The Stupid Shaft

IN THE END

Water drops were warm on Sarah's cheek. The woman could not help but see her two hearts laughing and sharing.

Deta and her sister, Dito. They didn't realize that Sarah's mom had been watching them since.

Sarah wiped her tears. "You see how lucky you are. Your two children can even forgive you easily, but you are never satisfied. If it wasn't for Deta I wouldn't have accepted Dania." Sarah spoke in a slightly whispered voice. Afraid of being heard by Deta and Dito.

Sarah turned around to go back to her room. And it turns out that Mr. Danang was also watching his two children not far from where Sarah's mother stood.

***

"You're not going to the office, Boy?"

The first question Mr. Firman asked was to see his son come out of the room and just wear casual clothes.

"Ricky's on leave, Pa." Ricky drank his milk and took a piece of bread.

"Good!!!" Mr. Firman looks very excited.

Ricky who saw it then looked at Rika's mom asking for an explanation. However, Miss Rika just shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"Because you're free, how about you help Papa in the office, hemm?"

Ricky frowned and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Can't, Pa."

"What's up, Boy? Do you have any appointments with anyone?" Mr. Firman looks very disappointed.

"Yes, Pa," Ricky continued to chew his food as he glanced at the clock on the wall.

'Why hasn't he come yet? Don't let my leave be in vain.'

"What time?" ask Mr. Word with a slightly different tone than before.

"What, Pa?"

"Promise with others." Mr. Firman sipped the last gulp of coffee in his glass.

"Oh, don't know yet, Pa." replied Ricky casually but implied disappointment in his words.

Bu Rica watched Ricky carefully without a sound.

"Yes, you come with Papa to the office. Papa promised at lunch you'd be home." Mr. Firman raised both eyebrows.

Ricky looked at his father who was warmly stared at by Mr. Word. But then Ricky shook his head.

"You said you were ready to help Papa in the office. Help your old Father." Mr. Word is trying to get Ricky's attention.

Actually Ricky also did not have the heart to see his father manage the company alone. But Ricky feels he doesn't deserve to replace his father leading the company.

Ricky looked at Rika and Mr. Firman in turn. Looked like Rika smiled and nodded.

"Alright, Pa, just until lunch."

Mr. Firman pointed his thumbs in front of Ricky.

***

As always , every morning Deta is very busy preparing this and that.

"Dania's? Dania?" Deta screams for the figure of Dania.

Deta rushes to the kitchen, thinking Dania might be there helping her mother.

"Ma, look Dania isn't?" Deta approached her mother who was cooking.

"No."

"Where is Dania, Ma? Is it still in her room?" Deta continued to speak without noticing her mother's face.

"No idea, Deta!" snapped Sarah's mother could no longer bear the anger in her chest.

"Ma ... What's wrong?" Deta touched his mother's hand.

"There's nothing, brother." Miss Sarah let go of Deta's hand.

'Mama is still like that. Looks like Dania hasn't earned a place entirely in mama's heart.'

***

"Ma, Ricky's leaving, yeah." Ricky said goodbye to Rika.

Ricky decided to join his father to the office after going through several debates with the father.

"Don't be long, yeah, Pa."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Before lunch I'm back." Mr. Firman seemed to be thinking.

"After lunch, Deal?"

Mr. Word extended his hand. Ricky just looked at his father's hand.

"Pa ... don't try to take advantage of me huh!" Ricky squinted his eyes.

"Gosh, Boy! It was as if I was bargaining for fish in the market. Hahaha ..." laughter sir Firman.

***

In the schoolyard, Deta kept looking at Dania who was walking towards her class.

How unfortunate the fate of the little girl was. No one wants him. All the mistakes come from him.

Again, Deta's tears fell free from her eyes.

Deta hated herself like this. Fragile and helpless. He must be strong for Dania. Deta knows very well that Dania has a name and a place in the Riady family just because of her.

***

"Good morning, Mom." Deta said hello to Rika who just got out of the car.

"You're here, Ta?" Bu Rica looked at Deta in wonder.

"Yes, ma'am, Dania asked between earlier."

"Oh, like that," Rika smiled.

'You made my son wait.'

***

The shadow of Rika's eye gaze kept on flashed in Deta's mind . He felt Rika's eyes on him a little different.

But it was directly tepis by Deta.

"Maybe it's because I'm late" muttered Deta trying to drive away her curiosity.

Today's work is not too much. All the rooms look clean and tidy. What pleased Deta most was the absence of an earthquake in Ricky's bedroom.

By lunchtime, almost all of Deta's work was done.

Deta wiped her sweat and sat leaning on the kitchen floor.

I heard someone walking in and it looked like they were going to the kitchen.

"Who is that?" Deta whispered to himself.

"It's not time for Rika to go home yet." Deta muttered but kept her ears to make sure who was coming.

Silent.

'Did I hear wrong?' Inner Deta.

Suddenly there was a sound of laughter that made Deta jump.

Hahahahhaha...

"Who is that? Is it Mr Firman?"

Deta ventured to check it out. It turns out to be true, indeed Mr. Word was sitting there with someone.

But baby, Deta can't see who's with Mr. Firman. Because the man's sitting position is turned back to Deta.

Because it makes sure that things are safe. Reta returned to the kitchen and finished her work.

"Ma, please make me drink!"

The voice of someone from the front was heard by Deta. Without waiting for the order Deta immediately made him drink to the man.

As soon as he arrived at the dining room, Deta saw a tall and handsome man sitting with a very serious face while staring at his laptop. And the aura of the young master was clearly visible in him.

'Was he the one who asked to be made to drink?' ask Deta in your heart.

Deta hesitated.

"Excuse me, sir, here's the drink." Deta placed a glass of cold drink on the left side of the man.

Without waiting for a reply Deta immediately turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Deta's hands are sweating. She's very nervous. Deta realized something. That guy was Ricky Sanjaya. The man she wanted to see.

'He was no different from the other young masters. Cold and haughty. Does he not recognize me?'

Deta patted both cheeks.

"Come, Deta! He doesn't even realize your existence. Don't dream he'll be staring at you!!!" Deta swallowed with great difficulty.

"Dream!!! I love your dreams."

Deta turned her head and saw someone was looking at her from the doorway.
