Love Made In Hong Kong

Broker.28. Only healing is necessary.

Povs. Aini

It was a month after the horrible incident. And that means that I haven't done my job for a month as I should be an assistant to Saeful and Bu Tri's family. There is nothing more I hope for now than my recovery. That's all it is. Because I don't want to be in this state any longer.

After several days of earthquakes that hit Hong Kong land, my agent came to see me with several people from the Indonesian embassy to Hong Kong. They got data on all Indonesian citizens affected by the earthquake. Their arrival means a lot to me. I feel so happy. They said that they would visit every Indonesian who was recorded as having been hit by the Hong Kong earthquake this time.

My family in Indonesia has also notified me. I couldn't cry at that time. When I told the incident I experienced with my mother, my mother immediately cried so much with my father. I called them after I was discharged from the hospital. I apologized to my mom and dad for not telling them right away. I told them I didn't want them to worry too much about me. My father and mother asked me to always tell them how I was doing. There was nothing I expected of them but prayer for my recovery.

While at this time I can slowly get up from a lying position then sit down. To stand I can't yet. The bones in my waist area are still sore. I don't want to always bother my employer's family. Therefore I try to do all my own needs in stone with a wheelchair that has been provided for me from the beginning.

Some of my fellow workers like me have also come to see me several times. They found out about this apartment I work in from Melly and Rara. Because they are the closest to my place, they are also the two who often meet me.

"Get well soon Ai." said Melly to me.

"Yes, I'm sure you've all taken the time to visit me here." I told them all at the time.

"Yes Aini, this is all it should be because we are fellow brothers who work here must help each other who are held by us in need. And support each other and encourage each other between one of us and another." Bright Arin. The Indian workforce is also said to have worked in Hong Kong for twelve years. And his workplace is also not far from the apartment I work in.

Arin told me a lot about his work experience in Hong Kong. He was ceaselessly encouraging me. I am so grateful to be surrounded by people who love me.

Already several times inadvertently I heard debate after debate between Mr. Saeful and Ms. Tri. It seems they are in big trouble.

But I don't know if I'm also not clear on what they're arguing about, because I don't want to be too concerned about their household problems either. What is clear every time after the debate I always find your eyes Tri moist due to too much crying.

And I noticed that Mr. Saeful always left in a hurry and kept quiet without a word he said, then slammed the door and left and then the next night he was going home.

While Nasya I see acting ordinary, or maybe he does not know what problems are being faced by both parents. And about their son until now it seems they have never mentioned what his name is, and how he is.

Only my grandmother had ever cried in her room once after Saeful left by slamming the door rough. This is probably because she is a woman who has the title of mother, so she feels very well how she feels and the circumstances that may be experienced by her daughter, Ms. Tri herself.

I tried slowly little by little to stand up from the wheelchair. I don't want to be in this state too long. I need to get well soon so I can get back to doing my job.

"Here..hey.what are you doing?". Suddenly Nasha came up to me, while I was practicing standing up from a wheelchair. He greeted me with a worried tone.

"Ehhemm.no Nas, I'm just practicing standing up." I answered with a smile to convince her that what I was doing was not wrong.

"Yes, Nasya, I know, but I have to be able to practice on my own because I know which parts still hurt, and which parts no longer hurt."

"Ah. It's Ai, I don't want to debate. What's clear is that if anything else happens to you, mom and dad will be very upset."

"Yes, yes, I understand. You don't have to worry about that, Nasya." I said to Nasya with a teasing tone.

I'm glad Nasya cares so much about me. Even though I'm just an ordinary housekeeper. But he treats me like his best friend even like his brother. May this friendship and brotherhood continue until later or forever. That's the hope I have in my heart.

As for my relationship with my lover Farenzy, our relationship is fine even very good. He always took the time to just call with me even though we could not meet in person. I don't know when this relationship will be kept secret from my employer. Sometimes I wish they would know before I finish my contract with them. Because I want to know what their next response would be like if that happened. But I'm also afraid what if it happened the other way around like Farenzy said. I'm gonna lose faith in them or even lose my job. About the job maybe I will get a new employer in a new place too, but no one can guarantee that if I change employers, then my new employer will be more affectionate to me. Come on, I'll just follow the line.

"Hello honey? What are you doing?" Ask Farenzy when we vidio call.

"Yes hello, this is me just chatting with Nasya." My answer.

"Didn't Nasya go to college?"

"Not saying today he's off for college."

"Dear, what about Grandma?"

"Grandmother is also fine, even now she is getting healthier and fitter."

"You yourself how is your health? Can you stand up?"

"That's what I'm focusing on right now. I can't stand up yet, because my spine still hurts."

"Yes have not been too forced later even difficult to heal. Baby, I want to go back to work again. Bye. darling.."

"Well.."

Then we both closed the phone line.
