Ana touched Mr. Danu's hand trembling. He held back his tears from breaking as he had when his father first lay there. He tried to be stronger this time. But considering that his father who had realized and had not yet met him until now even his father was unconscious again, making Ana's heart so sore. It felt like he was eager to see his father wake up and talk to him a lot. But the reality is far from what he imagined. The bitter truth that he must swallow.
Ever since he set foot in the hospital earlier, his feelings were really bad. Such bad premonitions came haunting his mind at this moment. He could not convey this to Ken, because he thought maybe this was just because he was too carried away.
"Check the cctv of this entire building as well as the streets that have the possibility for him to escape from here" Ken ordered at Han in an undeniable tone.
"Well, sir!", Han turned around and left the place.
"Dad! Wake up! Ana wants to meet dad. Ana longs very well, misses father!", Ana's mind is so bitter.
"Han!", call Ana weak.
Han turned his body to face towards the person who called out to him.
"How is Risa?", she asked with a trembling voice holding back her cries.
Before answering Ana's question, Han let out a long sigh. Trying to neutralize his feelings when confronted by a question that scratches the pain in his chest.
"There hasn't been any development, Miss!", replied Han trying to calm down.
"Sorry Han", this time the sobs broke. Ken holds Ana, giving Ana peace of mind by hugging her from the side.
"You don't have to apologize, miss. It's not all your fault. Enough to not be sad anymore then everything will be fine", Han did not want to hear the apology of people who should not. After Mr. Danu, now even his daughter who said that. An apology should come from the person responsible for everything that happened.
"I'm sorry, Master, Miss!", Han turned his body again and passed behind the door.
"You hear! Even Han told you not to be sad anymore. You have to be upbeat, Ana. Gather your strength to avenge those who have made you this way", Ken ignites a fire of passion on Ana who returns due to the current condition of her closest people.
Ana nodded in Ken's arms. She wiped her tears and wet her cheeks. This time Ana agreed, she indeed had to gather her spirit to avenge what had befallen her.
With his standing position, Ken gently rubbed Ana's head and gave a few kisses at the top of his head. He channeled positive energy for the woman he loved. Then his eyes looked forward, a mixture of emotions of sadness and anger united into a blaze of ambition in his sharp eyes.

"tok, tock, tock!", the sound of knocking on the door rang out to the corners of the mansion.
The occupant of the room approached and opened the door for his papa and let his papa in. His eyes are certainly the center of attention.
"Hay, baby! What's wrong with your eyes? Have you been crying? Why are your eyes like a panda like this?!", Mr. Bram asked Krystal a question.
"Nothing, papa!", he glanced in any direction so as not to see his papa.
"I just saw a movie, papa. The story was very sad, so I cried all the time while watching. And again I'm also practicing, yes practicing for the drama that I will star in later", Krystal tried to find the right reason while hiding her lying face by pretending to clean up her messy bed.
"Really?!", Mr. Bram made sure again.
"Of course it's true, papa", Krystal slightly looked back towards the direction Old Bram was.
"Papa has important news, for you dear!", Mr. Bram sits on the edge of his daughter's bed.
"What news, pa?", this time Krystal sat beside her father out of curiosity.
"Yesterday, one of the shareholders in the company came. The shares are as big as papa's. Looks like he's a very rich man, more than your Chairman Ken might be. Because that person said that he was from country P and his company was one of the biggest there. And again he has a very handsome face, dear", with the joy of Mr. Bram telling his story.
"Then?", Krystal still wanted to hear his continuation with a flat expression.
" At the meeting, Ana suddenly comes and says that your uncle has given all his shares to him. Papa thinks that Master and Ana don't know each other yet, so papa plans to introduce you. So maybe papa will be able to get him on papa's side. But it turns out.", Mr. Bram breathed his coarse breath.
"What's the truth, pa?", Krystal grew curious about her papa's story.
"It turns out that papa caught the Master together with Ana! Heh, you cheap lady!", Mr. Bram clucked in annoyance.
"What?! So true what did Louis say?!", Krystal cried out inwardly.
Krystal was still silent trying to digest what Louis had said as well as what her papa had just told her. A very real coincidence was before him. His passion, which was always passionate every time he wanted to defeat Ana, now seemed to die. There was no feeling in his heart now. The strange feeling he felt was only about the last words Louis had said to him.
Yes the sentence was ringing in his ears and caused a strange feeling that made him want to continue crying.
"Krystal!", Mr. Bram broke his reverie.
"Ehh, yes pa!", he stuttered at last.
"Are you listening to what papa is talking about?", Mr. Bram spoke while frowning in wonder at his daughter's uncharacteristic face.
"Of course papa, I heard everything. Then what are you going to do now?", he said, trying to shift the conversation so that his father would no longer pay attention to him.
"Papa really needs your help, baby", Mr. Bram put on his sweetest face.
"Whatever papa is, if I can help I will do it!", Krystal returned her papa's smile. Yes, he did have to avenge his father who always obeyed whatever he wanted long ago.
"Look! This beautiful papa princess, can you take that Mr. Bastian from Ana. And so that he can side with us. So papa has no barrier anymore to control the company" said Mr. Bram.
The greed that made him want to rule the company was already hard to stop. Even Krystal seemed hesitant to refuse his papa's request. But from the bottom of his heart, Krystal seemed reluctant to do that. Take what Ana has. There's no more of that turmoil there.
"How dear? Do you agree to it?", asked Mr. Bram expectantly.
"Well, pa, Krystal will try", right now that's all he can promise his papa. Refusing was a difficult thing for him to do. Regarding the future how will he think again.

Glory Corporation, this morning Krystal has set foot there. Today it was scheduled that he had to do the photoshoot process for the drama that he would star in later with Louis. Her heart was pounding as she looked forward to the arrival of Louis, her partner today.
Krystal circulated her gaze looking around for the man who would usually come earlier than her. The man always welcomed her if they were in a job that involved them together. Louis would always harass and tease Krystal until she was really upset.
But today is different, today is silent. Something was missing in his heart until it felt pain in the bottom of his heart. No one welcomed him, no one bothered him. It felt peaceful, but his heart felt disturbed because of an overly peaceful atmosphere like this.
"Hey, Lou! Tumben once you've just arrived!", a crew greets the handsome man who just arrived.
Krystal's reflex turned to the origin of the sound. He saw Louis walking in his tracks without looking at him. Louis walked straight towards his dressing room. He did not care about Krystal's presence at the time.
Krystal continued to stare at Louis' back who was walking away. His eyes turned red instantly, and his tears fell out indistinctly.
"What is Krystal?", asked Manager Felix who was accompanying her to read the script. Manager Felix glimpsed Krystal wiping her eyes.
"It's okay! My eyes itch, maybe I should change these lashes", Krystal cuddled up and quickly went towards her dressing room.
"brugh!", Krystal bumped into someone as she continued walking while looking down. He tried to hide his tears from everyone.
That person caught his body by clutching it tightly. Krystal accidentally tears about the clothes the man was wearing. And the man noticed, his clothes were wet on his chest.
Krystal still lowered her head, not daring to look at the person she hit.
"Sorry, excuse me!", said Krystal hurriedly. He immediately walked quickly to a toilet not far from there.
Louis who had just changed clothes was staring at his wet chest as a result of being hit by Krystal.
"What's wrong with her? Is she crying? She wasn't a crying woman, so why was she?!", Louis furrowed his brows deeply while looking at Krystal who had gone away.
Louis knew Krystal well, for years he had followed her. He knows how Krystal is. She will not cry easily, even though she seems to be spoiled and selfish. He hardly ever showed his tears, unless he was really feeling so sad.
Yeah, so sad. Louis began to appear worried about the current state of Krystal. For a moment he nailed himself there, motionless from his silence. He hesitated to find out. Louis still remembered what promise he made to Krystal last time. He'll stop chasing Krystal, he'll stop bothering her. But seeing that Krystal was behaving like never before, he decided to catch up with her.
"Hey, Lou! Where are you going?", asked a crew member who saw Louis walking toward the ladies' room.
Louis approached the crew while taking his wallet out of his pants pocket. He took some money and gave it to the crew. He leaned his face to speak in a soft voice to the crew.
"Jaga is here! Don't let anyone in. And close your ears and eyes. Suppose you see nothing later", Louis ordered in a cold tone and a sharp eye.
"Well, that's easy!", the crew smiled happily staring at some of the money sheets he now held.
