"Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance."- Pythagoras
 ____________________________________________________
In Haru's room are Freya, Kean, Nicole, Carmen, Emma, ​​Tyrel, and Jayson. Ever since they found out the truth, Freya never leaves Haru's side. She is always next to Haru.
 
"It has been sixteen years since we took care of her and when she was nine years old, Emelyn died."
 Emma suddenly spoke to them in a quiet room, and she spoke while Haru was sleeping.
 
FLASHBACK
 
Emelyn was a housemaid in the Cortez family. Freya and Harold had an argument, and Freya left her husband's house and took her eldest son Kean with her to let Harold calm down first.
But in an unexpected happens Kristoffer entered their home. Harold's best friend and was here, mercilessly hurting Harold and forcing Harold to sign documents. Haru saw all what happened until Harold ordered his daughter and their housemaid, Emelyn, to come out of their house and find his wife outside the house. Emelyn immediately obeyed what Harold said. And they quickly left Harold inside the house, unable to fight back because he was weak from Kristoffer's beating and he has also had a feeling of serious illness. From Emelyn and Haru, they kept running until they heard a gunshot and something unexpected happened between them because Haru suddenly let go of Emelyn's hand and they parted ways. Haru kept running and didn't know where to go because Kristoffer's men were still chasing her and until Haru come out of the house, she didn't notice that a truck would meet her. She thought she would die that day, but immediately that Haru was pushed by Tyrel's mother and she hit a truck instead of Haru.
END OF FLASHBACK
Emma stopped talking and Jayson continued what Emma was talking about.
"Dad received a call from Uncle Harold, so Dad and I immediately went to your house, Aunt Freya, and it was here that we saw that uncle was full of blood. What you saw was that my dad was holding the gun. The truth is that it wasn't my dad who shot uncle Harold, my father wanted to shoot Kristotoffer, but the house exploded. It wasn't my dad who did it then. My dad wasn't an accomplice of Kristoffer. Because of Uncle Harold, my father also died! If he does not call my dad. My mom and my dad were still a lived, dad is also a victim. We went there to help uncle, but suddenly the house exploded and Kristoffer escaped. And I didn't do anything that day. I just watched that burning house as life engulfed our father."
Emma stroked Jayson's back because he couldn't stop the tears from coming from his eyes.
"So when I found out that Haru and Hailley were one, I wanted to kill her, but I couldn't because I was still her cousin."
 
"Mom and I followed my dad and Jayson because Mom was afraid of what might happen to them. But Mom saw Haru running to the road and she was very scared, so when Mom saw that there was a truck that would meet Haru, she immediately ran and she immediately pushed Haru away so she hit the truck. That day was the most painful thing that happened to me and to Jayson. That day was also the most difficult we experienced because we had no relatives to approach and ask for help because they all didn't listen and didn't believe our explanation. My eyes searched for Haru that day, but I just saw that a lady had pulled at her." Tyrel took a deep breath before continuing to speak.
 
"I tried to find Haru because she was the only one who could help us and she was the only one who could prove that our parents had done nothing wrong. But I couldn’t find Haru until a few years later, Nicole suddenly came up to me and told me about Haru. I kept secret everything I knew until destiny took the initiative to bring us closer because Haru checked up at the hospital where I worked, and here I found out that she had cancer. I found a way to help my cousin. Because my mom said before she was deprived of life, that I should not neglect my cousin because she is the only princess of the Cortez. But there’s no secret that isn’t revealed because Jayson finds out all about Haru."
 
There was a long silence in Haru's room until the two siblings both stood on the seat and left Haru's room together. When the siblings came out, they saw Arche standing on the side of Haru's room door, leaning against the wall.
"Why didn't you go inside? Haru didn't already know that you already knew about her illness." Arche looked up when he heard Jayson's voice, but he immediately returned the bow on his head. After a while, the door to Haru's room suddenly opened and Freya, Kean, Nicole, Jasper, Carmen, and Emma came out. They all looked at Arche, and Kean spoke.
 
"Come inside if you want to see her and touch her. She's still asleep. I know you miss my sister so much." Kean said, and he invited his mother and the others to follow him. Jasper tapped Arche on the shoulder before following Kean.
 
Thirty minutes ago, Arche was still standing in front of Haru's room. Until he slowly grabbed the doorknob and took a deep breath, and he opened the door of Haru's room and quietly entered it inside. He saw Haru lying sideways on the hospital bed, so he approached it and stroked Haru's hair.
"Forgive me because I was not by your side when you were fighting your illness alone and when you needed strength from me. Sorry, my love, if I don't know what's going on with you. I wish when I took you to the hospital, I should be asked the doctor what happened to you that day. I'm a fool! I'm stupid!" He momentarily stopped speaking and took a deep breath.
"I promise I won't leave your side. I will find a way to be with you for a long time." Arche's last said and he kissed Haru's head then he left the room. When Arche came out, Haru's eyes burst of the tears she had been holding back were dripping from her eyes. He heard everything Arche said to her because she was just pretending to be asleep when Arche came in.
Arche was walking out of the hospice but he was hit by a little girl, so he stopped walking and he saw that the child was finding something on the floor, using her hands, and the look was just straight. Arche took the stick used for the blind and he help to stand the girl and placed in her hand what the child had been looking for earlier.
"Thank you." Arche looked at the young girl and here he was surprised when he recognized it is his sister. Arche clean Callista's knees and he asked her.
 
"Where are you going? Why are you alone? Where's your mom?"Callista was about to speak, but suddenly someone grabbed Callista, and here Arche saw his mother with a worried face.
"I told you not to leave there. Are you hurt?"
"I'm sorry, mom, I wasn't hurt because someone helped me." Katelyn looked at Arche and she was surprised to see Arche, Arche just smiled at her.
"Mommy, the person who helped me is still there?" Katelyn didn't answer her daughter's question because Arche suddenly knelt down and held both Callista's shoulders.
"Next time you will listen to your mommy, kiddo."
"Yes, thank you for helping me."
Arche couldn't control his feelings because he suddenly hugged his sister which Callista was surprised.
"C-Callista, this is your brother, this is brother Arche." Arche couldn't stop crying while Katelyn averted her eyes from them.
"My older brother? M-my brother hates me. My brother doesn't like me."
"No, no, your brother isn't angry with you, I'm not angry with you, Callista.
Callista cried and shook her head repeatedly as Arche hugged her.
"My brother is angry with me. He is angry because I  ride in his car. He is angry with me because my dad and I took his mother."
Arche tightened his hug on Callista. And Katelyn is holding back her tears because of the meeting of her two children.
"Callista, I'm not angry with you. You must be the one to be angry with me because I took your simple pleasure." Arche said while his tears couldn't stop dripping, some passing patients and people visiting their families looked at them.
"My older brother is angry with me because if it wasn't for me and my father, my older brother wouldn't be angry with me. If we let mom stay with them, he wouldn’t be mad at me." Callista stuttered. Arche hugged his sister tighter.
"Callista, listen to me. This is your brother Arche. When the accident happened, I blamed myself too much. Because of me, you can't see anything. I will take it back from you, Callista. It's not you and your dad's fault." Arche kissed Callista's forehead, and he stood up and walked away while his head bowed. Callista was crying incessantly while Katelyn was just staring at her son walking away from them.
