Rama pulls Tiffani's arm until she and Tiffani arrive at a deserted corridor. There was no one in the corridor, not even the servants passed by as usual, as if all the creatures in the house knew that Tiffani and Rama were going to start a war.
Tiffani jolts her hand from Rama's grasp as Rama stops a step beside a row of vases filled with colorful taro leaves.
"Deliver!" tiffani.
Rama sighed, while distancing himself from Tiffani, he did not want Tiffani to be more rebellious and finally did not want to listen to what he wanted to say.
"Don't do this, Tiffani, what happened to you until you became like this. You are no longer the Tiffani I know. You are so rude and do not care about the feelings of others when you talk. It doesn't matter if you're rude to me, but to Mr. Damar and Gracella-"
"What do you do if I'm being rude to Grace? It's none of your business at all, even if I need it in front of your eyes, it's none of your business, Rama. So stop meddling and stop being so smart, because you're not much better than me either!" babbles Tiffani.
"Of course it's all my business. What you're doing will be my business if-"
"Don't you fucking care about me, I don't really need-"
"It's not you, Tiffani, I'm not trying to be real caring or caring for you at all, but I do care about what happened to Gracella, because I'm Gracella's bodyguard now. Gracella's safety is my responsibility" Rama said, cutting off Tiffani's remarks.
Tiffani freezes. He did not expect at all and never expected to hear such a thing come out of the lips of Rama. He did not know what was going on until Rama suddenly became Gracella's bodyguard.
Tiffani clenched her hands, trying to hide the burning anger inside her chest. It does not matter if Rama resigned, but why after no longer with him, Rama instead decided to make Gracella bodyguard.
Rama's shocking statement made both of Tiffani's knees instantly go limp, and also her stomach becomes Cramp. Tiffani's reflex touched her stomach grimacing as she felt pain in her stomach.
"Tiffani, are you okay?" rama asked, as he approached Tiffani with his arms outstretched, he was afraid that Tiffani might fall unconscious. His worried face made Tiffani almost melt and receive Rama's hand.
"Rama, come on, we have to go somewhere." Gracella appears and immediately asks Rama to go with her.
The sudden appearance of Gracella in the corridor and damage the togetherness between Tiffani and Rama make Tiffani inflamed. Tiffani immediately grabbed a nearby vase and threw the was to Gracella.
Prangs!
The vase hit Gracella's body before falling to the floor and breaking into pieces.
"Jeez, what are you doing, Tiffani!" Rama exclaimed, then immediately approached Gracella who looked shocked.
"Rama, it hurts so much" said Gracella, holding her chest that was hit by a vase throw when Rama had arrived before her.
Rama nodded. "Yes, Grace, I will treat her immediately" said Rama, who was now kneeling before Gracella, as one of the broken pieces of the vase hit Gracella's leg, bleeding the girl's leg.
Tiffani snorted angrily at Gracella's spoiled attitude towards Rama. He immediately stepped out of the corridor, as he passed by Gracella and Rama, not forgetting that he deliberately hit Gracella's body hard, until Gracella almost fell. However, Rama swiftly restrained Gracella's body with both hands.
Tiffani pouted seeing what Rama had done. "Damn!"he murmured, then immediately continued his steps leaving the corridor while cursing at length.
Tiffani arrived in the dining room a short time later, and was shocked to see Mona and Sela's hair falling apart, and there were long cuts to both her neck and face.
"What the-"
"Don't ask too many questions, Tiffani. Everything they get is because of themselves. Get ready, and come with me to the hospital. I'm sure you've been waiting for you there." Damar cut out the sentence that came out of Tiffani's lips, then immediately came out of the dining room without making any further pleasantries.
"Ish, you old bastard is such a bitch." Tiffani grumbled as she stared at Damar's back which moved away.
Mona and Sela pat Tiffani on the shoulder, and hook a hand on Tiffani's arm, leading Tiffani out of the dining room.
"We're fine" said Sela, who walked to Tiffani's right.
"Other times we won't lose" said Mona, who runs to Tiffani's left.
Tiffani sighed harshly. "I can't believe you two lost against one."
"You know how else. He cheated." Mona defended herself.
"He's playing bite. I hope I don't get rabies." Sela.
"I thought he must be cheating, he's a poisonous snake." Tiffani said as she clenched her hands. "Look, I'll make him tormented as long as he's here. How dare he come and ruin my days."
"We'll help." Sela and Mona say it at the same time.
***
Inside Gracella's room, Rama is focused on treating the wounds on Gracella's legs. Occasionally there was a groaning sound from Gracella's lips that felt pain, because the wound on Gracella's leg was quite large.
"When you get to the hospital, you have to see a doctor before you see Mr. Richard" Rama said, as he finished wrapping Gracella's wound with a bandage.
"No, this is enough. I'm not going to see a doctor" Gracella said with a smile.
"I'm not very good at treating wounds, so it's very necessary to see a doctor and treat them properly so that there is no infection or anything like that." Rama then stood up, and stared fixedly at Gracella.
Feeling stared at by Rama, Gracella blushed. "What's wrong?" ask Gracella.
"I represent Tiffani and apologize to you for all the unpleasant events today. Tiffani has been going through a lot of hard times over the past few weeks, so I beg you to understand and forgive her" Rama said earnestly.
The smile on Gracella's lips disappeared as she heard what Rama had said. He's quite disappointed.
"Why are you apologizing on his behalf? That's not necessary at all. But by the way Rama, do you and Tiffani have a special relationship. You talk nonformally to her and you don't even pin Miss's words every time she talks about her. Looks like you guys are pretty close."
Rama was silent. He doesn't want to say anything to Gracella about his relationship with Tiffani. Gracella has absolutely no right to know everything about her, including her relationship with Tiffani.
"Come, we need to get to the hospital. I think Mr. Damar and the others have left first," asked Rama, diverted the conversation, and immediately went out first from within Gracella's room.
Gracella sighed as soon as Rama was no longer in her room. "I'll find out what happened between you and Tiffani, too" he murmured.
***
Arriving at the hospital. Tiffani immediately headed to Richard's room, and with a sullen face, she met Richard who looked relaxed and did not feel guilty at all for the mess that had occurred.
"Hi, son, is your morning fun?" ask Richard, to Tiffani.
Tiffani snorted in annoyance. "What does it look like to Dad? Do you think I look happy now?"
Richard clucking. "You should feel good at all times for the sake of your baby, Tiffani."
"I'll drop it. I'm going to see Doctor Stella this afternoon." Tiffani replied firmly, although in fact she was very difficult to hold back her tears from falling, and also to endure the pain in her chest.
"Where's Gracella?" ask Richard to Damar.
"He's still at home, sir, neither Tiffani nor Gracella would want to come here if they were in the same car. That's why I asked Gracella to come along with Rama." Damar replied while bowing his body slightly.
"Hem, what a pity, when I'd be happy if you two get along," Richard said as he looked at Tiffani.
"Don't expect. Even until the apocalypse I will not want to make up with him," said Tiffani firmly.
Sela and Mona nod behind Tiffani, as if the two agree on Tiffani's decision that will continue to be hostile to Gracella for all eternity.
"You two should have advised Tiffani." Damar glared at Sela and Mona.
"We will only advise Tiffani when Tiffani makes a mistake, while for both of us hating Gracella is not a mistake" Mona said, replying to Damar's irritated eyes.
Damar was massaging his head which was in great pain right now. "You are all so troublesome. Your attitude that disrespects the old man must be corrected immediately."
Geck, tok, tok!
There was a knock on Richard's door, and moments later the door swung open, and Rama appeared with Gracella.
"Sorry, are we late?" rama asked, stepping into the room.
"No. You are not late" said Damar.
Meanwhile, Richard's gaze never separated from a girl standing beside Rama. His two eyes even began to dew, and a feeling of sadness began to gnaw at his chest when he saw Gracella.
"You've grown up, Grace, and you're getting to look more like your mother. I'm glad you've grown up so well" Richard said after a few moments of silence.
Gracella was silent, she did not speak, did not smile, did not nod, she did not even return Richard's gaze.
"I'm glad you came. I thought you'd never come" Richard said. Her voice remained soft, even though Gracella looked so cold to her.
"I came because of compensation. I hope you're not lying to me." Gracella said fiercely.
Richard smiled. "I'll give you what Damar told you. I'm not gonna lie."
"Good," said Gracella.
Rama is somewhat surprised to see how Gracella behaves to Richard. Gracella looked so resentful of Richard, that Gracella was reluctant to look at Richard at all.
Tiffani herself becomes upset at how disrespectful Gracella is when interacting with her father.
"I don't mind your arrogant attitude, but if you're talking to my dad you should at least be polite to him." Tiffani pushes Gracella while hissing in front of the girl.
Gracella smiled cynically, then pushed back Tiffani. "Why should I be respectful to him. Because of him, my father died, because of him I became an orphan, all because of him!" Gracella shouted while pointing at Richard who was still sitting on the bed.
Plaque!
Tiffani could not stand it anymore, she slapped Gracella in the face.
"I told you a long time ago that everything that happened to your father wasn't because of my father. You already know what the real thing is, but why do you still blame my father, huh?!"
Gracella held onto her cheek that felt sore from the slap from Tiffani.
"Well, Tiffani, it's only been a few hours since we met but you've hurt me twice. After throwing me with a vase, now you slap me. You have a messed up personality, Tiffani, I wonder how your father and mother educated you" Gracella said.
Tiffani again raised her hand to slap Gracella. Tiffani did not care about Richard's cry asking him to stop.
Plaque!
One slap back landed on the cheek. However, it was not Gracella's cheek this time, but Rama's cheek. Just before Tiffani lands her hand on Gracella's cheek, Rama blocks her by standing between Tiffani and Gracella, until Tiffani slaps her across Rama's cheek instead of Gracella's.
Tiffani is choked when she realizes that she slapped Rama instead of Gracella.
"If you're done, take it easy for a while, Tiffani, plis," muttered Rama, his two clear eyes staring directly into Tiffani's eyes so that Tiffani felt very sorry.
"Compress your cheek, Rama," Richard said.
Rama bent. "Good, Sir." After saying that Rama went straight out from inside the room.
"You two can be with Rama" Richard said again, to Mona and Sela.
Mona and Sela nodded, and immediately came out of the room to catch up with Rama.
"It looks like they'll be talking about important and secret matters." Sela commented, as soon as she and Mona had arrived outside the room.
"Looks like. Ah, I wonder what Om Richard is discussing with Fani and Grace" Sela murmured.
"Not to be curious like that. Now how about we go to the cafeteria and let's tell me what happened to Tiffani and Grace, so now they're hostile like that" Rama said, the sudden appearance behind Mona and Sela who were still standing in front of Richard's room.
Sela and Mona are shocked to hear Rama's voice.
"Jeez, you surprised me." Mona pushes Rama away, until Rama falls. If there had been no Adam to hold Rama's body, Rama would have been curled up on the floor.
"Ah, why women now there is nothing feminine," said Rama, while upholding his body.
"Yes, I was wondering" said Adam, staring at Mona. "But if I think about it, I prefer a barbaric woman to a feminine one" he continued, then blinked one eye at Mona.
Mona blushes, while Rama knocks Adam's head quite hard, then looks back at Mona. "Hurry and tell me about those two cousins who seem to hate each other."
Mona breathed heavily. "You really want to know? Won't I get upset when I tell you the truth?"
Rama shrugged both of his shoulders, "What am I upset for. Why why?"
"Okay, I'll tell you then. Gracella seduces Tiffani's lover and snatches Tiffani's lover. They had an affair and were caught kissing while working on a group assignment in Tiffani's room. That's what makes Tiffani very angry at Gracella, especially Tiffani's lover when it was Tiffani's first love. Tiffani's love died to her lover, which is why until now Tiffani has not forgiven Gracella."
Rama's mood immediately turned worse as soon as he knew the fact. "First love, dead love" murmured Rama.
"Yes, love dies" Mona said,
