Love Me Tender's

Dira Longs

The entire family left the building after the wedding was over. Unlike the wedding in general that invites many guests, Theo and Indira wedding is only attended by the nuclear family of both parties.

After a few minutes of travel, Theo's family arrived at their residence.

"That's tired!" tamara sighed as she dropped her body weight on the sofa.

"Mommy goes upstairs first" said the Queen, then she steps up the stairs. The husband who was right behind her followed.

"Please take care of your best friend, the deck", pinta Theo when he sees Tamara sitting on the sofa.

"Why should Ara, brother?" Tamara was upset that she was given a task she did not want to do.

Not long after Indira also entered the house. With a slight hesitation he continued his steps into the mansion that he had never seen before.

"Currently, the deceiver is coming." Tamara got up from the sofa and walked over to Indira. "Come, come with me" Tamara said with a glance at Indira, then continued her steps leading Indira into a room.

"This is your room!" tamara pointed with her eyes a narrow room without air conditioning.

"Thank you, Ara", said Indira while smiling at Tamara.

"Open your mask. Don't pretend anymore" Tamara said with a cynical look. Then he stepped out of his legs leaving Indira a dirim

A woman suddenly came to Indira when Indira was just about to enter her new room. "After cleaning clothes, go straight to the dining room" said the person without introducing himself. Then he left Indira who was still standing with a confused face.

 

Indira walked over to Theo's family who had gathered at the dinner table.

"Why is it so long?" ask the woman who asked him to come to the dining room.

"I'm sorry, there was a lot to be cleaned" he said nervously as he pulled one of the chairs and stuck his butt in the chair.

"Why sit there?" ask the woman who is none other than the maid at Theo's house.

Indira scrunched her forehead. "Is this chair the owner?" ask him innocently.

The maid approached Indira. "Come, help prepare all the food!" he said while pulling Indira's hand.

Indira looked at all the members of Theo family in turn, as if asking for a defense on them.

"What about his new maid, bi? Is it slow?" asked the Queen when she saw Indira just silently in her position to stand up without doing anything. Indira gasped at the words of the in-laws. He tiptoed while holding a chair as his body nearly sagged.

"Mother just relax. In my hands, she will definitely change" said the aunt, who has worked with the King's family for a long time.

Indira reached out her hand to grab a pot of drinking water, then poured water into an empty glass on the table. May there be a good day for me, her heart.

After all the food on the table, the whole family immediately enjoyed the meal. But none of them asked Indira to sit down and eat with them.

Indira swallowed her saliva as Theo's family ate so voraciously.

"Do you want to?" tamara asked as she was about to swallow the last mouthful of the spoon into her mouth. "The right work! Don't be a fraud!" tamara Ledek.

Indira bowed lethargic when she heard Tamara's speech. He does not know what in the future he will be able to cultivate such a life.

Theo's family left the dining room alternately as they were already feeling full.

"You wash all the dishes, the aunt eats first" said the aunt ordered Indira while leaving her with a pile of dirty dishes.

Indira's keroncong stomach that had sounded, made him feel pain in the upper part of his heart. By holding back the pain, Indira tried to clean all the dirty dishes. "Finally done" he muttered, then he stepped into the dining room.

"Where are you going?" asked the aunt while carrying a dish in her hand.

"You eat, bi", said Indira lirih.

"It's eating in the kitchen" the aunt said, giving her a plate she was holding.

Indira glared when she saw half a small piece of meat left on the plate she was holding. "Is the side dish just this, bi?" ask him politely.

"Eat it! Don't want much." The aunt stepped her feet away from Indira who was still in her position standing while holding a plate in her hand.

Indira gasped when she realized she was starting to act greedy. "True auntie, I just have to eat" she muttered, then she stepped into the kitchen and gratefully ate the leftovers.

 

The sunset sunshade shyly hides in the eastern horizon. Dark twilight for Indira, even for the following days.

Geck. Geck.

The sound of knocking on the door interfered with Indira's break which was just about to close her eyes.

"Who?" asked Indira when she opened the door.

"Why are you in the room? Ask the aunt with an emotional face. He also asked Indira to immediately clean up. Indira obeyed the aunt and immediately stepped out of the room.

While doing work like the maid, Indira accidentally met Theo who was down the stairs. Indira greeted him politely. "Sir, can anyone help?" But Theo ignored him. He passed by Indira without looking.

Indira could only bitterly swallow all the treatment from the relief that did not want her as a daughter-in-law in that family. She continued her work as a maid and was as polite as ever.

"Is your wish as a great mistress unfulfilled?" ledek Tamara will pass Indira.

"Ara.", call Indira softly, but Tamara does not care about it anymore. His anger had made him break the rope of their friendship.

Dusk has left its contest replaced with a lonely night, which accompanies the heart that longs for someone.

Indira stared at the dark sky without stars, which seemed to depict the current state of her heart. Without a sign of tears, his eyes fell freely soaking his smooth cheeks.

"Pa, ma, where are you?" ask Indira while looking for a star that never appears. Indira began to press her chest that felt tight because it was holding back the crying that did not want to stop.

"Dira miss pa, ma. Don't hide anymore. Dira is not strong on its own. Please bring Dira." Indira vented her feelings while wiping away the tears that were endlessly flowing.

The murmur of the night wind made Indira start to feel cold. He got up from his seat and walked into the house. But when he opened the door, Indira panicked. His hand did not open it.

"Bie... Aunties... Please open the door!" indira shouted with anxiety. But there was no sign the door would be opened.

"Auntie.", call Indira relentlessly accompanied by strong pounding of Indira's hand, but the result remains the same.

Indira looked around, looking for the gatekeeper, but could not be reached by the net. He immediately stepped foot towards the gate guard post which was 1 km from the terrace of the house.
