"As long as you're gone, your room hasn't changed at all. Almost every day was cleaned" said the baron that night, as they were enjoying dinner together. Complete one family. There's Barent at the table, too.
"Yes, Mom. I take good care of my mother's room" said Barent.
"His room was taken care of, what about the owner's heart. I crouch behind the bars, you're even delicious here. Same with your young wife" said Mary.
"Mom, don't blame Daddy. I brought Nora here so she could take care of Dad. As long as the mother is absent, the father is late to eat and the medicine is rarely taken. Nora takes care of everything. Look now, Dad looks fitter, doesn't he," said Barent. She deliberately made up the story, as if her mother did not know about Nora, even though she had a brain so that Nora could take good care of her husband. Between Mary and Nora there is a written covenant.
"I was so shocked to see my house falling apart. He left with another man, you were thrown in jail for what you didn't do. How can I eat and sleep in peace?" Sergey Baron in a sad tone.
"Mom can't turn on Dad, if you want to be angry. Just get angry at me. I planned all this" Barent said again. He pretended to have a face full of guilt. Under the table, his feet played with his mother. He gave the code so that his mother would still feel sad.
"I'm sad because she's younger and prettier than me. Surely you will not let go" murmured Maria again. He bribed his food lazily, as if there was no appetite.
"I can't be rude to women, let alone to my wives. I can't just throw it away after you return to this house" Baron said in a loud enough tone.
"If you ask me to divorce her, don't dream that I will. I've been trying to get him out of your sight. Let's just say you don't see it, let it all happen the way it used to,"
"You can talk like that, but what about me?" ask Mary sadly.
"You've gotten more than you wanted. Is that less?" insist Baron.
"Mother, don't talk about this again. Nora left this house this morning, I prepared everything. Dad already gave him a shophouse as a place of business. He can live independently, won't bother us,"
"You can take this matter for granted because you're men. Son and father make no difference" Mary got up from her seat and left the table. He went into the room and closed the door hard.
"Sorry, Dad. I want to calm mom. Don't worry, I'll take care of it, "Barent left the food and followed her mother to the room.
"I believe you" said the Baron. He let his stepson meet his mother.
"What a shame, what a reason he wants to rule my life" grumbled Baron. His appetite suddenly disappeared after one by one his friends at the dinner table left the place.
The baron also stood up from his seat. He did not follow Mary and her son in the room. The baron opted out of the house, he wanted to breathe fresh air on the side porch.
"Bik, bring me some water. I want to sit in the front," asked Baron to his house assistant who was preparing to clean the dining table.
"Well, sir," the fifty-year-old woman returned to the kitchen, preparing a drink for her master.
******
"Here you are, please," the woman placed a glass of water on the small table. He also served a serving of dragon fruit pudding to his master.
"What's this?" asked Baron a little surprised. He had not found the food since Lisha left him.
"Mister dragon fruit pudding, so I bought quite a lot of fruit. Master Inget really likes this pudding so I made it,"
"Sorry sir, maybe it doesn't feel as good as madam's. I used to see the lady make pudding and tried to make her own,"
"Hemmmm.
"Yes, bik. Leave it,"
"I see the master has not eaten, the rice is still intact. This pudding I brought to fill the stomach so as not to empty,"
"Yes, bik. Thank you," said the Baron again.
"Said madam, the dragon fruit can control blood sugar levels. The content of vitamin B3 is quite high in dragon fruit can prevent and overcome diabetes. That's why I always make dragon fruit juice for you, sir,"
"Forku?" ask Baron.
"Yes, which Mary often brought to the master's room at night. Since there was Miss Nora, Mr. Barent wouldn't let me make juice, because there was a ban from doctors,"
"Yes, bik. Thanks though.
"I'll excuse you, sir," he said again.
"Please" said the Baron gently. Even though Bik Sum was quite unkempt yet the Baron paid respect to this woman. He has been working in this house since he was single. There are many things this woman knows that the Baron may not have known.
"Dragon juice every night. Doctors don't drink juice?" The baron repeated his servant's words.
Ever since Lisha left, she had never found any juice on her desk. Moreover, the pudding that Lisha always made for him. How could Bik Sum talk like that?
"Hemm.... Does anything seem to be wrong? What's the secret between Barent and his mother?" baron whispers in the heart.
The baron grabbed a small bowl filled with two pieces of dragon fruit pudding that so evoked his taste. Slowly he scoops and bribes into his mouth. His heart suddenly so shredded. Each time, he managed to remember the face of his wife and son well
"Lisha," he whispered in his heart. The clear water suddenly descended from the corner of his eye.
