Flashback - Who Will Marry Me?

"Thank you," Revania said earnestly.

"It's okay, Madam. You should be more careful. Especially in a small town like this, it wouldn't be so safe if you were too flashy with the clothes you were wearing." Helena gave a friendly grin, and she straightened herself up.

"Striking? Do you think my clothes are too flashy?" Revania asked in disbelief, glancing at Meghan. Whereas, Revania asked for a simple dress so that she could interact with her people naturally.

"Hahaha... Compared to the clothes I'm wearing, of course, it's a lot different." Helena laughed at herself.

"Hey Helena, are you disturbing my customer?" The cloth shop owner glanced at Helena grinning,

"Mr. Brian? Don't worry. I just saved your customer from losing the contents of her bag." Helena explained as she rubbed her ear because Brian, the middle-aged man shouted at her too loudly.

"It's a lucky day for you, Madam. Unlike me. Haha... That crooked Ron paid a fortune for the invention I found. Luckily I kept important things he didn't know about." Helena said, trying to express her annoyance, to someone she didn't think would know what she was talking about at that time.

"What do you mean?" Revania furrowed her brow in surprise because she knew what Helena was talking about,

Helena's wide smile grew wider, "Never mind, Madam. Forget what I said earlier. Ah... And I have to go home. Please enjoy yourself in Aidon City, and be careful. Because this small town is too dangerous for a beautiful woman like you ." Helena said with bowing cheerfully, and after that, she left Revania and Meghan just like that.

"Meghan," Revania called, with her eyes still staring at Helena was getting away.

"Yes?" Meghan replied in surprise and bowed respectfully, thinking what else she had done wrong.

"Investigate her! And what it has to do with Ron, the crooked man?" Revania said following Helena, for using the nickname on Ron. Meghan, who was beside him, was again stunned and surprised.

"Very well, Queen Majesty," Meghan replied that she had no other choice but to obey, even though she was wondering in her heart. Why should he investigate the girl? And what does that have to do with Ron – the old professor in the town of Aidon.

Day after day, Helena has lived as the daughter of a farmer. She still has to work hard. Not to mention the high hospital costs, and indeed at that time, she was in dire need of a lot of money.

Helena's life is far from simple. Everything must begin and end with the word enough and more often less.

That afternoon she was working in the fields when her kind neighbor offered her a small job so she could help pick up the corn harvest.

The Weasleys were very kind, even considering Helena as their daughter. Probably, because the Weasleys had no children and their good relationship with their grandmother.

That afternoon Helena was in the middle of the field together with Mr. Weasley, in a small truck and several other employees, starting to move the harvest.

"Helena, tonight we will have a dinner party, together with the other employees. I hope you can come for dinner." Mr. Weasley exclaimed.

Helena was weighing each harvest, then she put it in a big sack.

"Looks like I can't, Mr. Weasley. I'll be working for Mr. Brian tonight. There are some big orders from across town. And he needs my help. I'm so sorry, Mr. Weasley. I can't attend." Refuse Helena politely and still busy recording all the harvest.

"You're working too hard, Helena. You're still young. Maybe you'd better get married soon, and give this burden to your future husband." Mr. Weasley looked at the young girl with sympathy and pity.

Helena reacted differently. She held back her amusement when she heard Mr. Weasley's idea.

"Married? Hahaha... Who will marry me, Mr. Weasley? I didn't even continue my schooling, I only have a grandmother. And I'm very poor, and slum. Which man would want to be with me, someone just glances at me I'm already very grateful." Helena said, trying to smile, but in her heart, she thought sadly.

From a distance Mrs. Weasley's footsteps were hasty, her face was getting redder, and the sun was shining directly on her face.

"What's wrong, honey? Why do you look so panicked?" Mr. Weasley asked approaching his wife.

"Helena... The hospital." Said Mrs. Weasley was still panting for breath. Even Mr. Weasley had to hold his wife's arm because he was worried.

Helena just remembered that she gave the Weasleys' phone number s an emergency number to call. Because Helena is poor. In a very sophisticated era to buy a cell phone, she will not be able to afford it.

"What is it, Mrs. Weasley? You scared me so much?" Helena asked also became panicked at the same time.

With the clothes still the same and some soil stains that are visible and sticking. Helena had rushed to the hospital, to immediately meet the only family she loved so much.

"Grandma... Grandma..." Helena muttered as she ran across the hospital corridor.

"Oh... God, I beg you not to take my grandmother." Helena said without realizing it was already shedding tears quickly.

Helena stopped in front of her grandmother's room door. A man wearing a white lab coat had just come out along with a nurse who looked cynically at Helena.

"Miss Helena." Said the male doctor.

"Doctor, what about grandmother's condition? I beg you to save her. I beg you, doc..." The sobs just came out without Helena knowing, pulling the doctor's coat tightly.

"If you want your grandmother's life to be safe, then immediately resolve the administrative problem and we can immediately remove the tumor, which has made your grandmother's condition worse and suffering."

"But... I don't have the money for that much. My grandmother was able to go to the hospital because of the kindness of the Weasleys... I can't burden them anymore... Please, Doctor. Is there nothing else I can do? So that my grandmother's life, can be saved?" Helena's moans grew louder with her sobs.

"I'm sorry Miss Helena, I can't be of any more help. If it's like this, then we'll just have to wait until when your grandmother can survive." Said the doctor, let go of Helena's hand and after that left Helena in her sobs.

Helena sat cross-legged in front of the door of her grandmother's room, unable to bear to see her grandmother's condition would make her heart more sliced.

"Grandma... hk... hk... God, what should I do? I don't want to lose my grandma, she is my only family." Helena said, still crying.

In her sobs that were still heartbreaking, she suddenly saw a pair of luxurious red shoes already near her.

The owner of the shoes wearing long black pants. Her legs looked very long, and Helena had to lift her head to see who was beside her.

A pair of blue eyes, the same color as her eyes, stared at her, and her blonde hair was neatly tied in an elegant ponytail.

Helena seemed to recognize the face, even though she had not seen the woman for almost two weeks.

The woman who had been in Mr. Brian's clothing store, the beautiful woman who almost lost her bag.

"Madam?" Helena said confused.

"Why are you here, madam?" Helena slowly got up, quickly wiping the remaining tears from her eyes.

She looks embarrassed because her appearance is inversely proportional to the beautiful woman in front of her.

"Have you been crying, Helena? I know what you're going through." She said with a sweet smile that she showed for the first time for Helena.

"What do you mean?" Helena asked nervously and scared at the same time because the woman knew her name. Even though they have never officially met.

"You need a lot of money for your grandmother's treatment, don't you? And I can help her." Revania said explaining, with a confident attitude.
