#30 ~Firo~ Struggle

...~Firo~ Struggle...

The car moves unbalanced sometimes too to the right, sometimes turning itself. From her face, Kak Dini looked tense, scared. But thank God, we arrived safely. "Just keep practicing often, later can definitely. Including extraordinary, just brought it can walk. From now on you bring a car," said Kak Dini.

Thumbs up, I smiled at him. Outside was Elma who was walking towards the restaurant, I rushed out, my hands waving. "Please Brother" I said to Kak Dini.

"Yes, both dear Hani, remember to bash if there is something rude."

I nodded, then went over to Elma. We walked together to the restaurant, while on the road suddenly Boss the road next to me, saying, "The spirit of the day, Hani." The boss smiled at me.

Here and there I feel the Boss's treatment with me is a little excessive, it seems like Boss has other intentions. We went into the restaurant, and started to clean up all the appliances in the kitchen. "You know what? Sofi did not leave today" said Elma, laughing.

Hearing that I felt a little guilty, whether because he was afraid of me, or indeed there was something else that made him unable to leave today. I smiled at Elma. "Why are you supposed to be happy?"

I picked up the book and wrote, "I feel like I shouldn't be that hard on her."

"No papa, for his lessons so as not to be careless here, from the first he was pretentious to power, already rich Boss only. Before there was you, he was the Boss' favorite son" said Elma. His eyes seem to hate Sofi.

I wrote again, "Well, he's the Boss' favorite kid?"

"Yes, she said Sofi was the boss' mistress, but don't say anything" whispered Elma in my ear.

I was shocked to death, but I did not immediately believe the new news he said. Before I looked in front of my eyes, and there was definite proof I didn't believe the news of the birds. I was always taught by my grandmother, as much as possible avoid talking about the ugliness of others, avoid envy.

People who like to say bad will forget the goodness of many people, there may be a spiteful nature in him, how difficult life is when the heart is filled with spite. People will always focus on correcting the ugliness of others and looking for gossip material with the same person as him.

With a flurry of focus on others, that person will lose many opportunities to move forward. There should have been a lot of work done, just because of the lack of others the work disappeared. What I said just now is different from the case with the person giving the criticism and advice.

A person who gives criticism and advice is a person who is considerate of others, because the person wants to see the progress of others. Again Elma said, "But only she said...."

I wrote, "We're working."

We continued the work, the restaurant began to open. We are waiting for the first visitor, because it is still too early, visitors are still not coming. We were still relaxing in the kitchen, the chef was joking, "A serving of pasta!" said the head chef.

Everyone is getting ready at their own place. Me and Elma were the same, it was ready.No need to wait a long time, the order was ready, this time delivering Elma. I'm waiting for the next visitor. Not finished Elma deliver the order, visitors have come again.

The head chef started to read the paper written by the customer, all the chefs on duty started to prepare the order, after everything was ready I delivered it. When I came out, it turned out that the visitor was Firo. Inside my heart says why I should deliver it,

I began to put Firo's order on the table, his eyes not carelessly watching me. After that, Firo smiled, "I want to meet the restaurant manager" said Firo.

I nodded, but did not look at his face at all. I went to the Boss' room, wrote, "Boss, there are visitors who want to meet."

"Okay, tell that customer to wait a minute."

"okay."

Without further ado I went straight to the kitchen, I was very surprised by this guy, actually what he wanted from me. Peering from the kitchen door, Boss is chatting with Firo, Boss' gaze looks very serious. Elma who had just finished delivering her order met me in the kitchen said, "Hani, called Boss in front."

I immediately headed to where the Boss, who was still sitting next to Firo. "Please accompany this Father, because he wants to wonder about the restaurant. I still have a lot of work to do" said the boss.

Actually I'm very uncomfortable to see it, but how else, this is Boss's order. There are still many employees who understand more about this restaurant, I am still new here. Why should I be the one the Boss told to accompany Firo. We sat together, I sat a little bit away from him.

"I'm not a bad person, so please be a little kind to me" Firo said.

I wrote, "Good, sir."

"Actually I don't want to ask about the restaurant, I just want to find a mealmate. Can I have a meal and talk to me?"

Inwardly wanting to speak harsh words to her, I am a restaurant servant not a servant of her life. I can't refuse her request, because this job means so much to me. I'm nodding.

"I'm a surgeon, may I ask ?"

Again I just nodded. "Is your condition of sound, already from birth?"

"It's been since birth, there's been damage to my vocal cords" I wrote.

"There's a cure, do you want one?"

"I've been following various types of treatment, but the results are still nil, plus I don't have much money so, I don't want to," I continued.

"What kind of treatment are you going through?"

I wrote again, "Therapy and taking medicine for a long time."

"The treatment I mean is different from the treatment you have been on, yes it may be 50% success rate, but this is a very good opportunity to try. Don't think about the cost, I'll bear it all."

I shook my head still rejecting her wishes, I was glad that there was someone as good as her who wanted to help me even though her treatment of me was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't want to trouble anyone else anymore. Actually I was surprised, he who I just saw, did not know more deeply, but it was as good as offering help.

"OK if you don't want to, can I at least ask for your phone number?"

My heart was worried, I didn't want to be bothered with him anymore, but my gut feeling he was a good person. I fell silent, then wrote, "08xxxxxxxxx, this is my number. But remember, you can call me if there's anything important."

Firo smiled widely, looking very happy. Then he said, "Finally, okay be ready."
