"In one of my houses, there's no need to worry, you're safe here" said Daren, who knew Greciella wanted to get off. He immediately helped her.
Greciella felt her legs limp as she stepped onto the cold floor. Why does his body feel so powerless, how long has he been in this bed?
"How long have I been in care?" Ask Graciella.
"This is your eighth day in the care, slowly, must be very difficult to walk now," said Daren holding Graciella's hand. What Daren said was true. Greciella felt stiff to walk.
"really? What happened to me that I had to be treated for so long?" Graciella. She really can't remember why she had to be like this? This wound was just like he could get?
"You ... accidentally fell into a river and we found you stuck in a tree trunk," Daren brainwashed to find out why. Can't be too far from the real thing.
"And this wound is because of that?"
"Yes, maybe hit by a twig or something sharp," said Daren, who again helped Graciella to sit on the edge of her bed. His feet could not be compromised.
"Oh, it's worth it, thanks for your help. I must have troubled you too, you must accept and take care of me here" Graciella said.
"Not really, Laura who's more here, this is my home but I don't live here. That's why I'm suggesting you be treated here" Daren said.
"When we first met, didn't you ask me to work at your place? Is it really like that?" Ask Graciella. He was thinking. He remembered he was no longer working in the hospital because he wanted to avoid Adrean. She is now divorced from Adrean. His savings will run out in no time. He's got to find a job.
Then he remembered, It seems like Daren once offered him a job as a private investigator. He thought the job wasn't too bad either. Graciella was just afraid that returning to her initial profession, she was afraid that Adrean would come back to disturb her.
"Yes?! Are you interested now?" Said Daren with his sparkling eyes. Of course he's very happy if a woman as smart as Graciella works with him.
"Yes, um, but I don't have any experience with this," said Graciella, there was a sense of hesitation approaching her. What if he even disappoints, even though Daren has been so good with him.
Daren put on her thinking face, she then looked back at Graciella, it seemed like she knew what to do with Greciella.
"Do you remember I also once offered you to study criminology? What if I offered you back to study it, in return, after graduation, come back here and work for me on a three-year contract. After that you can work somewhere else? Hows it? Will I give you a full scholarship?" Said Daren spirit.
"You really want to give me that scholarship?" Graciella asked, not expecting Daren to be so good. How could he just give Greciella a scholarship.
"Yes, you have a knack for being an investigator. After all, you will be very profitable for my efforts. I'm able to finance all your education, but it looks like you have to study abroad, America for example," Daren said.
"You're serious?" Ask Greciella in disbelief.
"Yes, but remember, contract with me is three years," Daren said again with her sweet, fluffy smile.
"Don't three years, not even a contract in your company for life, I wouldn't mind" Graciella said. She is a woman who loves to learn. Of course it makes him happy and challenged. There will be a lot of new knowledge that he will get.
"So you agree?" Ask Daren again pleased.
"Yes! When can I sign the contract?" Ask Graciella.
"Well, Graciella! All that can be arranged, now all you have to do is heal as soon as possible, the sooner you heal, the sooner you can go to America."
"Well, I'll heal well. Daren, once again thank you," said Graciella, he felt happy in this world surrounded by people who turned out well.
"Together, just rest so that your condition improves," said Daren who finally no longer acts formally.
"Alright," said Graciella smiling.
Daren wanted to continue waiting for Graciella even felt it would make Greciella uncomfortable. Therefore he came out of the room and ordered a female servant to continue to see the state of Greciella by peeking. But somehow she felt quite safe, the current Greciella was very different from the previous Graciella. Laura said, let her live a new life! Graciella deserves a second chance.
...****************...
Stevan is still on his way to his office. Throughout the journey his heart was uncomfortable. How could he let Greciella forget Xavier? But what Laura says is true, but ... what if Xavier comes back and finds out that Greciella doesn't remember him at all and forgets only about herself and Moira?
Suddenly, his phone rang. Stevan frowned looking at his unknown number. At first, Stevan wanted to let it go. But somehow he even pressed the wrong button, wanted to refuse instead to shift it to lift.
"Hello?" The heavy voice sounded. Stevan raised his eyes, it seemed like he knew that voice.
"Xavier! It's Xavier?" stevan asked hurriedly, he even hurriedly pulled his vehicle over.
"Yes! Stevan? Right?!"
"Yes? Why did you just call me, what did they do to you?" Stevan was curious. He believes Xavier can't just be quiet. He must be planning something to get back with Greciella. But ….
"How can I marry Devina? They also forbid me to use a cell phone? Why me?" Xavier.
"What do you mean?" Stevan was confused. Why did Xavier ask him.
"WHAT?!"
"Stevens! I'll call you again! They've come! I have to go!" xavier said in a hurry.
"Xavier! Hola! Xavier!"
But only the tone of the call disconnection was heard. Stevan was silent. Shock at what he just heard. Greciella erased Xavier from his memory and now Xavier says he can't remember anything in the last 4 years? How could?
In shock, Stevan could do nothing. For a few minutes he could only be silent. Whatisthis? What is God's plan for all this? He thought that the memory-lost Greciella would be troublesome, now that Xavier could not remember anything. What then? Were they not meant to be together, so it was better to just forget about each other?
Stevan was so dizzy thinking about it. But it seems better this way, in this way, no one will get hurt again. Xavier's family won't hurt Greciella. Laura's words were right. Let Xavier and Graciella live their new lives.
*******
"Why do you have to move anyway?" Said Laura who was not willing to let her best friend go. He drove Greciella to the airport.
"Yes, instead of you being supposed to be happy, I'm going to study not want war" Greciella said with a smile on her face. The wound had healed, only inflicting a pinkish-colored scarf on his cheek. But Greciella tried to cover it with her hair that she had cut to the shoulder. It certainly makes its appearance fresher
"He's not unwilling, he's just jealous of you because you're going to America and he's just going to stay here" Stevan glanced at Laura who only snorted at this annoying guy. That call was the last time Xavier contacted him. Until now, it's been two months, Xavier came back no news. Whether what they implanted in Xavier's brain, even when Stevan wanted to meet him at the military headquarters, Xavier refused him outright. Everyone Stevan knew was transferred. Stevan no longer has access to the military headquarters.
Graciella laughs at Stevan and Laura's behavior that always doesn't get along.
"This is your passport, visa and ticket" Daren said, bringing all the necessities from Graciella.
"Well, thank you," said Graciella. Daren was like a good brother to her
"Together, getting there will be someone who picks you up and takes you to my apartment, not far from your campus, studying good huh!" daren said with a shady smile.
"Definitely! All right, I have to go in now," Graciella said.
"Alright, take care of yourself!" Laura looked so sad.
"Why crying? I told you Graciella went there to study, you should have brought her with a smile. Miss Graciella, don't forget to call me! I'm gonna miss you!" Stevan says in his style.
"Rather than a playboy like you!"
"Haha, visit me if you go there huh! I must have missed you!" Said Graciella again who immediately went inside the glass door.
"Yes!" Said Laura who waved her hand the loudest. Not willing, but all this time he wants to go to America, why even Graciella? Uh! It's hard being a virgin.
Graciella immediately walked towards the airport waiting room. For him this step is his great step towards a new world. For Greciella now, her darkest life is with Adrean. He will leave all those memories here and will later become a new person.
Graciella went back to check her documents, until she unknowingly ran into some soldiers walking in opposite directions with her.
Graciella just walked straight, as did some of those soldiers. But, after they passed each other, the leader of the army stopped and turned towards Graciella who was walking straight towards her waiting room.
"What's the Commander?" ask Arnold, Xavier's aide.
"No, I just feel ..., no, it doesn't matter, come on right away!" Xavier said firmly. He was already waiting to fly along with his private plane.
Xavier immediately continued on his way. But just as Xavier and his entourage had already started to step away, Greciella turned her head back to look at the back of the man in full service clothes.
There is a familiar but foreign feeling at the same time. Greciella only saw them until they disappeared as they entered a room.
"Call for passengers of XXXX aircraft to American destinations …."
Greciella immediately regained consciousness and immediately went towards the gate where her plane was waiting. New life! Graciella is coming!
