Unlike the usual days, this morning the sky looked cloudy. But it did not reduce his enthusiasm to keep going to work, Maima stepped foot excited.
Arriving at Restaurant, Maima went straight to the employee locker room.he took his uniform and headed to the small room to change clothes. In front of the toilet he was poking around with Icha.
"Loh Mai, lately why don't you wear a uniform right from home? why?" Icha stared at Maima's body from top to bottom. " And it looks like you're now a bit fatigued huh Mai?"
"Ah, masa' is mbak?" Maima chuckled covering her nervousness. " Oh yeah, I changed first huh mbak."
Inside, Maima pecked his body dikermin. it turns out it is true, he does look more contained and his stomach has been somewhat bloated. Yes naturally, because now the content has entered the third month. "Well Maima, you should be able to! the spirit!" ✊
Maima wanted to see Zakiya first. He sighed deeply and then knocked on the door of his superior room.

"Excuse me ma'am, Assalamallaikum." Maima and did not forget to say hello.
"Oh, you're Maima. What was? come sit down!" Ms. Zakiya invited Maima to sit in a chair directly across from her desk.
"Yes, thank you, ma'am."
" Please Mai, is there anything you want to say?" Bu Zakiya stopped his activities then stared intensely at Maima who looked worried.
"Sorry mom before. Actually my point of coming to see mom is I want to resign ma'am."
"Well why all of a sudden Mai, why do you want to stop working? tell me why until you have to stop working here!"
Finally, Maima expressed her reason for wanting to stop working, she said that she wanted to go home to accompany her grandmother who has been sickly lately.
And he plans to help his grandmother take care of the rice fields that have long been abandoned because there is no one to take care of, all of you also want to accompany and take care of his grandmother.
"Hm....So is that right? Well, I wouldn't have held you back if that's why you're Mai. You are a good boy. Intention and diligent work. We're gonna lose you so much Mai."
"Thank you ma'am for understanding." Maima cupped her hands.
"Then, before you go back to face me, Mai!"
"Good ma'am, thank you. Excuse me ma'am I'll continue my work." Zakiya ma'am also nodded.
When going to the Pantry, a pair of young men and women were walking towards Zakiya's room. Maima nodded at the two.
"Hey wait, you're here!" Feeling called, Maima turned her head back and walked over to them.
"Yes, how can I help you?" Maima spoke politely to the woman because she knew that she was the son of the owner of the Restaurant where she worked.
While the man who was with him of course he knew him very well, he was Rangga. The man continued to look at him until Maima felt uneasy and he always averted his eyes.
"Mbak...mbak, what am I mbakmu? Call me miss!" Reply to the girl with a cynical tone.
"Eh, I'm sorry non Karina. Is there anything I can help you with?" Maima graced her question by changing her calling.
"Bring us to lunch and don't wear it for long! do you know?"
"Yes non, I'll drop you off right away.excuse me!" Maima stepped back towards the pantry.
"May...."
"So, how can I help you too?" Maima glanced at Rangga and then looked back down.
"Sorry Mr. Rangga, if there is no more I want to go back to the pantry. Later your order and miss will soon I deliver." Maima passed by leaving Rangga who was still staring at her.

"Excuse me ma'am!" Maima entered and placed food and drink on the table, nodded and retreated.
"Wait a minute Maima!" Maima turned around and approached Zakiya. " Mai, this is your last paycheck and the severance pay." Handing an envelope to Maima.
"Thank you ma'am, but it's better after my working hours are over ma'am." He felt bad to accept it because even his working hours were not over.
"It's okay Mai, because I want to go home quickly. So yes, now I give you your rights. Goodbye yes Mai and be careful, may all your affairs go smoothly."
Bu Zakiya reached out his hand inviting Maima to shake hands. And Maima greeted him by kissing the back of the middle-aged woman's hand.
Rangga was very surprised to know that. But he could not say anything, just looking at Maima full of guilt. Rangga thought if this had anything to do with him?
"Why did Maima suddenly stop working? is it all because of me?"
"Thank you ma'am." After that Maima rushed out of the room with an envelope in her hand.

"Malays...!"
Hearing the voice of someone who called him turned his head, and how surprised to see Zack who had stood looming before him. Maima was sitting at the bus stop waiting for the angkot to come home.
"Ka...kak Zack, what's the matter here?" Maima looked up at Zack who was still unmoved looking at her....
"Come with me Mai!" Zack pulled Maima's hand and walked to her parked car not far from the bus stop.
"Sister Zack, where are we going, brother? sorry brother I want to go home now!" Maima continued to rebel not wanting to go with the man.
"Calm down Mai, I'll take you to my parents' house. I'll ask them for their blessing, I'll marry you soon Mai. You want to be my wife?"
Hearing what Zack said, Maima became even more afraid? he did not think that the man could be that close. His face began to pale and sweat droplets began to trickle down his forehead.
"What do you mean brother, sorry brother I want to go down now. I don't want. I beg brother!we have nothing to do anymore." Maima kept begging Zack to let her go.
"No Mai, I'll never get rid of you because I love you so much. You don't worry about anything anymore! I'll tell both my parents I'll take you."
"Sister Zack please stop the car, I'll get off! we'll never be together, you have to understand that!"
"I don't want to understand what you want Mai, all I want now is to continue with you forever!"
Zack continues to drive his car at full speed, making Maima even more frightened.
With a trembling body and a face that had already broken into tears, finally the sentence came out of his lips.
" I don't deserve you brother, I'm no longer holy!!"
