“You make a drink for Mr. Wira and Ms. Haifa,” Maya said.

“Good, Ma'am,” replied Aida.

Without wasting a long time Aida immediately made a drink. When he finished he brought to the room of the hero. Maya helps open the door to the room. When Aida entered the room, Wira was talking to her guest. Aida seemed to know the voice of the guest. When Aida put a drink on the table, the hero immediately protested.

“His guest's cigarette is made tea, not made coffee?” reprimand Wira.

“Mbak Maya told her to make tea,” replied Aida.

“Teh is fine too. Thank you, yes,” said Firas.

“Why, Da?” ask Maya wonder.

“Pak Wira wants her guests to make coffee instead of tea,” replied Aida.

“Usually Mr. Wira never protested if his guests were given tea,” Maya said.

“I don't know either, Ma'am,” replied Aida while shrugging her shoulders.

***

It didn't feel like Aida's been working with Firas for a month. Aida does all her work sincerely considering the large costs incurred by Firas for Maira's treatment. Actually Aida still has savings in the bank to replace Firas' money. It's just that Aida doesn't want to use it because it's money just in case he needs a lot of money at any time.

Today as usual Firas came to pick up to go to Firas' house. On the road Firas stopped briefly at a shophouse.

“Wait a minute. I want to go to the ATM first,” Firas said.

Firas got out of his car and headed to the ATM in the shophouse. Soon after, Firas returned. Firas takes out a brown envelope from his pants pocket and gives it to Aida.

“This is your salary as long as you clean my house,” Firas said.

“Not necessary, Sir. Father has helped me a lot,” Aida refused to accept the gift of Firas.

Firas held Aida's wrist and placed the envelope on Aida's palm.

“Receive this money.it's your right because it helped me. Don't make me a zolim person for not giving my employees rights,” said Firas.

Aida breathed. He also received money from Firas. But without opening it, Aida gives the envelope back to Firas.

“I want to install Maira hospital payment,” said Aida.

“No need, I sincerely pay it. Maira's son was dumped by both of his parents. It's appropriate that I help him,” Firas said.

Aida was moved to hear it. Firas was right, he had no right to obstruct if anyone wanted to provide assistance to Maira.

They continue their journey.

“Maira, what breakfast do you want?” ask Firas while focusing on driving the car.

Maira did not answer Firas's question. He was engrossed with toys that pulled over on the dashboard of the car. Firas accidentally sticks a decoration on his car dashboard for Maira's toys. So that the child is a henchman while in the car.

“Maira, asked the same Om Firas,” said Aida while rubbing Maira's hair.

Maira turned to Aida.

“Napa, Mama?” ask Maira.

“Bonded Om Firas, tu,” replied Aida.

Maira turned to Firas.

“Napa, Om?” ask Maira.

“Maira want breakfast what?” ask Firas.

“Mala au bubuy chicken,” Maira replied.

“OK if you want chicken porridge,” says Firas.

“What do you want?” ask Firas.

“So much Father only,” replied Aida.

“I want rice uduk. Long time no rice uduk,” said Firas.

Firas turned to Aida.

“Mau, Sir,” Aida replied.

“OK, we find a rice seller sitting next to the chicken porridge,” said Firas.

Firas drove his car while looking for a rice-seated seller and chicken porridge.

“Ah, finally met,” says Firas.

Firas parked his car.

“Eating here , is okay right?” ask Firas to Aida.

“Yes, it's okay,” replied Aida.

“Ayo Maira, we have breakfast first,” Firas said.

They got out of the car to the rice seller.

“Bang, rice uduk komplit two,” said Firas to rice seller.

After that Firas to the chicken porridge seller.

“Bang, half the porridge. Do not use peanuts and chili. Anterin to place rice uduk, yes Bang,” said Firas to a porridge seller.

“Good, Mas,” replied the porridge seller.

When Firas returned to the place where the rice sat, there were already two rice dishes sitting on the table.

“Kok, not eaten yet?” ask Firas.

“Awaits Father,” Aida replied.

“Let's eat. I'm hungry,” Firas said.

Then they ate the rice.

“Pak, chicken porridge,” chicken porridge seller deliver his order.

“Thank you,” said Firas.

“Maira, this is the chicken porridge,” Firas gives the chicken porridge to Aida.

Aida feeds Maira while eating.

After breakfast, they continued their journey to Firas' house. They finally reached Firas' house.

“Campe, deh,” said Maira when Firas stopped in front of her house.

“You have memorized the house, Om,” said Firas while wiping Maira's hair.

Firas got out of the car and opened the gate of his house, then put his car into his yard. Then re-wrap the gate of his house.

Aida gets ready to clean the house but before starting her job Aida wants to make a drink for Firas.

“What do you want to drink?” ask Aida.

“Copy only,” Firas replied.

Aida makes coffee for Firas. After giving coffee to Firas Aida started working on cleaning Firas' house.

As long as Aida cleans the house Maira plays in the backyard. The toddler was very happy playing in the backyard. He was chasing butterflies. Jumping about to catch a bird or follow a frog from behind. The toddler was not afraid of the beast repel, in contrast to the Mamahnya who was very disgusted with the beast reptile.

Firas sat on the terrace watching Maira who was playing. Suddenly Firas felt hungry in his stomach.

“Maira,” Firas calling Maira.

Maira turned to Firas.

“Sini. Speaking of Maira,” said Firas.

Maira approached Firas.

“What time?” ask Maira.

“We go to mini market, yuk. Om want to snack,” says Firas.

“Mala boyeh beyi ekim?’ ask Maira.

“Bby. Maira can buy ice cream,” Firas replied.

“Now to Mamah, wash hands and feet,” Firas said.

Maira immediately approached her mother who was wiping the glass.

“Mamah, au tuti ngangan and tati,” said Maira.

“Maira has played it?’ ask Aida.

“Mala au beyi ekim cama Om,” replied Maira.

Aida looked at Firas.

“Mau snacks to mini market,” says Firas.

“Come to the bathroom,” invite Aida.

After clean Maira and Firas went to the mini market. Because the mini market is quite far from Firas' house, forced to take a car.
