25. Call Me Padmasari

One week after being admitted to the hospital, Padmasari returned to Amurwa Bhumi's new home. The house, which was built several months ago, is now ready to be occupied. Andika, who just got out of the car, looked at the big house in front of hin. His eyes were wide, happy at the sight before him. Andika was really happy when he found a green forest around Amurwa's house.

"Is this Uncle's house? I can also stay here with you and Mommy?" Amurwa approached Andika, then nodded his head. He smiled as he stroked Andika's head.

"Of course we're going to live here together anyway. We can do anything here. You can explore and play comfortably without any disturbance from the people who work for your Papa, Andika. You have to grow up to be a tough human being without any intimidation from anyone. You can develop your talents according to my wishes with the guidance of your mother." Andika hugs Amurwabhumi. He was happy when he imagined the simple life he wanted all this time. He hopes that he can really fulfill all of Amurwa's dreams, becoming a great human being without being intimidated.

"Is Uncle the one who will accompany me to play all day?"

"Of course but not all day. I only have some free time. The rest I will work to provide for our needs. I know you have a lot of wealth but as a dignified man I cannot possibly rely on gifts only from your parents. I still have self-respect and I have to fight for our own lives. Don't you mind?"

Padmasari, who had seen the interaction between Andika and Amurwa, could only remain silent. She hopes that what Amurwa has said all this time will actually come true that Amurwa will not waste her child like her ex-husband.

Amurwa who saw Padmasari silent, then approached hier. He looked at Padmasari then he invited her to enter his house..

"Come Madam, please come in. I hope you can enjoy a new life in this simple house. The house that is not too big, which I built with my own hard work, I prefer to live in the house given by Mr. Kusuma which is in the city center. I hope you won't mind staying with me here."

Padmasari nodded and followed Amurwa and Andika's footsteps. When they entered the house there were no maids lining up to greet them like what they experienced while staying at Mr. Kusuma's house, but this made Padmasari feel relieved because she could be freed from Kusuma Wardhana's shackles. Upon entering the house they were greeted by a husband and wife who then extended their hand to help carry all the things from Amurwa Bhumi's hands.

"Welcome to this house, Master. I am Inah, a housemaid who works for Mr. Amurwa. Amurwa nodded at Inah's welcome. The one who brought master's bags was my husband named Tono. I hope Masters can stay comfortably in this house.

"Thank you for the help you gave me today, Inah. In the future we will live together not as servants and masters. You and I have the same position in this house." Inah nodded hearing what Padmasari said. She was happy because the new master was not as arrogant as the old master. The woman who looked very classy Padmasari had a very good character. She was friendly to her even though she was just a servant in Amurwa's house. Padmasari sat in the living room with Andika who was now starting to look tired after coming home from the hospital.

"Mommy I'm so sleepy can I sleep?" Padmasari looked at Amurwabhumi as if asking for help to answer Andika's question. Amurwa, who understood the meaning of Padmasari's view, immediately approached Andika and asked him to sit on his lap. Amurwa stroked Andika's head then whispered words that made Andika nodded her head agreeing to Amurwa Bhumi's request.

"Do you want to sleep here or in your room, Andika?"

"I want to sleep in my room if Uncle is around." Amurwa Bhumi then lifted Andika's body and carried him to the second floor where he had prepared a special room for Andika which was between his room and Padmasari's room. After entering Andika's room, Amurwa Bhumi immediately laid Andika's body on the bed. He then stroked Andika's back so that Andika fell asleep immediately.

Paddmasari who saw Amurwa Bhumi's behavior could only shed tears. She remembered Mr. Kusuma Wardana's explanation to him which said that Andika was not his flesh and blood. Padmasari felt that Mr. Kusuma was hiding something about her life. She did not have any memories of her previous life, except for only one memory of her time with Maira, best friend from high school.

After completing his activities to lull Andika to sleep, Amurwa Bhumi immediately came out of Andika's room. He was stunned to see Padmasari who was still standing in the middle of the door looking at him while crying. Amurwa immediately approached, then stretched out her hand and led Padmasari into her room. Padmasari could not do much except to follow what Amurwa did. Arriving in the room, Padmasari sat on her bed while Amurwa Bhumi sat downstairs holding hands and looking at Padmasari's face gently. "I will try to find out who you really are Padmasari." Padmasari frowned when she heard Amurwa Bumi call her by name without a mistress. She was surprised by Amurwa's new habit now that he prefers to call her Padmasari without Mrs. It made her feel a little relieved that there wouldn't be any distance between the both of them after this. Seeing the change in the face of Padmasari, Amurwa Bhumi was stunned. She felt that something was wrong with what he said. He was afraid that Padmasari would not like to be called by her name without a mistress because all this time she had been in the house of Mr. Wardhana's family as a big madam.

"I'm sorry, madam has been presumptuous of calling you by name only." Padmasari shook her head and smiled.

"It does not matter. I'd rather you just call my name without madam. I was just stunned watching you put Andika to sleep and heard you just say my name. Don't call Mrs. Call me Padmasari like before. That is if you don't mind."

Amura Bhumi nodded, then stroked the back of Padmasari's hand and stood up.

"I prefer the current Amurwa compared to Amurwa who is my ex-husband's ex-husband Kusuma Wardana."

"I and Mr. Kusuma Wardhana's right-hand man are the same person. It makes no difference at all. Why did you discriminate against me?" Padmasari smiles hearing Amurwa Bhumi's teasing. She felt embarrassed right now, being in a room alone with a man who was not her husband.
