Pursuing the Love of the Handsome

Little Girl

This morning Clarissa held a press conference at a restaurant not far from her apartment. He will provide clarification about the news that mentions himself and Arta Fashion involved in personal matters until the termination of the contract unilaterally.

"Is it true that Arta Fashion decided to sign with you?" ask reporters.

"That's not true" Clarissa replied.

"Where have you been all this time?"

"I was on vacation in my hometown and there happened to be a job there, too" he explained.

"Is it true that you have a relationship with the President of Arta Fashion?"

Clarissa gave a smile. "No, we're just friends!"

"The video at the cafe explains that you have a relationship?"

"It just so happened that we met there" Clarissa replied.

"Circulating the photo if you and Mr Devan cuddle in Rainbow Lake?"

"Hmmm, the question is 'yes. I have to get back to work, thanks for the time!" Clarissa stood up and clenched her hands together while smiling at the media.

"Miss Clarissa, is your relationship with Mr Devan right?" The media keep asking even though the interview session is over.

"Friends of the media, enough 'yes clarification today!" yuna said.

Aided by several bodyguards and security guards, Clarissa and her two friends left the restaurant.

That night at the Artama Family residence..

Devan who saw the news on television pulled the corner of his lips. He was quite satisfied to hear Clarissa's explanation in the media.

"Is it true that you went to Rainbow Lake yesterday?" Oma Fera sat down with her granddaughter watching television.

"Yes, Oma. I went there to persuade him" Devan replied.

"Do you really have a relationship?" oma Fera looked at her grandson's face.

"Why is Oma's question the same as the reporters?" Devan asked back.

"The photo of you hugging in the lake is spread across all media" said Oma Fera.

"It was accidentally Oma, she helped me stand up. At that time I felt dizzy when entering the lake area," said Devan.

"You don't remember that place?" ask Oma Fera.

Devan shook his head slowly.

"That's where your parents found you after three days of disappearing" said Oma Fera.

"I mean Oma, I was kidnapped?"

"Yes, that man is your Papa's friend" replied Fera.

"What's the reason he kidnapped me?"

"He was in debt and blackmailed your father to give him a ransom" Fera said.

"Van, what's wrong with you?" Oma Fera looked panicked.

"My head hurts so much, Oma!" He grimaced with pain.

Oma Fera called her servant to get Devan's body into the room.

"Don't be forced to remember!" Fera advised her grandson who was lying weakly on the bed.

Devan nodded slowly. "Oma, did the kidnapper have anything to do with the little girl?" ask her in a weak voice.

"Little girl?"

"Yes, Oma. I dream of him often!"

"You still have that necklace?" Oma sat on the side of the bed.

"Yes, Oma."

"Did you remember the girl's face?" ask Fera.

"No, Oma. Her face was not very clear, but her mother pulled herself away from me" Devan replied.

"Sixteen years ago, a young woman told the security guard of your parents' home that she saw you in Rainbow Lake" Fera began to explain. "After getting word, the young woman disappeared. Both of your parents looked for him there. Sure enough you were found on the lake's edge in a fainting state with your hands holding a necklace" he explained.

"Do you know who the kidnapper is?" Devan wakes up and sits opposite Oma Fera.

"Oma doesn't know her name but she has a daughter" replied Fera.

"Does Oma still remember her face?" ask Devan.

Oma Fera nodded in agreement.

"Is that little girl his daughter?" Devan curiously.

"Oma doesn't know," he answered.

"Is that man alive, Oma?" ask Devan.

"Oma don't know, the man lives in the same town as your Mama. Because of his pity your parents let him go and forgave him" replied Fera. "Didn't you remember the slightest bit about that man's face?" ask him to Devan.

"It's possible that if I saw his picture, I knew him," Devan tried to recall the incident.

"Don't be forced, Devan!"

"Yes, Oma."

"What if the little girl is his daughter?" ask Devan.

"Do you still want to marry her?" Oma Fera asked back.

"It doesn't seem like it, Oma!"

"Oma also disagrees, you're with the girl if she's her daughter" Fera said.

After a long chat with Oma Fera, he began to feel drowsiness. The nightmare came back. The little girl pulled herself up near drowning, she screamed for her mother to help the boy.

Soon he awoke with a breath of hunting and sweating. He opened the nightstand drawer and opened a small box containing a necklace with the initials of a name.

"I hope you're not the daughter of that man!" inner hoping.
