CONSEQUENCES
Dinner

   Jhana thought back to Mona's words, 'I want to meet dad, because maybe only dad can understand how I feel! I know, dad always thinks of us, somewhere I don't know, in the world or the afterlife.'

Question after question came to his mind.

Is it possible that Mona still remembers about her father Rashid?

Did she ever understand her son's feelings?

Can't she be a good mother?

Do their children suffer and are never happy?

And without realizing it, the restaurant where he worked, the restaurant Popular, was in front of his eyes.

"Oh, hi big lady," Wanda said cynically. Jhana tried to ignore him by passing by looking for his apron, but Wanda held back her left hand, and invited him to speak.

"The lady is big, what time is it? Hm?" ask Wanda.

"Three" replied Jhana.

"You left since what time is the big madam?"

"Half one."

"Everything, look, a widow with three kids trying to be the boss at work. Working as he pleases, and taking his hour of rest as he pleases, is incredible" Wanda said.

'They're crazy, fighting in a place like this, fortunately there are no customers, ' Yahya thought.

"If your reasons are still with personal problems, personal problems are prohibited during work, it is one of the rules for working here, I'm sure Mr. Toni gives the same rules to you" Wanda said.

"Wanda, this time is different" said Jhana.

"Two years I've worked here, and I've always heard different reasons, you're the best excuse-maker I've ever met."

Jhana. "Three o'clock is your rest, up to five o'clock, there's no time for you to rest anymore, today you're reducing your own hours to half an hour, and that's against the rules here," Wanda concluded.

"Not you in charge here, you have no right to govern other workers." Jhana defended herself, because if there was no time for her to rest, then she would not eat for a dozen hours with the same work hours as exhausting as usual.

"Hey Jhana! Say it to yourself! Look before you speak! You have no right to make your own decisions here." Wanda felt furious.

"But I've never arranged for another worker."

"I'm the only one who has the right to set you up when this comes! I work hard when you're not around! You should thank me!"

"A good job that is heavy, it will feel fun if done sincerely. It is better not to be done than not to be sincere, for the non-healings will be felt by others as well."

"You challenging?! Have a brain what?! If not done this restaurant can lose! So don't act as you please!"

"Wanda, but you don't understand" said Jhana.

"Already! Can rot for a long time my ears hear your voice continue, you girls are not clear."

"What do you mean?!" Jhana started to ride.

"Clearly right? Women like you, must be women who get pregnant out of wedlock, then expelled by their own families. Haha, this is karma for you, you cheap woman."

Seeing the situation heated up, Yahya who replaced Dina during the break Dina began to stand up and approached the 2 women. Workers who get the task of washing dishes and cooking began to come out of the kitchen to see what was going on.

Jhana slapped his right hand to slap Wanda, but was arrested by Yahya.

"What?! Wanna slap?! Slap it! You think I'm afraid of you, don't you?! You're a senior here?! Oi! I've never lost to a person who has no self-esteem!" shout Wanda.

"Already, already, you're luring everyone to come here, ashamed to be seen." Yahya tried to hurt them both, while Andra just remained silent.

Jhana's emotions seem to start to drop, she relaxes her hands and starts crying.

"No need to be your holy-ass!" continued Wanda. Only 1 word can be spoken by Yahya. "It."

"One thing you should know, usually someone who says bad things about other people, is much worse than the person he's talking about" Jhana said. Not accepting Jhana's words just now, Wanda tried to grab Jhana's hair to be grabbed, but Yahya managed to prevent it.

"Already, already, if you get caught by Mr. Toni fighting like this, you two can be fired. As long as you don't continue this battle, all of us workers here can still keep our mouths shut not to tell Mr. Toni about this fight. That's why I said, already," Yahya said.

For a moment, the atmosphere managed to calm down, but Wanda immediately spoke up. "Jhana, here our business ends, but not outside. Watch out for you." he then went to the bathroom. Just when Wanda came into the bathroom, Dina came.

The girl looked confused by the sculpting of all the workers in the restaurant, facing Jhana.

"What's this?" only that question can be asked. Jhana answered with a head.

"Why are you so fast, Din?" asked Yahya who was trying to melt the atmosphere.

"I don't feel like it's three o'clock, almost four and a half" Dina replied. All the workers realized that now that it was approaching half-four in the afternoon, they all returned to their respective tasks, especially those in the kitchen.

"Sister Jhana?" call Dina, after everything has been broken up.

"Yes?" jhana Sahut.

"Sister's okay, right?"

"No, no." Jhana threw a sweet smile, then diverted the conversation. "Tomorrow, right?"

"Tomorrow? What's going on tomorrow?" Dina looked astonished.

"Geez, Din, Wednesday's tomorrow, your fiance's family dinner, when you forget."

"Oh yeah, god I forgot! Tomorrow is Wednesday, and it's Tuesday, I think it's still Monday! Be present! I haven't prepared any clothes for the event yet, again!" Dina looks panicked when she realizes that today is Tuesday and her dinner is tomorrow.

Jhana just laughed at her junior's behavior, either because of getting a lot of college assignments, the girl became forgetful of the day.

    At nightfall, the clock shows at 21:10, many workers have gone home, and only Yahya, Dina and Jhana remain. This day was a very tiring day for Jhana, she faced a lot of problems, especially when she only ate before leaving for work, and tonight was the second time she ate for one day.

"You're not coming home?" ask Yahya.

"I went home with Brother Jhana" replied Dina.

"Jhana, it's my duty to be the last to come home and wait for Mr. Toni to come to lock the door of this restaurant, you don't have to feel guilty about what happened this afternoon. Not that you have to replace that half hour in this way, pity your children at home, they must be waiting for you" Yahya said.

"No, it's okay, my kids will be fine." Jhana is still in her stance.

"What happened this afternoon, huh? I guess I'm the only one who doesn't know." Dina is still curious.

"Jhana fought with Wanda" Yahya replied.

"Collapse? Why?"

"Yeah..." Jhana hinted to Yahya not to inform Dina of the incident this afternoon.

"If I don't tell him, he'll keep asking." Yahya gave an excuse. Jhana doesn't dwell anymore.

"Wanda objected because Jhana returned late, and she disputed that Jhana was gone for two and a half hours instead of the time for rest" Yahya explained.

"just that? But, why did everyone in the kitchen get out?"

"You know for yourself how Wanda is. Of course their quarrel is getting jarring what if one of the parties is Wanda."

Dina just nodded, a sign she understood. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Toni, who owns a popular restaurant, came.

"Who? You two haven't come home yet?" ask Mr. Toni to Dina and Jhana.

"Yes, sir, we both want to accompany Yahya's brother again" replied Dina.

Jhana glanced at Dina, it seemed that Dina understood that what to say was not about Jhana's guilt, and this matter had to be kept secret from Mr. Toni.

"Oh, I see" replied Mr. Toni. The three employees then came out and he locked the door of his restaurant.

"I go first, yeah." Mr. Toni said goodbye.

"Yes, sir, please," said the three of them.

"I'm straight on." Yahya also said goodbye after Mr. Toni left. Dina and Jhana just smiled.

"Don't you want me to take a taxi?" tawar Dina's.

"Not to." Jhana refuses.

"Well, tomorrow morning at ten I'll pick up Jhana's sister in the contract, okay? We're shopping for clothes."

"Yes," Jhana replied with a smile.

    Arriving home, Jhana is greeted by her youngest son, while Mona is fast asleep, as well as Fina who is asleep on the book. "Mother." Zhani hugged Jhana. Jhana smiles at her three children, they are like angels to her, she then locks the door of her house, then covers Mona properly, pulls Fina's book and covers her.

"Zhani didn't sleep?" ask Jhana.

"You're being cheated on" the boy replied.

Jhana smile. "Mom change first, yeah."

Just as Jhana was about to walk towards the closet, Mona suddenly called out to her. "Mother." Jhana turned towards her eldest daughter, who immediately embraced her.

"I'm sorry, mom, I was so presumptuous to talk to you, I don't want to be an ungodly child."

Jhana returned the hug of her daughter warmly, she realized that everything Mona said this afternoon was true, as a mother, Jhana could not understand 100% of the feelings of her children, she said, maybe he shouldn't keep hiding their father's identity, hiding his past. But it all takes time, slowly but surely, Jhana promised herself to tell all the truth to her 3 children.

"Mother is also sorry, dear, as a mother, mother may not be able to make you happy and always make you suffer" said Jhana who began to tear up her eyes.

"No, you never make us suffer, you're the greatest woman I admire, because you're always trying to make us happy."

Hearing this, Jhana then kissed her eldest daughter's cheeks, and smiled afterwards, Mona smiled and hugged her mother, again, but this time tighter.

"It's been, it's been," said Jhana, wiping away Mona's tears after the little girl let go of her embrace.

"Tomorrow in the morning at ten, sister Dina wants to invite us to go shopping for new clothes, but it looks like Fina can not come because she has to go to school. That night we were invited again to eat with his fiancee's family. So, we have to go to sleep quickly," continued Jhana.

"Well, Mona was impatient" Mona said. Jhana laughed a little at the enthusiastic look of her son.

    The change of day came, the next day, according to the agreement, Dina invited Jhana, Mona and Zhani to shop for their clothes and clothes that they will use tonight. After choosing a lot of clothes and pants, and spend a lot of time, the clothes you want to get.

Jhana thanks Dina, and feels bad, but Dina who already considers Jhana as her own sister feels Jhana does not need to feel bad, moreover, they picked up Fina by taxi and Dina told the taxi driver to take them to Jhana's contract, this of course adds a bad taste to Jhana.

    As usual, when Wednesday comes, Jhana's time is only for her children, she also does homework, assisted by Mona. Jhana remains unable to chat with her neighbors, she keeps busy all day, with endless work. Even Jhana has its own reasons why not buy a TV other than because it does not have money, which is because it is afraid that in the end it will not be used as well.

Because he left home at 5:30, drove Fina to school, then arrived at the Popular restaurant at 6:45, always home at 21:30. Time to watch TV only at Popular restaurants.

    Today Jhana makes Pudding for her snacks and her children, she chose to make orange flavor Pudding, which brings sweet memories in the past for her.

'The orange flavor rudding is Rashid's favorite food, he always wished I made him the orange flavor pudding when he visited me, Mona and Fina, ' Inner Jhana, he smiled when he saw the Pudding was ready and ready to eat.

'Rasyid, I miss you.'

    The time is rolling very quickly, without feeling, the night has arrived, Jhana and her children are preparing to wait for an invitation from Dina who usually uses a taxi. They're all tidy with their own suits. Jhana, who usually only wears a thin powder, a thin pigtails and a thin lipstick, now finally uses her make-up with a complete formation. She looks beautiful with her own make-up, which had made her children pangling.

Jhana wears a heart-red dress and high heels, Mona wears a beautiful dress and skirt, with her horse-pointed hairstyle. Fina wore a puffed-up sleeves shirt lined with long-sleeved shirts that only covered the chest. Zhani wears a shirt and trousers.

And after waiting for 10 minutes, finally their invitation came, came out the figure of Dina who made them all pangling with her makeup that makes anyone can not say ugly.

"Well, sister Dina is so beautiful" praised Fina.

"You're beautiful too, baby," praised Dina back.

"Sister Jhana?!" Dina looked surprised to see Jhana. "This, brother?!"

"Don't be more," said Jhana while blushing in embarrassment.

"Hehe, come on in, we'll be late" Dina said.
