"What's all the fuss about? Aleysa, Emily. What's all this?"
"This is Hans. Emily made me fall like this on purpose."
"No, Hans. It's a lie. I don't know if it was Aleysa who fell."
"Well, it's stopped. It's noisy, you know. Disturbing my work. Aleysa, you better go home now. And Emily, you come into my room."
"Okay Sir."
Emily felt that she had won from Aleysa because she was told to go into Hans office while Hans sent Aleysa home. Emily gave her worldly smile to Aleysa. Emily and Hans also went straight into the study without paying attention to Aleysa. Aleysa could only be silent and immediately left Hans office.
"How could Hans defend Emily more than me. But I am also self-aware because only Emily is the one Hans loves. Not me. Then I'd better go home," Aleysa said in her heart and without realizing it she shed tears over her cheeks. Aleysa immediately wiped her tears and left Hans office by taxi while harboring feelings of disappointment with Hans.

On the way Aleysa kept daydreaming. But Aleysa still wanted to stop at one of the Supermarkets to buy necessities in the kitchen. Because the vegetables, meat and everything else was gone. After the deer came out of the Supermarket, Aleysa was about to wait for the taxi she had ordered. But Aleysa was still daydreaming. Until finally Aleysa was almost hit by a car. Luckily there was someone who saved her right away.
"Aleysa watch out," shouted the man. Now Aleysa and the people who saved her fell to the side of the road. Aleysa and that person only had minor injuries.
"Are you okay?" Ershad asked.
Yes, the one who saved Aleysa this time was Ershad. Aleysa did not expect that the person who saved her this time was the person who had wanted to take her bag.
"No, I'm okay. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Aleysa. What are you thinking about that you don't realize there's a car passing by like that?"
"No. I don't think anything of it."
"Well then, let me take you home, okay? I don't want you to be on the road again."
"No need. I can do it myself. Thank you."
"But Aleysa. It's okay, I will just take you. Just take this as a thank you to you."
"I... Yes you can if you insist."
"Okay, come on. You want to go home right?"
"Yes, I want to go home."
Finally, Aleysa was escorted by Ershad to the house. Actually Aleysa felt bad if she went home with Ershad. Because she was afraid that Hans would find out that she was going home with another man. Although Aleysa also wasn't sure if Hans would scold her for this matter. Because all she knew Hans didn't love her at all. So Hans wouldn't be jealous of her.
After a few minutes of traveling, Aleysa finally arrived at Hans house. Ershad helped carry Aleysa's groceries to the house. Because Aleysa's leg was slightly injured. So just walking she seemed a little difficult. In the living room, Hans and Catline happened to be with her.
"Aleysa. Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" her Grandmother asked.
"Aleysa Sister. What's wrong with you? And why can you be with Ershad Brother?" asked Catline.
"You know the man? Who is he?" her Grandmother asked again.
"I... Yes Grandma. Meet, this is Ershad. He was the one I told about so he could work to take care of me. He's the one who helped me find Catline. And now he's the one who helped me because I almost got hit by a car, Grandma," explained Aleysa.
"What? You almost got hit by a car? How did you do that?"
"Are there any injuries? Which one are you? Let Catline treat it."
"Grandma, Catline. You two don't have to worry, okay. I'm fine. I just sprained my leg a little. Later on, the wound will heal immediately."
"That's fine then. Ershad, Grandma is very grateful to you because you have helped Grandma's Granddaughter-in-law. If it wasn't for you, Grandma wouldn't know how Aleysa is now."
"You're welcome, Grandma. I just happened to be at the scene."
"Well then, starting today, you work to take care of Aleysa. Grandma doesn't want to let her do anything else. Moreover, it seems like recently someone is deliberately trying to hurt Aleysa."
"Yes. I agree with Grandma," continued Catline.
"How is Ershad? You want it, don't you?" her Grandmother asked again.
"It's my pleasure, Grandma. It is my pleasure to work as a guard for Aleysa."
"Thank goodness for that. You can also stay in the back pavilion if you want. Now you can go home to prepare all your needs and come back tomorrow morning, okay?"
"I'm ready, Grandma. Then I will go home first, Grandma, Aleysa. Later if there's anything, just let me know."
"Definitely. Once again, thank you very much, Ershad," replied Aleysa.
"Yeah, you're welcome. Excuse me everyone."
Without Hans approval, Ershad was finally able to work as a guard for Aleysa. This time it was his Grandmother who brought Ershad to work. It is certain that no one will be able to interfere with all of Hans Grandmother's decisions.
"Well, Sis Aleysa, just stay quiet in the room, okay. Let's just cook dinner this time, Catline. Just treat your wounds. I can cook."
"Are you sure you can cook?" teased Aleysa.
"You can do it. Who was the older Sister, hehe."
"It's okay. Well then I will say goodbye to the room first, Grandma. I want to treat my wounds for a while."
"Yes, yes, you just treat your wound first. Oh, don't let your wound get worse."
"Yes Grandma."
Aleysa went into her room to treat her wound and also rested a bit. Because what had happened to her this time made Aleysa a little traumatized and scared. Even so, Aleysa still kept thinking about Hans feelings, which obviously Hans never thought about her feelings.
"Starting tomorrow Ershad can work as my guard with Grandma's permission. But does Hans agree with all of this? Yesterday, Hans said that he didn't agree that Ershad was my personal guard. What if he still doesn't agree? Poor Hans. His opinions are rare. once heard by people in this house. Including her own Grandmother, "thought Aleysa.

The day has changed. This morning feels so calm because there is no longing on the dining table. Hans and Aleysa looked calm even though Aleysa still had a lot of sadness because of what Hans had done to her all this time. When they were all having breakfast together, suddenly someone came to Hans house and approached all of them who were having breakfast together.
"Good morning everyone. Sorry I disturbed your breakfast," he said.
