"Hoaaaaw." Dinna yawned while stretching her body.
Actually he did not want to wake up in the morning, but what a force, the sunlight accidentally stung the corner of his eye.
With a still sleepy look, Dinna started to get out of bed, and walked slowly towards the bathroom.

An hour had passed, now that Dinna had finished preparing a simple meal for her breakfast. But Dinna began to be curious, because Nadi had not yet come.
Not usually Nadi woke up late in the morning, especially if he had heard or smelled the aroma of cooking, surely He would be the first to come, but now, even Miko who had been waiting from earlier.
"Wait a minute, I'll call him first." Dinna said as she sauntered away, leaving Miko who was cowering bored.
Because Dinna does not know which room Nadi occupies, so to look for it takes a long time, because even when telepathically, Nadi did not say.
"Ck, where is He really!?" Decak annoyed Dinna.
About 15 minutes Dinna had walked down one room at a time downstairs, finally he arrived at a room that was quite ordinary.
Even in the ordinary say was not suitable, because the door looked like a barn door, not maintained, and looked old.
With a slight hesitation, Dinna approached the door.
Kriiiett...." The crackling of the door loudly sounded deafening to the ears.
"Where could he be here." Dinna muttered while looking at the dark room.
Ctek!" Dinna turned on the light switch that was right next to the door.
After the lights turned on and illuminated the entire room, Dinna's eyes were immediately locked onto one thing, namely Nadi who was sleeping soundly on the mattress.
Yeah, that was Dinna's mind at first. But when Dinna approached Nadi, intending to wake him up for breakfast, Dinna was immediately shocked.
He even walked quickly towards Nadi. Seemed a pale face engraved on Nadi's face, not even that, now his cheeks are wet, because it continues to flow tears that are still flowing.
At that very second, Dinna immediately tried to wake Nadi, of course, worry, anxiety and others boomed into one.
"Hey, wake! Wake up!" Dinna said while shaking Nadi's body, but the effort did not produce results, Nadi still closed his eyes while crying.
"Ish, why the hell!?" Dinna asked increasingly worried.
"Wake up! Pulses... Get up!" Shouted Dinna trying to wake Nadi.
Vighhhh...!!" Shouted Nadi who immediately woke up suddenly, even directly sitting with eyes that were still glaring.
Although he was awake, but Nadi still remained in his own world, empty eyes, radiating fear and sadness, even He while clenching his hands tightly.
"Already, I'm here, don't worry." Dinna said gently, trying to calm the inner Nadi who was still worried.
And yes, thanks to Dinna's embrace, Nadi now became a little calm, the sadness and fear slowly went away, and the moment passed for quite a while.

"What exactly was that?" Dinna asked curiously after eating her homemade breakfast.
"I had a nightmare earlier, maybe this is the effect because I've taken the Old Man's Grace." replied Nadi casually.
"What dream?"
"Have it, I'll tell you later, now is the time to eat." Nadi said while enjoying the food, and Dinna certainly obeyed, although a little disappointed.
After eating....
"Maybe, when I took the Old Man's Grace, I accidentally took his experience and knowledge as well." Nadi opened the chat.
Nadi knew, that his words had made Dinna become disappointed, especially he was very worried after waking him up.
"Continue?" Ask Dinna briefly.
"Yes, you know yesterday, I managed to master the Quick Step in just half a day. Actually to master the Quick Step, I have to do the exercise for 1 month."
"But for some reason, the more I think, the more I try, the Old Man's experience runs through my brain, and it's certainly not a pleasant experience." Nadi is sad again.
"Ish, stupid! Use that experience as part of your life, don't make it a substitute for your narrow mindset." Saut Dinna angry.
"Huh?" Nadi was shocked.
"What you take is just experience and knowledge, it doesn't mean that every thought and other thing you take as well, just think of it as the days you go through practice." Dinna Resolute.
Dinna knew, actually it was not because of the experience of Old Man, but because Nadi's mindset was still weak, so he was easily consumed by the experience.
"Yes but, in that experience, there was the sadness and fear of the Old Man, especially when He knew that Adonis died in my hands, it felt as if..." Nadi's speech immediately pale, until his speech was cut off.
Taps!" Dinna hugged Nadi.
"Yes, I know, if you can't forget it, then just think of it in your mind, just another person's story, and don't assume that it's yours." Soft Dinna speech.
"I'll try." Say Nadi while leaning in Dinna's warm embrace.
"Remember this one thing, your family is just one, which is Me and Miko, okay?" Said Dinna taking off her embrace, then she looked seriously at Nadi's eyeballs.
"Yes..." Nadi replied with an enchanted smile.
"Good, keep in mind our fond memories together, and make every experience you take as a strength, not a weakness." A smile from Dinna.
