A GROAN OF FLICKERS IN THE NEXT ROOM
62

Slowly, Sarah began to walk out of her room to check what sound she had always heard in the side room. Sarah fearfully began to approach the door and stick her ear to listen to the moaning in the room next to her.

"Sad" Thought.

The clear voice he heard earlier was now gone and silent. Sarah began to ask in a mysterious voice earlier. Sarah started walking down the stairs and walked towards the kitchen because she heard a voice coming from that direction.

Sarah who was on the doorstep saw Bi Darsih who was currently cooking instant noodles, immediately approached her.

"What are the aunts doing?" ask the girl as if she doesn't know.

Bi Darsih turned to Sarah in surprise. The middle-aged woman began to calm herself down by patting her chest softly.

"Non Sarah just makes a surprise aunt" he said with a mouthful of breath.

"I'm sorry if I surprised auntie. But auntie's cooking noodles?" ask him again stale base.

"Yes, non papa. Aunt Hungry non-aunty cook noodles. Are you not hungry?"

Sarah nodded her head and began to sit on the table. The girl began to stare around the kitchen and tried to open a conversation with her maid. There was a slight feeling of unhappiness, but his strong curiosity was able to succumb to the fear in him.

"Bi, aren't you afraid to cook at this hour? besides this is bi night" said Sarah slowly.

The middle-aged woman simply smiled and began to serve a bowl of still-warm noodles. Two warm instant noodle bowls are now on the dining table.

"It's not eating first"

"Yes bi later" Sarah looked at Bi Darsih with a probing gaze.

"Don't look at rich aunt that's non. Aunt shy. Aunt will answer the non question. Aunty is not afraid to stay at home let alone cook in the kitchen alone even though it is late at night. Aunty's been living in this house before non-birth even when mom's non.."

"Before what mother bi?" ask Sarah to wonder.

"Emh ma.i mean bi.bibi is before non-married mother with master. Yes, before the madam marries the master"

Sarah who knew that her maid was hiding something finally started asking Bi Darsih a lot of questions.

"Well, before you married me, auntie was already a housekeeper here?"

"Yes.. Sure do. Aunty has been working with you for twenty years. Even when you were a teenager"

The middle-aged woman immediately ate instant noodles for fear of getting questions from her employer's son. He could slip and tell the secret that Danu and Ria had been hiding for a long time.

"Then, the room next to mine, whose room is it?" Sarah asked with a lookout.

Bi Darsih choked and coughed when she heard Sarah's question. During this time he and his master had not talked about Mary's room for a long time because Danu had buried deeply about her first daughter.

"Auntie drinks this first" Sarah who felt guilty, started giving Bi Darsih a cup of water.

"I'm sorry bi, for choking auntie" Sarah bowed her head.

"No papa non. Aunt is fine. Aunty just ate noodles too much to rush until the noodle soup made auntie choke. If auntie can figure it out, why don't you ask about the room?"

Sarah took a deep breath and began to tell the truth.

"There's a moaning sound in the room next door bi"
