My Little Maid

A loud bang echoed in a small hill in a village. As a result of the rain, it fell so heavily that the road became slippery until an Audi car passing around the hill lost control and ended up mired in a deep enough ravine.

The car driven by a man rolled over several times until finally the driver bounced out of the car. His body lay on the ground with a number of severe injuries. The man grimaced in pain when he felt that there was a thick red liquid flowing down his temple.

The unfavorable weather also made matters worse, the man could not bear the pain and cold at the same time. He felt that the angel of death was now stalking him.

"Lord... If it's time, I'm ready to face you. But if I haven't, give me a chance to fix everything."

The man was inner. He looked up at the cloudy sky above him, he was resigned if indeed today was the last day he saw the beauty of the earth and sky.

Slowly the man began to close his eyes, but a few moments later he did not feel the rainwater hit his face. He opened his eyes again, he could vaguely see a little girl standing next to him, about seven years old.

It turned out that the girl was protecting her body from the heavy rain with the red umbrella she carried. The man mightily gathered his consciousness to see the figure of this savior girl.

"Are you okay?"

The girl's voice greeted her sense of hearing, inexplicably she seemed to get energy from the sweet voice.

"Help me, hhhh..." The man began to make a sound. He didn't know who she was, but he was sure that this little girl was the helping angel God sent her.

Does that mean God has given him a chance?

"What should I do?" The man vaguely heard the restlessness of the girl in front of him. The girl moved closer to the poor man's body to confirm whether this man was still conscious or not.

"Ah, Mom!" The girl knew what she had to do now, the little girl would call her mother. He was only a child so it was impossible for him to help the man alone.

"I'll get help."

The girl was about to get out of her place but the man held her hand.

"It's cold... hhh..." The man spoke in such a hoarse voice and the body trembled violently.

The girl looked thoughtful, then finally with all her courage the girl pulled the man to take cover to a tree that was large enough so that his body would not get too rained.

Her petite body can be seen struggling to pull the man's huge body. The girl was willing to get her body wet and share her red umbrella so that this handsome man in front of her would not be cold.

The man leaned his back against a tree behind him, his eyes closed to feel pain in his head from the violent impact caused by the accident he had experienced. But soon his eyes opened again when he felt something coiled around his neck. It's a scarf.

Then he felt a warm grip in his hand. Who else if not the girl's hand.

"What are you doing?"

He could see the little girl squatting beside his body while looking at him with an innocent look typical of a child, but implied curiosity there.

"You're cold, so I put it on for you, and it's one way to keep you from getting cold."

His palm rubbed the surface of the skin of the man's hand. The girl intended to deliver heat in her palms. Her mother always did this when she was cold, and now she practices it on the strange man in front of her.

The girl doesn't feel scared, maybe some of the little kids out there will be scared or shy away from strangers. But this girl is different, the man can feel the extraordinary sincerity behind the radiance of her eyeballs.

For a while the man was silent, then smiled slightly. He was flattered by the attention the little girl gave him. His heart warmed instantly.

"What's your name?" the man asked curiously. The girl looked up at him, then smiled so sweetly. Suddenly the man's heart beat so fast, it's strange just because of this little girl's smile that his heart can beat like someone in love. The man hasn't felt this kind of sensation for a long time.

"I—"

"Gosh! Mr. Oliver?"

A voice managed to stop the girl's speech, she was surprised when a group of men in black suits and sunglasses walked towards her. Who are they?

The girl looks scared to see the horde of creepy men, according to her they look like a bunch of kidnappers she usually sees in movies and dramas. As a result, the girl immediately ran away and hid behind another tree that was quite far away. Leaving the red umbrella and also his red scarf still wrapped around the man's neck.

"Hey! Where are you going? Arrhhh..." The man tried to call the girl, but the tiny body did not respond. The man grimaced as his head throbbed in excruciating pain.

"We will definitely meet again, I will find you," the man said until he finally lost consciousness.

8 years later

A man walked down the steps of his house at a brisk pace, his face seemingly bent as a woman kept talking behind him and continued to follow him. The man is Oliver Henry Moore, a beautiful 31-year-old man who works as a wealthy young businessman. His near-perfect face is so loved by women. The sharp look in his eyes, firm facial lines, and thick lips that look sexy make the women out there crave the figure of the man surnamed Moore.

"I told you to stop looking for women for me, Mom. Until then, I would never want to be betrothed to anyone except the girl of my own choice!"

Oliver stared at the woman behind him fiercely, his ears were already hot hearing the babble of the woman who had the status of his own biological mother.

"So how long are you going to be single, Oliver?! Remember, how many years old are you now, huh?! Mom wants to take your grandson immediately."

Ariana Moore looked at Oliver in frustration. The woman demanded Oliver introduce the future son-in-law to her. To date, Oliver hasn't brought a single woman to introduce him to in eight years. That's what makes the middle-aged woman so talkative.

Oliver had previously been in a relationship with a woman, but the relationship just foundered because the lover he loved so much betrayed him.

"Anyway, mom doesn't want to know, next year you should be married. If not, then you will have to be betrothed!" said Ariana firmly, then walked away from Oliver's house.

Don't expect the child and mother to live together, because in reality they don't live under the same roof. Oliver chooses to live alone in the stately mansion of his hard work as a leader of the company previously led by his late father. Oliver is the sole heir of the Moore Star Group, which has been the largest textile company in the country.

So Where does Ariana live?

The woman lives in the bamboo curtain country, China. Since her husband died eight years ago, Ariana chose to continue her culinary business there and remarry to a businessman from China who also has Indonesian descent.

Oliver stared at his mother's departure furiously, not once or twice did he tell him to get married immediately. His ears were even numb at Ariana's babble that always demanded him.

It's not that he doesn't want to marry, it's just that until now there hasn't been a single suitable woman in his heart. Except for one girl who has been bothering him for the past eight years, a little girl who is his helping angel and unfortunately he doesn't know where he is now.

Oliver took out his cell phone to contact someone, it didn't take long for his phone to be answered by a man on the other side.

"Kevin. How? Is there any development?"

The man Oliver called was one of his loyal bodyguards as well as his accomplice. Kevin is assigned to find the whereabouts of his helper angel who until now has not been found.

"We've been looking for it to rural areas, sir. But we have not been able to find the whereabouts of Miss Sophia Rosetta," he retorted.

"Well, look elsewhere until you can. If necessary, you explore all cities in the country."

Oliver immediately hung up the phone unilaterally. A heavy sigh of breath sounded from his mouth, even this he had been searching for eight years but there was no bright spot.

"Where exactly are you, Sophia?"

Yes, Oliver already knew the name of his helping angel. The day after Oliver had an accident, he immediately told Kevin to find out the girl's name. But when he wanted to see the little girl again, the area where the girl lived experienced a landslide that was quite severe due to the recent heavy rainfall. So that all residents there, including the girl, had to evacuate to other places. There were no casualties in the disaster, so Oliver was so sure that Sophia was still alive.

Meanwhile in one of the humble houses in a remote village. A beautiful girl looked gloomy watching her mother put all her clothes in the suitcase. Sophia Rosetta, that's how it's called. Her face is so beautiful and innocent, she is still 16 years old. He lived with his mother in a village quite far from the capital.

"Mom, why do we have to move again?" asked Sophia when she had finished her clothes. Emily is seen sighing then approaching her only daughter.

"We have to change our destiny for the better, honey."

"Does living in the capital make us rich?" asked Sophia innocently. Emily smiled at this, and then stroked Sophia's head affectionately.

"Sophia wants to continue school?" Instead of answering, Emily asked a question.

"Of course, Mom. I want to go back to school like the rest of my friends. Am I going to continue school in the city?" Sophia looked excited, making Emily feel guilty because of the economic squeeze, her daughter's school had to stop.

Since her husband passed away, their economic situation has not been as good as before. Her family is not from the conglomerate, her husband used to work as a security. Her income may not be as big as an office worker, but it is enough to meet their daily needs and can send Sophia to junior high school.

"Mom is going to work in the city. Jennie said the income there is very large, it just so happens that her daughter also works there. So mom can quickly raise money for your tuition fees later."

"Really? What will you do?" asked Sophia.

"Maid," Emily replied.

"Maid?"

"Yes, mom is going to work with a wealthy businessman over there. The house is so big that it needs a lot of employees and Jessica also works there."

Jessica is one of the daughters of her neighbor who had recommended the job to Emily. This is one of the opportunities for Emily to change her fate. During this time he had to work odd jobs to support himself and also his beautiful daughter.

Emily can't live in poverty continuously, especially for her daughter. At least Sophia's life must be brighter by continuing her studies as high as possible so that one day she can raise the status of her family.

"You don't mind, do you?" asked Emily assuredly.

"If this is indeed the best for us, why not? Anyway, I can't be far away from Mom."

Emily smiled with satisfaction at her daughter's answer. He hugged his little girl's body into his warm embrace. Sophia is the only treasure she has now, she will do anything for her daughter's happiness.

"Now go to sleep, tomorrow morning we set off."
