"Gaby stop whining!" pekik Mike when he heard his only daughter kept asking him to accompany her to the zoo.
"But yeah!?" Gaby kept begging.
"Tante Maya will be with you tomorrow!" Mike gave an affirmation.
"I don't want to, I just want my dad to be with me, period!" the girl then got up from the dining table running towards her room and was about to lock herself up all day.
Since her mother's departure, Gaby has been an angry girl, her emotions are very unstable, especially her father is always busy with his work affairs, making the little girl grow in great loneliness.
..........
"Why is the plate still full?" ask Ananda.
"Miss Gaby doesn't want to eat" Tika answered while cleaning the plate she brought from her employer's room.
"Isn't it from the morning that the lady hasn't eaten the same skali?" Nani mutters.
"Did Maya's mom know?" Ananda.
"Miss Gaby is often like this, she will go on hunger strike if she is fighting with mister Mike" Tika explained.
"But then the lady will get sick!" Ananda felt sorry for.
"None of us can persuade him!" nani looked at Ananda.
"Let me try!" Ananda then prepares a new plate and takes it to Miss Gaby's room.
TOK TOK...
"Miss, can I come in?" Ananda waited for a while before finally entering the room for no answer.
"Miss, here I bring you food, you must be hungry" Ananda showed a smile.
"I don't want to eat!" Gaby snapped violently with barking eyes.
"If you don't eat, you can get sick!" Ananda maintained her smile.
"Why are you forcing? who are you really? huh uh???" Gaby ruffled waist.
"Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself yes, I am Ananda, the new servant here" Ananda bowed herself in as a sign of respect to her little miss.
"I don't care!" Gaby threw away her face.
"Miss, can I tell you a little?" Ananda walked over and put a tray full of good food on the nightstand.
Gaby is still indifferent.
"Before I worked here, I lived in an orphanage. There are so many disadvantaged children who do not have parents and are forced to fight for their own lives competing with friends in the orphanage. Every day me and my friends in the makeshift dining room, sleep only with thin and hard mattresses.we never feel the luxurious facilities like the lady has in this house. We never knew our parents. Even I, who am an adult like now, still feel envious of such a lucky lady!" Ananda looked at her little master who was beginning to be seen responding to her story.
"Do you want to see our situation? I've got the pictures if you want to see!" Ananda thrust his cell phone in front of his employer who began to steal a glance.
"This meal is so delicious, miss, you are so lucky to enjoy it whenever you want, I'm so envious!" Ananda again provoked Gaby's reaction.
"Have you eaten?" ask Gaby.
"Not yet" Ananda lied.
"Then this is for you!" Gaby showed her mother's face.
"I'm not used to eating alone, because in the parlour we always share, how about we eat together? it will taste better!" Ananda made a suggestion, but Gaby just stared at him with a difficult look.
"I'll feed you! how's it?" Ananda developed her most revealing smile. Without waiting for Gaby's approval, he immediately scoops the rice and thrusts it in front of Gaby.
"Aaaaaaaaaa" Ananda rounded her eyes to code Gaby to open her mouth. The girl finally ate it.
Ananda keeps raving about her life story at the parlour all the way to Gaby until the plate is clean.
"It's Miss's drink" Ananda thrust out a glass filled with water.
"Thank you" Gaby smiled.
"God, why is your smile so sweet, I love that smile!" Ananda's combing makes Gaby blush in shame. This is a trick that he used to persuade his younger siblings when they were snacking.
"I'll excuse you, miss!" Ananda who was finished immediately walked towards the exit of the room.
"Sir Ananda, thank you!" Gaby has forgotten her sense of regret.
"Together Miss, if you need anything, you can look for me in the kitchen" Ananda leaned over and walked out of the room and closed the door with a smile.
..........
"How's Gaby today?" mike asked as Maya gave her daily report in the study.
"It's mister!" Maya thrusts her phone to Mike and plays a video that has been recorded by Gaby's private driver secretly while the work tour activities take place.
"Hemmmm" Mike was like running out of words when he saw the cheerful expression and laughter of his daughter that he had never felt when they were both.
"The servant seems to have a positive impact on Miss Gaby" Maya expressed her opinion.
"Who is he really?" mike asked, curious about Ananda.
"This is the master" Maya who already knows the true character of Mike had indeed guessed that after seeing the video Mike will immediately ask about Ananda, therefore Maya deliberately brought Ananda's CV for anticipation.
"Then let him continue to be with Gaby!" Mike handed Ananda's CV back into Maya's hands after a few moments of careful reading.
"Okay sir" Maya nodded.
"Thank you Maya for today, you can rest!" Mike broke up their conversation.
"Together mister, then excuse me!" Maya bows herself and steps out of Mike's study.
..........
"Mike, can Mama talk for a second?" the big lady opened the conversation.
"What's the matter ma?" Mike turned his eyes towards the mother.
"How about mama's plea to you to find Gaby's mother?" the big madam looked at her son's face fixedly.
"Maaaaaa" Mike who understood the direction of the conversation immediately let out a heavy sigh.
"Mom doesn't care about you, if you don't want to find a wife of your choice, at least find a mother for your child, make her happy!" the big madam emphasized her sentence.
"Then do you want me to do what?" A desperate Mike could only give up on his mother's insistence.
"Do you have no candidate at all?" ask the big lady to look.
"Do you know that I've never been close to any woman?" Mike looked at his mother in despair.
"If you don't have, let Mama choose, Mama has a candidate!"
"Who?" ask Mike curiously.
"Of course the one who is very close to your daughter!" a mysterious smile was on the face of the great madam.
"Who?" mike asked, getting curious.
"Who do you think is the woman closest to Gaby right now?" the big madam deliberately gave a riddle.
Mike did not answer and just squinted his eyes and looked at his daughter.
"Ohh, come on mom!? she still young mom!!!" Mike stared at the protest.
"What age is important? look how they interact, there's no distance at all, they're so detached from each other, even I'm sure that if Gaby was told to choose between you or him, your daughter would prefer him!" the big madam was very sure.
"By!!!" Mike whining.
"It's not about you, it's about my favorite granddaughter!" the great madam could not be denied anymore.
"Just as for Mama!" Mike, who had lost a lot, finally went to work.
"Mom will arrange everything, you just have to follow it!" the big madam said a little bit shouting as her son had already started to move away.
...........
"Bigkkkkk!!!" Gaby hugged Ananda as she arrived at the yard.
"Miss why is she still outside? it's already night!" ask Ananda.
"I was waiting for you to go home to college!" Gaby enthusiastic.
"Waiting me for what?" Ananda's confused.
"I want to ask, when can I start calling you mother?" gaby's eyes twinkled.
"Miss!?" Ananda surprised.
"So Grandma asked me, do I agree that you're married to Dad? then I said of course I totally agree!" Gaby hugged Ananda tightly.
"Let's lady, it's late, we're in, here the wind is strong!" Ananda switched the conversation.
"Are you sleeping with me tonight?" Gaby begged.
"Alright, but I took a shower in the back room!" Ananda agreed.
"Okay, don't be long!" Gaby nodded.
They also walked into the house. While the big lady who had witnessed how Gaby pleaded with Ananda was very confident that her plan would work.
..........
"Darling you're so pretty!" the big madam came and hugged her future daughter-in-law.
"Thank you madam" Ananda blushed.
"Why still call me madam? from now on I'm your in-law, so call me Mama like Mike called me!" the big lady protested.
"Ba good Mama!" Ananda still felt awkward.
"Wahhhh mother is so beautiful!" Gaby has already started to change her calls.
"Thank you!" Ananda hugged Gaby.
"Is it ready?" Maya came to pick up the bride.
"It's over!" said Ayu.
"Let's go downstairs!" maya said while leading the bride.
The event was held simply in an orphanage, Ananda who is an innocent girl does not want the event to be held in a luxurious and large-scale.
Once ready, the bride's entourage walked in tandem to the bottom floor precisely in the multipurpose room.
"Wahhhh, that's so pretty!" almost all guests have similar comments.
Mike was no less surprised to see the change in the face of his bride. For a long time he stared unblinkingly.
"Save that look for later tonight!" goda George to his best friend.
"Damn it!" Mike elbowed George to unravel his nervousness. For some reason he felt suddenly nervous when he saw such a dazzling Ananda.
After the sacred promise was spoken before God and the invited guests, they finally became a couple.
..........
His days are lived with great joy because now he has a mother who loves him very much.
"Mother today so take me to school right?" whining Gaby.
"Dear, breakfast we leave" Ananda replied as he poured milk into the Princess's glass.
"Have you started going to college?" ask Mike to Ananda.
"Yes, my cut is over!" answer Ananda.
"Then let me take you two!" mike said as he chewed on the bread served by Ananda.
..........
"Bye mother, bye father!" gaby said as she peeked at her parents' cheeks before getting out of the car.
"Bye baby, wait for the driver to pick you up!" Ananda gave a message.
"Yes Bun!" Gaby nodded.
"Don't play far, stay in the pick-up area!" Ananda is back.
"okay!" answer again.
"Don't forget to finish your supplies!" again, Ananda's message.
"Ready bundakuuuu!" Gaby began to get anxious because over time this new mother became more and more chatty.
While Mike only held back a smile seeing the interaction of the two girls. She is very grateful because Ananda can be a surrogate mother as well as a good friend for Gaby.
"Here you go in, you'll be late!" Mike warned his daughter.
"Ready bossss!" Gaby saluted and opened the car door and walked towards her school building with an incredible spirit and a big smile.
"Come on George, we'll walk!" Mike gave instructions to his assistant.
"Okay sir!" George drove his car to the Ananda campus.
..........
Every weekend Ananda always took the time to do quality time with his daughter. Although the activities carried out are only simple such as cooking or making DIY objects, but it is very positive influence on the development of Gaby's emotions. Within a month of the marriage of his parents Gaby had shown a lot of changes. Now he is much more polite to the workers at home, more often greet and chat with them without restrictions, especially with the three good friends of his parents namely Nani, Tika and Desi. The big madam who had seen her son and granddaughter happy could also happily return home, leaving the three of them to continue their abandoned business.
"Bun tomorrow we're gonna make Apple pie?" ask Gaby at dinner.
"So dongggg!" Ananda lifted his thumb.
"Is there a Bun?" ask Gaby again.
"Later mother check again yes, if there is still less so that mother ask help sister Desi or sister Tika buy it!" said Ananda.
"Why don't we just shop? I haven't been out for a long time!" Gaby sulks.
"Okay, then tomorrow we'll go!" Ananda excited.
"Kok dad wasn't invited anyway?" asked Mike with a pouty face.
"Did you want to go shopping?" Gaby asked in surprise.
"Can't you?" dad's upset.
"Usually I'm busy working, where can I shop for kitchen needs?" Gaby insinuated the father, making the insinuated run out of words.
"Already, tomorrow let the driving father for us, okay yeah?" Ananda.
"okay!" Smiling father sumringah.
.........
Early in the morning Mike and Gaby were ready to leave.
"Bunnnn ayooo!" Gaby is impatient.
"Honey, it's still seven in the morning, the supermarket is still ready to open, another hour yes we just left!" Ananda was still struggling in the kitchen noting other needs to be purchased in addition to experiment making Apple pie.
"Then we go for a walk first look for good food!" gaby said he wanted to get out of the house.
"Well, you'll finish the notes first!" Ananda accelerated his record-keeping.
It didn't take long for them to finally be outside the house.
"Where are we going?" asked the confused Mike to drive his car.
"What do you want to eat, baby?" Ananda looked at the back seat.
"Chicken porridge!" Gaby's excited.
"Then we go to the lake, there are many tradesmen, there are usually chicken porridgeers too!" Ananda told her husband.
"okay!" Mike drove his car in the direction indicated by his wife.
Upon arrival at his destination, Gaby ran straight towards the porridge cart.
"Walk baby!" Ananda reminded her daughter.
"Come on!" Mike takes Ananda's hand to walk after their daughter.
"Ehhhh, come on!" Ananda followed her husband without rejection.
"Dad not eat?" ask Ananda to her husband.
"No!" Mike is a picky guy, he never ate food bought in public places like this in his life.
"You trying mine?" Ananda.
"Nope!" Mike shakes.
"Try a little, aaaaaaaaaaaa" Ananda thrust a mouthful of porridge in front of Mike's mouth, forcing Mike to eat it.
"Hows it? delicious right?" Ananda waited for the husband's expression.
"Lumayan!" said Mike.
"Then aaaaaaaaaaaa" the second, third, fourth and so on were given again to her husband.
Mike could not refuse, without realizing it, the taste of porridge that he considered so far was not good turned out to be very suitable on his tongue.
"One more bowl!" Ananda ordered again.
"How about another message?" Mike surprised.
"And I had a mother, the mother is still a lager lahhhh!" Ananda spoke without sin making her husband just sigh.
The second bowl they spent together. Without them noticing, Gaby who had been observing them had been very pleased. The girl was very happy because now her family was completely intact like her other friends.
"I love you mom and dad!" gaby's inner self in his heart.
