Figurant Wife
Cannot reach the wish
"I-i..." Hanum hesitated to answer.
"No need to feel sorry for them. They work here not for free and are paid by Richard with a maid's salary in general." Dio.
"But why can Mama Jelita work here as a maid?" Ask Richard Hanum.
"Because he needs it." Richard replied casually.
Hanum heard Richard's response. How could Mama Jelita want to work as a maid in Richard's house. It was very unlikely to remember the prestige of his stepmom was very high.
Cita who had just finished mopping the top floor of Richard's house went down to the bottom floor with a face filled with sweat. Because too tired of his work makes Cita not look around.
"Sir!" Hearing the voice of a stranger in his ears made Cita turn to the source of the voice.
"Braggu!" Speak a little loudly with a surprised face. Not just surprised to see Hanum. But Cita also felt surprised to see the whereabouts of Papa Irfan and the others there.
"Cita, come here!" Richard who was unconcerned about the shock Cita called the woman to come closer to him.
Inevitably Cita approached Richard with the shame on his chest because now his half-sister and stepfather saw his condition as a maid.
"Have you cleaned the top floor cleanly? And did you make sure the plants above were all watered?" Ask Richard.
"Have it been, sir." Answer Cita.
"good. You are indeed a reliable maid." Praise Richard but sound mocking in the ears of Cita.
The embarrassed lookout heard the words of the maid coming out of Richard's mouth lowered his face to avoid seeing Hanum and his family.
"Now go to the back. You can rest before lunchtime." Richard.
The idea asserted it and he immediately moved from before them all.
"Oh my god. I feel sorry for him." Digo said after Cita's departure.
"I just feel sorry because he can't reach his high hopes." Digo said it means to imitate Cita.
Richard and Dio laughed at the same time. While Hanum can only hold his mother's taste in the heart why his stepbrother and stepmom can change the fate as it is today.
Not wanting his wife to keep thinking about the two women, Dio turned their conversation in the other direction.
"Oh yes, Dio. Is Calista out of the hospital right now?" Richard asked who suddenly remembered Dio's former lover.
"It has. He was discharged from the hospital about two weeks ago." Answer Dio.
"Oh. thank goodness then. Hopefully he recovers quickly." Please Richard.
Dio and the others guaranteed it.
Not long ago Mama Jelita also came to bring drinks for them.
Withstanding the shame Mama Jelita put the drink she made before them all.
"Thank you." Said Hanum softly to Mama Jelita.
Mama Jelita nodded not to answer Hanum's words. After completing her duties, Mama Jelita said goodbye to return to the kitchen.
Before inviting Mama Jelita back to the kitchen Richard leave a message so that Mama Jelita does not forget to prepare lunch for all of them.
