Mentari's Story
new activity

❤❤❤

In the taxi...

The pensive sun stared blankly out the window.

"Heuum... "

He let out a heavy sigh, the burden he was carrying was getting heavier and stifling his chest.

Whether he will be strong to face the Dafa attitude that he feels more and more indifferent, stubborn and rude.

Mentari himself is not sure, but what can he do? where to complain? if he had to leave, he was ashamed of his family.

"Dad... " He was muttering.

Lately he misses the figure of his family, as if he was embarrassed to meet and tell the situation now. But she didn't know who to hold on to and lean on? while the figure of Dafa that can always be relied on, now seems to be lost direction and turned in the wrong direction.

The phone inside his bag vibrated to disperse his daydream, Mentari immediately reached into his bag.

"Yes...

"...

" Want, I'm going to college, this is again on the road almost there." The answer.

"...

the call ended, and the online taxi stopped in front of the entrance gate.

Mentari came down with slow steps, very lazy.

Cindy was waiting in front of the security guard.

" Lama... " He grunts annoyed.

"I'm putting this away!" Mentari gave some papers his task.

"Where are you? you're not going to class?" Cindy asked as she received the papers her best friend had offered.

"I... Want to meet people, I got a job at the cafe yesterday." Said whispering.

"What's? you're pregnant again. Dance." Cindy screamed in disagreement with her best friend's decision.

"Nothing, last week I went to the doctor he was healthy, and I have to work is not possible?" Smiling mentari trying to cheer.

"Why not in the market? I'm sure, surely you can work.don't bother, however it's still mostly your father's." Cindy still disagrees with Mentari's decision.

The mentari shook his head, and bowed.

"I'm ashamed, if my family knows, how now my life that I once believed would be better than being in their midst, but in fact all their estimates are correct. I don't want Dafa to get cornered. He is at his low point. And I have to be strong to support her, don't I?" He told Cindy who was still faithful to listen.

"Udah yes! I was waiting for the cafe manager at 10, from his owner I was already in Accept, just stay to meet his assistant to make a work schedule. I'm at ease to adjust to the schedule." Hugged his best friend.

"Boss lu... You know what you are? Cindy moved her hands to form a circle on her stomach.

" Tau, she knows I'm pregnant. That's why I have to take this job, it's very flexible as I am."

"I'm leaving, leave the job!" Mentari walked back towards the online taxi that was still faithfully waiting.

Cindy looked at him pity, Patience yes.I'm sure this is only temporary, you must be strong Tar... " Cindy passed to her class.

In front of the cafe door, Mentari took a deep breath and exhaled quickly, regulating her heartbeat so as not to be nervous.

His footsteps brought him in, the state of the cafe was still quiet there were only a few employees were cleaning the table and sweeping some corners of the cafe.

"Ekhm... Excuse me. "he said to someone behind the counter.

"Yes? what message do you want? " Tell the man friendly.

Mentari just smiled then his eyes looked at the name printed behind the uniform "Beni" he muttered softly.

"Mba? can I help you?" Ask again in a loud voice.

"Eh... Sorry, Mas when yesterday I was told by Ms. Nina to meet with Mas Beni." Said explained.

The man smiled as he pointed to the name on his shirt.

"I... You're a new worker, who was recommended by Nina yesterday? the soft tan is very friendly.

" Yes, Mas. I was told to meet with Mas, make a schedule of work he said." Mentari crumpled the bag he was holding.

"Follow me, into the room. We'll talk there."

"Ron..take the cashier's desk!" call him to a man who is tidying the table.

"Ready, Mas." Answer the man.

Beni walks out of the counter and Mentari follows him in the back.

"Come, please sit down" he ordered.

Mentari was sitting in a chair directly opposite the man named Beni, only blocked the table a little messy by the papers.

"Sorry yes, messy. I haven't had time to settle this." His hands were nimble tidying the paper on his desk.

After a while he cleaned his desk, which could not be separated from the attention of Mentari.

"First acquaintance dong? I'm Beni." While stretching his hand

"I'm Mentari', Mas."

"I was Nina's assistant, niece, cashier, sometimes driver and more." Lightly while chuckling.

The mentor who heard him laughed, the man in front of him was mature, friendly, and humorous... His old Dafa.

For whatever sake he misses the perverted, ridiculous and indisputable Dafa. It is not Dafa who is just silent and angry like now.

"Hey... instead daydream?" Beni flicked his finger in front of Mentari's face

"Ma.. I'm sorry!" the panic.

"It's okay, so ready to work here?" his tanned hands clenched on the table waiting for the answer of the woman before him.

Actually he felt sorry to see Mentari, young girl but her fate seemed unlucky. Make it in position now. Last night she and Miss Nina, who is none other than her own aunt, had talked about the situation of a young pregnant woman but decided to work it out.

"I'm. ready Mas." Answer Mentari.

They also asked each other questions and Mentari explained all his circumstances, lecture hours and his desire to be at home at what time.

"Ok, after checking your lecture hours often in the morning, and the state of you who are a pregnant woman. What if you start working from 1pm to 7pm, can you?" tanyakanya.

"Can Mas." he agreed.

"Just your working hours should not be more than 6 hours, according to Ms. Nina's orders." he said.

"Why? how many hours is normal? I don't feel good about the others." Mentari strafed Beni with questions.

"The other 8 hours, the morning shift from 8 to 3 pm, if it's 3 pm to 11 pm" explained Beni.

"Oh, if that's what I'm about to do with the others! I don't feel good about being special." he suggested.

"It's okay, because your salary is different from them, a little different is okay, right? Let them not be envious." Beni explained while smiling kindly. His lips could not escape the smile and the sound of hoarse laughter from his mouth.

"Good, Mas. I want and am ready to work." Mentari.

"Welcome to this cafe, Tari."

Beni again extended her hand to shake hands. The mentari greeted him and they threw smiles at each other.

"Now I'm starting work, Mom? " Consider asked .

" When you are ready, I am here and teach you a little. You see, I hold two places of business Bu Nina in this city." His word.

"Usaha what is Mas? cafe too?" Mentari tried to familiarize himself when he knew more Beni who was cool to talk to.

"No, there's a boutique in town." Say again.

"So I'm turning between this boutique and this cafe."

"Great, Miss Nina." Praise her.

"Yes, he focused more on the boutique, if my cafe asked. And the cafe is only in Bandung. While there are two boutiques in Bandung same Jakarta." The two men explained.

"yuk. We're starting the introduction." Invite him while getting up from his seat walking along out of the room.

Mentari learned quickly, any tasks he had to do, as well as any things he needed to pay attention to.

"Udah afternoon, even more than 6 hours you work, later the overtime I have to pay." Beni who just came to the cashier table terrorizes Mentari who is still cool with his new job.

"Eh, that's okay, Mom. I love this partnership, so time feels so bad." The mentor closes the money drawer when he finishes calculating all income.

"Thank you if you like it, but you still have to go home. I'll be teased by Nina's mom." And then they laugh together.

"Okay, I'm going home. Then tomorrow I start from 1 o'clock huh? finished college?" tanyanya.

"Yup.. That's right, don't be late! cut the pay." Goda.

Mentari laughed as she walked out of her seat as a cashier.

"Not yet to receive a salary, Mas. I was threatened with a pay cut, horrified to know." Mentari also chimed in Beni's temptation.

"Now, your uniform. I give you the jumbo, let it be comfortable until your belly is big." Beni gave a totebag containing two uniforms with the cafe logo.

"Thank you, Mom." Say Mentari with a smile.

Beni glued Stare at him, "Beautiful..." His inner.

"I, go home first, Mas." said.

Beni who was fixated on the beautiful face of Mentari was stunned, "I. yes, please. Careful or will I drop off?" bargained for.

"No, it's still afternoon. Who's the cashier waiting for?" Mentari knocked on the cashier table made of black Marble stone.

A pat of Beni landed on his own forehead. "yes, forget." chuckled.

"Me, say goodbye!" Mentari also smiled waving his hands also at some other employees who were near them.

Beni smiled his gaze could not be separated until Mentari's back was lost behind the door.
