* MAIN MANSION.
"Sorry, young master Daniel is coming." Whisper Assistant Mr. Fridell. It was as if fearing that Kang Daniel's presence in the main Mansion was known to the Mansion's residents who knew nothing about the status of a Kang Daniel, and what was the relationship with their great Master.
"Take him into my study."
"Okay Sir" Reply Assistant Mr. Fridell who again stepped out of Mr. Fridell who was still sitting in a room with a glass of Champagne in his hand while staring out the window.
Until 15 minutes passed, Mr. Fridell stepped out into his study, where he saw the figure of Kang Daniel sitting waiting for him.
"Dad,"
Welcome Kang Daniel who immediately stood up when he saw Mr. Fridell entering the room, a room large enough and safe to talk.
"Is there anything you want to say to Dad?" Ask Mr. Fridell tampa stale and immediately secured himself on a single sofa.
"I'm sorry Dad."
"I'm sorry? Do you realize you've made a mistake?"
"I'm sorry, because I didn't tell Dad that I'd been working for two years in the Cullens."
"Do you have a reason for the decision you've made?"
"I.. "
"Daddy hope you have Daniel's right advice, so I can accept your reasons." Said Mr. Fridell who kept staring at Kang Daniel who looked increasingly nervous.
"I just want to keep my promise to Mr. Chris to look after his family."
"Are you sure? Is that why you're the only one?"
"I.. "
"Is it because of Mr. Chris' daughter?" Asked Mr. Fridell who suddenly made Kang Daniel surprised.
"Answer Daniel."
"Dad.. I just."
"Do you really like that woman?" Ask Mr. Fridell once again.
"I'm sorry Dad," replied Kang Daniel bowed, instead answering the very question Dad was still waiting for his answer.
"So right."
"Sorry,"
"Instead of apologizing, you better forget your love for that woman."
"Why should I do it, Dad? Is it because of Lucas?"
"Daniel's.. You are a person that should not be known by the public. Whatever the reason, and with you in touch with the Cullens again, everyone will know who you are, sooner or later. And I don't want that to happen. Do you understand?"
"Is it just because of that?" Kang Daniel asked with his gloomy face.
"yeah. You know that already?"
"What if I'd rather not be Dad's son? Can I still love that woman?"
"DANIEL'S... " Shouted Mr. Fridell who immediately moved from his seat.
"Are you going against Dad now? Like your brother Lucas?" Ask Mr. Fridell who made Daniel's kang bow in silence.
"I'm sorry Dad,"
"Leave the Cullens."
"But Dad.."
"It's Dad's decision. Leave the Cullens. And go to America. Don't you understand that too? Don't make me repeat Dad's words again."
"Dad.. "
"Do you want it to happen again?"
"But I'm an adult Dad, even I can already take care of myself." Answer Kang Daniel.
"Well, you know, you're a bodyguard now, I also know you can take care of yourself, but have you forgotten one thing, if all this was your mother's wish?"
"Yes, I understand." Kang Daniel replied, as Mr. Fridell discovered Kang Daniel's greatest weakness, which would be submissive if it was his mother.
"I'm sorry Dad. Hiding your identity from everyone is not what you want. The only person who wants you to stay the way you are now is your mother. And this is your mother's last wish. Because in this way he can protect you. You know, Dad's job could put you all in danger. And that's why, until now, I didn't want you to be publicly known as Alfredo's son. Do you understand?"
"Yes Dad.."
"alright.. I've taken care of everything, tonight Assistant Dad will take you to the airport."
"Tonight?" Kang Daniel asked in surprise.
"Right, what's up? Isn't faster better?"
"But Dad.. I haven't.. "
"Pamitan? I don't think you need to do it."
"But Dad.. Emery is the woman I love, and I couldn't possibly hurt her by just leaving Dad.. "
"Daniel's.. Does Emery love you too?" Asked Mr. Fridell who returned to make Kang Daniel silenced with a feeling of anxiety.
"Dad thinks Dad knows the answer. And I think you have no reason to stay."
"Father's right.. "
There was no reason for me to stay, but I really couldn't leave him.
"Prepare.. "
"Yes Dad.." Reply Kang Daniel who immediately stepped up from his seat and stepped out of Mr. Fridell's office.
With high speed Kang Daniel drove his car, the feeling of uneasiness gained control of his mind as he remembered soon He would leave the woman who had been the occupant of his heart for many years.
Why is it so hard to leave you Emery, even though I know, I was never in your heart, but why does my heart always refuse to leave.
Kang Daniel restlessly stepped on the gas pedal of his car which was accelerating at high speed. Until it only takes 30 minutes, the car is parked right in front of the door of Emery's house.
With a slow step kang Daniel entered the room, which there was already the figure of Emery who was sitting welcoming him with a sweet smile as usual. The smile that always made Kang Daniel flutter and happy. A smile that he may never see again.
"You take too long, sit down.." Pinta Emery who suddenly acted spoiled and instantly shifted her body, giving Kang Daniel the space to sit beside her.
For a moment Kang Daniel was silent with the position still standing not far from Emery sitting now, instead to sit next to Emery as he wished.
"Daniel's.. What was? You sick?" Emery asked slowly as he looked at the unusual attitude and Kang Daniel's face that looked flushed with glazed eyes.
I'm sorry Emery, if it turns out I can't keep my promise to always be by your side and take care of you. Excuse me..
"Daniel's.. Closer, i... " Emery's sentence stopped when her body was now in Kang Daniel's arms, even the tight grip made her a little claustrophobic.
"Daniel's.. What is wrong with you?" Emery asked again as he felt Kang Daniel's body tremble, even he could feel, if at this time his personal bodyguard was crying, and for the first time since knowing Kang Daniel, he said, Emery looked at the tears coming out of the corner of Kang Daniel's eyes.
"Daniel's.. Are you crying?" Emery asked increasingly worried but he tried to be calm and slowly rubbed Kang Daniel's back gently.
"Let me hold you for a second, please."
"Daniel's.."
"Just for a second, while I still have time, I want to hug you." Kang Daniel muttered with his slightly trembling voice.
"Whatchu mean? What time?" Daniel.. " Tanya Emery who looked up straight away, looked at Kang Daniel's face that already looked wet.
"Daniel's.. What's actually going on? Please, speak up.. "
"Can I go now?"
"meaning? going away? you're going?" Emery asked who was immediately nodded by Kang Daniel.
"I'll...."
"No." Emery exclaimed, even before Kang Daniel finished his sentence.
"You can't go anywhere,"
"I'm sorry Emery, if I can't keep my promise to keep looking after you."
"No.. Don'tgo.. Daniel.. Are you pranking me now? Stop it, it's not funny. Stop playing with me." Reply Emery with his smile, even he continues to shake Kang Daniel's body.
"Sorry,"
"Daniel's.. Are you serious?"
"I'm sorry."
"You're going? Any more?"
"Emery.. "
"Why? Am I troubling you too much?" Emery asked who looked up again, looking at Kang Daniel's face that looked gloomy.
"It's not like that" Kang Daniel replied as he rubbed Emery's cheeks gently.
"Then what?"
"I have little business in America, and... "
"How long?"
"Maybe a few years, or maybe I won't be back." Kang Daniel replied that made Emery stunned, his eyes immediately glazed over, even retracting his steps slowly away from Kang Daniel.
"Emery.. I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing, and leave.." Emery looked up at Kang Daniel. Even his tears began to pierce, he himself did not understand why this angry just because he heard Kang Daniel was leaving.
"I'm sorry Emery, I hope you can take care of yourself, eat regularly, don't cry alone often, don't always think if you'll never be happy, because someday you'll be happy, and don't ever think that no one loves you, because one day, someone will come sincerely to ask you to get married, like you want, so I hope, live your life happily Emery.."
But why don't I feel happy now Daniel, I want you to always be by your side, I beg you.. Don't leave me, not again..
"alright.. I will try to be as happy as you wish, go.. Go now, don't mind me.."
"Emery.. "
"Go away.. "
"Sorry.. "
"GO ON.. " Emery said that he immediately turned his back to Kang Daniel, even his tears just pierced, when Kang Daniel sounded back, his steps and began to leave Emery who was still fixated with his pain. His heart was agitated, not knowing what to do now.
"Don't go... Don't go Daniel.." Emery muttered slowly as he continued to wipe his tears, even quickly he ran to grab Kang Daniel's hand and gripped him very tightly.
"Don't go.. Need you.. I don't know what I'd be like if you left.. I can't.. I can't look like you, Daniel.. L'm.. Hicksnake..."
"Emery.. L'm.. "
"I love you, I love you Kang Daniel.. Don't leave me... " Emery said with a cry, even his body seemed to tremble as he continued to grip Kang Daniel's arm which was still fixated with Emery's statement just now, until a minute later, he said, Kang Daniel immediately grabbed Emery's body to hug him, a warm and tight hug that made Emery sobbing.
"I'm sorry.. Excuse me.. I will not leave you." Kang Daniel's whisper who was getting tighter hugged Emery's body.

* MAIN MANSION.
"How is he doing?"
"Your son is fine, you don't have to worry." Doctor Hanenda replied after examining Lucas' condition and replacing Lucas's impus fluid.
"What happened to Lucas? What have you done with your son Fridell?"
"I only gave him one warning not to challenge me."
"I think it's quite Fridell. He's your son, and you shouldn't have done something like that. I don't know what he's done to make you this angry, but.. Whatever Lucas did, I'm sure.. If he never does anything wrong."
"You know what Han is?"
"Well, I know Fridell well enough, and in the hospital yesterday, do you know what Lucas was worried about that night? Even I came back to see the same expression he had when he lost his mother,"
"But, that girl is not the right girl for Lucas,"
"Only your son can decide what kind of girl he deserves, and I think the girl lying in the hospital is the girl your son loves so much."
"No, the girl will never be able to enter the family of Elfredo, because the mistake that Tiar Galenka had made was truly unforgivable,"
"What do you mean?" Doctor Hanenda asked frowned confusedly.
"Do you know who killed Yuwa Favian 26 years ago? It was done by Tiar Galenka, the girl's father."
"What's? So then? You mean, the one who killed Keano's mother.. "
"really.. It is a mistake that cannot be forgiven, right? And now.. After the bastard disappeared, now his son who came to disturb the peace of Lucas, and trying to get into the family Elfredo. I won't let it."
"But Fridell, I'm sure, the girl doesn't know anything about her father's past. And you shouldn't spill all your anger and resentment on that girl."
"Why? Do you think taking responsibility for Yuwa's pregnancy was easy? Until I forget everything? Even I had to lose someone very meaningful in my life when I had to make Yuwa my concubine,"
"I knew.. But that girl, she.. "
"Nobody can escape my clutches Han, you know that. And I'm sure you'll never forget that your brother is a Mafia man, not a priest who always apologizes to someone who's guilty."
"alright.. But I ask you one thing, please consider your son's feelings, just Daniel who feels wasted by his own biological father, and Keano.. You shouldn't treat him like he's the one who should accept his mother's bad luck, he's your son Fridell." Said Doctor Hanenda.
"I never wasted them Just, I just hid their identities to protect them."
"But they don't feel that way Fridell," Reply Doctor Hanenda who immediately stepped away Mr. Fridell who was still standing there, said, doctor Hanenda's footsteps stopped when he saw Lucas who had been standing at the door, and I don't know how long he had been there, what is clear when looking at Lucas' expression now filled with anger and sadness is enough to prove, if Lucas seems to have heard everything.
"Please.. Since when are you there? Don't you have to rest, your condition hasn't fully recovered yet,"
"I'm fine Uncle Han" said Lucas, who barged into Mr. Fridell's study still standing there with a difficult-to-art facial expression.
"Didn't you have much to say to me?" Lucas asked who was still staring very hard at Dad.
"Why don't you ever tell me if Ken is also your son? Why don't you ever tell me if Ken's mother was Starla's father, and Daniel, who was he?"
"Lucas, we can talk about this another time, your condition is still not good right now," replied Doctor Hanenda while holding onto Lucas's shoulders which already seemed to vibrate.
"No uncle, there won't be another time, I want everything to be clear now, it's been enough all this time I've been a fool who doesn't know anything, and now.. Tell the.. TELL ME EVERYTHING I DON'T KNOW DAD.. " Shouted Lucas.
Slowly Mr. Fridell took a deep breath while sitting himself in his swivel chair while continuing to look at Lucas who was now standing right in front of him.
"Are you sure you want to know everything?" Asked Mr. Fridell slowly who had not yet let go of his eyes.
"Everything, say everything."
"alright.. I'll tell you everything, including why you're still breathing today." Mr. Fridell's repulsive reply made Lucas feel uneasy.
