“Too, are you tired? Brother Malik said he would be home late mini mala. You can rest, we will keep watch in the living room.” Ayu was getting worried.
“What happened? Why didn't Malik call me.” Ayu checked her phone which was not embroidered or vibrated.
“No, she's fine. It's just that there's work that Malik has to finish tonight as well. He can't come back quickly.” Hans felt guilty for lying to Ayu. Malik had already explained what happened to Hans so that Hans could make sure Ayu was not worried.
Hans is a confidant of his father's current confidant, Malik can entrust Ayu to him tonight. He has proven himself who can maintain the trust of Rama during his work with him. Hans has really proven himself to be trustworthy.
“Don't worry, sometimes a man can't share everything he does just to protect the person he loves.” Oji's words made Ayu unable to refute him. He really is a wise man now.
“Come in, San.. invite Ayu to rest. We'll wait in the living room until Mr. Malik gets home.” Sandra pulled Ayu's hand so she could rest immediately according to Malik's orders.
“Do you guys not think there's anything strange? I feel like Brother Malik is hiding something from me.” Ayu was really curious. Sandra also had the same feeling but did not dare to argue, afraid Ayu even more curious.
“What if we play games only. We haven't played our game since you got married.” Melani enthusiastic. Fun games that can improve his mood.
Melani, Sandra and Ayu often play charades with body movements. Who guesses the most will be able to eat for free for one week in a row in the school cafeteria. Games like this often make them have to drain their pocket money for the next week. Ayu never lost this game. There is an element of intent so that Sandra and Melani can help Ayu without Ayu knowing.
“This time I won't lose. I'll win this game.” Melani was already preparing to guess the first move that Sandra was demonstrating.
The sound of the three blaring inside the main room, Oji and Hans just smiled at the debates between the three women who were playing games.
“They seem to have their own world.” Oji smiled at Hans' words. But right, they seem to have forgotten who they are now.
Hans and Oji spent time enjoying the movie they were playing, they had indeed been close since long ago so there was no distance between the two. Oji and Hans both know how each other is. They are true friends born of unintentional closeness.
Amidst the exciting film suddenly the girls who shouted at each other had come out and sat in the living room. Hans seemed to be able to read their minds, surely they were starving from wasting a lot of energy from his body from yelling too much.
“Are you guys out hungry?” Hans is getting ready for the kitchen. The three nodded with a happy smile on his face.
“Me and Kak Oji will make you delicious goring rice.” Oji frowned, for the rest of his life he never cooked and went into the kitchen. Hans pulled it by force. Oji could only follow Hans.
Not long ago the village goring rice that Hans made alone was finished. Oji did nothing, he just stood looking at Hans cooking deftly. All eating voraciously, Ayu was very excited because the food eaten in a crowd tasted better and more delicious.
It's 11pm but Malik hasn't been home yet. Sandra, Melani and Ayu sleep in the living room because they feel uncomfortable sleeping in the main room that Malik occupied, even though Ayu had persuaded his two best friends. As a result, the three of them slept with a foam mattress in the guest room that they moved to the living room.
It did not take long for the three of them to sleep, it seemed like they were so tired that they could quickly fall asleep. Hans recalled how his evil deeds entrapped Ayu for the sake of the woman who had no morals and conscience that she loved so much.
Hans and Oji had already managed to win their hearts with his delicious fried rice so it was no longer awkward. Oji himself feels happy because he can be accepted well even though he needs a process. The way Hans did it turned out to be powerful.
Chequek…..
Hearing the door open, Hans immediately ran to the main door welcoming Malik to come. “Bos is home.” Hans smiled kindly, Malik's face looked extremely tired.
“Thanks for keeping Ayu. Where is my wife?” Malik soon finds Ayu sleeping with her two best friends in the living room.
“They refused to sleep in the room Bos.” Malik knows the reason.
“Nothing, the three of them are indeed difficult to control.” Malik smiled, his face back in power after seeing Ayuna's face. “You've had dinner?”
“Already Boss. We cooked together. Miss starved after playing with Sandra and Melani.” Malik was very grateful through the look of his friendly eyes. Unspoken but Hans could understand the meaning of his eyes. Malik is a famous man who can not express gratitude with words.
“I can't wake them both. They are very sweet while sleeping.” Malik smiled to himself seeing the big young with him very quickly growing into a beautiful woman.
“Oji, don't refuse if I ask for your help. I need some stupid ideas ahead to frame someone.” Malik spoke slowly so that no one would hear him. Oji nodded in agreement, he was an expert in crime strategy because the scope of his family had not been far from illegal jobs.
Sandra and Melani soon wake up, Malik smilingly looking at their swollen faces. “What not to stay?” Sandra's eyes rounded when she realized Malik was in front of her. Sandra felt the same way as Melani. It is shameful to fall asleep in someone else's home without shame.
“We say yes Brother, thanks for the food. We saturate until we became sleepy. Hahhahahaha.” Find a reason why he fell asleep.
“Just relax Mel, you guys are still beautiful. But Ayu is the most beautiful.” Both of them smiled in embarrassment. Ayu still sleeps without being disturbed by noise.
“We said to Kak. “ Sandra pulls Melani. “Have not boasted. We're getting more and more embarrassing.”Sandra whispered after leaving the living room. Oji and Hans followed from behind.
Malik did not want to open Ayu. He has to pack Ayu's things one week because Ayu will have Malik leave it to Rey. Weight is not on her side, but this is for Ayu's safety. It was dangerous if Ayu was currently by his side.
Malik shed tears watching Ayu's clothes one by one. He is proud at this time Ayu can enjoy the results of his hard work even though Ayu never uses his money directly. Malik even had to ask Mamih to spend on nice clothes that Ayu could wear comfortably.
Finished with his work Malik moved Ayu into the room so that he could rest comfortably. Ayu didn't even wake up when Malik cut his cheeks in a fit of anxiety. Malik fell asleep after being satisfied to look at Ayu's beautiful face.
“Kak….Brother wake….Sis..”Malik was like dreaming when Ayu woke him up. Malik sat looking at Ayu's face which looked angry at him. “What does it mean!” Ayu pointed at her large suitcase that was lying in front of the sofa.
“Oh...”Malik went back to sleep and did not take Ayu's question seriously.
“I'll explain later. Give me 30 minutes more.” Ayu pulled the bolster pillow that Malik hugged tightly. Malik sat with his face still on the pillow.
“Explain. Did you kick me out!” Malik was shocked to hear Ayu's words.
“You...why call me that!” Ayu took a few steps back in surprise. He should have been angry instead of Malik. “Ayu never called Kak Malik that way. Does Ayu doubt Malik's love?” Ayu shakes.
“Why pack my things. Explain to me.” His voice is more subtle. Malik grabs Ayu's hand, taking her in Malik's lap. Malik clutched Ayu's body tightly in his arms.
“Yesterday Ayu said he wanted to be with Jofan for a while, right?” Ayu remembered his words.
“Kak Malik will love you a few days Ayu stay there.” Ayu preferred that when Malik forbade her from leaving, Malik's current attitude was like he was gently driving her away. “You want to stay there a few days?” Ayu shakes. Her tears just melt. Malik could not bear to see the sadness on Ayu's face.
“Why are you crying?” Ayu hid her face.
“I don't want to go. I want to be here.” Ayu does not know what it would be if she was far from Malik who always took care of her all this time.
“Alright, we find another solution. I'm not gonna ask you to stay there. Already” Malik wiped Ayu's tears. “Do not cry, my heart hurts to see it.” I couldn't stop her tears. Malik hugged Ayu to calm down.
Malik decides to find another way for Ayu to stay at Jofan's place after he calms down. At this time Malik can not force Ayu to obey his wishes. Ayu's face still looks sad because it is still carried away by feelings. Repeatedly Malik teases her but Ayu's smile still looks fake.
They have arrived in front of the school lobby, no pickles but the school yard looks very crowded this morning. Malik came down to take Ayu to the front of his class. Some of the disciples' parents who knew Malik greeted him kindly.
Ayu walks faster so that no one knows of her whereabouts who walked with Malik before Malik intercepted one of the disciples' parents.
“Pak Malik, why you let this school be led by people who do not deserve it sir. What will our children be sir!.” Malik still doesn't understand what they're all talking about.
“What if this problem we talk about with a cool head. We can use the meeting room. Let's...”All the disciples who gathered followed Malik. The headmaster who was walking quickly spun directions following where Malik was going.
Malik calls Aldo to take Ayu away from school. It seems that what the parents of the students are concerned about has to do with the existence of Ayu who has revealed her identity as the principal's biological child.
