"My name is Revalina, just call me Reva."
Arnetta knew after he said that, meaning that his life had changed. In his heart he felt uneasy as well as relieved. The woman is restless if later her existence is easily found by the bad guys, especially Jullian. He was no longer willing to give his life to a man who could have eliminated his life and also his future son. From the beginning, he never wanted a marriage. Freedom is his desire until this very moment.
He deliberately used his last name and did not mention his first name. Luckily, all of his identity cards are still in Jullian's hands. To Patrick, Arnetta had to bow down in thanks for the man's kindness. Whether the man is good or bad, he is no longer a good woman. Jullian and his past have ruined it. Even if he was going to die, at least he knew that his death was not in the hands of his dark past.
"What's wrong?"
The heavy voice jolted Arnetta's daydream. Suddenly he immediately turned to the man who was still loyal to control his wheel with shrewdness. In the quiet and dark streets, only silence crept between the two. There is no music that is usually turned on by car drivers in general.
Arnetta shook his head weakly in response to that question. He could not possibly say that he was worried that his existence would be discovered quickly. He fears that all this is a dream and he will wake up in the same bed, where Jullian often harasses him. There is a new life that promises him and Arnetta is not willing to waste it.
"I'm sorry you're uncomfortable, but I like to drive a car in silence. I often remember what I did." Said a man named Patrick while still driving a car towards his house.
The woman's gaze fell upon Patrick's fingers that had not yet coiled a ring. He had not been so aware of that since. He does not want his relationship with Jullian and Lusi to repeat.
"You're not married yet?"
Patrick was a little surprised to hear the question from the woman. He also looked at the segment of his fingers following the gaze of the woman named Revalina. He also smiled wryly. If finding a life partner is easy, then he is married to the girl of his late mother's choice. Unfortunately, he was not so lucky.
"Yes, you're right. I'm not married and it's probably gonna be tough."
Arnetta turned to look at Patrick. The man next to her is not a criterion that women will avoid. Actually, Patrick is physically attractive. Handsome and charismatic. Plus the sideburns around his jaw add to the masculine impression that makes the man even more attractive. And another extra point, Patrick is not a poor prja. Judging from the car he was riding in, Arnetta knew the man was wealthy. So, how can Patrick judge himself difficult to get married?
"Cannot be. You can get any woman you like."
Patrick chuckled softly at Reva's words. So honest and forthright. Now he was increasingly convinced that the woman he gave this ride was not a woman who had evil intentions. Her innocent words and gaze revealed that Reva said it sincerely.
"really?" His mouth with both eyebrows raised. "Then can I get you as my wife?"
DEG
Arnetta silenced a thousand languages. He immediately decided his gaze with the man and chose to look back at the streets out there that began to look several plots of multi-storey houses. Patrick's words were like he had just thrown a bomb at his heart. It hurts to hear that Patrick put her in the criteria for the woman to be chosen. Despite the utterance it was just nonsense, but she felt that Patrick was inappropriate with a broken woman like her. Various abuse and insults have been received since the past and now she was pregnant out of wedlock after selling her body to Jullian.
Truly, Arnetta felt very inappropriate, even to accept the man's words. Already a good man like Patrick is also getting a good woman.
"Ah, I'm sorry if you're uncomfortable with my words."
Seeing the woman's reaction, Patrick immediately felt unwell. It seems like his words were offending Reva. He did not intend to offend the woman until she refused to look him in the face. Although in the heart of speech it is not just a mere joke.
Arnetta immediately turned his head back towards the man. She nodded slowly while showing her little smile. However, the smile actually implies there is a wound there and Patrick is not blind to see it clearly.
"It's not. It's just that your words make me feel unworthy." Smirked.
"What do you mean?"
Arnetta shook weakly. Patrick can't like it. The man could only respond to her as a maid, nothing more. The man must find another woman, who deserves to be with him. And, Arnetta doesn't fall into that woman's category. He who has been dirty, must begin to realize his position. Can be given a home and a job by Patrick he was already very grateful. At least she knows that she can take good care of her pregnancy compared to having to hang out on the streets.
"I'm very grateful for your offer. Now I have a place to shelter and a job. At least I'm not a tramp."
"I dare not imagine a man wanting a woman like me. Just imagine that I feel so despicable. So, please ... Don't make me dare to break those limits."
Reva's words in piercing Patrick's tribe to make the man immediately silent. Lost the word for the woman's words. How could this woman humble herself like this. Though his heart was already shaking violently with just that woman's smile. But, instead of making Reva leave again from before him, it was better for Patrick not to continue this conversation. Sooner or later he could make this woman go down.
"Ah that's my house."
When the car has entered the elite residential area, Arnetta is presented with a view of a row of luxury homes that line each other neatly. Unlike the classic luxury house that Jullian and himself occupy. The house before him was more like an elite housing in a modern style. Until Patrick's car stops at one of the houses, Arnetta knows that they have reached their destination.
Both of them immediately went down as soon as the car entered through the automatic fence controlled by the man through the remote in his hand.
"Welcome to our house."
Arnetta was flabbergasted by the row of five luxury cars parked in the courtyard of this house. He did not understand why rich people are happy to buy a car without any intention to use it. There is absolutely no visible dust stuck there even though these cars are only covered by the roof of the canopy.
"There's a lot of your car." He said while watching four-wheeled vehicles lined up there. "Do you want to open a dealership?"
Patrick chuckles. "No. I'm happy to collect it."
Reva gave a wry smile to the man. "You rich people seem confused as to what to throw money for."
Patrick still laughed at Reva's words, which he found very funny. For people who just know each other, it seems like the two do not take long to get closer. And Patrick doesn't seem to have to fight too hard to melt the woman's inner hurt feelings.

In another house, a man cannot hide his anger. His jaw hardened when he did not find the figure he was looking for. How surprised he and the child to find their home the arrival of people who did not expect his presence.
Initially Jullian wanted to bring Arnetta to do the fitting of the wedding dress that he would wear in a matter of days again. However, to his surprise he found a woman he no longer wanted to see was struggling in the kitchen with the new servants and Mary, who was looking at him with anxiety.
Arif, the child, immediately ran to his room without intending to greet the woman who had given birth to him into that world. The little girl's hateful gaze on the woman did not make the mature woman tremble. The rows of teeth seen in her sweet smile showed her already victorious over this cold war.
"I've prepared dinner for you. I hope you like it, my husband."
Jullian grinned in response to his ex-wife's remarks. There seems to be one thing that Lusi does not understand here. They are no longer a couple since the hammer judge cut off their relationship. Even Arif's custody had completely fallen into his hands. There is already a lot of evidence that Susi is not worthy to be his wife and mother Arif. Photographic evidence containing bruises on the child's body has weighed on the woman. Luckily, Jullian did not imprison Lusi and his mother.
"Whatever you cook it will just end up in the trash. Once you're satisfied playing, you can leave my house."
Upon hearing this, Lusi threw the plate at the man even though it only broke in front of Jullian's feet.
"Our house!" His shouting. "Until any time I won't let you go. Especially on Arnetta, that bitch."
With as fast as possible, Jullian immediately moved closer to the woman. His hand gripped the neck of Luci to make the woman rebel to escape. But without mercy, it seems like Jullian wants to make Lusi know how determined she is. Even Maria just kept quiet to see Susi who was suffocated by him.
"Never dare insult a woman who is pregnant with my child. You should know, she, the woman you call a bitch is my wife and also the mother of my children. Even Arif would prefer the woman you call the bitch to you, the woman who obviously gave birth to her. Now who's the bad guy? You or my Arnett?"
Jullian immediately let Lusi go and let the woman slough to the floor while coughing.
"Whatever course of action you take to expel my women, sooner or later you will see our marriage. Tell your mother too, if you still want to live a quiet life then do not try to incite anyone again. I could destroy your father's company that should belong to Arnetta."
