"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.
"Eh Ershad. Finally you came too," replied his Grandmother.
"Who's this, Mom?" asked Hans's Mother.
"This is the one who wants to work as Aleysa's personal guard. It's a pity that Aleysa has almost had an accident twice and Ershad continues to help. So our Grandmother, if Aleysa really needs Ershad to look after her."
"What? So you still want to hire him for you? Didn't you hear what I said yesterday? I don't agree. Or maybe you want to hire him here because you want to be close to him. You like him. Is not it?" continued Hans.
Ershad, who actually recognized Hans, couldn't help but be silent. He didn't expect Hans to treat his own wife like that.
"It turns out that Hans is a very temperamental person. He doesn't have the slightest tenderness with his own wife. Why does Emily want to be with him? Or does Emily really need Hans only her money? That's why she doesn't care about all of Hans's attitude," thought Ershad inside his heart.
"Hans. You take care of what you say. Your wife is not what you think. If you don't want another man to take care of Aleysa, you as a husband should be able to take care of her well. But so far you have never been able to take care of her. Aleysa well, right? After all, it's Grandma who decides. Not Aleysa."
"Whatever. It's up to all of you. I've never been heard of for a long time. I'm going to the office. Excuse me."
Hans just left the table. He hadn't finished eating his breakfast, though. Aleysa who felt guilty immediately followed Hans footsteps.
"Grandma, Mom, everyone, I will excuse myself. I want to talk to Hans."
Aleysa continued to chase Hans until finally Hans footsteps stopped.
"Hans, wait. I want to talk to you about something," Aleysa shouted.
"What else do you want to talk about? There's nothing else you need to talk to me about."
"I'm sorry Hans. If you don't agree, I will talk to Grandma later so that Grandma will understand and Ershad won't be working here."
"Up to you."
Hans just got into his car without feeling the least bit guilty about what he had done to Aleysa. His own wife. Meanwhile, Aleysa could only cry over Hans attitude and departure.

After a few minutes of walking to his office, now Hans had arrived at the office. Arriving at his room, Hans was already greeted by Emily. His lover.
"Morning dear," said Emily. But Hans was silent. It was very clear that Hans was not in the mood this time from the look on his face.
"Why are you, dear? Why am I silent? Are you angry with me? What are you angry about? I should have known who was angry with you because you married another woman."
"No. I'm not angry with you. I'm still annoyed with Aleysa. How can she hire someone to be her personal guard. It's a man who doesn't know. What if it turns out that the man is a bad person?" explained Hans.
"What do you mean? Are you jealous of her?"
"No. I'm not jealous of her at all."
"Come on, Hans. From what you said earlier, it was clear that you were jealous of Aleysa. Or maybe you already have feelings for Aleysa?"
"No. Not at all. I just love you."
"Well then where's the evidence? Where's the evidence that you say you want to quickly divorce Aleysa and marry me?"
"Yeah, but it's not that easy honey."
"Just tell me you've started to love Aleysa."
Emily was angry with Hans. Emily was about to leave Hans but was immediately stopped by Hans.
"Wait. Okay, after office hours are over we will go to my house. I want to tell Grandma and Mommy everything that I only love you."
"You're serious?"
"Yes dear. I'm serious. I can not lie to you."
"Thank you dear."
"Yes dear."
Emily and Hans were hugging inside Hans room. Emily who kept pressing Hans left Hans with no other choice but this. Hans would talk to his Grandma and Mother if he only loved Emily and he couldn't love another woman. Including Aleysa.
*******
It was late afternoon but Aleysa didn't leave the house at all. Even though now there was Ershad accompanying her. Instead, Aleysa looked like she was avoiding Ershad. For example, when Aleysa had trouble pushing the things she was going to clean and Ershad wanted to help her, Aleysa simply refused.
"Let me help Aleysa," said Ershad.
"No need, thanks. I can do it myself. You'd better do something else. Or you can just go back to the pavilion. Because today I don't want to go anywhere.
Ershad felt that Aleysa's current attitude was really strange. Changed 360 degrees from before. Aleysa that Ershad knows.
"Why are you like this with me? You seem to be avoiding me, aren't you?" Ershad asked.
