Master Vatler's Handmaiden Wife
5: IPHTV

In his daily life, he never separated from his job which is still kept secret by everyone at home.

No one knows exactly what this man's job is like other than to go home early in the morning but his return can happen between a week to a month later. 

At least that was one of the reasons everyone could not ask further. Including his two children. They both prefer not to ask him what his job is because it all feels meaningless to both of them.

Wh why?

Because for Arshel and Risya, his father was only concerned with his work to support them both in a luxurious life, despite the impact of all that Arshel and Risya can not get what is the affection given to him by the father. 

Vatler was fully aware of that one problem, but how else?

Everyone has to have a relationship like a stranger.

Because he suddenly remembered the words of the woman who was Angie, this man finally shifted his purpose from before to go home alone. 

‘I think it's been almost two months.’ inner this man. He still rides his bike at a speed of over 100 Km/h. 

Since the streets were quite deserted, he could ride his motorcycle up to those numbers.

It was not until ten minutes from where it had been, he had already reached his destination. 

After arriving at the front of the house, Vatler immediately got off his bike and put the helmet right on the bike, then he immediately stepped into his house.

“Welcome Mr. Vatler.“ aunt Jeni greets her employer right after the master went inside the house.

Vatler stopped stepping and looked at what was around him. “What about those two kids as long as I'm not home?“ 

Vatler then continued his footsteps towards the empty sofa located in the living room. While aunt Jeni went to follow him from behind while answering.

“In particular young master and young lady there is no problem whatsoever except small fights that often occur every day.“ Obviously aunt Jeni while putting the tea prepared for her master on the table.

Vatler momentarily paused for a moment as his hand was about to take the teacup to drink. “What kind of quarrel?“ Finally Vatler was forced to ask to find out the contents of the quarrel that he said often happened. 

“That, actually considering the nature of young masters like you, young lady so often provoked because of her words.“ Obviously aunt Jeni with a little hesitation.

“Uhukk...!” Vatler choked when he heard the statement of his assistant who said that Arshel had the exact nature of his.

“.............!“ Aunt Jeni who felt that she had just offended her master, she was instantly silent when suddenly her master coughed as he choked with his own drink.

“ ..........” Vatler who was still holding the teacup directly he looked at the contents of the cup. He looked at his own face and compared his once young self to his son who was indeed quite similar. ‘Arshel similar to me?’

Vatler closed his eyes and placed his cup on the table in front of him. 

He felt that Arshel became a reflection of himself as a young boy. And for Risya the younger brother of Arshel is a reflection of his wife. Although both children have the same hair and eye color, but clearly there is something different from the two of them. 

Aside from their nature, their faces were also included in the comparison between the two. 

“Then what about today?“

“Hmm.., so yes.“ Vatler answered briefly with his thinking face. But not long after, Vatler moved from there saying. “I'll eat in two hours. Prepare anything for me."

But at the same time, as he was about to go towards the second floor, someone came and entered through the front door. 

It was Ard, the private driver from the Elistone residence who was responsible for driving Arshel and Risya wherever they went.

Suspicious of what Uncle Ard brought, Vatler abandoned his intention to go to the second floor, and asked. “Whose clothes are on your hands?“

Uncle Ard answered Mr. Vatler's question politely. “This uniform belongs to a dirty miss.“ While handing Risya's uniform to aunt Jeni to wash.

Aunt Jeni who felt a familiar scent immediately interrupted their conversation with a question to the driver. “This? Why does it smell like the food I made for Miss?“ 

There are traces of oil, also rice attached to the skirt and blazer. The combination of perfume aroma with food side dishes was mixed. 

“Various miss dirty, because it is subject to spilling of its own food.“ Uncle Ard answered the two of them. 

Which made them all quiet. Uncle Ard who felt bad for Mr. Vatler because all the mistakes felt on him, and at the same time did not know what to answer if aunt Jeni asked further, she said, uncle Ard just kept waiting.

While the silent Vatler only looked at Risya's uniform that was in the handcuffed by aunt Jeni. He also equally smelled the scent of a combination that contradicted each other even though it was at a distance of two meters from the uniform that was being held by his maid.

Therefore, Vatler prefers not to ask further because these two people will take care of the problem of what happened with Risya. 

Vatler turned around, leaving them both in a daze. 

He went towards his own room located at the very end. 

The first thing he saw when he entered the room was darkness. But the darkness did not last long, as the main window curtain instantly opened slowly. 

But because he did not want the room to be too bright, so only part of it was open, and the second thin curtain was maintained to block the brighter light into the room.

Arriving in front of the mattress, he immediately laid his body immediately.

BRUKK….!

With his jacket lying on the floor, Vatler's right hand was used to close his pair of eyes.

Now half of his face was covered in a cold expression.

As time passed, he was swept up in his sleep. 

Until a dream of old memories finally comes again and continues to haunt him. A lot has happened for over 13 years. And it was a memory that Vatler could not forget for the rest of his life. 

Memories that only one person can have. 

No. gabe.

It was a memory shared by two people who were destined to continue together. But for some reason, it turned into Vatler's own.
