10. Andika's Frustration

In Kusuma's house, Padmasari was cleaning herself in the bathroom. several times she felt very weak, her head was dizzy, her eyes were dizzy and her stomach was very nauseous. This is the first day he is getting her period, so she is reluctant to do other activities besides lying on her soft bed. All day she did nothing until her head felt very heavy. After finishing her activities, Padmasari immediately went out to her dressing room, changed clothes that were wet with cold sweat and then lay back down on the bed. Andika, who had just come home from school, approached his mother. His face looked very worried seeing his mother's pale face. He reached out his hand, trying to check his mother's forehead, making sure that her mother was not okay. "Mommy, why are you so pale?' Padmasari who had just laid down just shook her head. She did not want to tell Andika that his body was not feeling well. He didn't want Andika to worry about his health. So far, only Andika knows how to treat Padmasari. Mr. Kusuma, her husband, doesn't care about her at all. He will only ask himself to serve in bed regardless of how Padmasari feels and condition.

"I am tired, Andika. I am so tired. It feels so good. . . ."

"What do you want, Mommy? Let Andika tell Uncle Murwa that you want to go for a walk." Padmasari looked at her son in disbelief. She wonders why Andika prefers to report her situation to Amurwa rather than to his father. She knew her son was upset. Several times asking his father to pay attention to his mother, instead of being received well, he actually received harsh treatment.

"I don't want to harm Amurwa, son. He works here under pressure or out of joy we don't know. What I want is for Amurwa to do his job because he is really happy and enjoying it." Andika nodded, hearing Padmasari's wish. After putting down all the school supplies, he approached his mother. He stroked his mother's back with full affection. There was a feeling of worry in her if his mother got seriously ill. He is afraid that his mother will die and that after his mother's death there will be a new mother who will replace her in his father's heart.

"Mom, don't be sick. I am afraid." Padmasari looked down at her son's face. She saw Andika's fear and immediately got up. She hugged her son and he stroked gently.

"There's no need to be afraid, honey. Even though Papa doesn't want me, I will still fight to live for you. Even though I am sick now, I will always be there for you. Come on now, eat first. Let me accompany you." Andika shook his head. He immediately released himself from his mother's arms.

"Let me eat alone downstairs, Mami. I don't want you to get sick because you are tired of taking care of and accompanying me."

"Yes, come on, eat first. I don't want you to be sick. we must be healthy, honey so as not to trouble Papa. If we get sick, Papa will always say that we are a burden to him and will always be the ones who will spend his money."

"Yes, Mommy." Andika walked away from his mother to the dining room on the first floor. He stepped cautiously, looking around the room from the second floor. After everything was safe, he immediately descended the stairs and stepped into the dining room ignoring the waiters who greeted him.

"Young Master, you want to eat? Let me prepare, okay?"

"Yes, Minah. I will wait here." Minah immediately ran to the kitchen to get Andika's dish and brought it to the dining room immediately. She didn't want to make Andika wait long. Minah immediately put the cutlery in front of Andika. She deftly picked up the food and placed it on his Young Master's plate. Andika , who got the best service from Minah, immediately reached into his pocket and took something from it and handed it to Minah.

"This is for you, Minah. Thank you for being loyal to me." Minah was stunned to get what Andika extended to her.

"What is this, Young Master?"

"Tip to my best maid. Take it! Do not hesitate"

"B-but, Young Master. I have been paid by Mr. Kusuma's. The salary is good, Young Master." Andika waved her hand away from Minah who refused his gift. He was really annoyed that the waiter didn't want to take the tip he gave her at all.

"Don't be angry, Young Master. I just don't want to be seen as a servant who likes to take other people's rights."

"I gave you. You didn't ask for it, Minah. If you don't like it I'll ask Papi to fire you right now." Minah looked down. She regretted all her stupidity, refusing her Young Master's gift even though no one had ever received attention like her from Andika.

"Do you still want to refuse?" Minah shook her head. She really saw the other side of Mr. Kusuma. Andika who is still young can make her vibrate and this is really imitating his father. Minah approached then looked down, her hand reached out to take the tip Andika placed on the dining table.

"Thank you, Young Master.. May your fortune increase and abound."

"Thank you for your prayers, Minah. I wish I could have my own business so I could give you more." Mina nodded. In her heart She prayed that Andika's wish would come true. Andika immediately took the utensils and began to feed the food into his mouth. He didn't want to waste his time on his mother who was still lying weakly in his bed. After finishing eating, Andika immediately ran to his mother's room and accompanied Padmasari who was sleeping with her back to him.

"Are you dizzy Mommy?" Padmasari shook her head. She was not at all dizzy from the pain. What is clear now is that she is hurt by the treatment of her husband who doesn't care about her every day.

"Mommy is tired of heart and mind, dear. Tired at home. I really want to be refreshed out of town or soak in the swimming pool all day so that the heart is cool, honey."

"I called Uncle okay?"

"Do not. Later Papa will be angry with Amurwa. Mommy doesn't want to get Amurwa into trouble, Andika." Andika nodded. He took the phone which he had placed in his desk drawer and opened the WhatsApp application. He sent a message to Amurwa and asked how Amurwa was today.

"Uncle, how are you?' After a few minutes Andika's message could not be received by Amurwa. Until a few minutes later, the message that Andika sent still ticked one, but Amurwa had not received it. Andika threw his cell phone and lay his tired body on the bed close to his mother. He was really annoyed with Amurwa who was now getting further and further away from him. His busyness with his father made the young man neglect all his interests. Unlike when he had not been appointed as head of security at Mr.

"What is it, honey? Do you need my presence?" Andika had already closed his eyes so that he did not hear the message sent by Amurwa. Amurwa, who was in a precarious position in the field, finally tried to call Andika, but again, Andika did not pick up.
