Like Rubbish

Chapter 6.

This morning Willy was in Joseph's room. The man looked very worried about his master. He did not dare to sit on the side of his boss because he felt awkward. Just stand still while looking down.

"Sorry sir, I just came to see you. If I had known earlier then I wouldn't have been late. It's all because of my mistake. If only yesterday I'd taken you to the funeral, maybe now you're okay."

Joseph smiled a little. The man sitting leaning on his bed was staring at his assistant who was still down.

"We're not in the office. So relax a little bit. Don't call me mister ! just call my name, aren't our ages not much different ?!"

Willy's still flinching.

"Will, I've taken you as my own brother. So stop being formal and don't hesitate ! don't keep your head down, your neck will hurt !" that smile was still on his lips.

Willy looked up slowly but did not dare to look at Joseph. The good attitude of his boss gave birth to a huge amount of respect. Although in a relaxed atmosphere he always wanted to be polite to Joseph.

"You don't feel guilty, I just had a fever and now it's better. Yesterday I wanted to be alone."

"Okay sir !"

"Call Joseph only !"

Willy shook his head then looked, "No sir, I don't want to be rude. Please don't tell me to call you by name !"

This one guy is really very stiff and stubborn ! but he was very loyal to me !

"Willy, thank you so much for always being faithful to accompany me !"

Willy looked back respectfully, "Never say that, sir. I should be the one to thank you. I can get to this because of all your kindness. What I've done is not enough to repay you."

That's how Willy is, he would never want to if it is considered to have a lot of merit. For him, it was Joseph who had done too much good to him. His master was already like a helper god.

It all started a few years ago.

Flashback.

At that time Joseph was still in a white-gray uniform. After school, on the way to Company XZ, the car he was riding in suddenly stopped. A boy his age deliberately stopped the car. He ran to the back door, pounding on Joseph's side window.

"Please ! please, let me in your car, sir. If not, then those people will take my life."

Joseph had intended to open the door, but the driver forbade him. "Don't young master, it's possible that the boy had malicious intentions. We better let him ! I won't let you in danger."

But Joseph did not think like his driver. He felt sorry to see the boy panting and shedding tears. His face, full of bruises, pleaded for help. His hands were shaking knocking on the car glass. "Please sir, have mercy on me !"

"Sir, we have to help him. Look ahead, the closer people want to catch him !" without waiting for a response from the driver, Yusuf immediately opened the car door and let the boy in, sitting next to him.

"Thank you, sir !" she was crying sobbing. His body bent and both hands were taped.

"It's okay. We'll treat your wounds." A smile of sincerity appeared on Joseph's lips.

The boy is getting sobbing. Only this time there are rich people who want to be kind to him. Even trust him. If someone else might just let him get arrested by the citizens.

"Sir, we're going to the nearest Hospital now !" while talking his hand reached into his bag and took out a packet of bread, then thrust on the child sitting next to him.

"Thank you very much sir !" immediately snatch the bread without shame because it is not able to stand with his sick stomach, wants to be filled immediately.

"Ba..good !" the driver said that although he doubted Yusuf's decision. Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

***

In a luxurious room in the Hospital. Joseph stood beside the bed of the boy who was riding in his car earlier. The boy has finished treatment.

"It looks like you're in a lot of pain."

"Yes, sir, but now it's better. Thank you so much for helping me. You are so kind, I am just a stranger. To my death I will never forget your service." The boy wiped away the tears that were rushing down his cheeks.

"I'm not that good. I just do what my little heart says. Oh yeah, what's your name ? and what exactly happened until you chased them ?"

"My name is Willy sir. I actually did a heist at a bakery. I was forced to steal because I had not eaten for a few days. Unable to resist hunger any longer, I was determined to take a small packet of bread from the store. A worker caught me and shouted. Everyone who was there was after me."

"I was arrested and beaten by several people. I was lucky to escape from them. But the people who are chasing me are more and more. I kept running to the middle of the road trying to get into the car that was there. But no one helped. They yelled cursing even come after me."

"Until I finally stopped your car and forced my way in. The rest you know what happened."

Joseph looked closely at the crying child. He doesn't justify the theft Willy committed. But he also felt sorry. The fate of the boy is very unfortunate. Most people like to do what they want. They do not even care if they have to eliminate people's lives because they are more fun vigilante. Then, for whether there is a legal institution if the community still likes to do it ? Capturing criminals is a noble deed, but do not act at will. Let the rest of the authorities take care of it.

"Willy, where are your parents ? what area do you live in ?"

Willy bowed sadly, "I'm an orphan. I live under a bridge. Everyday I work looking for used goods. But because yesterday my money was always taken by the thugs, I did not have the money to buy food. Every day they come to take my sweat money. And all that time I was always hungry. Until finally I could not do it anymore and scolded. That's embarrassing thing. I'm really sorry sir. I promise I won't do that again." The boy was crying loudly.

Joseph could not bear to hear all the suffering that Willy was going through. He should be grateful to have a near-perfect life. And one way to thank them is by sharing. He was determined to improve the boy's life. He believes that his entire family will be supportive.

"I'm glad you've realized your mistake. From now on don't be sad anymore, I'll ask for help from my family to make your life more worthy."

"Thank you very much sir, but you don't have to do that. I've troublesome enough sir today."

"Don't call master, just call Joseph ! and don't refuse my help ! maybe this is a fortune for you."

"No sir, I would never do that. Let me call the master to you. It was an honor for me. And thank you again because you've been too kind to me."

Flashback.

And that's why Willy has so much respect for Joseph. He thought his boss was a helper angel. If without Joseph's kindness, he is now gone from this world. Or if he was still alive, only hardship would accompany him.

From the morning blind Andini was busy cleaning the house as usual. Starting from cleaning the entire room on the lower floor, proceed to the upper floor. Take all the dirty clothes to wash. And now he's behind the house, hanging the wet clothes that have been cleaned earlier.

"Bored every day like this. When can I relax, go for a walk and buy clothes ?"

That's a simple girl's little wish. Not want to go to a luxurious place or just wash your eyes to the mall. Going to the market and buying cheap clothes only makes him happy. The clothes in his butut closet have been torn a lot.

"Enak ya so Yasmin, he's so spoiled. What he asked for must have been given. She just went to the salon, spent the whole day with her friends. He never touched the housework."

Andini did not realize that the figure she was talking about was already standing behind her. "Andini, you dare to talk about me ?" he was already shaking his waist and staring dislikely at Dini.

Gawatttt !!! miss spoiled hearing my chirping !

Yasmin raised her eyebrows, "Of course, I am their favorite child. I was born of a good woman. Look, Dini, you don't have to expect to have a life like mine ! and...if you need clothes, then I'll give you my old clothes that are much nicer than the clothes you always wear." His hands were crossed on his chest, staring despicablely at the girl before him.

"No need, thank you. I don't usually wear clothes like that."

"Whatever, you're so tacky !" he just passed by after many words full of insults. The arrogant girl just came to interrupt her actually.

Yes.I am a tacky ! I'd rather look like a mother than have to wear revealing, mini-dresses.

Andini continued her work. Sometimes he was astonished, not finished thinking. Why are all the hosts always disrespectful and even happy to insult him ? dini tried to do whatever they wanted. In fact, even though he had to make a rapper working in this house, he did not mind.

If his father could be sober and bravely defend and protect him. For sure now he won't get this unpleasant treatment. Will it happen ? Andini is also an ordinary human. He is sometimes tired and wants to run away from all this. But, as he still cherished his father figure, he would continue to endure until he was sincerely acknowledged as a child.

Tonight Joseph is on his way to someone's residence. Willy was of course accompanying.

"Sir, why did you accept a dinner invitation from Mr. Daniel ? don't you know that this is just the man's wits in order to familiarize yourself with you ? all this time, Mr. Daniel has been after you. He wants to get a good position in the company."

"I want to see how far that works ? is he wearing the proper way or not ?"

Joseph looked out the window of the car, as if he was no stranger to this road. Even though it was night, he could still recognize.

"Will, are you sure Mr. Daniel lives here ?"

"Of course, sir. Why ? do you want us to turn around and cancel dinner with Mr. Daniel ?" Willy is still focusing on driving.

"No ! let's just continue !"

It might just be a coincidence that the man lived in this area. Not necessarily also he lived in the big house where the girl became a maid.

At the gate, Joseph's eyes were opened. Mr. Daniel is really the owner of this house. Is she the boss of that strange girl ?

Joseph's heart felt an unusual beat, firmer and somewhat irritated. His mind was on Andini. Now he was at the house where the girl worked. That means he will also meet her.

"Are you okay, sir ?"

"Hmmm. I'm it's okay. Let's get down !"

"Wait for you, let me open the door for you." Willy went down first and did what he said.

Willy likes to overdo it sometimes. I can do it myself !

Sometimes Joseph felt uncomfortable with the loyalty of his assistant. But because Willy always insisted, Joseph also received special treatment for him.

Joseph walked straight, followed by Willy. In front of the main door of the house, they were greeted warmly by Mr. Daniel and his wife and daughter.

"It's great that you're willing to fulfill my invitation. Mr. Joseph, this is my only wife and daughter."

Madam Daniel extended her hand while nodding. His daughter did the same.

"I am Rahma, the wife of Mr. Daniel. Nice to meet you, sir."

Yusuf nodded while slightly smiling.

"I'm Yasmin !" the girl was unable to blink her eyes at the beautiful figure standing in front of her.

This guy is so handsome ! much cooler than Alex. And definitely more tajir. Thank you dad, for meeting me with him !

"Sorry lady, please take care of your attitude towards master Yusuf !" an intimidating voice came out from the man next to the handsome one.

Yasmin immediately took off her handrails. "Sorry sir !"

Joseph rolled his eyes lazily. He didn't say anything. Mr. Daniel immediately invited his special guests to the dining room so that the atmosphere was not tense.

Willy pulled out a chair for his master. He sat down after Joseph had done it first. They sat next to each other and faced the host.

Yasmin took the initiative to take food for Joseph but was prevented by Willy. "No, miss, this is part of my job !" for some reason even though the words of Yusuf's assistant sounded polite, but even seemed scary to Yasmin. That sharp look made him squeak.

Possessive assistant ! she looks more like a wife who doesn't want her husband taken !

Joseph did not care about them. His gaze combed in all directions, looking for the figure of a silly and strange girl with her cute appearance. Why did he do something unimportant ?

"Please master, tasting ! hope you like !" the hostess said very courteously and sweetly.

Joseph slowly put a little food in his mouth. He almost choked when he heard the name of the strange girl called.

Madam Rahma somewhat shouted, "Andini ! please come here !"

The figure of the cat appeared shortly afterwards. "Yes Mom !" down he spoke.

"Please son, bring some fresh fruits here. You must have forgotten ?!" it's not usual for that woman to be nice to Andini. It was probably because he wanted to look good in front of his special guests.

"Good ma'am." The girl complies. He returned with the mistress' order in no time.

Joseph watched the girl from the moment she appeared. However, Andini did not know that Joseph was there. He focused on serving fruit at the dinner table.

"Ehemmmm. Can you get me some water, please ?" Joseph cleared his throat and thrust his glass at Andini who was standing beside him.

Deg ! Andini seemed to be familiar with that voice. He dared to look. His eyes widened to see the figure of a handsome man who had brought him home to this house.

Is he here ?

Joseph smiled at the girl who looked in shock. While others watched them in confusion.
