Love Melati Love
The harmonious family

"Non..Non Melati," call someone in front of Melati's room. Melati who had just finished praying Magrib, turned to the door and got up from her seat. Walking hastily still wearing Mukenah.

"Yes.who?" jasmine shouted while opening the door. A woman stood at the door, looking into Melati's room. As if he wanted to know what the girl was doing.

" Who is it?" Melati looked politely at the woman in front of her.

"I'm Wati, the housekeeper here, "he replied as he glanced. Melati was surprised but tried to calm down.

"Oh.., sorry mbak. I don't know," Melati replied with a friendly smile.

"You don't have to wear a smiley event. Non in waiting for Mr and Madam for dinner, hunting is not used

long time!" wati's orders were fierce. Melati was surprised to hear Wati's cry. Maid in this house.

"Yes mbak, later I go down, I first finish my prayer tool,"

Wati gave no answer, only his eyes looked into the room, and he saw a Sajadah lying on the floor. Finally the woman left, without giving any answer. Melati rubbed her chest, which had been pounding loudly because of the words of the Household Assistant.

"Where is Non Melati?" mbok Sri asked when Wati had returned from Melati's room.

"I called Mbok. You're just a pretty kid, like a big princess,"

"E..ee..Try a little polite. Melati is the daughter of her best friend Sir!" mbok Sri's voice sounded out loud, reminding Wati.

"Alah, the village people, the sok kemayu. Ebu she who.about-beautiful, already like a great princess," said Wati while leaving Mbok Sri who was very furious to hear Wati's answer.

" Basic children are never taught to be polite. Indiscriminate with your guests, Mr." Mbok Sri was upset while shaking the kapala.

In Melati's room.

The girl immediately folded the prayer mats and the face that lay on the floor. Then put it on a shelf located in the corner of his room. Tidying up her headscarf then walked to the door of the room and rushed to the dining table, where Mr. Hendrawan's family was waiting for her.

"Come here son, sit beside Mami," asked a beautiful woman who sat beside Mr. Hendrawan.

Melati believes that the woman must be Mr. Hendrawan's wife. Melati then nodded politely at Mrs Hendrawan. But Melati was confused as to why she was told to sit next to Mrs Hendrawan. The woman read Melati's doubts, then she kindly pulled Melati's hand, then took her to sit next to her chair. Melati is confused why the woman told her to call Mami, is she not her daughter?. But Melati did not dare to argue, like Mrs Hendrawan alone, whispered Melati in heart.

"Don't hesitate Mel.take your own house yes," he said later.

Then the waiters served dinner side dishes. Delicious food has been served. Mrs Hendrawan invited Melati to start enjoying her dinner.

"Come on Mel.you want to eat what Mami's gonna get you!" tawar Mrs Hendrawan .

"This one, the same sambal," Melati stared at the food in front of her while pointing at the food she wanted.

"Cock is just a vegetable? it's got meat sticks, it tastes really good..Mami get it?" Mrs Hendrawan was astonished and took a spoonful of steak and sauce. This is the best meat steak made by mbok Sri. Although Mbok Sri is a butler but for cooking meat steak, mbok Sri never gave it to others. Mbok Sri himself who processed it himself until finally became a favorite menu of the Hendrawan family.

"Delati, tomorrow Mas Reyhan will take you to Campus. You will continue your education at Abdi Bangsa University. You can choose the majors you want ", said Mr. Hendrawan suddenly. Melati raised her face, then looked at Mr. Hendrawan in surprise. He really did not understand why he had to go to college in this city. This man was his father's friend. But why do you want to give everything, whispered Melati in the heart.

"What is not troublesome Mr Hendrawan? I don't want to burden you and your family, I can work as a Household Assistant here. Let me pay my father's debt" he said politely. He was afraid to offend Mr. Hendrawan. But for him it's better. He doesn't want to trouble anyone else.

"Have not refused is not good.deny Papi's orders. Did you forget that you also have to call Papi and Mami to us?" Mrs Hendrawan tried to mediate, but still told her to go to college. Melati looked at Mr. Hendrawan, with a determined look. The man nodded while smiling sincerely at him. Melati looked at her food that was still left. He was confused, why he was told to go to college here, instead he worked so that money could be collected and could help the father in the village to pay off his debt.

Melati just kept quiet, while scooping food into her mouth. Everyone at the dinner table was silent, still waiting for Melati's decision. But the answer I was waiting for was to agree. Jasmine knows it.

"Because you're so Rey drove Melati to buy clothes?" Mami Anita turned her gaze to her son Reyhan.

"Had Mi.ke Mami subscription boutique in Taman Anggrek Mall," he said while bribing food into his mouth. Madam Anita smiled with relief, then turned her gaze to Melati.

"Tomorrow when applying for college, you wear clothes that are newly purchased, and you can choose the faculty you want,"

"Yes..Madam," said slowly.

"Mel.Why can't you call me and my husband Papi and Mami, is it too much for you?" asked Madame Anita sadly. Melati looked at the woman.

"It's not so.only Mel felt why it was so noticed and loved here. In fact, Mel is a nobody," he said honestly. Madame Anita took a deep breath. He was sad Melati objected to calling him Mami....

"But Mel, thank you for everything given by Nyo.eh..Ma's.... Mami and Papi and Mas Reyhan are here." he continued.

"Don't worry anymore, let's continue eating" interrupted Reyhan while enjoying his dinner. Staring fixedly at Melati.ah if only Melati knew, whispered Reyhan while bribing a piece of wine into his mouth.

Madam Anita nodded in agreement, followed by a nod by Mr. Hendrawan and they smiled. A happy smile of course.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, everything at the dining table walks out, sitting casually on the back porch. A large, beautiful courtyard unfolds before the eyes. Melati admires the backyard of this luxurious house. In front of the terrace, there is a medium-sized swimming pool. As old as Melati, recently she saw a swimming pool. Because in the village there is only a river with clear water, and it will be cloudy if it rains.

"You like swimming Mel?" tanya Reyhan looked at Melati. The beautiful girl nodded. Then smile at him.

"Kalo in the village there is only the Mas river, there is no swimming pool. Usually Mel swims with friends while washing clothes." Reyhan smiled, seeing that now Melati was not shy anymore.Master Hendrawan and Anita were happy to see the two, had begun to get along.

" I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot to serve dessert. This is a fruit pudding.please Mr. Madam.". suddenly Mbok Sri was already on the back porch with a waiter carrying food in the food stroller.

"Oh.it's okay mbok Sri.ayo just put it on that table. We'll eat later" Anita smiled. Mbok Sri bowed respectfully as he told the waiter to serve food on the table.

"Dark....Reyhan.ayo ate dessert.mbok Sri delivered pudding nih fruit." call Mrs Anita to Reyhan and Melati who was busy chatting in front of the pool.

"Yuk..Mel..we eat fruit pudding first.sayang if not in the meal.better stale inside than stale outside," gurau Reyhan was followed by Melati behind him.The girl chuckled at Reyhan's joke.

The harmonious family enjoyed the fruit pudding made by Mbok Sri. Mbok Sri is very good at cooking. Harmonious families always love every menu served. Mbok Sri has been working with the Hendrawan family for decades. So he has already memorized the favorite of each member of this family. Mbok Sri is also thoughtful, friendly and polite. The whole family in this house loved it. Because of his good nature, Mr. Hendrawan and Mrs Anita keep him to keep working here.
