Mira Houston's

"This is my only place. The bed is only one. So you can sleep on that couch!" said Mira.

Ben has just returned from the hospital and he comes home to Mira's coffee shop and also becomes his residence on the 2nd floor.

"Thank you for accepting me" Ben said.

Mira opened her dresser drawer and took out a necklace and 2 rings.

"I know your name from these 2 rings. Looks like the robber didn't find it because it was tucked under your shirt. Looks like it's a wedding ring" said Mira and placed the necklace and ring in front of Ben.

Ben took the ring, turned it around and read the writing inside.

"I don't remember anything about the ring!" ben said while holding his head.

"Don't push too much. Try slowly. Indeed the doctor said that we have to go to a more complete hospital to check your head. But I don't have enough money to get you there."

"It's okay, Mira. I've been feeling well. I'll help you here. I'll do whatever I can to help you."

Mira smiled "You rest first. Some of those wounds on your body haven't healed properly"

Ben nodded. He was happy because Mira wanted to accept it.

Every day Ben helps Mira make cakes and serve existing guests. Mira also felt happy because Ben was very fast to learn and very diligent.

This coffee shop is his family's legacy. Mira's parents are dead and Mira runs this coffee shop to fund her life.

The two quickly become familiar, until one morning Ben sees Mira sitting by the window crying.

"Mira, what's wrong?" ask Ben astonished.

Mira's cries were breaking. He immediately scattered himself in Ben's arms.

"Mira why?" ben asked, getting worried. His hand spontaneously caressed Mira's back.

"I'm pregnant, Ben!"

Ben let go of his embrace. He looked at Mira confusedly "I've been here for 3 weeks but I've never seen any of your close friends come."

"I.m raped!" mira said very slowly. His face looks very sad.

"What?"

"About 6 weeks ago, I was just about to close my coffee shop. It was only 8 p.m. But it rained very hard. Suddenly 2 men entered. Pushing the door very hard.when both of them were inside, one friend immediately closed the door and lowered all the window curtains. The other one immediately pushed me to the floor, and without taking a long time, he tore my clothes and raped me violently. When one was done, the other friend immediately raped me. My mouth is in duct tape, and so is my hand. After that they both left while throwing a few dollars in my face. It's like I'm a cheap woman who used to serve a jerk like them." Mira stopped the story for a moment. He took a deep breath several times. Trying to calm his heart back down in light of the most terrible event of his life.

"I don't expect them to leave a seed inside me that is now beginning to grow. I'm so confused, Ben. I would love to abort this child, but I am afraid of God. This kid's not wrong either."

Ben grabs Mira's hand "Mira, don't be afraid. I'll accompany you. I'm not leaving you alone. If indeed you decide to take care of this child, then we will take care of him together."

Mira was very touched to hear Ben's words. He hugged Ben again with a very comforted feeling. He was grateful when he needed a friend in his life, God gave Ben a very attentive.

"Do you know them?" ask Ben

Mira nods in Ben's arms" They're the mafia leaders in this Chinatown. That's why I chose not to report this incident because other than no witnesses, poor girls as poor as I would not be able to fight them in court."

"Have they ever come here again?"

Mira releases her hug "Yes. But they don't fuck because you're here."

"I promise Mira, since you helped me, I will take care of you. Even if my memory returns, I'll never leave you alone"

"Thank you, Ben!"

************

The presence of Maura, then Ben's parents and friends, on the one hand makes Mira happy. Although he was afraid that Ben would leave him and the mafia would attack him again.

Ben asks Mira not to say anything about her pregnancy. Let them think it's Ben's son.

"Ben, your wife, parents and friends are already here. What else do you mean?" tanya Mira sees Ben still sitting on the sofa where he sleeps.

"I can't remember them all. So I don't want to go with them."

Mira sat next to Ben "Ben, by being near them, you'll find your memory faster"

Ben looked at Mira "What about you, Mira? If I leave then those mobsters will be able to harm you again."

"What should I do, Ben? My life is in this coffee shop. I didn't go to college, I didn't have any skills other than making bread and cookies. You don't have to take responsibility for my life"

Ben grabs Mira's hand "Come with me to London. So I can calm down while I'm on medication there"

"But Ben.."

"If you don't want to come, then I won't go."

Mira could not hold back her tears. He believes Ben's sincerity in him. Even though Mira knows Ben's heart doesn't love her. He decides to take Ben to London so that he can get the best treatment.

************

Alicia Aslon couldn't hold back her tears hearing Mira's story about her life. Likewise Maura who was sitting next to Ben was crying when she knew how much Mira suffered with her pregnancy.

"Now Ben has found his past memories. So tomorrow, I'm going back to New York" Mira said.

"No dear......!"Alicia suddenly stood up and approached Mira. He sat down near Mira and clasped Mira's hand tightly.

"If you come back, they could hurt you. I'm not gonna let that happen. You helped my son. So from today on, I accept you to be Ben's sister" Alicia caressed Mira's stomach. "Let this child be born here. I'm ready to be her oma. Aye, pap?" he looked at Bryan.

"Of course, honey...!" Bryan said with a sincere smile.

Mira's tears flowed again.His feelings were really happy. When he feels alone because Ben has regained the memory of his past, he actually gets the love of a mother in Alicia.

"Thank you, Madam Aslon!"

"Call me, mommy!"

"Mommy !"

Mira cries in Alicia's arms. He cannot express his happiness.

"You just write down what you want to take at that coffee shop. My men will take it and bring it here." said Ben.

"Thank you, Ben."

"Besides my boutique there is still vacant land. I'll have them make you a coffee shop." added Alicia

Mira flabbergasted "Really? I'm so happy"

Everyone smiles happily.

********

After lunch together, Ben meets Mira in his room.

"Mira.....!" call Ben

Mira who was cleaning her clothes turned to look at Ben. He did receive all the help of the Aslon family to him. But Mira wants to stay alone. That's why he's cleaning up because tomorrow he'll move into the apartment Alicia has prepared for him.

"Ben..get in!"

Ben stepped in. "You ready?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Thank you for staying in London with us."

"Thank you for giving me a family, Ben"

"You deserve it. Because you've done a lot of good in your life."

"Ben, may I speak to Maura?"

"Can. I'll call you in a minute"

Mira looked at Ben leaving with a smile. He knew that a little taste was beginning to be present in his heart because of the care and affection that Ben had given so far he had to lose. And he is grateful that the return of Ben's memories has allowed him to find a new family.

"Hi..you want to talk to me?" maura asked while standing in front of the door.

"Come on Maura!"

Maura came in and sat on the carpet with Mira.

"Why don't you accept mommy's offer to stay here?"

Mira looked at Maura "I've got a lot of things that I never dreamed of before. So I want to remain an independent Mira"

"I'm proud of you, Mira. You're so strong in dealing with all this"

Mira just smiled. "I'm strong because of him" he said while holding his stomach which had started to stare.He then looked at Maura.

"Maura, between me and Ben nothing ever happened. We slept in the same room. Ben always sleeps on the couch. Even if he has been friendly with me lately, it's all because he has not got his memory. But Ben never expressed love or anything like that - he just wanted to protect me and this kid"

Maura nodded "I know. I was jealous of you at first. But now I just want to be your brother."

"Thank you, Maura. I believe my meeting with Ben was part of God's plan to make my life and my son's life better."

"Thank you for teaching Ben to pray"

Mira just smiled while holding her stomach "Honey...You've calmed down? So many people love us."

"May I touch it?" asked Maura enthusiastically.

"Of course"

Maura touched Mira's stomach with a trembling heart. "How many months?"

"5 month. I can't wait to be born. I pray that you too get pregnant Maura"

Maura smiled bitterly. "I was pregnant and had a miscarriage. After that I'm not pregnant anymore"

"Don't be sad. You'll have it."

"Amen....!" maura said while holding her own stomach. She hopes to get pregnant soon.

********

Tonight, Alicia asks Ben and Maura to sleep in the mansion because tomorrow they will both drive Mira to her apartment.

After dinner, Maura cleaned herself in the bathroom and then laid her body down. He felt very tired today.

Ben while talking to his daddy in the study. Yang Maura knew they were about to arrange Mira's letters. That's why Maura won't interfere. He believes that Ben and his father will give their best for Mira.

Maura doesn't know when Ben's back in the room because he's asleep. But as Ben came out of the bathroom, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Hi baby..! Did I wake you?" ben asked as he crawled up onto the bed.

"Ben..Why aren't you wearing clothes?" maura asked in surprise when she saw her husband throw his towel on the floor.

"I'm actually going to wear that shirt but when I see you're awake, I think it's time I pay my debt to you, which is still a lot of it" Ben said with a grin full of desire. His gaze was so tempting that Maura became flushed.

"Benn...!" Maura is about to get out of bed but Ben has pulled her so Maura is now being taken by her husband.

"I love you my wife!" Ben starts to look down and kisses his forehead, down his nose and as he is about to touch his wife's sweet lips, Maura suddenly pushes Ben's body.

"Ben, what shampoo are you using?" maura asked and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

"The usual "shampoo. Why why?" ben asked and then kept his body away from Maura.

"I don't like it. Stinging smell. I want to puke, Ben!" Maura hurriedly got off the bed and immediately ran to the bathroom.

"Darling, what's wrong?" ben asked and followed his wife to the bath
