44. The Big Madam is Coming
David was busy at work. He often went back and forth between Jakarta and Pulau Seribu to control his projects there. Sometimes also stay on the Thousand Islands, if the return time is not enough. Only Imelda is in the office to stand guard if any clients come to fulfill the promise.
Milea, she's been working at David's house for a month. She doesn't know David's mother yet, and today Heni's mother came to visit her son's house because she hadn't been there for a month.
The woman was lazy to come to her son's house, because her debate with her son was always avoided by David. What's more now he's getting busy, so rarely come to visit his mother's house.
Lea was watering the plants this afternoon, Milea's task was not too heavy. Like David's message to bi Kokom, if Milea does the job of watering plants. Tidying up David's workspace and also cleaning David's room.
David doesn't let his room be cleaned by Len or Santi. Tidying up David's room was only bi Kokom who was fifty years old. Bi Kokom also understood that, but why did David give Milea the order to clean her room?
"Bi Kokom, why did Lea clean Mr. David's room? Usually it's Kokom" said Leni.
"Maybe Mr. David is nice to talk to Lea. Just see if Mr. David talks to Leah, like he's not an employer to his aides. Even I've heard that Lea called Mr. David that with the name om." said Santi.
"Is it possible that Mr. David likes Lea, because the way Lea talks is different" Leni said again.
"It's only natural that Mr. David likes Lea, she's smart and beautiful. What else is the nature of the cherry can make people happy, yes sometimes he likes ceplos sandals" said bi Kokom.
"That's right, but Lea's an orphan. Two days later he was sad because his mother had died a week ago. But after one week he was cheerful again, like he never felt sad" Leni said.
"Yes pity him, if master David likes the girl. I think that's natural, and better, let's just say that Mr. David helped an orphan right" Santi said.
"Yes too, but you should love Leah? How will the big lady? Will he be accepted as his son-in-law?" ask Leni.
"Who's my son-in-law, Leni?" sudden questions from the person they were just talking about.
The three of them turned their heads and looked at each other, feeling afraid if their conversation was heard by Heni's mother.
"Bi Kokom, what were they talking about?" ask Heni's mother.
"Just a prank chat, madam." replied bi Kokom.
"But I heard you guys talking about the girl David likes. Who's she?" ask Heni's mother full of search.
"No madam, not that. Leni who already has a soul mate, wants to be paired with her parents in the village." replied Santi glanced at Leni, making Leni glance sharply at Santi.
"Bi Kokom, I've had the plants flush everything" Lea said, entering with a cherry.
Heni's mother turned towards Lea who was smiling happily. They stared at each other, Lea stopped and turned silent. Glanced at Leni, and Leni signaled that the middle-aged woman was David's mother. And Leah had to bow respectfully, and Leah understood.
"Who are you?" ask Heni's mother.
"Good afternoon madam, I'm Mr. David's new ART" Lea said bowing respectfully.
Heni's mother frowned, she wondered why David took ART again? He then turned to bi Kokom and asked her.
"Who brought him bi Kokom? Isn't there already three ARTs in this house, why take ART again?" ask Mrs Heni.
"Sorry madam, Mr. David took her. Maybe because of Mr. David it ..." bi Kokom's speech was interrupted.
"Because what?" ask Heni's mother to scatter.
"Sorry madam, I asked to work at Mr. David's house. Does madam mind me working in this house?" ask Lea.
"Then, what's a good job, bi Kokom?" ask Heni's mother.
"Yes madam, he's working well. It's almost a month, belun there are complaints from the work of Milea" said bi Kokom
"Milea?"
"Yes, the girl's name is Milea. The kid just graduated from school." replied bi Kokom.
"David took him? Did he not protest with the girl's work?" ask Heni's mother again.
"Yes mistress, and master David did not do much proetes with Milea's work" said bi Kokom
Heni's mother looked at Milea again, then she approached her. Stare in full search. Milea just looked down at the big lady from David.
"You don't fuck with my son, do you?" ask Heni's mother.
"No madam, I only intend to work here" replied Milea.
"Good, lest you tempt my son" said Heni's mother again.
All the servants heard what Heni's mother said. Milea herself did not dare to do anything without the permission of David or bi Kokom as the head of ART.
"When's mom coming?" ask David to come.
"Ten minutes ago, but I saw a new maid in your house" replied Heni's mother.
She sees Milea being bullied by her mother.
"Bi Kokom, get everything working" David said.
"Good sir."
Bi Kokom told everyone there to leave in front of David and Heni's mother. David saw Milea walking unsteadily towards the back. Heni's mother watched her son stare at Milea until she disappeared.
"Mama wants to talk to you" said Heni's mother.
"Later ma, I just came from the project. I take a shower, and rest. Mama just relax first, rest in the guest room" said David.
"You need to say, you know for yourself. You seem to want to avoid mama" said Heni's mother.
"Because mom always talks about the problem of soul mate. I'm tired of hearing it ma." said David as he passed away leaving his mother.
He climbed the stairs, unbinding the tie around his neck. Heni's mother simply stared at her son's departure in annoyance. He finally went to the guest room to rest and take a shower.
