The Indian and Russian man sat on the sofa next to the Eagle. That night everyone gathered because Vin's arrival was completely beyond expectations.
The eagle deliberately told Lian to find out everything about the woman, including about her husband. He wanted to make sure that the man was really human or maybe a fellow Kalla.
Apparently he's really human. Vin works in a coal mine. He was a former military man, forced to leave his job because of a bomb-damaged incident and made his legs unable to walk as hard as they used to. He had to undergo therapy, to recover his condition. And because of that, he resigned.
About 10 months ago, he had to live far away from his wife, Gwen, who worked at a convenience store. Vin will be home only on weekends.
Vin and Gwen have been married for 5 years, and have not been given any children. Gwen's content is a little problematic. Because there's a cyst in her womb. But, according to Vin, Gwen suddenly told him that she was pregnant. The content that just runs 2 weeks certainly makes Vin anxious. He immediately went home to see his wife, but only 3 days ago he came home.
When they checked with the obstetrician, apparently Gwen was really pregnant. The cyst in her womb is gone. Miraculous.
Gwen said she was taking herbal medicine and now she is completely cured of her illness. And of course Vin is able to breathe freely. For he now had two blessings, one the recovery of his wife, and the bonus of a baby, the fruit of their marriage.
But, everything's gone now. Her dreams and hopes were dashed, because apparently the woman who had accompanied her for several months was a demon. It's really falling apart.
When the Eagle came to him, he almost killed the Eagle for saying something bad about his wife. But, Eagle then shows the truth through Gissel, Gwen's best friend, who is working with Gwen and becomes the only person closest to Gwen.
The eagle traps Gissel, he makes Lian a decoy for Gissel, and succeeds. Gissel returns to his original form, and Vin sees with his own eyes, as Gissel nearly kills his victim. Lian.
Fortunately, the Eagle managed to kill Gissel first. And Lian? The eagle managed to erase Lian's memory with his sapphire stone. That was also what he would do to Ellea and Shanum.
"Welcome, Vin," said the Eagle before continuing the discussion tonight.
"So, you're all members of Argenis? Like you said before?"
"No. Not everyone. The two women were not," Adi pointed at Ellea and Shanum who were sitting close together.
Ellea looked at Adi with a line of eyes. He's always on the stamp of a weak woman. While Shanum just silently looked at the Eagle since earlier. The Eagle's face was still full of sweat, mixed with blood and looking dirty. Shanum's hands were very itchy, wanting to clean them.
"Excuse me," Shanum said, moving towards the kitchen.
"Why are you looking at me like that? No, are my words true? You're just a victim who's gonna be the next target because of your own memory."
"What do you mean?"
"Kalla, I'll keep going after you two. And you're here nothing more than bait."
"What?"
"We will help as much as we can" Shanum said, coming with a basin of warm water and a small towel. He walked straight to the Eagle, and immediately got a sharp look from the cruel eyes of the owner of this house.
"Do you want what?" asked the Eagle to slightly back his body. Shanum did not reply, instead holding the Eagle's chin and immediately wiped his face.
Gio cleared his throat, while Adi clucked. The real eagle wants to refuse, even resigned just like that. He was silent, as Shanum wiped his face with the small towel. Honestly, deep down he felt comfortable.
"If you want to take a shower, you should use warm water. I'm afraid you're gonna get a fever. Your face is pale. Let me make you some warm milk, maybe?" asked Shanum who was done with his task.
Eagle sculpting. A little gawking, as this was the first time he had received this kind of treatment from a woman. Jihan alone, her former lover who had recently broken up from her, had never treated an Eagle like this. Jihan is an idealistic woman, she does not like trivial things like this stale alkaline attention.
Normally Jihan would send a message, if she could not come to the Eagle's house, and instead she sent some food from her restaurant to the Eagle. Jihan women are quite busy, even the intensity of their meetings is very little.
For that reason, the Eagle and Jihan decided to separate. For the Eagle, the relationship he had with Jihan was like a contract. They both hold advanced companies, and managed to establish cooperation together.
Now, Shanum gave me something else. Something the Eagle has felt before. Shanum's small attention really made the Eagle's heart beat faster. "Elang? Hey!" call Shanum while shaking his right hand to the face of the Eagle.
"Yes, later." The eagle turned his eyes down. He did not dare to look into Shanum's eyes, which were now staring at him.
"Lang's? Tonight, right?" ask Adi, seriously.
The eagle does not forget. And they did plan this out already far away. It's been a while since they let the two women have a bad memory of Kalla. And it's very dangerous for their safety.
"What's wrong?" shanum asked, confused.
Adi and Eagle look at each other, throw each other responsibility, who should explain to the two women.
"So the two of them are planning to erase your memories, just like the Eagle did to Lian," Gio said as he snatched a snack at the table.
Now Shanum and Ellea were alternately staring at Adi and the Eagle.
"What do you mean?erasing our memories?" ellea asked for an explanation. He now turned to Abhimanyu who was sitting beside him.
"Eum ...." Abhimanyu who was confused how to explain, now fixed his sitting position. Wishing someone else would gladly snatch the answer from Ellea's mouth.
"Byeah?"
And Abhimanyu's defense collapsed the moment the name came out of Ellea's mouth. "Well, the Eagle said that we should erase your memory for your safety from Kalla. Because anyone who has ever seen their original wukud, it will be the next target of victims. Kalla has a keen sense of smell. You will be their target, " explained Abhimanyu.
"We're targets? No, is that good? You can make us bait, to get them close, right?" ellea asked, excited. He even forgot how scared he was yesterday, when he was a victim of Kalla's captivity.
Shanum placed the basin on the floor. He took a deep breath. "Ellea's right. No, that's good. If we are among you, then our way to kill them is wide open."
Everyone is silent. Because it cannot be denied, if the words of the two girls have a point.
"Rubber too. We better make them bait," said Adi excited.
"Why? They don't even mind, do they? You have to remember, Bi, that to invite Kalla to come to us is not easy. They already know about us. They know about all the members of Argenis now. It wasn't just me, Eagle, and Gio that they were after, but you, the two of them and of course Vin now."
"Adi's right. Now they know that Argenis already has many members. I can assure you we'll find it harder to find them. They'll hide and avoid us." Gio now agreed with his arch-nemesis.
"Except ... If we have the bait, that's the two of them. We can trap Kalla. Right, right, Lang?"
The eagle looked at Adi with a flat expression. His mind was full of the worst and best possibilities. However, strangely the Eagle's brain seemed to not want anything to happen to the two girls. He did not want them to get hurt, especially Shanum's eyes now look shady. The girl's thin smile felt able to make her heart comfortable, and it felt like she wanted to continue to be able to see Shanum's smile.
"No! That's not a good idea, it's too risky!" reject Eagle.
Shanum clasped the Eagle's hand. "We better work together to destroy Kalla. Ellea and I will help. It does not rule out the possibility that we will see them again. Many humans turned out to be their commoners, and with us having these memories, we would be more vigilant."
The eagle was agitated. Only he and Abhimanyu disagreed with this idea. But the Eagle gave up because there was no other way. He had to agree to this.
"It's up to you."
"In case, the two of them should always be accompanied or at least we should be near them within 5 meters. No, are they going to be targeted by Kalla? And automatically their presence will draw Kalla closer, right? That makes it easier for us to catch them," Vin suggested.
"That's a good idea. Ellea always comes to the cafe where Abi works, doesn't she? We'll take turns following you, Ellea. Abi's task was to look around if there was Kalla approaching. Then to Shanum ...." Adi's words were cut. Since Shanum has no job, he had just resigned a few days ago for the reason of taking care of the marriage with his lover who had been killed by them. Noah told Shanum to take care of the house after they got married. Because for Noah, Shanum will focus more on taking care of the household if not working outside. It was Noah's original plan, before Kalla was killed and Kalla was transformed into him.
"Let's just say, let Shanum work in my office. It just so happens that Lian will move to the branch office I just opened the other day, so the secretary position will be vacant."
"What is true? Lian moved to the branch? No, she's your only confidant and you're not gonna let her go.... "
"I'm his Ceo, aren't I?" The Eagle question is able to cut out Adi's unfinished sentence completely.
Adi only stared at the Eagle a second ago, pulling next to his lips. "You'll be all right."
He seemed to understand the purpose and purpose of Eagle raised Shanum as his secretary, replacing Lian.
Discussion over. For a while Vin will stay with them as well. Because his residence was also destroyed due to last night's fight. Vin also plans to move out of the place. All his memories with his wife want him buried deep. With the revenge that he must complete. It's just that he hasn't found the right place yet. Moreover, if they live in one place like this, then it makes it easier for them to move if the terror of Kalla reappears and unsettles humans.

Shanum walked to his room on the second floor, the room adjacent to the Eagle. If the Eagle is going to his room, then he must pass through Shanum's room.
"Eum, so when should I start working, Mr Ceo?" shanum asked who was about to enter his room, and it just so happened that the Eagle had just passed behind him. The eagle stopped its steps, without looking at it at all. "Tomorrow. You've started working. So prepare yourself. Go sleep. You must be tired" said the Eagle, then continued his steps again.
Shanum smiled faintly, as he turned the doorknob, now the Eagle cleared his throat. "Ehm, thank you."
The sentence made Shanum turn to the Eagle with a frown. "For?"
"All. Breakfast, lunch, and... About that." Without waiting for Shanum's reply, the Eagle went straight into his room. While on the other side, Shanum blushed.

"Biyu" called Ellea who saw Abhimanyu in the kitchen. The girl can't sleep. He was suffering from insomnia again. "What?" sahut Abhimanyu with a flat tone.
"Can you make me a capucino latte?"
"You think this is a cafe? Can't!" cetus Abhimanyu sipped the water he had just taken.
"I really can't sleep if I haven't had your coffee."
"Cih, your seduction is really cliche. After all, which humans, who experience insomnia even drink coffee? That's weird, Ell."
Abhimanyu who was about to return to his room was then confronted by Ellea. "Rubber... Please," pinta Ellea weld. "I really can't sleep. I fear. My mood is not calm."
The murat of confusion was clearly visible in Ellea's eyes. He was really serious about his words. Without answering anything, Abhimanyu immediately made two cups of capucino latte. Lucky Eagle has a barista tool in his kitchen.
Two cups of capucino latte are already in each other's grasp. The two of them sat in the garden, which was in the backyard of the Eagle House. There is a mini waterfall complete with a koi fish pond nearby. The sound of water rustling, making the atmosphere not too quiet.
The two of them sat down on the garden chair, looking at the fish that swam here and there. Garden lights that are installed in several corners make the condition of the garden not too dark.
Ellea sipped coffee in her hand. His eyes straight into the pool. However, his mind wandered everywhere. He was worried and scared. But he felt safe and comfortable, especially when he was near Abhimanyu.
Since the first time they met at the cafe at that time, Ellea felt that Abhimanyu was a good man. Although impressed haughty and cold. But behind it all, Abi is a gentle person. Ellea who is a psychology graduate easily assesses the attitudes and behaviors of someone nearby. Moreover, Abhimanyu was the first person who really worried for his safety. Abhimanyu is most afraid to see the condition of Ellea when held captive Kalla the other day. While others only care about it, Abhimanyu actually makes Ellea feel important. He really likes to tickle the man, because an annoyed expression Abi will tickle Ellea's heart.
"If someday, I should die at the hands of Kalla ...."
"What do you mean?!" screeched Abhimanyu and immediately turned to Ellea.
"I'm thinking about the worst possible. You shut up, Biyu. I'm not done talking yet" whined the girl.
"If one day I die.... "
"I'm not gonna let that happen. That's what I'm gonna do. I'll take care of you, we'll all take care of each other. And I won't let you get hurt in the least!" firmly Abhimanyu with serious eyes.
Ellea was overwhelmed to hear it. Heart's rustling. Then spontaneously Ellea gave a short kiss to Abhimanyu's lips. The man glared, not expecting the girl to be this brave.
"Let's go back to the room. Now I'm sleepy" said Ellea, pointing out the cup of coffee that had gone down.
Abhimanyu remained silent as Ellea departed from before him.
