Chapter 25

"Sister, Arumi wants to talk for a minute."

Max nodded, he complied as Arumi pulled her hand away from the bed where Marni lay.

"Sister Arumi is grateful for Brother's generosity to help Grandma's surgery costs, Arumi promises to return it as soon as possible. Arumi can tell the Madam to immediately cut Arumi's salary, Kak," said the girl who had never been.

Max frowned, slightly looking down to look at Arumi's puffy face.

"Did I ask you to return it Rum? And what are you asking for a pay cut? The money I used for the surgery was my own money not mine!" Answer Max in a firm tone.

"Sorry," said Arumi, he was afraid Max was angry because he had misunderstood.

Arumi thought that the children of rich people only receive money from their parents, without having to do anything. Actually no, not everything is like that.

Dylan required his children to have their own business, their allowance was restricted. Instead of being given a credit card without limits that they can spend a moment of their own speech. Dylan gave capital and for them to do business, whatever it was with Dylan's records will monitor the progress of their business.

Max has a small stake in several companies, although not many but he can get a pretty decent profit every month. Michi has an online shop and already has three employees, so she just needs to monitor it. And baper Matthew, opened a cafe in Taiwan. The result of the effort for their own needs, while the problem of college is entirely on the responsibility of Dylan, because it is his responsibility as a parent.

"But Kak still Arum feels bad, Kak Max has helped Arumi too much. Arumi was confused as to how to reply." Arumi's eyes glazed over, looking at Max gratefully.

"It should have been as humans to help each other, now we think about how it is going forward. You don't have to worry, I won't accept it if you give me back what I gave you."

Max patted Arumi softly on the head, the little girl smiled stiffly.

'I'll take it, brother, I promise. '

"I have to go home for a while, it's okay for me to stay a while. Maybe it can come here a little afternoon," Max said while looking at the watch that was coiled around his wrist.

"It's okay, brother, sorry to have taken care of."

"I told you you never took care of me, I will also ask permission to Mami so don't worry, you can take care of grandma here quietly."

"Take this for your hold." Max takes some money from his wallet, and clutches it in Arumi's hand.

"But Brother,-"

"Rum, don't refuse you need this now. Don't ever feel my anxiety, ok."

Arumi nodded, Max was right. He needs money now. After saying goodbye, Max leaves Arumi and Bayu.

"Mbak, who is he? Why is it so good to pay for Grandma's surgery, move to VIP class again? " Tanya Bayu seriously.

Arumi and Bayu sat side by side on the sofa in the nursery. Shortly after Max leaves, several nurses come and move Nek Mar from the classroom III to the VIP. Arumi had refused, but the nurse explained that this was Max's request and had been paid in advance. Arumi can only resignedly accept all the things that Max arranged for him.

"Hus, ngawur you Bay. Where there is," said Arumi.

"He's just a good person who happens to find a Ma'am who needs help, maybe God does meet us with him, as an intermediary to help us," Arumi said, staring straight out the window.

Bayu looked at his sister who was smiling thinly, while looking at the grove of trees that moved because of the caress of the wind.

"Is Wito Mbak's house really on the job, meaning only in order to clean his house or something else?"

Actually Bayu was quite curious about the reason his brother ran away from Wito's house, if only the matter of Arumi's work would not get blurred like that. She's the hardworking type of woman, who doesn't complain.

Hearing Bayu's question, Arumi's face immediately changed pias, he slightly pulled his face from the hand that supported the chin. She could not tell what happened to her in the house, Bayu would get angry and could do desperate.

"Mbak does not feel at home Bay, not only his home but Mbak must also be a freelance worker who cleans the neighboring house he came to without wages. Wito took the money for himself. Sorry mbak ya Bay, have not had time to give you news," Arumi tried to string a good answer maybe so that Bayu does not suspect.

Arumi did not lie, he was told to clean the house of a friend of Wito, and of course without pay. But Arumi is still silent about the abuse he experienced, let this disgrace he closed tightly.

"Did Mom ever call you Bay?" Arumi asked to switch their conversation.

He could see Bayu starting to get emotional, hearing Arumi was told to work rode by his stepfather.

"Actually the time Ma'am to Surabaya, I had a chat mother, asked for remittances to pay the same school to buy rice. Then yesterday mom said the money was sent to Wito, I thought I was coming to love mom's money but she was making trouble in our house!" Anger Bayu, considering the events of this morning.

"Patience, now we focus on grandma first. Have you eaten Bay yet?"

Bayu shook his head slowly. "No food at home, this morning I was the same grandma ate the last stock of instant noodles Ma'am. I was waiting for the chicken basket to pass by, the plan was to sell chicken to buy rice," said Bayu.

Arumi's heart seemed to be packed to hear Bayu's words. Long ago when their father was still around, all the sufficiency though simple. Marni's grandmother was never lacking because the injection always sent money and groceries for her. But now, there is nothing to sustain the life of the elderly, Bayu and Arumi are also still in school, some chicken village d Marni make a lifeline if no more money is held. Abstinence for Marni to ask others, even though she is lacking.

"You buy to eat gih, let Mbak wait for Grandma," said Arumi while thrusting the one to his sister.

"Where do you get money from?!"

Bayu's eyes widened to see the red money sheet that Arumi thrust.

"Sister Max is loving," replied Arumi, Bayu fused his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Sister who just paid for Grandma's surgery?"

Arumi nodded. "Actually Ma'am works at Max's, so Baby Sitter. I want to work Bay."

"Work! How's school going?"
