THE WOMAN (END)
•27

Monday is always the busiest day for me. I don't know, even though I have prepared it as well as possible, I still find myself lost.

While preparing a uniform for Andi, my eyes were busy monitoring the hot water I was boiling on the stove.

"Darling, you can comb your own hair, right?! mama wants to turn off the stove for a minute!" my door.

Andi nodded obediently and immediately took out a comb then stood straight in front of the mirror attached to my closet door.

I hurried to turn off the stove and brewed the tea I had sugar in the glass.

"Ma, Andi's done!" he screamed from inside the room.

Before I stir the tea, I made sure first if Andi really combed her hair well.

"This isn't ma?" the question is facing towards me.

I chuckled amusedly, sure enough my guess, her back hair even became messy.

"Here baby, it must be mama who combed Andi's hair!" godaku pinched his nose.

Andi grinned at the reflection of his face reflected.

"And you learned well! don't fight! don't make the teacher angry! don't be rude to Andi's friend!" my advice.

"Yes ma," he nodded obediently.

•••

I sighed deeply, I looked at my watch.My hand hesitantly.at 6.30am.

I knocked on the kitchen door, but unfortunately Bi Marni did not give an answer. I'm trying to open that door that's unlocked.

I stepped slowly into the kitchen.There was no one there.Maybe bi Marni was busy arranging the dining table. I walked closer to the door, but my steps stopped when I heard Ayu's voice from inside.

"What's so great about that Eyebrow? to the extent that Sandy defends him rather than my aunt!" His grunt.

"Sorry ma'am, if I think maybe because of his work Good Eyebrows ma'am.he also painstakingly takes care of Sandy's mas." said bi Marni with a slightly anxious look.

"So according to auntie, am I wrong because I can't take care of Sandy? he should be grateful because all this time I've raised him, so it's like now!" he held back his annoyance

"I never asked my aunt to take care of me! after all, my aunt took care of me for the sake of our family property!" sandy's voice rang out from the stairs.

Bu Ayu turned his head in shock at Sandy's unexpected advice.

I glared sharply at his sudden arrival, wanting to stop eavesdropping on their chatter, but I was completely blinded by my enormous curiosity.

Sandy was seen walking slowly towards the dining table.

"You don't talk carelessly! you think you can talk so much, Auntie? after aunt took care of you to this size?" grunts ma Ayu did not accept.

Mas Sandy sat down casually and looked at Ms. Ayu with a hateful look.

"Why didn't my aunt send me to the orphanage? or just let me live alone in L. A.? why bother taking the initiative to take care of me under the pretext that I'm my only aunt's niece? it's gross!" sizzle Sandy threw away her face.

"Enough Sandy! you are truly outrageous! your talk is getting worse and worse! no respect for auntie at all! auntie is wrong with you?!!" His impact while rising from the chair.this time Bu Ayu looked teary-eyed.

"Aunty's color killed papa and mama!!!" Sulut mas Sandy emotion.His eyes gleamed full of anger.

"That's not all aunt's fault! you know for yourself, right? the two of them were asking to leave on a private plane!!!" it was as if it reopened old wounds between them.

"Mom, it's mom! mom's sick!" Lerai bi Marni finally made Bu Ayu leave the Sandy mas which was still bowed full of anger.

That incident really made me uncomfortable. But I could do nothing and just stared behind the door.

•••

"Is it coming?" tukas bi Marni who just appeared behind the door half an hour later.

I who had been sitting on the chair turned to look at her with an anxious look.

"Yes bi, I'm bad luck!" Tukasku. I don't want bi Marni to worry about me if she finds out I heard a fight this morning.

"Bi, where's Sandy?" ask again.

"There's in the dining room! you better go upstairs after doctor Hasan comes!" bi Marni's orders.

I clearly saw some anger on bi Marni's face. How great is bi Marni who can close all her anxiety during her stay in this house. she did not even tell me much about Sandy and Bu Ayu's problems.which she said was enough 'don't know' and shut up what he's been hearing all along.

"Well bi, I'm still tired anyway!" Sahutku.

"Lis, auntie stay a while, yeah! bring some warm tea for mom!" pamit her Then.

I nodded and just sat sweetly staring at his departure.A second later I stared at the whole kitchen.There were still dirty dishes that had not been touched.then some clothes that had not been stored into the washing machine.

I smiled faintly, it seemed like my soul as a housewife was indeed firmly attached.

I got up and twisted both of my sleeves.

"Welcome to work Eyebrows!" I fucked myself.

Actually my new employment contract with mas Sandy is only to help her therapy, but seeing so many bi Marni jobs, I am not in the heart. After all for me this is just a small matter, but it is a small matter, and I can clean it up in an hour.

•••

I heard a bell ringing from the front door, not long after the sound of Doctor Hasan saying hello to Sandy.

Doctor Hasan's arrival made me a little relieved.at least it could make Sandy a little forget for a moment his quarrel this morning.

"Lis, you've been called by Dr. Hasan to Sandy's mas room!" tukas bi Marni's.

I just finished washing all the clothes immediately tidied up my clothes.

"Geez! what are you, lis? why even wash clothes anyway? that's aunt's job!" Chirps surprised.

"Nothing bi, Lagian just a little coke her clothes!" Sahutku relax.

"Your job is just to take care of Sandy lis, do not have to hold a job in the kitchen! later if your hands blister, then Sandy angry how?" Goda.

I cringed in wonder hearing his joke.
