 Kean turned his back on Kendra. "Your status as my father was—then. Now, it's no longer. Ah yes, since easily dumping me even 'him' is the same as you. Surely, you have a new family too?" Kean pointed for a moment at Kasya with her new husband, a finger covered in blood.

Kasya intended to do the same as Kendra, saying sorry. However, she decided against it.

"Too late!" Kean said without looking at the two of them. "Enjoy your new life and ignore this outcast." Kean walked away, if he talked to the two of them for long. It made Kean recall the bitter memories, previously forcibly erased from his mind.

Damn it!

Kean turned to Zavin, signaling that his job was done.

Indeed, a great sense of hatred overcame Kean, as a result of being thrown away by the two of them. The one who made the mistake was them, so why was he the victim. What's more, he realized he was a hypocrite. Still wanting to gather like a family, as well as affection. It came back to haunt him.

Honestly, Kean will never accept the reality he sees. Yep, while living in the dark world. Kean is always looking out, the lives of the two of them after throwing himself away. Seemed to really enjoy and forget his existence, still around them. Only realized, when he appeared on purpose.

Sometimes, Kean wondered. Can his wish be realized?

Given, they both already have new families.

No way!

Kasya returns to shock, then turns her head fractionally as Damian--her new husband. Suffice to say, before being required to marry Kendra. Damian was the one Kasya loved. Conversely, Kendra is also similar to Kasya. He already has someone he loves and is now bound to his will.

However, an unexpected problem blindsided them both. Leaving Kean—a poor, innocent child behind.

"So, he's your son with him?" Damian could be said to have recently forced Kasya to be honest about having a biological child with Kendra. Ever since, Kasya's behavior had been a bit strange when he saw the news about Kean who openly said being an assassin was his job. That is, when he was accidentally caught directly. Damian immediately suspects that Kean is Kasya's son with Kendra. What's more, when Kendra approached him earlier and said sorry even though it was too late.

"You made the wrong decision." Damian snapped back. "You know, I prefer honesty. Of course, I'll talk things over and try to accept your son with Kendra."

Kasya fell silent. "I-I—"

"I've come to believe that regret always comes at the end." Damian was angry, having just found out that Kasya's child with Kendra was alive and growing up. Because in the past, Kasya had said—he was gone.

What Kendra did was almost the same as Kasya. The slight difference was that Kendra did not say that his biological child with Kasya was alive or dead. However, only now telling the truth to his wife—Rhevina. After an unexpected encounter with Kean.

"Kean is it?" asked Rhevina. "You know what? Now, I'm starting to feel guilty too. My life, my son's life, with you was happy. But, seeing your son with Kasya. The guilt just rises up."

Kendra rubbed his face roughly. Without saying it, Kendra realized what he had done was fatal. Successfully making Kean, live the wrong life.

This was a surprise to Raga, certainly to those who had known Kean in his dark life. It turned out that one of his usual friends, was the half-brother of the robot—Kean. Even began to think about something, precisely when Rayyan suddenly asked about Kean.

"It's sad and complicated, isn't it? But, it's very surprising--eh?" Raga chuckled softly, his gaze still fixed on Kean. Successfully discovered his whereabouts, after eliminating traces of the encounter. Unfortunately, it was temporary because Kean had already disappeared from his line of sight. "Uh wait, two half-brothers and sisters. Because Rayyan has a younger sister."

After that, Raga separated himself from his men often roaming freely while he mingled with schoolmates. Raga's goal, this time the meeting place was to meet Rayyan.

Sure enough, Rayyan was seen leaving the building not with his family. It could be said that all the invited guests had gone home. As a result of the tragic events befalling Rivan, killed directly by Kean.

"I see, why are you asking about that—eh?"

Rayyan gasped, seeing Raga appear out of nowhere and already next to him. After that, he was transfixed again. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing Kendra's words to Kean.

"You really just found out, didn't you?" Raga glared seriously. "No wonder, every time I ask her family. Always not answering, or diverting the conversation, and even worse just leaving." That's what Raga often saw, from Kean's behavior when it came to family.

Rayyan sighed for a moment, shuddering slightly as Raga gave him a serious look. "Yes, I recently asked as well as found out. That time, I asked you. To reconfirm. After accidentally, seeing father's behavior was quite strange. When uhm ...."

"Kean." Raga knew that, gradually, guilt came over Rayyan. Even though he did not do it, but one of his parents did. Automatically, he still felt guilty. In fact, it was difficult for Rayyan to say the name of the half-brother—Kean.

"Y-Yes, that!" Rayyan sighed for a moment. "Seeing him get busted made the news."

"I don't really understand feelings. Understandably, I've had a hard life—different from yours or other teenagers. I don't know why I wanted to tell you. Maybe it's not that important, but it's certain that the matter of you—eh your father being Kean's father—started to spread. Unexpectedly, your name—especially your father's—will be heard among those who recognize Kean in the dark world."

Rayyan was stunned.

Raga was sure, anything related to Kean would definitely be increasingly sought out or stalked. In fact, when talking with Rayyan. Raga felt that there were many pairs of eyes on him—more precisely, Rayyan.

"The robot—‘Kean, the hard and terrible nature he has is due to the bitter fate of life." Raga still couldn't believe that he could find a child who was the victim of parental problems and chose to leave the child behind.

"Yeah, no fair!" Kean held his head so tightly that in an instant, it turned into a rough whipping. Until the next moment, there was a very loud scream. Screaming was at least a bit of a relief for Kean.

Thick red liquid dripped-slowly, while shouting earlier Kean stabbed his own arm that was used to grab roughly. Afterwards, he fell silent again and his black bead looked very empty. It didn't matter that the wound on his arm was made by himself—even the penknife he used was still stuck.

"Why can't it be forgotten!" Kean hoped that the memory would be erased, but it couldn't be. "Aren't they at fault? Why am I the victim?" Kean understood very well, their actions made everything happen until he was born as proof.

Kean moved away from the barrier, going back to the middle of nowhere. Before taking out his cell phone for a moment, Kean sent a short message to his current boss—Alex. Afterwards, deactivating it so that no one would contact him even deliberately pulled out the sim card. Putting it back, into his pocket.

For now, all Kean wanted was peace and to forget everything related to his past.
