Mbok Jum went into the room and went straight to the bathroom, followed by Jonathan who was curious.
There was a sound of water pouring out of the bathroom, it seemed like Mbok Jum was cleaning something there.
Before long Jonathan came out of the bathroom and asked Hanum who was still standing motionless in his place, "You were??" Hanum nodded fretfully, his hand squeezing the nightgown repeatedly.
"What are you shaving, how much??" jonathan asked again, widening his eyes, scanning Hanum's body from top to bottom.
Hanum felt very embarrassed to be asked like that, in front of Alex and Mama who were also waiting for her answer. He just kept his head down, letting them answer themselves according to their own minds.
"It's clean, den. Please take a shower" said Mbok Jum.
"What hair, Mbok?" mama asked Alex quietly, but still heard by Hanum.
"There are clogged hairs in the sewer of the bathub," replied Mbok Jum along with whispering.
Mama Alex's mouth gaped at Mbok Jum's answer. He was so amazed about what Hanum shaved until it clogged the sewer.
"Where are you going, Lex?" mama asked to see her eldest son come out of the room, carrying a bag of clothes.
"Sleep in the hotel" Alex said briefly.
"Loh, why?" ask her mother again.
"What's wrong?" Alex gave the code with his head.
"Sa-maya .. return to boarding," replied Hanum lirih. She understood now that she was not wanted by her husband either.
If only both his parents and Alex's sister refused he could still survive, but if Alex was uncomfortable with his presence, for what else he was there.
"Good," said Alex lightly. Hanum's face grew grim at the reply of the man who had been his idol since school.
"Mba Hanum slept with me. It's too bad to go home." Mbok Jum again became the goddess of Hanum's help.
"Yes, Mbok." Hanum was as quick as lightning tidying up all his things. He wanted to get out of the room immediately, and avoid the gaze of the eyes that looked at him with various expressions.
...❤...
"My room is small, Mba. Ga what yes, rather than going home malem-malem," said Mbok Jum when they both were in a room size 4x4 owned by Mbok Jum.
Hanum looked around Mbok Jum's room, actually this room was much nicer and spacious than his boarding room.
"Sorry to bother, Mbok." Hanum sat on the edge of the bed. Her tears that had been in her seat had seeped down her cheeks.
He felt very stupid and dreamed too high. In order to reach the man of his dreams, he became reckless and now he has to bear the consequences.
Tonight may be the first night and the last night to be Alexander's wife. It is sad and also embarrassing, she is a forced bride to marry.
"Mba Hanum hasn't eaten yet?" Hanum looked up, he saw Mbok Jum thrusting a plate of rice filled with side dishes and a glass of water.
"Thank you, Mbok." Hanum was deeply moved by the kindness of Mr. Beni's housemaid.
From the beginning he entered into this mansion, Mbok Jum is like a helper goddess for him.
"Eat first, get sick later. If you're sick, you can't serve your husband's needs tomorrow." Mbok Jum's remarks made him feel amused.
"Tomorrow I've been on the chopper, Mbok. Tomorrow I'll be a widow." Hanum slightly chuckled at hearing his own sentence.
"Ga good ugly talk. That's the name of praying, it is not certain to happen," said Mbok Jum while tidying up his bed.
"I know myself" said Hanum slowly, as he fed a spoonful of rice with a sore heart.
"Serving how Mbok is, people are disgusted to see me. It's stupid of me, dreams of heights." Hanum hit his head.
"Have ... already, eat it cepet spent, continue to go straight to sleep. Tomorrow Mbok tells Mba Hanum what to do."
...❤...
The next morning after dawn prayers, Hanum immediately took a shower and went to the kitchen along with Mbok Jum.
Mbok Jum tells all the habits and favorite foods of Alex and his family.
"Den Alex is the same Mom if you like to drink warm tea without sugar. I love black coffee, if Jo likes coffee mixed with milk." Hanum began making drinks for the Alex family as directed by Mbok Jum.
"Breakfast in the morning, don't like heavy. What is on the table, must be eaten. Mr. Beni's family is actually good, Mba. It's just a unique person." Mbok Jum chuckled to himself.
"What are we doing now, Mbok?" ask Hanum. Actually, for Hanum's kitchen affairs are quite expert, he was raised in an orphanage to make Hanum accustomed to living independently.
"Fried rice, can you?"
"Can," said Hanum spirit.
Hanum started fighting with war supplies in the kitchen. He tried to make his best fried rice, knowing this was the last breakfast he made for the man he loved.
"Enak, Mba," praised Mbok Jum when tasting fried rice made by Hanum.
"Really, Mbok? it's not just for me, is it?"
"Take a shot. Hopefully den Alex likes the same made by Mba Hanum. Take it to the dinner table." There were already sounds coming from the dining room.
"Just take it, I'm here" Hanum said. He felt unprepared to meet Alex's family after last night's incident. He was afraid that this morning, Alex said the word talak to him.
"Yes, Mbok brought it. Mba Hanum breakfast first yes," said Mbok Jum understandably.
Several times Mbok Jum came in and out between the kitchen and dining room. Actually he felt bad, but he lost with his fear.
"Mom, tomorrow for something like this." Mr. Beni's voice sounded from the direction of the dining room.
"Yes, good Mbok there is savory, use butter huh?" this time, Bu Devi's voice was heard praising.
"Definitely Mbok Jum look yutub yaa," jonathan's voice and laughter sounded seductive. Hanum sharpened his hearing, waiting for the most awaited sound.
"It's not me who makes it, it's the one that cooks all Mba Hanum," said Mbok Jum. Hanum's chest seemed to stop beating waiting for the reaction of the Alex family, especially the reaction of the man who was still legitimately her husband.
"Hanum?? where's dia? I forgot that there was a woman in the house" said Ms Devi.
"It's in the kitchen, it's breakfast again." Silent a moment ago there were prickly shoes from the dining room, but Hanum could not clearly hear what they were talking about.
Before long, Mbok Jum went into the kitchen and Hanum immediately flocked him with questions.
"Where, Mbok?"
"Alex has breakfast, right? how could I not hear his voice?"
"What did they say?, I can't get out of here."
"Ceritain, dong Mbok." Hanum shook Mbok Jum's hand.
"What's curious?" mbok Jum Goda.
