In a different place, in a car driven by Elios Gavriel, having previously experienced such a stressful event, eventually Elios decided to deliver the girl who almost got hit by the car with a little coercion.
At first Ahreum insisted on going home alone even after the incident. Didn't make himself change his mind to ask Elios to wait for him to come home.
Earlier…
As Ahreum remained silent in his position with both eyes rounded, Elios' long arm quickly pulled Ahreum's body into his arms and made a twisting motion to move away from the dangerous area.
Ahreum's heart rate was increasingly pounding, when his face looked very close to the face of Elios who looked very worried about him.
Not until there, still with the breath of an irregular burly burly man who had realized just stared fixedly at the little girl in front of him was now suddenly just turning to hug him tightly.
“what's this? why do I feel like a person in love, no, this is not true.” Ahreum satin then tried to take off Elios' close embrace complete with an awkward look on his face, he now did not even dare to look directly into Elios' eyes.
“I'm fine ko, thank you for saving me.” Ahreum said while taking 1 step back to make the distance between the two.
“i will take you home.” Elios pulls Ahreum's arm to walk with him to his parked car in front of the restaurant.
“no need doctor Elios, I can go home alone, this time I will be more careful, again thanks ya.” Ahreum said, pulling his arm from the hand of Elios.
“why are you so stubborn!! I'll take you home Ahreum, if I don't want to get in my car, fine! I'll come with you on the bus.” His coolness with his high tone of voice was also his sharp eye gaze which made Ahreum again feel uncomfortable.
“ahh.. why..” response Ahreum stammering.
“you want to ride my car or I will come with you on the bus?” cut off Elios who almost lost his temper due to Ahreum's stubbornness which left him with no other choice but to be firm with the girl.
“oke alright, we take the car only.”
As soon as Ahreum finished his sentence, Elios turned back and pulled back Ahreum's tiny arm, this time his grasp tighter than the one before him, until Ahreum could only resign and did not intend to re-inspire.

“forgive me..” Elios said as he glanced for a moment at the girl who had just stared back at the car window, as if she was uncomfortable with Elios' treatment of forcing her to come with him, until the girl prefers to avoid the face of Elios earlier.
“I didn't mean to force you, I just. got carried away.” The next one who returned his eyes to the streets in front of him.
Hearing Elios' confession made Ahreum slowly turn his face and try to stare at the side of Elios' face, as if he was waiting for the continuation of the sentence the man said.
“actually I don't want to discuss this, because I think it's too early for me to tell you.” His impression again smiled faintly at Ahreum who was still looking at him.
“some sort of past?” guess Ahreum.
“amm, actually I am married.” he said which made Ahreum suddenly round his eyes to hear the confession.
“but my wife died 6 years ago, it was the 1st anniversary of our wedding so we both decided to have dinner together amid the busyness we live, I was waiting for her across the street, only a few steps left he reached me, but fate willed another, suddenly there was a car that drove very fast then hit him until he was thrown far away and. exhaled his last breath in place.”.
“that's what made me unable to control my emotions earlier, because I was afraid that the terrible things I had experienced in the past would reoccur, without me being able to do anything to change them.
I.. really very scared, Ahreum.” His words bitterly also were a round of tears slowly dripping down Elios' cheeks.
Suddenly he felt a little disappointed in his heart when he heard that the man next to him was now married, but his other self brushed him off loudly, trying to resuscitate her who was currently almost over the line.
How could he have feelings for the man while only 1 day left the deadline for his marriage with the man who had been betrothed to both parents.
No, I can't, I can't do this, I have to stay away from it otherwise, maybe my feelings will waver Ahreum's inner’ while bowing her head for a moment then re-pointing her gaze behind the window.
Instead of responding to Elios' story, Ahreum decided to fall back silent and avoid his gaze as before. Makes Elios seem misunderstood by the attitude given by the girl.
Because Elios thought that Ahreum was still upset by his previous abusive treatment. Though the truth was not like that, Ahreum fell silent because he began to feel something was wrong with his feelings until he decided to stay silent and avoid the gaze of Elios that had made him fall in love.

Arriving at the family residence Seno baghaskara.
Hearing the sound of a car engine roaring from his yard, Seno the father immediately rushed to pull a step from a room not too far from the main door.
As soon as he opened the door he saw a man walking to the other side of the car to open the car door, like a man in general who wanted to give special treatment to his woman.
Seno slowly walked towards the two with a probing gaze, because the first time he saw the stranger.
“dad..” Ahreum said as he watched his father walk up to him.
Hearing the father's words, Elios immediately turned his body and greeted Seno complete with a friendly smile.
“night om, sorry it seems too late I delivered Ahreum.” Elios said, bowing his body a little.
“ah yes it is okay, even Ahreum can go home later than this usually, hehe.” Reply Seno who also smiled broadly at Elios.
“my Elios, om.” Elios continued, extending his hand to Seno with a slight bending back, then with pleasure Seno also said his hand post complete with a warm smile, he said, which he never even once pledged to his future son-in-law.
“Seno, father of this beautiful girl, hehe.” Seno said as she glanced at her girl who was walking next to her.
“hahaaa, yes absolutely right, as the name suggests Ahreum.” Sahut Elios who also took a glance towards Ahreum who looked a little awkward was praised like that.
“you want to stop by?” seno asked after ending his handshake with Elios.
“amm, it does not seem to om, it is too late, it would be better if Ahreum immediately rested, I will stop by another time.” reject Elios with a friendly tone as usual.
“ alright then.” Sahut Seno embraces his daughter's shoulder and smiles at Elios who is about to go home.
“i say yes, om, and Ahreum thank you for the time yes.” Elios then walked to the steering chair.
Elios smiled again as soon as he started his car engine, as a sign of his farewell tonight, then turned the steering wheel in the other direction to begin his journey out of the courtyard of the Baghaskara family residence.
