Arriving at the apartment baseman where Ahreum and Ansell live. Benedict went down first and rushed to the other door to open the door.
“I can walk by myself kak kak, better sister go aja.” Said Ahreum who was taking off his safety belt.
“no, brother will carry you up to the apartment.” Bennedict.
Ahreum could only sigh and then get out of the car.
The sound of the car door being locked, Benedict turned his body then lowered it as he had done before so that Ahreum could easily climb onto his back.
“ada you want sister to say?” ahreum muttered softly but clearly in the ears of Benedict.
“2 dying men in the room where you were held, that's what you did, right, Ahreum?!” guess Bennedict.
“do you take your struggles for years, Thania. You want to go back.”
“how can I just shut up, when Rihanna willingly takes my place.” Trim Ahreum who made Benedict was silent for a moment to wait for further explanation from his sister.
“when they asked who among us was the wife of Ansell aerospace, without thinking long Rihanna immediately shouted herself. He wanted to save me at the expense of himself, then.how could I just keep quiet watching him go, sis.”
“I tried to hold him back, and waited for anyone to come to help, but. What if it was too late, what if the terrible thing happened again?
I've lost Mama, should I lose Rihanna too?! I can't let someone replace me again hikkssss... hikkssss!..” Ahreum's story at length accompanied by a bitter cry that he can't stand back.
Hearing that Bennedict also felt sorry and guilty for coming very late, to make his sister back in difficult restitution.
Once in front of the elevator door, Benedict pressed 1 button and waited for the elevator door to open, while Ahreum still struggled with heartbreaking sobs.
“maaf.. forgive brother should sister come faster.” Bennedict muttered as he entered the elevator after the door opened.
“but even so I have no regrets at all, sis. And if the same situation repeats itself in the future, I. will still do the same, I will not let anyone hurt the people I love!” he was firmly in the middle of his sobs.
“Ahreum.”
“i don't care if I have to go to jail or end up in a mental hospital! As long as the people I love are okay, so will I. Hiksss.. hiksss!.” he said again with a sobbing that was getting louder made Benedict speechless.
Trininggg.the sound of the apartment door opened after Ahreum put his thumb in the fingerprint scan located under the button.
Benedict slowly went inside and headed straight for Ahreum's room.
Without saying, Bennedict lowered Ahreum on his bed, then twisted his body to stare for a moment at the face of his brother who still seemed to try to stop his crying.
He sat his sister in a gentle motion and squatted in front of her, holding tightly to Ahreum's arms.
“forgive sister, because it always comes late.” His speech was soft while removing the strands of Ahreum's hair that blocked his view.
“just make him unconscious, okay. Brother please don't go any further than that. Brother begs you, Thaniaa.” he added with his bitter voice and his two eyes that began to tear.
Ahreum nodded and hugged her brother along with a cry that broke again in silence at that time.

Flashback 7 years ago, at the city park. Seen Bennedict sitting with his lover Winter.
“Do you know why I left the art world and prefer to go to the police?” bennedict said as he set his gaze straight ahead with a cup of coffee in his grip that he occasionally shakes.
“what happened to you?” guess Winter while setting his sights on Bennedict who looks not okay, as if many things he wants to say but confused where to start.
“I have to protect my sister.” Said Bennedict who then set his eyes on Winter, until their two eyeballs met.
“and it seems that because of that too I cannot continue.”
“because your sister is different from the others?” cut Winter as if she knew what Benedict had been hiding from her all along.
Benedict rounded his eyes in surprise. “you already know?” said Bennedict who then put his coffee cup next to his foot.
“he’em, I saw for myself how terrible Thania was, as she pushed Jeno from the iron game and also as she floated her extremely sharp heels right into Jeno's face. At first I was scared too, but as time went on I understood. He only wanted to avenge the evil treatment of others towards him, Thania had never harmed an innocent person. And I think as far as I can tell, he's been trying to hold Ben.
But when he can no longer tolerate it, then he will act. This kind of thing, if you don't bother me then I won't hurt you either.” The story is long with a thin smile ending.
“you sure are fine, Thania has hurt your sister several times?” bennedict's response then gripped Winter's two arms above his thighs with 1 warm hand.
“Thania had held him off several times Ben, but it was Jeno who continued to fill him up until his school friends at that time came to mock Thania fat, and like a clown. I would do the same if I were in Thania's position. It was all because of Jeno herself. Thania had asked him to stop, but Jeno did not want to hear and he continued to follow mocking Thania until finally Thania was at its peak and did the terrible thing.
After I found out the truth I was even embarrassed to meet Thania, because my sister Thania had to get ridiculed and bullyan from her classmates. I'm sorry on behalf of my sister, Ben.” His face while tightening his hand grip plus his sweet smile that expands adorned his beautiful face.
“you sure are fine, and can accept my sister's condition?” ask Benn back to make sure.
“iya, I am very sure, please do not make it as an obstacle to our relationship Ben, I love you very much, and also Thania. While everyone is staying away from Thania, we have to stay by her side, because we concluded Winter who ended a serious conversation that night then they hugged each other after a while throw a smile at each other.
