Miss Mudaku Half my Breath

Pier Mist

Daren sharpened his ears, eyes staring at the phone screen but the ears and mind were centered on the father who was talking on the phone with his best friend.

After a few minutes, the middle-aged man finally stopped his chat.

Daren let out a long sigh, although he gave up all his eavesdropping skills but he still could not guess what the topic of the conversation of his father and his best friend was.

"Come on Ren, we'll eat" Darmawan asked the son.

The two stepped towards the dining room where food had been served on the table.

"Please eat master, den" bargained mbok Minah, a nurse who has been babysitting Daren since the young man was a teenager.

"Thank you bi."

Darmawan just nodded towards bi Minah, his loyal servant.

After the departure of his real wife Darmawan has given freedom to bi Minah to choose whether to stay with him or want to go home to his hometown.

Because of the love and attention as well as a sense of indebtedness to the late mother of Daren, bi Minah finally prefers to remain loyal to keep and nurture Daren until now.

Sometimes bi Minah will return to her hometown to let go of longing for her children and relatives.

As a person who took care of the young man since adolescence, bi Minah was very observant to see the face of her young master who tonight looked glum.

After finishing his meal Darmawan headed to his study.

While Daren is still in the chair in the dining room.

His face looked lethargic and uninspired.

His gaze only focused on the screen of the phone that was in his grasp, without realizing that bi Minah had since noticed all her behavior.

"Den, is den Daren sick?"

"Ah ehm t not bi, why?"

"Auntie watch these few days den Daren eat it a little, what's the food aunty less delicious huh?"

"No bi, aunt's food as usual, better than any restaurant." said Daren.

"Then why did den Daren eat it a little, did anyone think about it?"

Daren looked at bi Minah, living together with women who had been considered like her own mother made the inner bond between them so strong, even her heart that was not okay bi Minah understood it.

Daren took a long breath.

"Say to aunt den, though aunt may not be able to give way out at least the burden that is squeezing aden can be reduced, say to aunt , what has made den Daren moody for these few days."

Daren looked at the intense bi Minah, a face that already looks wrinkled because of age as well as the burden that is on his shoulder, what he still has by adding to his gray love story.

"Aden do not hesitate, aunty will be a loyal listener of all hearts den Daren" continued bi Minah softly.

In the peel of a sweet orange and then handed over to Daren, it has become a habit of the young man if after a heavy meal he will definitely eat fruits, whatever it is.

"Ehm aunty knows a father's friend named Mr Hardy bi?" tanya Daren started to confide in him.

Bi Minah nodded surely, because indeed several times Mr. Hardy visited Darmawan's house.

"I like her daughter bi" continued Daren again, when the aunt's face rounded her eyes with her mouth open.

It was as if he could not believe the sentence that his young master had said.

After a long time Darmawan confused with Daren's attitude is so anti on women, his attitude is so flat and cold even though as beautiful as any woman who approached him, all that does not make Daren's heart interested.

But now there is no wind, no rain, Daren preached a very happy news for bi Minah.

"Really, my God, finally after so long there's finally a girl who made you melt and fall in love with her."

Bi Minah smiled happily then hugged her young master tightly.

"Congratulations, auntie is really happy to hear this happy news, surely Mr. Hardy's daughter is a special girl, invite her here and, aunt wants to get acquainted with her."

Eyes filled with happy twinkle emanated from the eyes of bi Minah.

"But bi..."

"But what den, does Mr Hardy not approve of you?" ask Minah to panic.

Daren shook his head in a doldrums.

"Why then?"

Daren sighed heavily, her love story like a ship docked in the wrong dock.

Anchor that has been firmly planted, he must return it.

"Tell me, what can aunt help to make den Daren" bi Minah looks so sad to see the gaze of her young master who is so empty and desperate.

"I'm late bi."

The sentence that was spoken quietly with a trembling voice, seemed to be a deep sadness as Daren told the truth.

"Slowly why den, why can't it be followed if it's too late."

The plain words from the aunt made Daren smile wryly.

"She already has bi."

Jederr.

It was like hearing lightning next to his ear.

Bi Minah covered her mouth with her hands, a sense of shock, sadness and disbelief into one.

Can't believe that his young master who is handsome dream of all women, turned out to have liked a girl who is not single anymore.

Bi Minah was speechless, she only saw a handsome face that was hurting her heart.

"It's unfortunate that my fate is bi, new once love but fell into the wrong heart."

Bi Minah shook her head slowly.

"You're innocent den, the heart will be anchored where it feels comfortable, but.do you know Mr. Hardy's daughter also if you like it?"

"Maybe he already knows bi."

"Then, is there no name in his heart?"

Daren shook his head weakly.

"She's already the wife of the bi."

Jederr.

For the second time bi Minah was like hearing a glydeg near her ear again.

"So aden likes people's wives??"

Daren nodded wryly.

"Duuh den, amit-amit deh, do not be a fan of den mending looking for another girl who is still single, never seize the property of others, karma is never in the calendar den."

Bi Minah repeatedly rubbed the back of her young master.

Even so dear to his young master but bi Minah does not want if her boss' son becomes a bad person who robs others.

"Bi I am also aware bi, calm down, I am not a stupid man who always obeys his selfishness without caring about the feelings of others, I will not rob him of her husband bi, I will not take him from her husband bi, I'm happy to see him happy" Daren said at length.

Bi Minah smiled happily.

"God must have prepared the best soul mate for you and, auntie sure, you are a good man, who will surely get the woman who deserves to be your last port."

Aunty.

Daren also pulled the corner of his lips until a sweet smile appeared.

"Do'a not let my ship not dock at the wrong dock again ya bi."
