"I hate you," Cheryl whispers right by Lily's side as she steps out of her father's luxurious SUV. Hearing that, Lily's heart feels like it's being pelted with thousands of invisible pebbles, making her instinctively retract her body.The shoulder-length haired woman takes in as much air as she can. Trying to normalize all her senses that momentarily paralyzed because of the words spoken earlier. From the corner of her eye, Lily can see the girl walking gracefully, hand in hand with her father. As if what was just said was just a meaningless word, interpreted differently by Lily herself."Miss Lily, don't stay far from Cheryl, okay? I'm worried," says Anna, making Lily jump in surprise. When she turns around, the middle-aged woman, elegant in her maroon kebaya, is already not far from where she stands."Yeah, Mrs. Anna."Deep down, Lily believes this will be quite difficult to do. Fresh in her memory is how the girl stripped Lily bare with eyes full of wo

Lily tries her best to normalize her heart rate. Every time she expresses longing for her parents—especially Rianto, her father—her mother always manages to make her feel small again. Such deep longing should diminish because of various words from the woman who conceived and bore her.Whenever asked about her job, Lily knows she's guilty. But she's not ready to take the risk of being forced back to her hometown. Not because she's started to enjoy her job. Not at all. Lily chooses to stay here, rather than having to hear many things that still haunt her mind.One thing she feels for sure now. Pain without visible wounds on her skin. At the end of the phone call, her mother said, "Your father has a message for you, take care of yourself. You are now back under our watch, Lily."She really wants to respond to those words, but everything gets stuck in her throat. Does Lily have to accept all of this? Absolutely not. Lily understands her mother's good int

Two days had passed, and Cheryl had been acting cold towards her. The little girl's emotions were testing Lily extraordinarily. Everyone in the house said she was the most patient nanny who still endured Cheryl's behavior. Lily responded with a smile. Actually, she wasn't that patient. The self-healing she did facing Cheryl was significant. However, she didn't complain.To her, Cheryl was like a box full of secrets. She wanted to uncover the bottom of that box as soon as possible. Lily had once dreamed of what it would be like to have the title she now held. Everything was enveloped in love, and Lily didn't want to regret it. That's why, when faced with someone like Cheryl, she felt like she had found an oasis in the desert of her life. Maybe a little more patience would pay off. Lily hoped for that. Cheryl's soul suddenly became important to her for some reason.This morning, Cheryl wasn't at the breakfast table. Her employer was out of town while Mrs. Anna had a flig

Lily couldn't possibly not talk about what happened to her young miss. Especially since this is the second time the same thing has happened. Fortunately for Cheryl today, she didn't have to attend the swim meet. She just had to write an essay as a replacement as the girl told her nanny.Maybe it's because of that story that Lily finds herself here. After being invited in by the room's owner, Lily walks slowly. It's Anna Adam's private space. Lily has often passed by this large carved door, but only now does she enter it.Lily is treated to a heavenly sight here. An indoor garden with many flowers, shelves of succulents, and a fish pond whose rippling water soothes the soul. Maybe if Lily stays here long enough, she could fall asleep without any desire to wake up again. That's how delightful this corner is made."Sit here, Lily."Lily smiles. The voice is so warm, as if talking to a close friend. But who is Lily? Just a nanny. Not forgetting the tray of sn

"I'm actually scared, Mrs. Anna, to meet Mr. James again," Lily finally speaks to Anna. The incident last night really made her tremble facing her boss. This Monday morning, the middle-aged woman is already sitting at the dining table. While the young miss and her employer haven't shown up yet.Anna just chuckles softly. "James isn't angry, Lily. Besides, you've given your reasons. Now, it's even better, James surely won't stay silent about this incident." She sees her granddaughter's caregiver nodding slowly."James didn't fire you, did he?"Lily can't help but smile. "If I were fired, I wouldn't be in this kitchen anymore, right, Mrs.?"That answer makes Anna laugh. "We need you, Lily."Lily's lips twitched. This time it's not the awkward smile when facing her employer, but a touched smile because of Anna's acceptance as such a good lady towards her.However, the sudden surge of worry makes that smile disappear."Why?"Lily b

Fourteen years ago, Lily met Levi Mathias for the first time. It was by chance because Levi turned out to be the nephew of Lily's favorite lecturer, Sadewa Winata. They met because Dewa was sick at the time. He couldn't teach while his lesson materials were entrusted to Levi.Polite, smart, courteous, and humble. That's the figure Dewa described about Liliana Bertha, his proud student. Maybe that's what kept Levi getting closer to Lily. Given lots of attention, understanding, affection, and love, which woman's heart wouldn't melt?Lily closes her eyes, shaking her head slowly to push away the dark memories that come back to haunt her."Lily ... are you crying?" asks the voice on the other end, only hearing small sobs since the call was answered.There's no response at all, the sobbing only intensifies."Lily ... what's wrong? Are you getting scolded by your boss? I'm really worried, Lily. What happened?" Risa presses impatiently."Levi, Risa

"Miss ... wait," Lily calls out, slightly out of breath. She's a bit troubled by the request from her young lady. Before leaving, Shery wanted a rice roll with sliced grilled meat. Just like when that breakfast menu was specially served for the young lady.As they enter this elite mall area, the girl is half-running. She says she can't wait to meet Abyan. Yet all along the way, she made sure Abyan isn't a pesky and noisy kid. Because Cheryl doesn't want to be friends with kids like that. Lily gets annoyed because she has explained several times, as if the girl doesn't believe her.Now, it's the girl who looks very excited. Cheryl laughs joyfully and waits for her caregiver to match her steps. "I can't wait, Miss.""But don't run. I'm worried you might fall; you know?"Cheryl blinks slowly, giving Lily a small smile. Then in one swift move, she's already hugging part of the woman's body, managing to steal some of her comfort. "I don't know how I can be thi

For first time reading Liliana Bertha's resume, there was a big question that popped up. However, it was answered straightforwardly and it seemed to be the honesty from her child's caregiver. James didn't expect that both Denny and Lily were from the same alma mater. For a long time, James stared at the sheet in front of him.His memory was forcibly dragged back to the conversation at the ice cream shop in the mall after Cheryl played."I really didn't expect to meet you here, Lily. Uh...Risa too, actually," Denny couldn't hide his enthusiasm facing the two women sitting in front of him.Don't ask James what Risa's expression was because the woman who had his child in her lap didn't seem awkward at all. It was different with Lily. She seemed to have lost her voice. Only responding with short words and a small smile."Do you all know each other?" Unable to hold back his curiosity, James finally interrupted Denny's excitement."Yeah. They're my alumn

Lily was busy with her phone, ignoring the small calls inviting her to join a fan club of someone she knows. She shook her head in wonder. How could there be a fan club for James Adam at Cheryl's school? Maybe if Risa knew about this, her friend would sign up right away. Considering the first time Risa met him, compliments about his looks slipped effortlessly from her lips. Not to mention the gossip about him. Lily was even getting tired of the questions, "Has Mr. James's wife ever come, Lily?" Or, "Yeah, I told you too. Mr. James is a Hot Widower."For Lily, none of that mattered. Cheryl was the most important thing to her. His status was none of her business. Not at all. Even if what most of the gossipers were also caregivers, it was true. James' face was indeed handsome, Lily admitted to herself, but that didn't make her fascinated by him. Not at all. It was enough for her to have any dealings with a man like James. It was more than enough.Her presence in James's h

Spending the rest of this afternoon with Cheryl, at least, could ease his guilt a little. He asked Ahmad and Lily to go home earlier. Well, he had finished his business with Cheryl's homeroom teacher."Why's Daddy picking up Cheryl all of a sudden?"Glancing at his daughter, she was busy licking her portion of ice cream. "Don't you like it?"Cheryl actually laughs happily. "I'm really happy, actually. Usually Daddy comes home late, you know. Overtime, you know. It's strange that he's picking me up now."A sudden regret envelops James's heart as Lily's innocent sparkling eyes fill his mind. "Sorry, sweetheart."The ponytailed girl quickly shakes her head. "Daddy works for me, right? Busy for me too. So, I forgive you."James chuckles. "Where to after ice cream?" He lovingly strokes the top of her head. But instead of a happy face, he gets a sideways glance, a sign of displeasure at his recent action."My hair always has to be neat, Dad
