Alison felt very relieved when she set foot in her room. The cramped room in the shabby building felt to provide protection for him behind the dull walls. The same protection he felt as Lucius' arm clenched his shoulder and guided him back to the room.
After laying Alan on the bed, Ally sat down on the floor and placed her head on the bed next to Alan. Finished his tranquility in this city, he was definitely no longer able to work on Madam Gavany. Carloz would go back to find him and Alan, then arrest him.
"Tell me who they are, Ally."
Lucius sat on a chair in the corner of the room. Staring at the closed Ally with her head drooping on the bed.
The girl opened her eyes, Lucius was back in the face of the eyes that fascinated her. But sadness looks wrapped tightly in both eyes.
"What am I supposed to do now, Lucius?" sad whispers.
"Tell me, Ally. You have to trust me. I'll help you as much as I can, Ally." Lucius said in a persuasive tone. Hope Allynya isn't too stubborn.
Then flow the story of life full of sadness that passed by the girl. Her happiness was cut off since her father died, a few years later, her mother remarried with great hopes for her new husband. But not the happiness they get, the man only adds to the hardships and sorrows in their lives. Only Alan was a good thing that the man had ever given them.
Ally told him everything, including her problems that would be left to Mr. Rico, as well as about Carloz who began to ponder him to make him determined to escape.
Lucius listened with a stifled rage. He's moving his molars. He had already seen Carloz, the cowardly bloated man who had fled during the fight. Then the name of Rico the owner of the vineyard and the plantation area mentioned by Ally, Lucius knew the area. Because it borders the property of the Sanchez family. And if the estimate is correct, the Rico that Ally refers to is Enrico Costra. Owner of a large estate who wants to buy his property.
Ally wiped away the tears that she had not realized had melted. He looked tiredly at Lucius.
"You know Ally ... You and I did not coincidentally meet .. but it was outlined by God. I hope you'll trust me to take care of everything. Come with me Ally, you can't work at Madam's. Carloz will catch you if you stay here."
Lucius feels that everything is destiny that has been outlined, he was robbed and found by the girl, the girl helped him coincide with the arrival of the stepfather who will arrest the brothers. Then Lucius thought of the offer of his land from the billionaire vineyard man who made him come to the country, the man who turned out to be the landlord who was waiting to make Ally his mistress.
Ally looked at Lucius long ago, not answering Lucius' words and invitations, then those eyes slowly closed.
"I'm tired, Lucius," he whispered softly. Lucius' heart was filled and felt sliced. He got up from his seat and sat down next to the girl with his back against the body of the bed opposite to Ally who was facing the bed.
"Actually I came here because I have a job to do, Ally. My master told me to check the state of one of his lands, about 2 to three hours away from this city," Lucius stared into Ally's face. The girl opened her eyes as Lucius began to speak.
"I wait for my head to recover, and I'll just go there. The plan is to leave tomorrow. If you want, I can take you and Alan. The hostess and mistress of the house in the land were old enough, the help of another girl there would definitely be of great help to them, nor would they mind Alan's presence, either, in fact it would be nice because there would be children in that house ... You'll receive a decent salary. So you won't feel like hitchhiking, you'll work and earn a wage,"
Lucius' lengthy explanation made Ally rise from the bed. He stared deeply into Lucius' black eyes.
"I know we just met. But I swear I'm not a bad guy, Alison ... If I want to be evil, I've been doing this since the first night I stayed in your room ...."
Alison blinked, Lucius' offer felt like a way out for her.
"I know you're not a bad guy. But ... are you really sure that the landowner will let me work there with Alan?"
"That's why you don't have to worry. One of my duties there, besides checking Mr. Lance's estate, was to find someone to accompany the elderly husband and wife of Marselini, their daughter was married and went to live with her husband. So you must be very much needed there."
Lucius sighed inwardly as he uttered one lie about the landowner.
"Lance .. is that your boss's name?" ask Ally.
Lucius nodded.
"Where is he?"
"He didn't scold you?"
"No .. He's a good man. I called him and told him that if I got robbed and got hurt in the head it would take some time to recover. He understood and instead sent me some money so I wouldn't have to take a public bus to his land. I can rent a car for tomorrow,"
"Then why don't you find a better place to stay Lucius? instead of recuperating in this cramped room, if your boss has already sent you money, why don't you just look for a motel?"
Lucius smiled broadly, "You want me to answer honestly?" ask Lucius.
Ally nodded her head.
"I didn't leave because I didn't want to leave you. This room is empty until midnight. You and Alan were at the restaurant from morning until midnight. I can only see you when you guys get home ...."
"Why do you care about us, Lucius? We're strangers to you ...."
"Now not anymore, Alison. I already know you. I know you're a strong, independent girl. But take this hand. Let me help you this time. In return you helped me back then, without thinking about whether I was a stranger, or maybe a criminal with all the scars on my body, you were not afraid, you still brought me in ...."
"I'd love to believe, Lucius. Can I really trust you ? for my life and Alan ...."
"Surely Ally ... Carloz won't be able to touch you and Alan. Also that guy named Rico, he can dream of making you his lustful, but keep my promise Ally ... Landlord Rico won't be able to touch a single strand of your hair before he passes me. You have to believe, I'll take care of you and Alan from now on."
Those words made Ally's tears come back. I don't know since when the last time anyone was willing to take care of him. Perhaps since the death of his father, he never again had anyone to protect him, and on the contrary, he was the protector of his mother and sister.
"Thank you Lucius .. I hope tomorrow you won't change your mind,"
Lucius stretched out his hand, wiping away Ally's tears.
"No will! I promise,"
Ally nodded, she was very tired and her emotions drained. He closed his eyes after putting his head back on the bed.
"No ... Don't sleep like that, Ally. Go up to Alan's side. Your body will hurt. Sleep properly ...."
Lucius rose and lifted Ally's shoulders. The girl did not resist, Lucius knew Ally was already very tired, he helped Ally lie down and envelop her.
"Sleep ..and don't think of anything else. I'll get everything done for you .. You just have to believe ...."
Lucius kissed the half-asleep girl on the forehead, and she moved onto the carpet that had been the bedbed for several nights in the room.
