The Woman the Lord Pays
Fired

One problem is over, Eliana thinks there are no other problems and can live her day as usual again but the rules that exist begin to make her life in trouble. Today, all of his co-workers are avoiding him. No one else greeted the female companion though. They all started to walk away from him not even answering when Eliana asked. Eliana starts to get depressed, she's like a stranger among colleagues she already knows well.

Eliana could only sigh, indeed she was the one who was wrongly overcrowded early so she had to accept the consequences. Now he really doesn't have any friends anymore. He was alone at work nobody even cared about him.

The situation must have been known by the manager who received many complaints from workers who began to hate Eliana. The slanted words have been given to Eliana so Eliana was called by the manager after lunch because the workers began to feel disturbed by her existence.

Eliana did not understand at all, she was already inside her manager's room. Worry filled the heart, for some reason he felt something was wrong. That's why he was in that room. Hopefully it's not that big of a deal that's caused him to be fired because he needs the job so badly.

"Why did you call me, sir?" eliana asked after the manager went inside.

"You should know, Eliana," the manager pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him. Her eyes were looking at Eliana sharply, Eliana was getting a bad feeling.

"Have I made a mistake, sir?" ask Eliana again.

"Do you really not know Eliana, you know you're pretending not to know?! You become gossiped by the workers, they say you are not friendly and can not be invited to work together again," said the manager.

"I'm not like that, sir. I didn't mean to stay away from them and I could still be invited to work together," Eliana tried to defend herself because she did not do so at her will.

"But they all complain about you and they say you're too arrogant and can't work together anymore. What do you think I should do, Eliana?"

"I'm not like that sir, really. I'll fix everything so don't fire me" Eliana pleaded.

"I have to make that decision, Eliana. I have to fire you instead of me losing all the workers so this restaurant is closed because there are no workers at all!"

"Please don't fire me, sir. I'll go out and talk to them. I promise I will not ignore them again, I will work properly and I will cooperate with them. I beg you to give me a chance to fix everything, sir," asked Eliana.

"Sorry, Eliana. I want all the workers in this restaurant to be compact. Even if you go out and talk to them, they won't want to get close to you anymore, Eliana. If you don't believe it, you can try it. They won't think of you as much as you used to."

Eliana could only look down while holding her tears. Finally, he was considered arrogant and hated by his co-workers. No wonder they hated him and considered themselves arrogant nor could they be invited to cooperate again, all because he had to follow the rules so that he did not break anymore.

"This is your salary and bonus, you can go home and you don't have to come back tomorrow."

Hearing what the manager said, the tears that Eliana could bear fell. Eliana lifted her face and looked at the manager with a teary look, was there no lightening at all for her?

"I beg you, sir. Give me some light, "he asked.

Eliana wiped away her tears, seeming to be unwilling that she should accept the decision since she could not be selfish. He had to think about the position of his manager especially those who did not like him were not just one person. Envelope money taken, Eliana can only resignedly accept his dismissal.

"I'm sorry, sir. Thank you for hiring me here," Eliana tried to smile, but she was holding her heart back. The only livelihood he had now ceased to exist. Though it is not easy to find a job especially with his mediocre education.

Eliana came out of the manager's room, she immediately became the center of attention of her colleagues and became the subject of gossip of colleagues who did not like her. Eliana lowered her head and stepped away, her fate had been really bad lately but she could only be patient and accept it airily.

The things he had were cleared, he would find work before his time to go to that house to carry out his duties. What's been going on lately is making his head hurt. One problem goes, one more problem comes. It feels like the problems in his life go back and forth changing and non-stop.

The manager was forced to fire him because other workers threatened to strike if Eliana was not fired. Everyone looked happy because the arrogant and arrogant Eliana was no longer working together with them. Eliana the Poor, because the covenant made her arrogant and proud by them.

Eliana goes looking for a job at a cafe or fastfood restaurant but she doesn't find it. Eliana began to despair, she had guessed it would not be easy. Where should he go now? He couldn't have come to that house so soon because it wasn't time yet.

Instead of her being outside and wasting her time, she would rather go to the hospital with her mother. He must make the best use of his time before their time together is no longer there. Eliana bought food for her mother. Although he had to save money on salary and bonuses that he got before getting a new job but he wanted to buy food for his mother.

His mother was very surprised to find Eliana so quickly back, not usually Eliana so quickly back like that. Eliana smiled, trying to hide what she was feeling. Anxiety and sadness, he hid tightly. Suddenly he became an expert at doing that.

"Why are you back, Eliana?" ask her mother suspiciously.

"I'm just gonna take a moment, Mom. After dropping off this food and feeding Mommy I'll be gone again" she said.

"Does it matter if you leave during work hours?" ask mother.

"I've asked permission, so Mommy doesn't have to worry."

"Alright, Mommy's just afraid something's going on with your job."

"Mommy doesn't have to worry about that, I'll just let you in for a second. Now enjoy the food I bought, Mommy would love to," Eliana sat down by her mother's side and took out the food she was carrying.

"Thank you, honey. You really make Mommy happy" her mother smiled, Eliana smiled. He did not want to say his dismissal because he did not want to make his mother sad so that his health declined.

Eliana feeds her mother a meal, at least the sadness and anxiety paid off after seeing her mother smile. For him his mother was an encouragement to him to live the day and to encourage him to fight so that he did not give up and every time he was desperate, he will remember if he should not give up and should be eager for his mother's happiness.
