Father's Status On My Son's Deed
23. Promise to meet Naura

Asha and Aji's parents came home a few minutes ago. Currently in the apartment only live Asha, Aji and also Bik Ika. The middle-aged woman was still waiting for orders from her two masters. He also doesn't know where to live.

"Sir, there is something I want to say and I hope Bibi listens to it well" Aji said.

Bik Ika felt there was a secret that her employer wanted to convey. He could only quietly listen. Looking at Asha's current face, it seemed that the woman was unhappy with her marriage. It's like there's something hidden in this apartment. However, he realized that if only a maid, he should not interfere too much.

"Auntie must not interfere in my affairs with Asha. My room is upstairs and Asha's is downstairs. I'm sure Auntie understands that without much explanation. Aunt's room is in the back, next to the kitchen. I'm not going to explain anything about the condition of my household and Auntie doesn't need to know because here Auntie just needs to work and work. No need to interfere in matters that are not Aunt's business. If you don't like it, you can leave this apartment and go back to Mama Nisa's house. If Mama Nisa asks, just tell her that we've found someone who will work in this apartment."

Bik Ika already thought about what her master said. From the beginning the woman entered the apartment, she felt like a cold air in this place. It was just that Bik Ika did not dare to speak and could only see it. Especially when he saw the sad face of Asha, he was increasingly unbearable because he used to be the one who took care of the woman from childhood.

Asia looked at Bik Ika, honestly in the heart of the woman hoping that the woman would survive in this apartment so that she had friends. However, he also could not force it because he knew how to torture it in a place where there was no love in it. Although there was also a sense of shame he felt because of this household. From a small Asha was used to being pampered and obeyed whatever he wanted.

But in this place everything is so different. Asha had to accept it because of all this she could also because of her mistake. If only ... if only ... the word was always ringing in the ear. All of that only added to the wound in his heart. The woman no longer wants to look back, at this time the most important thing is how to maintain her household and also the child in her womb.

Although Aji is not the father of her baby, she still hopes that the man loves this child even without blood ties. There are many dreams that Asha has imagined. The woman only wants the best for her fetus, regardless of how the husband treats her, as long as the child is happy.

"I'll still be working here. You don't have to worry, I won't say anything to anyone out there. My job here is only to accompany Neng Asha, there is no other purpose. You can hold my word. I have been with Mrs Nisa for a very long time, I can keep this secret" said Bik Ika steadily.

"Good, then. Whatever Aunty needs just ask Asha, there's no need to ask me. Whatever Auntie cooks is up to, I'm not a picky person about food either. Please rest."

Aji passed from there to the top floor where her room was, while in the Asha family room smiled at Bik Ika. She was grateful that she was still willing to stay in this apartment. Even though this place feels cold without any affection.

"Thank you Auntie would accompany me," Asha said with a clutch of the middle-aged woman's palm.

"Neng Asha said what, Aunt who had accompanied Eneng when she was a child. Aunty knows very well how Eneng is feeling at the moment because that Aunt wants to stay here no matter what."

Asha felt very happy because Bik Ika understood how she was doing. To be honest he just wants to be alone with Aji in order to make the man's heart melt in him. However, the doctor advised him to rest a lot. This apartment is also quite large if he himself cleans it.

Maybe later Asha can ask aunty to do other work. The one with Aji himself would do, including making tea or food. He also became accustomed to doing the duties of a wife. Any work at home can be done well.

"Yes already, Bik. Come on, I'll take Aunt to the room! I'll also show you the kitchen and the others." Bik Ika nodded and followed Asha.

Meanwhile, Aji who was inside the room got a call from Naura. At first the man ignored him, but his phone kept ringing, until it was finally lifted as well. The girl said she wanted to meet Aji because she wanted to apologize for what happened. The man said he had forgiven her without meeting her.

However, Naura still said she wanted to say everything directly. Actually Aji is reluctant to meet, he does not want to give false hope to his friend. However, the girl continued to insist on seeing him. Various seductions he said even pretending to cry, until finally the man relented and was willing to accept Naura's invitation.

They'll meet at dinner. Naura invites him to dinner at a cafe where the two usually meet. Aji agreed without asking Asha. Though at this time the woman was cooking in the kitchen with the help of Bik Ika, more precisely Asha who helped.

She wanted to cook a special meal for her husband. Bik Ika forbade because the state of Asha that has not been fully healed. However, the woman said that she was fine because it was just a regular cramp. Bik Ika could not force and allowed her master to help her cook. As long as Asha helps the light ones, such as cutting vegetables and other spices, it is also while sitting.

He wanted to get some drinking water. But he saw his wife busy there. The man became upset himself because Asha was very difficult to tell.

"I'm fine, just helping a little."

"Your contact is not okay, can't you take care of him? What if something happens to your son? Everyone will blame me for being a useless husband."

Bik Ika was stunned, why did Aji say if the child in Asha's womb was 'your child' not our child. However, the woman immediately shook her head. It was possible that Aji was just being annoyed so said 'your son' to Asha. It is not natural for such a thing to happen.

"I'm just cooking for you" Asha replied with a bowing of her head.

Not that she meant to harm herself and her future child, she just wanted to be a good wife without hurting anyone. Who would have thought if what was done was misunderstood by Aji. As usual Asha could only be quiet when the man scolded her because she was the one who was wrong. Aji who saw his wife looking down also felt guilty.

Moreover, the woman had already tried to prepare dinner for herself. Even though his condition is not okay. Moreover, he has now also made a promise with Naura to meet, the more guilt he has. If Aji cancels an appointment, it doesn't feel good for her friend either. Moreover, Naura had to beg and cry.

"No need to cook for me I have an appointment with Naura outside," Aji replied making Asha raise her head.

Hadn't the husband already rejected Naura's proposal, why did they still have to meet? Is it true that Asha thought all this time if Aji refused just for a while. Later when they split up the man will be back together with Naura.

"I'll just meet, he says he wants to apologize and there's something he wants to talk about, that's all. There is nothing important" said Aji who seemed to understand what was in Asha's mind.

I don't know why he suddenly wanted to explain something to Asha, which he shouldn't have done. Whatever the truth, it has nothing to do with the wife. Meeting anyone is Aji's business. Isn't that also stated in their marriage agreement?

Aji immediately shook her head and returned to her room. He had to prepare to go to meet Naura. Whatever was inside his head, the man had to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen Asha still lowered her head in sadness. However, as much as possible he tried to look ordinary. Bik Ika who saw it became concerned. Despite not being told who Naura was, but seeing her reaction to Asha, the woman slightly understood that Naura could be the third person in their household. I don't know why Aji let that happen.

"Neng Asha, is it okay?" ask Bik Ika by looking at her master.

Asha smiled and replied, "It's okay, Bik. Aunty continued cooking, but the portion was reduced, fearing it would be redundant."

"Yes, Neng. Better just rest in the room. Later when the cooking is done, Auntie call."

"Yes, Bik." Asha nodded and passed from the kitchen. He went to his room and spilled his sorrow there.

Bik Ika looked at Asha's back with a sad look. She did not expect her employer to live a household like this.
