From Comfortable to Love

Chapter 20 Packages!

"Tania, why do you still choose to stay here?" Rakha asked suddenly this morning while enjoying her breakfast.

Tania looked at him. "Responsibility, sir." Answer Tania.

Rakha looked bearded.

"At any rate, I've made a promise to you." Reciprocity.

Rakha smiled cynically at Tania's words, I don't know what the smile meant.

"Until now I've never believed anything to do with promises." Rakha said with disdain.

"Master can't trust anyone else about promises, but not me. Once that promise is said, I must keep it and there is a responsibility that I bear, sir."

Rakha. He noticed Tania who was pouring warm tea into a glass.

"You're different from my previous workers."

Tania threw away the face hearing Mr. Rakha's words. He felt he would be compared.

"What's different?"

"Everything."

They are silent to each other.

Tania was still standing not far from Rakha. Because every time he ate breakfast, the man always asked to accompany him, even though he and Rakha did not sit simultaneously at the dinner table. Tania simply stood up answering all the questions from Rakha or just being a breakfast Rakha watcher.

"Most of the workers will run away from this house when I'm in a bad time. They thought I was crazy, and so scared as if I was going to prey on them right then and there. They left without a trace, and never returned."

"We only need to be transformed into water when someone incarnates into fire, sir."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm more afraid when you're drunk, than when you're angry."

Rakha looked a little smile at Tania's reply.

"Why?"

"When I was drunk I saw a different Master. And I'm..."

"What?"

They returned silent.

This was the first time that Tania and Rakha had chatted for quite a long time. Moreover, Tania who like to express her dislike for Rakha's attitude.

There was no more chatter until Rakha finished breakfast, then the man passed.

"Did he not like my words? But let it be, I'm just conveying my heart." Tania.

*****

There was a sound of people shouting from outside the gate. Tania rushed to the man and opened the gate.

A man wearing a red-gray uniform, bearing the words JN* on his left chest. He was holding a large box wrapped in black plastic.

"Sorry, ma'am, want an anther package." Said the man friendly.

"Package?" Tania confused. This was the first time he had received something like this.

"Is this the home of Mr Rakha Adimas Satya?"

Tania just glared at the man in front of her. He wondered why this man asked his master.

"Yes, right." Said Rakha who was already behind Tania. The girl was shocked and did not know what to do.

"Sorry, Sir. Can I sign here?" Said the man again, then Rakha immediately gave his signature.

"Thank you, sir." The man smiled kindly, then passed. He's in a hurry. It might not be strong to see Mr. Rakha's extremely cold face.

"For you!" Rakha immediately thrust the big box at Tania. The girl wavers because of Rakha who gives suddenly.

'Ikhlas not, anyway?' Inner Tania.

Not much to say Rakha went straight into the house. Tania immediately closed the gate, then she brought the box into the house, impatient to open and see the contents inside.

"Master, thank you." Said Tania, but did not get the slightest response from Rakha who had gone upstairs.

Tania was already in the room, preparing with the scissors she would use to open the box.

'What's it say? I'm very curious.'
