He knew this would happen, even though it still felt annoying especially because he felt helpless like before. As hard as he tried, the gatekeepers would get louder and drive him out rudely, and he could not even reach Kyra by phone.
Feeling frustrated that this apparently affects his performance in the office, Manager San becomes often daydreaming and looks shabby without a smile.
When asked with a faint smile he would answer.
"I'm fine" then just walk away.
Chad doesn't really care, but Joyi is so sensitive that she realizes something is wrong with her.
He secretly sends his subordinates to find out what problems Manager San is facing, but a week goes by without any answer.
"His relationship with the family is no serious problem, just a small spark as usual. Neither in the office nor in his apartment environment is there a problem, his finances are also stable so it is impossible for him to stress because of it"
"That's weird, then what makes Manager San so desperate?" joyi muttered hard.
"Um. if I could argue it might be love"
"Love?" reset Joyi.
"Yes madam, there is nothing else that can make a man mess up other than love. Maybe not long ago he broke up with his girlfriend, initially it was normal but the longer the sense of loss will appear to be frustrating. It's a very natural male habit" he explained.
"But as far as I know Manager San doesn't have a lover" he said.
"Well, maybe he covered it up from you"
"Why should he cover that up from me? he was my own son and vice versa, he should have introduced his girlfriend to me"
"Maybe he didn't want to introduce the girl to you for some reason" she said.
"But why?" joyi asked again who was now answered with a headband.
Joyi turned her body, staring at the garden from behind the window glass even though her gaze was far away from the figure of Manager San.
Started to remember the attitude of the young man lately, uniting every new expression he saw until the habit that in the end all of it gathered into one. Forming an image where the face of a girl is very familiar, it was quite surprising because Manager San was so neatly save his love.

"I'm home." cried Agler as he opened the door.
"Welcome" said Mina, turning her face away with a smile.
Agler returned the smile but as he walked in, on a chair sat a woman who made her smile fade.
Tuk
The teacup rang as Joyi put it on the table, breaking the silence in the room that was only inhabited by the two of them.
"Now that I understand why you and Ima have such a cheerful nature, this house is the reason behind it. If compared to the house I have is really not a match, even though I filled every room with facilities that Chad and Alisya want" said Joyi while staring around the room.
Meanwhile Agler remained silent, watching closely.
"I wonder how the Hermes castle is this time, whether it is as cold as my cold house or this house full of warmth. For Kyra is like a clam, she is so hard on the outside but so soft on the inside"
"I've heard from him, he must be cured because Hermes can afford an expensive doctor" Agler said.
"Outside injuries are easy to treat, but not with internal injuries. If a broken heart can be polished again I'm sure Kyra won't be desperate to end her life, it happened once and I'm afraid it will happen again."
Agler fell silent, agreeing to the remark.
"Somehow do you think of me, but there's one thing I want to ask of you" said Joyi seriously with eyes fixed on Agler.
In the next minute Joyi explained her request in detail, Agler initially listened but then his emotions exploded all of a sudden.
"Don't joke! I won't do what you tell me to do!"
"I ask you, if you don't accept it then it doesn't matter" Joyi said calmly.
Agler threw away his face, so angry that he didn't want to look at Joyi.
"Then I'm sorry" said Joyi who was aware of his presence was not accepted.

"You haven't slept, honey?" violet asked as she entered the room.
Kyra just smiled slightly as she shook her head, letting Violet sit next to her.
"It's late, remember the doctor said you have a lot of rest" he said.
Without answering Kyra spilled over her body, though her eyes were not sleepy but she could do nothing but sleep.
"Good night dear" Violet whispered as she pulled the blanket up to Kyra's chest.
Trek
The lights were turned off before he stepped out of the room, closing the door so Kyra could rest in peace. But in that darkness Kyra's eyes opened again, staring at the only light coming from outside.
It was an astonishing moonlight, like magic slowly its soul was lured away just like that. Until moving, perch in one place and another continuously.
In the end the soul found what had kept his eyes awake, even though it was only a wish created by a longing.
"Where are you...?" a question that has no answer.
Of course because of the reason he was confined in that room, with a condition that could not even stand.
In the lyrics the clock is above the drawer, exactly ten o'clock at night. Usually at this time he was still chatting with Manager San, until the nurse or one of his family banished him subtly.
Then they will smile at each other, then Manager San will say goodbye with the promise of coming the next day.
Hhhhhhhhhhh
A sigh of disappointment like the previous nights, this time he should be able to close his eyes without the presence of Manager San until he will get used to it.
Srek
Suddenly the sound of the curtains gasping made him re-open his eyes to see what was there.
Gep
Mmmmm
With wide eyes he could only stare at the figure of a person in the middle of the darkness, his hands firmly silenced his mouth so that there was no sound he could make.
Ssssssssshhh
"It's me, I'll let go of my hand but promise not to yell" the figure said.
The voice was so familiar that Kyra nodded her head, then slowly the hand was released from her mouth.
And as she shifted, letting the moonlight in, Kyra could see the face she had longed for.
"San!" call him while immediately embracing.
It took them a few minutes to let go of each other, but the hands were still touching each other. But as Kyra's hand swept over Manager San's face, she felt wet on her cheeks and under her eyes.
"San? you crying?" tanyakanya.
"You are the reason for this eye soggy wetness" said Manager San could not cover it.
"Oh San." call Kyra back to embrace.
There was a tremor in his heart that came from that touch, a sick feeling that belonged to Manager San that was conveyed to him.
"Where have you been? why not visit me?" ask Kyra after a while.
"All the inhabitants of this castle don't allow me, otherwise I might sneak in the middle of the night blind"
"Why didn't you call me?"
"You can't get in touch since you got out of the hospital"
"Jeez.. my phone." muttered Kyra who just realized that her phone had not been with her.
They fell silent, realizing that everything had been arranged neatly so that they could not meet again.
"How's this? they don't let us " Kyra said slowly.
"What cares about them? I can still find a way to meet you, even if the whole world doesn't allow me to find a way to see you."
It was an oath that Manager San had thought through carefully, an oath that made Kyra smile happily because San had finally turned into a real man.
The man who will fight for his love no matter how, then now there is nothing he needs to worry about anymore.

The afternoon hum described the excitement of Alisya's heart as usual, not forgetting that she sprayed a little perfume as the finishing touch before leaving.
"Good" he muttered staring at the reflection in the mirror.
Picking up the bag immediately he took a step out of the room, continuing to walk about to leave.
"Where are you going, baby?" ask Joey from behind.
"Oh grandma, I have an appointment with Agler" he said, pausing for a moment.
"Can you break your promise?"
"What?" alisya asked even though she heard the statement clearly.
"B-but why?" the question is confused again.
"Grandmother wants you to stay home today" replied Joyi with a flat face.
"But I promised... "
"Grandma's sure Agler doesn't mind, you can go back into your room" said Joyi coldly.
It was the first time that Alisya had seen Joyi on the other side, a tyrant who had never been shown to her.
"Ba. iklah." said Alisya slowly.
Joyi's powerful aura was too pressing on her heart, plus the sharp gaze made Alisya submit instantly in her command.
Re-entry to Alisya's room immediately contact Agler to cancel their appointment, of course Agler was surprised especially because Alisya gave an unclear reason.
Feeling that something was wrong Agler immediately gased towards the Joyi residence, upon arrival there apparently Joyi was waiting.
Joyi's cold gaze welcomed Agler's arrival as if trying to break his guts, but it made Agler step forward.
"I want to meet Alisya" he said.
"I don't allow it" replied Joyi without further ado.
Their gazes clashed, as sharp as swords to exude a gripping cold aura. There were no signs of trepidation on either side not even a blink, as if it was a game of face-to-face.
"It seems I know the reason why Jessa doesn't like you" Agler said.
"There are only two things you need to know in this world, first my name is Joyi and I will not change my name for any reason. The second I'll get what I want anyway, you gotta remember that"
"If you're like this, Alisya will leave you"
"Alisya is not the first one to leave me, it will not change anything in me" Joyi replied unperturbed.
Seeing her made Agler realize where Chad's cold demeanor came from, apparently the house that stood before him was indeed cold like its owner.
"What are you trying to do?" ask Agler.
"We've discussed it, I think it's all very clear" said Joyi.
Agler was silent, apparently the second thing he needed to know besides the name Joyi was the truth.
Taking a step closer to Agler, Joyi's eyes were like knives that kept on sharpening so that the closer the sharper, with a flat face he said slowly.
"I have just created a solid wall, from the moment when if you want to meet Alisya then you have to prepare a great energy because the wall was deliberately created as a barrier for you."
Agler gulped at the warning, knowing it would not be easy but he had to do it for Alisya.
"Before making the wall did you think that what you were fighting was not me but nature? love is something you can't fight because it's intangible, in which case I hope you're ready to accept the consequences" Agler said.
"You don't have to worry, my feet never go before my head" he said.
Whuuuussss's
The wind carried those words flying to the Owner, as a sign that their vows had been stamped by nature so that it became history.
Knowing his war had begun Agler raised his face, showing how powerful he was as a man of love.
Steadily he turned his back, taking a step out of the Joyi residence inhabited only by winter.
Letting Joyi stare at his back who was ready to accommodate all the trials, with Alisya who had just come out and stared at his disappearance.
"Agler." call him.
Joyi turned her head, looking at Alisya.
"Why didn't grandma tell me that Agler came here?" tanyakanya.
"Listen to Alisya, grandma will only say this once after that it's up to you" said Joyi did not comment on the question.
Seeing Joyi's serious face made Alisya feel a bad feeling, especially Agler had just left without seeing her first.
"From now on you can't meet with Agler" said Joyi.
Stepping away without seeing the expression of Alisya who was shocked by the expression.
