LOVE IN THE ARMS OF DUSK
4

Nura stepped out after it was felt that the conversation was over, when she closed the door of the study, Madam Ajeng had been standing waiting for her with a cynical look

“Follow me” He said without staring at Nura at all, Nura followed silently

The girl compared Madam Ajeng to her mother, while staring at the woman's back, Nura noticed, her hair neatly arranged, her fingernails covered with pretty purple paint, a face that did not look wrinkled in the slightest, ageless, in addition to the silk dress that wrapped her body, no one expected this woman to be forty years old

In stark contrast to her mother's appearance, her face was wrinkled with fatigue and stress, wearing makeshift clothes, never wearing beautiful dresses and sparkling jewelry

His mother suffered until the end of her life

Madam Ajeng took her to the backyard, to the furthest away from the house, seen an old building that serves as a warehouse to store unused items and firewood

They were standing at the warehouse door

“Make yourself useful, clean this warehouse” He said while throwing the key, Nura caught it before it fell to the ground

“Ya” Sahut Nura

Madam Ajeng smiled with satisfaction, then left Nura inside the house, the maid opened the back porch door for her

“Supervise the child, do not feed him if his work is not finished!” Tell Madam Ajeng with a grinning smile, the servant bowed his body

“Good Mistress”

Nura painstakingly opened the door of the warehouse, the key was rusty, his eyes were staring flat at the contents of the warehouse, he was not surprised at all, there were many unused items and firewood placed carelessly, full of dust and cobwebs, the floor is filled with rat shit, this place has long been unused

Nura did not feel disgusted at all, working as a labourer and living in a place of seclusion made her get used to things like this

The servant who always came to him brought him a broom, a mop, a brush and a bucket of cleaning materials, with a pitying face handed over his equipment

“ Second miss.”

“Go”

Nura did not want to deal with the maid, so she threw him away, the maid was surprised, but a second later she understood that Nura did not want to be disturbed so she hurried away

Nura rolled up her sleeves, tied up her short hair, then started cleaning

*

It turned out that this clean-up lasted a very long time, as the afternoon approached, Nura had only cleaned half of the contents of the warehouse, unused and damaged items he had collected to dispose of, but the wood pile has not been cleared at all

Do I have to do this until night?

Nura shook her head, she was not that stupid, put down her broom and closed the barn door, went inside the house, intending to clean up her dirty self, she crossed the living room, she went, his eyes caught the figure of Madam Ajeng and Nala, sitting on the sofa while eating cake

“Where to?”

Madam Ajeng asked unkindly, Nura stopped her steps, staring flatly at the two women

“Kamar” Saying brief

“From now on the place you clean is your room!”

Coldly Madam Ajeng pointed at him, a look of disdain was always directed at him, Nala laughed softly, completely satisfied

Am I a Cinderella now?

Nura had expected the treatment of this family, only that the treatment of this family changed so quickly, maybe they judged that a non-talking Nura would submit and obey just like that, her low status, as low as trash

“Ya”

Nala always felt annoyed facing Nura

Why is this girl so calm? He really is an undead!

Nura stepped back towards the warehouse, lighting the only light there, a small yellow light in the middle of the warehouse, took a broom and tidied up the pile of wood, laying on the edge of the room

When midnight, Nura had finished the wooden pile neatly, the warehouse became much cleaner and spacious because the damaged items Nura had taken out

Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Nura unintentionally stared at the reflection of herself in the large mirror she had cleared, there were a few cracks on some sides, but she was able to see her entire body clearly

It is true that ducks will not become swans

In the mirror Nura saw himself, his hair wet with sweat, dusty dress, dull face and hands full of wounds, the changes that happened last night were just sweeteners that this family did

Then why did I buy clothes and go to the salon?

Not out of thought, Nur did not want to care, he was tired and needed rest

“Second miss” the voice of the servant was heard from outside, Nura opened the door, the servant who had come to him entered and closed the door quickly

“I brought blanket” handed over a pile of blankets to Nura

"And food” his eyes implied pity, taking out two sandwiches from under his clothes

Nura accepted it doubtfully, looking at the servant fixedly, this servant was very young, maybe only eighteen years old, the girl had round cheeks and a thin body, she said, her height was almost the same as Nura's, and she was still wearing a maid uniform in the middle of the night like this

“You shouldn't have done this for me, if found out you could have fired”

For the first time Nura spoke a lot, the servant followed Nura sitting on the wood

“I know. Therefore I wait for everyone to sleep”

“Thank you”

Nura was indeed very hungry, without hesitation eating it slowly

“My name is Yiyi, Second miss”

Nura nodded while finishing the sandwich

“Call Nura only, Yiyi”

“But..”.

“My status is lower than yours, I am the illegitimate child Mr.mu” Nura said without burden, making Yiyi feel guilty

“I know. All the waiters talked about it all day” Yiyi lowered her voice, looking sad

“How about you tell me about what happened at Nala's engagement party and Mr Fatih's?”

Nura did not like to be pitied, so he shifted the conversation to another topic, he was also curious about this

Yiyi seemed to think for a while, then took off

“The young lady did not really want to get engaged to Mr. Fatih, she agreed because she heard the man was very rich, but when the engagement day just suddenly Miss went berserk and destroyed her own party”

“Attempt?”

“Yes. Some servants said the young Miss had had a lover, but others said it was probably because Mr. Fatih looked old and old-fashioned”

“So like that” Nura muttered to the conclusion that he really grounded the Daniar family to cover up the mistakes made by Nala

“You'd better come back, I'll sleep”

“Ya” Yiyi briefed quickly he left the warehouse

Nura put her body on the wood, even though her body was wrapped in a blanket, she was still cold

What will happen to him tomorrow?
