The Enchantment of Madam

Two Hours Only

Someone rubbed my shoulders, but these eyes were so sticky and lazy to open.

"Le, Lele, breakfast first." It sounded pretty clear the voice of the Gothic Mother called my name.

I opened my eyes slowly. Little by little the face of the Gothic Mbak looks more and more clear. He stood next to me with a smile. Now her lips are not as pale as last night even though she did not seem to be wearing lipstick this morning.

"Well, are you healthy?" I asked still with a hoarse voice and eyes that really still feel sore.

"Best, thanks, huh? You take care of me" she said with a beautiful smile. "Breakfast, yuk?" bring him.

"Gue take a shower first, Ma'am," I said then got up from the chair.

I walked towards the room next to the Gothic Mother's room. Really my body feels sore maybe because I sleep in a sitting position in a chair. I don't know, obviously my body is really bad.

Looking at the neat mattress and folded blanket looks so tempting and as if whispering; Sleep me, Le. Enter in the warmth of this thick and warm blanket.

Without thinking for a long time I immediately spread my body and closed my eyes.

"Ten minutes I slept well" I said, closing my eyes.

**

I don't know how long I slept until I finally woke up with hunting breath because I was shocked to see outside the rain and the blackened sky covered with thick clouds.

"God! Is it eleven?" My eyes are round when I see the clock.

It turned out that it was already noon, but it was not visible because the sun was covered by a thick, black cloud out of nowhere.

I decided to take a shower. Grab a short towel, then go inside the bathroom. The stomach rang in a rumble as I was soaping this body. Quickly I grabbed a towel and gushed in a t-shirt and shorts.

My days do prefer to wear casual clothes and this is one that makes me not feel at home who must always appear in official clothes/neat when out of the room.

"Wake up?" asked the Gothic ma'am as I opened the room door.

I smile.

"Eat first. It's lunchtime. I'm sorry, I didn't wake you up because I was afraid that you might be distracted" Ms. Gothic said.

I smiled and Mrs Gothic returned my smile which made my heart beat faster and made my body limp.

Madam Gothic went into her room and I went down the stairs for breakfast as well as lunch that I put together at this time.

"Just woke up, huh, Mas?" alda asked when I was steaming rice.

"Ho'o."

"Tumben until noon, Mas? Mas sick?"

"So. Last night I fell asleep in the Gothic nursery" I said, chewing and without seeing Alda's face.

"What's? What are you guys doing?" asked Alda who sounded surprised.

I stopped lunch, then looked in wonder at Alda.

"Repo!" answer me and go back to lunch.

There was no more words after Alda left the dining room. Sometimes there is a sense of wonder at Alda who is like jealousy when I am close to the Gothic Mother. I never gave her hope to be with me.

The bell rang as the rain began to subside slightly and Alda was seen walking quickly to the main hall door. Not long after he was seen climbing the stairs. Maybe a guest for the Gothic Mbak, but who?

The Gothic ma'am was seen descending the steps followed by Alda. However, they split up. Alda looks into the kitchen and the Gothic Sister looks into the living room. I who started cuek became kepo when I saw the reaction of the face of Gothic Mbak who looked serious. Not long ago Alda brought drinks and snacks in small jars to the living room.

What's actually going on?

Although I tried not to know, but the face of Mbak Gothic look sad and this is what makes me approach him.

I smiled at the two grown men in front of the Gothic Mother. They sat facing each other and were only blocked by the glass table.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Gothic Mother.

Gothic Ma'am looked at me fixedly and not long after he asked permission from his two male guests, then dragged my arm away from the living room.

"About?"

"Daddy's yacht is about to be removed."

"Well, why take it off?"

"For an injection of funds on his new business," replied Mbak Gothic who made me a little confused.

That fucked up, was it, Mr Bobby's business?

"I actually objected, but it's been Dad's decision and the money they've transferred. So they asked for the yacht's completeness to me," said Mrs Gothic sounding sad.

It was indeed an easy thing for me to buy one or even ten yachts like those of the Albern family, but for now I would not tell who I really was.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Maybe this has been Mr. Bobby's decision. Whatever the consequences, he must have considered it."

The Gothic ma'am is seen taking a deep breath and then exhaling it slowly.

"Alright," she answered, and then she walked into the room.

Not long ago Mother Gothic returned down the stairs with a file in the map of cream color in her hand. Although it looks heavy heart he gave the file to the buyer.

"But can I still see that cruise one last time?"

"Come, just to this day, huh? You are free to board the ship. Because tomorrow will be taken by the owner" explained one of the men.

After they left, they left a look of sadness on the face of Gothic Mbak.

"Will it cry?" ask me when I'm next to him.

Gothic ma'am shakes.

"I borrowed your shoulder, shall I?" ask the Gothic Sister with a shady highlight.

I patted my shoulder; "come here!"

Without a doubt the Gothic Sister had her head on this shoulder. There were no words from the lips of the Gothic Sister even though I really wanted her to talk. I don't know, I don't feel good when he's quiet. I better hear him nagging despite the risk my ears hurt.

Afternoon. When the sun almost slips in the contest leaves a very tempting orange color almost drowned in the open ocean. Me and Mbak Gothic are already in the harbor and greeted by a strong sea breeze.

"Good afternoon, Miss?" greet a man who is on the dock.

"Sore, Sir. I'm Zaskia, the early owner of this yacht before it was bought by your Master. I want to take this cruise for the last time before letting him sail to his new owner" said Mbak Gothic who sounded sad.

"Good, Miss. Please." The man gave us permission to sail this afternoon for about two hours and the ship had to return to this dock.

I clasped the fingers of the Gothic Mbak for a cruise.

The mentor has really slipped perfectly. Replacing with a moon that incised silver color illuminates the open sea.

I opened the grey slim fit suit I was wearing to cover the back of the Gothic Sister. We sailed and felt a strong sea breeze in front of the cruise ship.

"Why do you love me?" asked the Gothic Sister with astonished eyes. "You, aren't you allergic to cold, Le?" he continued with a close look.

"Mbak needs more. I'm just a cold allergy, not an allergy to Mommy's husband."

"Gee!" she's thin with cynical eyes when she looks at me and I like it.

As the night breeze gets colder, I just hope the cold gets stuck first because I still want to accompany Miss Gothic tonight.

Along the sailing ship we chatted quite intimately. Mr. Gothic began to want to be frank with me about his life and the disappointment he felt for his father for the unfair attitude of Mr. Bobby.

"What's? So, Mommy has a stepbrother?"

The Gothic ma'am nodded.
