It Turns out There's Love
69 - NEW TASKS

"What's the matter?" Fariz panicked, immediately approaching Zafira.

The man slightly bent over, scrutinizing Zafira's body from hair to legs, trying to figure out what was going on with his wife.

Zafira gasped and realized his stupid attitude. Reflexes, he closed both hands to his mouth with his eyes fixed on Fariz who was still waiting for an answer from him. He regretted his stupidity. He could scream without thinking. His face turned red from embarrassment. He immediately neutralized the feeling, lest Fariz could read something he had just thought of.

Bi Senah who was busy washing dishes suddenly stopped his work. Staring at his master with eyes full of question marks.

"It's okay. I saw a cockroach near Senah's feet" Zafira said looking for an excuse, forced to lie to cover up the shame of the two men there.

He dodged fast. Stay away from Fariz who was already standing nearby. Walk towards the plate shelf not far from where it stands.

Fariz could only shake his head to see Zafira's behavior which surprised him. At first the man thought something had happened to his wife who suddenly shouted hysterically.

Bi Senah directly bent over, looking down, at the leg. His head was drowning, his eyes were turning to look for the cockroach. But he saw nothing there. There was no cockroach of the ringleader, which had made her master feel frightened.

"The prayer is no neng. There was nothing here," bi Senah still rolled her eyes all over the floor until she finally stopped looking because she did not find the creature she was looking for.

"The choir's gone bi. For what is he long in this kitchen, if there is nothing he has to do here," Zafira said glancing at the husband who was still standing there.

Fariz smiled immediately. He knew that his wife was insinuating him. The man turned to tease Zafira with the aim of making her even more upset.

"The boy likes the smell of bi. Maybe in this kitchen there is a fragrant aroma, so he followed here. Wherever the fragrance went, the cockroach would definitely follow it. If necessary, he would immediately bite him deeply, "Fariz meringling observed the face of Zafira which seemed to change immediately.

Zafira gasped at Fariz's words. Especially the last sentence. He made her imagine something different. The girl scrunched her eyes and closed them. Now back his brain hallucinated into things that did not know when it would happen. He imagined Fariz touching, tucking and biting his neck to leave a reddish mark there. He immediately shuddered and touched his neck, rubbing it repeatedly.

"Dad," Zafira opened her eyes, staring intently at Fariz who was still glancing at him. The look, the smile even Fariz's words managed to upset him.

"Okay, Fariz. Everywhere the cockroach did not like the fragrance. They used to live in dirty places," said bi Senah did not understand.

"This one is different bi. She liked the fragrant ones," Fariz smiled back at Zafira who was still standing with a sharp look at her.

Bi Senah did not understand what cockroaches Fariz meant. He's not very good at talking about rich people. So that he can only roll his eyes to find out for himself what cockroaches actually meant Fariz. Never mind, rather than dizzy thinking about cockroaches, mending continue the work alone. Think bi Senah.

For a few seconds he was silent. Zafira cast a glance from the man who was still glancing at her. Bi Senah again struggled with her work, cleaning up some leftover dishwashing. Until finally Zafira re-opened the chat.

"Oh yeah bi, breakfast for Fariz this morning, let me make it. From today I will be in charge of cooking food for Fariz. Bi Senah was in charge of cooking the Karman mang. But if bi Senah wants, then I'll cook the food menu for all of us. Bi Senah is in charge of helping me in the kitchen until it's finished" said Zafira as she opened the door of the dish rack and then took two glasses from it.

Fariz looked up, not believing what Zafira had just said. He was amazed by the girl's personality. And the feeling of love grew in his heart. It is not wrong that he chose and really wanted Zafira to be his wife. Although there is no love in the heart of the girl for herself, but she still does not forget her obligation as a wife to always serve and prioritize her husband.

Not only does Zafira's service and attention make Fariz more loving, but Zafira's personality has captivated her. With her workers, the girl was very attentive. He did not even mind to cook his workers. Everywhere the servant cooks the employer, but in this house, the employer offers to cook the worker in his house.

For Fariz, marrying Zafira was a fortune in his life. In addition to her love for Zafira, there are many other advantages to the girl. Well, considerate, humble, beautiful and clever, which Fariz would never find in another girl.

"Waah very good neng Zafira. Luckily Fariz got a wife as good as neng. Besides being beautiful, kind, Neng Zafira is also friendly. Fariz no longer needed an aunt to cook food. Mas Fariz already has neng Zafira, the most beautiful chef in the world. The cuisine must also be very good," praised bi Senah while being busy washing dishes. His mouth spoke, his hands worked. That's bi Senah. Nimble and deft in completing all the work, which is a plus in the eyes of Fariz, made him feel satisfied to make bi Senah as a worker in his home.

Fariz's smile widened to hear the honest sentence bi Senah. He justifies and does not dismiss all the words of the woman. His eyes continued to rotate following the motion of the wife who walked from the dish rack to the dispenser. The man did not seem to want to lose the chance to enjoy the beautiful face of Zafira.

"Bi Senah could have praised," said Zafira smiling slightly as she poured water into the glass.

"True neng, aunty spoke the truth. But neng, aunty cook alone neng for mang Karman. You see, last night Fariz told auntie, in this house will be added one security person and a waiter to clean the house. So let aunts cook food for them," refused bi Senah smooth.

Actually bi Senah was very happy to get an offer from Zafira but as a servant who had shame, she did not want to trouble her employer to cook food for herself even her husband.

""Oh, okay bi. It's up to aunt. But at any time, I will still cook food for you. So aunty does not need to hesitate yes." Zafira still wants to offer his cooking to bi Senah and other workers.

"Well neng, thank you very much. Fariz made neng as his wife. Fine and beautiful. ck, ck, ck," repeated bi Senah chuckled in awe finishing the dishwashing while turning her back to look at Zafira who had just finished taking water from the dispenser.

Zafira and bi Senah only met and became acquainted a few hours ago during a family gathering last night. But they seem very familiar. Like they've known each other for decades. Yes, because of the friendly nature of Zafira and always blend with the workers at home and in the office. So it is not difficult for him to familiarize himself with bi Senah.

For him there was no difference in status in his daily life. Be it race, religion, position, all the same. The mother always taught and emphasized, everyone is the same. No one is rich or poor. No one is beautiful, handsome or ugly. It will remain the same before the Creator.

It is not wrong if Zafira grows up to be a girl who is slightly down the nature of the mother, because she was well educated by the beautiful woman who had given birth to her. And luckily, Zafira is a child who still upholds the upbringing of parents and always try to apply it in everyday life.

"Sama-sama. Now I'm the new resident of this house. So aunty will be my friend," he said smilingly looking back at bi Senah, while walking to the dining table carrying two glasses of water, which still had a tail behind him that kept following him. The husband.

"Alright, thank you to Zafira," said bi Senah staring at the departure of Zafira who had left the kitchen followed by a handsome man behind him.

The woman was still amazed, shaking her head. It is rare to find an employer like Zafira. Not only beautiful but also very good. He felt lucky to be employed in this house, with both employers equally good.

At first he thought, Fariz is the only employer in the city of Jakarta, the largest city in Indonesia, which has good nature and attention. Apparently there is still one other person who has the same nature as Fariz, his own wife. The power of God has brought the two good people together.

That woman is really very lucky. He will live in this big house. If necessary, his grandchildren will be hired to both of his employers as well. Bi Senah smiled happily and then resumed her work.
