Briena glanced at the morning sunlight that entered the room through the gap in the window. The woman turned to the side and saw Vian was still asleep. Briena sat up, curled her loose hair and got out of bed. He went into the bathroom to wash his face and clean himself. After that he went downstairs to prepare to help Bi Surti to cook food.

"Morning, ma'am!" said Briena to Bi Surti who was busy cooking in the kitchen. The woman walked to the refrigerator and then took a glass of water and drank it to the toilet. After that the woman glanced at Bi Surti who was frying rice.

"Morning, Nya," replied Bi Surti, glancing at her employer.

Briena approached Bi Surti and helped her cook fried rice while the middle-aged woman washed the cucumbers to make pickles.

"Oh, no need to help, madam. Leave me alone." Bi Surti refused help from Briena and instead told the woman to sit at the dining table waiting.
