That Other Woman, My Mother
36

"So there's a waiter coming in here, ma'am." An employee from MUA pointed to Nayra's room after Nayra asked Nurul where Ana was.

"Wanna!" call Nurul while pushing the door in Leo's dressing room. The woman's eyes circled around every corner of the room, but no one was found there. "Give me?!"

Nurul walked in and opened the closed closet to check.

"How's it?" Nayra had only arrived after the tribulation to come here because the clothes she was wearing were blocking her steps. The woman's forehead was sweating. Behind her, employees from the boutique brought an extra Nayra dress that had been removed so that Nayra could easily walk.

Nurul turned his head while shaking. "I can't find it, Mom."

Nayra let out a loud breath. So grateful that Ana didn't come in here. "Yes already then. Let's just go out and lock the room!"

Nayra retreated from the wardrobe room and intended to go back down, but her steps came to a halt when she saw a trolley containing dirty clothes next to the island cabinet. Nayra turned the steps, pointing towards the bathroom that was indeed connected to this room.

There is a hallway that is quite relieved, towards a luxurious bathroom with opaque glass that can be moved. Nurul entered through the hallway, while Nayra immediately retreated to block at the main door of the bathroom.

"Give me?!" Nurul and Nayra entered from both ends of the room at the same time, and Nurul was very surprised to see Ana curled up in the bathtub with her eyes closed.

Nurul ran small towards the bath up and shook Ana's body. "Meri ... What are you doing there?!"

Nurul slaps Ana's arm to wake her up. "Meriana—wake!"

Ana pretended to be surprised when she opened her eyes. He even got up with a frightened face. "Mom Nurul?!"

Nurul glared furiously. "Get out!"

Ana got up in a hurry and put on her shoes that were removed next to the bath up. When he stood up— seemed to stagger, he was immediately shocked to see Nayra.

"I'm sorry, Madam." Ana leaned over until she almost touched her knee. "I overslept."

Nurul. "Everybody knows you sleep at work, Meri!"

"Sorry." Ana bends deeper and does not return until Nayra says something.

"Take him out!" Nayra glanced suspiciously at Ana.

Nurul nodded, then bowed as deeply as Ana did. "I'm sorry for my negligence, Madam."

Nayra left the room to re-examine her documents. While Nurul was so Nayra went straight to hit Ana's arm strongly.

"Jeez, Meri! Not only are you tired, we are too! But what a shame for you, why did you fall asleep in your master's bathtub?!" Nurul glared with teeth clashing against each other. "Here I check you!"

Ana looked down, pretending to be scared. "I can't help myself, Mom. I'm not used to working nonstop like this."

"And I told you, rest but in the room. You can take turns! Did you forget? And why are you here at night?" Nurul skirted through Ana's entire curves.

"I just took a dirty shirt, Mom. I thought, it would be easier if it was taken nights, after all Madam Nayra's room was a little messy." Ana scowled sadly. "I'm just helping."

Nurul. "Have gone there! Sleep in the room .. show is still long, later I wake up when it's time to pack."

Ana bowed obediently. "I'm sorry, Mom."

Ana's move swung quickly, hoping that Nayra would not check the clothes cart trolley containing Aldo's home and workshop certificate. He just took those two, while the other he gave them back. It's not yet time he sees Nayra's other assets. At least, Nayra was not immediately suspicious.

Nayra was already out when Ana came in to pick up a clothes trolley at Nayra's luxury walkin closet. He fumbled down the pile of clothes, and smiled in relief.

"Nayra is stupid." With a bright smile, Ana pushed the trolley out, then when she met Nayra who was on touch up, she smiled very widely.

"Night, Mrs Nayra."

Nayra just pulled the corner of her lips. Completely did not see how Ana was expression, but Nayra imagined how the woman looked in her mind.

She's enjoying being queen tonight with a darling dressing her up.

"It's over, Madam."

Nayra opened her eyes, then stood up while throwing a smile. "Let's help me get down."

They led Nayra out. Nurul was already standing at the end of the bathroom. The end of her clothes got wet because she rubbed the bath up that Ana was sleeping with.

"Please pay more attention to the waiter who works, Nurul! Besides for your own good, also avoid our suspicions. I'm sure before Meriana got here, you were very relaxed and easy to set up the waiter, right?" Nayra smiled sweetly. Although in his sentence contains strong innuendo.

Nurul. Nayra's words are right. Nurul's head bowed deeply, his hands cupped to each other in front. He was determined to make the atmosphere back to how it used to be. Geez, this is a shame with their hourly salary paid at a fantastic nominal rate. In fact, if working outside of normal hours, they are calculated overtime and paid much more.

Nurul will propose to Secretary 2, who is in charge of taking care of the salaries of all workers, including in this house, so that servants like Ana— who are negligent on duty, are given a wage cut. Usually, they don't get that, because they—other servants, love money more than their bedtime. Their employers are very tolerant.

Who wants overtime please, who wants to rest please. There is all responsibility and consequence. Servants here are dozens, and Papa Edo has never lost a loyal person working under him.
