"Other times heart - heart yes."
"Yes Bund. Mother, I want to ask?"
"Ask what, baby?"
"Does Mommy know about Axel?"
"Why did you arrive - ask about Axel, baby?"
"Askel has not been to school for two days" Tahlia told the publication.
"Ah yes, Mother forgot to tell you. Mother's time to go to the party to see Papa's friend's son whose accident was Axel, dear."
"What?" thalia was surprised to hear the words of her mother.
"Now how's Axel doing, Bund? All right, all right?"
"Mother knows less. Because Mommy and Papa haven't seen him yet."
"Mother thinks you know that, baby?"
"Oh that, I lost contact. So I don't know how he is right now, Bund."
"Dearly enough. You better see him later. Because the condition is quite severe when Mother and Papa visit him."
"Alright, then I want to be ready - ready first."
"Eh, where are you going?"
"I want to see Axel, Bund."
"How about tomorrow after school?"
"Can't Bund, I have to see Axel's condition now?"
Vina breathed a long breath. "Yes, later Mommy asks the driver to take you to the hospital."
"Yes Bund. Thanks to ya."

The Hospital.
"Thalia?" squeal Axel in the heart. Seen from his face, if Axel was very surprised when Axel saw the arrival of Thalia. He tried hard to keep it a secret about his condition. But Thalia knew it.
Thalia's steps were getting closer to him.. While Axel immediately covered his legs in a cast using a blanket. And yes, Axel deliberately hid it because he did not want Thalia to see it and ended up worrying about his condition.
"Where are you now?" thalia asked after putting a basket filled with fruit on the nightstand. From the look on her face, it was clear that Thalia looked very worried.
"I'm fine" Axel replied with a big smile towards Thalia.
"And maybe tomorrow I can go home. So you don't have to worry."
"You sure you're okay?"
Axel nodded steadily.
"Then why did you get treated for two days if you were sure you were okay?"
"Actually yesterday I was allowed to go home. But yes, my parents still insist that I'm treated here to be completely cured."
"What are you sick of, El?"
"Just a hull problem." Axel replied. Of course he lied. And Axel would never tell Thalia the truth.
Thalia squinted her eyes at Axel fixedly then she smiled realizing something on Axel's face.
"It turns out you're still the same, El. Not good at lying." quipped Thalia after seeing the marks of blows around the lips and also the jaw Axel.
"Tell me the truth. I'm good again. Because I heard from Mother at that time your condition was very severe." said Thalia.
"Are you okay?" ask Axel. It was very clear that the man was trying to divert the conversation.
Thalia knew, and Axel actually didn't want to try to answer her. "I'm fine and stop to divert our conversation, El."
"Did Keenan do something to you?" axel insisted. Especially when Axel saw the wound on Thalia's hand. And of course, Axel's question this time made Thalia speechless.And yes, Thalia could not tell the truth because it was the same as embarrassing herself in front of Axel.
"I'm sorry Thalia. Because that night, I couldn't help you." Axel regretted.
"Why are you talking like that, El? Which night do you mean? What was the night you were in an accident?" now it was Thalia's turn to ask the difficult thing to answer by Axel.
Axel quiet. He was confused as to what to answer.
"El, does this pain of yours have anything to do with Brother Keenan? Please, don't try to cover it up from me" Thalia added.
"Please, don't think about the no - no. This is just a misunderstanding." Axel replied and of course Thalia still did not believe it.
They inhabited each other long enough. And Thalia starts to get upset because Axel won't be honest with her. While Axel was hoping that Thalia would forget her problem and stop to show her concern.
"Excuse me" said someone who was none other than a doctor. The young doctor immediately went into Thalia's nursery to immediately check on Axel's current condition.
"Do you still feel pain?" the question was trying to make sure and seemed to make Axel flutter.
"It's okay now, doc?" his reply occasionally glanced towards Thalia.
The young doctor looked frowned at Axel in disbelief.
"Didn't you say a few minutes ago that that sis-"
"Okay, I'll talk about it later. I'm having guests." cut Axel down as soon as possible.
"alright. Excuse me first." he resigned himself to leave Axel's nursery.
Axel breathed with relief. He looked at Thalia fearfully - fearfully. Unexpectedly, the girl got up from her seat and without any more ba-bi-bu, Thalia immediately opened the blanket that covered Axel's two legs.
Astounded. Thalia was surprised. It turns out that what the mother said was true. He shone a disappointment at Axel.
"I can tell you about this, Thalia" Axel said after Thalia learned of her true condition.
"Why are you covering up your condition like, El? Is this really what Keenan did? I'm sorry, El. Because of me you're always hurt." said Thalia who began to cry seeing the condition of Axel's legs.
"I beg you not to cry like this, Thalia. I got hurt like this because of your brother. But this is not your fault. And look, now I'm fine too."
"But still Brother Keenan did that to you for sure because of me. For that I must see him immediately. Sorry, El. I gotta get going. Hope you get well soon" he said, then moved from his seat.
"Thalia what are you going to do by seeing your sister, I beg Thalia not to go there." Shouts Axel.
Shouts from Axel ignored him. And Thalia immediately left Axel without a word.
After coming from the hospital instead of coming home, Thalia instead went to Her Brother's Apartment. Where his stepbrother lives now. And yes, the purpose of Thalia came to the Apartment owned by her Brother because she wanted to ask for an explanation directly from her brother's mouth about his actions that had hurt Axel.
