Asena's Revenge
Who's your Boss

Asena opened her eyes and felt a great pain in her back, yes Asena remembered this pain due to the actions of the man who was rude and also did not have compassion. Asena suddenly remembered her mother and rushed up from her sleeping position and then walked out of the room looking for the existence of the woman who had given birth to her, Asena even ignored the pain in her back now.

A sigh of relief escaped Asena's lips when she saw her mother making breakfast for her. Asena hugged her mother from behind and wanted to protect the woman she loved, but Asena was not strong enough to do so but, Asena will try to do it as she can.

“Honey, you are awake,” Sima said as she rubbed the back of her daughter's hand which is still hugging her waist.

“Ma, forgive Asena, because Asena Mama got a blow from her,” great-grandson Asena full of regrets. Asena felt so devastated that even her heart still felt so painful when she imagined the rude treatment of the heartless man last night.

Sima turned her body and now she was facing Asena. “You do not need to apologize because all this is the fault of Mama who can not find a good man to be a husband so now you are the one who suffers the consequences,” Sima said by gently rubbing the peak of her daughter's hair.

Sima loves him so much, the man who has repeatedly landed his hands on every limb, but everything Cem does never makes Sima hate him even Sima is always nice to him.

Asena let go of her embrace, the blue bead looked at Sima's face and it was very clear that the former slap made one of Mama's cheeks bruise and turn blue, Asena wiped her tears and started sobbing. Sima reviewed a faint smile as if trying to say that everything was fine. Sima gently rubbed the clear from her daughter's cheeks slowly.

“Asena, this is not your fault and Mama is used to all this, you do not need to be sad,” persuaded Sima who does not like to see his daughter cry. “Now shower soon and Mama will prepare breakfast for us," Pinta Sima as she pushes Asena's body away from her.

Asena looked at Mama as she stepped away. Sima showed her sweet smile to Asena so that she did not feel anxious about her condition. After seeing her daughter's back disappear behind the bedroom door, Sima fell to the floor lamenting her grief, and she fell down, if only Sima had not chosen the wrong life partner, Asena would not have to live in fear and sadness like this. Sima quickly dispelled the sadness and prepared breakfast, Asena would be even more sad if she saw him crying.

Asena came out of her room then stepped towards the dining room and they both finished the food on each plate.

“Ma, Asena is leaving for work now,” says goodbye Asena after she finishes washing dirty dishes in the kitchen.

“We leave together,” Sima replied.

“Mama where to go?” ask Asena full of probes.

“Yesterday Mama has got a job and now is the first day of work,” Sima said with a cheerful smile.

Asena lowered her head and the clear fur trickled back down her cheeks. “Im sorry Asena, Ma. Asena still can not make Mama happy,” great-grandson Asena full of sadness and also helpless to face a destiny that seems to complicate their lives.

Sima raised her daughter's chin and framed Asena's beautiful face, saying, “Honey, don't ever shed another tear because it really breaks your heart. We are strong women and also tough and we can get through all this together,” Sima said giving motivation to his daughter.

Seeing the strong determination that is now emanated from the bead of Sima's eyes makes Asena happy because Mama is a tough woman and never complains about the destiny of her life, Asena must be able to seem like. Asena inhaled a deep breath and then exhaled it from her mouth as if trying to dispel the sadness in her heart through the wasted breath and mixed with the morning air.

“Asena will not be sad and will continue this life, Asena will imitate the determination of Mama and let's go to work together,” Asena said.

Mama and the child walked hand in hand and occasionally heard laughter from their lips. The sadness and burden will be lighter if they face together and that is what Asena and Mama are now trying to face. Arriving at the crossroads the two parted ways and went to their respective destinations.

“Mr Altair, during the day today you want to have lunch inside the office or in a restaurant?” ask Lan. Lan stood before Mr. Altair while standing firmly and with a bowed look of respect.

“Restaurant,” replied Mr. Altair irrit talk as usual.

“I'll order your food,” replied Lan with so much understanding what her employer would want.

“We moved restaurant this time!” the word of Mr. Altair is ambiguous.

Somewhere else.

Asena was busy serving the guests who came to the restaurant where she worked. This restaurant is not too big and also has a fairly affordable price for the middle class, but has a taste of cuisine that can compete with five-star hotels.

This restaurant is very clean and there is a mini park in front of the restaurant. In working breaks, this restaurant will always be crowded by workers who want to spend their lunch time in this restaurant, in addition to eating they can also enjoy the scenery around.

Asena was so shocked when she saw the men wearing all black suits suddenly approached all the tables in this room and at the same time everyone on the table immediately finished their lunch then walked out of this restaurant.

“What is this?” ask Asena to her co-workers.

“Now I don't know either,” replied Asena's co-worker by lifting both shoulders. “Asena, try to ask the men who use the all-black shirt about what happened,” pinta partner Asena. Asena's partner didn't want to get into trouble so he asked Asena who asked. That's very sneaky.

“I'm afraid,” replied Asena. Asena has shuddered to see the shape of the body strapping and also the flat face of the men who wear all black clothes, let alone have to ask them. Asena had no intention at all.

“If until the owner of this restaurant comes and knows all the restaurant visitors out without paying then we will both die,” explained Asena's co-worker.

“What? The visitors who come out of this restaurant have not paid at all?” asena asked trying to be sure and her co-worker immediately nodded her head.

Asena was wasting her breath tired mixed with frustration like she had no other choice.

“I will ask then,” Asena said.

Asena stepped over to one of the men wearing a black shirt with hesitant steps and both hands also shook with fear but, Asena had to keep moving forward because her work was at stake. Finally, Asena was behind the man who wore a black shirt and then ventured to point one finger to touch the sturdy arm in front of him.

“Tu-lord can I ask?” asena's great-grandson with a trembling voice at the end of her tongue. Asena is at war with her heart that keeps shaking in fear, but she has to make things clear because it's about her job.

“Yes, say,” replied the man in the black suit in an intimidating voice.

“Why does every table that you and your colleagues approach all those who were enjoying a meal on their plates immediately decide to get out of this restaurant? They haven't even paid for all the dishes they've enjoyed?” asked Asena with her head bowed.

“Our master will pay for all the dishes they have eaten,” replied the burly man.

“Who is your Master's name if I may know, because later I will give a note of payment for all dishes that visitors have ordered to him?” asena asked still with a body trembling in fear.

“Mr Altair,” replied the man.

“It seems I've heard his name, but where,” inner Asena in her silence.

Asena saw the bodyguards start to bow respectfully and Asena turned her body to look at the door of this restaurant. Asena's two eyeballs seemed to be out of nature when she saw the man last night enter this restaurant in a black suit and there were matching colored glasses perched on the face of his handsome, Shith! Why did Asena say the monstrous man was handsome, his eyes might have been myopic by now.

"In-he was the man of last night."
