The old Lee was turning the pages of the report he was checking. He was on bed, trying to get sleepy. A knock was heard on his door and his butler entered politely.

"Mr. Lee. Your granddaughter wants to see you."

The forehead of the old man knotted. It was already late.

"She's here?" He asked, surprised.

"Yes, sir. We're all surprised to see her outside the gate."

"What does she need now? Money? Freedom?" He asked coldly, continuing his unfinished business.

"S-she said she needs his grandfather. The young lady looks bothered. She doesn't seem fine." The Butler informed the older unsure.

He stopped what he was doing so and nodded.

"Send her in."

A few minutes passed and Divina entered his room weakly. She couldn't look at him with those sore eyes.

"I didn't think Luhan will allow you to get out this late."

"He didn't know that I left..."

"What do you need? If it's money you will ask me, I won't give you even a single penny." The old man said coldly.

"I'm here to ask for forgiveness."

"..."

"I've never been a granddaughter to you. I'm the black sheep of this family. I disappointed everyone... You... Umma and appa." She didn't know that her eyes could still cry. Everything came out like a water falling from the falls.

"..."

"I decided to go away for the mean time. Of course, I'm not expecting anything from you. Just be healthy. I'll come back for you. When I come back, you will be proud of me."

The old man pitied his granddaughter. He didn't consider her feeling all this time. He felt sorry for seeing her in the state of being broken.

"I'm always been proud of you. For five years, you are able to act strong in front of everyone. You're like your mom. Whatever comes in her mind, must be followed."

"I'm sorry, grandfather." She murmured between her sobs. Divina made her way to her grandfather and hugged him.

"Hush now. It's my fault also. I have never been a grandfather to you."
