"I'll do anything for my family, sir. I'm sure I can do whatever Mr. Richard asks of me."
It was still warm in Richard's mind all the sentences in a pleading tone were spoken from the mouth of a girl with the look of the village.
A moment later Richard seemed to compare what happened in his life.
Richard's life may be considered very luxurious. He can buy whatever he wants without fear of tomorrow will eat with what side dishes.
"Am I that famous, huh? To the extent that the village girl could find out about me. Is family very important? Why would he have such thoughts? The reckless hick girl. It could be that he was just walking from the other side of the village," Richard muttered still thinking about the girl who had suddenly come to his office.
At the time, Richard was not in the office. He was late because he had to accompany his mother to go to the market. That is how his mother will ask him for anything without caring whether it is too late or not he came to his office.
After all the drama made by the Mother, it turns out that the new drama must be witnessed again by Richard.
Just as her luxury car pulled up on the porch of her office, a girl in shabby clothes was seen being held by two of her office guards.
The girl looked rebellious but was simply ignored by Richard. He wanted to get through the drama but quickly, he was intercepted by the girl.
After a long time Richard watched his security debate with the girl finally Richard decided to stop all the drama.
He was forced to take the girl with him, introgating what it meant by the arrival of the shabby girl to his office.
Just as he had thought, the girl had come to ask him for money.
He is like those who come to him. However, for some reason this time Richard felt something was different.
From the looks of it, it was the girl who was earnestly asking for Richard's help. All is evident, when the girl said she would do anything for the needs of her family.
Richard did not want to pay attention to it but the insistence of the girl who never stopped making Richard finally relented.
He just agreed with the words of the girl by filing some requirements.
Without reading it first, the girl immediately agreed and signed the agreement file written manually by Richard.
But there is a seal that signifies the validity of the covenant.
Can't bear to let the woman go home alone in a state that has been almost called a madman. Richard asked for the girl's home address.
It just so happened that Richard had an appointment to conduct a survey in an area not far from the village where the girl lived. And so, Richard took the girl.
As per the agreement that has been made, he also suddenly gave some goods and needs that the girl needed.
"Is there something with you, Richard? Why do you have to think about that girl? You obviously have nothing to do with that girl. Why should you even bother helping him? Ah, nevermind. Why am I thinking about that village girl. It would be better if I thought about what I did to the girl who would become my slave. I won't give him money for free. There should be a reward the girl did for retaliating against him," murmured Richard developing a grin on his face.
As if he was ready to do whatever he wanted to tell the girl, tomorrow.

Riko smiled before hugging her sister tightly.
"Thank you, Ana. I'm really happy to be back in school again. Sister Ana is the best!" said Riko gave two thumbs at once for the brother.
Ana was chuckling lightly for a long time the happy face was not seen by Ana. His heart warmed as his family no longer complained and looked as bad as it had been a while ago.
Although it was for all the happiness on her family's face, Ana had to pay for it all at the expense of her happiness.
It didn't seem like a big deal to Ana.
Provided that the family economy can improve and no longer be looked down on by neighbors around. Ana felt like she was happy enough too.
"Yes, now you sleep fast, yes. Tomorrow is the first day you go to school again. Tomorrow too Sister Ana will show us our new home. You are the spirit to learn it. Don't be lazy to learn, okay?" said Ana which made Riko nod her head in excitement.
Ana also moved from her position intending to get out of her sister's room. Just as Ana was about to leave, a middle-aged woman found by Ana had already shed tears of sorrow.
Hurriedly Ana approached her, shaking her small head as if to disagree with the woman's sobbing behavior as now.
"Mom, these tears have been flowing enough all this time. These tears of sorrow can no longer come out. The creator has now allowed us to get out of that difficult time. So, I can no longer believe it. There can only be a smile on this beautiful face," Ana said with teary eyes.
Bu Sri also quickly removed the trace of tears. He nodded his head before Ana drove him to the bed that was just covered in mats.
Ana held back her sobbing. Which child is able to see the Mother who has been taking care of him all this time actually sleeps in a place that is not feasible like now.
Ana actually felt a dagger as if it was sharpening in her heart. Yes, but now Ana has promised herself that she will never let her family suffer again.
He will do anything to change the economic condition of his family. Anything.
"It's the last day we're in this sad place huh, ma'am. Ana promises after this, Ana will not let our family suffer again. Ana will do anything for the happiness of the same mother Riko. The two of you are the reason why Ana is still breathing until now," Ana murmured her tears.
Shortly after she wrapped her mother in her thin sheath, Ana left.
He walked towards the old wooden table. Take that old-fashioned Nokia-branded phone.
Ana then pressed every letter in her row. Sometimes, the phone can die on its own.
But with full patience. Ana still tried to press the letter to compose a sentence.
[Tomorrow come home. I waited for you. Thanks to you, everything is going right back.]
He wrote with a strange smile.
