A woman is seen sitting in front of her computer, her long hair tied up high showing her white collar neck. Her face seemed to be commenting on the sweet smile when there were people coming to pay for their food.
"Everything is 600 mothers, thank you for the visit" she said, handing over the change to customers.
The woman was none other than Stella who now works as a cashier at one of Daniel's restaurants. Actually Daniel has given all the things that Stella needs as long as she is in her new place, but Stella does not want to rest on her hands with the help of Daniel, for which she chose to work alone.
All of this is his desire not Daniel's desire, then why Daniel must meet his needs. After all, Daniel has also helped her a lot, including helping her escape from her husband and go to the city of Surabaya
"Stella, it's lunch time, let's take a break" said Maira, one of Stella's friends who also worked as a waitress at the restaurant.
"Yes, you go first, I'm still counting this first," said Stella still feeling she's not so hungry and wants to finish her job first.
"You've always been like that, have you forgotten that now you're two-bodied," said Maira only with a faint smile by Stella.
Stella smiled softly, then looked down where her stomach was already visible protruding at 4 months of pregnancy. Yes, right, the current age of pregnancy has entered the fourth month. It didn't feel like 2 months had passed since he left Xander.
2 Months is not an easy time for Stella. Many things that he has gone through, yes who often can not sleep because he felt the disease that sometimes attacked suddenly. Or sometimes it is the talk of the employees there, many people think that she was pregnant with a child from Daniel and deliberately kept secret.
"How are you?" inner Stella looked far away, lately she often dreamed about her husband. In his dream he sees Xander who keeps asking him to come back. Stella sometimes thinks if this decision is right?.
"Good afternoon Miss Stella," a heavy voice greeted behind Stella's back. He recognized the voice so well, he turned his head and met Daniel who was standing firmly behind him.
"Sister Daniel? Brother when are you here?" stella was surprised to see the sudden presence of Daniel.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was coming" Daniel said, noting his sweet smile.
"Ah yes, maybe I forgot sister," said Stella is often forgotten something since pregnant.
"Why is it still working? It's lunchtime, let's take a break, don't over-examine yourself Stella," said Daniel, shaking his head, not understanding why a woman would refuse the comfort she was given.
At a time when all women race to get a luxury, but Stella actually prefers to work hard rather than accept help from Daniel willingly.
"Well, if the boss asks, how can I refuse" Stella joked, inviting Daniel's sweet laugh.
"If you challenge me, I'll fire you." Daniel returned the joke and made Stella laugh.
"Don't dong sir boss, I'm pregnant again, it must cost a lot, you don't pity me?" stella said showing her already protruding belly.
Daniel's gaze changed softly seeing that, no matter what he was thinking at that moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stroke Stella's stomach.
"Is he okay?" daniel looked after him full of love.
Stella froze, shocked by what Daniel did. For some reason his eyes suddenly glazed over because his heart suddenly remembered Xander's figure, shouldn't something like this be done by a husband to his wife?
"She's doing fine, sister, she's growing very healthy in my stomach" Stella said, feeling suddenly bad when Daniel touched her stomach.
Daniel smiled at that. "How about we eat out this afternoon?" daniel wants to have more time with Stella.
"Well, I'm bored with the food here, I'd love to try the demon rawon, here most viral, you ever heard?" say Daniel again.
"Rawons? What is Brother doyan?" stella's taunts chuckled small.
"Bigger, I've been here a lot, almost all the food here I've tried" said the postulate pinching the cheek of Stella.
Again Stella was surprised by Daniel's behavior.
"Well, if you want to eat out, but I'm gonna go get my bag first" Stella said goodbye to the back room, he also could not bear to refuse Daniel's request also nest rarely come here, especially the man had helped him a lot.
As Stella passed the employee locker, she overheard a whispering person. Actually, it could not be said to be whispering because the sound was very clear in Stella's ears.
"Look tuh, again dong apelin the same Mr. boss, new beaches come, the work is already good. It turns out there are dalem," said Celine glanced at Stella with the corner of her eye. He is one of the seniors who really dislikes Stella, he considers Stella just a cheap woman who feeds her body to Daniel to climb social status.
"Yes obviously Cel, so he was brought Mr. Daniel here. Let what try? Let their relationship unfold there," said Celine's friend to corner Stella.
"Sobject to disgust, there are girls who want to be slept until pregnant but not married. If I'm a pity," said Celine looking at Stella with a scornful look.
Stella took a deep breath, too used to hearing the ridicule from her senior. It can even be said that his daily food, Stella does not want to add to the problem by responding to the remarks of his seniors. It is better to avoid everything they say is not true.
"Udah?" daniel asked when Stella came back to see him in front.
"Yes, sister, but my time to rest is only 30 minutes," said Stella did not want to be the talk of her friends again if she took a long break.
"Who said? I'm the boss here, so I have a right to decide when you go back to work or not" Daniel said at will, he's still not willing if his time with Stella is only 30 minutes.
"Despite that, you can't use your sister's job to behave as you like, what will my friends say if I'm constantly getting privileges from you?" stella really lived quietly there.
"Why should you think of them? Do you think they'll think of you too?" daniel said he didn't understand why Stella had such a good heart.
Not that he did not know if all this time, Stella was often the senior months here. But the woman never complained about it to him.
"So big brother, but I only have 30 minutes. If you want to let's go, if not already" Stella said, not arguing with Daniel.
"All right, I'll obey your wishes, you little prank," murmured Daniel relented.
Stella smiled a little he then followed Daniel's steps to his car and continued the journey to the devil raw food that is very famous in Surabaya.
In this city is not much different from the city of Jakarta, the vehicle is very dense air pollution everywhere, Stella used to be uncomfortable when coming there, he said, but now he was getting used to being in the city.
Happy Reading's.
