“ I can no longer do this, Ly. ” complained Adhisti as soon as he approached Lyra who was sitting reading in the library.
“ What's up? ” response Lyra curious about Adhisti problem.
“ That crazy Gavrill followed me 24 hours full! Try to imagine that! ” screech Adhisti a little hard.
“ Keep your voice down we're in the library.How can he follow you for 24 hours? ”
“ She lives at home now ahhh..Even just breathe I can't calm down.”.
“ What? Your brother allowed him to stay home with you? ”
“ Do not ask again.malah Big Brother who insists I should be able to accept because it is for my safety as well. But I really feel constrained ”
“ Gosh....” Lyra is concerned.
“ I have to how..now that he has sent a message will soon pick me up home. This is the same as locking me up ”
Lyra does not know what to give a solution, she is also as restrained as Adhisti is not allowed to go anywhere without Ares' permission. He also had to return home on time. It's just that he doesn't have a special guard like Adhisti.
“ I want to help but you know for yourself your brother if you have made a decision can not be changed ” said Lyra.
“ Until when I hold with all this ” complained Adhisti, then suddenly his phone rings.
Adhisti took the call for a while.
“ Shit! ” rutuknya.
Lyra can instantly guess that it was fitting Gavrill who told her he had arrived to pick up Adhisti.
“ Come I will accompany ” invite Lyra to try to persuade Adhisti to be a little calmer.
With a lazy pace Adhisti followed Lyra, and sure enough Gavrill was waiting with his car in front of the library.
“ Please Miss ” said Gavrill while opening the door for Adhisti.
“ I go first, Ly. There are impatient humans here ” Adhisti's whistle and then get in the car.
Gavrill shut the car door regardless of Adhisti's taunts.
“ Miss Lyra will soon be picked up by the driver who assigned Mr. Doesn't matter if we go first? ” ask Lyra.
“ Should not be too hard on Adhisti, pity him ” reply Lyra.
“ Sorry Miss but this is already my duty ” firmly Gavrill rigid.
Lyra could only sigh realizing there was no point in talking to that stubborn human in front of her.
“ Alright you guys just go, I will wait here ” Lyra said.
“ Be careful Miss and do not go anywhere before your driver comes ” Gavrill then get in the car.
“ I have to go straight home now?! ” asked Adhisti in an annoyed tone.
Gavrill drove the car.
“ As far as I know you have no other activity agenda anymore ” replied Gavrill calmly.
“ Still what I can't have time to just relax ”
“ Miss can relax at home. After delivering you to the house I still have another job ”
“ You can't go, but I'm locked up at home. I can also take care of myself even go alone ”
“ But I was assigned to follow and keep your safety wherever Miss went ”
Adhisti snatches annoyed, again Gavrill just suppress him by relying on Ares' orders.

“ You who?! ” Lyra jumped in surprise when a middle-aged man patted her on the shoulder, she immediately stood away from the man.
Lyra did not immediately believe it just like that, she remained alert and paid attention to the people around her. He was waiting for his driver and sitting on the bench in the library park. Suddenly the man approached her.
“ Sorry I don't know you excuse me ” said Lyra quickly intended to leave the man.
“ Wait a minute Young Miss, you may not know me. But I know your husband well especially your in-laws ”
Lyra's steps stopped hearing the man mention knowing her husband and also her father-in-law who Lyra did not know at all.
“ I'm a good friend of your husband's mother Ares. Did your husband never tell you? ” continued the man.
Lyra turned around despite not getting close to the man, because she was curious how the man knew Ares her husband while most people did not know about it because her identity was kept secret by Ares.
“ I'm glad to see you here. I happened to pass around here. Then look at you because I feel familiar and it turns out my guess is right I met Ares' wife here ” obviously the man with a slowly typical elderly person.
“ I don't know you and my husband never introduced me to you either. Then how do you know me? ” ask Lyra fast.
“ Oh.. It's a pity Ares never talked about this old man to his wife. Though I was so close to him, I considered him my own son. Of course I know his wife. ”
Lyra shakes her head in disbelief at the man's words.
“ I'm a friend of his mother, he's like my own son. It is unfortunate indeed Ratna left so quickly died two poor children ” said the man.
“ Ratna? Is that Mr Ares's mother's name? ”, Inner Lyra wondered.
“ Ratna who is it? ” ask Lyra curious.
“ Jeez! The boy never told you about his mother. Ratna's Ares' mother, your father-in-law! ” exclaimed the man as if surprised Lyra did not recognize her own in-laws.
Lyra fell silent not knowing what kind of expression to have, because it was true that she did not know the slightest bit about the old man
Ares.
“ Here's the boy's problem he's too closed. All about him he didn't even tell anyone ” The man kept telling me as if he knew Ares very well. And of all the stories Lyra can guarantee it's true, because it fits perfectly with the personality of Ares she's known all along. The man sounded quite familiar with Ares's nature and behavior.
“ Anyway I'm happy Ares can marry you. I know you are a good woman, Ares must be happy to have you especially now I hear you are pregnant ” said the man.
Lyra was really surprised that the man knew about her pregnancy, Lyra's spontaneous movements touching her stomach as if to protect her child. She didn't expect the man to know she was pregnant. If you just guess at the moment Lyra is wearing a hoodie that is fairly thick so that it is impossible for someone to immediately know her pregnancy.
Lyra was very confused and wondered if everything the man said was true she was close to Ares. So Ares who told the man that Lyra was his wife and is currently pregnant with his child. But all this time Lyra had never seen this man being around Ares, therefore she could not immediately trust the man.
“ If I may know who you are? ” ask Lyra.
“ Just call Jack. I say hi to Ares, tell him I'll keep an eye on you. However you are very important to Ares, so so is it for me ” said the man then with a little bow respect he immediately left Lyra there.
“ Tu-wait ” Lyra's grunter prevents the man but the man named Jack has completely vanished from his sight that fast.
Lyra stood there trying to digest the new fact.
“ Miss sorry has made you wait ”
Lyra regained her senses from her daydream and saw her driver standing next to her.
“ Ahh..iya it's okay ” replied Lyra in a daze.
“ We leave now Miss ” take the driver.
Lyra nodded then stepped following her driver, she turned around for a moment to see if the man who had just been there was still. It turns out that guy really is gone.
Lyra continued, until the driver opened the car door.
The car drove through the streets, but Lyra was still busy thinking about her meeting with the man.
“ I will ask directly to Mr. Ares ”, Lyra mutters in heart.
