Oh Arunika
Chapter 39
Arunika returned Julia's smartphone after exchanging her voice and looking at her mother's face. Miris is his life. It has not been able to have a small rectangular object until now.
He asked his mother over the phone. Julia who at that time heard Aru missed her mother so much, suggested that Aru make a video call using her mobile phone.
“Mbak, thank you very much, yes. Later if I have worked, I will replace the pulse,” said Aru with a bad heart because it has been using the smart thing long enough.
“Yes, Mrs Aru. Don't worry. If Mom needs anything just say the same to me, yes.”
Very nice, Julia. In Aru's heart, Aru prayed that good things would always come to Julia's mother.
“Mbak, what else should we do?”
“Nothing, Mom. All work is done. Just stay to cook for dinner later,” replied Julia lying. Because actually there is still an order from Nadia that has not been done. Can not be not, Aru who is also her employer in this house continues to do work that is her own responsibility?
Although Aru has repeatedly said not to hesitate to be asked for help, Julia still feels reluctant. “Mother rest only.”
“Oh, so, yes, Mbak.” Aru smiled feeling pleased because there was intention in her heart. “If I go out of the house for a while, may not, Ma'am?”
“Of course you can, Bu.” Julia was not out of thought, it could be Aru asked for her permission to leave.
“Thanks, yes, Mbak.” Aru left there with a happy heart. I hope that when he gets outside he can find what he is looking for.

It was late in the evening, almost at night when Aru arrived home. His face looked crumpled as well as his clothes.
He swallowed the saliva when he realized Juna's car was parked in the garage. Usually they—Juna and Nadia go home at dinner time.
“That's the guy who's been waiting for.” Nadia who saw Aru enter immediately greeted the girl with an intimidating look. “From the outside he looks innocent and innocent. But look, only one day he was not supervised, already dared to wander. Is this your true behavior.” An annoyed Nadia immediately approached Aru who was standing while looking down.
Previously, Ms. Ranti first called home, wanting to mince words with Aru what food will be cooked for dinner later. While talking to Julia and asking for Aru's whereabouts, Julia confusedly answered him because Aru himself did not tell where to go and again said just go for a while.
“Sorry, Mom,” regrets Aru.
“Mother, Mother. I'm not your mother!”
Aru speechless.
Nadia is crossing her arms, “I wonder why Mom can like a woman like her. Not rich, not smart, tid—”
“Nadia!” Juna interrupts Nadia's clear remarks that hurt Aru's feelings. I don't know, his first wife was increasingly not having a good attitude and nature.
“Where are you from?” juna asked quietly but felt cold in Aru's hearing. Of course it is cold, because Juna also feels annoyed at Aru. From Julia's story, Aru goes from noon without saying where to go. Not only Nadia, she was sprayed by her mother earlier.
“Sa-I was away looking for work.”
“What? looking for work?” Nadia laughed mockingly. “Who's the ma—”
“Nadia. Let me do the talking!” juna shouted with full warning. Looking at the serious Juna, Nadia immediately closed her lips. “What's met?” Juna glanced at Aru who always looked down when spoken to.
“But.”
Juna's breath was heard clearly. “Begin only. How about ka—”
Juna's words had to stop because of the loud sound of his phone. Juna took it out of his pants pocket and on his screen was his mother's name. “It. Talk to Mom.” The man with two wives handed his phone to Aru and was taken by Aru with trembling hands.
