" How are the legs equal to your arms, Indhira?" ask Ms. Lidya after Indhira finished helping to dress Aunt Sandra after cleaning first.
" Thank God it has started to improve, Aunt." said Indhira turned to look at Mother Lidya who appeared from the door of Aunt Sandra's room.
" Thank God then. So, when are you gonna start working at the cafe with Adam?" Walking into the room and sitting on the edge of Aunt Sandra's bed, Lidya's mother asked Indhira's plan to work at the same cafe as her future daughter-in-law.
" So Kia's mother also called me, asking when I was ready to start work, Auntie. Maybe the day after tomorrow I can just work there, Auntie." Indhira now combed Aunt Sandra's hair and tied it up.
" That is the name there is wisdom in a calamity, Indhira. You almost got hit for helping a small child, even you are given the same job as the child's parents," said Ms. Lidya chuckled.
" Yes, Aunt. I also didn't expect to get a job this fast." Indhira did not expect to immediately get a job unexpectedly just because he helped a seven-year-old boy.
" That's your sustenance, Indhira." Aunt Lidya. " All this time you are undergoing every problem that you are facing sincerely and not discouraged. Therefore Allah SWT loves you, and always eases all your affairs." Lidya's mother rubbed Indhira's arm. He also felt happy Indhira could rise from the slump experienced by the friend of his daughter.
" Aamiin, Thank God. It was all inseparable from the support and help of Aunt and family. I can't even imagine if there's no Rissa and Auntie. I don't know, what will my fate be like now!?" It is inconceivable if there are no friends who support him, maybe Indhira has been destroyed for a long time.
" Yes, don't remember the bad memories of the past. Right now, you need to stay excited and reach for your goals!" Lidya's mother clenched her hands to encourage Indhira.
" Yes, Aunt. Hmmm, I'm going to get you some breakfast for Aunt Sandra first, Tan." Indhira says he wants to take breakfast for Aunt Sandra and feed her.
" Yes already, sana ..." Lidya's mother lets Indhira out to pick up food for Aunt Sandra.
Not long ago Indhira returned to Aunt Sandra's room with a tray of food and drinks for Aunt Sandra, while Ibu Lidya was no longer in Aunt Sandra's room. During the feeding of Aunt Sandra, Indhira's mouth did not stop talking, as if inviting interaction with Aunt Sandra. Although only responded by Aunt Sandra with the blink of her eyes.
" Aunty, the day after I start work. I won't be able to take full care of Auntie. It's okay, huh, Tan!? But I'm still gonna stay here and meet Auntie every day. I can still help with Auntie's care before she leaves for work like this, Tan." After finishing giving the medicine to Aunt Sandra, Indhira delivered news that might make Aunt Sandra disappointed because Indhira did not have much time to take care of Aunt Sandra, as lived almost ten days of its existence in Jakarta.
" Wish Indi to work there, huh, Tan!? I hope the boss I work for will be as good as Auntie." Indhira rubbed Aunt Sandra's hand, like asking permission from her own parents because she was about to start a new job.
Indhira saw the movements of Aunt Sandra's eyelids winking as if agreeing with what she said.
" Thank you, Auntie. I've always prayed for a cure for Auntie." Indhira grasped both hands of Aunt Sandra who could not be moved by Aunt Sandra while shedding tears. That was followed by teardrops from the eyeballs of Aunt Sandra who was the same as Indhira.

By using an online ojek, Indhira went to a cafe owned by Raffasya. It's Indhira's first day working at the cafe. There was a palpitating feeling in Indhira's heart because he had to socialize with the new environment. He hopes Adam's presence in the cafe can help him overcome his difficulties there later.
" Good morning, sir." Indhira greeted the security guard up ahead. The cafe itself is open at nine in the morning while FM radio operates from six in the morning.
" Morning, Ma'am." Reply to the security guard up ahead.
" I'd like to see Mr. Raffa or Mr. Kia, sir. Is it coming, sir?" Previously Indhira was contacted by Azkia to come this morning at nine. The current time is 08.45 minutes.
" Mister Raffa has not arrived yet, Ma'am. Maybe in a minute. If Mother Kia ... Ms. Kia rarely comes here, Ma'am. At any time to here." Security named Yanto told Indhira.
" Oh, is that it, Pa? Yes, I'm waiting inside, sir?" Indhira asked permission to wait inside the cafe.
" Hmmm, Mommy, has there been an appointment to meet previously with Mr Raffa?" ask security before allowing Indhira into the cafe.
" Already, Sir. Because I'll work here." Indhira said that he would be an employee at the cafe owned by Raffasya.
" Want to work here? Hasn't she submitted her proposal yet?" Mr. Yanto, the security guard was not on duty when Indhira came with Azkia some time ago.
Almost all cafe officials know the character of Azkia. The woman will not let a beautiful woman be near the neighborhood where her husband works except for the cafe visitors. Therefore he felt astonished when Indhira who had a beautiful face with clean white skin said he would work in a cafe owned by Raffasya.
" Already, Sir. I was even ordered by Mother Kia to come here this morning." Indhira explained that he had been accepted to the cafe for work.
" Kia's own mother who received her Mother?' Mr. Yanto seemed to not believe his boss' wife was allowing beautiful women to work in the cafe.
" Right, Sir." Indhira tried to convince.
" Oh, yes, then please wait inside, Ma'am." Although it feels strange. However, Mr. Yanto still allowed Indhira to enter the cafe and wait inside.
" Thank you, sir." After getting permission from security, Indhira went into the cafe waiting for Azkia and Raffasya to arrive.
While on the streets of Jakarta, precisely in a sports car driven by Raffasya and carrying Azkia and their youngest child Zehan is sliding towards Raff Studio & Caffe.
" Are you sure, Ma? Will I accept Indhira to work at Papa's cafe?" Raffasya again asked for certainty from Azkia about his wife's request to hire Indhira at his cafe.
" Mama said, Pa. If Mama wanted to return the favor of Indhira who had saved Naufal from danger. Why do we have to talk about it again, anyway!?" Azkia seems to be aware if the husband wants to tease her because of her attitude that has always been jealous if there is a beautiful woman in the environment around her husband.
Raffasya chuckled at Azkia's reply.
" Yes, Papa was surprised, suddenly Mama gave Papa a beautiful female employee. My mom usually forbids. And what feels strange is not just Papa, Ma. Adam was equally surprised. Papa thinks Mama's jealousy is without exception.* Raffasya again chuckles to make Azkia roll her eyes.
" The plan is Papa wants to put Indhira in La Grande alone, Ma." Raffasya plans to hire Indhira at his other cafe.
" What's the matter, Pa?" asked Azkia with a frown.
" When in Raff cafe, afraid he became a baper and long fascinated to Papa, Ma." Raffasya joked that ended with laughter.
" Idiiihh .. pede very much, Pa! But Mama's sure Papa won't dare to mess around!" Azkia knew that her husband was not the type of man who was easily tempted by women.
" If Papa dares to mess around?" Raffasya deliberately mocked Azkia.
Azkia immediately glanced sharply at her husband who was driving a car.
" Just try if Papa dares to mess around! Mama take the kids home to Papi Mami! And you won't let Papa see them for life!!" Azkia immediately spread a threat so that her husband did not act much with other women.
" Geez, what a creepy threat Mama, Zehan. Papa is forbidden to meet Zehan, Brother Naufal and Brother Alma? Bad mama huh, Dek?" As if complaining to his youngest son, Raffasya said in a pitiful tone.
" But, Mama believes Indhira is a good woman, anyway, Pa. Feeling Mama said so. After all, Mr. Adam also said that Indhira is good. But, in anticipation of what Papa was worried about, Mama also agreed that Indhira was at La Grande." Although Azkia felt that Indhira was a good woman. But he also has to be vigilant. Because all possibilities can happen not because there is an intention but also because there is an opportunity.
About thirty minutes later, Raffasya's car arrived at his cafe. Carrying her youngest son, Azkia got out of the car. After Raffasya also got out of the car. Azkiah handed Zehan over to Raffasya. Raffasya then lowered Zehan and led his little son to walk into the cafe following Azkia who had stepped first to the cafe.
" Morning, Miss Kia." said Mr. Yanto.
" Morning ... Sir, has a new employee arrived yet?" Azkia asked about Indhira's whereabouts.
" Okay, Sir. Thanks." Thanks." Azkia then rushed into the cafe of her husband, while Raffasya was a bit slow to walk because while leading Zehan.
***
Indhira saw the appearance of Azkia from the door of the cafe. Soon he stood up and approached the beautiful woman who was the wife of his new boss.
" Good morning, Miss Kia." With a slight bow of her body, Indhira greeted Azkia.
" Morning, Indhira. Are your legs healed?" Azkia saw Indhira who was now able to walk normally.
" Thank God it has improved, ma'am." said Indhira.
" Thank God it's improving. You can go upstairs, right?" tanya Azkia wants to invite Indhira to talk in her husband's office to explain the work that Indhira will do.
" Can, Mom." said Indhira quickly.
" Oh yeah, we're talking in my husband's room!" Azkia immediately stepped towards the stairs.
Indhira followed behind Azkia. His heart was pounding as if facing a test. He also continued to pray to be given ease in dealing with his work later.
" Please ..." Arriving at Raffasya's workspace, Azkia invited Indhira to come in and sit on the sofa.
Indhira smelled the masculine scent of the therapeutic scent that wafted as she walked into Raffasya's room. He sat down on the black sofa in the room.
" Wait on my husband for a second, huh!?" Azkia waited for Raffasya who still did not reach the work room because he led Zehan who sometimes stopped walking because he was greeted by cafe employees who were happy to see the presence of the two-year-old boy.
" What do you want to drink?" Azkia steps towards the showcase to get a drink for Indhira.
" No need, Mom. This is enough," replied Indhira pointing to the mineral water cup neatly arranged in the container on the table.
" Want something cold?" Azkia offers cold mineral water from inside the showcase.
" No need, Mom. This is all right." Indhira refused Azkia's offer.
Shortly afterwards, Raffasya entered his room, not only with Zehan, but also with Fero. Raffasya's confidant who takes care of his La Grande Cafe.
" Morning, Boss ma'am." said Fero as he appeared in Raffasya's room.
" Yes, Mr Fero has arrived?" azkia asked surprised by Fero's sudden presence.
" Fero was there when I went to the cafe, Ma." Raffasya explained.
" Oh .." - Azkia.
" This is the man you're referring to, Raf?" fero asked as his eyes found a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.
" Yes, Fer. Sit down, you!" Raffasya told Fero to sit down before he explained to Fero.
Indhira glanced at the man called with the greeting of Fero who was watching him. He himself did not know who the man was and meant Fero to say as before.
" Indhira, meet this Fero. He's my guy who runs my cafe somewhere else. La Grande Caffe's. I'll put you in that cafe. La Grande is bigger than this cafe. There are also often hired to hold party events such as birthday events, engagements, wedding parties and others. Fero will be your boss there. And then Fero will explain what you're going to do in La Grande." Raffasya explained to Indhira, where the woman will be stationed later.
" Do you mind being put there, Indhira?" ask Raffasya later.
" I am up to you to be placed where, sir" said Indhira. Even though he's a little disappointed. Because he thought if there was someone he knew like Adam, he could be more calm working in his new place. However, he could not resist the decision from Raffasya. As he enters a new job, he must be prepared with all the work given to him.
" You'll be coming with Fero to La Grande. There Caffe operates from ten to twelve at night. There are two shifts. And for employees who are part of the night shift that is not picked up will be delivered from the cafe. So, you don't have to worry if you have to go home at night. Doesn't matter if I put you in the administration?" Raffasya asks for Indhira's willingness. Although later he planned to put Indhira in the administration, especially handling bookkeeping in accordance with Indhira's ability in the field of accounting.
" I don't have a problem, sir. I intend to find a job. I should be ready to be placed anywhere as long as I can do the job." Indhira made sure that he was able to do whatever job Raffasya had chosen for him.
" Yes if if you are willing, then come to La Grande with Fero alone." Back Raffasya tells if Indhira will go with Fero to La Grande.
" Mr. Fero, I'm taking Indhira. Don't mess with him, yeah!?" Azkia even dared to threaten Fero so that Indhira was safe from men who would take advantage of Indhira's beauty.
" Wooh, your wife's been threatening you, Raf. Is that why you put Indhira in my place?" Fero ended his speech with a big laugh. He thought that if Raffasya placed Indhira in La Grande, so that Raffasya would be safe from Azkia's suspicion and jealousy.
" Indhira was taken directly from my wife, Fer! Eat it he said don't make a mess." Same with Fero, Raffasya also laughed.
" It's worth it, I was also initially surprised, how could he be accepted to work by you. Haha ...."
Indhira frowned trying to understand the conversation that occurred between Raffasya and Fero. She also related to the words spoken by Adam about Azkia that did not allow her husband to have an above-average looking clerk all this time.
While waiting for La Grande to open, Fero talked about the cafe with Raffasya. While Indhira himself had to serve Azkia who continued to invite him to talk in a different room.
" Oh yeah, I saw your package C. Why didn't you go to high school?" Azkia asked about the package C certificate owned by Indhira. Because the cover letter that originally wanted to be submitted to the last company was requested by Azkia for the archive.
Indhira was silent for a while when Azkia asked about the package C certificate she had. Even though he already knew that it would later be questioned. However, he still felt a thump when he had to answer her.
" I dropped out of school because my Papa died, and there's no cost to continue school, Mom." To be honest Indhira felt guilty for lying to Azkia. But, he had no other choice. There was no way he would tell Azkia the truth. There he will miss the opportunity to work at Raffasya's cafe.
" It just so happened that my best friend, his fiance Mas Adam, helped me and hired me at his Tantenya salon in Semarang. After working and raising new money I went to C package school and went to college to take a diploma program, Mom. I happened to live in Semarang with my friend's Auntie's house so I could set aside money to continue my diploma." Not wanting to be asked a lot about the reason he dropped out of high school, Indhira told how he could continue until college diploma.
" Why did you quit your old job?" ask Azkia back.
" Because my friend's aunt sold her salon to someone else. And my friend's aunt had a stroke and was taken to Jakarta to her brother's house. Because I also feel indebted to my friend's aunt, so I moved to Jakarta. Besides being able to find a job here, I can also help take care of him." Indhira recounted the reason he gave up his old job and sought his fortune working in a new place.
Azkia heard Indhira's explanation which was exactly the same as the one she heard from Adam, It seems that the woman is increasingly convinced that Indhira is a good woman and will not do anything especially tempting her husband.
