Love the Illiterate Girl

Selecting to run or return

"Have you done the big lady's orders?" Madam Ningsih who was again ironing clothes asked me who had just come down from the top floor.

"Already mbak, just move items that can not be used anymore to the warehouse, and deliver the boxes containing unused clothes to be donated to the orphanage."

Let Mr. Parman deliver his things to the orphanage.

That was the big lady's order to me. The clothes in the closet are still good and worth wearing. Probably the second-hand clothes of my employer's second son.

Their hearts are very good, always routinely make donations to orphanages or places that need help and such. Yes, the big lady often also became a donor in some orphanages in this city.

Mr. Parman is my employer's second confidant. He's the one who's going to deliver all these used items to the orphanage.

In addition to being a private driver, Mr. Parman also takes care of all the affairs of the workers in this luxury house. All the needs and complaints of employees are always through Mr. Parman. And he is happy to help solve our problems.

"I think your job is done. You can do your job well, right?" Mbak Ningsih is also a great mistress trust in undergoing household duties here. Make sure that every job done is completely cleaned.

The look on Ningsih's face was investigating something with her question to me.

" I have to finish my job first huh mbak." I rushed back upstairs, intending to finish all my unfinished work.

Mbak Ningsih just nodded his head and continued his work. I was thinking like I should tell my sister Ningsih about this little book, who knows if she can give me a way out.

But I have to finish my job right away, then I will ask Mbak Ningsih. Exactly one hour later my work was done.I then went into the room and cleaned myself, and then continued my work to the kitchen to help mbak Ningsih cook dinner for both of our employers.

Only me and Mbak Ningsih trusted my two employers to take care of the kitchen and make food for them. While other workers are more devoted to cleaning this luxury house outside and inside.

Both of our employers never set the menu what they should eat.Whatever we serve for sure they will spend it. From the stories of our two employers he said they had lived hard before when they were young.

Even to eat sometimes they have to spend a plate of rice together, without side dishes. Only rice mixed with salt. They used to live in the village. Managing a dairy farm. As time went on, their farms grew rapidly.

Once, they were offered to work with his best friend's company in the city. They left the cattle ranch in the village. When they chose to settle in the city. Develop business by working with his best friend.

And now, their company is growing rapidly. There have been many subsidiary companies that they have built, scattered throughout the big cities in this country. The farm is currently left empty, unkempt. I've heard they intend to go back to the farm. And restart their farm.

But the farm is a long way from the city. Which makes them with his current busyness, have not been able to return to the farm. Their story is always told to us the workers in this house, with the intention that we can still be grateful for every blessing of God every day. We were busy chatting until the cooking for our employer was ready to be served.

"Mala, I'm going to go to the room first well, just after the ladies and gentlemen have finished dinner please do it until you're done, my head is a little dizzy I want to rest first."

"Yes mbak, just relax I'll take care of everything, take a break first."

At 19:00, both of my employers finished eating, and went to the upper room. I finished the rest of my work and went back to the bedroom.

It turned out that in the room Mbak Ningsih had not slept.

"Mr Ning,.."

"Hmmm, what's Mala doing?"

"His head still hurts?"

"Udah was kinda better Mala, abis took the medicine earlier."

While taking out a small book from my pocket that I found earlier, I thrust it at Mbak Ningsih.

"So I found this, when I was cleaning up in the upstairs room, I didn't know what this book was like.

You know I can't read, I think it's just like a savings book has mbak, so I want to ask mbak Ning, this book is important or not."

"If it's not important, then I can throw it away with other unused items, but if it's important, let me give it back to the big lady, mbak."

Sister Ning who had been observing the little book, I did not expect her to widen her eyes..

"What's wrong, what's wrong with the book?" I'm getting curious to ask Ms. Ning to explain what the book is.

"Mala, this is like a savings book belonging to the young mistress, written here this book on behalf of Anggraini Adiwijaya, the name of the daughter-in-law of the old lady." With sparkling eyes, Ningsih explained it.

"There is also his ATM card and his pin is written on his book, and this savings amounted to three billion, you can get rich suddenly Mala.

"If I were you tonight I would go and cash these savings. Get away from this house. And live happily with this much money, which certainly will not run out of seven derivatives."

"Most masters and mistresses won't know about this bankbook." He continued enthusiastically hoping I would do something that was not commendable in my opinion.

"Why do you and your mistress do not know, if there is this much money in the ATM belonging to the young lady first yes mbak?"

"Mala, obviously the big lady asked you to throw away all the unused items from the room. I'm sure the ladies and gentlemen won't know the whereabouts of those things."

I just kept silent not to respond to Ningsih's words.

"How about we spend the money together, and then we split the two. After that we will go as far as possible, even until no one knows us."

"I'll help you, Mala."

But to me, Ningsih's words that are so tempting won't tempt me into something I shouldn't have. I knew and realized that I was going and draining all the money in these savings. My life will change completely.

Both of my parents will surely have their lives filled with an abundance of treasure. Still no, I don't want to take something that isn't mine.

Ning's explanation from earlier and her opening did not in the least make my heart waver. While in the village, my father advised me a lot with the teachings of goodness.

"Son, though we are foolish and poor, our faith in God must not fall. God does not want us to cheat or steal in any form."

"Once belonging to a person remains the property of a person. Don't take something that doesn't belong to us."

My father's advice to me, which I always keep in my heart. Every good teaching that father and mother can give me can bring peace to the heart. Well I'm still aware of what's wrong and what's right for now.

I immediately stood up and immediately went upstairs leaving mbak Ning who was confused looking at me as if he could not believe what I was going to do. And I believe that Ms. Ning knows where I'm going. Shaking his head. I don't give a shit.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok

"Who?" The voice of the madam from inside fortunately seemed like they had not slept.

"I'm the mistress, Mala,"....

"I'm sorry my mistress interfered with the rest of the ladies and gentlemen. Emm I want to talk ..."

"Come in" Madam let me into her room. The great master was sitting on a chair by the window of this room..

"What are your nights here Mala," The great sir wanted to know my purpose here that I realized I was interrupting their rest.

"Mmmm....Signore....Madam....."

"This afternoon the madam asked me to clean the main room."

"Then,,,,?"

"Sss sa me.. found this in the suitcase located the deepest in the closet that I cleaned sir." I was a little nervous about telling my master and mistress everything.

It seems that the face of the master really wants to hear my explanation, but the face of the mistress looks ordinary and listens to my words even though I am still nervous about dealing with these two masters of mine.

"I can't actually read master, but it seems like the contents of the small bag I found in this suitcase are very important, and also I have intended to throw it away because I think the contents in this bag are really not important.

But looking at this little book I remembered that this was very similar to Ning's savings book."

"After I asked mbak Ning it turned out to be a savings book, and I think it's good I return it to the mistress first. Is this book important to the ladies and gentlemen." Obviously I was at length while handing this passbook over to the big lady.

And the madam immediately opened the contents of the savings book. Maybe he was reading and looking carefully at the contents, I said in my heart.

"You know what this savings book is worth, Mala?"

"Emm." I doubt I'll answer your question." Ning said there were three billion mistresses.." Honestly I'm so nervous I'm really afraid that I'm wrong to answer.

But wasn't it true that Ning said the contents of his savings were three billion

" Is it true you only found this savings book, Mala?"

"No madam, in this bag as I leave it in the hand of the madam there are also papers that I cannot read.

And also, there is a jewelry box in it, also there are some red money sheets in the wallet everything is still complete as before. I'm just checking his stuff that's still usable or not."

"Why don't you just take the stuff and make it yours, you know that the used stuff is no longer used.

You can use the money to change your life, right."

"No madam, I have no right to take the rights of others, my parents in the village do not allow me to cheat let alone steal."

The madam only smiled faintly at my reply, and I couldn't decipher what her smile meant.

"Alright Mala, thank you. Please go back to your room. Tomorrow is the longest day for you, prepare yourself."

Madam kind of made a riddle to me. What will happen tomorrow with the grandmistress' plan, I'm confused.

"Good mistress".

While coming out of this room I went down the stairs to my room located in the back, close to the kitchen. And I am still very confused by what the lady said earlier.

What it means to have me prepare for tomorrow is the longest day for me.

Is the big lady going to fire me? Oh no, don't let that happen. End my life if that's what's gonna happen.

"How was Mala, what did the big lady say when you returned the items?" Ask mbak Ning. He seems disappointed with my actions. And wonder what the big lady's reaction was when I returned her former daughter's valuables.

"Come away, Ms. Ning, I was told to prepare myself, maybe I'll get fired." My heart feels hard thinking about it.

"When Mala was fired, you didn't do anything wrong."

True also said mbak Ning, I did nothing wrong. What should I fear. Then what was the purpose of the madam's words to me?

"Have you rest Mala, don't think too much of it." Again mbak Ning strengthened me even though I do not deny I feel sad if it will be fired and will soon be told to go home.

In the big lady's room.

Chequelek

The door opened from outside.

"Grandma and grandma haven't slept?"

"Not yet dear."

"Is Mala asleep?"

"Grandfather, don't worry."

"I don't doubt Mala's sincerity, Grandma."

"He deserves what he has to get later. I hope he likes it.."

"Yes Grandma is sure that your choice will be the best, and our plan will definitely work well in the future.

Don't let him know your identity until we reach our goal. Wait till your sister comes from New York and completes our plan."

"I'm sure we weren't wrong to plan this, may your sister accept Grandpa and Grandma's wishes and change her lifestyle."

It seems like grandma is excited about the plan.

"What are grandma's plans tomorrow?"

"Had your grandmother planned it well, just follow the rules. Go back to your room and Mala suspects you."

Who goes into the master's and mistress' rooms and greets them as grandparents?

Don't forget to press the thumb, baby, and press it
