Ishan, Ly and Elisa were just staring at Ivan seriously and Ivan was sweating, he had no idea how he is going to answer that...but at the end, Ishan just sighed and said, "Well, whatever, but if you are doing this from today, from now on, you will be responsible for all the work of washing plates and utensils, that's the declaration and the kitchen hearing ends here." And Ly beat the spoon on the table twice and Ivan was finally relieved and Elisa just laughed. Ishan kept his head down on the table and Ly jumped from her chair and moved to the living room to watch the new basketball game at television and time continued.
Elisa looked at Ivan, and he was almost done washing the things and Ishan realized something and he stood and walked away, giving them space and he also moved to the living room and left the kitchen. Elisa looked away from Ivan and she sat on a seat and kept her head down...and she finally took a deep breath.
"I am sorry for whatever happened here, Ivan...I just wanted to come and look for Ishan whether he is fine or not, he is like my little brother like Cyen is, and I had planned to come here, have some good food and spend some time talking to you all...but my parents noticed that I was planning to go somewhere, they saw the message I send to you at the midnight and at the early morning they get to know and they wanted to know where do Cyen and I go to eat sometimes at night, for them our chef's meals was the best and enough for all. So they fought me and forced to let them come with me, it was all still fine...but how it ended, I guess...that was unexpectable. I knew that one day such thing will come, but it came on the wrong time...I am sorry for their cruel words and what happened today."
Ivan was surprised, he didn't think that they would come on that topic because he had already moved on from that, he just smiled, dried his hands by a towel and sat in front of the table and replied, "No problem, it was all fine, we really don't mind. We have learned to ignore the words what others are saying because they don't know about us, and it's completely fine, don't apologize about it."
Elisa's cheeks turned a little bit red and she looked at Ivan with a little bit of shyness and asked, "And, do I need to explain...that it was all just to cancel the marriage proposal...I really don't want to hurt you, but...we aren't even friends." And Ivan was frozen, but Ishan and Ly were laughing loudly from inside and they didn't go to the living room and were just sitting, and sticking to the wall next and hearing everything. "I mean...yeah, I have just saw you because of basketball and that work related, so there's nothing between us...and...you know, that I just said that to change their idea to make me marry...I really don't want to...I just want to focus on my career of singing and then I may plan...but not now..."
Ivan just became normal, he wasn't affected by that, not at all, he was just calm, "I know, and even Ishan and Ly knows that you were just saying to save yourself and I really don't mind, we were just there and helping and supporting you because for us you were right on your point. We three don't misunderstand the things, so feel free and comfortable."
Elisa raised her head and looked at Ivan and said, "And...can I live here, till somedays only until they don't agree with my deal and wants me to come back there, and I think it would just last for three days, at most. So...can I live here?" And Ivan just smiled again, "Sure, feel free to stay here and consider this house as your own, you can stay." And Elisa smiled and looked down.
Suddenly the door was kicked, and Cyen was there with anger and he rushed-- but Ishan came in front of him first, smiled normally and looked at the angry Cyen and said, "Calm down, Cyen, don't be so angry, everything is fine here and your sister is safe, you can go but don't look so angry--" But suddenly Cyen caught Ishan's collars and said, "...Shut up, Ishan...what do--" But suddenly he remembered something and he started sweating too much...he looked at side, and Ly was also sweating but also giving a salute to Cyen with respect, "You fought very bravely big brother Cyen." And Cyen started sweating even more--
And Ishan kicked at Cyen's face straight and he was pushed back far and he lied down on the floor, unconscious...he forgot, that Ishan is completely serious about his collars...he forgot the consequences for a moment, and when he realized his mistake...it was too late...
"Ishan, you shouldn't do such things, you could try to control your anger but you didn't. That's a bad habit." Ivan scolded Ishan a little bit, Ivan and Elisa were giving him the bandages and Cyen was sitting, but still unconscious. Ishan looked down but Ly just smiled, "I already said, Big brother Ishan is completely serious about his collars, and I told everyone about that, but still, if you all take risk, you will get the consequences as well. It's foolish, if you were already taught that the fire can burn you but you still put your hand in and then shout and scream that you are burnt."
Ishan smiled and Ivan looked at Ly while sweating and said, "You are supporting violence, Ly?" And Ly smiled creepily and replied, "Big bro...every coin has two sides, and both has its own needs and values, when it is required, it must be used." And Ivan started sweating more while Ishan and Elisa were laughing gently on that little girl.
"I thought that you are innocent...but you are someone who can't be predicted, Ly." Elisa said and Ly gave another dialogue, "There's a lot of mysteries in every human ma'am, you still have time to know the reality of this world."
And Ivan gave up now and Elisa and Ishan just laughed loudly once again.
