Scarlet pensively looked at the young man sleeping by her side. As a result of the medicine given by the doctor, Samuel fell asleep. The red patches on the arms were not as visible as Samuel had said. Scarlet even looked at Samuel's neck because she saw a red spot, but it was no more.
Scarlet's eyes still fell off of Samuel's face, her fingers wanting to touch Samuel's forehead but not because she was afraid to disturb him. Of all the people Samuel had met, why him? He still remembered when they met at the restaurant back then. He really did not expect that if the accidental meeting changed his destiny of course what changed him was Darien's invitation but now, now, he will change it because his life is his even though he does not know what will happen to them next.
Scarlet got off the bed slowly, suddenly she wanted to go home to the orphanage to see the children there and also the nurse who had found herself. He thought Samuel couldn't be angry because he was sleeping. Scarlet changed her clothes first and after that she left a message if she wanted to go to the orphanage for a while. He asked Samuel not to look for him.
An orphanage became a goal. He grew up there because he was found as an infant by the abbot who ran the orphanage. Scarlet rode public transport to get there due to the considerable distance. After using the train, she took the bus to arrive at the orphanage and after a few hours, Scarlet was already standing in front of the orphanage.
He hadn't been home for a long time, he really missed that place. Nothing had changed except the ownership of the parlour because he remembered that Samuel had once said that he had bought the orphanage. Now she had to be kind as her pet so that the orphanage where she grew up did not run into any problems. Let him be a ja*ang for a moment for the good of all the residents of the orphanage.
The chief nurse, who found herself old, was sickened as she left. Somehow, he hopes to be okay. Scarlet stepped in while thinking, after her contract with Samuel was done it seemed like she had to go home to become a nun at the parlour. But he's dirty, is he still worth it?
"Scarlett?" a nurse called him.
"Suster Mary!" Scarlet ran over and hugged the nun she had known since childhood.
"Oh my God, it's true you. Why don't you come back and why don't you tell me?"
"Sorry, Sister. I've been having a lot of trouble the last few days."
"Is everything okay?"
"Of course, I'd like to meet Sister Agnes. Is he in good health?" scarlet asked because she had come to see the head nurse.
"Sister Agnes' condition is not good. Maybe after meeting you, he'll be back to health. Anyway she was looking for you so come with me, "suggest sister Maria.
Scarlet nodded, she had indeed not returned for a long time. He also did not give any news due to being busy. Sister Agnes was surprised to see him back and like a mother and child who had not met for a long time, they embraced while crying to let go of longing.
"Bad girl, after leaving why don't you ever come back? Not even tidings, have you forgotten about us?"
"Sorry, sister. I'm enjoying my time too much."
"Now there's a new problem remember with us. That so?"
"No, not so!" scarlet replied when in reality it was.
"Alright, come. There's a lot I want to talk to you about," Sister Agnes asked.
"I heard that someone was about to seize the land of this home, is it true?" he wanted to know if what Samuel said was true or not.
"From the news," the lie. Let no one know what is going on with him right now.
"Come, there's a lot I want to talk about" Sister Agnes asked Scarlet to sit down and she asked Sister Maria to make a drink.
"Listen, at that time the parlour land became a dispute because it was about to be sold by its owner. We're trying to appeal because there's a lot of kids we have to fight for but you know the power of the rich, we've lost a lot. We had no power whatsoever so inevitably we had to move but who would have guessed, God sent a good young man who bought all the land that was here. Not only that, all land ownership already belongs to the orphanage completely. Out of nowhere the young man came, he just came and went."
"Did the nurse know what her name was?" even if he knew, he just wanted to make sure.
"The young man didn't say it, he just looked around without saying anything let alone he sent someone to clear things up and after that, we never saw him again."
Scarlet did not ask any more, truly a strange young man. There was no way Samuel would spend a lot of money just to threaten him to be willing and obedient. He didn't know Samuel, but for what? Eventually they will split up later.
"When you come, I have something to tell you."
"What is that, Sister? Sister Maria said someone was looking for me, who?"
"That's what I'm about to say but what you're looking for isn't necessarily you. We're just guessing because of that birthmark on your back."
"What's with my birthmark? I intend to eliminate it because it is ugly!" scarlet.
"Wouldn't you do, birthmarks indicate identity so don't get rid of. If our guess is correct, it's likely that the one looking for you is one of your family members. If you lose it, then that person will have a hard time recognizing you."
"I don't care about it, sister. It must have been a coincidence because the one with the birthmark wasn't just me. No one's been looking for me all this time, so don't trust strangers so easily let alone a photo can be engineered."
"I also thought so because the photo she showed was much different from you when I found you in front of the parlour."
"That's why don't trust anyone, sister. It could be a bad person so if anyone comes again, just say no and no. The child who has no origin like me, can be used easily because many criminals pretend to be family to carry out their crimes. Anyway I'm not thirsty for affection, I've had you guys a long time ago and that's enough!"
"All right, what you said is true. Decades have passed, it is very strange that someone is looking for you now. What about your life right now, is it okay? When are you getting married?"
"Sure, I'm not thinking of getting married. I'm planning on going back in two years, but this is just a plan."
"I will support whatever you do but enjoy your life well. I wish you were married so you could have a family."
"I've got you guys" said Scarlet. He used to dream of getting married and having some children but now, that dream is no longer there. After the betrayal given by Darien, he no longer wants to love anyone but himself and he will enjoy his life and do whatever he wants. At least he won't be hurt anymore due to the breakup and betrayal.
