Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)

At Mike's house.

Febby went into his room after breakfast, there was nothing he could do. How's college? He's still in college, but Mike hasn't allowed it yet, he said next week or wait for his body to fully recover.

Huhh again remembered the man. Today he came home at what time from the office, whether he was overtime or like yesterday came home in the afternoon.

Febby also laid his body on a king-size bed with light blue sheets. He stared at the ceiling, his own room not Mike's. He did not want to enter the man's room without permission. If only Mike had brought him there.

Again Febby remembered the words of the waiter earlier, it still felt imprinted and difficult to remove. He thought about his current status, although he used to sleep with men but why else now. It felt like she wanted to be greedy, yes she wanted to be recognized and respected as the mistress in that house.

Aahhh..no!! What I was thinking. Why should I even think of that man's words, he who easily judges me.

Never mind, just go.

Febby threw the thought out of his head.

Tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me, miss" said bi Ida.

"Come in Bi." Febby got up from her lying down and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I'll bring some fruit for the lady, will you eat it now or later?" tanya bi Ida who is carrying a tray.

"Just put it on the bi table, I'm still full." Febby had just finished all the food at the dinner table of course his stomach still felt full.

Bi Ida also put the pieces of fruit that he brought on the table. Then he turned to look at his silent-looking nona face. He knew this was because of the servant's words.

"Miss don't put into the heart of the servant's words, the servant will learn from Mike." Bi Ida approached Febby and the woman smiled at him.

"I'm fine bi, what the waiter said was true. Everything that came out of her mouth was all right, I was indeed that kind of woman." Febby smiled wryly, this is the karma he must get from the sins he has committed. At least the scorn and humiliation can reduce his sins.

"No man is perfect. All the people who live in this world must not escape sin. Whether we try to improve ourselves or not." It seemed that Bi Ida understood what Febby was feeling.

"My sins are too much bi" said Febby.

"People berating and cursing the lady is not necessarily better than Miss Febby. Miss don't mind much, the fetus in the belly of the lady can feel the sadness that the lady feels." Bi Ida continues to give spirit to Febby.

"So auntie knows I'm pregnant..." Febby was a little surprised because bi Ida knew if she was pregnant and maybe also the maid in the house knew all.

"Yes Non aunty already knows, Mr. Mike said it himself. Tuan said if miss is pregnant with her child," said bi Ida.

Again Febby smiled smirkingly, "Shame on Bi."

"No Non, sir just said that to me."

Febby is a little interested in Mike's life. Maybe bi Ida can tell you about the man she thought.

"Here you sit, there's something I want to ask you," said Febby told bi Ida to sit next to him.

"Does Mike have a girlfriend? Does her boyfriend sleep in this house too?" ask Febby.

"After aunt, master has no non girlfriend and miss is the first woman to be brought home by master," answer bi Ida and honestly the answer is a little to make Febby's heart relieved at least he is not a third person anymore at this time.

"Did he live in this house or have another?" Febby wanted to know more about the man.

"Before there was a lady, the master lived more in her apartment. Come home here maybe twice a week." Bi Ida seemed to be remembering.

"Apartment bi?? Means aunt doesn't know if Mike has a girlfriend, maybe she took him to the apartment instead of this house." It turns out that the relief did not last long, there is a possibility if Mike has a lover.

"No Non, not like that. All I know is that Mr. Mike is a workaholic, he spends a lot of time working" Ida said.

"I'm not sure bi, his face is handsome, his appearance is cool. No woman could be with him."

"Nobody wants a non, but the master doesn't want to. Miss is the first woman in your life. Auntie sure is." Bi Ida convinced Febby not to think no-no.

"really? Aunt sure?" febby asked with sparkling eyes. Somehow it feels so happy to hear the statement bi Ida.

"Yes Non. While preparing this room for the lady alone, the master paid close attention to her details as if she was afraid that the lady would not like."

"Auntie isn't making things up, is it? Not just to make me happy, right?" febby squinted his eyes.

"Truly non, for what aunt lied. It seems that master loves miss very much," said bi Ida sure with his presumption.

Febby shut up and thought about what Ida said. Could it be like that, could it be that the man loved her. Or just because there's a child in her stomach? Yes, it must be because of that. If there was no child, the man would not appear before him again.

"Thank you, Bi, for answering my question" said Febby, smiling. He didn't say what was on his mind.

"Sama-sama Non, is there anything else that you would like to know about mister?"

"No Bi, that's enough." Febby got up and picked up the fruit on the table.

"Then excuse me, miss, you better rest, if you need anything just call me and if you want to ask about my master I am ready to tell you what I know." Bi Ida stood up and bowed her body.

"Yes Bi, thank you. Don't tell him I'm wondering about auntie." Febby's embarrassed to let Mike know.

"Neither Non, aunt will keep her mouth shut." Afterwards the aunt came out of the room, leaving Febby alone with her thoughts.

How she really feels about me. If he doesn't love me why he touched me again yesterday. Oh Febby are you stupid, of course the man happily ate your own bait that lured him yesterday. Febby cursed at his stupidity.

to be continue...
