The Tainted Bride
Chapters 10. No Home

"You guys? What's this jamu? Mama's weird, but I'm glad you're paying attention to me." Olivia got up and put the bottle on the dresser.

Geck, tok, tok.

There was a knock from the door of the room.

"Non's done? If you don't let aunt help!" exclaim Bik Ipah from outside the room.

Olivia got up and opened the door. "Put Bik!" his orders.

Bik Ipah went inside and walked towards where Olivia's suitcase lay.

"Will Bik Ipah no more work?" asked Olivia and the aunt.

"There's what you can do!"

"If aunt is tired, mending bibik rest first. Olivia can do all this."

"No, my aunt is not tired yet. Come here!"

"Alright then auntie please continue my work yes put my clothes into this closet. Olivia wants to put Mas Reza's clothes in her closet. Last night I haven't had time to arrange in the closet because of the tiredness."

"Non Good." Bik Ipah also immediately arranged to wear Olivia.

"If for the underwear let Olivia arrange her own Bi," said Olivia felt uncomfortable if Bik Ipah touched her underwear.

"Non Good." Bik Ipa who thought Olivia did not want her privacy to be interfered with did not ask much, but immediately nodded.

Olivia and Bik Ipah seem to compete for clothes. Some time Bik Ipah also finished his work and offered to help Olivia arrange Reza clothes that were twice the amount of Olivia's.

"No need Bik, if Mas Reza clothes let me take care of it including washing it let it be my responsibility. Aunt is doing enough of the other tasks."

"Well Non, because the bibik's job here is done, bibik says out, Non?"

"Yes Bik."

Bik Ipah nodded and stood up and walked towards the door.

"Bus!" call Olivia when Bik Ipah opens the door.

Bik Ipah turned around. "Yes, how can I help you again? If there is Non Olivia there is no need to hesitate. Just tell the aunt."

"Yes Bik, thank you."

"What then?"

"Eh that I just want to ask about–"

Olivia hesitated to ask.

"What's the matter Non?" Bik Ipah frowned seeing Olivia not so continue the question.

"You."

"You guys?" Bik Ipah frowned. "You what?"

Olivia grabs the bottle she put on the dresser and gives it to Ipah's bik.

"What jamu is this?" tanyanya polo's.

Bik Ipah looked around at the bottle in his hand.

"What are you Bik, or is that a new kind of detergent? Maybe you put the bottle on the sidelines of my clothes because you want to recommend this detergent as laundry soap for our clothes."

"Hahaha. Liquid things like this are called detergents." Bik Ipa laughed to himself making Olivia feel strange.

"Cerus Bik?"

"It's true jamu."

"You what?" Olivia curious.

"You make people dear to the husband" replied Bik Ipah and then chuckled.

"That's the name of the bik's jampe-jampe, it's horrified then this liquid thing."

"Astaghfirullah Non, why even think in that direction anyway? Not Non, indeed it is given what shaman. It was Madame Wati's own concoction."

"Mama's wedding?"

"Yes, Miss Olivia wants to know what it is?"

"All right." Bik Ipah approached and whispered in Olivia's ear. Hearing Bik Ipah's explanation, Olivia's face immediately met red with shame

"So Non Olivia can take a spoonful of the herb and pour it into a glass of water. Drink every night every time you want to sleep," explained Bik Ipah again.

Olivia nodded shyly. In the heart of wanting to try the herb, who knows very well what bik Ipah Reza said will love him and will soon forget his disappointment.

"Well then bibik excuse me Non. Good luck making your husband more affectionate with Non Olivia.

"Amin Bik."

Olivia continues her work arranging Reza's clothes and also her own underwear while aunt comes out of Olivia's room and Reza to her own room.

Clanging Clock beeping. The hour hand showed twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

"Oh my God, it's noon, why hasn't Mas Reza come home yet?" Olivia grabbed her phone and called Reza's number. Initially the call came in, but then the operator there informed her that the number Olivia was calling was off.

"Ckk, why is the phone turned off anyway," complained Olivia then exhaled heavily when remembering the incident this morning where Reza looks angry.

Crutches.

Olivia realized she had not had breakfast when she heard her stomach ring.

"I ate it myself." Get up from the bed and walk out of the room to the kitchen.

"Miss Olivia eat first don't wait for Den Reza because she could come home last night" suggested Bik ipah.

"Yes Bik, accompany me yuk!"

"I've eaten in the kitchen Non, Non Olivia eat it alone."

"But lunch is not yet Bik, yuk! Olivia doesn't have an appetite today. Maybe if there's a friend my appetite could bounce back. If it wasn't for my stomach hurting and sounding from earlier, Olivia would have chosen not to eat." Olivia's face looked sad.

"Den Reza hasn't come back yet?"

Olivia shook her head weakly.

"You had a fight last night? Or maybe Non-Olivia last night refused to serve Den Reza yes so Den Reza was angry with Non-Olivia?"

Olivia still shook her head.

"Keep because of what?"

Olivia shook her head weakly again.

"Yes, if you don't want to tell a story, Non-Olivia should just eat. Let me bibik temenin."

Olivia nodded and ended up eating alone with Bik Ipah at the dinner table.

Finish eating Olivia back to the room. Tune the television and lay her body on the bed.

"Is Mas Reza still angry? Aaah, I'm sorry Mas, but please give me a chance to explain. Olivia covered her face with both hands and closed her eyes.

Moments later, Olivia falls asleep without turning off her television.

In the afternoon Bik Ipah knocked on the door. There was no response from Olivia. Hearing the sound of television that the volume is a little loud, so Ipah thought Olive was focusing on watching television shows.

"Non later if you want to eat dinner directly to the dining table! Bibik has followed and apologized at this time the aunt had to fall asleep because the aunt's head felt like it was going to break." Unable to endure the headache, Ipah immediately ran to his own room without waiting for an answer from Olivia.

Geck, tok, tok.

"Assynnya!" There was a knock on the door with a greeting.

"Mas Reza!" Olivia who fell asleep was immediately startled when she heard a male voice. He got up and walked to the door.

However, he was shocked to find no one at the door. Olivia then went out of the room and checked all over the house, maybe Reza was in the room and out again.

"Nothing, am I dreaming?" Olivia stared at the wall clock in the living room already showing 3 in the morning.

"Huh, I slept all this time?" surprised muttering.

Not finding Reza anywhere in the house, Olivia decides to return to her room.

Arriving at the room, he realized that the sound of knocking on the door and the greeting came from inside the television.

"So Mas Reza hasn't been home all day?"

Olivia was stunned on the edge of the bed.

Seriate.
