He clearly remembered the gaze, something felt deep from the two. Probably the same as the way he looked all along, maybe even more.
That's why he decided to take a step, without caring about the bad risks that might occur. He could only hope that everything was fine, by holding full confidence in his tattoo of the plate on the table.
"Is something happening today?" ask Colt.
"I invited a friend to dinner" replied Ima.
"Why didn't you say that earlier? I can make something better" Mina said.
"Let's remember, ma'am, everything is perfect" replied Ima.
With full persuasion this time Agler wants to go out to dinner together, of course because Ima whines there will be guests that he must welcome as the host.
Unfortunately thirty minutes passed and the guest had not yet come, almost dashed hope Ima especially Colt who said maybe he would not come.
Tong Ting
"Finally.." cried Ima who rushed towards the door.
"Actually who was he waiting for?" murmuring Colt.
"Don't Chad" said Mina, which made Agler feel less at home.
"Good night, sorry for keeping you waiting. My car suddenly broke down on the road" said the guest with a reddish face and gasping breath.
"Oh, no problem" replied Mina who was quite surprised by the presence of a girl whom she had not seen for a long time.
"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry"
"Stop apologizing, you ran that far your legs must hurt especially in cold weather like this" said Ima.
"What's? you running? then why stand up let's sit down! baby quickly pour water for him" said Colt shocked.
"Ah yes, come here" said Mina who immediately approached.
Agler was only able to stare at the figure of the girl walking past him and sitting right beside him, from her crimson nose it was obvious her lungs were trying to breathe well in the middle of the snowflake.
Behind the table his feet slightly trembled the tired marks of a long enough journey, even so he was still able to smile sincerely.
Without a long time Ima started the dinner, do not want his guests cold and hungry.
"Other times if you're having trouble on our phone call" Colt said on the sidelines of dinner.
"Thank you, I don't want to bother you"
"What repot? all the time Mr. Agler is unemployed, so you don't have to worry" Ima said.
The entire room was suddenly silent which made the atmosphere feel awkward.
"That's right, Alisya. You can call me" Agler said slowly.
It might sound like a permit, but Ima felt it was a request. He could look back at the gazes in the two people that felt so deep, finally though a little he could feel a lively light.
"Let me do the laundry" Alisya said after the dinner.
"Please don't make Ima spoiled, all day he just plays without doing a little homework" said Mina.
"Mother.." Ima whine.
"Hehehe I have kept you waiting, let me make it up to you" Alisya asked.
Seeing the earnestness in Alisya's eyes, Mina finally allowed it, as if it was her kitchen without hesitation she did the task.
"Alisya.." call Agler slowly.
He turned his head, looking at the eyes that looked soft and sad.
"This is the last plate" he said.
"Ah yes, thank you" replied Alisya while taking the plate.
There was a moment of silence between them until Alisya began without turning his face away from the dirty dishes.
"How are you?"
"I-I'm fine, how about you?"
"Try to make a new sheet"
"That's it" said Agler, who understood very well what the words meant.
"I met Ima in the shopping mall, she gave me a Christmas present and asked me to come in exchange for her gift. So. there is no way I did not come after being invited" explained Alisya.
Of course Agler was shocked to hear that, he did not expect Ima to be able to do something impossible like this. Surprisingly it made him happy, with a thin smile he walked up to Alisya and started to help her.
* * *
Although the air was quite cold but Alisya walked without feeling any difficulty, without feeling his feet walking towards the dock and that's where his heart used to feel happy with life that felt perfect his legs stopped.
The place on the stone was still clearly visible his name was written in the circle of love that Agler made, the time was too beautiful to forget so his heart refused to hate.
He thought it was easy to open a new page, but the fact that when he met with Agler again he felt relieved. That is what makes him take a new decision, he will make peace even though the same relationship will not be established again.
"You've been waiting a long time?" ask Agler.
"Not really" he answered.
Not wanting to ramble Alisya immediately spoke after Agler sat down.
"I just realized that I've made a mistake, you know how I feel about you it's been going on since we were in high school. Getting you in the end turned out to make my selfishness even greater, probably because I didn't want to be left behind like that."
It was a parting that was too painful for him to face him.
"No, it's my fault. I'm not giving you an explanation" Agler said.
"Maybe we're both wrong, that's why this relationship ended in a rush. After that dinner I realized that no matter how far I ran to avoid you it was useless, because the truth is that my heart is still attached to you"
"Alisya." call Agler slowly.
Not only Alisya but Agler was the same, he was too cowardly of the future they would live in if the relationship remained. The look of fear in Alisya's eyes that night was too much of a nightmare for him that he still silenced his mouth.
"Agler, from today on what if we are good friends? I was too tired to run and could not hate you completely" Alisya said.
The speech felt like a razor that cut his heart, how sinful he was that had made a girl crumble like that.
"Let me treat you this time" Agler said.
Finally he was able to chat casually without feeling worried, the warm feeling he had been waiting for all the time now made him truly happy. Although there is still guilt but in the future he will try to be more open to Alisya, just waiting for the right time.
Back home Agler back to his usual activities, his mind is still troubled with Chad because he does not know between him and Jessa who he should trust.
Given Chad's words back then his eyes had been open enough not to swallow people's words just like that even though he was part of the family, for now he each wanted to be Agler Megan.
"Your date worked?" asked Ima who was so meticulous looking at the smile on her brother's face.
"Don't ngaco! no one is dating" Agler said.
"You were seen together at that time, suddenly you became a sage and now it's like there's spring on your head. Ah...this makes me sure there is no smooth love story" lamented Ima.
"What are you muttering? did Chad treat you badly?"
"She's suddenly so romantic, but it gives me goosebumps"
"Why is that?"
"See, maybe because I like Chad the cruel prince. But I'm grateful that he's romantic in his own way, very distinctive and shows his sweet side" she said, recalling the attention Chad gave her.
"Then what about you? if not dating what are you doing?" ask Ima curious.
"We used to have a good relationship, even I had time to think about the future with him but.." The speech stopped when the nightmare returned in his mind.
"What's going on?"
"Alisya saw me preying on some humans" he said.
"What?" yell Ima shocked.
"His face clearly showed horror, even the fear I could feel. From then on I felt I should stay away from her, I wasn't sure I could have a relationship with her."
Ima was silent, for those who are like ghosts living a normal life like ordinary humans is very difficult especially about feelings. In this life Ima is grateful to meet fellow vampires so that no difference that stretches their relationship.
"That means... Alisa...."
"No, I don't think so!" said Agler who knew what Ima meant.
"I think Alisya was too shocked at the incident because after the incident we did not meet for a few days and when I met Alisya really did not remember anything, I had confirmed it"
"Wow, you're so lucky then" said Ima surprised.
"Yeah, even so I'm not confident. For now we just decided to be good friends" he said.

The return of Keenan which brought anger made the entire palace wary, especially when the order came out to attack the Knights.
This became a big question mark for all including Tianna, trying to speak carefully he asked what had actually happened.
"He is unwilling to fulfill my wish, he is lowering my strength" Keenan said as he clenched his hand violently.
It turns out that after knowing the cause it still does not help, Keenan's ambition that crossed the line is a complicated irony.
If it's about Anna he can't turn his brain, better be quiet so that his position remains safe.
"Then what's your plan?" tianna asked who was just curious.
"I will finish off the witches one by one, see if he will remain silent after seeing the people destroyed" he replied.
Those eyes were clearly lit up so brightly like embers, with a faint smile that made Keenan's face more sinister than usual Tianna shuddered and chose to leave.
He tells what happened to Shishio, of course this is a great danger that Shishio must quickly deal with. Although he was not part of the Academy anymore but his heart could not ignore him yet, he secretly wrote a secret message to the Madam.
Got the news of the madam immediately took a step, in a short time for a while so as not to arouse suspicion he ordered the black troops to plunge.
This is a special force tasked with sacrificing lives for the sake of the more dominant, evil-sounding ones indeed. But this army is built on the basis of those who have no advantages but still want to contribute to the survival of the Academy, most of them are mixed-blooded humans who do not have magic power.
