Jea just nodded her head.
"Oh yeah Jelly, right?" Andrew made a sound as he glanced at Jea at a glance and refocused on driving.
"I'm Jealita Mister, not Jelly," Jea's protest slightly blushed. This is the first time anyone has mentioned Jelly. It's weird, but Jea seems to like it.
"Hmmm. Yes," murmured Andrew softly.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet again. Many questions were raised in Jea's head. From whose name is this master? What does he mean by buying it.
But that intention was crushed. Given his status that was only purchased from the auction. Whatever he says, maybe this is his lifeline.
17.35 Local time.
Andrew took Jea to a private mansion. The mansion is inhabited by Andrew, Marlina's stepmother. The guards and some servants.
Jea who got down from the car stared at the astonishment of such a magnificent building in front of him. It was only a new age this time that he entered a place like this.
"Road!" tell Andrew to wake Jea from his admiration.
Jea slowly followed Andrew. His eyes continued to stare to and fro this building in front of him. "The King's Palace," Jea murmured involuntarily.
Andrew looked back. He knitted his 2 eyebrows. Confused by Jea's increasingly unclear behavior according to him.
All the guards bowed as Andrew flashed in front of him. Jea is still unconscious. He kept following Andrew and his eyes focused on the shape of the building.
"Like gold yes" whispered Jea again unknowingly. The words came spontaneously from his heart, brain, and eyes.
"Head maid!" call Andrew and stop his steps.
DEBUGGING
"Aww, I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it."
Jea held onto her forehead which had already hit Andrew's shoulder. He wasn't focused. That would be so, because it did not see Andrew who stopped suddenly. Finally Jea hit him.
Andrew turned his body. Now the 2nd is facing each other. Jea just looked down. Ready to listen to all the words that will come from the mouth of his master.
10 Seconds long. No one said a word. Andrew just stared at Jea's face coldly but intensely. Although not entirely clear in Andrew's eyes because of Jea's position that just lowered his head. But it's capable of pulling something inside Andrew. This woman is very similar to that woman.
"Yes, sir."
Until the voice of the butler broke the silence between them.
"This is a new servant, teach him how to take care of this house."
"Good sir."
"To this day, have him prepare the dinner menu" the servant orders Andrew.
Then, Andrew sauntered upstairs to his room.
Jea who heard it all ended up prancing in excitement. Didn't he hear wrong? That master has given him a job, right? Jea was thirsty for work and now she was employed in a palace - according to Jea - even though only a servant was amazing. Incredibly unexpected.
Jea kept staring at Andrew who was climbing up the stairs.
'Thank you, sir, you are very kind. I'm not sure I can repay your kindness, ' Inner Jea unconsciously threw her widest smile.
And it just so happened that Andrew saw it. Instantly, Jea immediately lowered his head, because accidentally, the 2 eyeballs met the gray eyes of the Italian blaster.
"Please follow me" the butler ordered.
Jea followed him. The butler showed me a small room fit for one person. Sure enough, that's where Jea lives now.
"This is your room, take a break. Because after this, you have to cook for Master."
"Good Bi." Jea called her aunty because it was estimated that the middle-aged woman was in her 50s.
"I'm Murti" said the servant extending a hand.
"Jealita, can be called Jea or Lita. It's up to Auntie."Jea returned the hand.
The 2 are now shaking hands with each other.
"Oya Jea, this is your servant's outfit here. And there are some old clothes. Maybe you can wear it while you're resting."
"Thank you Bi." Jea sparkling. The world is not cruel to his thinking. Here he can still meet good people. A good person according to Jea is definitely not someone else.
Bi Murti just smiled. "Twenty minutes to work. Use your time as best you can."
Bi Murti passed. Jea was really happy. Unthinkable before, he thought, he would enter the lion's den. But it turned out wrong. It was like setting foot in an ice garden. Chilly. All the heat that was in his heart, cooled for a moment.
"Sir, you're so nice" Jea said, laying her body on the bed. Hand recumbent. Eyes closed.
10 Minutes later, Jea closed her eyes. "I have to be excited. Don't let you be disappointed in me."Jea woke up and encouraged her life.
***
In the kitchen some of the cooking that Jea cooked was done. From fried chicken, fried sambel, fried noodles, stir-fried kale. Jea had no idea what her master's favorite food was. What is clear today is that Jea cooks it with a delicious taste according to Jea.
Bi Murti looks busy making chicken soup.
"Bi, my cooking is done," whispered Jea as slowly as she might be afraid of disturbing.
"Wait for this soup to cook Jea, this is a request from the big lady," bi Murti reply still concentration.
All the food was finally served at the table. Jea looked at the results of her cooking and smiled to herself. 'May you like, ' Inner Jea.
Madame Marlina walked towards the dining table. Jea bowed her body respectfully. Marlina who realized that this servant was not the usual servant finally opened her voice.
"You're the new waiter?"
"What's your name?" marlina asked to get to know the servant further. Thank you for being familiar. Because she's basically just a stepmother who's not considered. Contrary to the attitude of stepmother Jea who actually seemed so evil
"Jealita Madam, you can call me Jea or Lita."
"You are beautiful Jea, it seems that with your posture like this, you should fit into a model." proposed Marlina with her ignorant smile, but really.
"Ehmm."
Deheman's voice stopped his 2nd conversation.
"Good night, Andrew, my son" said Marlina, welcoming her super-cold stepdaughter.
Andrew simply replied with a slight smile that seemed to be very forced.
Marlina is used to dealing with the cuey nature of the stepson. At least he was very grateful to have been allowed to stay in this mansion. Maybe if the other stepmother would be kicked after the death of her father. But Andrew didn't throw him out. He still told his mother to stay even with a cold nature.
Jea and Marlina were different. According to Jea, the nature that Andrew had just shown was very disrespectful.
Jesus, he just realized that his master's name is Andrew. Even Jea knew her employer's name from Marlina's mouth. Not from Andrew's own mouth.
'Ah, too wish you were Jea, ' thought Jea.
Jea, knowing that her employer was ready to eat, was finally allowed to resign.
"Good fun, Mrs." Bend over to Andrew and then to Marlina. As Jea began to step away. The baritone's voice stopped his footsteps.
"Wait."
"Sir, how can I help you?" jea asked as she approached Andrew.
"Take it!" tell Andrew to look at a plate.
Jea understood what he meant. Because every day his stepmother always asks to be served, take this even without pointing with her index finger.
Jea got some rice. For not knowing how many servings his master had. Forced Jea to take rice and side dishes according to his own portion.
"Please sir." Jea offered the rice full side dish right in front of Andrew.
Andrew took his spoon. Feed the rice and stir the kale into his mouth. Jea is still not up. Expect a compliment to come out of his master's mouth. Imagining it made Jea like he was going to fly into space.
"Uhukkkk."
Andrew spewed out rice that he hadn't even had time to swallow.
"You want to poison me, huh?" snapped Andrew wrathfully.
"Sorry sir, I don't understand." Jea gelagapan's. Just now he had imagined he would fly into space. The fact is that he fell to the bottom of the abyss. Not a compliment but a snapshot.
Andrew picked up a mouthful of rice and stir-fried kale and handed the spoon to Jea.
"Try to feel this" said Andrew coldly. His face still looked so angry.
With hesitation Jea grabbed the spoon and fed it to her mouth. Jea started chewing. Nothing is less. Delicious cooking. Where does it lie? Jea was still chewing while continuously trying to find her fault.
"How does it feel?" andrew asked, still cold.
Jea glanced at the scared Marlina. But what was glimpsed was just a smile. Code for Jea to answer honestly.
"Emmm, there's nothing wrong. The sweet salty is just right. A little spicy," said Jea judging his cooking.
BRaaakkkk
Andrew hit the table. Jea jumped in shock. Even Marlina was more shocked to the point of choking. But Andrew doesn't care about Marlina. The problem is with Jea.
"A little SPICY do you think?"
"Don't you know I'm anti with chili hah?" Andrew wrathful.
Jea finally realized where her mistake lay. The fool Jea who did not ask Murti first. Jea was born in Java. He likes the spicy taste. He thought Andrew liked it too. Jea finally nodded. Be prepared if he should be punished.
"Head maid!" andrew shouted resolutely but still looked cold.
Murti who heard his name was called immediately ran away. Bi Murti was going to poop. Forced to be postponed because of his master.
"Yes Sir," Bi Murti bowed.
"Where are you from? He almost poisoned me. Where are you going?" she was angry and pointed at Jea's face.
"Sorry Sir." Bi Murti trembling. Holding back his pee and holding back his master's snapping. Due to the age factor, he even forgot that Jea was the new servant.
"After this teach him about the dishes that I can eat, and that I can't eat."
"Good sir."
"And you're Jelly." He pointed at Jea's face again. And Jea straightened her head. Their eyes clashed.
Deg.
Suddenly, Jea's heart went down, and she quickly looked down. Jea's confused. Just this time he was really nervous when he had an eye-to-eye with his master. Andrew lowered his finger.
"You're re-cooking your cooking. Remember without chili, or lombok and the like" Andrew continued.
"Ba..baik sir, "reply Jea stammered because she was still in a nervous position.
"When you're ready, take you to the room."
"And beware if it's still spicy! I'll punish you!"
Andrew left the dining room, which was now a gripping atmosphere. Bi Murti who could not stand being directly flushed backwards. Jea said goodbye to Miss Marlina because the task is not finished.
Marlina was silent in response to Andrew's attitude. Ever since he lost the wife he just married that week. Andrew's nature turned cold and angry. Just be patient Marlina can do, as much as possible.
