At first, Alen was very confident that Ren would help her get out of here. Instead, he ended up under the bed. Just moments ago, Ren brought her in through the bedroom window.
Alen plucked his head out of the pool and looked at ren at the window to monitor the situation. "Excuse me, but why did you make me hide here instead?" Alen asked a little doubt.
"There are still so many people outside. I can't hide you with no wings on your back." Ren explained in a quiet voice. Alen simply resigned to it and went back under the bed.
"Nobi!" Outside voices reached the room. Ren rushed out and slammed the door on his heels. A few seconds later, he heard a commotion. Intrigued, Alen decided to leave the pool. She peeped with the door ajar.
"Take it easy, Mauren. Sit down and explain slowly," Nobi tried to pull Mauren's hand to sit down. That's definitely an unpleasant response.
"No! I'm done with the small talk. That girl has gone too far! He told my son to steal this expensive book that I bought with my money!" Screamed Mauren. All ren could do was bow his head behind him.
Ozi didn't understand the reason his father continued to fire when there was a problem with ren and uncle Nobi. But it was not a problem that had to be solved with explosive rage. "Dad, why do you keep blaming ren?" Blurted in frustration.
"Shut up! It's me and them!" Flattened Mauren.
"Sorry, Mauren. I will teach ren to be a better person," blurted out as quickly as possible.
"What nonsense is that? All you've done is waste your precious time taking care of that child!" cross-examine Mauren, then pause for a moment to breathe. "Look at you now! You've become poor paying for the child's treatment!"
Ren snapped. Every sentence Ozi's father uttered pierced through his heart. Not only that, his ears hurt to the point that he wanted something to rub off on. So, no need to hear any other words that might be even more painful. However, he could not have done so because he now faced a stake leader.
"That ... Suffocating," she muttered to the whole world. He also saw how ren's once-bright wings, now dimming slowly.
"Enough!" Shouted nobi at the same time as the fist that landed on mauren's face. Mauren looked at him with a surprised face. "You've insulted me enough, brother! When you start insulting Ren, I won't stand by." It went on in a louder voice.
Ozi was starting to worry about the fight. "Dad, don't make a scene like this," he asked while pulling the hand of his father.
"You drive out your own brother? "It was Mauren who refused to give up.
"What kind of brother insults his own brother?" said Nobi to his cousin.
Mauren spit all over the place. After that, he did what Ozi asked him to do. Ozi quickly got him out of the house. Even nobi can breathe a sigh of relief now. It's tiring to have to face someone like Mauren.
Nobi scrambles her frustrating hair. He's never been so grumpy. It consumes his energy very much as one should take up energy when it is quiet and quiet alone. Meanwhile, he sees the ren unmoved on her stand. His empty gaze gazed forward.
"Ren, sorry. You got to hear it from her mouth. Don't take it to heart, huh?" Nobi said very carefully.
"Uncle, didn't he say the truth?" Ask ren in a quiet tone without looking at her uncle.
Nobi looked puzzled. "A - what?"
"I don't have to deny his speech just because I don't want to get hurt," ren says. She turned immediately and headed for her room with a swift pace. Immediately, she closed the door before nobi could make it in too.
"Ren! Don't you have to hear it from my point of view? Come on out! Let's talk about it, so you don't misunderstand!"
"What misunderstanding?" Ren said with resignation.
Alen stood beside himself feeling confused as to what to act. His hands were already outstretched to tap ren on the shoulder, but the thought was shattered when ren suddenly looked at him. "Ummm, are you okay?" Her immediate question as she lowered her hand. In his heart, he became self-defeating because he asked an absurd question.
"Nothing's okay with his pride being destroyed," he said with a sidelong smile. Then, she remembered her purpose in bringing Alen here. "Aren't you leaving?"
Alen paused to think. Afterward, he looked out of the window and the sky was already dark. "I have to go," he said, gazing at Ren. Ren smiled warmly as he nodded. Afterward, he immediately jumped from the window upon hearing the loud knock on the door.

"Uncle, where's ren?" Ozi asked anxiously. He saw a messy nobi in ren's room. Nobi sat on the floor leaning against the door. A tray of food and drink was still standing beside him.
"Ozi! Thank god you're here! Tell ren to come out!" The nobi was so agitated.
"Uncle, what happened? The last few days, I didn't see her at the academy," worried Ozi.
Nobi immediately lifted the tray from the tray, then handed it to the Ozi. "She hasn't left the room once. She won't even eat or drink. I'm worried she's sick if she keeps going like this," she said.
Ozi took the tray, then he knocked on Ren's room. "Ren! It's me ... Ozi! Go outside! How long are you going to stay in your room? "Call a half Ozi Shouting. Still, no answer.
"Ren, are you still angry? If you're really mad at me, at least yell at me!" Ozi shouted once more. Nobi nearly gave up on her breath.
"Ozi, I think she's angry with me. She's getting sensitive to small things lately. Including, about herself, who cannot fly," notes nobi with a worried frown.
"Uncle, don't worry. I'll try to persuade her again."
Before Ozi knocked again, it was opened by the owner. He was surprised by a door that suddenly opened. What made him even more surprised, though, was ren's seemingly different appearance. Ren put on her face at some point, especially the part of the eye that looked sharper than before. Her eyelashes are very dainty too. It really made Ozi see the girl with her mouth half-open.
"Uh, Ozi, uncle! Good morning!" Blurted brightly. She wagged her long hair, then waved at the two men in front of her.
