Haina returned to the room after spotting the servants who were gossiping about her. It was only the second day since she became the wife of the young master in this house, but she had already found her haters. The difference in social status is always a classic problem that makes a marriage tested.
"What if I'm a country girl? Why do they hate me? They should have blamed the Young Master. Why did he choose me?" haina grouse held back in annoyance.
He became even more upset when he just stayed in the room. If you don't watch television, play cell phones. He was bored and dead of style. Especially when seeing a short impression of busy friends in the story of his social account. Just being quiet like this was not her at all.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of the door being knocked broke Haina's daydream. Lazily he got up from his lying position then sat sweetly on the sofa and took a magazine at the table, pura - pura mebaca.
"Miss can I come in?" ask someone from outside.
"Yes, come in" said Haina.
Chequek.
The door opened and Vivi entered with a tray containing a plate of fruit and a glass of drink.
"It's time to eat a snack, Miss" Vivi said as she presented what she carried on the lounge's glass table.
"Thank you, Vi"
"Same - same Miss. Then excuse me" Vivi said, holding a tray between her waist and her left hand.
"Wait, Vi. You sit down first, accompany me for a moment."
Vivi nodded obediently and sat down on a chair opposite Haina.
"Yes Miss. Is Miss bored? There is also a library, gym and swimming pool. If Miss wants me to be able to accompany" Vivi bargained with passion.
Haina shook her head slowly. It feels lazy if you have to find a dislike gaze again when he is outside the room. Instead of Haina being scared, she just doesn't want to ruin her day by thinking about other people's responses about her. In terms of adapting to his new status, he wanted to feel comfortable in the house.
"No need Vi, we're here. Tell me something, yeah. I want to chat" said Haina at last.
"Chat what Miss. Emm...Was this morning Brother Mar preparing the bathroom and the necessities in this room, Miss?" Doubtfully Vivi expressed her curiosity with heart - heart.
"He only prepared the bathroom. The others I prepared. Why, Vi?"
"I think Miss should be careful with that Sister Mar. He's close to the Big Miss, I'm afraid..."
"Fear why Vi?" Haina's curiosity is lured to explore more deeply how her husband's family.
"Maybe Miss already knows. Young Master was once engaged to the famous actress, Jovanka. The fight did not go ahead because of the Big Lady." said Vivi enthusiastically.
"Did the Great Mistress not care?"
Vivi nodded quickly, confirming Haina's conjecture. He has worked for almost two years as a waitress in Benjamin's family home. Young Master Harly dated Jovanka for a year. Then they got engaged, but it wasn't until a year later that the engagement was off.
"Yes Miss. The big lady doesn't like Jovanka"
"Why? They look appropriate"
Vivi flicked her lips considering how angry the Big Lady was when she found out that her grandson was fighting silently - silent with the girl he said was inappropriate to be with his granddaughter.
"Emm..seems like the Big Madam objected because Jovanka an actress who often appeared to make out on the screen tivi" said Vivi.
"That's all?"
"Jovanka comes from a modest family according to the Big Lady"
"Oh yeah? What kind of family is it?"
"I know less too. But it doesn't seem like enough to impress the Big Lady" Vivi replied.
Haina smiled wryly hearing that. He's not even who - who. She's just a country girl, from a family she doesn't have anyway. While the former tunagan husband who already had a big name was not approved, how did she?
Ah let Young Master Harly take care of that. It wasn't her that asked to be married. He'll be acting stupid. But, is Haina capable of facing rejection for the sake of rejection? Maintains his pride above the humiliation he might get tomorrow.
"Tell me everything you know about Young Master Harly, Vi!"
"Actually I don't really know the love story of Young Master Harly, Miss. It's just a story I got from friends who are seniors"
"Yes, thank you Vi"
"No problem, Miss. But please don't tell Mr. Sun that I told you yes, miss. Later he could get angry" Vivi half-whispered.
"Okay, I won't!" sahut Haina's.
"I'll excuse you Miss." Vivi retreats leaving Haina who starts to get preoccupied with her thoughts.

The night is getting late, but Haina is not yet asleep. Though Mr. Harly does not exist because of the service outside the city, he should be able to sleep comfortably without feeling nervous like before.
Frustrated by her insomnia, Haina decides to go down to the kitchen and make a glass of lullaby. He was lazy to wake up the waiter to serve him in the middle of the night.
Haina put one stick of cinnamon into a glass and poured it with hot water. Then he cut a banana and put it in a glass filled with cinnamon, lastly Haina poured a little vanilla powder to make it more delicious and fragrant . He used to make it for the mother who often had trouble sleeping when sick first. An alloy that will make the muscles relax and predetermine the sensation of uplifting.
Haina held a large glass handle in her hand, climbing the stairs with heart.
The sound of several people from the direction of the living room made Haina stop her steps in the middle of the stairs.
"Not Young Master, who is it?"
The sound of footsteps could be heard approaching to the middle room where the stairs stood firmly. Haina hurriedly went upstairs when she saw three women walking down there.
He stopped his steps when he passed the stairs and hid behind a large jar as tall as a human.
"How can we defy like this? My granddaughter got married without telling me. He did it silently - silently. Why doesn't anyone realize what he's doing. Someone should have reported to me and stopped him!" with half a shout Ananta—The big Lady Benjamin threw her little tote bag into the sofa in the living room.
Haina was able to see and recognize who the angry old woman was. He had already remembered the faces of the Benjamin family members although not all of them.
"Mom calm down first. Tomorrow let's talk to Harly. Now let's take a break, ma'am" Anggita spoke, the second child of Grand Lady Ananta Benjamin.
"What's there to talk about? Harly marries a lowly girl in secret and announces her marriage to the public! He's outrageous, really too!" The Big Madam's tone was getting higher showing her annoyance.
"Already Ma. Like I said it happened. Just make them separate, isn't that easy for Mom?" said Anggita while sitting and straightening his legs on the sofa.
"But still, everyone knows my granddaughter is married. Making him a widower will make his name a little tarnished..."
"Who cares about that, Mom? Millions of women are willing to queue up if offered the wife of the Young Master of the Benjamin family. What are you afraid of?"
"But still.what if people knew my son-in-law's granddaughter was just a lowly girl" the Big Madam spoke with annoyance. He really did not accept that fact, that his grandson dared to marry a girl who was very far from the standards of a daughter-in-law he expected.
"Then we sort it out before everyone knows, Mom" said Anggita and then left his mother who was still angry.
"Whatchu mean? Oi...Gita, I'm not done talking. Explain me! What's your plan?"
"I'm sleepy Mom. There's still tomorrow!" exclaim Anggita without looking again and go into his own room.
It turns out that the restless Haina was indeed there, to the point of making her unable to sleep. Turns out there's a guy who keeps swearing at him—low-down girl.
Haina returns to her room with shaky steps. It seems like her days as Young Master Harly's wife will be heavy, maybe very heavy. Adding to the two haters, the haters are very heavy and will definitely mess up his self-defense.
"That's it. What did I expect?"
Haina smiled wryly upon finding this unpleasant situation. But he knew that he had to prepare to survive and not get hurt for anything that might happen tomorrow.
For that he must go to sleep immediately. Rest his physical and his tired heart, tired of facing reality.
Haina drinks her sleeping potion and turns off the lights. Laying down in bed and ready to go to dreamland.
