at the familiar room that had become his room locked itself for two full years. The room that was still full of traces of him in the past because it was deliberately left like that and the scene made his breath choked. His hands had already begun to tremble holding back the fear that had suddenly attacked.

I'm it's okay.

I'll be fine.

It's all over...

He continued to chant the same sentence even though the more it repeated then his heart was pounding faster. And the black bead then arrived at the figure of Arthur who stood behind him facing the glass window that displays raindrops from out there.

And to Christ, the figure of the brother looks so terrible that Arthur turned and turned to him.

"Have arrived? I've been waiting for you ever since" she said coldly without any emotion, and it made Christ feel like he wanted to disappear right now.
