AFTER YOU BETRAYED

43 About Maya

"So how's Mom.. Did I pass the probation..? bowo asked when there were just the two of them he and Marissa.

"is this job so important to you ??" Marisa answered the question with a question

"of course ! I wandered into the city with the aim of finding a job, other than because photography is my hobby . long ago . yes as Maya said earlier , I used to love playing with cameras. !" Jawa Bowo "since I aspired to be a famous photographer . It's just that the ideals were hindered by the wishes of my parents, who wanted to make me the manager of her cattle farm. according to my parents playing with the camera is not a job" he continued.

"do you and Maya have a sibling relationship ??!" ask Marissa

"no , we're just neighbors in the village there and also playmates.just sometimes the hell not always because Maya where had time to play she had to work to survive "

"do you like Maya ?!" search Marissa

"to be honest in our village no one dislikes Maya, as a child who had been left dead by his parents and he only lived with an aunt and his aunt lived in poverty, he was so persistent. it was as if poverty was not something that was frightening to him. " Bowo paused his words his eyes glared Away. " She's a cheerful girl no matter what, she never cries, but I think it's in front of people . To be honest, I've seen her cry silently. under a tree by the river . !"

" I was about to fish, heard the sound of crying in broad daylight, by the river, I shuddered in horror, my body was goosebumps, and I honestly said this. It's up to you to laugh at me. At that time I thought it was the sound of the river-waiting dedemit.!" bowo's reddened face restrained the embarrassment Bowo's reddened face held in shame by what he had just said. .while Marissa herself covered her mouth to hold back the laughter from exploding from her lips

"no one was there only I saw him. Maybe he was always laughing cheerfully and happily just to cover his heart's pain. !" continued Bowo. "for this one thing about Maya who cried secretly, I hope you do not tell anyone , in fact I feel maybe Maya will be embarrassed if anyone sees her crying. !"

"is her aunt really poor ?" ask Marissa

"yes .they have nothing.Sometimes they live out of the mercy of the neighbors . whereas Maya herself is not actually a person who wants to be pitied.she works odd jobs , whatever people tell him to do as long as it makes money, to be able to feed his aunt who can't work, whether it's washing clothes, whether it's working in the fields or not , it became a porters' pelvis in the market, whatever it was .until eventually maybe Maya was inside the saturation point . and she asked her aunt's permission to work in the city."

"then if left behind by Maya go to town who's taking care of her aunt who you said couldn't work for?"

"May leave it to a neighbor, and Maya promises to send it money for each month .at first Maya leaves the necklace the only relic of her late mother . he left the necklace at my father's house and asked for money to be left to his aunt.that time Maya promised that if she came home then the necklace would be redeemed again, he asked for the necklace not to be sold. My father and mother assented it out of pity . and indeed now the necklace has been redeemed." said Bowo continued his story about Maya.

"sounds he's really special, ?!" Marisa tried to look down looking for changes in that face.

"he is special to those who love him.!" answer Bowo

"Have you ever been in love with her?!" marisa's question made that choke on her own saliva

"hahahahaha." bring a loud laugh at Marissa's question. "Bu Risa is just around the corner, anyone can like it .even I like it too ." Marisa gasped at the sentence, a phrase of liking addressed by Bowo to Maya

"because if it's just to like admiring, I think everyone in our village does admire Maya . only one person there didn't like it and it was actually still a blood relation or distant relative of Maya.!" bowo again

"is that Regita??!" Bowo surmised looking towards Marissa hearing Regita's name called

"Bu Risa also knows Regita?!" tanya Bowo was astonished.

"we're all in the main house getting to know Regita, and know the relationship between Maya and Regita. Regita is the girl who had an affair with Maya's lover long ago.When Maya was just a worker at the mother's shop.before Maya became a member of our family. and now Regita is married to Arman, Maya's ex-boyfriend." said Marissa.

"Maya became a member of the Miss Risa family because she was going to marry Rendy sir right?!" ask Bowo

"some time you'll know all about taxes it's not my realm to tell you !" answer Marissa

"Well... So how now should I call you? is Grand? or Bowo?"

"call me as comfortable as Ms Risa alone, the people in the village did call me Bowo . Only the family members in the house just called me by the name of Agung!"

"alright then I will call you Great, and oh yes, you don't need to call me mother, just call me Risa anyway it seems like we are the same age..!" continued Marisa

"where can it be like that ?! damage to my boss where I work is not polite at all if I call Miss Risa by name only.!"

"it doesn't matter at all to me, because you're Maya's friend, then you're my friend too. And from now on you've been actively working at my place.you'll be a photographer there . And hopefully later your dream of becoming a famous photographer will be implemented , through my boutique as a stepping stone.!"

"if my mother had accepted me at my mother's place of course I would only work there boutique Bu Marisa is also not a random boutique that I know from the internet that I have been looking for boutique Bu Marisa is even famous and has branches abroad called a pride if you want to keep me to work at the mother's place. "

"but the captive of that job I'll cancel if you still call me mom I think I'm getting old !" tasteful Marissa

"but...?!"

"no but-fireplace!"

"alright Ma'am, em.. I mean Risa..!".
