After breakfast, Indhira took the time to visit the graves of his parents. Although only visiting the tomb, the feeling of longing for both parents was treated. Only after completing sending prayers in front of both Papa and Mama's navel, the three of them went back to Rissa's house.
" Asalamualaikum, Om, Aunt." Indhira greeted Rissa's parents and kissed them both. Since today is a working holiday, upon arriving at Rissa's house, Indhira is greeted completely by both of Rissa's parents.
" Valassa, Indhira. Thank God you can come back here again," said Aunt Lidya hugged Indhira's body like hugging her own daughter.
" I'm sorry, Auntie. I trouble Auntie and Om continue." Although Rissa and the family were always kind to her, sometimes Indhira felt bad to always trouble them.
" You know for yourself, don't you, Auntie? If his wish was rejected, what would he look like!?" Lidya's mother jokingly mocked Rissa who came behind Indhira followed Adam who brought both Indhira suitcases.
" Relief, Ma. Charity! Do a lot of good, let alone help orphans like Indhira who was committed by Om and Aunt who were evil was blessed, Ma!" Rissa responded to her Mama's innuendo casually.
" Where's Aunt Sandra, Tan?" Indhira asks where Aunt Sandra is.
" It's in his room. Just now Auntie brought it into her room," said Ms. Lidya.
" I want to meet Aunt Sandra, can't I, Tan?" Indhire asked Ms. Lidya's permission to meet Aunt Sandra.
" Just go in, Indhira. The room is in front of the family room" replied Ms. Lidya.
After getting permission from Ms. Lidya, Indhira rushed to meet Aunt Sandra in the room appointed by Ms. Lidya. While Mother Lidya and Mr. Edwin chatted casually with Rissa and Adam.
Indhira stared at the helpless body sitting in a wheelchair. Very different from one year ago, the forty-year-old woman can now only rely on others to serve her daily activities.
" Aunty ..." Indhira kissed Aunt Sandra's hand and hugged her. Aunt Sandra is one of the people who contributed to Indhira's life besides Mr. Edwin, Ms. Lidya and also Rissa. They are not all people with whom they have a blood relationship.
" Aunty how are you? I'm glad to see Aunt back." Although Aunt Sandra could not answer her question. However, Indhira is sure that Aunt Sandra can hear his words.
" Nr. .. eee ...."
" Thank God I'm fine, Tan." Indhira seemed to understand what Aunt Sandra wanted to ask.
" From today, I'll be guarding Auntie here with Aunt Lidya. We're gathered here, Tan. You see, Rissa will soon be getting married, so Auntie is not lonely here if Rissa comes with her husband later." Indhira continued to tell cheerfully. Although his heart felt sliced at the condition of his former boss.
" Oh yeah, Tan. Where's dhika?" Have not seen each other for a long time. If I'm here, I can help Dhika work on the peer huh, Tan!?" During this time, Indhira helps Dhika in the lessons. He was like a private tutor to Dhika, so Aunt Sandra's only child was always the class champion and got high marks.
" You must have the spirit to heal, Sandra. Your eldest son came here to accompany you." Lidya's mother went into Aunt Sandra's room. Join Indhira who is inviting Aunt Sandra to communicate. Even Mother Lidya called Indhira as the eldest son of Aunt Sandra.
Indhira saw a puddle of clear fluid in Aunt Sandra's eyeball. And before long those tears were on Aunt Sandra's cheeks. Indhira was powerless not to tear up to see Aunt Sandra crying. In fact, Indhira to wrap his hand on the shoulder of Aunt Sandra while rubbing the back of Aunt Sandra as if to show if she cares very much with the person who for more than five years gave her a lift of life and work.
" Inhira is a devoted child, it's not wrong that you raised him, right, San!?" Lidya's mother said her sentence in a joke.
" Inhira, Aunt thank you, because you want to help Auntie take care of Sandra," said Ms. Lidya.
" Aunty, Aunt Sandra has been good to me, it's appropriate for me to repay the kindness of Aunt Sandra." Indhira said the honest thing she felt.
" You're a good boy, Indhira. Aunty hopes you'll get your soul mate and catch up with Rissa soon." Lidya's mother prayed that Indhira would soon be reunited with her soul mate.
For this time, Indhira did not dare to respond to anything other than saying the word ', Aamiin' in her heart. Although he did not want to dream too far about his soul mate. She still feels afraid to reconnect with men because she still feels traumatized.
***
One week Indhira in Jakarta, he only focused on caring for Aunt Sandra. And have not started looking for a new job. During this one week Indhira was very painstaking and patient in taking care of Aunt Sandra, like a child to her mother and a nurse who was paid handsomely to care for important patients.
Entering the second week, Indhira began to move in search of work. He tried to get some job application letters into offices recommended by Adam and Rissa.
More than five places he submitted applications. Trying his luck, who knows there is one company that needs employees and he can be accepted in the company.
Indhira wiped the sweat on her forehead. The weather in Jakarta this afternoon was very hot. While there was still one more cover letter in his hands. He intended to put the application letter into the last office he went to on Rissa's recommendation.
While walking on the sidewalk to the last office he was in, he saw a beautiful woman get off a luxury car with a boy around the age of two crossing the street.
Indhira imagined that if he was married and had children it might be like that.
" Nephl ...! Where are you going?!"
Simultaneously with a voice heard from someone shouting from inside the car. Indhira also saw a boy get out of the car and ran to follow the woman who crossed earlier. The woman Indhira suspected was the boy's mother.
" Naufal don't run!!" Shouted a woman in a baby sitter uniform who got out of the car.
Seeing the boy in a red and white uniform was about to cross the road that many vehicles passed, Indhira quickly acted. He chased after the boy and caught the body of the boy who had already managed to get close to the body of the road.
Buuuggghhh
" Abinskh ...!!" Indhira grimaced as she felt the garden han hard on her right arm and back, causing her to fall. Fortunately, Indhira was still able to protect the little boy by clutching tightly to his body, even though he was finally struck by a speeding motorbike.
" Athaghfirullahal, Naufal!!" Shouted the nanny was running to take Naufal who was still in the arms of Indhira.
" Hey, take care of the right boy, dong! If that kid gets hit, I'll get in trouble!!" The motorcyclist who grazed Indhira rebuked the nanny without apologizing to Indhira.
" I-I'm sorry, sir." The babysitter apologized to the biker.
" Sir, is it okay? Thank you for saving Naufal." After the biker left, the babysitter thanked Indhira who was still sitting limp on the shoulder of the road.
" Naufal why, Sus?" The beautiful woman who was carrying the two-year-old boy was seen running closer to Naufal who still looked shocked.
" So Naufal wanted to catch up with Mom. Naufal was almost hit but was helped by this ma'am." The babysitter told me the real story.
" Oh my goodness, Naufal! Mama said wait a minute with Sus Ina! Don't come with Mama!! What if Naufal got hit??" The beautiful woman handed the child she was carrying to her sister and hugged Naufal.
" Alma where's Sus?" ask the woman to Sus Ina.
" Alma's still sleeping in the car, ma'am" replied Sus Ina.
Indhira himself is now trying to get up even though his knee still feels weak. He also took his cover letter that fell because he was released when he helped a little boy named Naufal.
" You're okay? Thank you for saving my son." Mama of Naufal thanked Indhira.
" Yes, Mom. Equally," said Indhira while holding his arm and walking withstanding the pain in his leg that seemed to be sprained.
" You're hurt, huh? I took her to the hospital, huh!?" The woman intended to take Indhira to the hospital because she saw Indhira had difficulty walking while carrying her shoes.
" No need, Mom. I'm okay, really!" Indhira refused Mama's offer from Naufal while wagging her clothes and skirt, cleaning the dirty parts.
" We're applying for a job, right!?" the woman asked to see the black and white clothes Indhira was wearing and the brown envelope Indhira was holding.
" Oh, I-yes, Mom." Indhira blushed embarrassed to be caught looking for work so she hid the cover letter behind her body.
" You seem to be hurt, huh! You better go to the hospital, let me take you!" The woman walked towards her car by leading Naufal. " Sus, please help the mother to the car." the woman ordered Sus Ina.
Indhira wants to keep resisting, but she doesn't feel good Mama the little boy she helped keep forcing her to check her condition into the hospital.
" What's your name?" the woman asked as she started driving her car to the hospital to treat Indhira.
" I'm Indhira, Ma'am." said Indhira who sat next to the woman.
" I'm Azkia, just call me Kia." The woman introduced her name to Indhira.
" You want to apply for a job, huh?" ask Azkia back.
" Yes, Mom."
" Apply a job where?"
" The plan was at PT Sejahtera Sentosa near the incident, Mom." Indhira mentioned where her plan was to apply for a job.
" Have you worked before?" ask Azkia back.
" ever, Mum. I used to hold a bookkeeping salon in Semarang." Indhira recounted her work experience.
" What are you graduates?" Azkia was like a reporter who was interviewing the source in detail.
" I'm just a two-accutancy diploma graduate, ma'am."
" How old are you?"
" Twenty-four years, ma'am."
" Hmmm, if you work not in an office, will you not?" Azkia seemed to have a plan so she asked Indhira.
" Working not in an office. Like you work in a salon, it's not an office job. If you want, I'll tell my husband, who knows if I can work in my husband's cafe." Azkia explained the meaning of his words.
" I'm ready to work anything as long as it's still halal, ma'am. Want to be in the office or not" replied Indhira honestly.
" Yes, later after the hospital, we stopped by my husband's cafe first, huh!?"
" Want to give me a job?" Indhira's eyeballs instantly glazed over knowing he was offered a job easily by Azkia.
" You've helped my son, so I'll try to help you find a job for you." Feeling indebted because Indhira saved his first son, Azkia also intends to repay Indhira's good deeds to him.
" Thank you very much, Mom. May Allah SWT always protect Mother and Mother's family." Indhira prayed that the good of Azkia would be rewarded with the kindness of the Creator.
" Aamiin .." - Azkia.
***
After checking from the hospital Indhira, Azkia's car drove to the radio studio and cafe where her husband was based daily.
" You just wait here, yeah!? Sit down first, I'll tell my husband. Your feet will still hurt if you have to climb the stairs." After arriving at the cafe, Azkia told Indhira to wait at a cafe table. Because he felt Indhira would have difficulty with his sprained legs if he climbed the stairs.
" Okay, Mom." Indhira obeyed what Azkia had ordered.
" If you want to order food and drinks, just order it is okay, free for you," said Azkia back before leaving Indhira.
" good, Mom. Thank you," replied Indhira.
While waiting for Azkia to return, Indhira noticed the cafe building is quite spacious with the interior that fits for people who are young at heart. Moreover, there is an FM studio upstairs, it feels more relaxed to enjoy eating and drinking in the cafe.
Indhira circulates the view to see the cafe visitors. Nearly ninety percent of seats are filled, as the current time has already entered lunchtime
Ddrrtt
Indhira's phone suddenly went off, quickly taking her phone which she had stored in her bag.
" Ra, how? Has everything gone in order to get her cover letter?"
Indhira reads an incoming message from Rissa on her phone.
" No, Ris. But I got a job offer. It just so happened that the owner directly offered me the job." Indhira quickly replied to Rissa's incoming message.
" Oh yeah? Thank goodness then. Where'd you get a job offer, Ra?"
" Inhira, are you here?"
When Indhira was about to answer a message from Rissa back, suddenly a male voice sounded greeting her making Indhira gasp. Spontaneous Indhira allows the view in the direction the sound is coming from.
" Was Adam?" Indhira again surprised to find the figure of Adam who now walked up to him.
" Why are you here, Ra?" asked Adam astonished.
" Does Adam work here?" Not directly answering Adam's question, Indhira actually asked Adam when he saw the name tag attached to the shirt worn by Adam.
" Yes, I work here. Why are you here, Ra?" adam asked back, he wondered why Indhira could be in the cafe owned by Raffasya.
" I was brought here the same owner of this cafe, Mas." I'm Indhira honest.
" Huhh?? The owner of this cafe??" Adam was stunned to hear Indhira's confession. As she remembered her boss was in the boss's office. How could Indhira claim to be brought by the cafe owner? That's what surprised Adam.
" Yes, Mas. I was taken with Mother .. hmmm, Azkia's mother." Indhira made her words clear.
" You were brought here with Azkia's mother? Ma'am Kia brought you here?" Adam still did not believe his hearing.
" Sir Adam, what are you doing here?" From the direction behind Adam stood, Azkia's voice suddenly sounded.
" How amazing, huh!? Already getting married, seeing a beautiful woman is instantly approached!" Azkiah rebuked Adam, thinking Adam was trying to tempt Indhira.
" Ma, don't talk like that!" This time it was the man beside Azkia who reprimanded Azkia.
" Sorry, Ma'am. I didn't mean to flirt. I'm just shocked to see Indhira is here." Adam tried to clarify so that Azkia did not misunderstand and prejudiced against him.
" Sir Adam knew Indhira?" azkia asked astonished to hear that Adam knew the name Indhira.
" Indhira is my fiancee's best friend, Ma'am. He used to work at my Aunt's salon in Semarang. And only about a week ago he returned to Jakarta. Incidentally Indhira also settled in the house of my fiancee, Mbak. That's why I'm surprised to see him here." Adam explains in full how he got to know Indhira.
" Is that right, Indhira?" Azkia asked about the truth of Adam's story.
" Right, Mom." said Indhira.
" So this is the person you were referring to?" Raffasya, Azkia's husband had heard from his wife about the incident that happened to Naufal, and Azkia's intention to offer a job at his cafe in return for the person who had saved Naufal.
" Yes, Pa. If Mr. Adam knew Indhira well thank you, deh! Could be a recommendation, right, Pa?" said Azkia who hoped her husband could put Indhira in one of the cafes owned by Raffasya.
Raffasya looked at Indhira for a moment, then changed to look at his wife's face for quite a while. He was surprised, not usually his wife was allowed to accept female employees who have beautiful faces. But, if the reason Azkia was because she wanted to return the favor because Indhira had just saved the child, Raffasya finally agreed to Azkia's wishes. Especially after knowing Adam knows Indhira well, so there is no doubt to accept Indhira work, although it does not know where to be placed.
" If it's the boss's mother who gives the mandate, Papa can only obey." The thirty-four-year-old man, who had two sons and one daughter, agreed to the wife's request.
" Oh yes, Indhira. I thank you for your help with Naufal earlier." Not to forget Raffasya also expressed his gratitude because Indhira had helped save his son from a traffic accident.
" The Same, Sir. I just happened to be there" Indhira replied. " I also thank you to my Father and Mother who have accepted me to work here." Indhira is happy to get a job in a new place, let alone the boss where she works very well. He remembered Adam's words about his boss's wife. However, after meeting Azkia face to face, he did not see the scary thing that Adam had said before. Perhaps it was because he met Azkia at the right time so that he could get well acquainted with the boss' wife at the place where Adam worked.
" Inhira, you should rest first until your feet improve, if it is healed, you can start working here." Seeing that Indhira needed time to recover from the injury caused by being dragged by a motorcycle that almost hit Naufal, Azkia told Indhira to recover his condition first before starting his new job at the cafe.
" good, Mom. Thank you." Thank you." I don't know how many thanks Indhira said to Azkia.
" Oh yeah, haven't you ordered any food yet?" Azkia did not see any food and drink on the Indhira table. Of course, because Indhira is embarrassed to order food even though Azkia said that everything she wanted to order was free.
" You haven't eaten, have you?" ask Azkia to Indhira. " Papa's had lunch yet? We'll just eat here!" Azkia pulls out a chair at the table that Indhira occupied followed by Raffasya.
" Sir Adam, please call people to take note of the food menu we want to eat the same for the children and Sus Ina above." Azkiah then gave the order to Adam.
" Good, Ma'am." Adam then leaves the table where Indhira, Azkia and Raffasya gather.
***
" Seriously you work at Mas Adam's, Ra?"
In the afternoon when Rissa came home from work, Indhira recounted her meeting with Azkia which led to her being offered a job at a cafe owned by Azkia's husband who was none other than the cafe where Rissa's fiance worked.
Rissa even to the point of shock and disbelief Indhira could easily be accepted at the cafe where her fiance worked.
" She said the boss' wife was fierce!? But, how can you accept you so easily?" ask Rissa astonished.
" Don't Mas Adam lie so that the grass is invisible, huh!?" Rissa even thought badly of her own lover.
" Hush, don't be so prejudiced, Ris! What Adam said is probably true. Mas Adam had been rumelin with the boss's mother." Indhira chuckles considering that Adam is accused of being teased by Azkia.
" Huhh?? Did Adam get scolded? Indeed why?" Rissa was curious to hear that her fiance had angered the Boss' wife at the place where Adam worked.
" When Mas Adam saw me there, Mas Adam was shocked to keep coming to me and asked why I was there? Uh, the boss' wife instead reprimanded Mas Adam gini' Wonderful, huh!? Already getting married, seeing a beautiful woman is instantly approached!" Indhira practice the style of Azkia ketus talk while ruffled waist. And what Indhira told him made Rissa laugh out loud.
