The house was as crowded as the morning before, with Ima's chant before going to school which was responded by Mina and Colt. Their cheerful faces became the hallmark of a happy family, making the modest house look like a palace.
"Agler, are you okay?" tanya Mina looked at the unusual face there.
"Ah yes" said Agler realized from his daydream.
Although unsure, Mina did not ask any more, she just smiled slightly and continued to eat breakfast.
"Um. there's actually something I want to say" Agler later said.
Ima stopped making a sound and sat more upright looking at Agler's serious face, as did Mina and Colt.
"While I know that my body is flowing with Hermes' blood, I have decided to remain a part of this family, it is because to me it is a real family" he said.
"Why are you suddenly saying this?" asked Mina who felt a bad feeling.
"I'm grateful for all the things you gave me, but somehow blood is thicker than water. I can't fool myself into not being interested in the Hermes family, since I was a child I don't even know what my two real parents looked like and this is a chance for me to get to know my family."

The fork released from Mina's hand clearly tells her that a mother's heart is hurting, Agler knows that because the bond that has been established makes him feel it too.
"If... mother says no, will you comply?" asked Mina with reddened eyes.
With Agler softly staring at Mina, it took her some time to open her mouth and talk.
"From childhood I never defied my mother's orders, this time I wanted to do things of my own accord. Don't I deserve that?"
"You're right" Mina said, realizing that anything she said would have no effect.
"I have a job, finish your breakfast" Mina said later.
Getting up from his seat without finishing his breakfast made Agler feel even more guilty for what he announced.
In the room where he sewed Mina tried to put the thread into the pinhole, but until the time Colt entered the room he was still not successful.
As a result of the puddle of water in his eyes the pinhole was seen there were two that made it difficult, added with trembling hands.
"Let me help" Colt said gently holding Mina's hand.
Mina said nothing, she just let Colt take the thread and the needle.
"Agler's an adult, he's even entitled to get out of this house whenever he wants" Colt said.
"The problem is not when he goes, but where he goes" Mina said.
"Hermes is his family, we have to respect his decision and even our duty as parents to support him"
"You don't know what the Hermes family is like, if it's not problematic it's impossible for Agler to be our son right now" Mina replied in a loud tone.
"There's no point in banning, Agler will get more curious and stay away from us. I know you're worried but don't be selfish, and Agler won't leave you forever" Colt persuaded with understanding.
Although it is difficult to give permission but Mina realizes Colt's words are right, she must resist her selfishness for Agler's happiness.

The decision he had taken was not due to anger or curiosity, but all the consequences he had calculated as part of the decision.
The next day he came to the castle belonging to the Hermes family, telling the guards that he had come to see the extended family.
Unfortunately Jessa's order that requires the report of every guest who entered made Agler stuck there, of course it was not a good welcome.
At first he did not mind too much, but a small friction occurred until a big commotion was inevitable.
Against two guards who had been trained in the Academy was certainly equivalent to fighting a witch, but Agler would have to expend his strength to break free.
While a servant ran into the house to report what was happening at the gate, the Hermes family who were initially enjoying their delicious breakfast immediately ran out to see for themselves.
"What's this?" jack shouted to stop the actual fight had stopped.
Agler stood victorious while the two guards fell downstairs with some minor injuries on their faces.
"You asked me to come, but this kind of welcome you gave to your own granddaughter" Agler said.
"Agler. ah, I'm sorry." said Jessa quickly who recognized her dress.
"There must have been a misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive them" he said.
"Well, this is common" said Agler still with an annoyed face.
Jessa could only smile stiffly hearing him, while the others stared at each other awkwardly.
"We'd better get in, we just happened to have breakfast so what if you join us?" jessa Tawal.
"Yes, let's go in! let us make amends for this with a small banquet" Jack continued.
Agler nodded slowly and followed their steps inside, in the dining room, the waiter swiftly gave the plate and poured the food.
"I'm sorry to have visited so early, actually I just heard about Kyra and intend to visit her. If I'm allowed to see him?" ask Agler.
"Of course, he must be happy for your arrival" Shigima said.
"Thank you" reply.
After breakfast, Agler escorts the waiter to Kyra's room, while the others begin to get busy with their respective duties.
Like Shigima who was preparing to go to the office, Amelia accompanied by her bag she went out where her car had been prepared.
"Do you think it's okay to let Agler see Kyra?" ask Amelia suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
"Somehow I feel there's something hidden behind Agler's sudden arrival"
"That's just your feeling, probably because Agler's similar to Chad. But their personalities are very different, Agler is very kind and attentive so there is nothing you need to worry about" Shigima said with a smile.
Amelia just nodded small without saying anything.
"Agler is also our nephew, he is a descendant of the official Hermes and is entitled to the castle and company as well as Hans" he added.
"Well, you're right" replied Amelia trying to erase the unpleasant feelings.

"Come in" cried Kyra from inside the room.

The open door showed Agler standing right outside his room, which surprised Kyra because he did not expect anyone else to visit him.
"Hi" said Agler.
"Hi. "reply Kyra.
He tried to straighten his seat to make it more upright while Agler walked in.
"How are you?"
"Oh yeah, as you can see" Kyra replied.
"Before coming here I spoke to Ima first, she asked me to hand this over to you and convey her apology for not being able to see you. He wishes you a speedy recovery" Agler handed Kyra a book.
When she found out that it was a fairy tale book Kyra smiled happily, because it flashed quickly in her mind how excited Ima was when she told the story.
"Thank you" Kyra said.
"I also want to apologize to you because as a cousin I've been acting like a stranger to you, I should have seen you immediately when I heard the news"
"It's okay, we live in a world that's not easy. I understand you and Ima have a reason, even if it comes too late but you came at the right time. I'm getting bored because Hans is too busy to have time for me, you know there are some things I can't possibly talk about with my parents" Kyra said.
Agler smiles in relief because his presence is well received, they start chatting and a smile starts to expand on Kyra's face which makes her look bright.
Without them realizing behind the door Violet sees all that, happy will Kyra's happy expression and decides not to bother them.
"You look happy" commented Jessa who accidentally caught the smile.
"Ah mother.yeah, I'm glad Agler wants to come visit, it makes Blue happy and laugh"
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it" he said.
"Agler was despite being Chad's twin brother but completely opposite of Chad, Agler had a cheerful and caring nature. He was raised by a good family so he has a good personality as well, I tried to persuade him to stay in this house but he refused because he could not leave his foster mother" jessa told me a story.
"What if we try again? maybe with Blue's excuse this time he wants to stay" said Violet suddenly.
"You're right, after all Blue does need a friend" Jessa replied.
He soon meets with Jack to discuss this, upon hearing Jack quickly agree and gives his full support to the plan.
In the living room they sit until Agler comes out of Kyra's room, staring at their old Agler with a compact smile.
"Sorry, we were busy chatting until we forgot the time" Agler said.
"No need to apologize, I'm just happy that Kyra has a interlocutor" Violet replied.
"Since the accident Kyra became very quiet, she didn't talk to us much and it worried us a lot. Now seeing him back open makes us relieved, for his recovery he must always be happy" continued Jessa.
"Usually Kyra will be cheerful before Hans, only she can make Kyra laugh. But lately Hans is busy so he doesn't have time to accompany Kyra, seeing Kyra open up to you I think your presence is another path to Kyra's recovery" Jack added.
"You're overreacting, Kyra just needs a conversation partner and I happen to be visiting" Agler said.
"Nothing happens to be, we are his family and know what Kyra is like. Seeing it made me understand that you needed it in this house" Jessa said.
"What?"
"For the sake of Kyra's recovery I hope you will stay here, at least until but Kyra is done"
"I mean. Do I live here?" ask Agler.
"Please think of Kyra, this is all just for Kyra. But if my request is too much for you then I'm sorry" Jessa said.
Agler was silent, staring one by one the man decided.
"Well, from now on I'll be part of the Hermes family"
"really?" ask Jack not to believe it.
Agler nodded confidently, making a wry smile on their faces.

The sound of the curtains that unfolded left Kyra's eyes open, although in the middle of a deep sleep but her ears were sharp enough to hear the sound.
He got up when he saw a black shadow entering through the window of his room, although in the dark but he knew that figure was the idol of his heart that he had been waiting for since.
"San. "call him slowly.
"I'm coming" replied Manager San.
Kyra reached out, reached for Manager San and smiled happily.
"Don't turn on the lights, if anyone sees my room it's clear they'll check it out" Kyra said.
"I understand" said Manager San.
It was no big deal because for him to meet Kyra that was enough, although it was troublesome to climb the fence every night and sneak around like a thief.
"What's wrong?" manager San asked, looking at Kyra's suddenly lethargic look.
"Until when are we gonna hide like this? I'm tired of covering up our relationship San" Kyra replied slowly.
"I understand, but your current state does not allow us to be frank. Your family is against our relationship and I'm afraid that if we come clean, bad things will happen to you, be patient a little while I'll find a way out" Managar San said.
During this time Kyra has been patient enough with her love, now she must be able to be patient a little more to unite with her love.
Forgetting that he started by changing the subject, starting to joke like a lover. Busy with the world they created themselves so that they do not realize there is someone who is lurking.
Somehow that night Violet could not sleep, suddenly her mind filled with images of Kyra so that she decided to look at her room.
Suspicion arises when Violet hears a conversation from inside Kyra's room, it is clear that the voice she heard was that of Kyra and a man.
Feeling that something was wrong Violet could not guess and decided to look.
Chequek.
