My employer, my husband
Rujak Fruit

A Month Later,

"Naila baby, Auntie wants to go to the market first, yes! Don't go anywhere and keep the baby in your womb." said Bi Iyem while gently stroking Naila's stomach with a smile.

"Well, Bi." - Naila.

Bi Iyem rushed to leave the residence of Mr. Keanu to the market to buy kitchen needs that had begun to thin. And luckily, the market is not far from Mr. Keanu's housing complex.

Naila was alone in that big house. There's nobody there. Mr. Keanu and Sid have gone to the office while his wife, Melisa always leaves after her husband leaves for the office. That is what Melisa always does after officially becoming Madam Keanu Armani Putra, and no one knows where she went.

Naila sat alone in front of the terrace while waiting for the arrival of Bi Iyem. From a distance, Naila noticed a fruit peddler pushing his wagon.

Suddenly Naila wanted to taste the fruit. Naila immediately got up from her seat and ran small towards her room. He intends to take the money to buy the fruit.

Arriving in the room, Naila immediately opened the desk drawer next to her bed, where she usually keeps her valuables.

Naila was so surprised and disappointed because the money he had was only 5000 rupiah left. While he did not know how much the price of a pack of fruit rujak.

Naila stepped gontai towards the front page with a 5000 rupiah note in her hand. Naila stopped her steps right in front of the fence while watching the street vendors who now prefer to approach her.

"Sir, how much is a pack of fruit?" taila asked with a sad face looking at the Merchant.

"Ten thousand, son. You want to buy?" tell the Trader.

Naila again glanced at the five thousand rupiah note he was holding. Then he lifted his head while shaking slowly. "No, sir.." said Naila,

"Oh, yes, I have. You walk again, yes!" sahut Mr. Trader.

Naila could only stare at the fruit as she swallowed her saliva. He really wants it but unfortunately the money is not enough. Though Mr. Keanu had promised to meet his needs but because Melisa who controls the finances, Melisa never gave money to Naila.

In the end Naila cried in front of the fence while continuing to address Mr. Seller Rujak who was getting away and disappeared from his view. Naila sobbed there for a long time, until finally Bi Iyem arrived and immediately approached Naila.

"Lho, Nai?! What are you doing here?" tanya Bi Iyem while reaching for Naila's body which was still leaning on the fence.

"Naila baby, are you crying?!" continue Bi Iyem who was surprised to see Naila shed tears.

Bi Iyem led Naila up to the front porch of the house and sat her in a chair. "Try to explain to Auntie, what's really going on? What makes Naila cry like this?!" ask Bi Iyem again.

"Naila wants to buy fruit, Bi. But the money is not enough." said Naila while showing the five thousand rupiah note that he has since held.

Unwittingly Bi Iyem, his tears slid just like that after hearing Naila's plain speech. "Geez, dear Naila.. all right, wait a minute! Aunty make a delicious fruit for you! Now stop crying, and follow Aunt into the kitchen!" bi Iyem said as he led Naila back to the kitchen.

Arriving in the kitchen, Bi Iyem immediately grabbed the fruits in the refrigerator and chopped them up. Bi Iyem also makes peanut sauce ala rujak fruit that is so tempting. Naila even repeatedly swallowed her saliva to see Bi Iyem snacking on the peanut sauce.

"Well, done! Now taste it!" said Bi Iyem while handing the fruit that he had cut into pieces with his homemade peanut sauce to Naila.

Naila smiled broadly as she greeted him. And he ate the fruit with ravenous gusto without saying a word. Bi Iyem could only shake his head while stroking the top of Naila's head.

"More times, Naila doesn't have to cry like that anymore, huh? If you want to eat what, just say Auntie. Later Bibi make it for Naila.." said Bi Iyem.

"Aunty wants to ask now? Dede the baby that grew in Naila's stomach, whose child? Mr Keanu's son, isn't he?! That means that baby Dede is more powerful in this house, because he is the heir of Mr Keanu, you know!" sahut Bi Iyem while smiling at Naila.

"But Naila's wedding..."

"Alright, Honey! Don't think about the no-no! Right now, the health of you and the baby in your womb, it's more important than anything!" cut Bi Iyem.

The Afternoon

The roar of Mr Keanu's car was heard from the front yard. That means the man is back from the office. And as usual, Naila immediately welcomed her employer and her husband with a sweet coffee of his favorite.

"So you're not back yet?" ask Keanu, please,

"No, sir." said Naila, handing over Mr. Keanu's favorite coffee.

Keanu welcomes the cup of coffee given by Naila then sips her. His face that had looked tangled because he knew his beloved wife had not returned, now looks calmer after sipping sweet coffee made by Naila.

"Thank you, Naila." said Mr. Keanu.

Naila nodded slowly then returned to the kitchen, leaving Mr. Keanu who was still relaxing in the middle room.

By nightfall, Melisa had not returned. Keanu even repeatedly called the mobile number of his beloved wife but still could not connect.

"Seeing is too much! That kind of wife of hers?! Every day his work is unclear!" muttered Mr. Keanu while leaving his waist.

"Master, dinner's ready. Do you want dinner now?!" ask Bi Iyem.

"Yes, Bi! I'm hungry." said Keanu.

Keanu immediately headed for the dining room and sat down on his chair. When Mr. Keanu arrived, Naila immediately helped put food on Mr. Keanu's plate. While Mr. Keanu continued to pay attention to Naila who did his duty without saying a word.

"Good fun for dinner, sir" Naila said as she pulled back.

"Ma!" Master Keanu suddenly grabbed Naila's hand while looking at her.

"Company me.." asked Mr. Keanu without letting go of Naila's hand which he still held tightly.

Naila tried to let go of her hand but Mr. Keanu grasped it so tightly that Naila could not let go.

"Please.." persuade her again,

"All right, sir." - Naila.

That night, it was the first time Naila and Mr. Keanu had eaten together. Bi Iyem was also happy to see their togetherness. Although Naila kept her head down because Mr. Keanu did not stop giving a warm smile to her.
