I hope we can meet there
Letta began examining some clothes in a large suitcase, not only her own clothes but also Freya’s. After nearly a few hours of choosing these clothes, three suitcases were in front of her, prompting Letta to look at Freya, who was still playing on her bed.
“Mommy’s done with work, we’re going to send all of these,” Letta said, making Freya smile. Letta then called Desi to ask some guards to pull the suitcases out of her room.
“Desi, can you ask some guards to take some suitcases from my room?” Letta asked, causing Desi to furrow her brow.
“Suitcases?” Desi asked, and Letta nodded her head.
“Yes, I just chose some of my and Freya’s clothes that are no longer in use. So, instead of cluttering the dressing room, I chose them and intended to donate them to some orphanages and people in need,” Letta said, making Desi nod her head.
A few minutes later, some guards carried the three suitcases, even the one Letta used was just a regular suitcase that could probably be disposed of by Marco. After that, Letta instructed the guards to inform the front terrace of the orphanage that they would be sending them.
“Just tell the guards to inform the front terrace. I’ll go there after Freya finishes her snacks,” Letta said, making Desi nod her head.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Currently, Freya was sitting in her lap, eating some fruits that had been prepared by Letta earlier. Letta knew that Desi was looking at her with a questioning look.
“In a moment, because someone will take these suitcases, maybe he’s from that orphanage. I got it from Arabella, so we don’t need to bother choosing which orphanage to donate to,” Letta said again, making Desi nod her head.
“Very well, ma’am,” Desi said. A few minutes later, an open-backed truck entered the area of Marco’s large house. A man got out of the truck, wearing a hat and a mask covering his face.
“Excuse me, miss, is this Miss Letta’s house?” the man asked, making Letta nod her head.
“Yes, that’s right. Are you from the orphanage?” Letta asked, making the man nod his head.
“I was told to pick up some bags to be donated,” the man said, making Letta nod her head.
“Yes, these are the suitcases. You can take them. I’m sorry, these are the only things I can donate. Next time, maybe I can donate other things,” Letta said, making the man just nod his head.
“Alright, thank you, miss. I’ll take them now,” the man said. After that, he immediately loaded the suitcases into his car before leaving past some guards. Letta chose to take Freya back inside.
“Desi, do you intend to work here forever?” Letta asked as they were about to walk to the garden.
“I don’t know, ma’am. Why are you suddenly asking that?” Desi asked.
“No, I was just asking. You know, your age is just right for marriage. Maybe out there, some of your friends already have children. Don’t you want to have a family like that?” Letta asked, making Desi silent.
“I don’t know, I’ve never thought about it. All I’ve been thinking about is how to work well in this house. I seem to be too comfortable with my current situation, earning a salary and being able to save it for other needs, and being able to send some to my father,” Desi said, making Letta smile. They finally sat in a chair with some snacks on it.
“Sit here,” Letta said, patting the chair, making Desi hesitant.
“Come on, accompany me to talk before Marco comes. He’ll probably drag me to accompany him again,” Letta said again, making Desi finally nod.
“You know, sometimes we have regrets in the end, and I don’t want you to experience that. Maybe for you, you’re still comfortable with your current life, but try to look at the outside world out there. Maybe there’s a lot you can do and it can also make you help people. Try to get out of this comfort zone and get to know more people around you. I’m not saying you should leave this house, but at least take a break for a while, because you’ve never taken a break from your work, right?” Letta said, making Desi silent.
“If I don’t work here, sometimes I’m confused about what to do. Besides, out there, I don’t have a place to live,” Desi said, making Letta silent.
“Have you been saving all your salary all this time?” Letta asked, making Desi nod her head.
“Yes, I’ve been saving it,” Desi replied.
“You can use that money to buy a house. And if you don’t occupy it, you can rent it out to others, right? Consider it as an investment that you can use later on,” Letta said, making Desi silent. For some reason, Desi sometimes liked to think about how her life was outside this large house owned by Marco, but to step out of this comfort zone, Desi seemed too reluctant.
“Are you surprised that I suddenly asked about this?” Letta asked as she looked at Desi’s expression, making Desi nod her head.
“I just don’t want your youth to be spent too long confined in this house. You should feel how liberating it is out there. Don’t let you experience what I have, getting a husband who confines you in this house. Although I am happy because now there is Freya by my side, I still don’t know anything out there. If without Marco, at least you should be able to stand on your own, so that you can step out of your comfort zone. I know that you are a strong woman who can do anything you want. I just want you not to arrange your life like this,” Letta said again, making Desi nod her head.
“Alright, ma’am. I will think about it. Thank you for your advice. Because of your advice, for some reason, I have a little courage to do what you say,” Desi said, making Letta smile.
“Yes, and after you really go out and see the outside world, I hope we can meet there. I also want to do whatever I want without having to think about what I have now,” Letta said, making Desi nod.
“Alright, ma’am. I will think about it. Thank you for your advice. Because of your advice, for some reason, I have a little courage to do what you say,” Desi said, making Letta smile.
“Yes, and after you really go out and see the outside world, I hope we can meet there. I also want to do whatever I want without having to think about what I have now,” Letta said, making Desi nod.
“Oh, do you know if Marco has ever been sick or anything like that?” Letta asked again, making Desi silent.
“I don’t think I have ever heard or known that the master has ever been sick or anything,” Desi said, making Letta nod her head.
“That means my husband is really very healthy, right? Yes, he always checks his health regularly. Of course, he has to have a strong body to manage all the business empires he owns. I’m proud of him,” Letta said with a smile, making Desi smile too. For some reason, the conversation with Letta now left something unfamiliar in her heart. Letta rarely asked about things far ahead, rarely did the lady talk at length about the future they would go through. Although there was no suspicion at all for Desi at this moment, Desi felt that Letta might have accepted her fate of forgetting some of her memories without Desi or anyone else knowing the real Letta.
