Marrying my Maid

For Treasure

"Truly I don't care if he wanders off and doesn't come back, Mas. I'm just disappointed he never sends word or money to mom. I was also disappointed because of her actions, mother had to work hard until the end of her life." replied Kiran with a slightly wheezing breath.

"Roman..."

"If he sends word and at least a little money, maybe my brother Bagas won't have to take the trouble to pay me, Mas. He might as well be alive. My sister was very young in an accident and eventually died. Since childhood, he has never felt happiness. His life is just that he spent working for his mom, grandma and me" Kiran said. All the hoopsthe ones that had been buried in his heart were now stirring already.

"But what if your father's been gone all this time, Ran?" asked Darren who caught both of Kiran's cheeks.

Kiran shook her head slowly, "I don't remember very well. Mother once cried silently after seeing the news on television. Mom said she saw Dad with a beautiful woman" Kiran said.

"really? Then you know how her face is, Ran?" darren asked he stared excitedly at Kiran.

"I forgot Mas, I was a kid and didn't understand much. And ever since then my mother and sister Bagas never talked about Dad. Even I don't want to tell me what it looks like." Kiran said.

Darrren stunned. His heart was filled when he saw Kiran cry. He was also injured especially after seeing the radiance of Kiran's eyes that looked so sad.

"Yes, we entrust everything to Arya. Don't cry or think about what hurt you again!" darren said he hugged Kiran gently while giving her a few kisses on Kiran's forehead.

"I don't want to think about that anymore, Mom. But every time I think of my sister Bagas and my mother I feel more disappointed with Dad," replied Kiran. she returned Darren's embrace and drowned her face in the chest of Darren's field.

"Then what if Arya manages to find him? What are you gonna do, hm?"

"A...I don't know, Mas. I'm..." Kiran is getting sobbing. He shook his head slowly because he was unable to endure the grief that had been buried in his heart.

Darren smiled sweetly, while gently rubbing Kiran's hair. " No need to answer, my dear. No need to cry anymore! I'm sure your dad has a reason why he's doing this."

"But Mas..."

"Shhh! It's night now we're sleeping."

Kiran breathed out slowly. He rubbed his face that was wet with tears.

"Thank you for listening to all my stories, Mom?"

"Same - same darling, now we're sleeping huh! don't be sad anymore!" whispered Darren while kissing Kiran's lips.

"Is what Arya said true? But I don't think I can believe that Larasati is dead?" he lowered his head while massaging his suddenly dizzy head.

Pandu fell silent after staring at some documents that were in his study.

It's getting late. But Pandu still muses over all Aryan sayings in his study. Pandu is very sorry, but on the other hand his heart justifies everything he has done.

"Isn't getting rich the goal? Then why am I so sorry that I left them?" ask the Guide in itself.

Pandu squeezes her hair strong. His head is getting dizzy especially when the shadows of his past are now increasingly dancing - nari in the corner of his eye. Pandu roared, his old face was getting smelly and also lethargic.

"Now what should I do? Laracati... Waitaminute! Isn't Arya still keeping one more secret? and he hasn't told me where Zivanna is. I have to figure it out.

Pandu exhaled a long breath he put his hair back then leaned back in his chair.

"Find out what, Mom? And which Aryan do you mean?"

Pandu turned his head, he was nervous to see Lesti standing not far from him. Lesti's face looked so serious.

"What are you doing here?"

"You sure it's nothing - what? then who are Larasati and Zivanna?"

The deg!

"A.I don't know Larasati and Zivanna" Pandu said as he looked at Lesti. He tried to smile even though he had to.

Pandu got up from his seat. After which, he walked up to Lesti who was standing not far from him. Lesti's face looked slightly flat and grim. So Pandu becomes was - was.

"Don't lie to me again, Mom! We are no longer young to lie to each other, we have also been married for decades. So I think there is no point in lying," Lesti said her eyes were sharp, making Pandu even more unreasonable.

"I'm not lying Lesti. Then what good would it be if I lied to you?" Pandu smiled thinly. He tried to persuade Lesti even though his heart was uncertain.

"Then answer my question. Who is Larasati and Zivanna, Mas?"

Pandu breathed a long breath. He could not continuously switch the conversation with Lesti. Pandu looked seriously at Lesti.

"What if I was honest you wouldn't be angry?" ask Pandu. He stared fixedly at the face of the wife who was still so beautiful even though she was no longer young.

"Depending, if you go too far, I'll be angry. So what have you been hiding all this time?" ask Lesti.

"There's nothing I'm hiding, and about Larasati and Zivanna, she's my neighbor who's still in the village. Arya said that they were dead" replied Pandu face made as sad as possible.

"You sure they're just your neighbors?" Lesti stared fully in the direction of Pandu. She was looking for lies from her husband's eyes.

"Y..They are just my neighbors. Long ago, Larasati's parents were very good with me. They even consider me a child. So yeah...." Pandu did not continue his speech. He looked down and pretended to feel beaten.

Raut face Lesti softened to see Pandu who looked so beaten. He sighed slowly then approached Pandu. Lesti touches Pandu's arm slowly.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad. I'm just afraid you're lying" said Lesti, smiling as she looked at Pandu's face.

"I'm not sad, I just feel lost. I haven't seen them in a long time, but they're gone" Pandu said.

"I know you must be sad. But yes, they are gone too. Better you sleep now, Mom! It's been too late" said Lesti, his face that had looked grim now.

"Yes, I'll go to bed soon after finishing some work. You go to sleep first!" pandu. He kissed Lesti on the forehead and then sat back in his chair.

"Yes, I went to the room first, Mom. Don't stay up! Remember, you're not young anymore,"

"Hm, I know, Les. Good night."

"Yes, good night, Mommy."
