Aruna arrived at the contract at 18.00 WIB. He and Aruna stopped by for a moment to just rest. After that, Aruna cleaned up her clothes for her to take to the Princess' house.
"Sir Aruna bring stock clothes first, yes. Later other items can be repaid. The contract deadline is still four months away. Aruna's sister has paid six months upfront, so it's okay to be left behind, too" Aruna said as she closed her suitcase zipper.
"Darling, dong, Brother. That's, right, still a long time," said the Princess. "The money can't be taken anymore, is it?" said again.
Aruna smiled as she shook her head. "No way, honey. That was the deal from before. Whether you want to be occupied or not, keep paying six months" explained Aruna.
The princess understood. Then put your eyes around the room. The room was the same size as his house was dominated by white shades. Indicates if Aruna is a person who likes cleanliness. The princess hesitated to let Aruna stay at her house. Will the woman stay there?
...***...
Even the night is thick. The moonlight that normally illuminated nature, disappeared covered in clouds. From a gust of wind that felt colder, Aruna thought tonight it would rain. He widened his steps and invited the Princess to rush her feet, while walking in a small alley towards the boy's house.
It was not the first time Aruna had come there. The Princess' house is indeed in an alley that cannot be entered by her car. So, he had to leave the car at the house of the residents closest to the highway. Actually Aruna did not want to live there, but forced the Princess to live in his rented house he did not have the heart. The Princess' determination is too strong to keep her grandmother's house.
"Sit here first, brother! The princess will clean her room first. Brother sleeps with Princess, yes!" pinta Putri after they entered the house. Shows a wooden chair that looks shabby. Aruna nodded in agreement. "There are actually two rooms here, but one has never been made since Princess's parents died in an accident" she said.
Aruna smiled miris. Again he had to see the tragic fate of the Princess. However, amazingly the little girl did not look crying.
The princess walked into her room, and Aruna swept her eyes around the room. The house inhabited by the Princess and her grandmother is far from luxurious. Even the floor is still made of red tiles. It was an old house, which was built when the Princess' grandmother and grandfather were young. There has been no repair or maintenance after that, even the walls have been cracked and mossy. Aruna grimaced sadly. Before, he knew the condition of the house. However, for the sake of the Princess she was willing to stay here.
"Sister, the room is ready. Brother, we can rest." The voice of the Princess kept Aruna awake with her thoughts. He nodded and followed the princess into her room.
Room with an area of 2x3m² it only has one medium-sized cot, and one wardrobe. There are no fans, but there are air vents and gaps in the wall that are able to suck in the cold.
Aruna gulped his saliva, as he sat his body on a flat bed that was not tender.
"So, don't rest first! I'll take a shower first" said the princess.
"Yes" said Aruna. The woman had taken a shower in her rented.
However, when the Princess was about to leave after picking up a towel hanging near the closet. Aruna suddenly screamed while raising both her legs on the bed.
"Aaaaah," cried Aruna. The tiptoed princess was startled and immediately ran over to Aruna.
"What's up, brother?" tanyanya.
"That's .. there's a cockroach," pointed Aruna in disgust.
"Oh, cockroaches. That's Princess temen. Let's just!"
"Huh? How's temen?" Aruna was flabbergasted to hear the Princess's words. His forehead frowned in surprise with the Princess' natural attitude.
"Yes, she's the princess, because she used to play here." The princess said casually, then moved about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Aruna held the Princess' hand.
"Mandi," replied the boy lightly.
"Down the cockroaches!" tell Aruna to be scared.
Aruna took a deep breath before exhaling it slowly. He tried to say softly to the Princess. "Daughter, you know, don't you? Cockroaches are my sworn enemies. From the start of his great-grandmother to his great-grandchildren with the same shape they do not like the same brother. Tuh, look! He, tuh, again waiting for you to go for nyerang sister. Come, Princess! Bring the cockroaches out, yeah! Brother is afraid." Aruna pleaded with the Princess. The cold sweat had already seeped in the pores.
The princess thought for a moment. If he could assume the cockroach was his friend. It is possible that the cockroach is indeed Aruna's enemy. And he also believes.
"Yes, yeah."
Aruna heaved a sigh of relief, after seeing the Princess pinching the disgusting creature out of her house. Then be vigilant if the possibility of the descendants of his arch-enemy is still there.

The next morning, sunlight infiltrated through various gaps available in the Princess' room. Aruna who from last night is still awake is still in the same position. Sit while folding your knees alertly. He was really afraid that the cockroach would come for revenge. Especially when it rains last night. Water droplets coming from the leaking tile became a spectacle of Aruna overnight.
Aruna slowly got off the bed. He did not have the heart to wake the Princess who was still snoring, because it happened that today was a holiday.
"Sir Aruna, really, don't wake up Princess." Aruna who was making breakfast in the kitchen turned to the Princess who said behind her.
"You're on vacation today, right? There is nothing to wake up at noon" said Aruna while continuing his activity making breakfast. "Mandi, gih! Breakfast's ready soon."
"What kind of breakfast?" The princess approached and looked at Aruna's cooking.
"So I saw there was rice, so I made some fried rice" replied Aruna. Even though the Princess already knew the answer to what she saw.
"Gazzy ... Princess take a shower, huh." Princess prancing in joy. Aruna smiled happily to see the child was already insoluble in sadness.
After breakfast, Aruna said goodbye to the Princess to leave for a while. His father called, telling him to come to his house. Aruna was actually lazy to go there. Especially if you have to meet her stepmother and stepbrother. However, because her papa was pushy, Aruna could not resist it.
...***...
"Welcome, my dear. You how are you? I haven't been here in a long time. Mama misses you." Erna– stepmother Aruna, has welcomed the arrival of Aruna at her door.
"Well," replied Aruna coldly. He passed through the body of his mother who was about to embrace his body. However, Erna was not angry. The middle-aged woman only sighed then turned around, and caught up with Aruna who was before her entering the house.
"Where's papa?" ask Aruna after arriving at the family room. He looked around looking for his papa.
"Papa's in the room. He said he was not feeling well."
"Rere." The baritone voice of the person being talked about seized attention. Surya was walking down the stairs of his house.
Aruna and Erna looked at each other. "Loh, Mum. Said sick? Why down?" erna asked her husband, then asked him to step up.
Aruna looked at the frail body of the papa. He hasn't seen his dad in a week at work. Solar's health has been deteriorating lately. Seeing that, Aruna was sad.
"Papa sick?" ask Aruna. Surya was brought by his wife to sit on the sofa.
"It's just soy sauce," Surya replied while leaning his body. "Sit here, son!" he patted the empty space on the sofa he was sitting on.
Aruna said he was sitting there. His feelings get mixed. He was confused by his father's sudden attitude of telling him to go home. There's something important about what they're going to talk about.
