How come a little girl can be so string to accept that. Ash kneel down. Her eyes keep pouring like shower. She can't accept that, the whole family just gone and she doesn't know that ? That old man feel pity for her. He suggested that she can stay with him. Ash refused. She still can't accept that. That night, she's alone in that empty and old house. After all, that her home.

In the morning, the old man come to visit her with his son. Ash seems doing alright and always keep smiling to them. She treats the guest nicely like there's nothing happened yesterday. The real reason he some today was to tell the whole story about what happened to her family. He said, '' Actually, your family gone just a week ago. I tell to your aunt, but its seems like she doesn't want to make you worried and decided not to tell you. There's a gang that always make us pay every week. Your father doesn't have so much money so they abuse him. We can't do anything because of we get involved, we also become like your father. The gang give warning to your father to paid triplets the other week. As usual, he can't pay them. So they decided to kill him, but your mother sacrifice herself and get killed first. You father stun there and can't accept that your mother gone. So your father make ambush to attack the gang. Unfortunately, they have a weapon. Your father also gone at that time. At that time, your brother doesn't back from school yet, so he save. When he arrived home, he hold grudges at the gang and he make the false decision. I just to old to grab him, so he escape and went to the gang safe house. He come back in the worse condition and we can't fine his pulse. That's how your family dies. I'm so sorry that I doesn't have courage to prevent that happened. I'm such a sucks friend. "

After heard what happened to her family, Ash remain calm and replied, " It's fine. They're gone, there's nothing that we can do now. ". With her smile, that old man believe that she's doing alright, but for his son, he find something in her eyes that the others can't see. After a moment they chatting, the old man excuse to go home. Then, they walk home and leave Ash alone again.

She closed the door and stand behind the door for quite long time. All she can think were, why her aunt hate her so much and she need to take revenge to the gang no matter what. Actually, of she want to ambush the safe house at that time, she can do it because she learned materials art and her combat experience were high. She remain clam and suddenly the door being knocked like there's no tomorrow.

She opened the door and suddenly she saw the old man son stood in front of her. " What do you want ? " she remain calm. Without any words, he just sat at the couch. Ash confused. She sat beside him and ask him again, " Are you need my help? ". " Yes, but first, my name Amy, you can called me Mie. Actually, I need you to be honest with me..." he can't finish his sentence and Ash said, " Why should I be honest to you ? We're barely know each other, we just meet... " Ash can't finish her sentence, and suddenly Mie hugged her for no reason.

She's shocked yet she can feel the warmth from his body. She can't hold it anymore, so she just fall asleep without any thoughts. Mie can feel that the body become heavier that means, she fall asleep. Mie hold her in his arms and let her sleep.

When she woke up, she realized that she in Mie arms and Mie still asleep. Ash decided to escape but she fails. She just wait Mie to wake up. In his arms, she can feel his warmth and she enjoyed his heart sounds. " Dudup dudup dudup dudup". After a while, Mie woke up and said " Hey I didn't expect that you fall asleep instead of crying. " He's chuckled.
