"We've met in the hospital and you know ... I still remember you clearly. Introduce, I'm Patrick."
Arnetta could only look at the man in full search. Absolutely nothing in his mind had ever heard of that name, though he knew that he had once crossed paths with this familiar face. For now, he can't trust anyone. Just him and his son, no one else.
The man named Patrick knew that the woman in front of him could not easily trust a stranger who had just met. Especially in his eyes implied many wounds lodged in this woman. At least he knew that the woman he had been looking for was in good condition. It was clear that his body contained also the casual dress he was wearing instead of the vagrant clothes.
All this time he always thought about how the condition of the woman he last met in a poor state in the hospital a few months ago. And now like a dream, God seemed to have granted his prayers to meet him again.
"Okay, maybe you forgot." His word. He himself saw the woman off the street on this cold night. "Where are you going?"
Arnetta who heard the question immediately attached his grip to the small bag he was carrying. The only thing he had brought from the beginning went into Jullian's house until he finally had to get out of it. Perhaps the only thing the man gave her was the clothes she was wearing. Arnetta himself did not know the company of all his clothes. He also knew that Jullian had burned down his residence with his mother.
Mournfully. Remembering it again makes Arnetta have to feel the weight in his heart when considering Jullian has destroyed a place full of memories of his and his late mother. If the house had not been razed to the ground, Arnetta would now know where to go. His cruel world was like it did not want him to calm down at this moment. Now all that's left is the child in the womb.
"Hey?"
Arnetta turned her eyes to Patrick. He himself knew that at this moment he only had plans to leave, but had nowhere to go. The bus that took him all day had reached the last lane. If the man asks where he is going, then Arnetta herself does not know what to answer.
"Not knowing." Her great-grandson slowly lowered her head onto the asphalt road that featured her legs that were only wearing house slippers. Sooner or later his legs will be full of blisters due to being too tired to walk.
In the end the man understood that the woman in front of him had nowhere to go. The look of his face full of sadness and wounds made him suddenly filled. This woman is so fragile and she dares to guarantee that she is not a bad person. Thousands of human characters have been discovered. As a psychologist at least Patrick is quite capable of judging a person only once. Especially for someone who has been disturbing his sleep.
While scratching his nape, Patrick began to offer an offer that he himself was surprised to come out of his lips. "W-You want to come with me?"
Hearing the offer, Arnetta instantly inched back. He increasingly tightened his embrace with his small bag. He had heard the same offer before. He heard the intention to help him, but it turned out to contain suffering. Together Jullian has taught Arnetta that there is not a single good person in this world without a specific purpose.
"T-No! I don't want to!" Arnetta answered almost screaming. He almost ran if Patrick hadn't straightened this out sooner.
"No! I mean, you can stay with me. You can work for me. I need a household assistant anyway. That's even if you're willing and feel I'm not condescending." Patrick said as soon as possible. He could not let this woman go alone.
Arnetta was still silent in place, digesting the offer. This man named Patrick could have been a sincere man, deliberately to offer him a job. Without thinking and finding out more, Patrick easily offered her a job. Instead of her being suspicious, it should be Patrick who suspects obscure intrusions like her.
Since returning to Indonesia, all his belongings have not been taken out of his small suitcase and all his belongings are hidden by Jullian. He hated to admit that he was happy that the man hid all his identity cards, because he could hide himself without having to fear being found. For now, a house is the solution. He has no destination where he should go and Patrick's offer is like a breath of fresh air for him.
Could this be the answer to all his prayers to God?
Can he begin to breathe a sigh of relief and assume all his sadness during this time will be over?
Honestly, he was nervous. Patrick is worried that Arnetta feels he has just been humbled by his offer. No other idea came to his mind other than that reason. If he offered her a free place to live, she knew Arnetta would run away in fear. It can be examined if Arnetta does not fully trust him.
"Am I going to be given a place to stay?" Tanya Arnetta was nervous.
Patrick nodded in spirit. "If you want to stay in my house as a housekeeper, then I will gladly accept. But if you have your own place to live, you can come every day at work hours that we can discuss."
Yes, as much as possible Patrick will negotiate until finally he no longer lost track of this woman.
Arnetta started to raise her face and looked at the man with a gaze full of happiness. If this man will be willing to take it, then Arnetta does not need a salary. He does not need money as long as he can eat and sleep without having to pay.
"I'll also get breakfast, lunch, afternoon and evening?" Ask again, which this time has begun to imagine the spirit of his life later.
Patrick chuckled softly. She was happy, this woman welcomed her offer with pleasure. He did not need to rack his brain to say what other reason to persuade him. "of course. If you need a snack you will get. And salary ..."
Arnetta stepped forward to approach Patrick. His smile was glistened in the middle of my tired-looking face and his eye bags were almost blackened. "I don't need a salary! As long as I am not hungry, hot and hungry, I will work as your domestic assistant. I'll obey all your orders and I won't mess with you."
"Son, we're safe now. We will no longer starve and rain." said Arnetta inwardly stroking his gut feeling as he looked back at the figure of Patrick who today became his god of help.
Patrick felt something blooming in his stomach as he watched the beautiful smile from the woman. Suddenly the world stopped spinning and just centered on the woman. He knew that the moment seemed to stop around him and the feeling he had long forgotten was now present when the smile was able to knock on the door of his heart.
Perhaps too soon he interpreted this feeling, but he clearly understood what was happening to his heart. God reunited himself with this woman to ascertain what foreign feelings had been in his heart.
"Thank you Mr. Patrick. I gladly accept your offer." Arnetta said as she extended her hand. His heart felt light when he knew tomorrow he would wake up in a house and know that tomorrow he could eat without having to fear hunger.
Patrick immediately welcomed the tiny hand and shook it. Just at that moment, he was increasingly convinced that the invisible electricity had succeeded in clearly interpreting this strange feeling.
"Welcome to work with me, Miss ..."
Arnetta immediately thought fast. It won't open up anyone from the past to look for it. Only he and his son will soon be born in his life. And maybe additional Patrick as his new employer.
"My name is Revalina, just call me Reva."
From this moment on the man already knew his heart would braze a name automatically. Reva, it looks like this guy named Patrick fell in love at first sight.
