Love In The Coffee Shop

13# Help came

Leo "hey wake up..."

Clara was sleeping on top of me again without my knowledge.

Clara "hm.."

Leo "don't just hm! Get up and quickly go back to your room there!"

Clara "'s "... No way" he said slowly.

Leo ".." - "...."

I picked up Clara and took her out.

Clara "get me down! Lower them!"

I took her to her room and threw her on her bed.

Dino and Kirana were surprised and only noticed.

Leo "have been quiet here!"I said firmly.

I went back to my room and changed my clothes.

Letto "where are you going?"

Leo "i have other business today, take the others for a walk huh.

I'm counting on you!"

Letto "uh's.. Okay..."

I got out of the room and went downstairs.

Ema "you're going where Mr. Leo is going" she asked me in a soft voice.

Leo "i'll be out for a minute"

Ema "sir Leo didn't have breakfast?"

Leo "ah no need, I'll eat outside. Ah yes please just call Leo.."

Ema "good.. Leo"

I went out and walked up the mountain looking for Clara's family home.

Climb the stairs are very many, and the more the air gets colder.

I realized someone was looking at me from above.

The man walked downstairs.

Leo "....."

We passed each other and didn't care about each other.

On top of that I saw two people crying.

I walked closer and asked.

Leo "excuse me, is this Clara's family home?"

? ik?"yes-yes.. Sorry but who are you?. Are you also of them, I beg you we can't afford it"

He thinks I'm a bad guy?.. Or the one who came down earlier was the one who charged his debt.

He even begged, and I have not yet introduced myself.

Leo "sorry mom.. But I'm not a bad guy...."

? ik?"... Really?!"tanyakanya.

Leo "Yes.. My name is Leo, I'm a friend of Clara's mother's daughter. I came to help"

Anne "oh thank God my name is Anne and this is my husband Gala"

Gala "can we trust you, son?!" ask me with a face full of doubt.

Leo "this is my business card"

They asked me to come inside.

In her family home Clara is completely unkempt, some parts of the house are already damaged.

Anne "sorry we can only give tea.."

Anne's face looked sad.

Leo "it doesn't matter, this is enough"

Gala "do you really want to help us son?"

Leo "Yes !"

Gala & Anne "but why?"

They both asked me simultaneously.

Leo "your daughter has helped me a lot in the city!, this is just a thank you from me"

Anne and Gala thank me.

Leo "already.. Don't thank me but your daughter Clara fought hard in the city"

I walked towards the window.

Looking for a suitable place for skiing.

Leo "is this the land of uncle and aunt?"

Anne & Gala "yes what's wrong?"

Leo "this place is very good to open as a ski place, is it interested to use this place as a vacation spot?"

Anne and Gala looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

Gala "sadly... We can't"

Leo "what's wrong?"

Gala "to pay our debts alone we have difficulties, let alone want to open a ski place"

Leo "uncle need not worry about the cost! Let me handle that"

I called my family's waiter.

Leo "hello listo. Please come to Rora Village in the north, bring me a chequebook and some workers!"

Listo "young master! You where the Madam has been looking for mister!... Well sir I will prepare. I'll be there!"

Leo "already. Money matters are in order!, is there another problem?"

Anne & Gala "mm... Who are you, son?...."

Leo "turned my card and my uncle and aunt would know" I said with a smile.

Listo called me again.

Listo "young master! How many workers do you want?"

Leo "hm. bring all the workers you can bring"

Listo "good young master"

Leo "ah Yes. One more thing! Keep this a secret from mom and dad... I don't want them to know!"

Listo "'s "... W-well!"

I closed the shackles.

Anne & Gala "what's the matter, is there a problem?"

Leo "no!, ah yes have you seen the one behind the card?"

Anne & Gala "...!!"

Anne and Gala bowed and saluted.

Leo "don't do that... I'm not like my family. I'm running away from home, treat me like a normal person!"

Anne & Gala "b-good. Escape??"

Leo "Yes.. Like isolation!"

Anne "but why?"

Leo "i'm tired of staying home... So I ran away to live like a regular person"

Anne and Gala were silent for a moment.

Then I stood up and took my leave to return to the inn.

Leo "excuse me uncle and aunt. I'll go back to the inn"

Anne "good son.. My husband and I are so grateful!"

Leo "i'll be here the day after tomorrow! Aunt please just take a break!"

Gala "how do we thank you son!?"

Leo is "enough to take care of the health of uncle and aunt!.

I'll be back with my servants the day after tomorrow to pay my uncle and aunt's debts!"

Anne and Gala were confused because I knew the payment deadline.

Anne "how do you know that, son?"

Leo "all the uncle and aunt problems Clara told you about, so please take it easy!"

I went and got back down to the inn.

The inn was empty because everyone went out.

I decided to walk alone to the forest near the village.

While walking I saw Ema sitting by the lake. I walked up to him and talked to him.

Leo "hhhh. This is indeed a great place to relax. What are you doing here, Ema?"ask her.

Ema "'s ".... Nothing" he replied coldly.

Leo "Are you alone guarding the inn?"

Ema "Yes"

Leo "'s "..... You're not lonely alone in a building that big?"

Ema "since I've been alone"

Leo "want to tell me?"

Mom "....."

He was silent and lowered his face, am I overreacting? I know it's not right to ask about other people's life problems... But I wanted to help her and the only way I could help was to know the crux of the problem first.

He lifted his face and started to tell stories.

Ema "i used to live as an ordinary person living in a village and living like a normal person. However, that's all changed since I was sold by my parents and made into a slave and a rich man's servant."

Leo "..."

Ema "then one day I was hired at this inn with the same 4 people as me. However, 4 the man is gone and leaves me one. Until now I couldn't get out of this village because-"

Ema opened her scarf and showed me the restraint necklace.

The necklace was put up so that he could not get out of the village.

Leo "cihh Fuck. Who treats you like this!"

Ema "a-I don't know her name... We never saw his face or listened to his voice"

Leo "'s ".... I'm gonna try to figure out a way to get you out of that necklace"

Ema "K-why.. Why do you care about garbage like me"

Leo "everyone has the right to live the way they want!. You're not trash! The proof is that you survived until now, right?"

Mom "...."

Ema's eyes are glazed.

Leo "you why..."

Ema "Thank you.. No one cared about me all this time. And you're the first person to care about me, I'm really grateful!"

He said it all while crying...

I took my handkerchief and wiped his tears.

Leo "already! You are strong and authoritative, do not show your tears to others. It's not cool!"

Ema "you're ridiculous!... I'm like this because I'm touched by your concern you know"

Leo "'s ".... Ah yes this!. use my handkerchief wipe clean your tears! I'll go first"

I stood up and walked towards the village, Ema kept looking at me from behind while wiping her tears.
