‘’But, wait! Why do I feel like this guy has something to do with Mr Deno?’’
‘’Kalo I forced him to be honest, I'm sure this guy still won't want to admit it. Ah, I better find out for myself.
The man was still looking at me with a look that was hard to spot. Without speaking again, I hurried to leave him and stepped into the house. Ah yes, I have to dry my clothes first. I rushed to the back and took the laundry that the sophisticated machine had done. Immediately I took it out, not forgetting to grab the hanging hanger.
This hot afternoon clock still stings, I hope my clothes are dry. I hurried to dry clothes next to the house. As soon as I heard a voice that was no longer sing to me, he seemed to be talking over the phone. Who is he talking to? I put back the clothes that I was about to sun and put up good hearing, mumpung my clothesline so close to the post. So I could eavesdrop on the man's conversation, knowing there was a secret he kept from Ms. Nelda.
‘’I've done everything you wanted. And now I need money.’’ Makes me gasp. Did I hear wrong? Ah, there's no way. My hearing is still good. I put my hearing back on.
‘’Pak, instead of you promised after I obey all, you will add the money. I need money to send to the village. If you think I will stop working according to our agreement.’’
I shut my mouth. What did all that man say? Did he talk to Deno? if he is, then he is conspiring with the traitor. This danger!
‘’My suspicions of these few days turned out to be true.’’
I intend to approach the man and force him to be frank on everything he has been hiding all along. But, wait! I'm sure he won't come clean.
‘’But I hate that two-faced man,’’ I growled in my heart and clenched my hands, wanting me to punch him in the face.
I take a slow breath and exhale, let it calm down a bit. That's what my master taught me, I always practiced. Sure enough, I felt calmer after practicing it.
‘’Sum, you calm down first. Don't be rash.’’ I tried to remind myself not to act rashly.
I better continue the work first, the clothes that are located in the bucket since I have not been drying. A few minutes later, I finished drying my clothes. Ah, yes, I must reassure my master. Immediately I stepped into the house, I put the bucket in the back and went straight to my master's room.
‘’Bu, Mom is fine right?’’ I said, knocking on Nelda's closed door, but there was no word from inside. Is he asleep? Or did something happen to my employer? Nah! Miss Nelda must be fine.
‘’Bu, lunch first yes. Auntie doesn't want Mom to do anything. Poor Naisya too if I get sick again. Dear mother is the same Naisya?’’
As the door creaked and opened, it seemed that my master was a sad, pale, and uninspired face.
As the door creaked and opened, it seemed that my master was a sad, pale, and uninspired face.
‘’I have no taste, Bi,’’ he said with a clean slit.
‘
‘’Bu, this hour is your lunch. Have a little meal?’’
‘’Mother why? Usually always tell Aunt. Aunt is sad to see Mom like gini. What the hell happened to Mom earlier after refreshing?’’ I looked at it with a trembling voice.
This time I can no longer hide my concerns with my employer. He just looked down with a sad face. Maybe the time is not right, hopefully next time Nelda can tell everything that happened to her. The time is not right yet.
I sighed heavily,’’Ya already if Mom is not ready to tell me now, it's okay. But, I have to have lunch yes.’’
‘’Iya, Bi,’’ is short.
Lunch since I prepared, long before my master came. He was still dumbstruck with a blank look. Makes my heart full. What the hell is it? Where did the man take Nelda's mom to make Nelda's mom this sad?
‘’This Bu, eat first yes.’’ I'm thrusting the plate. Because he was just pensive.
‘’Ah Yes, Thanks, Bi. Let me take it myself,’’ he said gently. I can't bear to see Miss Nelda like this. I better see Naisya first into her playroom.
‘’Aibi want to kitchen?’’ Instantly my steps stopped.
‘’No, Mom. Aunty wants to see Naisya aja.’’
‘’Astaghfirullah! I forgot about Naisya. Where is he, Bi? He's not fussy, is he?’’
‘’Abibi understands, Mom. Naisya had slept from earlier. I am calm yes,’’ sahutku with a smile. Making him breathe a sigh of relief and nod, I hurried back to continue my steps.
‘’What do I tell you about Bu Nelda ya?’’
But, surely my master would not believe what I heard earlier. Ms. Nelda was so innocent and always prejudiced others, let alone people she just knew.
I opened the door slowly. The little princess was asleep.
‘’Alhamdulillah. Aunty thought you were awake, Dik,’’ lirihku who breathed a sigh of relief. Instantly a sophisticated object in my pocket scattered my daydream. Rushing I nodded at Naisya's bed.
Who yeah? This hour that calls me? What is Reno? I rushed to check the sophisticated thing. Ah, that's right! On the screen is the contact name ‘’Mas Reno’’
‘’How is this? Am I lifting? But, I'm going to promise you Miss Nelda.’’ I let out a huffed breath, I finally decided to let the advanced thing lie on the nightstand. It was still ringing, fortunately the ringing was not too loud.
‘’Ma’af yes, Mas Reno.’’
But, still the sophisticated thing was ringing back. This is the umpteenth time it rings, I still don't want to pick up the phone from the guy. I don't want my employer to misunderstand me again. Yes, yesterday he was upset with me, because I admitted that I asked for help from the man named Reno during Ms. Nelda's hospitalization. It made her very upset, so upset she kept me quiet and was cold to me.
As long as I'm here, I've never had the attitude of Miss Nelda like that to me, just this time. Yeah, it's all because of what I did. But I don't know who else to ask. It started when I met the man when I got home from the hospital. Uh, he offered to take me home.
At first I hesitated and wanted to refuse, but he said that he was not a bad person and he confessed that he was the one who ran my employer to the hospital during the accident. Make my body disappear for a while and I no longer refuse to be escorted by the man named Reno. Eh, arriving at the house he even invited Naisya to a story and it seems that the man likes a child.
Naisya who used to not like playing with foreign men, now feels at home playing with him and Naisya always asks the man if he does not come home, he whines at me so that the mas can play with him at home. I had to obey his will, because he had no friends to play with. I am so busy with homework. Plus I'm afraid she's fussy.
And one more thing, I still remember when Naisya had a fever. The heat was so high, it made me even more anxious and I had no idea what else to do, other than to ask the man for help. Without feeling heavy he immediately rushed to buy syrup to the pharmacy for Naisya, uh after the heavy rain.
‘’Mas Reno is a good man, I'm sure. But Miss Nelda doesn't like him. Yes, I understand the status now.’’
As soon as my advanced thing rings back, this time it sounds different. What I'm sure is a message from Reno.
‘’Assalamua’alaikum, Bi. Why didn't Auntie pick up my phone? I want news of Nelda and Naisya. Are they okay? If possible, I will play there later ya.’’
Seriate.
