Eka recounts more details of her past back then, sometimes he had to wipe his tears remembering the incident even though it had been a very long time but so imprinted in his memory even though Grandma Eka tried to cover it all together.

Rovert clasped Xabara's shoulders tightly, Xabara's hands trembling knowing all that his eyes lit up like so much grudge with Bagos' figure.

"forgive me Xabara..! if only that night I dared to tell your family I would die in the middle of the road to your House, I survived until now because I pretended not to know the plan of the evil one" said Grandma Eka.

"actually I would love to tell you but it's too late, I kept it because I was a coward but honestly Xabara, my life has never been quiet Xabara..! I've never had a good night in my sleep, I feel like I want to die but I hope that one day there will be someone who can be the right place for me to tell the truth."

Xabara closed her eyes until her tears came down,

"sad?" rovert whispers.

Xabara slowly opened his eyes, "it's okay Grandma..! Granny can't do anything, it's obvious Grandma will die awake*h before telling us."

"weren't there any phones back then, Grandma?" ask Rovert.

"all tapped, the Xabara Family Home was bugged and I knew it was from Long's message. My hands were too shaky to just send a message not daring, I-I'm afraid..! Xabara if you want to kill*I will gladly give it up, my life has suffered and my death in your hands I like more than death in the hands of the wicked." Grandma Eka.

Rovert looked at Xabara while stroking Xabara's back gently.

Xabara moved next to Eka and held Grandma Eka's hand, "thank you Grandma told me !?"

"ta-but??"

"Miss? Atuk Long is like Grandpa himself to me, after all Grandma also lost Atuk right? I'm sure Grandma also had a grudge against them, just that Granny's fear was more in control of Grandma, right, Grandma??" ask Xabara.

Grandma Eka sobbed, "my guilt for your family is greater than the death of my husband Xabara, but I can't shake my fear."

"thank you Grandma for holding on until I know the truth, if it wasn't for Grandma !? I must feel guilty for letting my family still breathe and laugh on this earth without receiving punishment" Xabara said seriously.

Eka cried hugging Xabara even He said the heavy burden that had befallen his heart had been lifted since telling Xabara, He was not afraid if he had to be killed by anyone after successfully telling Xabara his secret.

Xabara stroked Eka's back, "Grandmother must have suffered so much all this time huh? I'm sorry I'm late to realize that, Grandma!?"

Eka shook her head while letting go of her embrace, "don't apologize Xabara..! don't !!?"

Xabara took Eka by the hand and promised to avenge Atuk Long's death for Eka, Xabara asked Eka to live peacefully without fear.

Rovert clenched his hands to see the beautiful eyes of the Woman He loved teary, since then He had indeed held back anger but for the sake of keeping Xabara of course He must be stronger than Xabara who was falling.

in the evening in the modest rooms of Xabara and Rovert,

Rovert brought dinner for Xabara, "honey? you don't want to eat?"

Xabara was silent with a flat glance and Rovert again rebuked Xabara so gently that Xabara looked at Rovert.

"Rovert I'm desperately trying to learn to avenge my family's death, I think it's all over without me thinking it turns out the mastermind of my family's death is still alive, they must be happy, they must be happy, we laughed and enjoyed all our suffering. Rovert I-I'm so stupid, aren't I?"

Rovert shook his head, "you're just fooled dear that's why I'm amazed you managed to get revenge in just 3 years while I was?"

Rovert smelled a smile and cupped Xabara's cheek, "your revenge works, it's just not perfect, you understand what I mean?"

Xabara smiled faintly and nodded her head.

"want to eat?" rovert asked but Xabara shook her head.

"honey?? revenge also needs energy." said Rovert.

"My grandchild?? revenge needs Strength." The memory of the Demon's words while training Xabara while still alive.

Xabara stared at Rovert long enough then Rovert brought his face closer to Xabara's face so close that it got closer.

"don't let your pest be weak dear, you are the Queen of Higanbana who is invincible.you are too extraordinary until you can't see the lowest coward who dares to fight sheep."

Xabara smiled and his hand stroked Rovert's jaw, "your words always remind me of the man I once loved."

Rovert chuckled softly, "then I'll be the one you love right?"

Xabara shrugged his shoulders indifferently and then Rovert kissed Xabara's cheeks affectionately while Xabara pushed the chest of Rovert's field but not too strong.

"so you want to eat?" ask Rovert.

Xabara finally wanted to eat thanks to Rovert's tireless persuasion and was so patient in dealing with his nature.

to esokan day,

Xabara and Rovert were shocked by residents shouting that Grandma Eka was dying.

The panicked Xabara must have come to Grandma Eka's House with Rovert, many people who crowded the Lady's cottage.

Grandma Eka who saw Xabara immediately stretched out her hand weakly certainly Xabara welcomed her.

"Grandpa?" great-grandson Xabara.

"Thank you for coming all the way here Xabara, I-I could die peacefully after meeting you."

"was Grandma seriously ill all this time? do we need to go to the hospital?" xabara wiped her tears.

Grandma Eka shook her head, "i've been suffering all this time son, let me catch up with my husband."

Rovert could only look the other way because he could not see Xabara so sad, The other residents did not say anything just thinking Xabara was the one who could make Grandma Eka become more peaceful as she is today.

Xabara could only endure the tears of seeing the One who had told him the truth about the death of his Family died before his eyes, looking once Grandma Eka was so peaceful as if the suffering that had been harbored by him had disappeared.

"Grandma I know Grandma survived all this time wanting to tell me the truth it's just that Grandma didn't know I was alive, thanks for waiting for me." Inner Xabara.

Xabara stood with his legs so unsteady that soon Rovert held Xabara's waist, Xabara flipped her body leaning her forehead against Rovert's shoulder while crying silently.

Rovert stroked Xabara's head while the beachside villagers were so grieved by Grandma Eka's passing, they knew how good she was but her life was not as good as others thought, all the women in the village were already trying to get close to Eka, as close as Grandma Eka to the people there still Eka never tell or tell about her past to anyone.
