Driver and the Miss: Get Closer to Me

Chapter 6 — About Yuki

For a moment, there was a silence between Yuda and Yuki, in the car that took them to Yuki's school.

"Uncle, do you have any children?" Yuki asked suddenly, a question that made Yuda turned his head.

"Not yet, Miss."

"Not yet? How long have you been married to Aunty?"

"About three years."

"Um, it's quite a long time. How old are you?"

"I'm 30 years old."

"Um, so you are that old, and what about Aunty?"

"She is 25 years old."

"Um .. it's suitable to have children, why both of you delay it?" Yuki asked, her eyes staring at Yuda's face from the side.

"It was not delayed by us, but it was not given yet by God."

"Ooh, I see. You should have lots of kids, Uncle, so your kids won't be lonely like me."

"Miss Yuki, do you have no siblings?" Yuda asked while turning his head to see Yuki's face.

Yuki looked away at the window. Yuda could see the gloom on that face, even if it was only for a moment.

"I don't like to talk about myself." Yuki replied curtly.

"Ooh, I am sorry," said Yuda quickly.

'Hhh wasn't she the one who started talking about herself earlier?'

Silence returned back between the two of them.

Yuki's eyes now looked straight ahead, for some reason Yuda felt that she was wandering.

They remained silent until they arrived at Yuki's school. Yuda opened the car door for Yuki.

"If Uncle wants to go, just go. I'll call you when it's time to go home."

"No, Miss, I'll just wait for you, because that is my job."

"Whatever."

Yuki entered her school, Yuda parked his car. Waiting for Yuki while closing her sleepy eyes, because he had to work since early this morning. But before that, he turned on his cellphone alarm fifteen minutes before Yuki's time to come home from school.

Yuda opened his eyes when his cellphone alarm indicated it was time for Yuki to come home from school. He got out of the car, straightened his aching waist. Then straightened his slightly wrinkled shirt.

At first, Mrs. Fina asked her to wear a driver's uniform, like when he worked in an office. But Yuki didn't allow him to wear the uniform. So he was forced to wear only his old shirt stock and cloth pants, which were only a few sets.

Yuda saw Yuki walking with her three friends who went to the mall with her yesterday, they parted ways in front of the school gate. Yuki wanted to head towards Yuda, but Yuda saw a car blocking Yuki's road.

A male student came out of the car, he tried to grab Yuki's hand, but Yuki brushed it away.

Yuda walked over to them, he felt angry seeing the disrespectful attitude shown by the male student towards his lady.

But before Yuda arrived near them, the male student was already able to grab hold of Yuki's arm.

"I told you, I don't want to go with you!" Yuki tried to pull her arm out of that student's grasp.

"You know, Yuki, all these school girls will feel proud if they go with me. So you should feel flattered because I chose you, Yuki!" growled that male student.

"I'm not them, get out of my way!" exclaimed Yuki angrily.

"Let her go! Don’t touch Miss Yuki," said Yuda to the male student. He patted the male student's shoulder hard. The male student turned his head, their equally blue eyes meeting.

"Who are you? Don't get in my business!"

"I'm Miss Yuki's driver. Miss Yuki's business is my business too." Yuda replied.

"Go back to the car, Uncle. Don't interfere with my business. I can solve my own problems," Yuki said sharply to Yuda. Yuda looked at Yuki with an incomprehensible look, why didn't his lady want him to defend her?

"Uncle, I said get back in the car. Wait for me there!" Yuki exclaimed getting impatient because she saw Yuda who didn't flinch from his place.

With a heavy heart, Yuda left them. Yuda gotin and satin the car. His gaze was fixed on the argument between Yuki and the male student earlier. They talked for a long time until finally, Yuda saw Yuki slap the student's cheek, then Yuki immediately left him.

Yuda immediately got out of the car, he opened the front door for his lady.

"I'm sitting in the back, I want to be alone!" Yuki said in a curt voice. Without asking any more, Yuda opened the back door. Yuki got into the car, Yuda closed the door. Then, he sat behind the steering wheel.

"Are we going home now, miss?"

"Yes." Yuki replied briefly.

Yuda glanced at his lady from the rearview mirror, that face seemed to be filled with anger, but the look in her eyes seemed to hold a deep sorrow. Two different things werein one soul. And that day, again, Yuda saw Yuki in a different figure from what he saw yesterday.

That day there was no joy shown like yesterday. What was visible today was gloom and anger. He didn't know tomorrow what else Yuki would look like.

They arrivedat home.

"Come with me for lunch," said Yuki when Yuda opened the car door for her.

"Alright, Miss."

Yuda followed Yuki's steps into the house. Yuki went upstairs to her room to change clothes, while Yuda went into the kitchen to ask for a drink.

Yuda was chatting with three household assistants in the kitchen, while Yuki shouted to call him.

"Uncle!"

"Yes, Miss."

Yuda quickly came out of the kitchen.

"What are you doing in the kitchen?"

"I am drinking, Miss."

"Sit down, accompany me to eat lunch!"

"Alright, Miss."

Yuda sat on the chair opposite Yuki.

Staring at the food menu in front of him, it reminded him of his wife. He didn’t know what his wife ate for today.

Yuda didn't realize that Yuki was staring at him.

"Hurry up and eat, Uncle.Today I have tutoring. You can rest a little while after eating, then take me to the tutoring place."

"Alright, Miss."

Yuda took his food slowly. He was grateful in his heart for the sustenance he received today. But eating this kind of food without his wife made him feel guilty for Ajeng.

Yuki had finished eating.

"Uncle, you can rest for a while. Mrs. Rah.." Yuki called for a household assistant.

"Yes Miss," Mrs. Rah came over.

"Wrap it all in, give it to Uncle Yuda! Let him bring it home to his wife!" ordered Yuki. Yuda looked at Yuki with a look of disbelief. Mrs. Rah nodded her head.

Without saying another word, Yuki went upstairs.

"No need, Ma'am," said Yuda when Mrs. Rah actually put what was on the table into the food container.

"Do not refuse sustenance, Yuda. After all, Miss Yuki will be angry if we don’t do as she said. She could go mad if you refuse this. It is difficult to persuade her when she went mad. Mr. Yamata is also not here. Poor Mrs. Fina, because she had to find a way to persuade her," said Mrs. Rah.

"Does Miss Yuki get angry easily, Ma'am?"

"Yes, I also don't know why Miss Yuki is angry. If she is angry, no one will be able to persuade her except her grandfather."

"What is it like if Miss Yuki goes berserk?"

"Miss Yuki, if no one obeyed her, she will definitely be angry, threatening to commit suicide. Drive her own car speeding. Oh my, is just as scary as hell. So don't refuse her wish, it's dangerous!" Mrs. Rah said, shrugging her shoulders.

Yuda felt anxious about it, afraid that if he would make Yuki went berserk and did stupid things because her wishes were not being obeyed. And Yuda became more confused about his young lady, Yuki Yurika.
