Groaning In my Maid's room
8. Piqued

Arum's face instantly turned crimson, either holding back embarrassment or anger.

"Arum, if you want to wear such clothes, wear them according to their place!" Serina.

His chest was so tight, his mouth could no longer say. Arum threw away his gaze, hiding the eyes that had been reddened since earlier.

"Once again forgive me, madam!" Arum stammered.

Serina just kept staring coldly at Arum. Arum who felt bad, he immediately passed back to the kitchen.

"Darling, don't talk to Arum like that again." Bara Speak.

"Pity, he must have been offended by what you said!"

"You defended him, man?" Ask Serina.

Instantly Bara was silent for a moment.

"That's not what I mean, honey!" Shallow Bara.

"Then what?"

Seeing Bara had no answer, Serina rudely placed the spoon and fork she was holding.

The woman got up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" Ask Bara wonder.

"I don't have an appetite!" Serina answered with a ketus. Then it just passed.

Bara frowned, astonished to see the now irritable attitude of his wife.

Do not bother Bara also continued his dinner alone.

After finishing eating, Bara was intending to go straight back to the room, following Serina. But just as he was about to climb the stairs, suddenly a faint sound of people crying. Bara who was curious was just looking for the source of the sound, which turned out to come from the kitchen.

"Arum......." Bara Tegur.

Arum who heard Bara's voice immediately wiped his tears.

"Why are you crying, Arum?" Bara asked closer while holding Arum's shoulder.

"Ah..it's okay, mas." Arum replied lying.

Bara begins to realize that Arum is crying for sure because of Serina's last words.

"I'm sorry Serina said that, Rum." Bara.

Arum stared coldly at Bara, then exhaled his coarse breath.

"I know for a fact that you're very upset with what he said earlier."

"Yes of course I'm upset, mas! is that how low I was in his eyes?" Ask Arum, he returned to bring out the crocodile water.

"Shut...already....it's better to forget it, do not put it into the heart!" Bara said, then he embraced Arum with the intention of calming him.

"But still, my mom. I'm sick to hear it!" The words of Arum interspersed with sobs in the embrace of Bara.

"Already, don't be extended anymore!" Pinta Bara while stroking Arum's hair.

This morning was not as usual. Since then Bara has been sitting at a dining table waiting for the appearance of Serina who has not been seen.

Tak.....

Tak.....

Tak....

There was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, which was none other than Serina.

"I'm going first!" Serina.

Bara who was enjoying his toast immediately stopped chewing.

"Lo....lo tumben? Wh why? Do we usually go together?" Ask Bara wonder.

"It's okay, this time I want to go alone, drive my own car!"

"You didn't have breakfast?"

"No!"

"Sit down!" Bara's Order.

"Since when have you denied your own husband?" Ask Bara who is getting upset.

"When did you betray me, Mom?" Inner Serina.

"I'm not arguing. I don't want to argue with you, Mom!" Serina.

Bara was completely astonished by Serina's attitude which suddenly changed drastically.

He could clearly feel that this was not the Serina he knew before.

Serina let out a long sigh, she turned around and then just passed by from before Bara.

Serina's departure, Arum suddenly came to Bara who was still in a sitting position.

"What's wrong with her?" Tanya Arum was curious.

"So, this time he's like that!" Bara.

Arum. "Sadly..the attitude is really like a child!" Said Arum while raising his lips slightly.

"So, I want to go first!" Bara Saying.

"But your breakfast isn't over yet, mas!"

"I'm full, Rum!" Bara grabbed her briefcase and then just passed.

"Bes..mas....." Call Arum but not just.

Drtts.....Drtts....

Arum's phone vibrated, signaling that there was an incoming call for him. Arum immediately reached into his pocket.

"Yes mom, what's wrong? tumben called?" Ask Arum.

"How are you, son?" Ask Arum's mother.

"My news is fine, Mom!" Reply Arum.

"It's good that it's okay. Oh yeah I called because I wanted to ask you for money, Arum."

"How much? what's for?" Ask Arum.

"It's about time it's due to pay our contract, son. And also to pay your father's hospital bills!"

"Yes well Mom, just calm down. Tell me, how much money does that take?" Ask Arum.

"Hem...if it can be twenty million, Rum!"

Arum momentarily fell silent, how could he not? for him who is a maid, manalah may have money up to that.

But Arum was even more embarrassed if he had to say he did not have that much money.

It was due to Arum's own lies, Arum lied to his parents by saying if he migrated to the city accepted work as a manager in one of the famous companies. She was just a housekeeper.

"Well, Arum will send the money later, ma'am. I'll wait a minute, because Arum is still busy!" Arum.

"Okay, son, thank you very much. If not, who else can help you. Don't forget to take care of your health, baby!"

The phone was closed, and Arum put his phone back in his pocket.

"Twenty million, where did I get that kind of money? huh, where's my salary money running out anyway!" Arum Complaints.

"Ah....simple, why do not I ask to mas Bara? after all, it is also possible that Bara did not give!" Arum smiled obliquely.

Huft.......

Throughout the day Serina put on a hostile face, she also busied herself more in front of the computer while neutralizing all the thoughts that raged. Until it does not feel the clock has shown at one noon.

"Lunch first, yuk!" Take Desi to Serina.

Serina glanced at the circular watch in her hand, and she was a little surprised when she realized it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Loh...it turns out it's like this hour!" Serina. "Yes, let's eat!" Serina got up from her seat.

Then he and his best friend went to their usual place, a favorite restaurant that always fills their stomachs at lunchtime.

The restaurant is not far from his office, just a few meters away. When they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered food and drinks.

"What's wrong with you, Serin?" Ask Desi.

"What's the matter, Des?" Serina asked back.

"I've noticed all day your face is like a tangled thread" Desi said.

Serina laughed softly. "You're just there. I'm not doing anything!" Serina.

"Tell me if there's anything, don't worry. After all we've been friends for a long time, Rin."
