All the servants working in our house were good people whose identities had been carefully checked. There is not a single worker who is not well known for his background and origin. Who intentionally hurt me?
“What? Why did he do it, Grandpa?” I was surprised to hear the name of the maid who had pushed my wheelchair. She is the daughter of one of our loyal workers. They have worked for Grandpa and Grandma for decades, even before Papa married Mama.
“We've investigated his phone. He likes Luca. The youth does not know himself to deliberately provoke that he loves you, but you reject his feelings. Because the girl loves him, he is affected and feels angry with you,” Grandpa said.
“Luca? Can we punish him for what he did?” aska I want to know.
“No. He is outside our legal jurisdiction. The girl we kicked out. His parents also. We have given some money so that they can find a job in a new place or open a business. Whatever they. But they can't stay here anymore. I don't want to risk you or Charlotte getting hurt again by her act,” Grandpa said firmly.
Stupid girl. He got a comfortable place to live, a good job, and a kind employer. Why would he waste all these opportunities by doing evil? Poor father and mother who have been loyal to our family. He lost everything, but Luca did not come to his aid. How could he be influenced by that cunning man?
Waking up the next day, my eyes began to be sensitive to the sunlight coming through the window. I looked around me and everything seemed to run away. But I don't just see the shapeless shadow anymore. I can already distinguish the sideboard with the chair.
Grandpa goes to the office, while Charlotte and Wyatt go to their college. I was alone with Grandma at home. He never left me alone when I was on the move. We watched together in the living room, discussed the news or gossip we heard, even cooked food recipes that were easy for me to learn.
“Your nature and your papa are very similar,” Grandma said cheerfully. He must be smiling happily at the moment. “So he went after Abby, your mom, desperately. Their relationship ended due to misunderstanding though, your father chased after her until she wanted to go back to him. Exactly like you did to Hadi.”
“But because I'm a girl, Grandma thinks my behavior is weird, ‘kan?” sulking me.
Grandma laughing. “Do you think it's not strange? You're the one who broke up, uh, you're the one who begged to get you back together.”
“I won't let go of him again. Even if there is a woman who tries to take him away from me, I will not make things easy for him,” I said seriously.
“Other women?” ask Grandma who touched my hand. “Is that what happened yesterday? You guys got into a fight because there was another girl who approached Hadi?” I was silent, not ready to tell anyone about the calamity that Hadi had experienced. “Good. You can tell it to us when you're ready. No need to worry about Hadi. He's a good young man.”
“I know, Grandma. That's why I keep chasing until I get.” I giggled at myself with everything I had done to be his girlfriend again. Grandma laughed with me.
Hadi fulfilled his promise by coming home after work. We had dinner before working on my script in Grandpa's study. They didn't let me and him alone in my room. We will not do anything inappropriate.
But I obeyed Grandpa and Grandma's request. Charlotte helped by moving all the books I needed into the room. Hadi very patiently read every important paragraph that I marked on the book that I included in the bibliography.
“How are things in the office today?” I asked him after he asked us to stop. I tidied up my book again, and he turned off my laptop.
“Everyone misses you. They want to come see, but I forbid.” He immediately said that sentence before I said it. I don't want to meet anyone but the closest people. I don't want anyone to see me in this situation.
“Thank you, dear.” He sat by my side, so I could rest my head on his arm.
“How about you? What are you doing today at home?” tanyanya slow.
“Chat with Grandma, then learn to cook one new recipe,” I replied quickly.
“Is there still a part for me? I want to try it too,” Hadi said enthusiastically. I laughed while shaking slowly. “Why not? Your croisan made yesterday was delicious. Surely your cooking today is just as delicious.”
“Me and Grandma spent it this afternoon. We just make easy cooking, spaghetti with meat balls. It sounds complicated and troublesome. But with all the tools at hand, making tomato sauce, meatballs, and all the special seasonings is easier,” I said. “Sometimes I'll make it for you.”
“I want tomorrow. Just hearing it made me starve.” He's grabbing my shoulder.
“After you get me back, you have dared to refuse my request, huh? Hm?” I laughed and felt her kiss my temple. “Do I need to sulk and stay away from you so that you will do anything that can make me happy?”
“Alright, fine. I'll cook you two servings of spaghetti tomorrow. Is there anything else you want, baby?” I put my chin on his arm so he could see my facial expression.
“Iya.” He kissed the tip of my nose. I smile. “Capable to heal, yes.” I nodded happily.
“There is one more thing you probably already know.” I told him about our waiter who had to be fired, for pushing my wheelchair up the stairs.
“I already know. Papa told us at breakfast this morning.”
“Why can he be so stupid? If Luca had the same feelings as her, I could understand. The time he was not aware that he was being played?” I just don't believe it.
“You need to learn to accept that even a well-known person must have made the wrong decision, dear. Forget about him.” I screamed in surprise when she suddenly carried my body. He took me from the study to my room on the second floor. Things I won't refuse. After sitting me on the edge of my bed, he exited the room for a moment and returned with my wheelchair.
“Rest. No need to think about unimportant things. Okay well? I'll come again tomorrow.” He helped me sit in a wheelchair, then kissed the top of my head. “I'll call Charlotte so she helps you clean up.”
“No need.” The sound of my brother entering the room. “I know anytime my beloved brother needs me. Go home. Carefully drive. I don't want my brother to be sad if something bad happens to you.”
“Do you pray that something bad happens to me, Charlotte?” challenge Hadi. I laughed at the jokes between them.
It wasn't the only afternoon Hadi came to help with my script revision. He came every day according to his promise. In just three days, my second chapter was completed and it could be handed over to my guidance lecturer for review.
What good have I done in my life to get a girlfriend like this? I'm very happy, but I'm getting worried on the other side. There was no news of the woman who slept with him. Not knowing what the enemy was planning was an extremely irritating position. The more days I became concerned about our relationship.

Meanwhile in a room~
A girl was walking back and forth beside the bed. He occasionally glanced at his watch, then turned his head towards the bathroom door that was left open. The box he was holding was smashed into his free hand to reduce worry.
The other girl who was in the bathroom just leaned leisurely in the sink. She tidied her hair and tied it behind her head forming a ponytail. Satisfied with her reflection in the mirror, she smiled and tidied up all her makeup that was near the sink.
“How much longer do we have to wait?” ask the first girl impatiently.
The girl who was in the bathroom looked towards the test kit that was on the side of the sink. “The line has started to appear. You just calm down. My mother is a fertile woman, so I'm sure that I'm just like her. Especially when I was young. You know for yourself many women today who became pregnant when she was a dozen years old.”
“If your mama is that happy, why is her only one child?” the first female tease. “I've got two sisters not as confident as you.”
“Why can't you calm down a little? If our first plan fails, there is always a second plan. We should do the same to him. He and others will not be suspicious, you and I are safe. The proof, until now we are still free, ‘kan? No one suspects us.” The second girl glanced back at the test kit. A smile adorned his face.
“What's up? Why are you smiling?” The first girl immediately entered the bathroom.
“What I said?” The second girl lifted the test kit and showed one side to the first girl. “I must be pregnant. And finally! After all this time there is also a way to be with the young man I have dreamed of all this time!”
“You're not just with him. You're going to marry him! Congratulations to us!” The first girl smiled satisfiedly looking at the two red lines on the pregnancy test kit in her hand.
