My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 16
"Mas Hendra, if Mas wants to go home, it's okay, just go home. Soon Mas Dodi will come, really," said Arini to Hendra who had been faithful to wait for Azkia and Arini in the room.
"It's okay, Arini. I'll be home after Mas Dodi gets here. I will not leave you alone, afraid that if the Doctor or Nurse needs something, then I can help you," Hendra said with a warm smile.
Arini also returned the handsome man's smile. "Thank you very much, Mr. Hendra. I really owe you one" said Arini.
For a moment Arini and Hendra were silent with their own thoughts. Arini finally opened their conversation.
"Sorry, Mas. What exactly does it work? I've heard Mas's mother say, Mas works in a remote village far from the city center. Is that true?" ask Arini.
Hendra smiled faintly while recalling a remote village away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Where he was assigned to be a Primary School teacher at that place.
"I am a teacher assigned to teach at a Primary School in Arum Manis village. A remote village far from the city-center"
"Sweet Arum Village? That's my village, Mum! I'm from there. Yeah, God! Suddenly I missed my village," Arini interrupted with teary eyes, making Hendra stop his speech. The man returned with a big smile after learning that Arini was from the village.
"Well, what a coincidence, yeah. Your village is beautiful, Arini. I just feel right living there. Although remote, but the community is very friendly, the nature is very beautiful and certainly the girls from the village are beautiful!" continued Hendra while laughing crisply.
"Yes, it's true, Mas Hendra. The girls in the village are beautiful." Arini laughed too softly.
"Include you" said Hendra. Hendra immediately shut his mouth when he saw Arini's expression that started to change. The woman was suddenly silent with eyes constantly on her.
However, it was only temporary. Arini smiled again after a few seconds. "Have you got any of them?" ask Arini.
"Who? Those girls?" Hendra laughed again. "Where do they want me, Arini. Lah, the young man there is much more handsome than me" he said.
"Ish, I can do it" replied Arini.
Without them realizing Dodi has arrived in the room while paying attention to the proximity of Arini and Hendra. There was jealousy in the man's heart as he watched his wife talking to another man. Yes, even if their conversation is just a normal one.
Ahem!
"Mas, thankfully you came" Arini said as she hugged Dodi's body.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm late" replied Dodi with a flat gaze still fixed on Hendra.
"This is Mas Hendra, Mas. He brought me and Azkia to this place" Arini said again while introducing Dodi to Hendra.
"Hendra, Mommy." Hendra reached out his hand to Dodi and was immediately greeted by the man.
"Dodi" replied Dodi.
"Ehm, I'd better excuse you. You must have been waiting for me" said Hendra later. He nodded his head slowly while continuing to smile at Dodi who was still putting on a flat face. Not to forget, he also said goodbye to Arini.
After Hendra's departure, Dodi immediately approached the bed of little Azkia. "How's the condition?" dodi asked with a sad face. There was regret on the man's face because he was insensitive that his little baby was really sick.
"It's better, Mom. But the doctor requested that Azkia remain in the care for several days to monitor her health" Arini said.
"Yes, no problem. The important thing is that Azkia is completely healed and can return to her normal state." Dodi grabs Arini's shoulder and hugs his wife.
"Yes, Mas. You are right" said Arini.
"Oh yes, Arini. Please keep your distance from Hendra. Yes, even though he is a good person and has no intention to us. However, somehow Mas did not like when he saw it with you," said Dodi.
"Well?!" Arini was shocked when Dodi said that. She looked up and looked at her husband's face. His face looked so serious and there was no sign that the man was joking with him.
Seeing Dodi's expression like that, Arini did not dare to wonder anymore even though he was actually confused. Arini nodded her head. "Yes, okay, Mas."
