The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Grumpy

"Where have you been, Nilam? At this hour just came home, not knowing that the dishes in the kitchen had been dirty" shouted a middle-aged woman while shaking her waist when she saw Nilam enter the fence.

Nilam who just remembered that his duty after going home from school must immediately wash the dishes was terrified. Even now his face looks panicked because he had to face his mother who was angry because of his boredom. Nilam immediately hid his body behind Arnold.

Arnold who saw Nilam was frightened and confused by what happened. It was as if he did not know the mothers in front of him. Formerly when still often in school, Nilam's mother was not like this form so Arnold did not recognize who this middle-aged woman was.

"Nilam calm down. Arnold will be Nilam's superhero" whispered Arnold soothingly.

"Who are you to wash the dishes? Who must wash the dishes that help at home and adults. Little Nile's hand is even bigger than his plate than his hand, how do his things fall? As his superhera, I don't allow Nilam to do the dishes" Arnold said, refuting the words of Nilam's mother, Mama Vivi.

"Gee... You want to argue with me? If indeed you do not allow him to wash the dishes, you better replace them" said Mama Vivi cynically.

"OK" said Arnold casually.

Even now Arnold casually holding Nilam's hand into the house as if it was his own. The two of them walked past Mama Vivi casually without greeting, although Arnold had already given the middle-aged woman a hostile look.

"Nilam, where's the black trash bag?" arnold asked Nilam who had been silent.

Nilam feels guilty because his forgetfulness makes Arnold have to help him do his job. Arnold who did not hear the answer from Nilam immediately looked at the little girl who still lowered her head and played both legs.

"Nilam.." call him.

Nilam straightened his head and looked at Arnold with teary eyes. Arnold just hugged Nilam tightly to calm the little girl.

"It's been... It's okay, there's Arnold here who will accompany Nilam" he said.

Nilam nodded his head then let go of the hug. He picked up a black plastic bag and handed it to Arnold. Actually he was confused why Arnold asked for the garbage bag but without asking he immediately took it. Arnold opened the plastic bag and spread it near the dishwasher. Using a small chair, Arnold climbed on top and took one plate after another.

"Help move this plate into that plastic bag" Arnold said.

Nilam nodded his head and followed Arnold's words. The two worked together to move all the plates, spoons, and cups into the big trash plastic bag. After a few minutes, all the dishes, cups, and spoons in the washroom were moved in plastic bags.

"Bere's dong. Did you clean all the dishes and everything else?" arnold said with pride.

Nilam can only scratch his nape that does not itch. Looks like she should be prepared to face the anger of Mama Vivi. Though what is meant by cleaning the dishes is washed using soap instead of being thrown in the trash.

"Why were you different when I met her at school?" tanyanya.

"He's a stepmom. My biological mother passed away 6 months ago" Nilam replied with a wry look.

During one year without meeting Arnold, many events that made the life of the little girl named Nilam changed. Especially with the death of the biological mother and her father married another woman. His life, which had been happy all this time, turned grim. The babysitter and maid fired by Mama Vivi made her and her brother have to smell bad to take care of the house after school.

Arnold looked compassionately at Nilam, he did not expect that his current position was the same as his. The difference between her stepmom is very good while Nilam is the opposite. She will help Nilam and her brother to change Mama Vivi for good. To divert Nilam's grief, Arnold took the girl's hand to sit in the TV room. When he arrived at the TV room, it turned out there was Mama Vivi who was sitting relaxed while eating a snack.

"Gee... It's nice to relax. We work, the situnya relaxed watching TV" Arnold said.

Even Arnold immediately sat himself on the sofa in the TV room regardless of the cynical gaze of Mama Vivi. Arnold pulled Nilam's hand to sit next to him and then picked up a few snacks on the table.

"You should eat a lot, Nilam. Because fighting the evil stepmother also takes a lot of energy" said Arnold.

"Heh... Who did you say was evil?" mama Vivi said with a fierce look.

"Bright... I'll just give a message to Nilam, if it feels good" Arnold said casually.

Mama Vivi could only snort angrily at seeing her stepdaughter friend who seemed to be having a bad influence on Nilam. All this time he was not kind to his stepchildren because his soul did not like small children. Only in front of her husband will she be kind to both of them.

"Nilam, I'll go home first. You're fine here, if there's anything, just run to Arnold's house in the next house. Later let me report the bad guy to the child protection commission later if you see you hurt again" he said as he said goodbye to the little girl.

Even Arnold said goodbye and said a sentence like a threat in front of Mama Vivi. Mama Vivi who heard that immediately rounded her eyes in surprise. He knew the next-door housing residents referred to by Arnold was the residence of wealthy businessmen. If it was true that the child was the descendant of a wealthy businessman, it would certainly make such a report as that was a small matter.

Nilam nodded his head in understanding then got up from his seat then walked away from the TV room. Even they did not pay attention to the existence of Mama Vivi who was still in shock. But before being away from the room, Arnold turned his body and then said a threatening sentence.

"Remember, aunt. If Nilam and his brother are told to clean the house or you scold him, Arnold make sure that this week the aunt will definitely sleep in the cold of the prison" Arnold threatened by shouting and then passed away.
