Seeking helpers

"She said to go to the toilet, why don't you go back to class?" ask Jenni.

Currently, Seline, Jenni, Vino and Lily were already in the cafeteria. As for his other friends, it seemed like their class was not over yet. They promised to always rest and eat together in the cafeteria if there was time. And if they do not have free time because of the busy lecture, they will notify through group chat.

Sighing deeply, "my stomach hurt. That's why I'm so late for class."

"Again the moon?" ask Lily.

"Yep. That's it." Answer Seline.

"Why didn't you say that? I can buy you pain medication." Jenni started nagging.

"I'm okay. It's also now light." Answer Seline as she is.

"Wouldn't you please let me go home?" asked Vino, the only man sitting there.

"No need. I'm really feeling better." Seline.

"Oh yeah, can I ask you a favor?" Seline.

"Solicit what please?" ask Lily enthusiastically.

Because even though they are friends and Lily already considers Seline as his best friend, Seline rarely open to him. Seline trusts Lina more than she or Jenni.

"Emm. I need a security assistant for my house. Do you have any acquaintances?"

"I really want to have security that can be used as a driver." Seline.

"How many people do you need?" ask Jenni.

"One female maid is one security, that's enough." Seline.

After all, Seline's house is not big enough to need many helpers. One maid was enough as Seline's friend to clean the house. And to eat, Seline can cook by herself. He's been used to doing anything himself since his parents died a year ago.

"What if you take one of my helpers? My mom wouldn't mind if one of her aides took it." Lily offers a solution.

Seline shook her head, "Eh, no need. I'm looking for a regular maid. Besides, I can only give enough salary." said Seline who felt unable to pay a maid like Lily's parents. Because Lily is a high-class kid, unlike her middle-class self.

"Look easy time. Later let the mother who remains the salary of the maid as usual. So you don't need to be confused about salary, how?" ask Lily who still does not give up.

Seline shakes. Come on, he doesn't want to use his best friend. Lily is good. Since the first girl on the party is very good for everyone. But Seline's shy. She used to distrust the kindness of Lily and Jenni to make her trust only one Lina.

"If I may give you some advice." Vino started the conversation.

"Gue there are acquaintances who need work. He's husband and wife. She usually works as a maid and driver. If you want, I can get to know them."

"Lo value first. They are so old. But if it's a matter of loyalty, they can really keep their trust very well." Said Vino already like a salesman who was promoting his product.

Seline seemed to think, should she entrust the matter of the maid to Vino? Considering Vino is still gray to him. Vino is Gavin's best friend. Although he has known Vino since the days of High School, but it can not be denied if Vino could be a "person" Gavin.

"Emm. okay. But I looked at them first yes, matching or not the same criteria from me." Seline.

"Sip. I'll let you know when they'll meet you soon." Vino Final.

They continued their lunch. Before long, Lina, Gavin and Marvin join them. Gavin even immediately tells Jenni to move and start sitting next to Seline to make Jennie curse Gavin by saying if Gavin is a love slave.

Ah, if only Jenni knew what was going on.

......................

"So my girl is in need of a maid and driver and security?" ask someone from behind the phone.

"Yes, sir."

"Well, tomorrow morning one of my maids and bodyguards will come to his house."

"Good, Sir. I'll tell you." Said the man.

"good. Any more important news about my girl?" ask the employer from behind the phone.

The man seemed to think, "i don't know if it's important or not. But I accidentally saw that Miss was crying in a deserted garden while her class was going on."

"Crying?! Does it have anything to do with her son of a bitch?"

"Hahhh. yes already. Keep an eye on my girl. If you can, find out what made her cry alone."

"Good, Sir. I'll try."

The call ended. The man could only take a long breath. After that he came out of the lonely warehouse and stepped as usual.

......................

"You wanna stop by for a bite to eat, honey?" tanya Gavin clasped Seline's hand.

"Go home. My stomach is still uncomfortable." Answer Seline.

"All right."

Gavin started driving his car at a moderate speed.

"Dear." Call Gavin to Seline who was busy staring out the window.

"Yes?" answer Seline without interest.

"What if we live together?"

Seline reflexively turned her head and looked at Gavin who was also glancing at her at this moment.

"Why am I living together?" ask Seline.

"I've just been in love with my new apartment. And papa said the apartment was for both of us." Gavin.

"So, will ya, stay with me?"

"At any time soon we're getting married, there's no harm in trying to live together first? Learn to live both." Gavin tries to persuade Seline.

Seline remembers conversations like this happening exactly as they used to. Gavin used to ask her to stay together for the same reason, learning to live together before marriage.

If so, Seline gladly accepts Gavin's invitation. Even at night, Seline moved into Gavin's apartment without further ado.

Once Seline did not know if when she was living in Gavin's apartment, the man instead asked to sell Seline's house. But now Seline realizes that if she follows Gavin's advice to live together, she will lose her parents' estate.

"Sorry, Gavin. But we'll never get married. So we don't have to simulate being husband and wife by living together."

"Sorry, dear." Seline.

"But I don't want to leave my parents' house. We'll live together when we're married." Further.

Srrr!!!

The car suddenly stops because Gavin brakes suddenly. Luckily, both of them wear seat belts so that neither head hit.

"Seline, don't be so holy!"

"After all, even if we live together, I won't want to touch another man's ex." Hisses Gavin.

Seline was surprised by the aura Gavin gave off. Honestly, he's scared. She was just a little girl who was given a chance to live twice by God. But still, he was alone in a world this big.

"Emm. b-don't you, honey."

"You know that I'm never far from that house? I'm just not ready to leave the house that I've been in since I was a baby. Too many memories in that house with my parents."

"Darling, do you understand my fear?" Seline asked, trying to show her the face as blank as possible. Wishing the man would melt with the look in his eyes.

Gavin let out a long sigh, "Alright. But instead, tomorrow we have dinner outside. There is no rejection!"

Seline nodded in understanding. He has to think about what he will do tomorrow, considering that when dinner happens, Gavin will ask for something more than just living together.

That's what his memory used to be.

"*Come, Seline. Think on."

"Lord, give me the strength to be able to defend what my parents gave me*."
