My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 29

It's been two months since Anissa worked with Dodi's family. As time went on, Anissa was getting used to the situation and conditions in that place.

That afternoon, after returning home from work, Dodi relaxes in the front room with Arini and Azkia. In the last two months, Dodi's attitude towards Azkia has become even sweeter. He loved that little baby just as much as his own. In fact, not infrequently Dodi took him for a walk around the complex without feeling awkward and embarrassed again.

"Uh, Daddy's son is getting more and more sinter. Right, Mom." Dodi grabs Azkia from Arini's embrace and then kisses her tiny cheeks repeatedly.

Suddenly Anissa was present in the room with a tray containing two glasses of warm tea and a glass of sweet coffee for Dodi. The woman smiled then without hesitation grabbed Dodi's words just now.

"Yes, Mas Dodi. Azkia is a pinter. He's Mas Dodi's son" Anissa said as she placed the tea and coffee glasses she brought to the table. Right in front of Arini and Dodi.

Arini fell silent then looked at Dodi who looked completely wrong. Arini never told Anissa the origin of Azkia. So it's only natural that he thinks, if Anissa says that. While Dodi was also speechless and did not want to respond to Anissa's words just now.

"Diminum donk, Ms. Arini, Mas Dodi. The drink was specially made for you guys, you know," he said with a sweet smile staring at the couple.

Arini smiled a faint smile at Anissa. "Thank you very much, Nis. You shouldn't bother like this. "

"Ehm, I want to go to the bathroom first." Dodi returns Azkia to Arini's arms and then breezes away.

"Well, the coffee's not drunk, is it?" arini asked who seemed uncomfortable because Dodi left the place without touching the coffee made by Anissa in the slightest. Anissa's expression changed. What once seemed so happy, suddenly became sad.

"Later. I've been saved," replied Dodi who finally omitted from Arini and Anissa's sight.

"I'm sorry, Dodi, Nis. Mas Dodi really likes it so," said Arini.

"Ah, it's okay, Ma'am. I don't mind that, you know!" anissa replied with a bitter smile.

Dinner arrived, everyone gathered in the room, including Anissa. When Bu Nining wanted to take the rice pitcher, Anissa rushed to pick it up first.

"here, Mom. Let Nissa help you" Anissa said with a warm smile.

"Eh, no, Nis. I can do it myself, really," said Ms. Nining. However, Anissa did not care, she still served the middle-aged woman.

While Anissa was busy serving Bu Nining, Dodi and Arini fell silent while watching the woman. Deep down in Arini's innermost heart, he was truly envious.

Not once two, Arini tried to be nice to her mother-in-law. However, instead of getting the same treatment, the opposite is true. Ms. Nining will be annoying and will not stop rebuking her. The reason Bu Nining did just that was one, 'Arini barren'.

"Thank you very much, Anissa. You are a dream woman. I'm sure, whoever will be your husband later, that man will be the luckiest man in the world" said Bu Nining who deliberately said that to touch Arini's heart.

"Ah, I can," Anissa replied while blushing in shame.

Dodi tries not to listen to the two women's chatter and he starts grabbing the plate and wants to fill it with food. Yet again Anissa looked for face. The woman grabbed Dodi's hand and then said.

"Ah, here's Mas Dodi. Let me help you" said Anissa, trying to fill Dodi's plate with rice.

"It's not necessary, Anissa. Just let me! I'm his wife. You'd better sit down and enjoy your dinner," sidelines Arini while seizing the rice pitcher from Anissa's hand and then put the rice on Dodi's plate.

"Ehm, okay, Ma'am. Sorry," Anissa said as she sat back in her chair.

While Dodi smiled with satisfaction, the man looked very happy. "Thank you, dear."

"Either. Eat a lot, Mom." Arini also complements the rice with a complete side dish.

"Jeez, Arini. Actually Anissa's intention was good, why are you acting like that? He just wants to help Dodi" said Bu Nining with a bent face.

"It's not so, Mom. I'm Mas Dodi's wife, I don't deserve to let another woman serve him. I'm sorry, Anissa. I didn't mean to offend you" Arini said.

"It's okay, Ma'am. Ma'am really, anyway, really," said Anissa with a sad face.

"Hell, just tell me you're jealous, right?!" continued Ms. Nining.

"Mom, stop! We're sitting in front of the windfall, can't you make peace for a while?" pissed Dodi.

"You should have told that to your wife, Dodi. Not the same Mom," said Ms. Nining.
