That morning Ajeng had just woken up from his sleep. In the eye area there are dark circles because he was staying up against Arsene who fussed overnight and just fell asleep after the dawn. Fortunately, today there is no teaching schedule, so he will focus on caring for his sick child. Arsene's body temperature is also somewhat better than before. It turned out that his son had the flu, making his nose clogged so that he could not sleep.
"Breakfast, honey!" ferdian said when he saw his wife awake.
"Yes" he replied limply.
Walk towards the dining table. She fixed her messy-looking nightgown. He also rubbed the hair that he could not comb. The woman was completely starved, so she did not have time to think about her appearance anymore. Ajeng took his dinner plate and filled it with the menu that had been prepared by Bi Asih. He also ate his breakfast.
"Where are you going?" tanya Ajeng saw Ferdian was neat. The scent of perfume was pouring from his body.
"You go to the cafe, you want to finish yesterday's business."
Ajeng nodded while bribing his food.
"What do you want, honey?" tanya Ferdian sat down beside his wife.
"Bring your love!" she said flat, making her husband laugh.
"Lack of sleep, can still seduce the husband?"
Ajeng.
"Sorry, I'm a mess and haven't had a shower!" say Ajeng.
"It's okay, the important thing is that Arsene can be comfortable!" Ferdian ruffled his wife's hair.
"I'm leaving first, baby?"
"Yes, be careful, and don't go home. I need you!"
"Yes, baby!" ferdian kissed his wife's forehead.

Before arriving at the cafe, Ferdian had told Ridwan to face him with Sandi. So they had to arrive at the cafe before he came. Ferdian put on his stern facial expression when he came to the cafe. It made his employees become tense instantly.
"Ridwan Sama Sandi has not come yet, Luk?" ask Ferdian when he gets there. Luki who was cleaning the bar table, immediately gasped.
"Udah, Boss! It's in the back!" luki said nervously.
Ferdian went straight to the room where they had a meeting yesterday. He sat on the sofa there. Ridwan and Sandi who were in another area, immediately shuffled away to approach his boss with a tense heart. Both of them sat in front of Ferdian who was bowed looking at the screen of his phone. Ridwan cleared his throat, thinking that maybe today was his last day here. So too with Sandi.
"Have you thought about each of your mistakes?" asked Ferdian looking at the two.
Ridwan downed the salivary. "Gue apologizes Fer, because all this time has not been caring for employees," said Ridwan.
"What fatal mistake did you make, Wan?" asked Ferdian looking intently into the short curly haired male's eyes.
"G-gue.gue has been my employees admitting their mistakes," he said shaking.
Ferdian turned his gaze to Sandi.
"Do you know who that employee is, San?"
Sandi held her breath. His eyes glittered, a few seconds later he glazed over. His hands shook violently.
"I'm sorry for my error, boss! I admit it all because I had to."
Ferdian scratched his brows.
"My mother was very sick, I was confused to find the cost of treatment. While my salary has not been enough to pay for my mother's medical expenses" Sandi explained.
"If so, take me to Lo's house!" ferdian said to test the honesty of his employees.
Sandi's eyes widened, not expecting the words from his boss. But what he said was not a lie. He just did not think that Ferdian actually wanted to come to his house.
"Seriously, Boss?" tanya Sandi doesn't believe.
"Yes! If necessary, we look at your mother now! Wan, you come too!" ferdian. Ridwan nodded.
They immediately rushed to the Sekeloa area, not far from the cafe. Enter into narrow and dense alleys. Finally they arrived at a small green house. Ferdian was concerned about the condition of the Sandi family home which was slum because it was on the riverbank. There was a rickety chair that had been exposed to his skin, Sandi resting her body on it. The sound of screaming sounded. He opened his shoes. As soon as the door of the house opened, several small children came out from inside.
"Naha Aa geus uwih deui (Why is big brother home again)?" ask any boys who may still be in the 4th grade of elementary school. His dark skin looked greasy. The sour smell from his body gushed, perhaps he had just played from the outside.
"Yes babaturan rek ngalongok mamah (This is no meeting to see mamah)!" answer Sandi.
"Oooh.." the boy nodded, then went out of the house.
"Santi kamana, Sep?" tanya Sandi half yelled.
"So mah nuju ka warung (So was going to the stall), A!"
"What's your mother sick, San?" ferdian asked as he entered the narrow house. There were no chairs there, only thin carpet mats made of rubber. Ridwan and Ferdian sat on the carpet.
"Sick of cancer, Boss!"
At once Ferdian's heart felt sliced hearing that. He looked at each other with Ridwan.
"Lo know this, Wan?"
Ridwan.
Sandi was conditioning her mother who was lying weakly on her bedroom bed. Actually he did not feel comfortable because of his messy and narrow house. It was just that he had to prove it in front of his superiors.
"Punten, my mother is sleeping, but if you want to see mah, please!"
Out of curiosity, Ferdian went and saw the condition of Sandi's mother. The woman, who was probably in her 50s, was seen lying limp, her body thin, her face pale. There was a large mound on his chest wrapped in cloths.
"Mother Lo, what cancer?" ask Ferdian again.
"breast cancer. He was sick for almost 4 years. But it's getting worse!" obviously Sandi, her face looks sad.
"Where's your dad?"
"I don't think I have a father. I don't know, since the birth of Asep, he left without news. Now I'm the only backbone for my sisters."
"How many are you?"
"Three."
Ferdian bowed lethargic. Then they went back to the front room.
"Gue apologizes, because I don't know the condition of my own employees. I just hope you never do that again, no matter what the reason!" ferdian said, his voice was reduced.
"I'm sorry, Boss! I promise I will never do that again and I also promise that the money will be deducted from my salary. But please don't fire me, boss! I need this job and to find another job would be hard!" pinta Sandi expectantly.
"Lo promise?"
"Yes, Boss! I promise for God's sake!"
"Gue give you one more chance to work at the cafe. But inget, if you do it again, I will not hesitate to get out at that time!" ferdian said firmly, even though the volume of his voice was still small.
"Thank You Boss! Thanks very much!" sandi Haru said, she was crying.
"And lo Wan!"
Ridwan's heart flinched. He held his breath.
"Gue also gave you a chance to work together. With a note, you must pay attention to all your subordinates carefully. Report to me if there's a problem. I still believe in you!"
Ridwan's heart was immediately relieved to hear that remark from Ferdian.
"Thank you very much, Fer! I promise I'll do even better!"
Ferdian smiled with relief. He was satisfied with the decision he made at the moment. They also returned to the cafe.
"San, I'll talk to you for a second!" said Ferdian when he arrived in the parking lot, he invited Sandi to chat in the meeting room. Ridwan returned to work.
"What's the boss?"
"This is something for you. I want to give a donation for your mother's treatment. Although not much can ease the burden of your life. And you do not need to replace the money that was yesterday, consider it a bonus. But you can't break your promise again huh?"
Mata Sandi sparkles. He even hugged Ferdian so happy.
"I promise, Boss! Thanks much! May God repay the Boss' kindness all along! Hope this cafe is more successful!" he said tears.
"Amijin!"
Ferdian took out a few pieces of red money from his wallet. He gave it to Sandi that day.
"Don't tell anyone!" ferdian Letah.
"Each Boss, thank you very much!"
Ah finally, the problem of Ferdian's cafe was finished. Just need to look at the commitments they have already held. It will be able to assess how the integrity of a worker in the eyes of his superiors.
