A week has passed since that night. Aline lived her life in peace and tranquility. Although sometimes he still asked who, curious how the man he helped that night. Is it okay or how.
Aline's finances are also improving. He can already buy some furniture and a laptop to complete his needs. The money he borrowed was returned to the mbok through the account of a friend. Aline has also contacted her ART frequently, asking about the news of her parents and brother. Papi and Mami are currently on vacation in Copenhagen, the hometown of his maternal grandfather. His two brothers were busy and almost never came home. The mbok also told me that his two brothers had hired detectives to look for his whereabouts. Even without Aline asking, the mbok never told Aline whereabouts to his family. He wanted his own little mona to contact one of his employers. Right now, the mbok is happy enough to hear that his little lady is doing well and living life well even far across the island. He is happy if his little miss does not hold a grudge, even though he knows his little lady's heart is still very disappointed. "Let time heal his wounds" thought the mbok.
Aline had just finished exchanging news with the mbok. Time has shown at 8:00 a.m. Aline immediately prepared to go to the Holy Mother's house. It was his last day working there. Yes, Aline has made his point to stop working at the Holy Mother's house. Aline intends to find another job or open a small business, besides he works at the Abah restaurant, with the rest of his savings are not enough but to capitalize his business later.
At first the Holy Mother objected, she was already affectionate with the sweet girl. Not to mention if the husband and his son really like the work of Aline. But how else, Aline deserves a better job. He knew the girl had a lot of potential in her, clearly visible from her innate and flexible movements. Although he had seen Rendi and Aline interact several times, but the Holy Mother understood that their interaction and closeness were no more than just friends. Rendi already has Elisha who is also kind and sweet. If he had another son, he would be happy if Aline became his daughter-in-law. Ah, if only.
Aline arrived at the Holy Mother's house twenty minutes later. All residents of this house are still struggling with their respective affairs at work and school. Only my aunt is home. The middle-aged woman was cleaning the house. Soon he did his job.
Two hours later Aline was done with her work. He went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He saw that aunt was sitting on the dining chair while rubbing her waist with a balm.
"Why is the waist, Bi?" tanyanya is attentive.
" Eh, Sister Aline. It's Auntie's waistband gout. Understandably old, Ma'am."
"Is this Aunt going to cook?"
"Yes, Mother. I'll be home soon."
"Yes, if so let me just cook, Bi. Aunty just sit down and rest there!" aline Pinta.
"No need, Ma'am. Aline's mom has been helping Auntie out here a lot."
"No papa, Bi. I'm glad I could help. There is still time. Consider this a farewell, Bi, heheheheh."
"Mister Aline really wants to stop?"
"Yes, Bi. I'll cook first Bi."
"Yes, Ma'am. Thanks very much. Later Bibi will be lonely if there is no more Ma'am Aline," he added.
"Auntie can do it. This is what his gurame plan is to make, Bi?"
"You fried sambel ijo aja same capcay plan earlier, Mbak Aline. You see, this morning Mas Rendi asked for a seafood menu today. But Auntie's gout from earlier has not healed, so choose a simple cook to finish quickly."
"Try some medicine, Bi."
"Yes, Ma'am, Bibi's going to the pharmacy."
"Yes, I masakin gurame black sauce, spicy fat shrimp just as capcay ya Bi. The ingredients are all in the refrigerator" Aline said after ransacking the contents of Holy Mother's refrigerator.
"Well good, Ma'am. Aunty was sitting here not papa?"
"Oh, no papa Bi."
Then Aline began her cooking activities with full concentration. Starting from splitting the fish, frying it into flying fish to make its black sauce. Then cook the shrimp and squid, and the capcay.
It did not take long the cooking was finished, coinciding with the sound of the bell indicating something was coming. Immediately the aunt opened the door for Holy Mother and Rendi who came together.
"Hhhhmmmm .. so good to smell!" praise the Holy Mother approached Aline who was chopping fruit as a complement to the menu that afternoon.
Holy Mother immediately washed her hands and helped arrange the dishes.
"I want to eat right away, Ma. It's laper!" pinta Rendi's.
"You've been coming home for lunch lately, tumben really, it used to be hard to ask for forgiveness at home for lunch!" protest of the Holy Mother to her son.
"This was me who asked for seafood menu with Auntie. But it's Aline who cooks. Hmmm, it looks so delicious."
"You are the mode. Mama observed that every time Aline's schedule works, you almost always go home for lunch" chirped the Holy Mother blatantly.
"That's how Mom feels. I'm the boss also having lunch outside, Ma. Sometimes want to eat at home, time can not? It's healthier. Really not, Lin?"
"Eh, yes really, Mas," startled, Aline who was suddenly carried around in the conversation of the mother and child.
"Eat him a piece of marriage with Sister Elisha, Mas. Let there be something masakin", said Aline jahil.
"Thu .. uhuk ...." Joints choked hearing Aline's chirps.
"Eating the real dong, Ren! Aline said. When did you set the same date as Elisha. Do you want a year of fiancee not going forward?" grouse Holy Mother.
"Wait for the play date, Ma. Lu too, Lin, don't go fishing!" threaten him with a joking tone.
Threatened only grimace.
"If you've cut the fruit, the quarry is sitting here, eating!"
"No, Mas Rendi. I eat at home. I cooked this morning before I went here. Poor later redundant. I say prayers first, Mom, Mas."
Then Aline passed to the musholla in the house to perform Dzuhur prayer.
After Aline
"Ren, I see you're pretty familiar with Aline. You don't have any intentions, do you?"
"What kind of stuff does Mama mean?"
"Yes, cheating on Elisha or playing Aline?"
"Thu ..uhuk ...." Rendi again grabbed the water in the glass and gulped it down to three gulps. Although the tone asked her mama is quite light, but the meaning is very deep.
"Yes, Ma. I am amazed by him. Still young, all can. Beautiful don't ask, people look half bule. But he's not shy about the work of the kek gini. Sometimes I wonder. Looks like such a model can be up to the work of a gini cake. He's smart, Ma. Any story is the same he must have connected. The insights are broad."
"Yes, Mama agrees with you. If Mama still had a son, Mama would want him to be Mama's daughter-in-law. Demen Mama has a ghost like her."
The sound of the smartphone of Holy Mother was loud stopping the conversation of the mother and child who was eating lunch. Soon the Holy Mother grabbed him, shifted the green button and placed the flat object in his ear.
Rendi who was enjoying her lunch delicacy just stole the listen.
"What's up, Ma?" she asked as soon as her mother ended the call.
"Here, the Eagle's mother, tell Aline to her house."
"To his house? Why, Ma?"
"You say thank you he said because it helped him the other day," Then the story of Aline who helped Bu Luna who had a heart attack.
"That's right, Ma. I'm sure Aline isn't a random person."
"Yes, Mama agrees! But it's already yes. Mama won't take a headache. To be sure, feeling Mama says that Aline is a good person and sholeh. And that's proven to this day that Mama knows him. He never fucked his son."
"Bu, Mum. Excuse me to go home first. All pamit. Thank you so much for everything. I'm sorry if I made a mistake with my family".
"Eh Aline, I'm done praying. You're not here anymore, Lin?"
"Yes, Mom."
"For a moment Lin!" The Holy Mother passed to her room. Picked up an envelope she had prepared since last night, the girl's last paycheck. Then he went back to the dining room. It looks like Aline is saying goodbye to aunt.
"Lin, here's your last paycheck. There is little from Mom and Dad. Not how much, but smoga can be useful. Thank you so much for your help all this time. If you change your mind, don't call me."
"Okay, Mom, thank you so much. Give my regards to Father and Grandpa."
"If you like, play here often, Ms. Aline".
"Yes, Bi."
"Oh yes, Lin, Miss Luna just called Mom, she asked you to stop by her house after coming from here. Can you?"
"Hhhm .. about what needs, Mom?"
"Well, I don't know either. Mending you just ask the same person, yes."
"Oh, yes. If so, I will go straight to it."
"Bareng me, Lin. I also want to go back to the office. But I pray for prayer. Wait in the car! Keep the key on the bofet," said Rendi. Making Aline want to not want to take the keys to Rendi's car even though he was a little hesitant with the man.
"Oh, it's okay. Joints don't bite," joked the Holy Bu who saw Aline's reluctance.
Aline nodded and passed by waiting for Rendi on the terrace. He was confused where to sit later in Rendi's car.
In Rendi's car, there's not much they talk about. Rendi just asked the reason he stopped working, then what his activities after this and other light talks, until Rendi's car stopped right in front of the gate of Luna's house. After Aline got off, she immediately returned to the office.
Aline entered the mansion. He knocked on the door of ethnic circles with intricate carvings.
Bi Inah opened the door for him.
"Come, Neng! I've been waiting for Madam," the aunt invited her guests in.
Bu Luna welcomes Aline at her home. In the middle room was filled by two handsome men who Aline believed were the children of Luna. One was sitting on the carpet under the couch doing something on his laptop, while the other one was sitting relaxed still with a work suit in a rocking chair in the corner of the room while playing his gadget.
"Sat, Lang, you know, Aline, who at the time was going through a heart attack." The two handsome men walked over to Aline and Bu Luna.
"Satria" said the man sitting by the sofa.
"Elangs. Thank you for not helping Mama at that time" said the man who sat in the corner earlier.
"You sit down first, Lin. Auntie call Om first," she leaves Aline with her two sons.
"Yes, Mom."
"Auntie, Lin! Don't call her 'mother' everything!"
"Call Mama can too, Lin. Mas sincere." timpal Satria who got delicacy from his mother. Aline who was teased so was just silent. Bi Inah came to bring drinks and snacks for Aline and her employer. "This old address, treated to a banquet," he said.
"Drink, Lin. Even dumbly."
"Eh, yes, Mas. Thanks." Thanks."
"Lo from home?"
"So. I'm from work."
"Oooooo-o. Work where? Model?" guess Satria is sober.
"No, Mas. I work at the house of the Holy Mother."
"Gue thought lo models. Though you are very good on camera," he said while showing the results of his expensive camera shots to Aline.
"Mas Satria is not polite take my photo not permission first!"
"The name is also a candid photo, it does not need permission. Relax, I will not pellet. Yes, monggo at his snack. I want to continue with my college assignment first. Dizziness my nutmeg..........."
The eagle simply observed the conversation of the pair of humans in front of him without intending to go along in it. He pretended to play a gadget, but from now on he resisted being annoyed because there were no signs if the girl recognized him. No one ever forgets his presence. Everyone who has met him, will immediately recognize him when they meet again. But this pashmina girl isn't. He seems to have never met before. "When he was groping my face, even to reduce bruising at that time, but still it was fingered, right? Time not remember at all? Truly this girl," bathin Eagle. There was a little bit of an unacceptable feeling in his heart. He still pretends to be with his gadget while eavesdropping on the talk of his sister and her mother's guests. Her ears straightened as soon as she heard the girl suggest one of the economic reference books that S2 students in Europe used to complete their thesis. Satria followed his advice and surfed in cyberspace. Soon he had praised the girl for finding what she was looking for for her college assignment. Then they drift back in unimportant talk, according to the Eagle.
Soon Eagle opens the w.a application and writes to Rendi. His curiosity was already at the god level.
Hawk : The lawyer Lo in my house.
(send)
Rendi: He's not a lawyer, just help ironing!
(send)
Yes know. I was the one who ran into your house.
(send)
Eagle : Whatever. What's he finished?
(send)
Brandy: Tumben lu kepo. Usually do not care. Can't see the pretty girl Lu ye!
(send)
Eagle : Damn you. I seriously.
(send)
Lollipop: Don't know me. He's a good boy.
Smart and delicious cuisine pake bang😋
This afternoon I ate at home, cooking him.
Crazy one! Delicious beneeeerr😋
(send)
Eagle: I don't think so, bego!
(send)
Rendi : I'm just giving you information.
Times you need additional information😉
(send)
Eagle: Emot lo, Nyet! Make me vomit
(send)
Rendi : 🤣🤣🤣
(send)
Eagle: You know, there are no benefits!
(send)
Rendi : 🤣🤣🤣
(send)
"Damn it!" hisses. Eagle closed his chat app rudely. Rendi did not help anything, even more damaging to his mood. Damnit. He was very curious. How could the girl mention the reference book. That means the girl also mastered English, right? And she works as a maid at Rendi's house. How could? All the questions that flashed across the Eagle's head were nothing he could answer. All dead-end. His mood was completely dropped by that endless curiosity. Want to ask directly, obviously it's impossible. They even just knew each other.
"Aarrrrghhh!!!"
The eagle moved out of his seat and moved into the kitchen, enjoying his favorite setoples of potato crackers. From there he saw the pashmina girl sitting comfortably seduced by her sister. Satria tried to take her picture again. While the girl always tries to avoid.
"Don't take pictures of me, Mas. I don't like it!" enragedly.
Then, Mama and Papa joined in. His sister and her parents were talking to the pashmina girl right now. The eagle was still faithfully looking at the girl. I hope he remembers what happened that night.
Long he waited. Satria has moved on to campus.
"Ma, Pa, I'm back in the office. There's still business."
"Hhhhmm, Lang. Skalian please anterin Aline go home!" gunawan said, the Eagle's papa.
"Eh, no need, Om, Auntie. I can go home by myself."
"It's okay. You want to go home. The eagle's coming back to the office."
"Eh .. but that's .. don't go, thank you!"
"Udah, hunted! I'm taking it in."
"Yes already. There Lin! Thanks for coming to visit. Play here again sometime!" Bu Luna and her husband drove Aline and Eagle to his car.
The Eagle and Aline
"Pa, what do you think, papa?"
"What, Ma?"
"Yes Aline, Pa. Cook the Eagle anyway?"
"Hehehehehe .... Looks like a good boy. If from the nature of him earlier, it looks smart. Beautiful anyway, seduced continue the same Satria, hahahahah ...."
"Oh, Papa is laughing."
"It's funny, Ma. Aline seduced Satria, but the Eagle's badmood."
"Ah, the hell time, Pa? How do you not know?"
"Mama doesn't pay attention to her son, hahahaha."
"Come on, the Papa laughed a lot!"
"Pa, in the office there's work for Aline, right?"
"Well, you said, if the story of the Holy Mother, this Aline has no identity, no diploma, so he worked as an ironworker at his home."
"Yes, Mama remembers, Pa. But Mama pityes him. Cooking beautiful and smart so that it becomes iron workers. Papa helpin dong, Pa. If Papa asked, surely the company would not have a problem. Besides, if there wasn't him yesterday, maybe Mama would have ...."
"Huuussssh .. already Ma. This is Papa Bantuin. What is it that doesn't make Papa's beloved wife?"
"Father is indeed the best and most understanding husband of Mama!"
"Before, Papa called Mr. Rahman first."
Mr. Gunawan also chatted briefly on his phone line with Mr. Rahman, HRD Manager Atmaja Group. After reaching an agreement, the call was terminated.
"Where, Pa?"
"It's done, Ma. When Aline wants, we'll take her to Mr. Rahman. Now just find out how to deliver to Aline."
"If it's leave it to Mama, Pa!"
