He Helps me
No one wants a life to feel incomplete in other's eye. Because we are human, we are basically asked by common questions, do you have a job?, are you married? ? or even do you have a house? Those questions we can avoid in the past, but how this era we need prove from a Success-Driven Society.

I walk through the aisle from the front gate to one biggest house decorated by beautiful and expensive flowers surrounded in garden. I noticed one thing in this modern house is mirror, wow the transparent yellow glass was built to covered all the house except roofs. I can see things through inside and the expensive furnished things made my legs so trembling.
“Hi” I made my addressing.
“Oh right, you are my babysitter today?”
“Yes” I answered and saw the face who turned to me while she is busying with two little kids in her arms.
“I am so sorry that I couldn’t welcome you properly as you can see, I am………….”
I knew what she is going to say, but she decided to keep it silent and silent instead.
“Let me help you”
“No, I am so sorry, Urh actually you have to handle with the other five kids who are going down from stairs”
I suddenly turn my face to where she pointed, I was surprised all the kids are age gap from each other only 1 year.
“All these kids are yours?”
“Yes, I gave them birth”
I couldn’t close my jaw dropped after I heard her.
“And you are my…….”
“Yes, I hired you”
I couldn’t think as first she was my employer because she looks nearly ordinary housekeeper.
“As I said, I couldn’t welcome you properly because I don’t have time to dress, to make up my face, to make my hair done and all these kids need to go to school at once except these little two toddlers.”
She could read my mind, but I think I shouldn’t say sorry. So, I help her five kids manage their dresses and their lunch boxes put into their school bags. Accidentally my both eyes look up on the wall and found out she is a dermatologist graduated from famous and high-cost university.
Why she gave up her work and become a mother like this, I thought.
Once I finished up these five kids, the kids ran out to their driver straightaway as if they don’t want to stay at home.
I look at her, but she looked outside of house wider eyes opened. I am terrified and ran after her inside as she headed to the bathroom which has a big wardrobe next to it.
“He comes”
“Who?”
“My husband”
“Don’t look at him, he comes to shower”
I did what she said and I don’t know why her voice is so shaking. Actually, her husband doesn’t seem to look at anyone, he directly goes to the bathroom with the phone on his mouth. Looking from the back, her husband looks young and so firm as a healthy person.
She asked me to stand still in front of his bathroom and waiting until he finishes the shower because we have to help him dress up.
What!!, I said to myself. What kind of a person who cannot dress by own self, I want to quit the job today now.
Once he finished, he stepped outside and look at me cheerfully with grinning face.
“Who is this?” he asked her wife.
“My sister”
“Wow, you never mention about your sister, she’s so pretty”
I cannot confront anybody face because I don’t know what’s going on, I help her dress him and I knew now why she needs my help because he has so many accessories to put on, his watch, his ten rings, his neglects, his belt and his bracelets. His style is so captivating. He looks like a prince now and so charming by the way.
“You wanna join a ride with me?”
“You have so important meeting; she cannot go with you”
“Come on, she can take a tour around the city because my car is so beautiful”
He suddenly grabs my hand and takes me outside the house. I saw his car parked near the road; the car is long, grey metal with transparent mirror covered all except the roof. Look like he likes the mirror. I saw one man sitting in the car. I also want to sit there; it looks so comfortable inside.
I release my hands from him.
“Why?”
“There are several available seats in your car, maybe you want more girls sit in there”
“Genius girl! I will surely pick up some girl colleagues and some strange girls who want a ride”
“Did your wife know?”
He nods his head.
“She knew all details; otherwise, she didn’t marry me”
He smiles at me honestly.
“You don’t like me; I am leaving for work now.”
He drove the car passed me with smiling face and his friend stared at me confusing.
I ran inside the house; I saw same housekeeper, not the wife of rich and charming man.
“Why” I asked her.
She’s silent.
“Because his wealthiness and confident look you cannot leave him?”
“No, it’s because he makes me a wife as I want.”
