My Butler
The War Drum

Love has returned to villa Galang.  He saw Galang and Raka were ready with his sporty style. Wear white shirts, pants and sports shoes. Love is made until it gawks with the compactness of the father and son.

“Tante..!” Raka called out to Kasih who had just parked the buggy. The boy was in Galang's arms.

“Ya Raka... Why?” Love began to come down from the buggy approaching Galang and Raka.

“Say by Kris in LFT there are many ATVs alike UTV. Papa who bought in Hihii.” Raka started showering her papa with kisses. Love can only look at the sunglasses that Galang wears. I can smile and control my emotions. Want to find clarity about last night's events. But it felt unethical that there was Raka around them.

“Wauw... Papa likes to surprise ya.... Great surrrpriseee her!” Emphasized the word surprise while rubbing around his chest. End with a bold glance at the end of the sentence.

Hahaa! Shit, what does the hand move mean…? Galang made a mind by paying attention to the movement of the hand of Love that rubbed his own chest.

“We check there yuk aunty! Aunt Aca and Kris were already there.” Raka put her hand to move the sling.

They walked towards the galang buggy. Driving his buggy. Raka and Kasih were joking and chatting while riding the buggy. They sat next to the position of Love holding Raka.

When Galang drove, Kasih recalled again with his intention to confirm the incident last night. He was really curious to want to make sure to go straight to Galang.

“Raka... last night Raka woke up for what sihh.... make it to the toilet yes…? What time does Raka wake up...?” Love raised his voice a little so that Galang could hear.

“Night Raka does not go to the toilet aunt.. Raka has rarely wet her bed too.” Raka just responds to Kasih's questions casually while looking at her online game.

“Ooo... Raka has rarely wet his bed as well.. Papa Galang well yes, semalem ngeck Raka wetting or baseball,” Kasih ventured to turn to Galang and give acting his best smile. Galang just turned his head for a while and focused on driving the buggy again.

What the hell is he talking about? Did you know that she...? He was full of questions in his head.

Huft... Patience Love. There are still small children here, Love deepens while calming his emotions.

Eventually they arrive at the LFT, the proud harbor of Luxus Resort. That morning the order arrived.

Note: Sample ATV ordered Galang below...

Note: Sample UTV ordered Galang below...

They're coming down from the buggy. Walking closer to Caca and Kris who had been there.

“Good morning Raka... Mr. Galang,” Kris greeted with his smile.

“Good morning om Kris.. It's cool... Raka likes allaa hihii..” Raka looks very happy to buy her new favorite.

Many employees took ATVs and UTVs from the ship to be taken down. It's like an ATV and UTV parade. Raka immediately came down from the sling of Love and moved in holding Caca.

“Tante... later aunty will play yes. Aunty used UTV just let om Kris who was steering,” Raka grabbed Kris' hand with his other hand. “Raka already big.. Later Raka use ATV. Raka wants to drive herself,” The boy turned his head and looked at his papa.

Steady just silence. I was thinking about the change in attitude of love. The question led to him knowing, Galang thought.

Damnit damnit! I should've turned off the lights last night before I got in the room. Arguably by stealing a glance towards Love.

And vice versa with love. Love tries to hold back its emotions because the situation is not possible. Fear even argue and mess with Raka's plan with his friends.

“Kris... All the items we ordered till today?” Tanya Galang busied himself to melt the atmosphere.

“Not all, sir. It just came in 50 ATVs and 50 UTVs. The stock of quality goods from Singapore and Jakarta is exhausted. Maybe only 2 or 3 more months can be sent, because they also have orders from other places. I will follow up.”

“Good. Do your best,” Galang patted Kris on the shoulder

(Good. Do your best)

“No worries, pak”

(don't worry, sir)

“Kris, can you take Caca and Raka to the main restaurant (main restaurant)? We'll invite them to breakfast before the game starts. I have to talk to Kasih.”

“Sure..” Kris just nodded without much questioning.

(Sure)

Finally Kris invites Caca and Raka to go to the restaurant. Galang and Kasih are still standing in front of the LFT. About 1 minute after Kris and Caca left, they were still mute. AtV and UTV.  

Finally Kasih ventured to ask first.

“Pak Galang. Can I ask?” Love looked into Galang's eyes from behind the glasses.

“Em...” Love suddenly confused speechless should start the question from where.

“What..?” Ask a Return. He was increasingly anxious to think about the question that Love would throw. “Kasih...” said Galang while removing his glasses.

“Iya sir...?” tanya Kasih while looking at Galang who walked up to him. Galang grabbed the hand of Love. The Heart of Love has begun to jump around uncharacteristically, looking at his hand held by Galang.

“I think... You should know..”.

Galang has not yet spoken to the main point... Suddenly a woman appeared beside Galang and Kasih. The woman pulled Galang's hand into her arms and kissed Galang's lips.

“How are you? Long time no see..” Amelia's arrival shocked Galang.

Love can only watch the scene by clenching her hands. The sense of emotion of thinking about the red spot in an instant was annihilated seeing the scene just now. His face was already flushed watching that.

“I'm sorry sir,” said Kasih immediately left Galang with Amelia.

Love does not just go fast. He ran as fast as he could leaving the two men behind. Feeling very upset and angry considering the events he saw. He ran to the nearest toilet. Locking himself and smothering his mouth with tissue, so as not to be caught sobbing.

“Hik..zzz Hik..

Why am I this sad I should have known this was going to happen. What do I expect of him..Foolishly...why does my heart beat so fast when he holds my hand…? (hik.zzz) Inner Love while hitting his chest repeatedly.

In other locations, Galang and Amelia are already in the restaurant area where breakfast is to welcome Raka's friends. Raka who saw the arrival of Amelia was so happy that it was interesting to introduce her mother to her friends.

Caca could only hurt the incident at the end of the table with Kris. The face shows a bad mood. While outside the room Galang introgasi Teo. Because it was Teo who came with Amelia.

“Why did you bring him here?” Ask with a tense face. Teo was used to facing this kind of attitude.

“Sorry sir. I accidentally met Amelia at the port of Singapore. I should have gone back with Tania. But Amelia forces to replace Tania's ticket. You know for yourself they both have a family relationship,” Teo tried to explain in full.

“Ok. Give Tania a warning letter and a 1-week suspension. I don't want to know even if your department is busy. I don't want to see Tania's face!"

“Good sir,” replied Teo with a nod.

Galang passed by leaving Teo to enter the restaurant. He glanced at every table. I found no love in that room.

Galang approached Raka and Amelia who were sitting together. Inevitably had to sit also near Raka. Don't want to disappoint Raka as this is her show with their friends and parents.

After a while, Kasih went into the restaurant. He was standing a bit away from Raka's desk and her parents. Amelia who had memorized the face of Kasih through whatsapp Tania's delivery, began to walk closer to Kasih.

“Hai... How are you? My mother Raka...” said with pride, impressed a little arrogant.

“I Love. New Butler here,” Connect Love with his smile.

“I think you know your position here. Like any other butler, don't expect more.”.

Hearing that sentence is clear, thank you does not accept. It's like blatantly lowering self-esteem.

“What do you mean?” Love still controls emotions.

“If you are educated.. you know what I mean” Amelia's tone of voice is very conditional on meaning.

(If you are educated, you know what I mean).

Love begins to squeeze her hands, trying to hold back the emotions. I don't know where the wind suddenly came from…

“We will see...” Say Kasih.

(We'll see.).

The eyes of the two are already adrift, not liking each other. However, Love remains by its standards to smile to all guests.

Give Like, gifts and votes a lot yes…

Seriate…
