"Ist.. how could you be with me Tira. Come to think of it, there is no harm in that. We are not married, we are still lovers. If you're married, but I'm still glancing at other men, that's not true." Anna tried to defend herself by remaining grimaced, making Tira only able to shake her head, feeling strange with the principles held by Anna.
"You can think that easily. Being in a loving relationship with someone, even though not married is a commitment, because for me to be in a loving relationship with someone the goal in the future is to get married, not just to have fun." The serious words from Tira instantly made Anna scratch her head with a faint smile.
”You are indeed a gentle and kind girl with your simple thoughts. Hopefully you can find a man who is as like you, because for now it is very rare for men and women who think colot like you. Many people think of a relationship as trying to find the best...."
"There's nothing wrong with that." Tira immediately cut off Anna's words.
"I've been less careful before. An unpleasant experience. So, before you find the best, before you are sure about the feelings of love between the two of you, do not have any relationship with that person. Do not because you want to try, you easily accept a pira as your lover, let alone to do things that are beyond the limits of the norm." Tira continued her words with a smile, while Anna could only sigh as soon as she heard Tira's words.
For Anna, in many ways she was like Tira, but for matters of romantic relationships, Anna had a much different principle to Tira, and after Anna had studied the lives of the people in Gracetian, she had a different one, Anna only understood that the country was large and developed, with a high level of public welfare, but had some thoughts and rules that were considered a little conservative by Anna, who was an American citizen, and raised in an environment whose thinking is too free.
Although sometimes Anna feels strange with Tira's way of thinking and behavior, but a little bit she is sometimes even grateful for being friends with Tira, making her not behave like a wild horse, but a little bit, this has been done by many girls around him.
"Although I find it strange how you think, but actually I know there's nothing wrong with that, and there's no harm in me trying to think like a godly person like you." Anna said as she accelerated her footsteps following the wide steps of Tira who wanted to go home soon, because she wanted to contact Alvero regarding Ernest's problem.

"Hallo." Although the voice that Tira heard was not Alvero's voice, after she made a call to Alvero, but Tira's face immediately looked bright upon hearing Deanda's melodious voice.
"Sir Deanda, glad to hear Brother's voice." Deanda immediately smiled at Tira's soft greeting.
"How are you Tira? What about your college? Is everything going well? Has Ernest found a bright spot ready for the intruder?" The question from Deanda that pretty much made Tira laugh a little, happy to see how Deanda cared for him.
"My lecture was very smooth, Deanda, but unfortunately the intruder is not clear who did it, maybe because some time he did not do terror as usual, he said, so Ernest hasn't been able to find any signs that could help him find new clues." Tira's reply made Deanda take a deep breath.
"Thank you for your prayers, brother. By the way, where's Brother Alvero? Why did Deanda pick up Alvero's phone?" Tira's question led Deanda to glance at Alvero who was seriously talking to Evan, he met Alvero at the Adalvino company building to discuss plans for a minor overhaul of the Gracetian military security system in the sea.
"Your brother Alvero is having an important meeting with Evan, a matter of state. Is there anything I can help you with? Because it looks like the meeting between the two of them will not be over soon." Deanda said in a voice slow enough not to disturb the concentration of Evan and Alvero who were looking so serious about exchanging ideas.
“It's about Ernest..”.
“Why with Ernest? Is there something bad going on with her?” Deanda immediately thought of the bad things about Ernest, even considering how Ernest had almost been killed while fighting Eliana, making Deanda a little worried about him.
‘No Brother. No... Not something bad, but I was confused, because Ernest was in my group, which was tasked with performing one of the songs with instrumental type.”.
“Oh...” Deanda muttered softly hearing Tira's words.
“He is not from a musical background, whereas my major is really filled with people who have dreams and skills related to music. The band assessment of my group was quite an important influence in my personal assessment as well.” Tira's words made Deanda nod her head, beginning to understand what Tira was currently worried about.
“Therefore I would like to speak with Brother Alvero, and ask for his opinion and instructions.”.
“True Tira, because I frankly can't help you much this time.” Deanda said while holding her breath for a moment.
“Which talk to whom? Seriously to ignore me.” Alvero's sudden voice was already behind him, saying in a soft voice in the position of the lips that were almost stuck to his ears, making a warm gust of his breath sweep across Deanda's neck made Deanda's face flushed instantly, and immediately turned her head with a thumping chest.
It's been a few months since their marriage, but for Deanda, Alvero's existence always makes him like a drunk, with a heartbeat that always rhymes faster than usual, when Alvero treated her sweetly like the one that just happened.
Evan himself immediately smiled to see how Alvero who never lasted if long apart from Deanda, making Evan choose to immediately leave the workspace Alvero without saying goodbye to Deanda, so that she herself could soon meet with Alaya, who had just told her that she was waiting for Evan to be able to enjoy lunch with her and Danella.
