Special Maid For Om Duda
Meeting the Real Employer

After I got acquainted with the Madam in this house, as well as the other workers, Bi Lastri immediately explained what I would have to do as long as I was a maid in my boss's real house, the Den Aarav.

Really first knowing my work was quite surprised, where the work all day was almost no rest, but I was still grateful, at least about cooking just waiting for orders from my employer later, later, so I'm more focused on keeping the house and cleaning the house.

Bi Lastri also told me that my employer's house will not be as big as his parents' house, I felt a little relieved. At least I'm not too cape to clean it up. Imagine if his house is the same as his parents' house with three floors I clean everything. There will be no rest.

I've been working at my employer's parents' house for a week. So far Mrs Misel is satisfied with my work.

"Lydia's... Lydia's." Madam Misel is calling me.

I rushed straight to him. "Nyonyah call me," I replied politely.

"You are cooking today and preparing well, the son of Mamih will come here. And Mamih saw that your work was already good, so you start working tomorrow at Aarav's house," he explained, his polite tone of speech made me and others comfortable to have an employer like him.

"Well Madam, are there any special dishes I would like to cook for you?" ask me, so that I am not confused to choose a processed menu later.

"You cooked a simple meal like yesterday buttered chicken with young corn stir-fry or did you cook a good Lyd yesterday."

I am very grateful, because it turns out that my cooking is acceptable to them. I worked here for a week. The more I cook it because the Madam who turns out to fit the processed results of my hand.

"Okay, ma'am, I'm saying goodbye first." I hurriedly prepared the ingredients that I would cook, not only because the big madam liked my cooking, but I was also happy that it turned out that I should be in this house at the earliest two weeks, after all, but it was only one week that I was transferred to my real employer's house.

There is a pleasure and also I deg-degan because according to Bi Lastri, Den Aarav is a little rese the person must be perfect, he said, there have been many household assistants who come in and out because the employer does not like the way it works. They work very well.

"Ndok, said Nyoyah to move now?" Suddenly Bi Lastri's voice startled me and I immediately turned back and revealed my smile.

"Yes Bi, thank God. Lydia thought it was two weeks at the earliest," I answered, unceasingly expressing my gratitude, for it turned out that the work of being a servant was not as horrid as you said, that fierce employer and cape work, that was, not friends who don't get along with each other. It was like finding a new family who cared for me, rather than in my own home. There is only one roof, but silence, once speaking only when necessary.

"Alhamdulillah, Bibi was also happy to hear it, and Aunty admitted you are indeed a diligent child, your work is good and you quickly moved to the house Den Aarav, Den, but if later there is a good work well Ndok," advises Bi Lastri.

Bi Lastri was my neighbor, from childhood he lived with the Mbah, because his parents had died, so he was my family considered like a sodara, so we were this close.

"Well Bi, Lydia won't put Bi Lastri to shame, Lydia will be proud of Auntie" I replied, with passion.

Ever since I lived in this family, I really felt that my life was colored again, I felt like I was reborn into this world.

After almost an hour of cooking I was done and prepared my processed products on the dining table.

"Where are we?" a heavy voice, and sounding very close, I raised my face. Oh my God he was next to me a very close distance, and his fragrance disturbed my mind.

"Come... Nyoya is usually in Den's library." I replied in a stammering voice and gerogi, without feeling my whole body quivering, as if I had just made a mistake.

"Call me now, tell me Aarav has come!" her word.

"Good Den." I rushed straight to my favorite place to spend her time. All I know is that he does not like the crowds and his days are more at home and indeed he prefers to read.

Her three other children live abroad and only one lives in Indonesia, Den Aarav. Her husband is also busy. That's all I know, according to Bi Lastri.

"Nyoya, in front there is Den Aarav, asking me to call you," I said as soon as I walked into the very comfortable room. Looks happy hue from my master's pretty face.

"Alright, thank you Lyd," said Mrs Misel, immediately put down the book she read, and went to see her son.

I tailed behind my master to meet his son who was none other than he was my future employer.

"Hay dear... mamih has been waiting from yesterday, why just come now?" ask her to the son. I continued my old work. I said that one plate was filled with the food I was cooking. It seems my prospective employer has taken it. I am quite happy because it is a sign that he also likes my processed products just like Nyoya Misel.

"Iya Mih, the usual handsome Mamih boy is busy these days." I just listened to their chatter without leaving my job.

"Oh yes Rav, this is the maid you told me about. How do you fit in? Or change again? It works ok, but I like the way he works. The food you eat is processed by him, how good is it?" Nyoyah Misel introduced me to her son.

"Try the end of Mih, if the matter fits him, Aarav does not know his work, if diligent and good can be considered, and about the cuisine, delicious. Aarav likes the spice to fit, not too over but it feels right, "he said, and my body feels like it's flying.

I see it looks like my employer is a good guy too, hopefully.

"If so, you trim your clothes Lyd, so today you also join Aarav to start work there. You ready?"

I raised my face and gave a faint smile. "Ready Boy." Without waiting for a long time I went straight to my room, and tidied up my clothes, all alone with Bi Lastri and my very good friends, with them despite only working for seven days, but I've sensed that we're very close.

I let out a long sigh and in my heart recited a prayer of kindness, for it was only the beginning of my struggle to determine my future. I have to prove to my Father, Mother and my three sisters that I can laugh happily again, not forced laughter, like all this time. I can prove to them that being a maid is also not a dirty and low-key job.

How people judge our work reflects on us.

"May Den Aarav be a good employer for me."
