Within a second of Windy's lips landing on hers, Vano pushed the girl's body away, automatically releasing the girl's grip on her.
The man frowned as he looked at Windy, feeling clueless as to why the girl was doing something like this to him. His eyes were full of disappointment.
And without speaking again, Vano left Windy.
Once outside Windy's room, Vano didn't leave immediately. The man was silent for a while in front of the room door. Pensively. For some reason, even though it was Windy who did it, he did not feel like it. Really don't like it.
“Oh, Vano!”
Windy was shocked to hear his name being called. The man turned to the source of the voice coming from his right, right in front of a door of the room next to Windy's room. The man then smiled as soon as he saw Brian standing there.
“Brian, how's Kiara?” asked Vano as he walked over to Brian.
Brian smiles but Vano doesn't seem to notice the vibrations in Brian's black bead, which signals that the man is lying. “She's fine, she's conscious.” His word.
“So? What happened to him?”
Brian muttered as he scratched the back of his head, trying to find the right words. “Uh... earlier, suddenly Kiara fainted when she was near the wardrobe to clean up the unused costumes again because the shooting was stopped. Apparently this morning he forgot to eat his breakfast because he was too eager to work. He... Will be fine.” Brian held onto Vano's shoulder and patted him several times.
Vano smiled and sighed in relief at Brian's explanation. “Thank you.. have taken care of it.”
“Tak problems. Now it's your turn.” Brian walked sideways from the front door, giving Vano room to step inside. “Van, take good care of it, okay?”
Vano who had just placed his hand on the doorknob stopped his movements and looked at Brian for a moment before smiling and nodding. He turned the doorknob and then entered and closed the door behind his back.
Meanwhile, Brian sighed heavily. He rubbed his face and ruffled his hair and looked at the closed door beside him.
“Kiara.. You really are a stupid girl.” Mumbled.

Kiara herself does not understand why suddenly her consciousness just disappeared when she was cleaning up the costumes to be put back into the collection of other costumes in the wardrobe.
The last thing he remembered was his morning routine which seemed to be spinning back in his mind. Ah yes, he forgot his breakfast and the drugs he had to eat after breakfast because he was too eager to get back to work.
When he woke up and looked to the side, Brian was beside him. The tall man's face looked very worried, visible from his deeply furrowed brows while looking at him, although he also saw a look of relief within his face.
Kiara had wanted to say something to Brian when suddenly his eyes widened and immediately the girl fluttered with her hands flailing around.
He can't talk. And he can't breathe.
Brian who saw Kiara panicking with her condition scavenging for air, also panicked. The man got up from his seat and approached Kiara, helping the girl to sit up and lean on her pillow and trying to calm her down.
However, that did not help Kiara at all. The girl was still shaking as if looking for something, but she could not say what she needed because she could not breathe. The girl clutched tightly onto Brian's arm, causing the man to feel pain in his wrist.
“Kiara, Kiara, what's up?! You need anything? I'll call the doctor.”.
Kiara immediately shook her head violently upon hearing the word ‘doctor’. The girl closed her eyes in frustration before gathering all her strength and saying one word before her chest hurt even more.
“Tas..”.
Once the bag was in her lap, the girl immediately released her tight grip on Brian's hand and rummaged through the contents of his bag. Before long, the girl pulled out an inhaler and immediately put the breathing apparatus in her mouth. A few seconds later, Kiara began to sigh in relief.
But it didn't get there. The girl again stirred up the contents of her bag and took out several tubes of medicine. After asking Brian for water, the girl took several pills from each tube which amounted to about 4 grains.
While Kiara is busy with her drugs, Brian notices the girl's every move. When the girl finished taking her medications and was about to put the tubes back into the bag, Brian first picked one of them up. He read the name of the medicine listed on the pill tube and his forehead wrinkled.
“Kiara..”.
Kiara quickly took the medicine tube out of Brian's hand and put it in the bag. The girl then turned her eyes to the blanket covering her legs. I couldn't look at Brian.
“The disease is not a mere allergy, is not it?” ask Brian. The man's thoughts floated a few years ago, when they were in school and sometimes Kiara was often sick and Vano always answered her questions with ‘allergies chilled’.
Brian had never seen how the disease attacked Kiara directly, but it seemed that the girl's illness this time was still the same as many years ago. And it's definitely not some sort of allergy.
Kiara did not answer. The girl kept her head down deeply.
“Kiara, I know what kind of disease it is. That's not the disease, is it?” ask Brian again.
Kiara was still silent, but this time she bit her lip. Of course he knew why Brian could know about his illness just by looking at his drugs.
His sister was a doctor, and after all the man had studied pharmacy for two years before turning to acting classes. He also told me about his uncle who had the same disease and ended up dying a few years ago.
“But why? You didn't..”Brian frowned, thinking hard before the frown disappeared. “Cannot..”.
Kiara finally raised her face. The girl turned her head to look at Brian, and as if knowing what the man was thinking, the girl nodded.
“Kiara, if so, you should be dealt with immediately! You need to be operated! It's dangerous! Do people know? You must—“
“Do.”
Brian was silent as soon as he heard Kiara who had been silent at last finally let out a voice.
“Don't let people know. I'll handle it.” Said Kiara again.
Brian looked at Kiara concerned. “So they don't know yet.” murmured.
“I've told some people who should know. For you, it's because of force. But I don't want Vano to know.”
“Wah..” Brian rolls his eyeballs. “Kiara Kusuma, you really..”.
“Please... do not tell Vano. I will overcome this disease in a moment, so until then, please do not tell him about anything.” Pinta Kiara with a clear face that makes anyone who sees her will not be able to bear.
Finally, with****** hard, Brian clucked then nodded and stood up. “Alright, I'll keep this a secret, but if you don't also take your operation, I'll drag you to my brother's operating table, Kiara!”
Kiara smiled knot. “Thank you, Brian.”
