A Wounded Life
Chapter 9

One week later Arlla seemed excited today

"This. "call me.

"Yes madam" Ani said in front of me

"To ask Misa to cook Mas Gio's favorite meal today Mas Gio will go home" I said happily

"Good mistress" said Ani obediently then went to the kitchen

I walked out and met Mr. Budi

"Pak Budi clean the yard and garden house until clean" said I

"Each mistress" said Mr. Budi then run his activities

I walked up the stairs and into the room

I'm so happy today that Mas Gio is coming home

Three weeks I waited for her now my longing will soon be cured

My smile expands without fading in the morning

At nine, Gio was at the airport with Lela and Bryan

"We're going straight home now" Gio said

Bryan drives the car while Lela and Gio sit in the back

Surely at Lela's request to sit down with Gio

Forty-fifty minutes drive from the airport to Gio's house

Slowly the car entered the yard and on the porch of the house there was already Arlla waiting for his arrival

Making the guilt on Gio grow

Gio and Lela get down from the car while Bryan drops off Gio and Lela's belongings

The fluffy smile that I showed off from earlier is now gone for a moment but soon I returned smiling to welcome Gio

"Assalamualaikum Mas" I said as I hugged Gio tightly

My eyes looked at Lela in surprise but soon I was pattered

"Dear waalaikumsalam" said Mas Gio as he took off my arms

Gio kissed my forehead deep and long

"I miss" I said spoiled

"I miss you too" said Mas Gio then suddenly carrying me and entered the house

I feel happy being treated like this by Mas Gio

Slowly and heartily Mas Gio lowered himself on the living room sofa

"You sit down" said Mas Gio

Mas Gio sat down beside me while hugging my waist

Lela looked very dislikeful and I was able to catch it from the look on her face

"It's a shame that I want to talk to you about something" Mas Gio said seriously

My heart rate suddenly thumped

I looked into Mas Gio's eyes then looked at Lela and then Bryan

As if asking what this is but no one answered

If Mas Gio wanted to talk personal, there would be no Lela and Bryan here

But it's different it must have something to do with Lela and Bryan

For a moment I was negative but then I tried to think positively maybe this has something to do with work

Maybe the right is ordinary and not very important

But why is the look on Mas Gio's face so serious if it doesn't really matter

I called Ani

"Ani, "call me but there's no sign of Ani's arrival

Then I tried to call Nina

"Nina.." call me

"Well, what's wrong" said Nina

"Please make us a drink" I said trying to dampen the slightly hot and awkward atmosphere

Nina heads to the kitchen to make a drink

Five minutes later Nina came back with four glasses of tea and placed them in front of each of us

"Thank you" I said

"Nina" called me again making Nina's steps stop

"What's the matter madam" she asked

"I ask you, Ani, Misa and all the workers here to leave this house first" I said making Nina frown

I know what's on his mind right now

"Don't forget to close the gate" I said

"Ready man" said Nina obediently then left
