...🌹🌹🌹...

Invite Erika to stay at Ismalia's house because Grandma Rita will not go home to stay at her house for a week to accompany Grandpa Bramantio is sick. So Erika felt alone at home even though there was a maid. The loneliness I mean is very different.

So Erika contacted Ismalia's mother and connected and told Mastiara's mother to ask permission for Ismalia to stay at her home. With her mainstay style Erika finally Mother Mastiara agreed to Erika's invitation to stay.

Erika was delighted that Ismalia would be staying at her house. Ismalia saw the look on Erika's face happy to know the result. Tania finally came out of the toilet a little less comfortable in her stomach. Tania returns home to Erika and Ismalia.

Erika takes Ismalia into her room to take a bath and chooses a nightgown for her. The shower was then taken by Erika. Ismalia lay on the edge of the bed leaning.

Erika came out indicating that she had finished her bath with a nightgown outfit towards the ornamental table then followed Ismalia in bed lying down for a while.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of the door being knocked from the outside, Ismalia opened it turns out Bik Inah who behind the door invites them to dinner together.

"Eh Bik Inah's. Please enter the bik." said Ismalia.

"No need for non. Bibik just wants to say dinner's ready."

"Yes, Bik. We'll be down soon." cried Erika inside.

"alright. Let's not." said Bik Inah politely.

"Yes, Bik." said Ismalia.

After 1 minute, Erika and Ismalia walked down the stairs to the dinner table. There were some very good food. All meals served Erika's favorite food.

Erika and Ismalia simultaneously pulled up the chair and sat down. Helper who helps open the plate and presents it on the plate Erika and Ismalia. While Bik Inah poured water into the glass.

When Bik Inah and the other maid went to the kitchen. Suddenly Ismalia called them. Their steps stopped looking at Ismalia.

"Bik, let's eat together." take Ismalia.

"Not to non. We eat in the kitchen." refuse Bik Inah.

"No papa, Bik. Just sit down we eat together mumpung only there we doang." invite Erika too.

"But, non." answered the sign.

"It has. Come on, bik." take Ismalia again while pulling some chairs.

Inevitably Bik Inah and the other servants want to have dinner with them. It was a little awkward for Bik Inah even though it was not the first time he had eaten with the master.

Finish their dinner. Bik Inah takes care of the leftovers and brings dirty dishes to the sink. Erika had already gone upstairs. Only Ismalia remains below. Ismalia helped with the washing of dirty dishes.

"Eh, non Ismalia. Don't let Bibik and others do it. Non Ismalia goes upstairs with me." forbid Bik Inah politely.

"No papa, Bik. This is just a little bit of lightening the work of the aunt." said Ismalia who still washed the dishes.

"But non. Non-guests here are not good for doing bibik jobs."

"No papa, Bik. I am used to being at home. Bibik ngerjain others." said Ismalia.

Bik Inah while helping Ismalia store dishes on the wash rack.

"Non Ismalia is beautiful, kind, polite, and diligent again. Luckily non Erika has a Non Ismalian kayak theme." praise Bik Inah.

"Ah.. Bik Inah could have. I am used to working at home, especially helping my mom and dad at home. I'm actually lucky to be friends with Erika, Bik. Because Erika is good, not arrogant, and accepts what is especially I am not from the rich. Make foraging and snacks just have to work hard." explained Ismalia long.

"Ohh... So Non Ismalians open restaurants huh?" ask Bik Inah.

"Call me Is, Bik. I don't have any parents. I'm just helping doang hehe."

"Eh Nak Is. But thank God Non eh nak Is important no effort."

"If that's thank God, thank God."

After finishing the dishes.

"It's over, Bik. If so I go up first yes bik." said Ismalia.

"Yes non uh nak Is." said Bik Inah.

Ismalia smiled sweetly and climbed the stairs to Erika's room. Ismalia opened the door Erika was already asleep while holding her phone. Ismalia took her phone put on the nightstand. Then pull the blanket up to Erika's chest.

He also lies down next to Erika staring at her face looks calm and innocent like a baby. Soon Ismalia closed her eyes.

...🌹🌹🌹...

At 10 pm Ismalia woke up feeling a little dry in the throat. Ismalia turned her head down for a while to Erika looking not bothered at all. Ismalia reached out to her headscarf and moved closer to the door opening slowly. Down the hallway down the stairs to the kitchen.

His hand reached for the switch and turned on the kitchen light. He opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of water pouring into the glass to gulp it down. At that moment, the sound of the front door opened. It looks like the new Mandala came to say hello. Ismalia also said Mandala.

A little surprised to see the voice that greeted him. He saw for a moment that his son Ismalia's best friend was in the kitchen. He just passed by without reprimanding into his room above. Ismalia just bowed and turned her head when Mandala's footsteps were on the stairs.

Ismalia still sitting in the kitchen look dreamy. Soon there were footsteps coming down the stairs, blasting the reverie of Ismalia. Staring at Mandala who has finished bathing in her casual clothes trending pants and shirt and then lowered her head.

The mandala passed through Ismalia who was bowed to the kitchen to open the refrigerator. Without speaking Ismalia sees a little Mandala movements like looking for something. Ismalia who already knew the point of directly opening the refrigerator also took ingredients that can be cooked.

Ismalia processed the food because the food for dinner last night was up. Long enough finally the vegetable cuisine capcai and fried chicken Ismalia is ready and serve it on the dining table. Not to forget Ismalia poured water into the glass.

Without a single word Ismalia finally headed upwards. While passing through the Mandala, he prevented it.

"Wait." stop the Mandala when Ismalia is about to head for the stairs.

Ismalia stopped her steps to turn around her body with her head down.

"You stay here and accompany me to eat" said the cold Mandala sounding resolute.

Ismalia who looked down stepped closer to Mandala pulled the chair and sat down.

"Are Erika and Grandma Rita asleep?" ask the cold mandala.

Still downcast "Erika's asleep, om. If grandma wasn't home. Grandma went home to Rika's grandfather because he was sick for a week om." explained Ismalia.

Mandala turned to Ismalia "What?" little surprised. "When's mom coming home and why don't I know?" his monologue.

"Oh yeah. Why haven't you slept." asked Mandala again.

"I was actually sleeping but woke up when my throat was dry and then I went down to drink water" explained Ismalia.

Quite silent

"Whose name are you?" ask Mandala.

"Imalia o'm."

"One-man of Erika's class."

"Yes, Om."

"You're like a good girl. I ask you to take care of my son. If he is a bit spoiled or stubborn hope only because he was from childhood did not have a mother."

"Yes, um. I understand. I also do not mind and have very memorized Erika's attitude."

"Thank you for the food. Very good." praise the cold Mandala.

"Look... Both are."

No more chatter finally Mandala finished her dinner. Ismalia packs the rest of the meal and brings dirty dishes to the sink to wash. Mandala had moved from her seat stepping up the stairs to the room.

Ismalia hasn't finished washing the dishes. The mandala arrived at the top noticing briefly Ismalia who was below. As Ismalia was done wiping her hands and then pressing the switch off the lights and then up the stairs to Erika's room.

Mandala saw Ismalia about to climb the stairs she immediately walked into her room. When Ismalia opened the door and entered. Mandala opened the door slightly staring at the door of Erika's room closed displaying her thin smile.

At the dinner table earlier when Ismalia was cooking. Mandala stared at Ismalia's movements until unwittingly a smile was engraved from the corner of her lips. For Mandala Ismalia a sweet and beautiful girl wearing her hijab.

Bright mornings with cold air make up for the rooms. Erika and Ismalia had been awake since dawn and had taken a bath and fulfilled their duties. Now just get ready to pack the needs at school.

They were tidy and ready to come downstairs for breakfast. Walking along the stairs seen the father Mandala is eating fried rice that has been served by Bik Inah and others.

"For me." said Erika about to approach Mandala while kissing her cheek.

"Dear to love." sahut Mandala.

Ismalia just looked down and followed Erika in the back and pulled a chair next to Erika. Erika is sitting sweet. Bik Inah take them to eat until pouring milk into a cup.

"Dad last night when did you come home? I don't know" asked Erika.

"Dad came home last night at 10 because of a lot of work. I did not have time to nyamperin you because I was tired and afraid to disturb your sleep dear." explained Mandala while glancing sharply at Ismalia who lowered her head and bribed fried rice.

Erika only replied with 'oh' only.

Without anyone speaking without feeling they had already finished breakfast. They both moved from the dining table to walk to the yard.

"Today let father deliver you" said Mandala.

They got into the Mandala car. Mandala has been carrying her own car for a few days. Because he often comes home late at night. In the car Ismalia sat in the back passenger seat while Erika sat in front of her father.

Quietly silent, Ismalia just stared outside behind the windshield. Erika is playing the phone opening the shope app. While Mandala glanced at the rearview mirror briefly saw Ismalia who was behind.

Arriving at school Erika said goodbye while kissing the hand of the father and then immediately came out. Ismalia then goes hand in hand to kiss Mandala's hand.

"I'll go first, om. Thank ye. Assalamualaikum." said Ismalia while opening the car door.

"Hm... Wa'alaikumussalam." replied coldly Mandala.

Mandala's car drove off leaving the two of them standing in front of the school gate. Then Erika and Ismalia went straight inside.
