Pov Devya
After my mother left, my father took care of me alone and also took care of the household. Right at the age of 15, my father became seriously ill and it was stated that he only had three months left. Sad? I am very sad and always ask why God made me like this, but I remain positive thinking maybe God made me like this because only I am strong enough to accept this life's test.
If asked, am I still looking for information on my mother's whereabouts? Yes, it happened...
My situation was not fine, looking for work from one shop to another in order to earn money for my father's medical expenses. But, all I got was tiredness and fatigue, willing to rain and heat to find a job, that's all I did in order to find medical expenses for my father.
"Is there still a place where I can feel happiness?"

Standing on the balcony of the mansion breathing in the scent of wet earth looking up at the cloudy clouds that look faintly in the sky, I really like rain, dew and wet soil. Inhaling the scent of wet earth, calms my soul and instantly refreshes my mind. Staring at the overcast clouds above the sky makes my eyes feel very cool looking at him, only in this place I can smile calmly, things like this have become routine for me before living my life full of struggle.
I'm Alex a 23 year old male, continuing my father's company which has four companies in three countries. My father left a chocolate company for me to lead because he believed in the qualities in me that he trusted enough.
"Master, there is a call for you."
He is Mr. Karyo, my personal bodyguard, he has worked with me for three years, he devotes himself very well.
I received a call from who knows what, usually I don't want to receive a call from a dark number but this time I received it because Pak Karyo looked at me with a worried look
"Hello?"
"Alex, how are you kid?"
A familiar voice but makes my heart very soft because it's been a long time I haven't heard that hoarse and sad voice
"Mr Herman."
Mr. Herman, he is a man who I consider as my own father, he is very good to me even when my company is in a slump, he is the first person to reach out his hand to help me until my company is back in a fairly well-known company.
"Son Alex, there's something I want to talk to you about kid."
The feeling of longing and wanting to hug him made me immediately run to get ready to go visit him with my bodyguard, Pak Karyo. Anxiety and longing enveloped my heart, I haven't embraced the person who always makes me calm for a long time, he's the one who has helped me all this time, Mr. Herman, he's the only man who can make me feel calm and strong enough to survive in a harsh world. I took the night to meet him
Mr. Karyo opened the car drawer and took a bottle of medicine, there was a photo stored in the car drawer. It was a photo of a little girl whose hands I held tightly, she was Virisya, Mr. Herman's biological child.
"Will he be as naughty as he used to be?" I muttered chuckling as I remembered how close I was to that little girl
"Take your medicine, sir."
Pak Karyo gave me medicine and a bottle of mineral water for me to drink, I closed the bottle again and he put the bottle with the medicine back in its place.
"Master, will you be okay after meeting that girl?"
"It's okay, he's Mr. Herman's son which means it will be my responsibility to take care of him too. After all, his mother left him, his life must have suffered a lot right now."
"okay sir."

Pov Virisya
A place that has become my best friend, inhaling the pungent aroma of medicine makes me very sick of being in this place. I felt a sense of frustration after getting news about my father who stated that he only had 3 months left, sadly I feel my heart hurts a lot as a child who is close to his father, if mother was still here mother would definitely hug me tightly giving me strength to survive the pain this pain. With this old cellphone that I hold, I ventured to call my mother's number, and it was connected
"hello ma'am, I'm virisya ma'am. I miss mom." I softly said how I felt right now, I really miss a mother's embrace, I can't hold back the tears anymore, they just flow like rain that I don't know when it will stop.
"Virisya? Who is Virisya, I don't know that name at all. sorry, I'm busy right now, it's been a while."
I only heard a disconnected call, until finally I fell silent again, keeping the cellphone in my pants pocket. I quietly sat on the hospital floor whose smell was already friendly inside my nose, I hugged my own two legs like a snuggled child anyone who saw would feel sorry for me.
Gentle?
I felt a very soft and warm hand caressing my head in a friendly manner, surprised by the strange feeling that made me immediately turn to the origin where the softness I felt was, I saw a man who was 23 years old, he wore a neat suit and glasses with an expression as cold as the poles but his hands felt very warm gave me a little peace. Because of my two eyeballs that continued to look at him with a cynical look, in the end he realized the scornful look I gave him he looked back at me with a soft smirk on his lips.
"who are you?!"

Pov Alex
A girl who I just calmed down in the best way I could, now she is looking at me with the gaze of a fugitive with wide eyes obviously she is afraid to see me suddenly sitting beside her and stroking her head it made me decide to leave before she draws a conclusion consider me a fugitive. After my departure, I heard her voice that sounded the same saying
"Who the hell, really weird."
Doesn't he remember me?
I was just silent and looking for a place to eat and coincidentally Pak Karyo had prepared it for me.
"Have you met him sir?"
Pak Karyo's question made my legs feel a little weak especially after receiving his welcome who saw me like a fugitive
"I'm pretty sure he doesn't know me, because he was four years old at the time so he couldn't remember anything."
"But don't you guys often take selfies?"
What Mr. Karyo said is true, maybe he doesn't think I'm important, I don't know, I can only keep my mouth shut with a slightly uncomfortable heart condition.
"Master, I have prepared a place for dinner."
"Pak Karyo, I want to ask for help from you."

Pov Virisya
The next day, I left my father who was still lying in the hospital alone. I go to school after school I go to find a job.
The strong wind that caressed my hair, the sunlight blinded my eyes made it a little difficult for me to drive the moto properly, plus suddenly a car passed by stopping my motorbike so I just stayed silent and saw the owner of the car getting out of the car
"You virisya, huh?" asked an old man getting out of the car, but how did he know my name?
"Yes, I'm Virisya. Why, sir?" I asked what crossed my mind if he was maybe the father of my friend
"You must come with me."
I was even more confused by the orders of the old man who seemed to be trying to convince me to get into his car.
"Where are you sir?"
"Just come along, master has asked me to take you somewhere."
I obviously refused his invitation to get into his car, I'm obviously afraid of him because he looks suspicious
"No, I don't want to come. Sorry, I have other business to attend to."
I started my motorbike and left the old man who was still watching me who just left and left him, continuing the journey to find work.
