".. When did you start standing there?!"

"Since an hour ago, maybe." Lewis answered so calmly.

Deva and also Vina are as red as tomatoes now. How could not? They must have been ashamed to be Lewis' object all the time.

Lewis closed his eyes, "Ahem... Young master –"

Deva cutting off Lewis' remarks,"Don't say anything yet!" He said by massaging his temples, he probably feels dizzy right now.

Vina holding Deva's forehead, "Dev? Are you all right?" Asked Vina with worried tone.

Deva did not answer, his vision blurred up to obscur He fell unconscious. Lewis who saw this happening quickly took Deva into his arms to the nearest hospital.

Vina shuts her mouth in disbelief, she feels so guilty this time. Vina immediately called her house servants to say good-bye and then hurried after lewis into Deva's car.

Vina held Deva's body in the back seat and asked Lewis, "Is Deva going to be okay?" Said Vina with great anxiety.

Lewis drove up and answered Vina's question without looking back, "Young Master will be fine, calm down. He had only a short period of mental breakdown, and he probably had to be sedated by his regular doctor later. For now, let's give him first aid from other doctors first." Lewis said broadly and easily understood by Vina. Vina nodded her head in the sign she understood.

'Maybe it's my fault that he so rudely asked Deva to tell him all his bitter past.' Says Vina in her heart.

Lewis saw Vina's look on the windshield, "It's not your fault."

Vina awoke from his reverie, able only to reply to Lewis' words with a forced smile.

'it's my fault' Vina said in her heart again.

...

25 minutes later...

Unconscious Deva had lain weakly on a hospital bed, the ivs had decorated every skin on her body. What a pity. Vina, who had been watching Deva from the other side of the room, could not help but see that she had to be hospitalized for her actions. Lewis sits right behind Vina, he looks at Vina with a little smile.

Lewis thought back on Vina's words in his driveway, 'The same fate as Mrs. Reva? Short notice? What was all that talk about?'lewis thought in his heart.

He took the initiative to sit her down and talk to her, but he ignored her. He saw Vina close his eyes, he was reading a prayer to Deva. Lewis didn't want to interrupt Vina's prayer time, so he sat back on the waiting chair in the hall.

A doctor came out of Deva room and Vina also go to Deva's room without asking.

Grebb~

Lewis pulled Vina's hand to hear the doctor's explanation first. Vina complied and he turned his gaze to the doctor who was treating Deva earlier.

Lewis clears his throat and then begins his question session, "Is the young master all right?"

"Of course, of course, Deva had only a slight trauma that had a shock effect on some of her brain nerves." The doctor answered with a smile at the end of his sentence.

"Is it dangerous??" Ask Vina out of patience.

"Of course it's not dangerous, Miss."

"Thanks god.."

The doctor closed the door of Deva's room and said, "For a moment, Deva must rest undisturbed. For two days he shall not be disturbed unless his mental state improves." The doctor said by warning Vina that she looked like she wanted to hurry to meet Deva.

"Then I'll excuse myself."

Lewis nodded his head, "Well, thank you for taking care of Young Master."

After the doctor left, Lewis invited Vina to sit down and chat with him. Vina lowered her head and grasped the end of the dress she was wearing.

Lewis only chuckled at Vina's concern for his master and said, "You don't need to worry." Lewis said to cheer Vina up a little.

Vina answered Lewis with her Shouting: "No! This is all my fault! I can't calm down earthling!" Yelled Vina with her whole face covered.

Lewis was a little surprised but he covered his surprise. He stroked Vina's head so gently, "It's not your fault and it's not his fault too. The Young Master only wants to share his past with someone and turns out it's you. Miss Vina..." Lewis hangs up his sentence, he's waiting for Vina to respond to his call.

Vina raised her head and raised her eyebrows which means, 'What is it, Sir?'

Lewis smiles for a moment and continues his sentence, "What is the same fate as Mrs. Reva? Also the moment you were referring to in your yard earlier?" Lewis said without a word.

"Are you hear me, Sir?" Ask Vina didn't believe that.

"Of course I know that. I told you at the lady's house, that I overheard the young lady and the young master talking from the very beginning." Lewis answered with his innocent smile.

Vina sighs rudely, "Since you have heard it how can I lie anymore?.." Said Vina with a weakened voice.

"So.. The same fate as Mrs. Reva is about my cancer. I was diagnosed with skin cancer that's about to reach its final level and.."

"And.. ?" Asked Lewis.

"...And to live for a moment is about the rest of my life in this world." Vina answered by curbing her gaze.

Lewis doesn't believe what Vina's going through right now. Lewis was silent, he didn't have the courage to mention any more diseases that Vina was suffering from.

Vina laughed insipid, "Maybe that's what's best for me. The reason why I've been dating Dev is that I've been in middle school. I kept an eye on him, I never cared if I saw him dating a different woman every day. I was always the first to see his every move as well as his indiscretions. I was always the first woman to feel sorry for him when he was punished by his father in the backyard of the school. I was always the first woman to see her in every single day. Being her date for freshman year was my dream all along, maybe this is my last wish before I truly leave this world forever." Said vina with a quivering voice as a result of stifling her cries.

Lewis doesn't cut Vina any more, he feels sorry for Vina right now.

'The little strong miss' He said in his heart.

Vina wiped away her tears and then laughed uncontrollably, ".. H-haha, i re-really so cute. Date Dev, and yet I ruined this rare moment.."

Lewis shook his head, "Miss no doubt, I understand miss Vina's present circumstances. You are a strong woman and the young master is a man who is still learning to strengthen himself, you are so fit, perhaps only destiny has not yet been approved by God. The Lord brought madam to the young Lord is proof that he wants to see you get happiness even if it is very short." Said Lewis by wiping Vina's hand.

"R-really, Sir?"

Lewis nodded, "Ahem! I'll go to the restroom first. I hope miss will wait here for a little while longer." Said Lewis on Vina.

"Eeh? Bu— "

Lewis immediately left Vina alone without a word.

"Hah~ by the way.. How do I get home?"

"Want to go home, Miss?"

"Vino?"
