Feeling someone was watching, Ardy turned his head. “What's up, Dek?” asked Ardy to tease the sister. Nola smiled. “Told Mama breakfast first, Brother,” she replied. Ardy raised his eyebrows.
The usual!
“Iya, a minute yes, Princess. Slave finish first school textbook,” replied Ardy while getting up from the seat. “Biarin aja, Brother. Kan, there is this Mbok who will finish,”, said Nola a little protest.
“Huss, that Mbok, right, has a lot of work. This is my own job, anyway. If you can do it yourself, why should you ask others for help?” reply Ardy.
“Kakak always ngebela him. Bodo, ouch! Nola wants breakfast first,” exclaimed Nola as it passed. Ardy shook his head at his sister's attitude. “Nola ... Nola ... when, anyway, do you want to change, Dek?” muttered Ardy alone. Of course, it won't sound Nola.
In the dining room there was a loud voice of Mama, like she was yelling. Ardy rushed out of the room. Justright. Mama is scolding the Mbok.
The old woman could only be silent. He bowed without daring to speak a word.
Ardy. “Ma .... “ Ardy interrupts. “What? You want this Old Bangka Belain again?” mama asked with her eyes full of anger.
“Sorry, Mom. Ardy is not willing to defend the Mbok, but want to explain something.“
“What's clear? You want to find a maid to replace him, huh?” ask Mama again while pointing her index finger at the Mbok.
Ardy glanced at the old woman. Still weak. There were tears falling down her cheeks.
After taking a deep breath, Ardy continued talking, “This is all Ardy's fault, Ma.”
“What mistake? What does this have to do with rotten food?” mama's question showed me where the rice she was holding. “So morning, Ardy told Mbok to take a warm bath. Maybe because--”
“No, Mistress. Not so,“ the Mbok cut talk. Hurriedly Ardy immediately responded, “Already, Mbok. No need to extend it again. There's still work in the kitchen, right? Better Mbok finish first that task huh?” sahut Ardy did not want the Mbok to tell the truth was Fajr.
“Lying, Mom. Ardy didn't tell Mbok the water. Precisely the one who cooked in the kitchen this morning, Brother Ardy, Ma. Keep the Mbok nice to sleep in his room,” said Nola surprised Ardy and the Mbok.
Mama aghast. “It does, Ardy?” ask Mama, getting louder.
Ardy. Don't know what to say. While the face of the Mbok was pale. Terrified. Worried that his master would do something undesirable. “No, Ma. Absolutely not," said the young man. "Nola, you don't like to lie!"
Nola laughed mockingly. “Whose lie is it? Nola or Brother by yourself?”
“Truly embarrassing! You shouldn't do that, Ardy!” sahut Mama fierce. If Mama had behaved like that, no one would dare to speak up.
“What's this early in the morning, how come, it's been a storm?” ask Papa who has just come between them. “This, you know, Pa. Si Ardy has dared to do something embarrassing,” shootout Mama while looking sharp Ardy and the Mbok, “From now on, we have to keep an eye on this child. Don't hang out with that stupid maid!”
Appetite was lost because of the incident this morning. While the Mbok is still standing in its original place. He did not dare to leave before his master told him to leave. “Already. Mbok returned to the kitchen again, yes,” Ardy said slowly.
Si Mbok looked at the look in Mama's eyes which were still covered in anger. “Yes, it's there! I'm sick of your old face!” sahut Mom ketus. Finally the mbok soon passed from there.
“True ... You did that, Dy? Honestly!” Papa started talking between breakfasts in the morning. Ardy took a breath. Feels clumsy in the chest. “Ya, Pa,” replied Ardy slowly.
“Why did you lie earlier?” Mama asked in a cynical tone. Ardy didn't answer. Feeling bad about the situation of the Mbok.
“Ma, Pa, Ardy to the kitchen first, yes?” pamit Ardy while moving without answering the question Mama earlier.
“Jawab first question Mama!”
Ardy doesn't care.
“See, Pa! The boy had dared to act like that to Mama! You bastard!” mama ketus.
“Ma, don't talk carelessly. Remember our agreement first,” Papa reminded Mama. “Stupid by that crazy deal, Pa! I'm sick of that kid!” mumble Mama growled.
“Patience first. Later also when it's time, we can enjoy everything without the child, right?” papa's voice is getting slower. As if worried heard by Ardy or Nola himself who sat not far from the two of them.
“What agreement, anyway, Ma? Pa?” ask Nola suddenly. Mom and Dad were jerking. The two looked at each other.
“Do not ask much. Just finish your breakfast. We are too late, nih,” said Papa as if to avoid Nola's question earlier.
“Too many secrets in this house!” seloroh Nola ketus's.
Mama and Papa hurriedly finished breakfast. While Ardy who had gone to the kitchen, met the Mbok who was sitting alone. The old woman looked sad. Ardy. He was sad to see the old man. “I'm sorry for this incident, Mbok. Because of me, Mama became angry and Mbok was hit by a target. Forgive my parents, yes, Mbok,“ said Ardy while rubbing the shoulder Mbok. The old woman looked.
“Endak, Aden is completely innocent and there is no need to apologize to Mbok. It's all Mbok's fault until Aden comes scolded by Madam,” replied the Mbok wiping his tears. “I'm guilty, Mbok. I hope, Mbok did not care too much about what Mama said earlier, huh? Be patient, I promise, as long as I am in this house, I will always try to protect the Mbok,”, Ardy said later.
“Do not, Den. Don't do that. Later Mr and Madam will be even more angry with Aden. Let this suffering, Mbok himself felt, Den.” The mbok suddenly felt worried. “No, Mbok. I mean it, really, with my words.”
“Do not do that, Den.”
“Mbok don't worry. I can take care of myself, kok,” said Ardy steady. “Once, I felt that between me and Mbok, it was like a very tight bond. But I don't know what I feel like? It's not just pity or anything. But--“
“Do not, Den. Aden don't have that kind of taste. Aden and Mbok have no family or relationship whatsoever. Ndak should have Aden happen like that to the Mbok. Aden is a descendant of a respectable and highly respected family. While the Mbok, only an old maid who has nothing. Mbok is trying to stay patient and stay in this family, because Mbok does not have a place to leave this body. The Mbok family is all gone,“ said the Mbok lirih.
