The Trumpet of Seraphim

Arnold's Promise

Kringgg,,, uh,,,

Sera's phone reads Gaby's name.

"Hello brother" replied Sera.

"Where are you?" gaby asked in a panicked tone.

"Gamal and I were visiting my sick college friend at his house" Sera replied again.

"Can you come to the hospital right now?" gaby's voice sounded very anxious.

"What's up, brother?" Sera who did not know anything so follow anxious.

"Rachel," Gaby's voice choked.

"What's wrong with Rachel?" a bad premonition had already surrounded Sera.

"So he passed out while he was in college, then when he was taken to the hospital the results were positive!" Gaby explained in a trembling voice.

"You mean she's pregnant?" Sera immediately guessed and suddenly made Gamal widen his eyes.

"Yes" Gaby could only answer briefly.

"Well, me and Gamal are going straight to the hospital right now!" Sera hung up immediately.

"Darling!?" Sera looked at her husband meaningfully. Gamal who understood immediately nodded his head.

"Come on" he swiftly took the wife.

"Sir Inca, Mr. Arnold, sorry yes we have to go home soon, there is urgent family business" Sera explained.

"Is there an important problem?" Arnold looked at Gamal.

"Ah no, just a family affair" Gamal did not want the disgrace of the Anderson family to become public consumption.

"Thank you, Sera, Gamal's sister, I'm sorry to bother you" Inca felt bad.

"Don't say so, we're friends, you'll get well soon, if I have time to spare, it'll come again, if you need something to say yes sis!" Sera hugged the Inca before parting ways.

"Yes, be careful on the road yeah" the Inca returned Sera's embrace.

After saying goodbye, Sera and Gamal left the Inca and Arnold in the room alone.

"What's wrong?" Arnold asked the Inca who was looking at him with a difficult to interpret gaze.

"Mother didn't come home either?" The Inca asked innocently.

"You kicked me out?" Arnold approached the Inca and sat on the edge of his bed.

"No, I didn't mean to throw out," the Inca panicked as she felt wronged.

"If it doesn't expel then what's the name hemm?" Arnold deliberately made the girl even more panicked.

"I'm sorry sir, that's not the point, is it that the others have gone home, you are not tired all day outside the house? it's starting at night, so I asked why you didn't come home, so!" Inka tried to clarify his words with a nervous face, making Arnold more amused.

"Well, you're funny too when you're panicking!" Arnold could not bear to laugh anymore.

"Brother fucked me?" The Inca only realized that the lecturer was interpreting it.

"You're such a fool, it's appropriate that your father oppresses you like this!" Arnold touched Inca's cheek with his finger.

"Awwwww" Inca grimaces.

"Is it still sick?" Arnold approached and observed the Inca's bruised cheeks as a result of the father's pounding.

"Slightly" the Inca lied, when it felt very painful.

"Wait a minute!" Arnold then stood up and exited the room leaving the Inca sitting pensively with Arnold's attitude that was very different from usual.

"What's that?" Inca was curious about the basin that Arnold brought after he returned to the room.

"Es" replied Arnold briefly while taking a washcloth that had been soaked in ice water.

"To make juice" Arnold replied with origin.

"Huh???" Inca confusion.

"Of course to compress your wound!" Arnold began to attach his washcloth to the bruised Inca face slowly.

"Pak don't bother, let me alone" Inca was very reticent.

"You are why so chatty? you can be quiet!" Arnold pretended to be angry.

"Sorry" Inca pouted.

"Your face is already so ugly, that a frown will get uglier!" Arnold smiled mischievously.

"Pakkkk" Inka again bullied by the lecturer.

"Hahahahahah, yes sorry, sorryfff" Arnold then chuckled as he continued to compress the Inca's face slowly until everything was evenly distributed.

Tok Tok Tok, the,,

"Excuse me, this is not the porridge of the order" the housekeeper entered the room with a tray of porridge.

"I didn't order porridge!" Inka's surprised.

"I'm the one who ordered, thank you" Arnold stood up and then received the tray with a smile to the assistant.

"Let's open your mouth" Arnold scooped up the porridge.

"Sir let me be alone" Inka tried to grab the spoon held by Arnold.

"Shut up and open your mouth!" Arnold stared intently making the Inca shrink. The girl ate in silence without daring to say much.

"Now rest!" after all the porridge was gone, Arnold put his empty bowl on the nightstand, then he pulled the blanket over the chest of the girl.

Tok Tok Tok, the,,

"Excuse me Mr. Arnold, here's a change of clothes for you" the Inka housekeeper delivered a paper bag to the girl's room.

"Thank you" replied Arnold.

"Why is there a change of clothes?" Inka's confused.

"I'll take care of you until you're completely healed!" arnold said casually.

"Sir I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about, you can go home!" Inka did not expect that Arnold planned to stay at his house.

"You're saying this is okay?" Arnold pressed his purplish blue Inca cheek.

"Awww it hurts!" Inka protest.

"Nahhhh kannnn, just held a little already yelled so, how about your father come and treat you like last night again huh?" Arnold ruffled waist.

"No way, my father won't dare to come here again until I recover, I've understood the pattern!" since this was not the first time the Inca had been the victim of the father's violence, he understood the cycle of his father's cruelty.

"Ck, you're so memorized, huh?" Arnold really did not think that there was a father who was so cruel to his own biological daughter.

"Sir, you better go home, I'm fine!" The Inca put on a face full of confidence.

"Don't worry, now go to bed, I won't go home no matter what you say!" Arnold then walked into the bathroom.

"If I'm done bathing and you haven't slept, then I'll punish you when you're cured!" Arnold stopped to turn his head and looked at the Inca with a look of intimidation.

"But, sir," the Inca wanted to protest, but Arnold went into the bathroom without listening.

Chequek,,

Arnold, who had finished his bath, approached the Inca in his bed. No need to wait long for the Inca to fall asleep soundly, other than he was very sleep deprived because all night crying, his body felt like a crumble all due to the persecution he received from the Father.

"Why are you so stupid? why are you being treated so harshly by your father? shouldn't you be able to complain to someone you believe can protect you?" Arnold looked at the sleeping Inca and put away the child with the hair covering the scarred face.

"I'm sorry that I've been ignoring you and consider you a bully girl, I don't know if it turns out that your attention-seeking attitude on campus all this time is because you are indeed lacking attention from your father. From now on you can count on me Inca, I promise to take care of you and defend you in front of your father!" Arnold felt very sorry for the fate experienced by the Inca.
