Chapter 6

Grek!

David closed July's room. Finished with his duties, David left the room at the young lady's behest. What are you going to do if you're inside? See July undressed? David chuckled at the very thought.

"David?"

"Eh!" Screamed David to his toes. The palms had landed on the chest, wiped them slowly away from the shock.

"How's July? "Asked tesa before entering.

David moved. He give a space for the Lady. "She is taking a bath, Madam. Enjoy your seat, please ...."

Tesa reaches for the door, pushes it open and then quickly enters. While David, he walked straight downstairs. Something that goes off in the stomach seems to have thrashed forth pleading with something immediately.

Up on the first floor, David faintly heard the voice of the girls speaking. The tone heard a little elevated and it slowed.

David hissed at a servant girl named Mara. She was seen preparing dinner with the other waitresses.

"What? "Mara raised his one eyebrow.

At a distance of about 20 feet [6 m], the Mara voice could not be heard so clearly in David's ear. After all, Mara had deliberately lowered the volume in her mouth.

"Who's outside?" David asked without uttering a sound. Only one finger pointed to the living room.

There, still near the dining table, Mara only shrugged. Not because mara doesn't know, but because she doesn't understand what David is saying.

"Who's outside? "The maid next to Mara clarified.

"O." Mara opens her mouth and then looks back at David as he stands growing his ears. "Mr. Baron." That's what mara said.

David's reflexes seemed surprised. However, the master emerged from behind the curtain, causing David to withdraw almost immediately. "Sorry, Sir."

Seeing the scene, some of the servants immediately began to giggle. It's a good thing he had a good employer, otherwise David would've been accused of eavesdropping.

"How's July? She's okay? "One of the same questions David had heard on the second floor.

David nodded. "Yes, Sir. Miss July is fine. Now it's madame tesa's escort."

"Okay." A pat landed on David's shoulder. "You eat first. After that you can rest. Your father also needs your attention.

Who wouldn't be grateful to have such a good master? Of course there isn't. So was David. David is very fortunate to have worked with Jordan Atmaja's family.

"Oh, mother," cried July as she gazed at the mother sitting on the edge of the bed.

July just got out of the shower. With his head rolled up in a towel, July also wraps the towel around his body. July approached, grabbing the clothes lying next to her mother. "Since when are you in my room?"

"Just now," replied tesa. Her one hand helped to lay out the pajamas for July to wear. "Have you dared to take a shower?"

Smuggling its head into the opening, July answers: "of course. What's wrong with me?"

Reflexes like a bitter smile. Her daughter, besides being stubborn, is sometimes very difficult to talk to. Especially when there's a problem, it's always a short word. It's not July's fault why it's like this, it's just a painful past taking July into a closed girl.

Destiny says different, who knows? July returns a devastating disappointment to a man.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" asked Tesa. Tesa's gaze was still fixed on July who was buttoning his nightgown. For the pants, he has been using it for a long time

"Just get David to bring me dinner."

"David?" Tesa's brows furrowed. "Why David?"

"Nothing" July turns. Walking toward the mirror, July stood there rubbing her wet hair with a towel. "Just tell him to bring me dinner."

Still wondering, at last, tesa said yes. "All right, I'll go downstairs."

On the way out, before her arm got to the door, someone had already opened.

"Hey!" Jordan says. Tesa smiles back. There, still in the mirror, July seemed to turn. Only a glimpse of her once again focusing on her wet hair.

Seeing her husband about to come in and open her mouth, Tesa then gave her a gentle nudge. Tesa blinked, coded it so it wouldn't have to say anything.

"What's wrong? "Jordan whispered.

Tesa's not answering. She keeps pushing him out. Quietly reseal the door. "Don't go in yet. July is unavailable."

Jordan's lips were melting. Turn around and follow the wife down the steps.

"Is David still here? "Asked tesa. The step is made faster as we take this arm.

"Looks like it's dinner in the kitchen. Why?"

"Bringing dinner to July."

"Ha? "Jordan agape. He moved faster, turning the wife in his step. "Why David? It's David's hour to be home. Normally, July wants a domestic assistant."

"Don't ask questions. "Tesa got rid of the husband and walked again. "She's still not available."

"David!!" Tesa is calling.

It was David at dinner with Mara. Swallow the food inside the mouth as quickly as possible, then stand up. "What is it, madam?"

"Can you be home late tonight?"

David frowned. "What happened, Madame?" asked David.

Curious, the sitting Mara remained withdrawn and pretended to be busy with the rest of her dinner.

"Take food to July's room," Tesa replied.

For a moment he glanced at Mara, the next second David nodded. "Yes, madam."

As soon as July's request is presented, Tesa and Jordan go back into the room. As much as I'd love to be the princess's den at times, it's going to be difficult. Back then, maybe July desperately wanted to share things with her. In view of her changed condition, however, Tesa would be less hopeful.

All because of their mistake. It wasa mistake to ignore the princess while she was still growing up. Perhaps all mothers and fathers in their careers will be busy in their world without looking for a moment at the girl who needs it the most.

"I'll take the food to miss July's room first." David left Mara who was still sitting there scrubbing dishes with a spoon.

No one knows mara is hardening her jawbone at the moment. Since miss July's return, David has been kept quite busy. To be honest, Mara didn't exactly like it.

As soon as David shuffled up the steps with a dinner tray, exasperated Mara then slammed the ladle onto the dinner plate. Anyone left in this room glanced at Mara.
