Now Anna stared at the tightly shut door of her home—the towering whitewashed door before her. The two-story house wasn't too big but the atmosphere inside really felt crowded for Anna for many years.

The events that happened since he became the subject of a rampage on the basis of the death of his mother revolved inside Anna's head. The incident where Dad kept hitting him was like a chest-stifling tragedy.

He tried to take a deep breath, calming his feelings, strengthening his heart for a moment. After that, his bead turned his eyes towards the garage, there was already a black car owned by his father who often the man used to leave for the office.

As Anna enters first, Alice and Leon will wait outside. Both will see what kind of events that make the father so hearty to behave on his own daughter in front of Leon's eyes.

Leon's return home only Bi Rina knows. Currently Anna ventured to push the door that loomed high before her. He poked his head, it looked like the atmosphere of the house was so cow. Until the noise from the kitchen made Anna step so slowly.

"Auntie?" call Anna walking quickly towards Bi Rina who was crouching in the kitchen. His hands moved freely on the floor. Apparently the middle-aged woman was cleaning the glass shards there.

"Don't, Non, just leave Auntie alone" the woman told Anna as the girl touched a piece of glass on the floor.

"What's up, Bi? Why is Aunt crying?" he touched both of the woman's shoulders which were already shaking violently.

Aunt Rina's eyes were reddened. Maybe he had been crying for a long time like this. Bi Rina then shook her head slowly and after that sitting on the floor made Anna frown.

"What actually happened Bi? Are you angry again? Where's dad?" tanyanya back.

"Father is not only angry non, but you fired Bibi for not being becus keep non. Sorry Aunt. From tomorrow Aunty can no longer accompany non..."

"Dad fired Auntie?" Bi Rina nodded. "That's not going to happen Bi. Anna doesn't want Auntie to leave me. I promised Anna."

"Now Anna asked. What's the matter exactly?"

"Auntie doesn't know where you came from. He returned drunk and suddenly shouted at home calling out the name non. Because he hasn't been home since this afternoon, he's been angry and it's like this."

When Anna was about to help Bi Rina stand up, the lighting in the kitchen suddenly brightened and the girl turned to the light switch near the refrigerator.

Anna was shocked with bulging eyes staring at her father standing there with a flat face and eyes piercing towards him. His father's appearance was also messy with the two buttons of the blue shirt the man was wearing was already exposed.

"Anna ... fucking kid!!" ryan approached Anna. Ryan's big hand about to touch Anna stopped when Bi Rina protected her Anna.

"T-master forgive non Anna. Don't hurt him again, sir. I beg..."

"Dad.." he said. Ryan took a step closer and directly pushed Bi Rina to hit the refrigerator.

What had just happened made Anna panic and then stand up from her place. Ryan's face flushed. The man grabbed the glass bottle on the table and smashed it on the floor, leaving the shards strewn around Anna's feet.

The incident that just made Anna look at him blankly. Anna was used to her father's rude attitude, but not to her brother Leon who was already standing in the living room staring at everything with a flaming look.

Anna's back head hit the closet behind her. Ryan came forward and grabbed Anna's hair firmly.

"Yah!! Daddy, sick!!" anna's moaning as Ryan grabbed her hair so strongly.

Anna's head was forced to turn to face the closet and seconds later Ryan hit Anna's forehead into the closet firmly.

"Gram!!"

That fresh and warm blood flowed from the corner of his forehead. His tears were shed, not looking at the father but Leon who had clenched his hands at the end there. Even Alice herself hiding on the wide back Leon saw the situation so clearly before the two.

"Dad hates dissidents! You're a fucking kid! Where have you been since after school, huh? You always make me angry. Can't in one day you don't piss me off!"

"Dad said it over and over again. Don't leave the house without your permission! What prohibition you can't listen to..."

"Argh..." Ryan again landed Anna's head against the cupboard.

The sharp corner of the cupboard again hurt Anna's forehead. The girl was really like an inanimate object under Ryan's hand that was still touching Anna's head about to repeat it.

"Hit yeah! Hit Anna until you're satisfied!"

Ryan raised his hand high, but before the big palm touched his daughter's cheek, Leon held his father's hand. Ryan turned around and was surprised to see Leon standing in front of him.

His pair of eyes continued to stare at Leon. Until everything was real, the middle-aged man stood up again and drew closer to him. Seconds later Leon threw his hard fist towards the father's jaw, making Ryan immediately sprawled on the floor and glanced at Leon with an unexpected look that his own biological son hit him.

Three times a raw bogeman landed on Ryan's face nonstop. Leon was utterly dogged by brutally beating his own father.

"Leon thinks you're looking after Anna like you said before. Is this what you call protecting? Protecting by hurting Anna like an animal?!"

"Stop it, Leon, he's your father! What are you doing?"

Seeing everything with the naked eye, Anna trembled. His father's pieces of torture swirled in his head. Dean's shadow was in the memory of Anna's head spinning before her eyes. It's not real. Anna squeezed her hair tightly. Breath choked.

"Stop, Leon!!"

"Damn it!!" leon stood up from his father's body. Ryan was already lying on the floor with Leon's blood smearing the floor.

Alice held her arm back so as not to take any more action. The flaming eyes of Leon really frightened Anna. It's the first time he's seen Leon that angry.

"Damn it! You're a fucking man who doesn't know thank you! Dad should be ashamed. Injuring Anna won't get Mother back with us. Mother died not because of Anna, Father. Leon's been reminding me of this to you over and over again."

"Already Leon. You promised not to be rude," said Alice to calm Leon by gently stroking Leon's chest repeatedly.

"We're breakeven, Dad, but it's not over yet" he said, staring at Ryan with flaming eyes. Ryan who Leon had just hit was sitting limp on the floor while rubbing the corner of his bloody lips.

"This is what Leon got after coming back? To dare to hurt Anna like this means that you hurt me the same. Brother could have thrown me in jail if you wanted to," Leon said with sarcasm.

"Dad doesn't remember, Mommy told me not to hurt Anna, but where? Mother will be disappointed and hate the same father for breaking a promise."

"Dad can explain everything..."

Ryan tried to stand up and grabbed Leon's hand but Leon quickly brushed it off rudely. Suddenly Ryan was silent with reddened eyes that were already glazed over.

"There's nothing I can explain. Everything is clear. So as long as you're gone, you're like this to Anna. Uh yeah?!"

"If this continues, I'll take Anna away from this house. Go away from my father's presence until I'll never see Anna again— shouldn't I entrust my own sister to you. I'm disappointed in you."

The expression on Ryan's face that had been sad, teary eyes immediately changed completely. The eye pellets that had been dry now stiffened.

"You're disappointed in Dad?" he moved his steps closer to Leon.

"It doesn't matter if you're disappointed with Dad. Just one step your sister's out of the house, you'll know the consequences. Don't make me repeat the same mistake or you'll really regret it yourself."

Ryan passed from Leon's presence leaving a million feelings of confusion between Anna, Bi Rina and Alice. Anna approached and stood in front of Leon.

"Is there anything you didn't tell Anna? Is that a secret?"

Leon approached and smiled sweetly while gently rubbing the girl's back head.

"Still sick?" tanyakanya. Anna just shook her head and asked.

"Anna's answer first, Bang. Why did you say that? Is there something you and Dad are hiding from me?"

"Sstt... School children should not sleep long. Now you rest. Bi Rina please bring Anna back to her room now huh Bi."

"Well, Young Master," Bi Rina replied and took Anna walking towards the stairs towards the girl's room. However, Anna still glanced at Leon who was standing before Alice.

"We go home now" said Leon glanced at Alice beside him. The woman nodded and followed Leon to the door.

"Wait for Bi" said Anna turned back and went down the stairs. "Son't you go and leave Anna again?" Leon stopped his steps and stood before the girl again.

"Abang will be back here tomorrow. I won't dare to hit you again, trust me, brother."

"But Brother..."

"Auntie stays home. If it wasn't Leon who asked Auntie to leave, never leave this house" Leon continued walking out. Not forgetting he reached out to Alice's hand, leading her out of the house.
