After returning from the academy, Aling immediately went to Lina's house to pick up Viko. The last few days Viko always played with Renu, so Alin had to pick her up at Lina's house. Arriving at Lina's house, Alin was astonished by the atmosphere. The atmosphere looks dark and lonely.
"Lina! Renu! Auntie! Are you guys home?" Call Alin.
"why doesn't anyone say anything? Are they not at home? No, it's impossible. Lina and I have agreed to meet this afternoon. They must be inside.."
Alin tried to call them, but there was no response. Eventually, he decided to go straight into the house. When Alin pushed the door, it was unlocked and it made Alin even more certain that they were home now.
He came in and passed the living room. As Alin passed through the living room, there were no signs of them. But Alin had not given up, he again walked towards the kitchen. When Alin went to the kitchen, he saw Lina and Renu sitting on the dining table chair.
But strangely, they look sad. The atmosphere of the house is also dark and quiet. Lina looked down, like she was crying and Renu seemed to be calming her down. Alin was curious about what was going on between them and he approached her. As Alin began to approach towards them, Renu turned his head towards him.
"Sister Alin..." Lirih Renu's.
"What's wrong with Lina?" Alin asked who was starting to worry.
"Sister.."
Renu had not yet finished his explanation, Lina had already run towards Alin and hugged him. Lina sobbed in Alin's arms. He looks very sad and down at the moment. Alin and Renu try to calm him down.
"Lina.. What's wrong with you? Are you all right?" Ask Alin in a soft tone.
"Clin... Huhuhoo... I'm..."
"You what? Tell me everything.."
"Mother, mother. He already knows my relationship with Reyhan. But he didn't approve of her and he told me to end our relationship. Huhuhoo.." Crying Lina.
"Sister... Don't cry anymore."
"Lina has helped me a lot. Now I have to be able to help her."
Alin returned Lina's embrace and stroked her back to feel somewhat calm. Alin was now determined to help Lina. He will try Lina's mother to agree to their relationship.
"That's it.. Don't cry anymore. Renu would be very sad to see you cry like this. I promise, I will definitely help you!" Alin said with confidence.
"Thank you, Alin.."
"Where is your mother now?"
"We don't know where my mom is now. Mother was very angry and left without saying a word to us." Sahut Renu's.
Alin actually wanted to stay there to accompany Lina and Renu, but he had his own responsibilities. He must look after Luke and he will promise to return home after picking up Viko. By force, Alin must undo his good intentions.
Alin let go of Lina's embrace and sat her down on the chair. Lina now looks better than before, her emotions are now stable and Alin looks rather relieved to see her.
"Have it. We'll discuss this tomorrow at the academy. Now you need to rest, Renu please take care of your brother.."
"Good, brother. Is brother coming home tonight?" Ask Renu.
"Hm, I have to go home before the sun goes down, I was just about to pick up Viko. If not, there will be people running amok to me later." Answer Alin.
"Who is that man, brother?" Ask Renu.
"You don't need to know that guy. He's a terrible person when he's angry. Then I'll go home with Viko." Alin is back.
"Oh.."
After hearing that, Renu immediately ran into the room. After some time, he comes with Viko and hands her over to Alin. Alin took Viko and looked at her for a while.
"Here you go, brother." Renu said while proffering Viko who already looks full.
"Wow, Viko. You look fatter than the last time we met. Lina, Renu, we're going home. Don't be sad anymore.."
"Hm, thank you Alin. Be careful." Lina Sahut.
"Sure, then we go home first. Goodbye.."
After saying goodbye to Lina and Renu, Alin and Viko went back to the palace. When Alin wants to walk to the front door, Lina and Renu follow Alin from behind to take her to the front of the house.
Alin walked away and got further and further away from Lina's house. He continued walking in the middle of the dense forest along with Viko. Honestly, Alin still felt unbearable to leave Lina when she was in such a state, but she had a responsibility as well.
Meanwhile, Luke who was reading a book on his bed began to feel anxious because Alin never came home. He who initially focused became unfocused when he remembered Alin.
"Where is the boy?! He said he'd be home after picking up Viko. But it won't be this long, right?! Is he in danger?! No, no, he'll definitely be back before sundown."
Luke sank into his mind for a while, with the silence that existed at that moment all the shadows about his memories along with Alin began to appear before him. However, the silence and memories instantly broke when a bully entered his room. That person is Kael.
Kael went in and sat down in the chair he had always sat in Luke's room. For a while things got awkward because Kael and Lukas never started their conversation. Until Kael realized something, Alin was nowhere near Luke at the time.
"Where's Alin?"
"Not knowing." Luke is still looking at his book.
"How can you not know where he is now?! Didn't you notice the object of your mission?!"
"He'll be fine. After all, I can't always forbid him to travel just because of my illness. He'll definitely be back before sundown." Answer Luke who still looks calm.
After that Kael did not continue their conversation. He noticed the movements and looks of Luke that looks pale from before. Worried, Kael approached Luke and touched his forehead. Luke was confused, but he kept thinking positively and remained silent. After touching Luke's forehead, Kael again examined his pulse.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"Are you taking your medicine regularly?! Your condition is getting worse."
"Hm, I forgot to take the medicine this afternoon." Luke lightly said.
"Then, did you take the medicine this morning?!" Ask Kael again.
"Yes, Alin gave it to me earlier."
"I told you, he can help you. Huft.. You're not very careful. This time you have to be really careful looking after Alin. Yeni's..."
"What does this have to do with Yeni?!" Ask Luke who is starting to be curious.
Curious enough, Luke immediately released the book in his hand and sat on the bed. He looked at Kael with a sharp gaze and waited for him to speak again.
"Yen... Her.. He threatened to hurt Alin if you and Alin stayed together. So we need to be even more vigilant."
"Ck, I told you, I don't want him anywhere near me. He would definitely be in danger if he was near me!" Luke's Sahut.
Unbeknownst to them, Alin who had returned from Lina's house had already arrived in front of Luke's room. As they were arguing, Alin decided to eavesdrop on the conversation and asked all the guards in front of the room to leave. He stood at the door of the room and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"But this is for your own good, Luke! You even forgot to take your medicine while Alin was away, especially if Alin wasn't around. Maybe you'll die! Beockeil's poison symptoms are also new memories that suddenly disappear and you've already experienced the symptoms." Said Kael who had begun to be irritated by Luke's stubborn attitude.
"I know that, but I can't involve her just for my own personal benefit. He was the grandson of the master teacher Lio Jun Yeo and he was the last descendant of the master family. I can't do that."
"Please Luke, please listen to me just this time. Your condition is getting worse, you have to listen to me." Pinta Kael cares about her.
"Sorry.."
"Listen to me this time. You may argue with me in the future, but not this time. Look what happens if you argue with me. I've forbidden you from helping the crown prince, but you're breaking it just for the sake of information about Anita. And you're here, lying down with Beockeil's poison. Can Anita help you now?! No, right?!" Kael said to Luke.
After hearing Kael's advice, Luke was pensive for a while. On the other hand, he wants Alin safe and on the other hand he wants to get information about Anita, but he still does not care about her situation. He thought and pondered what Kael had told him.
On the other hand, Alin who was at the door was disappointed when he heard Anita's name. He is disappointed in Luke who still cannot forget Anita and he even willingly neglects his health for the sake of Anita. Alin had put Luke in the heart well, but maybe his love was just clapping one hand.
He wanted to kill Anita and Luke, but on the other hand he loved Luke and he did not want Luke to feel sad. Alin was very confused. He was downcast and accidentally one tear escaped from his eye patch. He quickly wiped away the tears and went inside.
