"Kalista why?"
Rahadyan sat on the sofa folding her hands and looked at Agas demandingly. It's a very serious matter of seeing Kalistas acting normal.
The child is indeed troubled if act, but if he is silent even more unbelievable.
"Miss is fine," replied Agas as calm as a well.
"You think I'm stupid, Agas?"
"That's my conclusion, sir. Miss is fine." Agas closed his eyes for a moment. "Only, there are indeed some things that Miss thought of."
"What?"
"I think it's just normal. Miss is thinking about who she is and how she is now."
"Huh?" Rahadyan immediately gawked, not because she did not understand but did not expect that Agas would say.
"Lately Miss has been very concerned about my whereabouts. Of course I know Miss is urging you to have my contract extended for as long as possible. That's not a sign Miss really likes me and can't part from me, but it's a sign Miss is just afraid of losing something that Miss really likes."
"It's as simple as a little kid loving one toy so much that he keeps holding it but still freaks out if the toy is broken or lost or snatched by someone else."
So does Kalista mean she's pubescent? Puber is not about love but about his identity?
Mm-hmmmm. This is something that anyone usually thinks of. Then Rahadyan need not worry?
"But, sir," said Agas stopping Rahadyan's daydream for a moment, "I suggest you spend longer with Miss."
"Because?"
Of course Rahadyan would, too, but why would this fellow bother to suggest something so obvious? Obviously not because he cares.
"Miss says that you and this family mean nothing to him."
Rahadyan was jolted by the feeling of her heart breaking.
Although actually it might be possible to think about it himself, but he did not expect Kalista would say it directly to Agas.
"From Miss's point of view, even if you try, there is no reason for Miss to care or appreciate. Therefore, you better try harder. To have Miss accept you."
Rahadyan closed her eyes.
This person spoke emotionlessly yet pierced deeply into Rahadyan's emotions.
Hah, it's hard to refute what he's saying that's fucking true.
Until now, it was like there was only one percent progress from one hundred percent. There is still a very long distance between Rahadyan and Kalista, even though he has been trying.
"You haven't answered my question yet" Rahadyan murmured. "Why do you give me advice?"
".... Isn't it obvious?"
"What?"
"Miss is obsessed with me because nothing else matters around her. Miss ignored reality, ignoring logic and rationality under the pretext of loving me for nothing but me. Didn't you yourself tell me to turn Miss's feelings on you?"
It was cold, Rahadyan murmured in her heart when she saw Agas. I think there is no reason to worry that he likes Kalista.
The way he spoke was already hinting that he saw Kalista as an object being observed. Not a man, not a girl.
Hah, that's good for Rahadyan.
"I have a plan like that." Rahadyan moved on, passing because she felt the conversation was over. "Today you are on leave. Rest. Let me be the same Kalista who left."
"Good."
Actually Rahadyan wants to express her feelings to Kaliara later, on the birthday of her son who will be celebrated massively by Oma. But since Agas gave that advice, Rahadyan felt that there was no harm in approaching now.
After all, Kalista also invited him to the tomb of Sukma Dewi, so Rahadyan should take this opportunity well.
