Feel Guilty


"We'll take care of Ivanka's body, but Ivanka's son had to see his mother one last time" Adrian said, gently stroking Kanaya's head propped against her chest. Kanaya is shocked, as Ivanka dies to save herself and the baby in her stomach. If he had been more vigilant this might not have happened. But destiny says it's time we can't prevent.


"Where's Ivanka's son?" kanaya asks Ryan about his whereabouts.


"He was with Dio, I told Dio to come home early today for fear that they might experience something like this. Attacked" Adrian worried about something like this before. So he was more wary first.


"But it's much riskier if they know Dio's house, maybe they'll go there" Kanaya is worried, especially Ades is also there Adrian's decision is not the best for Ryan's safety. He's very worried about them now.


"You don't worry, I've already ordered some men to guard and supervise Dio's residence" Adrian can read the panic seen from his wife's face. She looks so cute when she panics. It was rare for him to see Kanaya's expression which he thought was so riveting that if he was panicking, his heart became racing. It was as if he had fallen in love with Kanaya for the umpteenth time.


"We'll take care of Ivanka's body in my house, I'll prepare everything. Try talking to Ades and Dio to drive Ryan" Adrian peeked at Kanaya's forehead and Kanaya nodded her head. He could not imagine the sad reaction of Ryan losing his mother. Kanaya really can't imagine it. Still remembered clearly the sad faces of his son when he lost his father first.


Kanaya exhaled so heavily, a feeling of guilt and sadness also graced her heart at this moment. How will he explain this to Ades? Especially to explain to Ryan. Kanaya took her cell phone from inside the brown tote bag she was carrying. Kanaya is shocked to see five missed calls from Ades. Now the feeling of worry is whack. She's afraid of Ades why-why. Kanaya's first call was picked up by Ades.


"Ades are you all right? You're not being attacked?" some questions that were immediately thrown by Kanaya made Ades who heard him feel confused.


"What does Kanaya mean? I'm fine" Ades replied in a confused tone.


"Thank God, I'm afraid that you were attacked by the people who attacked Ivanka earlier".


"I'm anxious to see so many calls from you? What's wrong?" so panicked Kanaya immediately gave a lot of questions to Ades.


"Oh yeah, I forgot. You're the same Dio here and bring Ryan. Ryan had to see his mother one last time" Kanaya said in a quivering tone at her last word.


Ades was a little surprised, but he did not really understand what Kanaya meant.


"Ivanka is dead Des. He died saving me" broke Kanaya's tears at the ongoing voice call with Ades. Ades was shocked and stunned after hearing that. As if struck by lightning he was unable to speak anymore. Kanaya continued to cry.


Dio looked at Ades's paled face in surprise, his wife's expression as if it showed that he was not okay. He knew Ades was angry at Ryan's arrival. But he did not want to offend and ignite Ades' emotions. Moreover, his condition was currently pregnant, Dio was trying to make him unencumbered with his thoughts.


"Why baby?" dio asked who was accompanying Ryan to play. Although he was a child, he understood that Ades did not like his presence, but he did not care what was important to him along with his father. The man she saw was on her mother's cell phone, which she believed was her father.


Ades can't say it, let alone see Ryan's small eyes clashing against him. The innocent look of an innocent child. Without him noticing the clear circles just flowing down his cheeks. As Ades walks towards Ryan, Dio tries to call Ades and wants to resuscitate him. Ades did not reply, being called by Dio repeatedly. Ades immediately hugged Ryan and cried in his small body. Now he is crying and crying very hard. Ades feels guilty about Ryan for thinking nothing about his presence here. He thinks Ryan was deliberately tucked in here to ruin his household, he's been accusing Adrian of being a no-no.


The little hand just patted the back of Ades' body, Ryan who did not know anything just thought Ades hugged him just plain. Without understanding the meaning of Ades' embrace, but he felt the warmth he used to get from his mother. A hug that always makes him feel calm and happy. He thought that if he had complete parents, like Ades and Dio, he would be very happy. But just having her mother is happy enough. Although still a child, but Ryan's thinking is much more mature. Maybe because he only lived together with his mother. So self-reliance is already formed from little Ryan.


"We're ready, we'll see your mama" said Ades rubbed a soft Ryan face that was exactly with Dio's face.


Ades stepped into his room. Like lifeless, that's what Ades is now. Until the end, he kept a bad mind towards Ivanka and accused Adrian of mischief. One thought that Kanaya was selfish, even though she realized Kanaya always sacrificed for her sake. Though he was not his biological brother, but Ades realized that he had always been selfish to Kanaya all this time. Dio follows Ades into the Room, worried about his wife's condition.


"Why you, baby?" dio who approached Ades sat on the side of the bed. The eyes looked so good, Dio embraces the body of Ades trying to calm himself.


"Ivanka mas, Ivanka's dead".


"Ryan's mother died, and I feel guilty for thinking badly about her. I've wrongly accused Adrian and Kanaya's sister who is not" now Ades crying in the arms of her husband. Dio just froze unmoved, surprised for sure. At least Ades now no longer feel jealous or worried he will be eliminated because of Ivanka.


Despite hearing Ivanka die Dio did not feel sad, nor happy. Indeed between him and Ivanka has no emotional feelings. Just as equally heartbroken and wanting to treat each other with the one night incident. But unexpectedly, from that incident left a memory. Ryan, he's a memory of Dio and Ivanka.
