When Hariz and Tori arrived home, Hariz sees his father, Joseph Eagles and his twin Tanya are there.

"Hello, dad. Never knows you'll back home today", said Hariz.

"I'm just back for a while. I'll go to Singapore after this", said Mr Eagles.

"Really. What a busy life you have", said Hariz.

"Yeah, of course. But enough with this chit chat. There's something I want to tell you which I already told your sisters", said Mr Eagles.

"Oh. What is that?" asked Hariz.

"Your mother and I are officially divorce", said Mr Eagles. Hariz is surprised.

"What?? You and mom didn't come home for long time and now all of sudden you back here and said you're divorce? What the fuck is going on here?" asked Hariz.

"Mind your language, boy", said Tori but being ignored by Hariz.

"Your mother had follow her old boyfriend during high school time and left us. She's at Australia now, enjoying their new marriage", said Mr Eagles.

"Marriage? How long have you been divorce actually?" asked Hariz.

"3 months", said Mr Eagles.

"3 months? You had been divorced for damn 3 months and you just tell us now?" asked Hariz.

"We're too busy with our work at overseas. We have no time to tell you anything", said Mr Eagles.

"Then, why mom never come and see us?" asked Hariz.

"She told me she can't face any of you after all this", said Mr Eagles. Hariz sighed heavily.

"So, now. What's next?" asked Hariz.

"You'll stay here as usual. Nothing is going to change that. Now then, I need to leave now. Just text me if you need anything", said Mr Eagles before left.

Then, Tori and Tanya made the way to their own bedroom while Hariz took one of his father's car key and return to the dojo to continue his training. That's how he releases his stress and tension. he keeps on training at the dojo until late of midnight and he only stop when Pak Tam came to tell him it's time to close the dojo. Then, Hariz drives his father's AE86 to Queen Flavia Lake. It is one of his favourite spot to relax. Hariz spent his time there thinking what happen in whole day while looking at the lake's beautiful view. Suddenly, he heard a voice cried for help. Then, Hariz saw a blonde-hair girl being chased by 2 dogs. Hariz then quickly take a baseball bat inside his car's boot and rush to the girl and swing the bat so hard to one of the dog and send it fly far away. After seeing its friend being beaten, the other dog run away. The girl that Hariz just save looks relieve.

"Thanks. You just save my live", said the girl. Hariz just realised how beautiful the girl is.

"Oh, you're welcome", said Hariz.

"Oh, I'm Ciara, by the way. Ciara Hanna", said Ciara.

"Hariz. Hariz Eagles. By the way, why those dogs chase you?" asked Hariz.

"Well, when I walked around, I accidently kicked a stone to them", said Ciara.

"Fuck, so I just hurt an innocence life", said Hariz regretfully.

"Yeah but who cares? It just a stray dog", said Ciara.

"Still it's a life form", said Hariz. "By the way, what in the blue hell that you do, walking alone here at the midnight like this?"

"Oh, nothing. Just walk around seeing this new place. I just moved in here this morning actually. Going to stay here with my grandmother", said Ciara.

"What about your parent?" asked Hariz. Ciara's face suddenly turns moody.

"They died last week in a car crash", said Ciara sadly.

"I'm sorry", Hariz apologized.

"No, it's okay. We just meet after all", said Ciara.

"C'mon, I send you home", said Hariz. Ciara just smiles.

"Thanks", said Ciara. Hariz then drive his father's car away from the lake.

Hariz then stop at a residency area where there's many old fashioned town house.

"So, you lives here", said Hariz.

"Yeah. This is it. Not as fancy as your mansion, I guess", said Ciara.

"How do you know I live in a mansion?", asked Hariz.

"You might think I don't know who you are, but I know really well about your family, The Eagles Household. My late father worked as mechanics at San Carlos's branch of Eagles Garage for years until his death", said Ciara.

"I see. So, now you stay here with your grandmother alone?" asked Hariz.

"Yes. By the way, thanks for the ride. Goodnight", said Ciara.

"Yeah, goodnight", said Hariz. Then, he drives home.
