"Oh, this is your beautiful boss, Jodi?"
"Mom! Sshh! " Jodi scolded her mother.
Putri smiled somberly still with her eyes moist. Even so, her beauty radiated from her face even though she was covered in tears starting to dry out.
The six-by-ten-meter house with two simple small rooms seems to be Putri's resting place tonight. Jodi and her mother offered to eat with her, but she refused on the pretext of being full. She hasn't eaten yet. It's just that her appetite has been lost.
"This is my room. Actually, my little room. Is it ok for you if you sleep here?" asked Jodi.
Princess nodded slowly. She followed into the room after Jodi had put her suitcase away first.
"Have some rest, ok?" asked Jodi as she walked back out of the room.
"Thank you, Jodi."
Putri never imagined that she would stay in the tiny house owned by her cleaning service. Instead, she stared at the room's ceiling, still with sobs that were hard to stop because the disgusting incident had not disappeared from her memory.
Early the following day, a noisy noise from the direction of the kitchen sounded and awakened Putri. The distinctive aroma of onions and dishes wafted into the room, causing the worms in her stomach to struggle. Mrs Siti was cooking and was helped by her neighbours because there were also the voices of several people chatting.
Princess came out of Jodi's room, rubbing her eyes intermittently and went towards the source of the sound.
"Are you awake, ma'am? Here, drink some warm fresh tea first so that your body feels good," said Jodi as he gave her a cup of tea.
Putri was amazed when some menu serves on the table. How could he not? This kind of menu she never ate, at least for almost as long as she lived. Except, you know. There are kale vegetables, fried tofu, salted fish, shrimp paste, and not to forget the plots put on Putri's plate.
After all, Jodi and her Mother saved Putri from last night's injury. But, unfortunately, she had to try the food because she didn't hesitate to refuse.
She devoured the food with eyes that she closed slightly. Then, when her food entered the oesophagus, Putri's eyes opened and moved around as if she hadn't expected anything.
"How about it, how is it delicious?" asked Mrs Siti with her eyebrows, ups and downs.
"It's delicious, Mam. It's delicious!" said Putri with her mouth full.
Embarrassed by the natural reaction just now, she suddenly fell silent and lowered her head in shame. Seeing this, Jodi and Mrs Siti burst into laughter, and Putri chuckled lightly, holding back the embarrassment.
"Ma'am Putri, aren't you going to work?" asked Jodi, already wearing a blue uniform that read Happy Hospital.
"Not yet, Jod. My mind was messed up again. I'll let the office staff know if I'm off practice first."
"Ok, Ma'am. If that's the case, I'll leave first, ok? Take care of your health. If there is anything, don't hesitate to ask mom for help," explained Jodi.
"Thanks. Umm, may I ask for one request? Don't call me Mam anymore. Just call me Putri. At least, as long as it's outside our workplace."
"Well, ok Ma'am, uh, Putri. I'm leaving first," Jodi replied embarrassedly.
Jodi passed by on his bike.
Overnight, Putri didn't activate her cellphone because of what? No one is looking for it. At most, the monster will call her if she needs help finding the flirty women he will date. Only one person was in her mind at this time. Andi.
'Should I call him and ask for help? Will he care about me?' said the monologues, Putri, silently. The real question she already knew the answer to. It's just that she convinced himself that she would remember her even if it was only a little bit.
To forget all about her problems, she tried to watch tv in Jodi's house living room with Mrs Siti, who was smoothing the clothes.
"Mrs Siti, can I ask you something?" Putri asked.
"Sure. What is it?" retorted Mrs Siti.
"Jodi is your only child?" Putri asked again.
"Jodi has a sister. But when he was twelve months old, she died of high fever."
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, ma'am."
"It's ok. That incident has been a long time."
"What about Jodi's father?"
"His father died exactly a month after the Jodi was born."
Putri was speechless at that. Mrs Siti and Jodi experienced the worst thing nearby. She couldn't expect what it would be like to be Mrs Siti. Out of concern, Putri then held Mrs Siti's hand with a look of emotion.
"You're a strong woman," Putri said quietly.
Mrs Siti just smiled at what Putri said. Everything had passed so long that she had forgotten what crying was like.
"What about you? What just happened to you?" asked Mrs Siti.
Putri told Jodi's mother everything. She felt she was very comfortable telling the middle-aged woman about her life.
"I tell you something, everything that happens to you, he still your parent. You wouldn't be so great without their prayers, Put." Mrs Siti said, giving advice.
"I don't know. I don't want to meet that female-loving monster again."

During this time, Siska felt that her body was fit. So, it's lovely to think she stole time to see her lover. She intends to bring Andi food for lunch later by bringing a box of lunch containers.
"Hmmm, from the smell, it's so fragrant. So you cooked all of this?" asked Andi.
"Yes," Siska replied coldly.
Seeing Siska's suddenly strange attitude, Andi was amazed. There's no wonder. It's just that he pretended to be calm. Siska has been like this since she diverted Siska's question about someone who drove her to the office earlier.
"What's your friend?" asked Siska flatly as she poured rice on Andi's plate.
"That is Fifi. You remember, right? The one we met in the café yesterday," Andi said.
"Oooh, why don't you tell me? This morning you said, you will go directly to the office."
"Ah, yes. Fifi didn't pick me up because she wanted to ask for help on business. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
The two continued to eat lunch together. However, the look on Siska's face was slightly different from usual. Then, perhaps, she felt something. Soon, the person who was talking suddenly appeared.
"Hey, Ndi! Where are you going? I haven't hung out in a café with the kids for a long time."
"Yes, I'm busy, Fi," Andi replied in a panic.
"Uh there's Siska too? How are you, Sis?" asked Fifi again.
"Good. Fifi, you didn't get out of here, did you?"
