The Scards: Start!
Chapter 9: Conscious

"Who would dare to steal this much company money?!" Raung Derrick and Damian at the same time but different places while creating a map until the contents come out. They currently hold financial statements provided by the finance division.

According to the data, the theft took place three weeks ago and they have assigned someone to track it down, but nil. No trace left.

Until a data that almost made them heart attack, this time almost all the money of the company was stolen, leaving a dozen million money that almost made the company bankrupt.

Since Ran's death three weeks ago, followed by news of Albert and Joshua's death because of an accident made Damian increasingly suppressed guilt. He could only regret all his indifference to the poor girl thanks to Emillia's incitement.

Another Damian with Derrick, the man can only massage the temple to reduce the headache that afflicted him.

Derrick feels Ran's death is a blessing given the boy does not have facial features like himself or the wife. Moreover, a few strands of bright blue hair and those dark blue eyes.

Derrick just let out a rude sigh and immediately called the secretary over the company phone, "Reply prepare the room immediately. We're meeting in ten minutes!"

It looks like two people of different gender are busy wrestling. They attack each other, kick, deflect and evade each other's attacks. Their movements are quite agile and nimble like people dancing if noticed at a glance.

Until a twenty-five-year-old girl dressed in beautiful black hair decorated with several strands of bright blue hair managed to thwart the attack of a handsome man with bright blue hair approaching white directed towards him, makes the man annoy.

"All right, I'm giving up." Said the man who was none other than Ganymede with annoyance who was responded with a snort by the girl.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Looks like your stamina is drained quite a lot due to the age factor." Ledek the girl who was none other than Kirania, made Ganymede cluck annoyed.

"I'm not old." Struck pissed.

"I told you about the age factor, not calling you an old man. Looks like you're self-conscious, uh." Sindir Kirania with a spicy tone that managed to make Ganymede lost for words.

"You..." Ganymede was upset. Living with this girl for thirteen years made her have to be mentally patient because of the attitude and words of Kirania that gave her a headache.

Ganymede exhaled violently, trying to regulate his near-exploding emotions. After feeling calm, Ganymede looked at the girl for a moment and said, "It's time for you to return to your body."

Sontak Kirania looked at the man with a complicated expression. It was certain that Kirania did not want to part with him.

"I don't want to go back. No one wants to love me there. They always torture me." He said with a sad expression as he recalled his past.

"Did you miss the person who hurt and dumped you?" Tanya Ganymede who was replied with a sling.

"I don't have anyone. Sister Elli must hate me, because of me she lost her parents. Uncle Alex is gone, uncle Albert and uncle Joshua also rarely see me because it's busy." Kirania said, looking down sad.

"You should go back, Ran. Don't dwell on the past. If your family and people don't like you, ignore it." Ganymede advised him, he tried to persuade the Cyrians. "You're a strong girl, Ran. That's why I chose you as the tattoo owner of the constellation Aquarius." Ganymede hugged Kirania who was now crying sobbing, the girl's body began to fade.

"We can still connect through telepathy, Ran. Go back to your body. There is a truth waiting for you. You have to accept the truth." Ganymede suggested to Kirania that they were calm.

"The truth?" Beo Kirania curious. The girl began to break away from Ganymede's embrace.

"You'll know later." Answer Ganymede. Kirania's body looked transparent and faded.

"Don't show anyone your skills." Ganymede's last message before the girl disappeared melted into a beam of light. Leaving Ganymede alone was busy with his thoughts.

Three weeks went by so quickly. Slowly Kirania opened her eyes and saw a room with a white nuance with the smell of typical drugs accompanied by the sound of a heart oval that sounded loud.

Beside him was a man with a less manicured appearance staring at the girl, "Until when are you going to lie here, Ran. Wake up, I miss you." The man was none other than Albert. Visible face decorated with a slightly thick sideburn, black circumference at the bottom of the eyes and eye bags clearly visible signifies the man rarely sleep and take care of himself.

A small movement made him look. Albert saw Kirania had opened her eyes and was looking around. He saw Kirania trying to sit leaning back. Albert quickly helped the girl lean back by pressing the remote control on the edge of the hospital bed.

The man was looking at her anxiously, longing, worried and mixed emotions into one like stirring mixed ice. Unthinkable.

"Thank God you're sober. Aya–hem! I'm worried about you." Albert, who almost called himself father, made the girl look at him curiously.

"Water... " Cyria Lirih. He felt his esophagus was very dry and bitter. Albert swiftly took a bottle of water and helped to drink to the girl. Kirania downed him to the toilet and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, uncle." Said Kirania sincerely who was only replied with a smile. Albert immediately pressed the emergency button to call the doctor.

"How are you doing?" Albert asked worriedly. He looked at Kirania with a warm gaze, making the girl feel at ease.

"I'm fine, Uncle." Kirania's reply coincided with a doctor and nurse entering the ICU room where Kirania was being treated and conducting a series of examinations.

"Patients can leave the ICU. For a while the patient was treated first for three days to ensure his condition to remain stable." Obviously the doctor while removing the device attached to Kirania's body.

"Hn. Do it." Albert answered briefly.

Kirania has been transferred to the VIP ward. Currently the girl was sitting leaning with next to her arm attached to an infusion.

He looked at the room he was in. There was a sofa to his right, a television and a bathroom inside.

The door of his room opened, making Kirania turn her head. He sees a man with brown hair entering his room with a maroon-haired teenager who is none other than Joshua and Ellios. Not to forget Ellios closed the door of the room and followed Joshua who first approached Kirania who was sitting leaning.

"Where's Albert?" Joshua asked as he glanced around while putting a parcel on the sofa.

"Uncle Albert in the bathroom." Kirania replied as she looked at Ellios timidly. The sound of water rustling in the bathroom indicates someone is there.

Joshua realized there was a problem with the two children who soon entered adolescence, immediately the man made excuses so that the two could solve their problems. "I'm out first. There's something I forgot." Joshua said as he sauntered away leaving behind a pair of teenagers who were still awkward.

After making sure Joshua left, Ellios looked at Kirania who was looking down in fear. The boy decided to raise his voice to break the silence in the room. "I've heard from Uncle Joshua and Uncle Albert. The Anderson and Brawijaya families are outrageous."

"I'm sorry, brother. Because I–" Kirania's words were cut by Ellios. "It wasn't your fault. Those who are too cruel. You've been considered my sister." Ellios said as she hugged Kirania.

Kirania was touched when she heard Ellios' words. The girl looked up at the thirteen-year-old's eyes in search of a lie, but there was no look of resentment toward her.

"Thank you, brother." Kirania said sincerely and returned Ellios' embrace.
