Christmas is approaching. I bought gifts for my family. I also include Mr. Hall's family. I know they don't need this but it's the thoughtfulness I wanted them to know.
I tried to use his black card for the smoothie. I was about to sip the juice when I read the receipt I received.
Account name: Raven Harrison Hall
My hands shook. My body stiffened. He is Raven.
Why I didn't know that the man I allowed to stay in my place is the son of my boss?
My tears ran down to my cheeks.
I tried to think what should I do.
"What should I do?"
I cried.
"Miss,are you okay?" The staff said to me. I nodded my head. I carried all the paper bags. I went back to my apartment. Lee and Jonah were there already. I put my things in my room.
"Lee,Jonah,can we talk?"
They are worried about me. I'm crying already.
"What happened?" Lee asked me.
"Are you pregnant? Who's the father?" Jonah said.
I was crying in front of them.
"Lee,I feel bad right now."
"Why? Can you stop crying?"
"Lee,Mr. Hall's son disappeared last six months ago. He was worried and to think,he went to the police station to inform the authorities about him. That time,I went home. On my home,I met a man. He has amnesia. He wanted to stay with us since he feel safe. We reported it to the police in my hometown. But no one has informed them that someone disappeared. The police allowed us to take care of him. My parents did since I was here working. Now,he found out that there was a wallet in his jacket. There's no cash but only this black card. He has ring too and a name Isabella~ RHH written on it. That RHH is just an initial. I really don't know what's the meaning. Now, he asked me to use the black card because he wanted to know his identity. So I did today, Lee,Jonah..I feel bad when I found out. I received the receipt and the name Raven Harrison Hall was written on it.  All along he was in my house and his family were so worried about him. I don't know from the very start."
They were silent.
"Wait,you mean to say? He was staying in your place for about six months?"
"Yes. He did."
"Wait,who is he?" Jonah asked me.
"Raven Harrison Hall." I answered.
Jonah was surprised to hear the name. She put her hands on her mouth.
"You mean to say,my doctor was living in your house with your parents?" She said.
"Wait? Doctor? Mr. Hall?" Lee said.
"Yeah,he's my doctor. He got into an accident when I was still in the hospital. But it was being kept confidential by the management." She said.
" I've met your doctor. He is our classmate way back when we were classmate! " Lee said.
"What?" I said.
"He is Harrison when we were in University." Lee looked at me.
"Oh my god! Lee ,Jonah,what should I do?"
"Let him stay in your house. Don't say anything." Lee told me.
"What?"
"Yeah,it's still Christmas."
"What about Mr. Hall."
"You tell him. He needs to know."
"What if he got angry?"
"That's for you to find out."
"I'm scared."
They hugged me.
"The man in your dreams is just next to you. I'm happy for you." Lee exclaimed.
"I don't know what to say to Mr. Hall."
" You can do it!" They tapped my shoulder. They left when they think I'm fine already.
"Belle,congratulations! You're getting married next year." Jonah said.
"Whatever."
I was thinking how to say it to my boss. I'm sure he would get angry to me.

I went back to my room. I wrapped the gifts that I bought today. I looked at the shirt that I would give to him.
"I even told him about my 'boyfriends story',and in the end, I was telling it to the man I'm talking about."
I checked my wristwatch. It's still seven in the evening.
I decided to go to the mansion. I called Mr. Hall.
"Mr. Hall,good evening. I would like to come to the mansion,are you all there?"I asked him.
" Yeah,Belle,we are all here. Why? What happened?"
"Mr. Hall,I'm sorry. We will talk when I arrived."
I brought the black card and the receipt. I got my car key. This car is my service going to the office. That's why I commute when I went back home.
"Lee,I'm going out!"
"Okay. Be back early. Take care."
"Yeah."
I drove off and went to the mansion. I arrived after thirty minutes. The gate opened when I called the guard.
"Good evening ma'am!"
I nodded my head. I parked the car and got inside. They are still in the living room. His siblings are there too. Bettina and Harris were noisy at the movie they watched.
"Hello,Belle!" Harris said. I smiled.
"Hello,sissy!" Bettina hugged me.
I cried already. I was scared on how to start the confession.
"Belle,what happened?" Grandma assisted me to sit on the sofa. She sat next to me.
"Mr. Hall,Mrs. Hall,Grandma.. I'm very sorry."
"Why?" Mr. Hall said.
I showed to them the black card and the receipt.
" It's Raven's black card." Mr. Hall said.
"Mr. Hall,I didn't know from the very start that he is your son."
"What? I can't understand, Isabella." Mr. Hall said.
"Is my son alive?" Mrs. Hall asked me. Harris and Bettina stopped from bickering when they heard their brother's name.
"When I went home,last six months ago,I met a man who has amnesia. I didn't know who is he. He stayed in my place. My parents took care of him since I'm here working. Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it."
They were all silent.
"Belle, my brother is at your house?" Bettina asked me. I nodded my head. Grandma hugged me with too much happiness.
"I'm happy that he is fine." She said.
"How is he now?" His mother talked to me.
"He's doing fine. He's memory is getting better. He can remember some fragmented images. "
"Oh,thank God!" Mr
Hall said.
"I will tell him this week about this Mr. Hall and maybe you can pick him up too." I told them.
"No,let him stay in your house as much as he wanted to." Mrs. Hall said.
"Yeah,let him celebrate Christmas in there too." Grandma said suddenly.
"How about you?" I asked them.
"Belle,if that's fine with your family to celebrate Christmas together." Mr. Hall said. I wiped my tears.
"Of course Mr. Hall."
Mrs. Hall hugged me.
"Thank you Bella,for taking care of my son."
"I didn't know him from the very start. If I would know I would tell you immediately."
"It's fine. Don't worry. We aren't angry at you. But we are grateful. " Grandma said.
"This cranky son never stopped to amaze me." Mr. Hall said.
"Thank you so much" I cried.
Everyone is really happy when they know about the news.
I feel the thorn was just pulled out from my heart.
Harris read the receipt.
"Smoothie?"  He said.
"Black card? You just buy smoothie? You should buy a signature dress." Bettina told me. I laughed.
"I can't."
"Fine,keep that." Mrs. Hall said.
"What?"
"It's his money,Bella. He worked hard on it so we don't have the right to get his card."
"Maybe it is better you give this to him."
"No,you can do it. By the way, drop the formalities, Bella. Don't call me Mrs. Hall. You are part of this family already. Call me Mom."
"What?" I was shocked. Everyone is looking at me.
"You don't like mom,sissy?" Bettina said sadly.
"No,not that."
"Then call me mom. You're his angel. You should call me Mom and Dad to Mr. Hall. " she said happily.
"But I can't. You are my boss."
"So should we fire you then you call us Mom and dad.?"
"Ahh okay,Mr. Hall."
"What?"
"Ahh yeah M-mom."
They laughed.
Mrs. Hall hugged me again..
"What should I do if my family didn't meet you,Bella?" She whispered.
I feel I found a new home from them. I looked at the black card.
Christmas is almost two weeks. I hope he can remember.
I wish he can remember.
