My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 138

Arini opens the car door, then rushes over to Tia and the Princess who are still unaware of her existence. While Mr. Malik really did not want to see Tia. He chose to wait and monitor inside the car.

"Daughter," call Arini.

Tia and Princess turned. The princess developed her smile after knowing who had just called her name.

"Well, Aunt Arini!" peek Putri while releasing her hand grip to Tia then ran small towards Arini.

"Loh! How, Auntie, anyway?" Arini welcomed the arrival of the Princess who approached her while crouching.

"The end of Aunt is still too young if the Princess calls Oma," said the Princess while chuckling.

"Ish, Princess! Oh yeah, where's the princess going?" arini asked quietly while smilingly looking at the Princess.

While Tia was just silent and did not move a bit from her original position. He looked at Arini with a sad and regretful face. However, he did not dare to reveal it. Besides being embarrassed, Tia was also afraid that Arini could not forgive her.

"Mommy said we'd pay a visit to the opa house and stay there for a while. Until that horrible om-om comes home" said the Princess innocently.

"Om-om dreadful? Who're they?" Arini was so curious to hear the little boy's explanation.

"The princess also doesn't know who they are. Suddenly the terrible Om-om comes and takes the Princess home. Mommy said that if the om-om had come home, we had just returned there," he said.

"Daughter!" tia insisted that the Princess stop telling the matter to Arini.

Arini looked towards Tia while knitting her brows. "What does the Princess say, Tia? And who are they that the Princess refers to?"

"Ehm, that's ...."

"Well!" Suddenly the Princess shouted in excitement as her two neutrals caught the figure of Mr. Malik who had just exited the car.

Tia stopped her words. He noticed the Princess running quickly towards Mr. Malik. Mr. Malik crouched down and waited for the arrival of the little girl then hugged her tightly.

"Well! Princess kangen Opa."

"Yes, Opa also misses the Princess. By the way, where are the princesses going these nights?" asked Mr. Malik while tidying up every strand of hair attached to the cheeks of the little girl.

"To Opa's house," replied the Princess quickly. "Gpa ...."

"Hmm." Mr. Malik is still staring closely at the two eyes of the Princess.

"Please get rid of the evil om-om who took the Princess' house, Opa. They're evil! They like to push the Princess' body. The princess until she fell down made, Opa," he chirped with a sullen face.

Suddenly the calm face changed. Mr. Malik frowned then looked towards Tia with a serious look.

Mr. Malik grabbed the Princess' hand and led her towards Arini and Tia who had been silent since then while watching the two of them.

"Who is the evil om-om that the Princess meant?" asked Mr. Malik to Tia so seriously.

Tia was bowed while squeezing the two hands in turns. His face looked anxious and he was at a loss how to explain everything to Mr. Malik.

"Ehm, that's .. They were Kasim's men. The most famous loan shark in our neighborhood, Dad."

"Easim Juragan? Then what are they doing in your house?" Mr. Malik is still curious.

Tia glanced at Arini for a moment then refocused on Mr. Malik. The clear liquid suddenly poured heavily on both of his cheeks. He also apologized to Mr. Malik.

"I'm sorry, Dad. All this time I've never trusted your word about Mas Toni's behavior and now ...." Tia could not tell him anymore, she was bowed with a trembling shoulder, down.

Mr. Malik breathed a long breath. "You better get in the car, we'll talk about this at home." Mr. Malik again led the Princess and took her into the car. Arini and Tia followed behind.

Arini continued to watch Tia who was still walking with her head down. He had seen bruises on the nose area and the corner of Tia's lips that looked blue. Arini was eager to ask that, but she was afraid that Tia would be offended.

Tia sat next to Mr. Kosim. While the Princess sits between Mr. Malik and Arini.

"Opa, Princess's stomach hurts! The princess is hungry, since last noon the Princess has not eaten," he lamented to Mr. Malik as he stroked her little belly.

Mr. Malik and Arini were able to throw a glance at each other for a few seconds.

"It just so happens that we're also looking for food. So, let's eat together. How, Princess agrees, no?" ask Arini while gently stroking the Princess's shoulder.

"Yes, the Princess agreed!" he answered with great enthusiasm. While Tia did not speak a word. She was ashamed, really embarrassed.

Mr. Malik asked Mr. Kosim to stop at a restaurant and they ate there together. The princess enthusiastically chose her dinner menu. While Tia let Mr. Malik choose for her.

"What about you?" asked Mr. Malik while smiling wryly looking at Arini.

Arini is confused as to what to choose. While the fried rice that he craved, back into wishful thinking.

"Just like Mas Malik."

Mr. Malik gently stroked Arini's cheeks still with his trademark smile. "Let's find her next time. Ok?"

Arini also nodded slowly while returning Mr. Malik's smile.
