The Woman in the Heart of the Adjutant

Chapter 24

My mom is conscious, Buk. It's just, mamak is like an undead. Can only open your eyes. Just lying on the bed" explained Acha briefly before his speech was cut.

"Your stomach hurts, son?" cut off Eligius' mother.

"Yes, Mom. Falling down the stairs." Acha pointed towards the stairs. "His blood vessel broke."

Acha sat on the floor, while the others sat on the sofa. It seems that Eligius's gestures don't like that.

"Mom, Sir. With this I beg you to leave, not to work in this house again."

Eligius raised his eyes. 

"With such mammoth conditions, it will only add to the burden of Ibuk and Bapak. Mamak can no longer do anything," continued Acha explained.

"You can do it" cut Adeline.

"If you get out of this house, what about your living expenses? If you get a job right away. Then when you work who's keeping your mom at home?" If you hear Venita talk, everything feels peaceful.

"Ah, at most he asks for the same cost as the husband of people," Adeline said.

"No, kok. I'm not, Non Adel." Acha shook her head.

This conversation is starting to heat up.

"You can't go anywhere. If you want to get out of here, change all the money my papi has left to pay for your school and college!"

"Sa-sa-me where there is that much money, Non," said Acha lirih.

From the corner of the eye, Acha could see that Eligius was looking towards him continuously. 

"You're poor, so don't be too much of a whim!" adeline Banged.

"You just take Sartika to this house again. Your room and main house are also separate, so it won't bother." 

Acha was already unable to say anything more when Mother Venita had already spoken. He just resigned.

"When is Sartika allowed to go home?" ask Mr. Malvyn.

"Today, sir," replied Acha.

"Later you invite Mang Yusuf to pick up Sartika, now you first clean the room!" mr. Malvyn's orders.

"Yes, sir." Acha stood up and slightly bowed her body. He walked into the kitchen.

Not a single moment did he look back even though his heart was eager to look towards Eligius.

Finally Acha and Mang Yusuf picked up Sartika. Sartika was put to sleep on the back bench with Acha's thigh as his pillow. The body of Sartika is stiff.

"If Acha is alone, sometimes Acha thinks, why does not God just pick up the mother. If this pity mamak life more tormented," muttered Acha in the car and occasionally he stroked the hair Sartika.

Acha now replaces Sartika's job all cooking and cleaning Adeline's room was her main task. To clean the house and wash clothes is another assistant task.

Today H-1 wedding of Eligius and Adeline. There is no activity that is striking because all has been handled by the wedding organizer (WO).

"What do you want for breakfast?" acha asked her mother Eligius, who had stopped by the kitchen at the time.

"Mom's not good, just drink warm water!"

"Mother's in the wind maybe. Acha make ginger wedang want?" tawar Acha's.

"Can." 

"Mother just wait in the dining room, later Acha inter. If you're here, Miss Adeline could be upset."

His mother Eligius–Risna, smiled. He catches that Acha is a good boy.

"Do you have a boyfriend, son?" 

Acha was surprised by the question.

Smiling Acha replied yet. Acha also took two slices of bread that she smeared with jam. 

"Eat the bread, yes, Mom!" Acha thrust out the plate that contained the bread earlier.

Suddenly Adeline's voice shocked Acha. He sent Acha back to the kitchen. Acha just obeyed adeline's orders because she didn't want to make trouble with Malvyn's sole heir.

Anxious, Acha sat at the end of the bed where Sartika lay. At that time Sartika looked at Acha with a gentle look of a mother to her child. Looks like Sartika is feeling what Acha is feeling right now.

Acha was shocked when the door of the room was forcefully opened. It turned out that Adeline was already standing in the doorway of their room.

"I don't like you looking around for Kak El's parents' attention." Adeline's tone was full of anger as the lioness wanted to pounce on her prey.

"I am just doing my job as a maid, Miss Adeline," defended Acha whose body was already shivering with fear.

While Sartika wanted to shout but, she was unable to. Only a faint sounding moan.

"Eligius will be my husband tomorrow. Don't look for attention!" Adeline's hand is now firmly attached to Acha's hair.

"Sick, Non," whined Acha who tried to release Adeline's hand grip on her hair.

"ill? It's not how much. Dare to approach El or his family. You'll regret it forever" Adeline threatened to release the jubilant on Acha's head while pushing Acha's body until she fell near Sartika's body. 

The night after the incident, Acha no longer dared to look at Eligius or his mother. He always looked down while serving them dinner.

"Tomorrow Adeline's getting married, can you help out at her wedding?" ask Venita's mother to Acha.

"Sa-sa-I would love to, Mom. But, pity you've got to stay alone." Acha tried to find an excuse to refuse.

"Yes, already. You're home!" This time Mr. Malvyn spoke up.

Acha was sitting outside the room when it was getting late, I don't know what happened to her heart. However, he knows that he is not happy with the news of Eligius and Adeline's marriage.

"Not sleeping yet, Cha?" 

Eligius' voice shocked Acha. He stood up and left, he tried to dodge, not wanting to be caught by Adeline.

"Don't go, Cha!" Eligius grabbed Acha's hand and pulled it.

Now Acha is right in the arms of Eligius.

"Detach, Brother. Someone will see!" please Acha in a whispering voice.

"Leave it just this once, Cha!" 

At that time, Eligius said what he had been silent about. For many years he harbored a love for Acha. She never imagined it would be like this end of love huh again. 

"Why don't you fight?" lirih Acha who is still in the arms of Eligius.

In addition to the reasons for Acha and her mother's safety, Eligius is also unlikely to convert.

"I will never take you from your Lord" murmured Eligius.

"But your greater salvation is considered" continued Eligius.

Eligius put his nose on the top of Acha's nose. Actually this is often done when Acha is sad. Then Acha will laugh again.

Now Acha has been able to release the embrace of Eligius.

"Forget that taste!" Acha left Eligius, who was still in the cold of the night.

Being poor is indeed a delicious meal for arrogant money people. It was as if they could buy the entire earth. Set the path of life of others so that the path of his life is always smooth. No matter what they hurt, their hearts are always happy.

Defeating to the proud man is a safe way for the poor if he still wants to survive peacefully. No matter his heart ache origin stomach could still be filled three times a day.
