The Love of the Helper

daily activities.

Tonight, Rangga could not think clearly. He was hurt, he was sad, because Arini and Davian were back together. He can't get Arini, but he hopes Arini can be good to him again.

Rangga went to the discotheque. He wants to calm himself. He sat at the bartender's desk alone. He enjoyed the cocktails provided by the bartender.

Rangga's mind drifted everywhere. Rangga thought that today would be the happiest day of his life, being together with Arini. Apparently, again Davian thwarted him, Davian arrived at the right time, disturbing the romantic atmosphere of Arini and himself.

Suddenly, Rangga saw Meliza serving some guests at this discotheque. Rangga was not sure it was Meliza, because Rangga was unconscious.

But, Rangga still thought, it was Meliza. He saw, Meliza became a waiter at the cafe and was being teased by the striped nose om-om.

"Isn't that Meliza? But, stupid shit. I don't give a shit. He's open my business."

Rangga continued to gulp the drink in front of him until it ran out until the bottles. Rangga continued to drink, without regard to his health. A few hours later, Rangga was unconscious. He's really drunk.

This morning, as usual Davian will go to work. Arini had prepared breakfast for her husband. Davian finished the bath, and immediately devoured the food that had been prepared by Arini.

"Well, my wife's fried rice. I miss the smell of this fried rice so much." said Davian.

"Specialty for my newly healed husband from his illness." Arini smiled.

"You know what? When you were in the village, I always ate Bi Lilis's food, but I didn't like the fried rice. Have you poisoned my tongue? Until I just want to eat the food you made!" Davian.

"MAS! It's weird! How could I have done that. Noo!" argue Arini.

"You are poison to me, Arini."

"What poison, what a hell!" Arini's upset.

"The poison of love, in my heart, eaaaaaaaaa!"

"So, weirdo! Oh, is it Mas? My job is there, how? When am I gonna go back there?" ask Arini.

"You don't have to work there anymore. I've decided everything." Davian replied.

"But, Mas? Oh, how is that?" Arini pouting.

"You're working too. Work for me, serve me, don't you think? Work, work for what works. What salary do you want? I can give you a monthly salary! Want 10 million a month? A month 50 million? Or 100 million? I can give it to you. I can pay you more than the most expensive health agency in Indonesia" said Davian.

"Loh, Mas Davi, listen to me! When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor. I always play doctor with Mita. I like it, I love living it. When I was older, I realized. That, the profession of a doctor is very beneficial, not just measured by money. I want to be a doctor, not entirely about money. I want to, dedicate myself, be more useful to this nation and country, by being a health expert who can prosper its people to heal and live healthy. Am I wrong, Mom? Didn't Mas say at the time that he would allow me to become a doctor here?" said Arini.

"Why are you tired of taking care of the sick! Besides, I'm already rich, I can give you money, without you having to tire of working like that." Davian replied.

"Mas, please. Allow me!" Arini pleads.

"Why are you always forcing?" ask Davian.

"I want to have activities. I'm bored, I want to work." Pinta Arini.

"Do you want to have activities?" ask Davian.

"Of course, Mas. I'm bored at home, I just want to work."

"Yes, come on, let's do something for you" Davian said, taking Arini to bed.

"Activity? In bed? What do you mean, Mas?" Arini doesn't understand.

"We do things for you in this bed" Davian said.

"Yes, we make love every morning at dawn. That said, it will speed up the egg to meet the cell ******."

"Where is this conversation going, Mas?" Arini doesn't understand a bit.

"You are less clever. You don't deserve to be an entrepreneur like me. It's just that you don't understand. What if you manage the company? Your brain is not up to my words. My words seem too genius, you won't be able to match them." Davian's in the wind again.

"MAS! I'm smart too! Don't be so reckless! You're not a genius, you're too convoluted! Like this word, there is a straight path to my house, but you turn right and go round and round, so it makes me dizzy!" Arini's upset.

"So gini you know my love, my love, my eyes, we just do the activity regularly, every morning we do when we wake up, until we produce results. It'll get my sperm into your egg, and it'll be a fetus. Right it? That means you're going to get pregnant, right? Well, when you've given birth, we have a child right? Well, that kid we have to take care of, right? Here is where your activities are! Your activities are to take care of the child. So, do not ask to work with an alibi doing activities. Just make love to me! It will also be an activity for you! To care for and love my son. It's noon, it's already noon! I talk to you too much. Don't work, just work for me! Understood?"

Davian kisses Arini's forehead, then carries her bag and leaves Arini alone. Arini did not understand Davian's words.

What the hell does that mean? A kid? He asked me to give him a child? Didn't he? And that, my son will he make my daily activities, right? Oh, naw. Why doesn't Mas Davian let me work? I have high hopes of becoming a doctor.

"Mas, Wait! Wait for me!"

Arini is called by Mama and Papa Davian. Arini immediately approached them.

"Arini, do you want to come with Mama?" ask Mama Davian.

"Where, Ma?"

"To the Arkan house. Mama listen, Aunt Meisya is sick. Meliza ran away, and your father felt sorry for his little sister. So, we'll go see him. Wanna come? Take it easy, Mama make sure nothing strange happens to you" said Mama Davian.

"But, Arin has not yet licensed Mas Davi, Ma" Arini said.

"Yes, let your husband know. Mama will be ready. If Davian allows, get ready, we're leaving soon."

"Okay, Ma." answered Arini.

Arini was actually lazy to meet the magician. But, hearing the word sick, makes Arini not heart too. Arini tried to contact Davian.

[Mas, I'm taking Mama to Arkan's house. Said Mama, Aunt Meisya is sick.]

[People like to be visited. Wasting time!]

[Mas, it can't be. Would you allow me not?]

[I'm letting you go. As long as the secretary Dika,]

[Alright, get him home now.]

[Yes, my dear Arini. Be careful, if they do you any more bad, call me immediately.]

[Of course, Mama.]

At ten in the morning, Rangga just realized. He's drunk, his head is so dizzy, he really doesn't understand what happened to him last night. Suddenly, he looked around him, a very narrow boarding room. Rangga does not know this place at all.

"Where am I? Who took me to a shanty place like this?"
