A Hijab for Me

eps.16 market

Utari POVs

"Huh.huh..huh..." My breath gasped for running. But I was curious, what exactly are they talking about, and why does it seem so secret.

I went back to that place, but not to eavesdrop, but to meet my brother. I got to where I was, but I saw they were both gone.

I kept looking for him and met them in the living room. Looks like my brother is leaving again.

"Sir Farhan wait...!" I yelled at my brother.

I approached my brother while running.

"Sister, please take me home, brother, I'm afraid here, I can't sleep at night, especially if there's a guy." He pointed at Aldo who was beside my brother.

My brother only looked at Aldo in confusion, while Aldo only smiled arrogantly.

"From the beginning I didn't have a house." My brother assured me.

"Whose house is that?" I'm getting more confused.

"I. That's the house next to me." Obviously brother.

"Sister, you don't have to joke." I still can't believe it. But my brother kept quiet.

"So much so I was brought here for what, he said, but here I was not even given any duty, instead I was forbidden to touch it, forbidden to touch this, and I still why is my brother here?" I said all the grunts in my heart.

"wwwS... You mean duty?, your brother didn't say you'd just sit, sleep, relax and go to school again... Because you're gonna be my sister, oww or. if you want, so one of my women can be." Aldo's ejek with a face so annoying.

"Get me." Reply firmly.

"Sister... What the hell is it, I'm not sure if you really sell me, I believe you're not that person." I asked my sister again.

Judging from the look on his face, it seems like big brother is difficult to answer my question. Aldo's phone rings.

"What's wrong?" Aldo answered his cell phone call.

"What..." Suddenly Aldo looked very surprised, then he whispered something into my brother's ear.

My sister was also surprised. They fell silent and immediately left the place with a few people.

I feel neglected for the umpteenth time. I went back to my room. I take ablution water and perform Ashar prayers.

Even in this situation, I still have to remember my god and my religion. I must continue to carry out my duties as his people.

A few minutes passed, and I continued to pray. To ask forgiveness for all sins as well as fortitude and sincerity in undergoing this test. I am sure there will be something beautiful as long as we try and be patient in living the test of life.

I took off my Muken and put my hijab back on. As soon as I came to my senses, I left the Qur'an given by Ustadz in the boarding house.

I regret it so much, but that's the only memory of the good times.

I returned to the living room to relax, and I saw the person who had been assigned to watch over me while I was locked up that day sitting on the porch. And I called him.

"Hey sir..." I approached him.

"What's wrong? He said lazily to me

"You're not going with the others?" Ask her. He breathed and answered.

"He asked me but I refused. I'm afraid to trouble them, I'll just be a burden on his mission. I'm the worst member here,, hiks..." He seems to get carried away.

"Fttt... I held back my laughter, and patted her on the back, hey sir, you didn't see your boss giving her trust in you that much, and it looks like you're also very familiar with her. He must have felt there was something special about you." I tried to calm him down.

"really?" Ask me.

"Of course, and you're not the worst here either, you don't see me, I'm the worst one here, I'm just lounging around all the time." I keep trying to make myself proud.

And finally she smiled and thanked me. We spend a lot of time chatting, even he also tells a lot of silly behavior from his Boss, of course it's Aldo. We laugh at it together.

"Oh yeah, because it seems familiar now just call me uncle." Her request.

"Pa...man?, okay agreed" I agreed

"And do you know, the woman who works here?, she's my wife." He explained it to me.

"You mean Aunt, of course I know, she's a very patient woman." My answer.

It turns out that the person I was talking to was one of the people who took care of Aldo since he was 15 years old. I don't know why he was taken care of by that guy, and I don't intend to ask him either.

"Oh yes uncle... Is there a market or not?" I'm herting him again.

"There, but quite far, it may be reached by taking an angkot.

Tomorrow...

"Gee... People are gone yes today." not even yesterday's uncle was there either. I decided to take a shower and go to the market.

Upon arrival at the market I looked around at the clothes, hijab, and I looked at a merchant who sold many books. There are so many good books.

The few minutes I was there, I felt like someone was watching me. I opened my eyes and suddenly turned my back. I saw a very suspicious man.

"Oww... That must be Aldo's men, right?" I got everything I was looking for, so I decided to go home.

~My daily activity is the same so we skip until the time of dawn.~

Because no one is fasting here but me. I also don't know if my brother is fasting or not, because we're different houses. I decided to cook alone.

Because even at the cottage I rarely get the cooking task, until now my cooking skills are well that way. I cook while watching cooking tutorials.

"Aaaah.. is very complicated, tau gini earlier all buy side dishes that can be warmed." murmured me.

"Eh... The water's too hot." My cooking method is very irregular. And...

"Klontaa..." I dropped the lid off the pot because it was hot.

"Who is it..." Aldo seemed to have woken up.

He came down the stairs and saw me. He approached me and asked.

"What are you doing?" Her speech.

"You don't see, I'm cooking." My answer.

Aldo looked around at the situation in the kitchen and spoke again.

"Emmm... But it looks like you're not cooking now, but you're destroying my kitchen." He said in a slow tone but suddenly turned into a high tone.

"Sttts... People are sleeping, do you want to wake them all up. Saying to him.

"Didn't you see, it was you who woke me up with your brisque voice." He said while putting his hands on his waist.

For a few seconds I was silent and looked down at feeling guilty.

"Hey... Move aside." Aldo said to me.

He took over my job. His hands were so good at doing it, he stirred fried rice in teflon like a professional chef.

"Wowww.it..." I can only be amazed.

He even served my food on a plate.

"Here we eat, we share two, I happen to be hungry too." Aldo said to me.

We ate both at that time. I was trying to make a topic of conversation. But he kept telling me to be quiet. Until I discussed the incident.

"You're secretly very considerate huh." I said to Aldo.

He just kept quiet and continued eating.

"You even told your bodyguards to watch me on the market." Keep talking. And suddenly.

"Ohooks..." Aldo immediately rebates.

"Did you say you were at the market." Aldo was confused.

"Hey... Don't pretend you don't know." My answer.

"You said someone was watching you, do you know, today everyone went with me on errands."

"A. What do you mean, so that person wasn't..." I haven't finished my talk.

"I told you not to try to get out." Aldo seemed very angry.

"Yes... Yes, I'm sorry." My answer.

"Do you know you can destroy the plan." Aldo was very angry, and stood up to finish his meal.

"And I said sorry, why do you keep getting angry." I shed tears.

On one side Aldo continued his steps.
