Herkel was about to enter the room when the sound of a pot falling from the kitchen was heard. Suddenly he snorted annoyedly and then walked straight to the kitchen.
Herkel almost wanted to throw herself into the pool when she realized that the one in the kitchen was Eirene.
"Lo what?", Herkel stared lazily at Eirene who seemed to be still busy with her cooking.
"Cooking, according to Lo? I can't possibly wash it in the kitchen", Eirene said while still focusing on her cooking.
"Gue knew Lo cooked, and there was an aunt, why did Lo cook everything", Herkel picked up the dropped pot, then placed it on the kitchen table.
"Gue was self-aware, let me help you out here.", Eirene turned and stared fixedly at Herkel.
"Good dong, ok, all you guys wash in my clothes.", Herkel said flat without sin.
"Heh, I've been wanting to help you a little, but I'm not Lo's maid huh. I'm G.A. and if I want to make a barbeque Lo now.", Eirene walked slowly approaching Herkel who was still staring at her lazily.
"Casual, woy. You said you wanted to help, if you did, not half dong, all of you."
"Gue has tried sincerely to help auntie, and fortunately yes, I do this for aunt instead of for Lo.", Eirene tried to hold back her wrath in a threatening smile.
"Yaudah, it's too bad tuh dirty clothes already there glued to me in a clean and neat condition, period.", Herkel turned and walked casually leaving Eirene who was busy cursing in her heart.

"Fi, from now on the journey to Sharing La will not be easy", Asklepius said while leaning his body and sitting under a large tree.
Asklepius and Philotes did choose to walk normally, like humans. Because light, clinging, or using magical powers will only make their existence known, and may also be threatened.
"Yes, I know, may I tell you something", Philotes sat down next to Asklepius and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a scratch similar to a sword stroke.
Asklepius' eyes widened at once to see it, "This wound..... What lo?"
"Yesterday night, I was sure neither Lo nor Eirene would have noticed that I was hurt", Filotes stared at the scratches in his hand and smiled faintly.
"When I and Eirene took Dike to headquarters, I told you I was thinking again. And he doesn't seem to know what I really think, Dike's attacker is still in that place. He made his attack when I was about to fly, and here's the result."
"And why did you not speak to Eirene from the beginning?", Asklepius stared in disbelief at the scratches in Philotes' hands.
"Will not, he was quite worried about Dike, not to be aggravated by my situation. I know I myself need the same medicine that Dike needs, but once I get to Sharing La, I'm sure everything will be fine."
"Fi, Lo's condition is worse than Eirene tau no heck, Lo's wound can kill Lo whenever Lo runs out of power that suppresses the poison is not spread.", Asklepius shook his head and grabbed Philotes' hand.
"Somewhere very Lo to Eirene.", the hand of Asklepius suddenly issued an emerald green light when touching the wound of Philotes. Yep, that's the power of Asklepius to simply relieve pain or injury.
"Gue.... I don't know, I like him" Filotes smiled sincerely at Eirene.
Asklepius did not answer only his mind answered,
Hopefully your feelings won't hurt Lo.
"Jude, I'm tired, I want to sleep here, the journey is still far away.", Philotes leaned his body on a tree, then slowly fell asleep, leaving Asclepius still busy treating Philotes' wounds.
"Hmmm, ok.", muttered Asklepius.
Asclepius rests Philotes' head on his shoulder. He felt obligated as a brother to Philotes. If you look again, he is also a few years older than Philotes.
Asklepius was silent and looked at Philotes who was still asleep. It was only a few minutes until he saw a little girl running across from him.
Asclepius did not want to disturb Philotes' sleep, he leaned Philotes back on the tree. Then, he curiously followed the little girl.
Asklepius found the little girl sitting and crying, and he came to her.
"Why are you crying?", asked Ask Asklepius gently.
"I looked for my mama", the girl turned to Asklepius.
"Where is your mom? Brother help you find out?", Asklepius tried to calm the girl down.
"Yes, thank you sister", the little girl wiped her tears and then smiled sweetly. The smile that made Asklepius feel an awkward taste, as if he had encountered the same distinctive smile.
"Oh yeah, what's your name?", Asklepius sat next to the girl.
"Maura, sis.", he said.
"Good name, let's help your sister find your mother", Asklepius and the little girl stood up, then went to look for the girl's mother.

"Hoy woke up, it's still daytime, you're asleep" Eirene shouted right beside Herkel's ear.
Irene had just finished cooking and decided to go to Herkel's room to get Herkel's dirty clothes to wash. Eirene was really upset when she went into Herkel's room and found him asleep. Plus some jackets, t-shirts, and shoes were scattered in his room.
Eirene hated everything that was dirty, she would be very fiery when she saw something dirty. Therefore he was ready to pull both of Herkel's ears and scold her mercilessly.
"What?", Herkel immediately shouted while sitting down. His eyes widened when he realized Irene was right next to him.
"Kalem aja dong, I do not budeg.", snapped Herkel on Eirene who was still burning fire.
"Gue would be calm if I didn't think this was the way" Eirene snorted in annoyance.
"What a belief....... Uh, wait, I don't want you in my room. So out Lo now", Herkel yelled while pointing towards the door of her room.
"So, play ngusir ngusir aja, mending now Lo finish the room Lo, then I'll come out."
"How can I not?"
"Yaudah, I'm waiting for Lo Sampek malem here."
"Lo's out now, and inget, this is my room, I don't need permission to make the room. Want this room like a barn too, stupid very.", Herkel get out of bed.
Eirene who saw Herkel move immediately pulled Herkel's ears as hard as she could. Herkel lost her balance and fell on Eirene's lap a second time.
"Heh, what the hell is Lo. Mode yes.", Herkel immediately sat down after a moment of meeting Eirene.
"Mode..., Ngaca dong Lo, the glass in Lo's room is less large. I'm not going to make a modusin Lo."
"Ok, I noted the word Lo, watch out for Lo ater that kecantol amu."
"Well, most of all Lo is hooked on me. I thought it was an angel from heaven", Eirene moved on and picked up one of Herkel's jackets on the floor.
"The angel came down from the angkot was just there. Dah ah, don't touch my stuff.", Herkel immediately approached Eirene and grabbed the jacket in her hand.
"So I don't touch Lo's stuff, and I want to wash how?"
"Glove packer, and oh yeah, the washing machine again broke down. So Lo washed the manual.", Herkel tidied up his scattered goods, while Eirene stood glued while gnawing in disbelief.
"What, Lo's crazy huh. Where's the holiest guy wearing gloves. And again, I have to wash that pile of dirty clothes so much by manual means..... Ogah I.", Tukas Eirene.
"Oh, jaudah I will generalize to the whole world if Lo same tenen Lo is not human. I'll tell you about your headquarters, let it be raided."
"Lo Bavel yes, long time I was bullied living here. This is also not because Dike has not realized, I will not feel at home living here."
"Kecoak... ", peek Eirene when she saw a cockroach coming out from under Herkel's carpet.
Eirene jumped on the bed just like that. While Herkel can only gap to witness the incident.
"Hoy, get down Lo. I thought Lo was a G. A. and you shouldn't be afraid of cockroaches" Herkel threw one of her jackets at Eirene.
"Gue is not afraid. Just surprised. And don't play throw that jacket, ok.", Eirene calmed back down and got off the bed.
"Shocked to play jump on people's mattresses. That's what it's called fear."
Herkel was made to disbelieve hearing Eirene say, "Ha, what? You afraid of snails?"
"Gue was also not afraid, just amused", Eirene said embarrassedly.
"The essence is fear. Funny thing lo, I guess G.A. it's mostly ice-cold and flat. But, you guys can be silly as well", Herkel chuckled while looking at Eirene.
"Silly, I'm used to it" Eirene said wrongly.
"That's not ridiculous, Cute Bear" Herkel laughed as she patted Eirene's head.
Irene couldn't figure out what Herkel was doing "Cute Bear?"
"Yes, Lo is like a bear that can be ferocious and can also be funny", Herkel stepped up to take a picture frame on the nightstand.
Eirene just stared silently, until Herkel showed a photo of the woman with a warm smile hugging Herkel. The woman was beautiful coupled with Herkel who looked happy in her arms.
"He's my mother. And Lo know, the shirt that Lo is wearing now is her shirt. And come to think of it, Lo is just as beautiful as she is."
Eirene looked in disbelief, the woman indeed had a facial line similar to her, a smile that felt familiar to Eirene. Eirene felt it was not her first time seeing the woman. He felt like he had met her, but I don't know, I don't know, Irene remembers anything.
"Lo doesn't believe me, but honestly from the first time I met Lo. Lo always ngingetin me on the figure of my mother.", Herkel put the picture frame back and then stand right in front of Eirene.
"Gue never had a mother, the person who had always been by my side was a father figure" Eirene said grimly.
"Oh, sorry I didn't mean. Yaudah if it's Lo's job I lighten up, wrap the dirty clothes and now we go to the laundry."
"We?"
"Yes, 10 minutes left Lo didn't come down. Gwe told Lo to wash the clothes manually.", Herkel took the car keys on the nightstand and pulled the jacket in Eirene's hand. Without waiting for Eirene to answer, she immediately walked out of the room and headed for the living room.
"Ten minutes, rowdy, I have to hurry up", Eirene immediately tidied up the dirty clothes and approached Herkel in the guest room.
"On time too, Lo. Yaudah Lo take it to the trunk of the car." Herkel said as soon as Irene came to her face.
"Wait, Lo is a guy. Lo dong should have brought it, not me. Where the weight is again this.", Eirene did not accept with Herkel's treatment.
"But Lo G.A., and I'm human. You should be stronger than me."
"G.A. the hell G.A. but I also keep girls, so pricein dong. Not feeling very heartless Lo.", Eirene threw a dirty package at Herkel just like that.
"Yaudah, fine ok. I'm taking it to the trunk. But Lo has to pay the fine instead."
"What does it mean to change?"
"Yep, it's Lo's job and I'm working on it. So instead, Lo has to leave my office tonight."
"Hmmm, it's not hard. Yaudah, I helped her out tonight".", Irene just walked ahead of Herkel.
"Liat aja ntar.", Herkel followed Eirene's steps.
***
Asklepius followed the little girl's steps. The two stopped when they found a woman turning her back on the two. The woman turned her body to face Asklepius.
Asklepius is silent when he realizes that the woman is Ryfa, the woman he once saved. Asklepius still vividly remembered the events of that day.
At that time Asklepius had just returned home from taking medicine with Paeon. He found a beautiful and sweet little girl lying unconscious. In his stomach was an arrow.
That girl is Ryfa. Ryfa is playing when a G.A. hunter thinks Ryfa is the son of one of the G.A.s and then shoots him. He could only moan while feeling the blood start to drain away.
Without a second thought Asklepius took off the jacket he wore to cover Ryfa, then carried his body to be treated.
7 Days Asklepius stays to look after Ryfa, while Paeon is asked to immediately bring home his medicine. During those 7 days Asklepius understood that Ryfa was a jolly girl. He's human, Argh. Errata, he's half human because he's the son of a G. A. with a human.
The first time Ryfa started to get out of bed, the word she said was "Thank you, thank you for crying for me... Big brother didn't even stop watching until I regained consciousness and recovered."
"Oh yeah? Would you like it if I cried for you?"
"Not really, I live here, while mom and dad just leave me. They're busy with their own business, they'll just be home for a little while and then leave again."
"Are you lonely?"
"Always, I don't have any brothers. And I always play by myself. And to be honest, you're the first person I've met."
"First person? So you've never met anyone but your parents?"
"Yes, brother."
7 Days of Asklepius added 1 month to accompany the girl to play, learn to cook, and do many things. Until one day, the girl said, "Sister, go home. Looks like brother's place isn't here. There must be a lot of people waiting for you."
"If you go home, you'll be lonely again, and it looks like you..."
"I know I'm lonely, brother. But the other brother's friend also needs a sister."
"Okay, brother's home. Keep the jacket is good. And never be sad again."
"Sister, can I have a message."
"Message what?"
"Don't forget me. Big brother's the best person I've ever known. Thank you for allowing my sister's word to be used to call you. I love you, feet."
"Surely, remember the words I used to say, then every time you mentioned them you would feel like I was by your side."
And Asklepius went away leaving the girl teary-eyed about his jacket.
"There for you", the girl named Ryfa said as she stared fixedly at Asklepius.
"Mama.", cried the little girl beside Asklepius who then ran to embrace Ryfa.
"Ma-lt.... Your ryfa?", Asklepius was still nailed to his feet.
"Sister, long time no see. It's been 15 years since I met you. She's a Diva, my daughter."
"How can you.., are you married."
"The day you came home. At that time, I was furious because I realized that someone else knew where I was. I was kicked out of the house. And I met a simple human family. I lived there for years, and then I married the son of that family."
"And can you explain, why the jacket I gave you back then are you wearing now?"
"Since that day, I've been looking for you. I want to go home. I want to stay with you. But in vain, I don't even know your whereabouts. And only this jacket can make me remember that I still have a sister."
"I'm sorry, I should have visited you more often. Ii'm sorry. Forgive me for accidentally forgetting you from my life", Asklepius walked over and hugged Ryfa tightly.
Ryfa hugged Asklepius tightly, and cried, "You're home, brother. You've finally come."
"May I meet your new family? Ryfa", Asklepius let go of his embrace as well as Ryfa.
"Of course, but it seems that your younger brother wants to come too", Ryfa points to Philotes carrying a backpack belonging to Asklepius and his own.
"His brother, I?", Filotes stared in surprise at Ryfa.
"Oh, you're awake. Sorry if I left Lo earlier.", Asklepius scratched his nape misbehaved.
"Yes, I know. But you don't completely ignore me. Nih, Lo's backpack is left behind.", Filotes throws one of his backpacks at Asklepius.
Asklepius caught it easily, "Thanks."
