15. We are both Servants

Amira arrived at her house safely with an escort from Andi. She stopped her motorbike in the courtyard of the luxurious house she shared with several servants.

"May I come in?"

Amira looked at Andi who was still studying the environment where Amira lived. The luxury house that Amira lives in looks very quiet even though it is in the middle of the city.

"Em, you can only take me. If you want to come in, I forbid."

"Why?"

Amira took a deep breath. she never allowed anyone to enter her house except women. Some of her friends even stayed several times, but not with male friends. It does limit association with men. Her father forbade her to be alone with men. She told Andi about Khalid's persecution of her because she had a specific purpose.

"I don't want people to think I'm using you. Then, I'm not sure that my employer will let me bring friends."

"Employer?'

"Yes.'

"What do you mean?"

"You think I live here in my house? This is the house of my mother's employer, Andi. An empty house that no one happens to occupy because the Sultan does not allow anyone to live here. The Sultan asked my parents to wait for the house"

Andi looked at Amira then nodded. he did not think that Amira was the daughter of a court servant who only served to occupy the house. At first, he thought that Amira was the owner of the mansion in front of him.

Andi smiled to hide his disbelief at the story of the girl who had made his boss curious from the start. He also goes on a mission, but he doesn't want to be close to Amira at all because of Khalid's orders. Andi feels very curious about the life of Amira, Mutia's cousin who has been very interested in him from the start.

Andi was interested because Amira was different from the girls he had known so far. he wanted her to be his lover but he refused. He didn't want to be his boss' rival.

"I still can't believe you're a servant's daughter."

"Why?"

Amira began to worry. She didn't want Andi to push herself too hard to believe all her stories, but she wanted Andi to leave her at home. She wanted Andi to go and let herself in.

"Yes, I can't believe it if I haven't seen with my own eyes that you are a servant in the sultan's palace."

Amira smiled. she thought of a way to make Andi truly believe in everything. She looked around, looking for a servant, and was about to ask him to act in front of Andi, but she failed. Not a single person passed in front of her. Amira frustrated then rubbed her face slowly. She looked at Andi who was still staring at her.

"Don't lie because I know you're looking for a way to make me believe you're a servant girl."

Andy smiled. he stepped towards the gazebo in the corner of the yard, trying to wait for Amira's reaction to her request to let him into the house. Amira who had no other choice finally followed Andi to the gazebo.

"Are you going to wait for my parents to come home from the palace? Fine. I will accompany you here"

Andy took a deep breath. He sits in the gazebo and takes his cell phone. He saw a message from Khalid asking him to come to the headquarters, but he immediately ignored it. After seeing Khalid molesting Amira, he no longer has any desire to remain as Khalid's assistant who has the special task of supervising the girl.

Amira looked at the movements of Andi who was typing a message with his eyebrows furrowed together. Sweat was visible on his face. Amira wanted to guess what happened to the man in front of her, but she immediately refused. This time she prefers to remain silent and wait for Andi to finish with his business.

Amira finally took out her cellphone and looked at the condition of the inside of the house, trying to observe several waiters who were preparing food at the dining table through CCTV control on her cellphone. She smiled to herself.

"What makes you smile?'

Andi looked at Amira while occasionally trying to steal glances at Amira's cellphone screen. Amira immediately put the cellphone in her skirt pocket so Andi wouldn't see anything she opened.

"I'm smiling because I read the messages in the group. My friends are going to hold a charity bazaar. Are you going to join? I'm sure if you join everything will go smoothly. You've always been a source of financing, right?"

Andy nodded. he knew Amira just wanted to divert the conversation so that he would not continue his question.

"We've discussed everything about the bazaar and I'm looking for donors. Why are you diverting my question to discussing the bazaar?'

"What? Did We discuss the bazaar? When?"

"Even I'm sure that you pretended to forget everything."

Amira shook her head. she had completely forgotten that she had discussed the bazaar. Amira cupped her hands n, trying to apologize for her mistake.

"Then I'm sorry. I forgot that I discussed the bazaar with you."

"It's Ok. No problem. I'm sure you're having a serious problem that you forgot the conversation that just happened a few hours ago on campus."

Amir looked down. she regretted her stupidity which had awakened Andi's anger.

"I'll excuse myself first. I'll get you a drink."

"No need. I'm not going to drink. My boss asked me to come to base now. I'm afraid if he takes too long he will get angry and fire me."

"Your boss? Aren't you the boss?"

Andi looked at Amira. He investigated the truth of the expression of the girl in front of him. So far, he has never told anyone who he is, including Amira, the girl he always investigates and is now a college friend from one campus, even one major and one class. The difference is that Amira is in the regular class and Andi is in the parallel class.

"I am also a servant like you. I have an arrogant big boss.'

"Oh yeah? So then we're both servants huh?'

"The difference is I'm a real servant while you are servants."

"how?"

Andi smirked. He was disappointed by what he heard about Amira, but he didn't want to tell Amira about his feelings at all.

"You are servants because you are not a real servant. You were forced to become a servant because of your parents. You are a free person, right? The person who acts like a human being is free. That is if your story is true. If it is wrong, I don't know who you are."

"I am also a servant. Not a free person. If my father and mother become servants, I am also a servant, Andi. Don't think that I am a servant because after my father retires, I will replace father, right?"

"Okay. We are both servants. Then where is the fault of a servant? Don't feel inferior to the title of a servant because our boss will not be able to walk if we are not around. The proof is this. My boss asked me to come and discuss the problem, try if I don't come. my boss will succeed in carrying out his plan?"

Amira smiled. in her heart, she confirmed Andi's words about the role of a very important servant.

"Then it's not just the boss that's important, right? I'm also important"

"You know. Have you never thought about how important the role of your parents in the palace is?"

Amira shook her head. she knew all along she saw her servant as someone she and her family helped. She never thought that the employer was also indebted for the performance of the assistants and their loyalty.

"Okay then. I'll leave your house right away, er I mean your master's house now. I don't want to let your master know that you brought a stranger here. I'm afraid you'll be in trouble"

Amira nodded. inwardly she laughed at Andi's disappointed expression on her. Amira felt all her acting was successful. A few moments later Andi tried to get up and walked towards his car followed by Amira behind him.

"Don't you want a drink first?'

Andy shook his head. He was just about to open his car door when suddenly from the highway, an online motorcycle taxi entered. Andi waited for an online motorcycle taxi driver to park his motorbike and walked over to Amira.
