I Love the Light
A maid

"Hopefully it was my decision to step out of the parlor and be a maid here, right," one woman's inner self as she stared in admiration at the luxurious mansion in front of her.

Yes, she is Cahaya Adhisti, a young girl who has been an orphan since she was five years old. Light has a beautiful face, even without makeup polish on his face. The posture was not too high, but not short, her hair was black and thick, the skin was smooth white, the nose was raised and one more thing, the girl had very beautiful eyes.

"Light, why are you still standing there? come on in, Son!" the voice of a middle-aged woman, resuscitating the Light from her slump saw the luxuries that were before her eyes.

"Eh, i-iya, ma'am." replied Light nervously as he walked up to the woman he knew named Jelita. A woman who still looks very beautiful at her age who is not young anymore.

"Well, may you be at home working here" said the woman named Jelita by slipping a smile on her lips.

"Amin," Light assures in the heart.

"Mother has two children, the first is a boy, his name is Gilang. The second woman is named Grizelle. You take it easy, both are good, but my son is very cold to new people. So, later if he looks unfriendly to you, you do not take it personally," continued Jelita, explaining the character of his first son who did look very cold, and seemed arrogant.

"L-yes, Ma'am." said the Light politely.

"I'm used to dealing with people with different characters. I'm used to gazes looking down at me" said the Light, which of course he only dared to say in his heart.

"Well now you keep your things in your room. Later bik Narti will show you your room," Jelita was still like that, never stripping a smile from her lips.

"Thank you, Mom!" said Light sincerely while bowing his body slightly.

The light almost stepped on the bim Narti, the woman who looked old. But his steps stopped when he heard footsteps coming down from above, with a little running.

The light turned to the direction of the voice, and immediately felt stunned to see the figure of a man who he thought was very handsome.

"Ma, I'm out for a second! I have important business with Bayu," the man's voice sounded, asking Jelita for permission. It seemed, the man was unaware of any new person in the room.

"He must be Mr. Gilang, the son of Jelita's mother," guessed the Light in his heart.

" But it's late afternoon, Lang. You just got home from work, right? time to go again?" jelita protests that look unhappy to see her son leave.

"How else, Ma. It's very important. This is related to the cooperation with investors from abroad, "The man who is Jelita's son, named Gilang gave an excuse.

"Yes already. But you have to remember, don't mess out there, and remember to go home!" As usual, Jelita never forgot to remind her son.

"Yes, Ma. Every day is always his talk," said Gilang, pretending to put on a sour face.

"You bored? if you get bored, you better __"

"Go from this house, so that it can be free," cut Gilang, who has memorized what the continuation of the mother said.

"That's all," said Jelita smiling.

"Yes, Ma. Now I'm going first, yeah!" Gilang almost stepped away from Jelita after kissing the back of the hand of the woman who had given birth to him. However, his steps came to a halt when he heard the voice of his mother calling him back.

"What's up, Ma?" asked Gilang while turning his body, turning to face Jelita.

"Mama just wants to introduce you, it's Light, our new housekeeper. So, be nice to her," Jelita pointed towards Jelita who automatically, directly bowed her body towards Gilang.

Light, feeling his heart was about to jump to see the gaze of Gilang who looked at him very sharply and of course without the slightest smile.

"Yes, Mom, I'm leaving!" Gilang again stepped away after Jelita nodded her head, saying yes.

Light could only sigh at her, and not hurt to see Gilang's attitude towards her, because Gilang's cold gaze at her was not comparable to the gazes of those who always looked at her with condescending gazes.

"Light, don't put it in the heart huh. As I said earlier, my son is a character. But, actually he is good," said Jelita who like to know the contents of the Light.

"It's okay, Mom!" sahut Cahaya, with a sweet smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am." continued Light again asking permission.

"Oh yes, please!" sahut Jelita's.

"Bik Narti, please, Auntie tell you yes, what work will be done by the Light." continued Jelita back who is now addressed to Bik Narti.

"Yes, Mom!" the woman called bik Narti was polite. Bik Narti, a woman who looks old, has served the Maheswara family for many years. The woman was no longer as agile as before, and had been more silent and doing nothing. However, the Maheswara family did not allow the bik Narti to return to his hometown at all, because he did not have children there and the Maheswara family already considered the bik Narti part of his family.

"Come, Son of Light!" take bik Narti while walking with a little limping, to make Light immediately take the initiative to lead the old woman.

"This is your room, son." Bik Narti opened the door of a room that turned out to be quite large for a maid like her.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Bik Narti smiled and nodded his head towards the Light.

"Son of Light, as said by Bu Jelita earlier, you do not take the attitude of den Gilang ya. She was like that, but she was very kind." continued bik Narti again reminded Light.

"Yes, Bik. Auntie take it easy, I'm used to dealing with various characters. I have also become used to receiving insults, cynical and condescending gazes from people. So, I'm immune to it all" said Light, smiling, not showing his sadness.

"Why do you want to be a maid, son? though according to aunt, you can get a better job than being a maid," Bik Narti expressed her astonishment.

"The present age is very difficult to get a job, Bik. Especially just a high school like me. Applying to the company must also be a fall so a Cleaning service. I chose to be a maid, because I wouldn't have to pay for a place to stay and eat. If I worked elsewhere, my salary would only run out for the cost of housing and meals. Not to mention transportation. I would not be able to mourn and help the orphanage where I used to live," Cahaya explained at length and straightforwardly and one remained with a smile to cover her pain.

"The orphanage? where are your parents?" bik Narti squinted his forehead.

"Papa died when I was 4 years old. One year later, my mother caught up with me. I ended up living in an orphanage, because no family would support me. Said they my presence would add to their burden," explained Light again, smiling faintly.

Bik Narti shook his head and felt empathy hearing the story of Light. The old woman finally embraced Light, hinting that she was sorry for what the beautiful girl had experienced.

"You're right in this family, son. This family is a very good family and never discriminate one's status. Auntie is sure you can be here, because you're a good person. A good person will definitely meet a good person." said bik Narti after he broke his embrace.

"If you want to cry, just cry, so that you feel relieved. Auntie knows that you actually want to cry, but you're trying to hold her back and show her that you're strong. But one thing you must realize, we also need to vent our hearts by crying, so that our hearts are relieved" said Bik Narti softly, until making tears of light finally came out wetting his cheeks.

"Auntie's right. But, the situation had already booked me into being like this. I have to keep looking strong for myself and those around me who love me sincerely" Light said.

"Already! don't be sad anymore! Now that you take a break, the aunt wants to go out to make dinner." Bik Narti turned around to leave the Light.

"Bik, wait! I don't need to rest, I'll help to prepare dinner" Light said as he placed the bag he was carrying on the bed. Then the girl walked up to Narti's bik to the kitchen.
