Oh Arunika
Chapter 40
“Halo,” greet Aru with a vibrating voice after sticking Juna's phone in her ear.
Not without reason, he felt groggy. Surely his father-in-law knew he was gone from home for a long time. It was evident with Juna giving her a cell phone to talk directly with Bu Ranti.
“Aru, is that you?” Bu Ranti's voice sounded expectantly across the street.
“Yes, Mom, it's me.”
“Thank God you're home. I was so worried I knew you were leaving the house and didn't tell me where to go. Where did you go?” Ms. Ranti was heard breathing a sigh of relief and was curious as to where her daughter-in-law went. Because as long as I know Aru, the girl never went without saying goodbye.
“Aru... Aru earlier.. went to the house of an old friend, Mom,” he said nervously. I don't know, he didn't want Miss Ranti to know what she was really doing. Feeling said Miss Ranti will be angry if she finds out she went to find work.
“Oh, so.” Bu Ranti's voice sounded in disbelief, evident after saying so he was silent for a while. “Other times if you want to go, say where to go, yes,” Bu Ranti's message after being silent for quite a long time.
“Iya, Ma'am,” regrets Aru. “Sorry has made Bu Ranti worried,” he said full of regrets. Didn't expect to be worried until such time. “My mom was there no, Mom?” He wanted to inform his mother and apologize.
“Bu Nita waiting for me at the dining table. I am currently in my room. I didn't tell him you were leaving the house. Afraid later Bu Nita is anxious and will affect his health.”
Arunika bowed in. More and more regret. “Once again forgive me, Mom, it's made Mom worry. Thank you for not telling this to my mom.”
After apologizing many times, the call ended. Arunika can breathe a little relieved because her mother does not know her disappearance. If only he knew, Aru could not imagine how panicked his mother was.
When trying to return the phone to its owner, Aru realized there were no more people there.
Hearing Nadia's voice coming from the kitchen area, Aru rushed there.
“Satisfied you made everyone panic?” sembur Nadia fierce.
Who is not upset. Last time Bu Ranti called them, it happened that Juna and Nadia were having a meeting with a cafe owner. They plan to buy the cafe to serve as a branch of their cake shop. What if the owner of the cafe sells his cafe to others because it is immediately left alone.
Aru. “I'm sorry.”
Intended to spray Arunika again, but not so because of getting a sharp plot from Juna. Nadia's getting inflamed. But when he remembered the plan he had just thought of, he immediately smiled. Staring at Aru meaningfully, when the girl was about to sit in his place after being told by Juna.
“You want to work hard, yes?” nadia asked sweetly to Aru who was collecting their dishes and used containers. Juna had gone out of nowhere because he got a phone call.
“Iya,” replied Aru with a downcast face.
“I have a job for you.”
“Create, Bu?” Aru's pupils sparkled brightly as he raised his face. But the next second the pleasure went out somewhere, because it realized his mistake calling Nadia with ‘IBU’. “Sorry.”
Nadia who was feeling annoyed just sighed. I don't know, it doesn't feel like he's being called by Aru.
“You will work in this house. Do you want?” Nadia smiled meaningfully, forgetting her sense of regret.
“Iya, I want.” Aru looked very enthusiastic. He is ready to accept any job as long as it is halal.
“Start tomorrow, do as Julia has been doing all this time. His se-mu-a. Washing, sweeping, mopping, yes, just like you did at Mom's. Except cooking. You don't have to cook.” Nadia emphasized her last sentence. “Do you want?”
