I went home the next week. Mr. Hall called me the moment I arrived at our house.
"Hello Mr. Hall."
"Belle,I am asking about the budget proposal of the company party."
"Yeah,sir. I sent it already to your gmail account."
"Really? Okay I'll check it out."
"How is the news about Mr. Raven's disappearance, Mr. Hall."
"No news until now. But I know he's in good hands,Belle."
"Yeah me too. I feel the same way too. Mr. Hall. My mom is looking for you. You should visit the house sometimes."
" when I'm free Mr. Hall. Please say hello for me. Thank you so much."
"Okay,that's all for now,Belle,see you."
I went inside.
I didn't see them.
"Ma!"
"Oh,Belle,good thing you're here. Harrison has a fever. It was raining yesterday and he helped your father making the garden in his farm. Now he is running a fever."
"What?"
I went to my room. I saw him lying on the bed. He's sleeping. I put my hand on his forehead. He's sick!
He gently opened his eyes. Those black eyes were looking at me. Where did I see these eyes? Harris?
"Are you okay?"
He nodded his head.
"I'm fine."
"You're sick."
"I'll be okay. Christmas is fast approaching. Will you come home?"
"Of course!"
I helped him to get up.
"Can I hug you?" He said.
I laughed at him. I opened my arms and enclosed him. I  tapped his back.
"Don't think too much." I said. He nodded his head.
"I want to live normally."
"Me too,I want you to do that."
I pulled off my arms.
He gave me his wallet. I got it and checked the insides.
I saw black card only.
"You might be rich!"
"What?" He said.
" Yeah,black card is only for rich people."
"Use that. "
"Really?"
"Hmm. Use it. Then maybe I would know what's my real name. In that way,you can call me by my name."
"I sometimes called you Harrison."
"No,I remember the story you told me about your boyfriends. I got pissed off."
"Crazy!"
"I want my own identity."
"Okay. Take a rest now. I'll get this one tomorrow when I go back to work. "
"Okay."
He lay down again. I pulled the duvet to his chest.
"Get well soon okay?"
"Yeah."
" I'll go out now."
"Hmm."
I went out.
"Belle,news about him?"
"Nothing. My boss son Mr. Hall,is lost. He has amnesia too. I was thinking what if he is my boss son?"
"Maybe. "
"But he's too kind. Raven is a little cold,ma."
"What?"
"Hmm. Then my classmate before who is now a doctor got into an accident and was in critical condition. People didn't know where he is."
"What if he is your classmate?"
"Maybe no. He is annoying same as Raven. But this man is not annoying. Definitely not. He is the total opposite of them."
"I don't know. The police also told your father to just take care of him. No one is looking for him too."
"Ahh. Okay."
"His family is not even looking for him. His wife?"
"Yeah. Crazy! That wife is terrible. Her husband is not in good condition but she let him leave from her sight."
"In the future,Belle,you should not do that to your husband. You should take care of each other."
"Yeah. I know that. Everything. But how can I applied it if the people I want to be with are missing!"
"Your love life is terrible."
"Pray for me Ma!"
"You pray. "
"Not enough!"
"How's office?"
"We're busy. Mr. Hall sometimes go out for business trips so I need to take care of the meetings and other appointments. It's hard."
"Do you want to continue studying medicine?"
"Yeah,Mr. Hall proposed to me that one Ma. Should I accept it?"
"Yeah. We can also help you. "
"Really Ma? I can study next semester?"
"Hmm. You can. "
" okay. I'll do that."
"I know you really want to be a doctor. But due to the situation,you can't. Now,it's time for you to fulfill your dreams."
" thanks Mom."
"But how about your work?"
"Maybe part time."
"Oh. You settle it then tell me."
"Thanks mom."
I watched my favorite drama when he went out from the room.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to drink water."
"Stay here. I'll get  some for you."
He walked towards me and sit next to me.
I got up and I saw my father.
"Dad,you're not yet sleeping?"
"Hmm,I still have to finish this one. This one is designed by Harrison. He wanted to put this in your room for your hairdresser."
"What?"
"Hmm. He never see any hairdresser inside. He must be thinking you put make up in the future."
"You take a rest now. You can continue that one tomorrow."
"Yeah. I'm not yet sleepy. How was he?"
"Still having a fever."
"He's really hardworking,Belle. I want like him for you. He is responsible too. So far I never got pissed off by his actions. "
"Good to know that."
I got a glass of water and left.
I gave it to him.
"I saw my hairdresser."
"Oh,,tsk,it is a surprise."
"Really? But I'm surprised. I didn't have idea putting makeup and do my hair in the future."
"You should do that."
"Why? I'm pretty."
"Fine. You are. I can tell father to destroy it."
"No,no I like it."
"Okay."
"Are you okay now?"
"Yeah. I already saw you."
He got his ring.
"Look at this. There's a name inside this ring."
I got the ring and checked if there is a name.
Isabella ~ R.H.H

"Isabella? Same my name?" I said.
"Yeah. It's coincidence right?"
"RHH? What's the meaning?"
"I don't know. But it doesn't matter."
"We have the same name of your wife. She must be very pretty too."
"Yeah. Maybe. I'm excited to see her."
My heart tightened.
"Is she excited too?"
"Yeah." I nodded my head.
I looked at the laptop. I didn't know if I have to watch this drama or go to sleep instead. Why I'm feeling this way?
He's silent too but he's still looking at the ring. What kind of life awaits for him? Is there someone waiting for him? Is his wife for real? Who is he?
