"Key.. " Ray held the face of Kehrani who had been bowing down from earlier held back his anger
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hide it from you" Ray said, now feeling guilty
"Don't just shut up, Key, talk to me" Pinta Ray pleaded because Kehrani never returned his words
Kehrani was silent, not because he was angry but because he could not see Ray's face after all the treatment from Grandpa and Grandma.
"Sorry.. " Lirih Key slowly
"No... It's not your fault"
"I didn't expect that they would ask you for such a thing. My fault. I shouldn't have agreed to come to this house in the first place"
"It's not your fault. I can understand their feelings, all this they do for you. With my current identity, I will only bring you into danger"
"Raymond!" He called Kehrani his full name Ray
Kehrani increasingly emotionally heard Ray's words that seemed to justify the actions of Grandpa and Grandma.
"Pers*tan with all those identities. I don't care at all. I'm Kehrani Theresia Princess is not someone they can manage as they please. I'm not their puppet"
Ray was stunned silently watching Kehrani vent his emotions like that. It had been a long time since he had seen Keylani so emotional.
"Sorry.. " Ray immediately pulled Kehrani into his arms trying to calm the little girl. It was really unexpected, if Kehrani would be that angry
"Never think of accepting their offer"
"They were nobody to me, even though we had blood ties"
"I know" replied Ray resignedly following the wishes of his lover
"Have a rest, let me talk to them" Pinta Ray laid Keyrani on the bed
"It's okay, I won't follow their wishes. So you don't have to worry" Ray said calmly as Kehrani held onto his arm
After feeling calm, Ray kissed Keyrani slowly and then came out of the room, walking toward the others who were still at the dining table.
"What about Keylani?" Jeri immediately got up to Ray
"Not to worry. Let him rest first"
"What's really going on?" Ask Grandma Keyrani who still does not understand the reason for Kehrani's anger
"I should have asked you what exactly are you doing. How can you be so selfish? Do you think Kehrani will follow your selfish desires?" Said Jeri as if he did not care about his interlocutor who is his own biological parents
"Look at your words Jeri!" Tegur Grandpa Kehrani
"I'm right Pa. Didn't I tell you, Kehrani will never follow your selfish desires. Forcing him to be the heir of this family, just as you cut off your relationship with him"
"It's not easy to make him come to this house. And now what are you doing? It's only been two days and you've shown your real face? Don't forget his mother is proof of your selfishness" Jeri said sharply
"Akhich... " Granny Kehrani was stunned to hear Jeri's words, his hand now rose squeezing his chest that was painful and tight
"Look what you did, you shouldn't talk like that in front of your mother" Tegur Grandpa Kehrani who now helps his wife stand up
"Sorry Pa.. I'm not trying to aggravate Mama's situation. But still, I'll keep saying that. Stop being selfish. I don't want to lose someone I love for the second time" said Jeri Lirih then turned to leave them, followed by Rani who had been just silently watching
Ray turns away, goes back to the room to check on Keyrani. Likewise with Rian and the others who also left do not want to interfere in the family's problems. Meanwhile, Grandpa and Grandma Kehrani are now sitting at the dinner table, pondering all the words of her son.

"I think this kind of incident only happens in Korean dramas, who knows I'll actually watch it live like that" Aaron said in horror
"Will Kehrani be okay?"
"He'll be fine" Reply Aaron calms Lisa down
"How can I be so stupid, I don't even realize that Kehrani is having this kind of problem" Lisa said feeling guilty for not realizing it from last night
"What happened to Mother Keyrani?" Rian asked curiously because since knowing Kehrani, he had never brought up about his mother
"I just know, Mother Keyrani died in an accident with Keyrani. The rest I don't know, Kehrani never brought it up" Lisa replied in remembrance
"I know" Sela Rani from the direction of the bedroom door
His shirt turned to look at him "What about Brother Jeri?" Rian asked worriedly
"He was talking to Mr. Ray" Rani replied as she walked in and sat down near Lisa
"So what happened?" Aaron asked curiously
"From what Jeri said, Mother Keyrani ran away from home because she could not stand the treatment of her parents. He is always required to be a perfect figure, especially because he is an heir"
"Heir? What about Jeri?"
"No. Jeri is not included because he is a man. They will only choose a female heir because of family rules that require men to build their own business without relying on family"
"Wooaahhhhw... For the first time I feel grateful for not being born into a family with such cruel rules" Aaron said
"So because of this Kehrani got angry?" Ask Rian
"Yes. In addition to wanting Kehrani as heir, they also forced Mr. Ray to release his identity because he did not accept his past. Perhaps this is the biggest reason Kehrani is so emotional"
"I can understand. With the identity of Ray, events like yesterday can happen at any time and it will clearly endanger Kehrani especially if he really accepts the position of heir" said Rian, recalling the incident when Kehrani was kidnapped, it was arranged by Ray's stepmother
"There is no guarantee Kehrani will remain safe if on Ray's side. But back again, for Kehrani the most comfortable place for him at this time is on Ray's side not in this house" Lisa said very well understand the way Kehrani's mind remembers him for so long knowing Kehrani
"So what about us? Are we gonna stay in this house?" Ask Aaron
"I'll stay here. I once left Kehrani and I regret it until now, which is why I will not repeat it a second time" Lisa replied with determination
Aaron just sighed resignedly accepting Lisa's decision. Because Rian will also stay because he still has feelings for Kehrani. While Rani, she also does not want to leave Jeri who is her future husband.
