My servant, Asha

Smart choice

Paris who had changed clothes, sat on the sofa of the living room restlessly. No hysterical cries or anger could be heard from the reading room. Silent. How can there be no debate inside. Is there a 1 vs 2 match? What's the situation in there?

When Paris saw her brother appear on the doorstep with anxious breaths, Paris was overjoyed.

"Quickly, go inside.." sizzle Paris who did not feel at home thinking Asha was inside with her parents. Arga opened the door...

Paris does not want his parents to put pressure on Asha as he has heard about Chelsea from Asha's own mouth.

Paris doesn't know exactly how it happened at the moment. But he hopes, Asha is able to pass every 'attacks' launched by the Mother. He who had gone through a lot more time with Asha, already felt close. So it's not like you're willing if you hurt her. Moreover, according to him, Asha can be an exciting sister if it can be given blessing by her parents.

A few hours before Asha entered the reading room...

"What do you want to say, Sha?" ask Bik Sumi when meeting in the laundry room. He was carrying laundry from the second floor.

"Before, I'm sorry Bi. I'm sorry I made a mistake" Asha said with a bow.

"What's wrong?" ask Bik Sumi who seems ready to listen to Asha's talk. Asha's heavy breathing indicated she was thinking something heavy.

"I'm sorry I wasn't being honest with Bik Sumi. I'm...." Asha hesitated to continue her sentence. But Bik Sumi was not urgent, he just kept waiting. "I ... actually do have a relationship with .. young master." Asha said it with fear. Sumi's bik was silent.

"It has nothing to do with the aunt. Why are you apologizing?" Bik Sumi was no longer surprised. Because he had seen for himself the closeness of the two of them when the young master reached Asha's body this morning.

"Because Bik Sumi is my parents here. Although Bik Sumi had warned that not to approach the young master, I even had a love affair with him," Asha said feeling guilty. Bik Sumi sighed.

"Everything's happened."

"And once again sorry, Bik. I want to face Mrs Wardah." Hearing this, Bik Sumi widened her eyes in surprise.

"What are you gonna do?"

"I promised Arga to accept his proposal. Before that, I have to face Mrs Wardah and apologize first." Bik Sumi's hands covered her mouth in gaping disbelief. "I promise I won't involve Bik Sumi and Rike. If something bad happens to me, I'll go by myself. Please Bik Sumi allow me to face," Asha pinta as she pulls the hands of Bik Sumi who is the mother in this master's house. He was silent again.

Bik Sumi shook her head.

"Mister Sumi disagrees?"

"No. Bik Sumi did not know what to respond to. It's all up to you. You're all grown up. You know what you have to do and decide." Bik Sumi resigned apparently.

"Bo pray Asha."

"Wouldn't you wait for the young master to accompany you? He will give you protection. It seems like young master loves you very much."

"I don't want him to see me at his parents' push, Bik. The chances of me being accepted are slim. She must have fought for me, I'm sure, but I didn't want her to rebel against her parents, Bik. Parents are more important than anything else." A smile on Asha's lips. A faint smile of doubt.

Right now, in the reading room.

"Listen carefully..." These two human children sharpen their hearing to listen to the words of Mr. Hendarto well. "Daddy blesses your relationship with both of you on condition... Arga never intentionally neglected work. Anyhow the job is important." Mr. Hendarto again emphasized this.

"Yes, Dad." Arga nodded. Asha looked towards Mr. Hendarto and nodded as well.

"Now how are you feeling, Asha?" ask Mr. Hendarto gently. He understood Asha could not speak much more. He's still shaken. Arga looked at Asha.

"I .. certainly feel better. Thank you Mr and Mrs..," said Asha slowly, while bowing politely. His voice was still hoarse from crying earlier.

The atmosphere of the reading room looks calm and peaceful. Although there were still lingering tears on Asha's face, she already felt better. Even very well. How not. Since entering the reading room, his lungs could not be comfortable to breathe. Stifled by fear and nervousness in the face of Arga's parents.

Making himself repeatedly hurt his own hands by clenching tightly to be distracted by the tight feeling of the chest. Now, after everything was clear, Asha could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Seeing you are very angry with us, Mother also thinks like your Father," added Mrs Wardah.

"Pa and Mommy's guess is wrong. You're still siding with your father and mother by continuing to work for both of us, accepting her as a member of the family." Mr. Hendarto said this with gratitude and pride. Their boys are adults. He made her wiser. Father's guess made Arga thin the lips feeling guilty in the heart.

His guess is not wrong. Arga will indeed go down that path, if there is no agreement in line with his wishes. But he remembered the words of Asha back then. He had to choose the most important thing among the other things.

The most important thing is his family. Without his family he is nobody. Although sometimes it kills his existence, but the truth is like that. It was his family who made him like this. He should not be selfish without listening to Mother and Father. Although she believes it is not wrong to choose Asha, she must be able to embrace both her parents to support her decision.

"Mothers think maybe Asha is also playing a role here. We salute him, he also dared to tell us about your own relationship. He was trembling because he was so scared. Mother was very surprised earlier."

"Not the Mother who deliberately interrogated Asha?" accuse Arga.

"You are..," said Mrs Wardah. "Asha went to Mommy herself to apologize and say about the relationship between the two of you." Arga stunned. So this is all the girl's whore? She did not expect Asha to be that brave facing the two of them alone. No, he's not brave. Asha is only reckless to face Arga's own parents. His eyes glanced at Asha who wet his lips from being discovered.

The Arga family's acceptance of her is indeed beyond Asha's scenario. Even so, this is the most beautiful gift. This is so happy.

"Mother did not expect Asha would take very long to confess about this. Until making Mother must discuss with Father." Mrs Wardah's eye beads widen. And so is Arga. Asha just blinked. This time he could raise his head a little. Her red nose is funny. If usually he looks fierce because of his reluctance and courage, this time Asha looks obedient and weak. Like needing an Arga grip on her shoulder to keep her back straight.

"W-what does Mother mean? So Mother is already...." Arga was unable to continue his sentence. His eyes looked at his mother and father with questions.

"Who do you think we are, Ga?" Madame Wardah glanced at her husband. Mr. Hendarto pulled his back to lean on the body of the sofa. "We are your parents. How could we not know about his son. Especially Dad... Your father has a lot of people who can report everything that happens in the office" Wardah explained as she tilted her feet. Could it be that they have known the events of Asha and Arga for a long time?

"Dad knows, about Asha?" asked Arga while touching her chin and turning to Asha. Thinking again about her story with Asha that happened in the office.

"Not from the beginning, but I know you must care a lot about him" Mr. Hendarto said, referring to Asha. This sentence embarrassed Asha. The two of them, rather himself, felt able to hide from the Arga family, but the truth was that he could find traces of the love they left behind easily.

So Mrs Wardah deliberately asked that many questions just to test Asha? Mrs Wardah knew about them from her husband. Mr. Hendarto told about Arga and Asha after the proposal in the kitchen.

Even so, Mrs Wardah was really surprised when Arga showed his unfortunate attitude to Asha. This was beyond his expectations.

Some office people told me about Arga with a woman in the office, not Chelsea. After being found out, it turns out that Asha was a servant in her house who often with her daughter Paris. However, he was the owner of the company led by Arga, many of his own people could report on the actions of his son.

Mr. Hendarto never rebuked his son about women except to interfere with work. During this time there were no events that disrupted the work during their time together, so Mr. Hendarto did not need to worry about it.

"But do you really think we're going to reject you, Asha?" ask Mrs Wardah to be curious. Asha thinning lips. Don't know if you still need to answer or not. Asha restless.

"Mother..," said Arga, not agreeing with Mrs Wardah to issue the question. Mrs Wardah just smiled.

"Mother just asked. Mother understood why she thought that way. Many tell of the rich man as evil and sadistic. Though the rich man is also a man who also has a heart," said Mrs Wardah who immediately hugged her husband's arm, "Like your father, this...,"

"Mother. There's still Asha here," I'm ashamed. It turns out that behind his assertive nature, Mr. Hendarto has a sweet side too.

"Asha's an adult despite not being good at cooking." This sentence was very piercing, but Asha understood. Of the many sentences spoken earlier, this sentence seemed to really stick clearly in his heart. That meant Asha had to learn to cook more vigorously. "At any time soon he will marry Arga," said Mrs Wardah who made Arga thinning lips and head gnashing. Asha became awkward and embarrassed to hear the word marriage from the lips of Mrs Wardah. Also look at Mrs Wardah's interactions she's never seen.

Arga suddenly stood up and bowed. "Thank you Mom and Dad. Arga is very grateful with kindness to both of you, willing to accept Arga's chosen woman." Mr. Hendarto smiled. So does Mrs Wardah.

"You really underestimated both of us, Ga. Where do you think you can be a good man? Because you are our descendants. It means we are the same as you. We are good people" asserted the mother funny. Dad smiled.

Arga approached them both. His arms hugged Dad, then changed to hug and kiss his mother's temple. "Thank you..," said Arga in earnest which made Mr. Hendarto and Mrs Wardah even more moved. Their eyes are a little teary.

"You're wasting your own choices" Dad said, patting Arga on the shoulder. Arga's head nodded.

Asha biting haru's lips on her couch looking at Arga's attitude. After that Arga approached Asha again and grabbed her shoulder from the side. Rubbing her slowly and repeatedly while smiling and looking at her affectionately. Asha smiled as well.

"When can we apply to Asha's parents, Ga?" ask Mr. Hendarto. They both gasp.

"There's one more thing we need to do, Mother," said Arga slowly and hesitantly, which made Father and Mother squinting to hear Arga speak. "The Asha family does not yet know, my relationship with Asha," said Arga who immediately made Mr. Hendarto and Mrs Wardah surprised.

"Huh? What the hell are you guys doing?" gerutu Mrs Wardah bought in disbelief. They are busy hiding and lying. Therefore Asha has not told about Arga. Moreover, there is certainty that Arga's parents will receive, Asha did not dare. "Mother doesn't believe you guys actually chose to hide like that. Even to the Asha family." Mistress Wardah's lips thinned at the sight of the two of them.
