Eternal Promises
The Part 16
In the morning, before leaving for work Darwin drove Evano to school. The usual task performed by Asmira was taken over by him. Because he does not want his wife to do activities that will make his fetus why-why.
“Learn right yes, Nak?” pinta Darwin when Evano got out of the car he nodded and waved at his father.
15 Minutes later Darwin arrived at the office. His gaze was slightly disturbed by the presence of Yunita waiting for him in the parking lot.
“What more did that crafty woman come here,” Darwin watered down as she moved closer to Yunita.
“Good morning Mr. Darwin,” greet Yunita smiling sweetly.
“What's up?” ask Darwin coldly.
“I just want to give you this file.”
Yunita thrust a map at Darwin, he grabbed the map and read it. Darwin frowned, a moment later he finished reading it.
“Good! I'd rather work with a man,” Darwin said.
The map Yunita gave was a profile of a man who would replace her handling the big project they were working on together.
“Yes, Mr. Darwin. Most likely, tomorrow he will arrive in his homeland,” Yunita said again.
Darwin smiled wryly, still with the typical Director aura, he was very elegant and classy.
“Good, I'm sorry.” Then Darwin immediately stepped in leaving Yunita still standing there.
While at Asmira's house, she was engrossed in watching a video about the pregnancy that was accidentally downloaded by Darwin to eliminate the saturation of Asmira at home.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. With a little laziness he got up to the front door.
Before opening the door he peeked behind the window curtains, a middle-aged woman with a large tote bag in her hand stood in front of the door. Slowly Asmira opened the door, she smiled kindly at the old woman.
“Who to look for, Buk?” ask Asmira kindly.
“What is this true host Marcell Darwin?”
“Oh, correct. That's my husband,” replied Asmira smiling.
“Include Madam, I am Ida new helper at home Mistress.” Madam Ida stuck her hand out at Asmira.
Asmira did not welcome the hand of Ida Bu, she frowned as she said, “I am not looking for a new helper, Buk?”
Ms. Ida smiled, she gave him a piece of paper that Pratiwi had given her. Yesterday Darwin told Pratiwi to find a professional housekeeper to accompany Asmira to give birth.
Asmira shook Ida's hand, smiling after reading the letter.
“Come in, Buk.” invite Asmira.
Ms. Ida felt a little awkward looking at Asmira's friendly attitude towards her a maid. Asmira shows the guest room to Ida and tells her to put all her clothes in the closet.
“No, I'm just a helper.” Madam Ida gently refused.
“Loh, why? In my house there is no other room,” said Asmira.
“Nothing Buk, I sleep in the kitchen can also ..”
Not yet finished, Ida expressed her objection to Asmira's request, she immediately pulled the hand of Ida and invited her into the room.
Asmira accompanied Ida to pack her things in the room. They chatted and told each other about their lives. Asmira looks happy when she tells him all about her husband and son. A crisp laugh was always on his lips.
“Oya, Family Mother where?” ask Asmira.
Bu Ida's eyes look teary, his face is sad, Asmira stroked the old woman's shoulder he tried to calm her down.
Bu Ida's husband had died 5 years ago due to lung pain, Bu Ida fought hard to fight bone to cure her husband's disease. But unfortunately, 2 years of treatment, fate said another, his life was no longer helped.
“Bu, you are calm in nature there,” Asmira said grievingly.
“Yes Mistress,” Bu Ida tried to smile in between her tears.
Then they prepared lunch together. Ms. Ida was very humorous, Asmira was made to laugh giggling by him with her cute mannerisms. Ms. Ida cooks her favorite food according to Asmira's request.
Asmira glanced at the clock on her phone screen, she looked uneasy. Mother Ida saw the unease on her master's face.
“What's the Madam?” ask Ms. Ida.
“This is Mom, usually at this hour I have picked up Vano. But my husband forbade me to do that again starting today,” Asmira said of her anxiety.
“Then Madam is patient, yes. Maybe little master will be home soon.”
Just finished, Ida said, the sound of a car horn in front of the gate of the house. Asmira rushed forward. She smiled when she saw her husband and son coming home.
“Mas, I'm so worried.”
“Why baby?” ask Darwin and kiss Asmira.
“I think you forgot to pick up Vano, Mas.”
“Where might I forget baby, let's go in?” let Darwin embrace Asmira's shoulder.
Seeing that there was a new person in his house Evano was a little surprised, he looked deeply at Bu Ida without saying hello. Seeing Evano's behavior made Ida laugh.
“Halo Little sir, introduce me Bu Ida new helper at home Mr.” Madam Ida smiled kindly as she greeted Evano with a slight crouch.
Asmira approached Evano, he told his son to politely greet Ms. Ida's hand. Mother Ida smiled at Darwin, she nodded her head respectfully.
“No need to hesitate so Mom, hopefully Mom feels at home here, yes?” Darwin smiled kindly.
Then they had a threesome lunch with a very delicious meal that Bu Ida had prepared. While Ida Bu rejected their invitation on the grounds that he wanted to immediately perform the Dzuhur Prayer.
“Pi, we have been a long time, not having lunch together,” said Evano.
Darwin was silent to Evano's remarks, all this time he was too busy working, to just have lunch together he did not have time. Seeing Darwin's face, Asmira tried to give understanding to the child.
“Papi work dear, Papi's office with the house is far apart, pity Papi achievement must go home,” Asmira said.
“Then we just move to a house close to Papi's office,” chimpal Vano later.
Darwin laughed at his son's suggestion. While Asmira rounded her eyes to Darwin, Darwin's laughter disappeared.
“As if our Pi moves, cook a rich man like Papi his house is this small,” Evano said by directing his gaze throughout the room. Darwin laughed again at his son's chatter.
“Honey, quickly finish your food!” asmira closed both her lips.
Evano lowered his head, he glanced at Darwin with the tip of his eyes then both of them quietly returned to chuckling. Such was the behavior of the two who always teased Asmira.
Darwin has repeatedly invited Asmira to move house. But still he insisted to still inhabit a minimalist house that is not too big. Though the magnificent 3-story house Darwin had bought in advance, but Asmira was not willing to move.
Don't forget to like.
