There was nothing Geya could say at the moment, her brain could not even digest everything she heard. Deceived, but he was not harmed at all because they only knew each other, and talked only once. Not deceived, but casually the man approached him and said that he was only a worker at the foundation, in fact he was the owner.
After the performance that can be said to be successful because it is able to make the invited guests who attended like the song he played. Geya chose to get out of the ballroom to a park in the rooftop of Harley Expedition company. He accidentally heard that the rooftop in this company was opened to the public, for anyone who wants to see the view of the park at the height of a building.
Geya sat on one of the benches in the park, looking at the night sky which was unfortunately because of cloudy so did not see her beauty. If only tonight was bright, Geya was sure that the sky would be so beautiful when viewed from where it is now. Geya's eyes look around the park, one thing that Geya can conclude, this park is made with a design that is so beautiful and there is a calming effect when seeing things in this rooftop garden.
" Aahh... " Geya was shocked as she felt something covering her shoulders. It turned out that it was a suit belonging to the man who some time ago filled his mind.
" Pregnant women are prone to night wind Ge, you should not be here" said the man who immediately took a seat right next to Geya. A narrow garden chair makes the two human bodies stick together.
" Why are you here? Isn't the party not over yet "asked Geya in a slightly taut tone.
" Because I saw you leave the party, so there's nothing interesting. So I'm here to see you" Claude replied.
" What do you think is also interesting when you lie to me by saying you are the staff of the foundation." Geya bursts who are no longer able to withstand her frustration.
" This is why I didn't tell you my real job, because I didn't want you to respect me as someone of high standing. But I want us to be respectful as friends, maybe as men and women too" Claude explained.
" The reason you don't justify your lies is Mr. Harley... " Geya was about to leave Claude, even canceling his intention when Claude's hand pulled his hand.
" Sit down, accompany me for a moment. Soon there will be a firework and I'm sure from this place it will look beautiful... " Geya immediately sat back down when he heard Claude's words just now. Fireworks are what Geya likes because of their beauty on dark nights. The light for darkness, where it was so beloved by many, was a firework for Geya.
For a few minutes these two men were both silent without saying a word. They are engrossed in their thoughts about everything that passes through their lives. Until Geya's curiosity broke the silence between the two of them.
" Can I ask you something? It's a little personal, " asked Geya hesitantly.
" You can ask me anything... I will definitely answer it, even if you ask about the size of my clothes. "the sentence at the end was deliberately Claude greeting with half a whisper to tease Geya. And sure enough, this woman's cheeks were met red with embarrassment at Claude's intimate words.
Geya tried to neutralize her embarrassment by clearing her throat and changing the subject, "What success did you produce up to this point because you wanted to show it to someone who might mean something to you? " ask Geya.
Claude was silent for a moment, trying to digest the intent of Geya's question. Because frankly, Claude can be this successful not to show it to someone, but want children who have the fate like him and are in the orphanage of his foster parents, he said, can get facilities that are not inferior to children who have parents. So if the children could be called someone, he would say so.
" My life story is not as good as yours, maybe... But I'm sure your childhood was in the middle of a complete family. Don't we? " Claude looked into the brilliant blue eyes of the woman who managed to shake his heart.
" It started at least when I was four years old, because my mommy was in a coma after giving birth to me and my four siblings. We're five twins.. " Claude glared with his mouth open when he heard Geya was a quintuple. Claude grimaced when he imagined a woman had a huge belly because of her five babies.
" really? Oh my God, I can't believe it. " murmured Claude in amazement. Geya just nodded to convince Claude.
" Go back to the topic.... " Claude berdehem.
" I am the child that my parents gave to the owner of the parlor before me... The reason is because they are very poor and have a history of deadly diseases. They were afraid that when death picked them up, I was too small to leave. Be they hand me who was then one year and eight months old to the owner of the parlor before me... " Claude tells Geya his life story, which of course makes Geya surprised because Claude's life story is very sad.
Claude also told me when he was twenty years old, he married a very beautiful girl who was also a resident of the same orphanage as him. But their marriage was not long because at that time Claude who focused on the continuity of the home made him number the wife. Until one day the wife left him because he could not be treated like that. And what makes claude worse is, because the news of his divorce made his foster parents sick and left ten years ago.
" For five years before I took back this foundation, it was the government that managed it because at that time I was considered unable to manage.. Having seen the residents of the orphanage suffer when we were in the lowest condition because the donor money was taken away from the financial staff of the orphanage, I so try to make the facilities of the children of the orphanage the best. And it was this company that I built that helped make my foster parents' wishes come true... " Geya to the point of tears to hear the story of Claude who was very sad. To be left behind by our loved ones when they are in need is a pain that is hard to forget.
" You have such a noble heart, Mr. Harley." praise Geya sincerely.
" You are nobler than me Ge. When you have a choice to eliminate, but you choose to defend. To me a mother who defends her child with all her difficulties is the noblest... " Geya gasped at Claude's words. She understood how Claude looked at her and her pregnancy.
The awaited firework finally began. Many colors and shapes can be seen from fireworks at the Harley Expedition anniversary celebration..
" I want a woman like you to be my life partner" said Claude slowly, Geya to ask what Claude said earlier....
