Aksa The Genius
It's Over Graciel...
..."🌱"...
The atmosphere became quiet at the dining table, Graciel looked at Edwin with a serious look, usually his master never spoke this important with him. He did not know what his master was going to talk about but it was visible from Edwin's face that looked quite serious.
"What do you want to talk about?" Ask Graciel
When asking this, there was a voice from below Aksa who seemed to have finished carrying out his duties to invite Mr. Sani to eat. Edwin was silent and did not answer Graciel's question like he did not want Aksa to listen to her words to Graciel. Although Aksa was a child but it was not appropriate to preach the gospel in front of him. Aksa re-entered the dining room inside which Graciel and Edwin were waiting for him.
Mr. Sani also followed to the dining room later after he finished cleaning Edwin's car. Aksa looked at her father's face as if she was holding something to say and saw Graciel's pretty serious face staring at her.
"Emm.. is something wrong.?" Aksa asked the two of them
Edwin shook his head and said to Aksa.
"No boy, here continue to eat with dad, Mr Sani where is it not with Aksa?" Edwin asked who shifted the question.
"Said Mr. Sani later followed the meal after finishing cleaning the car." Aksa.
"Well let's eat first, this is made by Graciel must be good, right Aksa?." Ask Edwin
"Obviously Graciel the best anyway." Reply Aksa
Then they ate together happily and laughed happily as they ate it together. Aksa sees them as a family, Graciel as his mother and Edwin as his father. They are just as kind to Aksa, they are also concerned with Aksa's condition. This makes him grateful to be born in a family that has more concern for him and sufficiency about property.

The food they ate together finally ran out, the rest of some side dishes that were deliberately left for Mr. Sani who had not finished washing Edwin's car.
"Aksa, it's full now is the time to learn, baby." Edwin's orders to Aksa.
"Whoever, Brother Graciel temenin me yes, no fun if you study alone" Pinta Aksa
"Well Aksa, let's go with brother." Graciel
"Sister Graciel biarin here first yes Aksa, Aksa will be big and smart to learn alone." Said Edwin who stopped Graciel.
"Okay dad, I learned to be alone." Aksa said in a sad tone.
"Don't be sad Aksa later if you're done, brother follows." Reply Graciel
("Definitely I'll talk something important to Graciel's sister, since they're just talking together, I think I should eavesdrop.") Aksa muttered in his Heart.
"Pad's kid's chip is smart." Reply Edwin
Aksa stepped out of the dining room and left Graciel and Edwin both in the room. When he arrived outside the room, Aksa stopped near a wall not far from the dining room. The goal is that Aksa can listen to their chatter that should not be heard by anyone including Aksa. The chat that will be discussed seems to be more serious than the chat that Edwin usually talks to Graciel.
"Graciel.. Now that you are 30 years old, you have faithfully become a nanny in our family, the Klause family. I have to take care of Aksa since my wife's departure..." Edwin opened the conversation.
Graciel simply bowed her head and listened to her master's words with great seriousness.
"I am not wrong in choosing you to be my confidant in taking care of Aksa, Your work is done very well, until Aksa grew up to be a smart child. His smile that was once lost due to losing his mother figure, thanks to you the smile returned to him. Thank you for being the nanny in our family, do you feel like our family is too much trouble for you? please Graciel answered honestly." Ask Edwin
"That's it, sir.." Graciel said as she nodded
"I am actually happy and lucky to be present in Klause's extended family. I was able to learn what the real family meant, and the presence of Aksa considered me a part of the family. I took care of Aksa until now since the departure of her mother, so I learned some of her feelings. He's a strong and pretty great kid, it seems like without me foster it seems like he would indeed remain a smart and talented kid." Graciel.
Edwin smiled at Graciel's words, as well as Aksa who listened to Graciel's answer from behind the wall near the dining room. But it doesn't seem to be at the core of this evening talk in the dining room. Edwin changed his face to be more serious. Looks like the core conversation is just about to begin.
"Sorry before Graciel, we go straight to the core of the discussion. Actually the purpose I called you here is to...." Edwin said that he suddenly stopped
"For? What's it for, sir?" Ask Graciel to Edwin.
"Huff" Edwin's voice sighed.
"Restrain you from this task and lay you off forever from the Klause family." Edwin.
The state of the food room was silent for a moment, the bright lights continued to illuminate the two of them below. Graciel did not say a word to answer his master's words. His heart seemed to be broken at once hearing the words of the Klause family leader. He never expected Edwin to say that to him.
Aksa who listened instantly understood the meaning of Edwin's words. Aksa's listening heart is shattered when she finds out that the nanny she thinks is like her own family was removed from Klause's family home. He also did not believe the words of his father who could bring out his nanny.
Wreaths of tears came out from Graciel's eyes, the sound of crying slowly emerging out of his mouth. Edwin who saw it like he could not bear, the nanny he trusted for five years more had to be expelled by him.
"A-there's a reason sir why I got fired? Sorry if my work is not good, sorry if I am not good at serving the master. Please don't fire me sir, I still want to play with Aksa. He is now one of the soul parts of my life." Graciel said as she let out tears that continued to pour out.
Edwin didn't answer anything and he just said
"I'm sorry again" Edwin said leaving the room and leaving Graciel alone in the room without giving an answer to his question.
When Edwin stepped foot out of the room, Aksa was seen crying near the wall of the room. Edwin is surprised to see Aksa eavesdropping on his conversation and does not follow his orders to study in his room.
