Episode 01's

The atmosphere of the city today seems quieter than usual, probably because the hours of work have passed a few hours ago. Not to mention only a few people who use private vehicles, the rest are flocking to public transportation such as buses and trains.

The red light that had stopped a luxury car brand lexus LS also changed its color to green, letting the black car go at full speed along with the raindrops that began to fall soaked the paved streets and the rest of the city.

Seen some people who run around looking for shade to save themselves from the rain that is getting heavier, the, but the luxury car did not lower its speed even a little until the driver saw a little girl running across the road without paying attention to the surroundings.

The man quickly stepped on the brakes of his car when he saw the girl fall because he was shocked by the sound of the car horn being sounded by her.

“Did I hit him?” The man muttered in panic as he rushed down from his car to confirm the condition of the little girl who was almost hit by him.

But he was so far from my car.. Did he pass out? His mind wondered while crouched beside the girl and noticed the look of his face that looked messy with puffy eyes and some abrasions on his hands and feet.

“Arrgh... Why did he have to faint in front of my car like this? troublesome,” said he felt furious himself while holding the girl and put her in the car by lying her on the back bench.

Then the man rushed into his car and drove him to his residence. Her clothes were already drenched due to the rain that drenched her as she ascertained the condition of the girl she was helping.

“Now that I'm really in trouble, I can't go home with my mom. Taking her to the hospital should also be turning direction, I was forced to take her to my house ..” He muttered while watching the little girl who had not been conscious in the back bench through the reflection of the rearview mirror of his car.

Arriving at a two-story mansion, he immediately called a male servant to bring down the girl he almost hit from his car.

“Young master? What's wrong with your clothes? Why are your clothes wet like this?” Ask a maid who has welcomed her arrival in her house.

“Hana, please call a doctor and prepare warm water for me.” The man replied that he did not want to say much while taking off the ash suit he was wearing and giving it to the maid in front of him.

“Sorry sir ...” The voice of the male servant carrying a little girl on his lap made the red-haired man glance at her while sighing tiredly.

“Bring the child to the guest room, all of them change their clothes in dry clothes.” Clearly while continuing his journey towards his private room, while the servant was walking in the opposite direction to the red-haired man.

Soon a woman in a white suit entered the man's residence guided by Hana who had finished preparing warm water for the host. The waiter took the doctor to the guest room where the little girl was.

“You've arrived?” The voice of a red-haired man entered the guest room after finishing cleaning himself and changing his clothes with the casual clothes he was wearing.

The man seemed to be circulating his gaze throughout the room, looking for the whereabouts of his two servants.

"I kicked them out." The white-clothed woman said knowing her thoughts.

"Why should you throw him out?" He muttered while scratching his nape and walking towards the sofa by the window of the room.

“I just asked them to prepare dinner, besides who is this child Arsel?” Clearly while paying attention to the little girl who had already finished being examined by him.

“I found it on the road.” The man replied as he threw his body onto the sofa and let out a tired sigh.

“You didn't hit him, did you?” Asked the woman glanced sharply at him.

“Ti–no .. well–hampir.” He nodded as he turned his face out of the window to avoid eye contact with the doctor.

“But I didn't hit him, was the wound serious?” He then sounded panicked and immediately got up from his sitting position.

“No, but ... something is wrong with his lungs.” Clearly the woman looked worried about the health condition of the little girl before her.

“It looks like a congenital disease,” he replied while packing his things, “This is the recipe, you can buy it in the pharmacy.” He continued walking towards the door after giving the recipe to Arsel.

“Aaa!” Shouted Arsel stopped the steps of the white-clothed woman.

“You can wake him up stupid!” The woman's words spontaneously hit Arsel's back with the bag she was carrying, making the man scream in pain.

“Sorry-sorry ...” Unfortunately while folding both palms under his chin and reviewing the thin smile on the woman.

“Quickly redeem the medicine.” His words again stepped his feet intending to leave the house Arsel. But quickly the man pulled the doctor's hand and the woman stopped.

“Take a good look at that boy Wanda, doesn't he remind you of someone?” He immediately spoke up to reduce the annoyance of women in front of him that was clearly visible on his face.

He stopped his steps twice. He was definitely upset with that man.

“I don't care, let go of that hand. I got a lot of work today.” His words immediately went away after the man let go of his hand, noticing the departure of the doctor from before him.

Basic Wanda, can't she be friendly with me? His mind looked back at the little girl before him.

“Hem .. he really reminds me of someone. What might he–“ Mumbamnya stopped when he heard a soft moan from the child, quickly the man was sitting next to his bed.

Soon the little girl opened her eyes, blinked them a few times and immediately woke up from her lying position when she saw a red-haired man watching her with a serious look beside him.

Then the unfamiliar atmosphere of the room made the girl feel a little frightened and rushed to pull the blanket in front of her, covering part of her face from the man.

Arsel who was fascinated by the girl's beauty could only gawk at her long black hair, and turned to the purple eyeballs that the little girl had.

“Not wrong again, this child is her little version of Helen. But her hair color ...” He murmured while bringing his face closer to the face of the little girl.

Waitaminute! Did you ever say you had a child with that woman? Inner wonders.

“Di–where am I?” The little girl's voice sounded trembling, “Pa–who's this guy?” He continued to raise his blanket close to his eyes to cover his fear.

“He? Me?” Asked the man to distance himself from the girl's face, it seemed like he realized the purple-eyed girl's fear before him.

“I was the one who saved you on the road when you passed out in front of my car.” He continued explaining while folding both his hands over the chest of his field.

Almost hit you–actually, but I can't say that. His mind justifies his words that are not in line with his heart.

“Saving me?” He muttered while lowering the blanket on his face, “Ah yes, I was on my way home.” He continued while remembering himself who was running on the road because it suddenly rained.

Look how beautiful this girl is. Arsel's mind did not listen to the girl's words and instead was fixated on her beautiful face, thin lips with round eyes and nose that was capable of hypnotizing an adult man like him.

“A–anu ..” The girl's voice breaks down her daydream.
