Nindy (Hijabers Norak Conqueror of the Heart)

17. Disdain

"Thank you for taking me to the stop, Assistant Lie." Nindy bowed her body after getting out of the car.

The man smiled in response. "Don't hesitate, Miss. After this you will be my employer." Nindy chuckled at the word of the master pinned to her.

Is it true that after this he will become an employer? Just hearing it feels ridiculous.

Lie's assistant immediately passed after giving Nindy a request for permission as the car sped back into the street.

Nindy waited for the employee's shuttle bus by leaning her back against the support pole. His face this time seemed bright, very different from what he used to show every time he went to work, tangled and lethargic.

Work that piles up when morning, suddenly sorted out by itself. Out of nowhere the servants came, doing all the housework very deftly without having to be guided. As if they had been trained to do all that, until when Nindy woke up everything was done very satisfactorily.

"You awake? Come breakfast!" The man even offered Nindy breakfast.

On the dining table there is a sandwich with various stuffing in it. Boiled eggs, lettuce, beef sausage, fillet meat, onions, cucumbers added with chilli sauce, mustard and mayonnaise.

Nindy looked frowned. He stepped closer towards Yang Pou Han. Stretching out a hand, Nindy touched the man's forehead in surprise. "Are you sick?"

It was not usual for the man to be sweet, let alone prepare breakfast for him. Nindy was already used to the yelling Yang Pou Han asked and told this to Nindy. But this morning everything felt different. With a sweet smile, he offered Nindy breakfast.

Something's not right here.

"I'm doing fine. Now have breakfast, then get ready to go to work!"

Nindy's getting suspicious. The strange and unusual sweet attitude left the girl astonished. He shook his head then, "Don't be sweet. You look ridiculous."

Nindy's words were responded to with ruckus by Yang Pou Han.

It was hard to face the girl. Good wrong, bad wrong too.

He chose to sit across. Move that delicious sandwich on his plate. Stab with a fork, cut a little with a knife, then feed into the mouth. Ooo, enaaak.

"Back from The MOG, Lie's assistant picked you up. You don't have to wait for the employee bus. Oh yeah, I've given you a half-time work permit. So, Lie's assistant picked you up about half-two in the afternoon. You pack up before he comes." Who just kept chattering without pause.

"What's? Why?" nindy asked after swallowing her food into her throat.

"Fitting wedding dress. I don't want to paint me look ugly later. Even though we don't marry for love, it still concerns my pride. You have to prepare yourself well" he said, sweeping a handkerchief on his lips. "Although I'm sure, whatever you wear, the result remains the same." He continued.

Nindy snorted, took the piece of the sandwich by hand, then devoured it with her mouth wide open. "Basic, very clever to make the heart slump!"

Yang Pou Han saw that just smiling while leaning his back on the chair. "No need to upset me. Without eating haphazardly, you're ugly. So don't make yourself any worse."

Nindy can only rotate her eyeballs. Just now the man was being sweet, and in just a few minutes, his true nature had already come out by itself.

"Yes, at least this ugly person is capable of being your wife. Isn't this ugly person really great?" nindy said with a blink of her eye.

The man shook his head. "not great. You're just lucky."

"What's? Any luck? You're too high to judge yourself, Yang."

He raised next to his eyebrows, propping up his chin with both hands joined together. "My level is high. Everyone knows that," Yang Pou Han said braggingly.

"Yeah, I know that." Nindy's face looked lethargic, "At least give in to women when arguing," Nindy added later.

"Alright, I'll give in to you a little bit if we're officially husband and wife."

Nindy had stopped eating because of the answer that came from Yang Pou Han's mouth. The answer is simple, but it can make his heart warm.

Nindy's daydream ends when the sound of an employee bus horn sounds loud in the ears. He blinked his eyelids twice, lessening the shock of the loud horn.

Nindy immediately boarded the employee bus shortly after the bus door opened. As was his custom, Nindy chose a seat close to the windowpanes, then tore down her body to sit comfortably there.

Something was different, but Nindy didn't budge. The eyes of all the passengers almost turned to Nindy. A strange, annoyed look mixed with jealousy into one, but Nindy seemed to ignore the hostility shown by her friends. The girl chose to close her eyes while listening to a song from the earpiece she played from her phone.

*********

"So you're Nindy?" The wavy-haired woman in caramel color appeared to have her chest crossed while looking at Nindy with a cynical look.

He was wearing a wide-necked tank top, combined with famous brand jeans. His wavy hair was allowed to unravel with a slight glitter in the scorching sun.

The girl nodded kindly. Being an officer at a tourist spot should always display a friendly smile to visitors, right? Whatever the type of visitor, there are good, ketus or annoying Nindy must be ready and keep a friendly smile.

"Can I help you, Miss?" Nindy pulled over the bucket of fresh small fish that would be used as water animal feed so as not to block the beautiful lady in front of her.

"Ouuwweh, you stink!" the woman said, shaking her hand in front of her nose.

Nindy could only smile while apologizing. It is natural that a beautiful woman cannot stand the fishy smell of fish. When viewed from a super glamorous appearance, Nindy suspects that the woman is from the elite.

"Is Miss there any need with me?"

The woman nodded, but reluctantly looked at Nindy's face. "Follow me! I want to talk to you."

"With me. Emm, what's the matter, huh? Do we know each other? I'm working, Miss. There's no way I'm leaving my job just to talk about personal matters elsewhere. Miss can say it here. I'll listen to it."

He snorted, "Alright, if that's what you want. I also don't want to mince words with a girl like you." Sighing deeply, the beautiful woman continued her words. "I want you to leave Yang Pou Han. Get out of his life and never show your nose in front of him again!" he said with a chest.

Instead of being upset, Nindy was calm. "Ooh, that problem. That's impossible, Miss. I dare not do it. Or maybe Miss could help me to ask mister Yang to release me. I'll be very grateful later."

Maybe it's a chance for Nindy to get away from the guy. He still had a written agreement for a month, there was no way he would dare to just walk away ignoring his one-month obligation.

"How dare you tell me!" snapped the woman with glaring eyes.

Nindy was surprised, but when her lips wanted to say forgiveness, the beautiful woman spoke up. "Do you think you deserve to be a wife of a businessman like Yang Pou Han. Look atyou! Reflect! Is there no mirror in your home? Oh, I forgot, you don't have a house." His tone sounded scornful, but Nindy was still patiently serving him.

"Already, Miss. It's not good to scream here. Don't make a fuss!" Nindy felt bad about the large number of visitors who started to pay attention to their conversation.

"I just want you to realize, poor women don't know themselves." He shouted out loudly, grabbing the attention of everyone who was passing by him. "You think I don't know who you really are?"

He drew closer to Nindy, showing a mocking smile on his face. "If Yang Pou Han knew how you came from, he wouldn't be willing just to look at you."

He smiled obliquely, showing a mocking look towards Nindy. "It's easy to find a history of a parasite like you. You framed Yang Pou Han for him to fuck you, didn't you? It must have been your mother who taught you to be jal@ng like that.

PLAACQUES

Nindy couldn't hear a bad name being thrown for her mother. Even though Nindy knew how dark the mother's world was, she was still a hero to Nindy.

"How dare you slap me!" With one slash the woman returned a slap on Nindy's cheek with all her might, until her hand felt numb, and hot.

The girl leaned over, rubbing her sore, hot and sore cheeks. Until fresh blood was salty on her tongue, indicating the woman's slap had managed to tear the corner of Nindy's lips.

"You can't cover your identity, cheap lady. You don't even know who your father is, do you? Cih, let alone yourself, your mother just doesn't know who your father is because too many men have fucked him."

"Enough!" Nindy's eyes began to dew, feeling a tightness in the chest.

All this time he tightly sealed the gaping wound with all his might. Hope happiness will come over regardless of who he is.

But a wound is still a wound. He was scratched so deep that the marks could not be covered or hidden. Until when someone has incised a sharp object to the same wound, it makes the old wound look worse and worse.

"You think Yang Pou Han will accept the girl of a mop@cur child to be his wife? Don't dream too high. He'll throw you out if he finds out the truth about you."

Nindy gripped the edge of her shirt firmly. All eyes were staring low at him. The despicable and scornful look directed at her made the girl unable to simply hold her head up.

Withstanding the cry, Nindy pushed the woman's body rough to the ground.

"Basic fucking woman!" the woman had a pain in her butt due to an imperfect landing.

Nindy didn't care, she ran after him. Dozens of people grumbled and cursing in annoyance as Nindy broke through the crowd who had been watching the incident closely.

He ran and continued running, ignoring everyone's sharp gazes aimed at him.

"Nindy!"

He heard the voices of people calling him, probably because he ran away while he was at work, but he no longer cared.

Heart's hurt. He couldn't look everyone back. He felt despicable and worthless.

Who asked to be born from the womb of a pel@cur? There aren't. He could not choose in the womb who he would be born to. Was it his fault?

Does he not deserve the respect of women in general because he does not know who his biological father is?

Who can he ask? His mother died when he was in the third grade of elementary school. And he was put in an orphanage afterwards.

Until Nindy completed her senior secondary education, she fled to the country to work through a labor-providing foundation.

Not because he wants to make a lot of money. Wasn't it! Nindy just wants to disappear from the negative stigma people have about her. Wanting to get rid of a bad view of his origins that seems like a disgrace to everyone who lives close to him.

Its origin is unclear. Nindy knew and was aware of it, but was it her fault?

All this time he had been keeping himself from falling into a pit like his mother. But what has he got?

Nindy is still the son of a pel@cur. Although he tried to be a good child, still the status of the child of a pel@cur will always be embedded in him.

He was still running in an uncertain direction, until he felt he was too far away from the area of "The Miracle Ocean Garden".

Nindy stopped her steps, bent her legs and calmed down. His palm opened, then covered his face with both palms.

He cried, shedding all the sadness he had been harboring. He was trying to be strong, smiling and cheerful in every circumstance. However, sometimes a sense of tiredness and despair came to his fragile soul.

He bent his legs forward, hugging his own knees while burying his face between his body and the bent knee.

"You think Yang Pou Han will accept the girl of a mop@cur child to be his wife? Don't dream too high. He'll throw you out if he finds out the truth about you."

The woman's voice was ringing back in her ear. Nindy covered her ears with both palms, but the voice was still buzzing, sounding over and over again as if terrorizing her.

He cried again, powerless to resist the insults. He's just an ordinary man. He was just trying to be strong even though his heart was fragile. Just drowning the face between his knees and body alone was what Nindy could currently do.

For too long he was in such a position, making Nindy unaware someone had been standing in front of him.

Until the voice called out to him, awakening Nindy from her daydreams and grief.

"Hi, wake! Go, go!"

He looked up, knowing whose voice was calling him. The voice that he had so much hated and he cursed his existence. However, for now, Nindy missed the voice that was calling her that.

"Yes!" he said with a hoarse voice mixed with tears.

Nindy rubbed the clear fur that still escaped in the eye patch, she nodded then.

********

"Youuh! Don't be so rude, Yang!" The girl looked in pain as Yang Pou Han applied the cream on the corner of her torn lips.

"Be quiet! If not, I'll rip it even wider!"

Nindy fell silent, the death threat managed to make the girl comply. He grimaced a little when the cotton swab hit his injured lip.

Instinctively, Yang Pou Han blew away those injured lips to just relieve the pain Nindy felt. Until when the cold air was felt, Nindy turned her head.

They were silent for a moment, fixated on their position which turned out to be so close. And maybe, if Nindy doesn't immediately stop her head from moving when she turns her head, their lips will touch.

Nindy's eyes blinked then, scooping her consciousness to immediately return to the surface. He lowered his head, avoiding the gaze of the man beside him.

"Thank you, Yang." It was all that came out of Nindy's lips without daring to look at Yang Pou Han.
