It was a very quiet night in the prospective nurses' dormitory and the hut where Keily lived. Inside Miss Big's hut, Sinta was sitting alone on the single sofa in the middle of massaging the surface of her forehead. It was clear that this woman was confused because Rika reported that the aides did not find the man who brought Keily. Then they don't know what the figure of the man is, only know the figure of the big lady.
This woman has been treated by Master Chang and Doctor Alan, now resting at Keily's hut. At this time she regretted herself for not paying enough attention to the lady, only asking the lady to learn this and that, then she tested the lady to find out how far the learning progress of the late Maria's daughter was.
She also regretted why she rarely asked the lady to talk like mother and daughter, so that the princess felt herself cold-hearted and strong. It cannot be fully blamed on her, because her status is the personal assistant of the late Maria who is in charge of caring for the little girl, giving her education, meeting her daily needs, and also managing the Kens Company and the boarding house for prospective nurses.
The tasks given by Winata and Maria were many and heavy, but they had to be done out of loyalty to these two people.
Now that the princess left the hut area without saying goodbye to her, how was she to account for this to Winata and Maria?
Rika enters the women's hut carrying a tray filled with dinner and medicine and is approached by the late Maria's assistant who rose to the rank of Chief Executive. Slowly the contents of the tray were transferred to Sinta's front desk.
"Kak Sinta." Rika reprimanded Sinta in a low voice, "Kakak, fill your stomach first, then drink the medicine."
"Just leave it on the table, Rika." Sinta's voice was heard accompanied by heavy sighs. She had lost his appetite by now, reluctant to even do anything, for her thoughts were on Keily.
Rika sighed, slowly sitting on the assistant's side. She understood how devastated this woman was who had been willing to become an old maid all her life to carry out all of Winata's and Maria's orders.
"Rika."
"Yes, kak?"
"Turns out I wasn't a good foster mom for Keily." Sinta expressed what was in her heart, where from the corner of her two beads tears began to roll, "I only asked her to study this and that, check her learning progress, ask what she needed, never invite her to chat like mother and child."
Hearing this, Rika burst into tears. She is just like Sinta, regretting herself for not being a good foster mother for Keily.
"Supposedly," Sinta's voice was still starting to hoarse from her small sobs, "I realized, Keily, the daughter of Mrs. Maria, had lost her madam, so I gave her a hug as a mother, not treating her like a bird who was educated to be able to sing a lot of beautiful songs or fly to and fro according to my orders."
Rika's tears started to well up, occasionally her right hand's finger wiped the tears that wet her face. This woman is a widow because 5 years ago she got married and left the hostel. However, her husband had an affair with another woman, divorced her, and forced her to return to the hostel.
"Forgive aunt, Kei, forgive aunt." Sinta begged Keily for forgiveness, "I know you always wanted to leave your hut, more than wanting to get to know the outside world, but you want to be free from this stressed aunt." She said softly, "Forgive aunt, Kei, forgive aunt."
Rika took this girl's right hand,
"It's already kak, don't continue like this." her voice was also heard, "The most important thing is that we keep looking for Kei, then bring her here, and we can start a new chapter with her."
"Rika, we don't know who that man is, whether Mr. Ethan or not. As for Mr. Ethan, I'm still relieved, because I heard from Kens Company business partners, he has good manners, although arrogant and cold-hearted towards women. Master Ethan must be taking good care of Kei."
"Kak," Rika quickly cut off Sinta's words, "Even though Mr. Ethan is kind, he is the only son of Mrs. Laura from Mr. Issac. If Mrs. Laura finds out Kei's identity, it will be a big danger for Kei."
"Identity as the daughter of the mistress, or the identity that she presumes is the daughter of master Issac?"
"Both of them. Mrs. Laura and Mr. Issac never knew that Kei's biological father was Mr. Theodore, Mr. Issac's cousin."
Sinta sighed, her mind grew chaotic, immediately stood up while turning her body towards the cottage door. Rika rushed to her feet and grabbed the woman's arm.
"Where are you going?"
"Meeting Master Ethan." Sinta replied firmly, "I want to make sure is it him that Kei is helping. Was he also the one who brought Kei out of this hut? If so, I will ask him to bring Kei here."
"Kak, it's not that easy for you to meet Mr. Ethan, because you will be directed to Mrs. Laura first."
"No way, I have the number of his assistant. I immediately contacted that person to ask if Mr. Ethan had returned to Mr. Issac's house."
"Where is Mr. Issac's house in Indonesia? His house is more than one."
"The house in Jakarta, the place that used to belong to Mrs. Maria, because Mr. Issac built the house specifically for Mrs."
"Kak, madam has died, the house must have belonged to Mrs. Laura."
"I don't care about that, the most important thing is finding Kei, bringing her home so she doesn't get hurt by Mrs. Laura."

Ethan was about to knock on the door of a room in his luxury pavilion, where it was given to Keily. He didn't place her in the inner servants' mess, but next to his room. That's not all the doctor gave to Keily. There are two ladies maids and two aides to take care of and look after the big miss.
Even in this pavilion, Keily was not just the second's assistant, but the young lady who the doctor protected because for him, the lady was the goddess of his life. Then this young master ordered Gandy to provide all the personal needs of the miss as completely as possible.
How lucky this girl was because she was highly appreciated by Issac's second son without her even asking. Even though when he was still at the hut, the man had said that the lady could ask for anything, he would have fulfilled it. But as soon as they arrived at the pavilion, this young master provided grand miss living facilities in luxury.
"Young master!" Bina's voice, one of the maids chosen by Ethan to take care of the lady, "Sorry young master." she rushed to the young master who didn't knock on the door of the lady's room, "Are you looking for Miss Keily?"
"Yes." The young master replied, "Is she asleep yet?" the maid asked as she looked at the woman in surprise, "If so why didn't you and Zelfa stand guard in her room? If she wakes up needing something, should she get it herself?" he scolded her why not carrying out his orders to be by Keily's side, "So where are Juan and Lukas?" was asked a question to the lady-in-waiting because he did not see two aides standing guard in front of the lady's room.
Bina, hearing all this, became sour, because according to Issac's rules, male family members were given one personal assistant, two maids, and two assistants, while women were given two maids and two assistants.
Ethan placed Keily as a special goddess by his side, so he was given two maids and two aides, who were always on duty at the lady's side.
"Gandy!" Ethan heard a loud voice calling his assistant, "Gandy!"
"I, young master!" the assistant's answer sounded, whereupon his figure also appeared hurrying to approach the young master. "Gandy is coming, sir."
Ethan looked at the assistant angrily, "Why aren't the maid and aid on duty as I ordered, hmm? Kei is new here, Bina and Zelfa should accompany and serve her. Then Juan and Lukas looked after her. Kei is my life-saving goddess, so take good care of her!" got hit by the assistant.
"Yes young master," Gandy understood that this young master wanted the best for the goddess. "I will guide them again so they can do the job well from you."
"Good." Ethan became relieved, "Bina!" he turned to Bina, "Is Kei sleeping yet?"
"Not yet sir."
"She's in her room?"
"In the garden, sir."
"Which garden?"
"I don't know, sir. Earlier after she took a shower and changed clothes, said she wanted to go to the park, we don't have to accompany her."
"Good grief!" Ethan hearing this became nervous, "Can you work? She's new here, and doesn't know how many gardens are in my pavilion yet!" Bina scolded again, "Gandy!" he called out to Gandy.
"I am, sir." Gandy sighed, "Sir, calm down because earlier I bumped into the lady on the stairs. Miss is asking where the garden is. I explained all the garden locations here to her." He said because he had met the lady earlier, the lady asked where the garden was because she wanted to enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
"So which garden did she go to? Why don't you call those four caretakers to accompany her?"
Gandy hearing this sighed. He was about to do that but saw the lady wanted to be alone in the back garden which is next to the main dining room. This lady asked which garden is the most beautiful and comfortable for her to see the night sky. He answered the park then drove there, then left.
"Hais, is not good at work!" came Ethan's irritated voice, "Which garden is she at now?" Gandy asked again.
"Back garden, young master."
Ethan hurried off. Somehow he always wanted to be with this girl. He was also afraid of the wretched girl. Even though the pavilion was safe if Laura came and found out the girl was there, her mother's address would make the girl in trouble. The mother doesn't want a woman by Ethan's side, because she wants her son to marry Santana. Meanwhile, the child never liked Santana.
Santana, besides being evil like Laura, is also very free to have sex with any man his cousin wants. Makes his feel disgusted because he feels she is not maintaining honor as a woman.
While in the garden, the girl is seen sitting by the pool, where her two feet are in the pool. Her two beautiful light brown beads looked happy to see the night sky which was currently beautifully lit by the full moon. She was reminded of Baba and Sari. The two guys, every full moon, would take them to the riverbank in the backyard of her hut. Then their feet were left submerged in the river water, their eyes admiring the beauty of the full moon.
At that time they also made games such as guessing songs, chess wei qi, and even carrom. The activity was complemented by some snacks and cold drinks. It's fun.
"Baba." her voice was low, "How are you now? Does Aunt Sinta know you told me and Ethan to leave the hut? Did Aunt punish you?" she wondered what was happening to Baba right now, "Sari, how about you too? You must be surprised I disappeared from the hut. You also have to be asked by Aunt Sinta where I am. Will Aunt punish you too because I know you will tell the truth that I helped Ethan?"
Unbeknownst to the lady, Ethan came hastily into the garden. The two men's eyes roamed this vast garden which contained not only various expensive ornamental plants but also a swimming pool and pavilion. Then on the right side of the garden, there is a tennis court. On the left is a basketball court. The two courts were built by Issac for his son, who loves tennis and basketball.
The doctor was surprised when he found Keily, because the girl went down into the pool, then walked to the middle of the deepest part of the pool. He hastily took his cell phone out of his shorts pocket, placed it on the terrace tiles, then darted into the pool screaming,
"Keily!"
