The Will of Love

ch 13's. You're not a maid

"Yeahaaaaaa.....! Neng Meli dambaan kang Jaja, tau-tau already married."

Jaja cried while hugging her bolster pillow at the back door of the kitchen.

"Well, it's good, the marriage is the same sir. If you marry the same you have no future Ja." Say Bik Parni with ketus.

"Yeahaaaaaa..! Very bad aunt." Jaja still crying.

"Your dream is the height of Jaaaa, Ja...." Bik Parni. Then, he left Jaja alone in the kitchen.

After eating, Meli cleaned the dining table, then washed the dishes. While Aris had first entered into his room to rest.

After washing the dishes, Meli headed to her new room. There are already items and clothes of Mrs Retno in her closet.

On the dresser, a piece of paper was seen. Meli grabbed the paper, then she started reading it

Like the message from Almarhumah, all his belongings are now yours. Wear it as you please. I'll buy you a new one sometime. So please throw away all your worn out clothes. It is no longer worth wearing for this millennium.

Meli sighed for a moment after reading the message from Aris.

I put the paper back on the table. Then, he broke his tired body. The long journey made his body feel sore and sleepy. He fell asleep comfortably in a soft bed, which he had never felt before.

Early in the morning, Meli was tidy. In accordance with Aris's orders, Meli wears Retno's late house dress and discards all her clothes. Then, he came out of his room and rushed straight to the kitchen.

As usual routine, Meli immediately took the mop and bucket. Bik Parni who saw Meli will mop the floor, directly prohibit Meli.

"Noah, don't be angry."

Meli scrunched her forehead. Meli is still in disbelief, if Bik Parni calls her Madam.

"What Bik?" He asked, trying to ascertain what he had just heard.

"Don't swallow Nyah, you'll be angry."

Bik Parni repeated her words.

"Dad?" Ask Meli again.

 

"Yes, Madam."

Bik Parni looked at Meli clumsily.

"Yahaha....!"

Meli laughed out loud until tears came out in the corner of her beautiful eyes.

"Well, lady why are you laughing?" Asked Bik Parni who was confused to see Meli who was laughing out loud.

"Bik, don't call Madam, funny Bik, hahahahaha..!"

Meli laughed again.

"Well what should Bibik call?"

Bik Parni is getting confused.

"Obviously Bik, I keep Meli who usually.nothing has changed...."

Bik Parni is getting confused about what kind of behavior.

"Bik, Meli remains Neng who Bibik considers to be like his own child and Bibik remains his Bibik Neng who Neng considers as his own mother Neng."

Meli hugged tightly Bik Parni.

"So, Bibik still call Meli with the name Neng huh?"

Meli nodded while reclaiming the mop and bucket that Bik Parni had taken from her hand. Then, he went to the bathroom and poured the floor scented. And after that, Meli rushed to the living room to mop.

"Neng don't Neng, you will be angry. Duh, Bibik beg Neng."

Bik Parni keeps trying to prevent Meli. However, the girl did not care about Bik Parni's words. He went to the living room and started mopping there.

Aris came out of her room and headed towards the dining room for breakfast. At first glance he saw Meli who was mopping the floor wearing Retno's dress. Aris made sure once again what he was seeing.

Aris was surprised to see Meli who was cool mopping. Aris was angry, he approached Meli and grabbed the mop from Meli's hand violently.

"What are you doing!" His impact.

Meli was surprised to hear Aris yelling at her. Then, he dared to look at Aris.

"Sa-sa-I cu-cu-free mopping the floor Master." Meli stammered.

"From now on you don't do housework..!" Aris's orders.

"Ta-ta-but Sir..."

"Nothing but but, later I will order another maid from the foundation to help Bik Parni..!" Said Aris with a high tone of voice.

"But I'm confused about what Sir, I can't keep quiet."

"You I enrolled in college today.Your homework at home is just studying. Don't do anything else..! And one more thing, don't ever call me Sir..! Because you are not a maid..! gotcha?"

Aris slams the mop to the floor and leaves Meli still trembling from fearing him.

Aris walked out and got into his car. Because of his emotions, he undoes his intention for breakfast.

Irritated, he drove his car at high speed.

Meli cried, then picked up the mop from the floor and brought it back to the kitchen.

Meli hugging bik Parni. Jaja who also saw Aris angry to be sorry for Meli.

"Neng, be patient... Master is so because of dear Neng." Jaja.

Meli did not care about Jaja's words. Meli continued to cry because she really felt shock, because Aris was angry with her.

In the afternoon, Aris, who had just returned from his office, immediately met Meli in the girl's room. Aris opened the door without knocking first. Aris looked at Meli who was lying on the bed while reading a novel.

Seeing the presence of Aris, Meli immediately came down from her bed and stood before Aris by lowering her head.

"This is the best University brochure, you just choose the Faculty and what majors you will want."

Aris handed over a brochure to Meli.

"And this is a laptop for you to study and you can apply for college onlen. Later administration and others I take care of."

Aris hands over a new laptop to Meli.

"I-iya Mas."

"Oh yes, I'm sorry. I was angry this morning. I just kept my promise to Retno, to treat you well." Aris. Then, he came out of Meli's room.

Meli sat on the edge of her bed, then she noticed the laptop and brochure given by Aris. He was very excited, then he immediately opened the laptop and studied it.

He visited the website listed in the brochures provided by Aris. With enthusiasm, he tried to find out and choose the campus he would go to.

After he considered which campus he would choose, finally Meli decided to choose a private University and majored in Business Management.

After registering online, Meli closed her laptop. He smiled to himself imagining himself would soon become a student like his ideals so far.

Meli is eager to be proud of her parents. As the oldest child, he wants to succeed and can help his parents and siblings in Kampung.

Meli closed her eyes, she brought her hopes and dreams that night all the way to dreamland.

...

"Wake up.."

Meli squirmed and opened her eyes when she heard the sound that woke her up. He looked at Aris who was already standing beside the bed while looking at him with a cold gaze as usual.

"Let's learn to drive, so you can drive yourself." Said Aris as he moved away from Meli's room.

Meli who was not fully conscious, just kept quiet and looked at the back of Aris who was walking out of her room. Moments later, Meli realizes that Aris is waiting for her. Then, he got out of his bed and performed the morning prayer first before he met Aris who was waiting for him on the porch of the house.

"Why is it so long?" Said Aris without looking at Meli.

"I pray first Mas." Meli replied while bowing her head.

"From now on, if you talk to me, don't duck any more. I'm your husband, on par with you. Don't consider yourself a worker again in this house."

Meli ventured to look at Aris. Then she smiled sweetly showing off her dimples.

Seeing Meli smiling at him, now Aris who lowered her gaze.

"Come, leave..!" Aris.

Then, he took out Retno's car from the garage.

Aris takes Meli to the streets of her quiet residential complex. After that, he told Meli to drive the car.

Meli looked at Aris anxiously as she was behind the wheel of the car.

"How is it going?" Ask Meli, panic.

Patiently Aris taught the innocent girl how to drive.

Meli is smart, she immediately understands what is explained by Aris. Slowly the girl started to run the car carefully. Meli laughed cheerfully as the car walked slowly. He also mastered the steering well.

Aris, too, smiled satisfied when Meli had started to casually drive forward her car.

"What Retno said, this girl is able to learn quickly." Inner Aris while glancing at Meli who was focusing on paying attention to the road.

It was noon, and the two of them returned home.

Jaja who was trimming a bonsai in the front garden of the house saw Meli driving a car with Aris. Jaja terangah see the girl of his dreams now can drive a car.

"Huh.. surely Neng Meli later no longer need Jaja, Neng Meli already can drive his own car."

Jaja massaged his chest with a sad face. Then, he again pruned the bonsai with a worried heart.

"Ja, why are you so dumb?" Ask Bik Parni.

"Neng Meli no longer need Jaja Bik." Sahut Jaja while bowing down sadly.

"Neng Meli again, Neng Meli again, Ja... Ja.., is that in your brain all Neng Meli?" Said Bik Parni who looked annoyed.

"Yes, Bik, if the contents of Jaja Bik Parni mah's brain, Jaja must have escaped from here." Reply Jaja while picking up the scattered leaf litter.

"Indeed why should I run away if Bik Parni is in your mind Ja?" Ask Bik Parni curiously.

"Yes, because Jaja must be more depressed if Jaja always imagined Bik Parni throwing Jaja using a basin. Continuing to grumble is not clear and cruel as Jaja."

Bik Parni glared, while raising her broom and threatening Jaja."

"Bad you Ja...!"

Jaja laughed softly, then ran away with plastic trash in his hand.
