LOVE AND REVENGE LIONA

CHAPTER 3. HELPER

Liona thinks it's okay to stand there as long as she doesn't get hit by a car.  Not long after, the girl heard a sharp rumbling sound of the brakes. He was almost hit by a car that was passing through the street .  After hearing a loud noise, he looked awkwardly at someone stepping out of the car and lighting a cigarette.  It seemed like he was a handsome man, a second later he was blinking a ring of smoke, looking at Liona curiously. He did not say a word but his eyes glanced at the baby in Liona's arms.

“Nona, why don't you choose someone who is more worthy of being blackmailed? Why did you choose to get hit by my car? Are you crazy to kill yourself with your baby?” the man's voice sounded deep and magnetic, but what he said was like a slap in my face.  The light came from the front spotlights of his car.  Maybe he thought that my messy appearance and the embarrassed expression on my face while holding a baby, I must have arranged for this incident to blackmail someone.

As her eyes met with Liona's eyes, she froze for a moment and the ridicule on her face disappeared.  Seeing that I had no intention of asking for compensation or replying to his taunts, he threw a cigarette in his hand and got back in his car and left.  As Liona saw her turn the corner and disappear from sight, the girl finally cried.  She hoped that the man would stay and help her, let alone see Liona holding a baby.  “Does anyone care about anyone else in the world? Why is everyone so cute and haughty?” his sobs.  "Yes, God. Please help your servant, please send me an angel of help."

In the dark and silent silence, his lamentable voice that could be heard broke the silence.  Soon, the light came shining again and Liona heard the brake sound once again.  He squinted to look, was shocked and found the car back again.  The man came back here.  “Aren't you afraid of attracting ghosts because you're crying so hard? This forest has many residents,” said the prea scared Liona.

Stunned by her question, Liona looked at him with tears still streaming down her eyes and the man looked at her. Now the girl could see the man's face very clearly, his face looked like an angel, handsome, charming and very masculine.  Even though he was only wearing casual clothes, he looked like a strong and calm man.

Maybe he believed that Liona wouldn't blackmail him because she didn't ask the man for compensation. The man only looked at Liona with a confused and doubtful look in his eyes. “You don't look okay. Is that your son?” He glanced at the two feet of Liona who was not wearing footwear and the feet were covered in blood and mud as well while the baby in her carrying also had blood spots on the baby's clothes. Instinctively Liona hugged the baby boy tightly “I just feel cold and my son has not eaten.” her speech softly while bowing her face. The man stepped into the car and took the jacket and draped it over Liona's boat. "Wear it."

“Thank you,” said the girl with a stutter.

Liona's heart was moved by her polite actions, but she felt uncomfortable because the coat still smelled of soap, obviously if freshly washed but my whole body was dirty.

“I think you better go to the hospital.  Check yourself and your baby, I'm afraid you guys are okay.”

“I just want to go home,” my words actually make me feel sick.  How could I go back home? It was obvious that Vena deliberately wanted to hurt me and it was definitely him and Seth who had thrown me into the abyss.

The man looked at me for a while, his eyes emitting emotions I couldn't understand “I'll take you home.”

“Are you not afraid of me tricking you? Said the man in a warm tone.  Liona looked at the man's face and felt lost hope “I have nothing to cheat.” I told her.  The man just kept quiet and walked into his car.  Frightened that the man had suddenly left, Liona rushed to open the passenger seat door, instantly I felt doubtful when I saw his car so clean both on the inside and outside while I was completely dirty.

Finally I got into the car and the car drove away from the mountain area.  “Sorry.  I'll pay for your car wash later,” Liona told him. 

“It cost me twenty million rupiah just to wash my car.  In case there are stubborn stains, I have to pay more.” he said as he glanced at Liona's dirty feet.  Twenty million? That sounds totally absurd.  The cost of car washing is usually only one hundred thousand rupiah. The man chuckled as he managed to make Liona look annoyed.

Elvano suddenly cries making Liona confused, she has no drinking water or milk, baby diapers do not have. “Why is your baby crying? Maybe she's thirsty or hungry?” said the man who until now did not introduce himself.

“I have no food for her, my milk is a little usually I give her formula milk but at this time my money is not enough to buy milk for her.” Liona said to give an excuse.

“If you believe me, I will save your phone number and send you the money later.” Liona took her phone and intended to keep the man's mobile number.  The man's name is Hiro Abirama.  She is a talent agent to be a model and also an artist. Liona's phone went out because there was no power. “Where should I take you?” ask Hiro.  Liona was confused because she did not know where to go, she could not go back home.

“I don't know where to go, I'm just a foster kid. My lover had an affair with my sister and they threw me into the abyss.” as soon as Liona cried sobbing, she only wished Hiro could help her, only the man was her hope now. “Is this your baby with your lover?” ask Hiro again.

“I—iya.” replied Liona who was confused to answer what, there is no way she said that she had just found the baby earlier.

“Good.  It's late, maybe you should stay at my house. But we should stop by the supermarket first to buy your baby needs.” Along the way Hiro asks a lot about Ilona and the girl tells him everything. 

Eventually they reach the supermarket and Hiro leaves Liona and her baby boy in the car.  Shortly afterwards, Hiro walked into the car carrying some plastic bags and stuffed them into the trunk of the car.  Now they have arrived at Hiro's house, a minimalist-style house that looks clean and neat.  Liona suddenly glued hesitant to enter because her legs were so dirty. “Wash your feet there,”ucap hiro points towards the water tap in the corner near the gate.
