Shanum Hanania
Chapter 10


"Can you explain to Mama about the girl?" ask Mrs Brianna still holding her back


"Don't you already know, she's our new domestic assistant" Arga said


"No, Mama knows you're hiding something"


"I don't know, but I think her face looks a lot like Hanna" Arga said as she lowered her head


"But she's not Hanna, Arga. She's Shanum, a girl who is very much different from Hanna, there's nothing in that girl that bears any resemblance to Hanna"


"No Ma, his face is very similar. It's just that their behavior is very different. If Hanna is so soft in her speech, then Shanum is the opposite, the girl is so sniffy"

Madam Brianna sighed harshly. The middle-aged woman who has Indonesian-German blood seems tired if she has to argue with her son about Hanna. Because he knew, his son loved the beautiful woman who had become his lover. Even after a dozen years passed, his son never had a relationship with any woman because of his love for the figure of Hanna Delisha


"Yes get some rest, you must be tired"

After spending an hour on the break, Shanum now feels a little better. The tiredness and sleepiness that had been afflicting him had disappeared. He came out of the room and went straight to the kitchen. It looks like Mrs Brianna is making a cup of tea there


"Mom why didn't you call me to make some tea?" tanya Shanum sung


"Shan.. Are you awake? It's okay, I'm used to doing this, so there's no need to hesitate" Mrs Brianna brought the cup of tea to the family room, and she resumed her activities reading the magazine


Shanum looked towards the second floor, he remembered Arga's words before allowing him to rest earlier. Arga asked him to call the man on the second floor, and asked him to take all the items of Shanum's goods that were still in his old rented. But honestly Shanum did not have the courage to act so presumptuously at his employer's house


"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."


"Mama is?" the woman asked a little awkwardly, as this was the first time she had seen Shanum


"The lady is in the living room" Shanum replied. As with the woman, Shanum also felt uneasy, because he did not know who the woman was talking to him. Shanum followed the steps of the woman who was walking towards the living room


"Mama..."


"Ceppy" Lady Brianna got up, and spread out her hands "How was your day, nice?"


"Little, oh yeah, who's Ma?" the woman asked Mrs Brianna, pointing at Shanum who was now looking down


"Oh, Mama forgot to introduce you to her. She's Shanum, our new housekeeper"


The young woman approached Shanum and extended her hand "Hi Kak, my name is Selfi"


Shanum looked at the hand. He slightly hesitated to shake the delicate hand that was before him. But because it felt very presumptuous for him to ignore it, then with a heavy heart Shanum received a helping hand from the woman he knew named Selfi


"I'm Shanum Non"


"No, don't call Non because I don't like it. Sis can call me Selfi, Ceppy, Gemoy, or whatever it is not Miss" said Selfi


Madame Brianna smiled at some of the call references her daughter suggested. He then stood up and pulled Selfi's ear with a little loud "why should a good name be a nickname. Shan just call him the bringer"


"Mama.." - whine Selfi.


Shanum looked at the two women with awkward smiles. Although in his heart he held admiration for his master's family, because they did not look down on him. Even all members of this family looked at him the same, as if they were close relatives.
