Agus picked me up around 7 p.m. When I got home, I didn't see anyone. The atmosphere here still feels foreign to me. Is this the atmosphere in the home of the rich? Always deserted.
“Goodnight, Miss.”
“Night, Bi” Aunty who since yesterday helped me but I don't know her name yet.
“I, Mai, Miss, call me Aunt Mai” Aunt Mai like know my heart
“Good, Aunt Mai. Is everyone not home yet, Bi?” I spread my eyes across the room.
“Mr Dirga has just gone to attend a banquet. Young Master has not returned. If you and little Miss are already in the room with Santi, they've had dinner, Miss"
“At home back?”
“Not, Miss. They're in the upstairs room. Not far from Nona”'s room
“I saw them first, Bi” I'm going upstairs soon. From the end of the stairs came the sound of Jen laughing. I haven't seen them all day, I've missed them so much.
The door of the room opened slightly, I stretched my head into the room. They are busy alone. Excel and Jeje are playing a game, while Jen accompanies Santi, playing a doll. Placing the doll in a small chair, it seemed to be holding a tea event.
In the past, we also had all this, although not as good and complete as this, but the games that Excel and Jeje played, were the latest output, which his Grandfather bought. And Jen, has all the doll collections she likes. I always put money aside to appreciate the achievements they achieved.
“Mama” Voice screeching Jen, disperse my daydream. Excel and Jeje turned to look at me.
“Mama caught, yes?” I giggle. Santi, stand up immediately. He greeted me with a nod of his head.
“Ma, look at this” Jen pointed out the dolls of various characters in a neat layout in a closet. “The grandfather who gave us all this” Jen jumped a little on his mattress, then he stretched out his hands, then spun.
“Be careful, Jen” I approached Jen who almost fell.
“Jen, it's rude to call an older person with a call like that” I'm holding Jen, her body already feels heavy on me. After losing a lot of weight, now Jen's body has been refilled.
“You know, what's grandfather's name right?” I kissed Jen's cheek bouncing when it touched the tip of my nose.
“Know, Ma” Jen's lips are as if they can be in pigtails.
“Call grandfather's name correctly, it's new his name respect and respect the parents, Jen understand?” I stroked Jen's hair. Jen loves it when her hair is twisted in half.
Jen nodded her head in understanding, then poked her arms around my neck, our cheeks stuck together, so that easily, I could shower her with small kisses.
And two of my beloved men have laid their bodies on me. They're already big. Time goes by very quickly, they are babies who cry today, and become adults the next day. That's what it feels like. I held my arms to them even though my hands were unable to hold their bodies at once.
“Honey, you guys are not ashamed of Sister Santi” I want to end the hugging moment, because I feel tight in the 3 people in front of me.
“Not” answer them simultaneously.
“Alright, you guys are indeed big babies, Mama” I'm breaking down my body completely. With feet still dangling to the floor. Oh, back.
Suddenly they showered me with kisses, filling my whole face. Although they kissed me every day, I don't know why this time it felt different. I laugh at once and cry. My tears just came out.
“You don't want to continue playing again?” I patted Excel and Jeje on the back, which was still on top of me. To be honest, I was no longer able to hold the weight of the three of them.
“Mama surrender?” Jeje raised his head to look at me.
“Yes, Mama gave up, you guys are very heavy”
“OK, we go” Continue while rising from sleeping position. They continued their fun game.
“Sorry, over the view, Sister Santi” I turned to Santi.
“No problem, Nona” Santi smiled. He's just shaken. “Fine, you'll have dinner soon, Nona”
“Titip them a minute yes, Mbak”
“Sure, Miss. Let's sweet Miss, we play again” Jen immediately move, do not forget a long kiss buried on my cheek.
“Jen, play again yes, Ma”
I nodded, Jen returning to the small table where she played with her dolls. I hope I can make them happy, even if it's not this fancy. I don't know until when, it's gonna be over.

Harris's room is across from the kids' room. The second floor of this house does form a circle by leaving the middle open, so that it can see the living room below it.
Apparently, this room is not in the lock. It felt cold and desolate, like a long time uninhabited. I got a little goosebumps, let alone the light here being so dim. Throwing away the bad thoughts, I turned on all the lights, so the room was brightly lit, feeling like daylight.
I flushed all over my body, letting the cold water through the pores. If only, all the pain could be wasted with running water.
Melisa, can I hate you as much as I want? As much as I can afford? As much as you hurt me? How long have you been playing behind my back? It's too late now, but I think I need to know everything. Yeah, I guess, all waiting for me to be able to stand firm in the face of the reality of my past. And this is the time, I'm ready now.
I finished my show, before I got into any other trouble. This time there was no choice, those little clothes, which I had to wear. The pajamas available here have all vanished. I went out of the bathroom, looking for clothes I might be able to wear. There is, but still only a rope as a hook and the length is only knee-length. Bodo, then use a blanket.
Indeed, such clothes are common, but I never wear such clothes. What else if someone else is watching, I'm so uncomfortable. Even in front of Mas Rian I never wear it.
After putting the tray outside the door, the room according to Aunt Mai's orders, I lay down on the sofa. The sofa alone is more comfortable than my mattress, how does it feel? I was tempted to try, but, the good side of my heart forbid it. My place is here.

I woke up when I felt the light blinding my eyes. I jumped out of my sleep. The clock hanging on the wall was already showing at 7am. Why am I sleeping so well? The room was empty, and I immediately took a shower and headed for the children's room. But their room was empty too.
Run down the stairs to the kitchen. However, I did cross paths with Aunt Mai. He said the children went to a game with Mr. Dirga.
Okay, kids, you didn't even ask Mama's permission. I don't know, should I be worried about letting the kids go without me? Never before have we been apart like this.
"Are you ready?" Harris was standing behind me. Looking at me with his eyes as sharp as that eagle.
God, I forgot, I had to move to Harris' house. Without breakfast, I went back upstairs. Take my bag and my cell phone. The others I can bring next time.
“Sorry, it has made you wait” I saw Harris leaning on his car.
Without looking, he immediately got into the car. I followed him into the car and sat in the back.
“I'm not a taxi driver” I understand what it means, I also move to the front. Couldn't it be, don't you freak it out? Just because of the sitting position.
We sat in silence, occasionally glancing at Harris who was focusing on driving.
“Johan where?” I broke the silence.
“She's off"
“Where is your house?”
“You will know” soon
Never mind, don't talk to him. We may be from a different planet. I went back to silence, there was only music from the car audio. And the song made my tears melt.
In less than 15 minutes, we stopped at a modern-style house. Harris's house is very different from Papa's. Smaller but still luxurious.
I followed Harris without speaking. He will be more powerful in his own home. All of a sudden, Harris turned around, I almost hit him, if I didn't put the brakes on my steps.
“Because of Papa's request, we sleep one room, but you should still sleep on the sofa. Understand?”
I nodded in response. Right no? He will rule in his own home. It's okay, the sofa here must also be as big as the one there.
However, I was wrong. The sofa here is about the size of a regular sofa. This room feels cold and scary. The paint of the room is pale in color, and only the clock hangs on the wall. Big bed, in flank 2 light table. There were also oddly shaped chairs, how could one sit with such a shape?
“Your book is in there, remember don't mix your clothes with mine. Don't touch anything in the glass cabinet inside sana” Rules again. Why not just write it down. I can forget later.
“Do not dirty my sofas, dry your hair before going to sleep there, do not let the water drip like yesterday, and never once touched it” He pointed at the strange chair earlier. Who would want to touch that?
“You do what you used to do, I won't limit you, but 8pm should already be at home. If you can't part with your kids, bring them here with you, just don't make a fuss. Santi and Agus will watch over them as you go” He ends his long speech, along the memory lane.
Don't be angry, if I forget your rules, Mr. Calculation. Lots, but I don't feel at a loss either. The face of your jutek when saying this rule, will always be a reminder of me.
"I have to work now" I'm back to finding my voice, having lost some time.
“Go, if you can't drive a car, there's a motor in the garage. Don't forget to refuel” right? Mr. Calculation starts again.
“Thank you. Can I go to the bathroom? I have to change clothes”
“Go, maybe the clothes that Johan prepared do not match your taste” Johan? Choose clothes for me? Whoa, it must be the clown costume he bought. But, it is still profitable, if Harris who bought it must be all models rich Mbak Kunti clothes.
“Sorry, inconvenient, actually unnecessary. I can take my shirt at home” I smile sweetly. Cover up what I just thought.
“If you don't work, help Rina and Sari take care of this house” I know Sir, I'll work here, this is not free is it?
“OK, no problem” I smiled briefly before actually getting into the room, which I thought was the bathroom. Apparently, the room contained Harris's clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, and some belongings.
I surrounded the room, bigger, bigger than my room. And it looks like it's my closet, I'm taking long jeans and a shirt with sleeves up to the elbows.
Harris was still sitting on the couch with his laptop on. He looked at me when I came out of the dressing room.
“You can use laptop?” I want to answer not only. He thinks I can't do anything? Sure, there's not much I can do.
“Slightly. Why?" He answered my question for a long time.
"Just want to know" he replied indifferently.
It's up to you, sir. I'm lazy to serve you.
