"Asya," snapped Alma quickly while leaking Asya coldly. "If you don't want to come with Mama, then you'll never see Mama again!" snapped Alma.
Asya's eyes widened for a moment. Her heart seemed to stop beating when the hurtful words came out of her own mother's mouth. Asya then lowered her face with a sad expression.
On the other hand, after saying those words, Alma felt regret. Especially when she realized the look on Asya's face that looked so gloomy. However, this was what he should have said. Can't take it anymore. It would also be nice if she explained to Asya the reason why she decided to force Asya to come live with her at her employer's house.
"Asya ...," called Alma trying to soften her voice. Even though Alma knew, it couldn't fix Asya's bad mood because of it. "Listen Mama, if you continue to live in this rented house alone, Mama won't be able to calm down." Alma started to explain. This made Asya slowly look at her mother and try to listen to her explanation.
"Lately, the rent for this rent continues to rise. While Mama's salary is almost a quarter to pay the rent for this house. Next year, you will also start entering the twelfth grade, of course the money for the exam and monthly must be prepared from now on, Asya, " continued Alma trying to explain so that Asya understands.
Asya clenched her teeth tightly, then clenched her fists. "If that's the reason Mama forced me to stay at Mama's employer's house, even without my permission, why didn't Mama just find me a job?" asked Asya looking at Alma seriously. "I can work part time, and can pay a little for my school and daily needs. I can do it, Mom!"
"I can't, Asya," said Alma quickly. "Do you think, letting you live here alone, letting you work part time, do you think Mama will let you go and abandon you? Of course not, because of that, Mama decided to take you to stay at Mama's employer's house. It's not that Mama doesn't want to understand, Sya. It's just that, Mama also doesn't want to let you continue to live alone in a rented complex that is prone to crime. Mama is always worried all the time. Mama has told you this many times. This time, for enough times, Mama please, come with Mama. Nothing is wrong at Mama's employer's house, so don't worry," Alma asked sincerely.
Asya closed her eyes tightly. Confusion overtook him. Damn, what should Asya do? Honestly, Asya really doesn't like it when she has to stay at her employer's house. She will not be free, and of course every day will see her mother getting scolded by his master. But strangely, her mother still persisted.
Asya revealed Alma with a feeling of sadness, but when she saw Alma's hopeful expression, Asya didn't want to disappoint her. This time, Asya refused, enough times that Asya disappointed Alma. The girl took a deep breath. His lips were heavy, it was difficult to make a decision.
"Okay, I have no choice," said Asya in a low voice.
Hearing this, Alma immediately smiled happily, he grabbed Asya's hand and held it tightly. "Thank goodness, Asya," She muttered. "Mama has spoken with the contract mother earlier. And already gave the last rent. In the afternoon, we will go to Mama's employer's house. Now, please help Mama for everything," said Alma quickly while waiting and starting to continue her activities before leaving.
On the other hand, Asya was just silent about leaking Alma who seemed so happy with Asya's decision.
"I feel, half-hearted to comply with Mama's wishes. But I hope this is the right decision. And I won't regret it one day." She muttered in a small voice that Alma didn't hear at all.

Asya's footsteps stopped, right in front of a majestic house with a large green lawn. Her eyes is not tired of just glancing here and there, as if admiring all the angles that are there.
Modern architectural building but displayed simply. The front garden is spacious and very comfortable, as wide as a field. The sky was stretched out and seen clearly. Asya's mouth opened slightly unconsciously, the girl flinched slightly when Alma awakened her daydream.
"Asya." She called which immediately made Asya glance at him. "Let's go in, through the back door," said Alma, pulling Asya's hand. Reflexively, Asya followed the steps where Alma was driving. Until Alma took out a key from his shirt pocket and put it in a hole in the door. After opening it, Alma pulled a large suitcase containing Asya's belongings, followed by Asya who followed behind like a duck following its mother.
Asya again gasped and silently leaked out the entire contents of the room that she was now on. The rooms were so spacious. She don't know what this room is which is clear, really magnificent, spacious and comfortable.
"This is a local servant. You can stay here," said Alma when she realized Asya's expression was the same as before.
Asya glanced at her mother, frowning. "Local maid? Does this mean that only servants can enter this room?" asked Asya surprised.
"Right. You can say that. Because the ladies and gentlemen of this house rarely enter this area. Except Mr. Arman," She explained.
"Arman?" asked Asya for the second time.
"The Great Lord of this house. This is Mr. Arman's house. He usually comes to this room once a week, just to check the reports from the servants," he explained.
Asya felt her mother's answer was quite satisfactory. It's just that, in the mind there is still a lot of curiosity. The spacious room certainly does not only contain the usual facilities, like an apartment, all the furniture is so complete. Television room, bathroom, dishwasher, and some other equipment. Even though it doesn't look luxurious and looks simple, Asya feels that this special room for servants is worthy of being called a house in the house. Yes, Asya admits this spacious house seems to contain many rooms and luxurious furniture. Just seeing the contents of the maid's room made Asya gape, especially the special room for the employers.
"You still want to know this place? Then, Mama went to the room first, it was in the corner of the room. You'll find out later, just ask the other maids if you have trouble finding Mama," said Alma as she pulled Asya's suitcase to her room.
Asya did not nod, nor did she glance at Alma. The girl subconsciously stepped forward while looking around. She headed for the stairs, which connected him upstairs. One by one, Asya climbed the stairs, until the girl's steps stopped on the second floor, the same room as the floor below. The difference is, the second floor is full of rooms. And there seems to be no one there. Because, the area is so quiet, and the doors are tightly closed.
If only Asya was in a tense atmosphere, Asya agreed that the second floor she was currently occupying was a floor that seemed horror. Asya walked briskly forward, down the hallway between the rooms, and finally arrived at the balcony of the second floor. The wind blew very hard when Asya opened the door that was connected to the balcony. Asya immediately opened her eyes.
Tracks! Tracks! Tracks!
Asya frowned, when she heard strange noises from the roof beside the balcony, with narrowed eyes she approached, and tried to clearly see what was the cause of the strange noises.
And suddenly Asya was wide-eyed, her eyes wide open with her mouth ready to scream loudly. In front of him, there was a person in a black hoodie walking on the roof and trying to get to him. Asya couldn't hold back her surprise anymore.
"AAAAAAAAA!" She shouted loudly.
