My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 20

"Please sit down." Arini invited the woman to sit on the sofa in the front room, then the woman immediately sat there.

"Thank you, Ma'am."

"Oh, yeah. Wait a minute, yeah. I'd like to get you a drink. You must be thirsty, right?" said Arini.

"Don't bother, Ma'am. Anyway I had a drink, I just bought a drink at the other side of the shop" replied the woman.

"Ah, it's okay. You're the guest and the guest is the king" replied Arini as she stepped into the kitchen to meet Bi Surti and asked to make a drink.

Arriving in the kitchen.

"Who is that, Non?" bi Surti asked as he watched the woman from the kitchen room. It just so happened that they could still notice the woman from the place.

"The woman wanted to propose to be a Baby sitter, Bi. Let's help Arini take care of Azkia" said Arini. "Oh yeah, please make me a cold drink huh, Bi. Just one, for the woman" continued Arini.

"Good, Non."

While Bi Surti was making a cold drink, Arini was busy preparing some snacks for the woman.

Several times Bi Surti glanced at Arini. The middle-aged woman wanted to express her opinion, but she was afraid that Arini would be offended. "Non," call him.

"Yes, Bi?" arini answered, still busy arranging some snacks on an empty plate.

"I'm sorry, if Bibi's words offend Non Arini. But ... is that woman not too young to be Azkia's Baby sitter? If according to Auntie, the old mending, Non. Yes, at least they are more experienced in caring for babies," said Bi Surti

Arini stopped her work. He looked at the woman from a distance and what Bi Surti said was true. The woman was still young, even younger than the current age of Arini, who was now even 25.

"Bi Surti is right, but if he really wants to work, it doesn't seem to hurt to try. Right, Bi?" answer Arini.

Bi Surti nodded slowly and did not dare to answer anymore. He took a deep breath, then resumed his work.

After Arini's death, the woman looked around the room. Not even one of them escaped the woman's sight. Until finally his eyes were fixed on a wedding photo Arini and Dodi hanging on the wall with a size large enough.

He approached the photo and then watched it carefully. In the photo appears Dodi and Arini who are standing together in their magnificent guarantee, six years ago.

The woman continued to stare at the wedding photo of Arini without blinking an inch. Even he did not realize that Arini was already in the room. After arranging the drink glass and the plate containing the snack on the table, Arini stood behind the woman while clearing her throat.

Ahem!

The woman was surprised. He immediately turned around then looked at Arini's face while enduring the embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. Because cool to pay attention to the wedding photo of Mbak, I did not realize that Mbak was already here," said the woman while blushing embarrassed.

"Maybe the clothes look old-fashioned now, right? But at that time, a wedding dress like this is so coveted by every bride," said Arini with a smile knot staring at her wedding photo with Dodi.

"Bu-not that, Ma'am. Quite the contrary. I really liked the dress and makeup of the girl in the photo. She looks so beautiful, really!" said the woman.

Arini smiled again then shook her head slowly. "We're sitting down again, yuk! I've brought you a drink and some snacks" Arini asked while sitting on the sofa and was soon followed by the woman.

"Thank you, Ma'am."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask what your name is," continued Arini, still taking good care of the woman.

"My name is Anissa Rahma. I came from the village and tried to find a job in this city. I've tried applying for jobs everywhere, but they're all nil. No one is willing to hire me who is just a graduate of this High School" said the woman named Anissa.

Arini was silent for a moment while continuing to pay attention to the woman. After hearing Anissa's words, he remembered himself. Anissa who graduated from High School alone has difficulty finding work in this city, let alone her who is only a Junior High School graduate.

"So, you seriously want to be a baby sitter for my baby, Anissa? But, have you had any experience in caring for a baby before?" ask Arini later.

"I am not from a special institution that distributes the services of an experienced Baby sitter, Ma'am. But, when in the village I often get a job caring for the babies of neighbors who are busy working," he replied.

Arini exhaled a long breath while smiling faintly. He was relieved, at least the woman named Anissa had experience in caring for babies.

"I agree, Anissa. But all the decisions are in my husband's hands. You wait a minute yes, I call my husband first," said Arini who then grabbed his phone from inside his pocket.

"Good, Ma'am. Hopefully your husband will accept me because I really hope to get this job" replied Anissa.

"Yes, I hope." Arini pressed Dodi's mobile number and waited for the man to receive a call from her.
