"This is your new manager, her name is Sabrina!" said Arvan introduced the woman who was beside him.

"Huh, what!" inner surprised.

Sabrina whispered to Arvan, "Is it not wrong?"

Arvan shook his head.

Sabrina forced a smile," Hi!" he said he was nervous about the employees.

Some employees look at each other.

"From today he started working, please cooperate!" arvan said.

"Yes, Sir!" the employees' say.

"Then you can go back to work" said Arvan.

Sabrina immediately pulled Arvan's hand and slightly moved away from her employees.

"Mas, isn't it wrong to give me such a position?" ask Sabrina.

"No."

"Mas, I don't understand being a manager."

"I will teach you" said Arvan.

Sabrina sighed between happy and confused with her new post.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

This morning Arvan picked up Sabrina from her boarding house. This is the first day he will be active.

"Mas, no need to bother picking up. I can go by ojek" Sabrina said.

"It's okay, you've only been here a few days yet." Arvan Clear.

"It's also true, Mas!"

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Already, Mom!"

"What breakfast?"

"Tea and bread only" answered Sabrina.

"It's for you!" Arvan was handing out a paper bag containing a plastic container.

Sabrina opened it,"Fruit salad."

"Yes, for you?"

"Mas, make it yourself?"

"I can't cook, so just buy it!" arvan said.

"Oh, kirain. But this, thanks!"

"Together."

In the shop, Arvan begins teaching Sabrina. The woman was silent and heard every explanation her superior spoke.

"Do you understand?"

"Already, Sir!"

"Why call dad?"

"It's at work, when should I call Mas?"

"Yes too" answered Arvan.

Because this new store so visitors are quite crowded, Arvan offers discounts as promos. Sabrina was overwhelmed to help her other employees. Lunch was two hours late.

"How was it today?" arvan asked as he opened the lid of Sabrina's mineral water bottle.

"Lumayan crowded, sir."

Arvan puts the bottle on Sabrina. "You're just drinking?"

"Still full, sir!"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, you have to eat?" Arvan forced the woman to eat.

"I'm lazy, sir. Still tired" replied Sabrina.

"Wait here" said Arvan then he went to the parking lot to pick up something.

Shortly after, the man came with a plastic bag and handed it to Sabrina.

"This is for me?"

"Yes, for you!"

Sabrina took out a rice box in plastic. "Well, Mr Arvan has eaten?"

"Already," he answered.

"Later I will eat" Sabrina said, closing her rice box.

"Why is it closed again?" ask Arvan.

"I can't eat alone, I'm just worried!"

"So you want, what am I doing?"

"Eat too."

"I'm full" said Arvan.

"Then I eat, wait for you to get hungry!"

"You want me to bribe you to eat?" threatening Arvan.

Sabrina shook her head.

"Yes, Sir!" Sabrina opened the rice box again and started eating it. He began to reminisce, because the sauce was too spicy.

Arvan immediately opened the second bottle of mineral water and his hands began to wipe the sweat on Sabrina's forehead using a tissue.

The woman was fixated as Arvan's hand began to touch her forehead. "Sorry, Sir. I can do it myself" he said with a faint smile.

"Oh, sorry!" Arvan immediately pulled his hand from Sabrina's forehead.

"What level is this? It's very spicy" said Sabrina.

"You don't like spicy?"

"Like it too, sir. If it's painful, this is how it can stand," replied Sabrina.

"Here, don't eat anymore!"

"Why Sir? It's not over yet" Sabrina said.

"Later you have a stomachache" he replied.

"Why are you paying attention to me?" ask Sabrina.

"Because I love you" said Arvan keceplosan.

"What, Sir?"

"Nothing, sorry. Because you're my employee and in this town there's no family. So rather than getting sick is better in nasehati," said Arvan berkelit.

"Alright, I will remove this sambal from the chicken meat," said Sabrina he returned to eating but still not exhausted also because of the satiety of water.

In the evening, Arvan waited for Sabrina to come home because today so crowded visitors to require overtime.

"What do you want to eat?" arvan asked as Sabrina got into the car.

"I'm so tired, Mom. Better just go home" he replied.

"No, you have to eat. What if it hurts? I also bothered," said Arvan.

"Mas, you're just like Mas Judis!" said it.

Arvan who heard it went silent.

Sabrina immediately corrected her words, "Sorry that's not what I mean!"

"Then we go home!" arvan said. The car goes to Sabrina's house.

Along the way the two kept quiet, Sabrina occasionally glanced at the man beside her.

Upon arriving, Sabrina went down she expressed her gratitude but there was no reply from Arvan. His car left the boarding house.

"Your....!" he sighed.

Sabrina was ready to clean up and then she would sleep. Just stepping up the sound of knocking on the door sounded. He also opened the door.

"Mas Arvan!"

"I just want to give you this!" he handed me a plastic bag containing food.

"Thank you, Mum."

There was no answer, the man immediately left Sabrina's boarding house.

"Mas Arvan, why 'yes?" muttered.

Sabrina stepped in again to the bathroom, she cleaned herself and then ate after that for a moment to relax and then slept.

"Yudis, aren't you having breakfast?" ask Linda. After her divorce from Sabrina, she returned to live with her parents.

"No, Ma. I eat at the office" he replied.

"You rarely have breakfast at home, son?" ask Linda.

"Yes, rarely. Brother Yudis is back again single like I am free to go anywhere. Right, Sis?" Rio.

"True" said Judis. "I'm off to work Ma, Pa!" pampered.

"Yes, careful. Don't speed!" yelled Hendi.

After Judis left, Linda asked her husband. "Did he like to speed when he's got a car?"

"Last-lately, yesterday when Papa and Rio were invited to coffee. He took him speeding, usually never so," said Hendi.

"Are we telling him to get married again?" linda's Proposal.

"No need. Later Mama for sister-in-law does not feel at home," said Rio.

Linda hit her youngest son's arm. "Yesterday, my mom didn't like it."

"Will you match up Judis?" ask Hendi.

"Yes, Pa. Mama wants to match him with Stella" Linda replied.

Hearing that name Rio and Hendi stared at each other.

"Is something wrong?" ask Linda.

"Sister Judis does not necessarily want to, let alone Mama mention the name Stella." Reply Rio.

"Stella's a good and obedient person" Linda praised.

Rio laughed hearing Mama Linda praise the woman. "Mama forgot the cause of Brother Judis and his wife because of the woman" he said.

"But Mama wants them both to get married" Linda said.

"Mama try to talk to Brother Judis, lest he get angry. Rio and Papa are not involved in this matter" Rio said.

"True, Papa won't either." Sahut Papa Hendi's.

"You two are unreliable!" Linda's Omel.
