The situation in America
Lingga and his family arrived in the city of Uncle Sam. They headed straight to their apartment. Apartment in the elite area, there Lingga will stay for a while.
" Lita, please tell Manda, if we are up," said Lingga.
" What's so important, son ?" mama Nania asked with her jutek face.
" Ma, Amanda must have been there thinking the same Linga,"
" What a feeling you are, son ! at least the kid doesn't care about you anymore,"
" Ma, you can't say that, so how come Manda has a Lingga,"
" Tau ah. Anyway as long as we're here, Mama doesn't want to know, don't take it - take Amanda's name. Know ?"
Shut up, Lita tells Amanda they've arrived in America.
Hearing the good news, Amanda was very happy.
" Mom, mas Lingga rest first yes, later if uda is a little good, I told mas Lingga to call mbak Amanda,"
" It is, Lita. Well - well there yes, greetings to mas Lingga, Father and Mother. "
" It was, uh pretty, "
Lita hung up on that phone.
" Mad, get well soon, hopefully there's an eye donor for you" Amanda murmured.

Situation in Indonesia.
Time passed, Amanda did not want to continue - the canal dissolved in sadness just because of the distance that separated her from the Linga.
That morning, Rani takes Amanda to one of the city's famous restaurants. The owner of the restaurant is a friend of Rani's husband.
They both got there. The owner of the restaurant was named Angga, Angga immediately welcomed the presence of Amanda and Rani.
After talking, Angga also agreed that Amanda worked at his restaurant.
And that day, Amanda went straight to work. Amanda changed her clothes, she immediately became acquainted with other employees.
Amanda is a deft and diligent child, she remains eager to work.
Still a new employee, Amanda worked from morning until night. That night, the restaurant was very crowded. Many visitors came.
Sekar's mother and her family stopped by for dinner at the restaurant. Amanda saw the arrival of her mother and her family. Inevitably, Amanda must serve them. Wearing a mask is the only way that Mother and her family do not know her.
Even if Amanda wears a mask, Ibu Sekar knows that the one serving them is Amanda. Bathin's a mother is never wrong.
After taking down the orders of her mother and family, Amanda hurried away. But unfortunately Ibu Sekar immediately pulled Amanda's hand.
" Amanda ? you work here ?" ask Mother Sekar.
Amanda silence.
Sekar's mother stood up and pulled the mask of her daughter. Mr. Alvan, Nadine and David were shocked to see Amanda there.
" Huhahah, so you work here ?" ledek Nadine with a very strong tone. Until all visitors focus on them.
" Him, why ?"
" When did you work here ?" ask Mom Sekar with her floor.
" What's Mom's business ?"
" No, I'm just, can't I ?"
" Hahaha, what a pity he is Ma, atM as the walk is no more, so want not, he became a waiter restaurant, pity your life, Manda !"
" Nadine, you can't keep low on people, that's not good !" said David.
" Let's just say, he really needs to be taught a lesson,"
" He is, but it can't be, especially in front of a lot of people, you have to be able to keep people feeling, because we don't know how we are going forward,"
" Why did David remember him anyway ?"
" Nadine, what David said is true, you have no right to demean Amanda's work, anyways Amanda's work is halal, son" added Mr. Alvan.
" Sincerely, look at Papa and David's mas against this woman, "
Everyone is silent.
" It's hard to tell this to my family, let alone Nadine, how much she hates Amanda. I don't know where to say it first, I'm afraid that my husband and children will hate me, I don't want to live hard, I don't want to be poor like first, I don't want to....!"
mumble Mother Sekar.
Amanda tried to hold back her tears. He was so ashamed to have been humiliated in front of everyone. And apparently, one of the visitors at the restaurant, there was Amanda's father, her father also came with his family.
Over the years, Amanda's father and mother separated, and they were finally able to meet again at the restaurant.
" Suchar ? that's Sekar ?"
" Ma, Sekar was Papa's ex-wife, "
" Ex wife ? she was Papa's ex-wife ?" while pointing Sekar.
" He, so that's his husband ?"
" Pa, don't mind them."
" Ma, the thing is, Papa and she have a child, a beautiful daughter, Papa doesn't know where she is now, Papa's missing,"
" Why didn't Papa ever tell you that you guys had kids ?"
" That's because of Papa's selfishness, Ma. Amanda must be big,"
" What is Amanda ?" santi asked while pointing at Nadine who was sitting next to Sekar..
" No, Amanda's living with her mother-in-law, Papa doesn't know how they're doing now in the village ,"
" If Papa misses Amanda, we go back to the village, we'll see Amanda there. How's Pa?"
" Are you sure you want to see Amanda ?"
" It is, Pa. Our village is also close to each other, right ?"
" Yes, this is all Papa's fault, Ma. Papa used to be so alone Amanda was with Mom. Papa never even saw their situation. Papa's sorry, for leaving Amanda."
" It's Pa, who passes let it pass. No need to regret it."
After dinner, the visitors were on their way home . She asked her husband for permission to go to the toilet. Radit (Amanda's father) sees that Sekar is going to the toilet. Radit also asked his wife for permission to go to the toilet. Radit told his wife and son to get in the car first.
Santi, Radit's wife could only nod, and he and his son went to the parking lot first.
Radit accelerated his path, he did not want to miss the trail of Sekar.
Because it was quiet, Radit dared himself to call Sekar.
" Snake..... !"
He turned to the voice that called out to him. He wondered why anyone knew his name.
Upon seeing her ex-husband, Sekar was shocked.
" Aren't you Radit ?"
Radit.
" Suchar, you're Sekar, right ?"
" He, it turns out you still know me !"
" How could I forget you. How are you doing ?"
" I'm good - all right,"
" So now, I don't have much time, this is my business card, there's my address and my mobile number,"
Just got that business card. He read it and kept it in his bag.
" If there's time, I want to talk to you" Radit said.
Just nodding his head. Why, Sekar can only be quiet once he sees his ex-husband. Sekar could only be stunned to see the appearance of her ex-husband, Radit changed a lot, now he was more handsome, his body was also more contained, his face was more radiant, different when he was still in the village.
Radit immediately hunted - hunted away. Go back inside the resto. He's looking for Amanda.
" Manda !" call Mom Sekar.
Amanda doesn't care about her mother, she keeps working.
" Manda, I want to tell you the same story,"
" I'm sorry Mom, Manda's working again, please Mom go !"
" It's important Manda, "
" Don't you hear what Manda said? Ga budek's mother, right ? Mommy wants to insult Manda again ?"
" Not that Manda !"
" Here Mom, Manda was not willing to deal with Mother again, just assume that Manda was never in Mother's heart. Manda's tired Mom, please don't bother Manda anymore,"
" Mom's gonna say, there was your dad here, "
" Manda doesn't care here there is Manda's father, Manda's mother, Manda doesn't care. "
" Why are you a bad boy Gini the Manda ?"
" Manda wants to work, excuse me ma'am."
Amanda left My Mom.
" Yes....!"
Sekar's mother kept calling Amanda, but Amanda didn't listen to her mother.
