When I Give Up
Chapter 3 There is Sadness
or you work in my house as my maid, she said in a firm voice
honestly I only have 2 choices between changing 50 million dollars or being a maid in her house
I'm confused which one should I choose, I don't have that much money as a fan if I'm a maid how my job and my college?
in my daydream his voice revived me from my daydream, "so what's your choice?" he said looking at me
I ventured to look at that fierce and haughty face, "how long have I been a maid in your house? trs what are my working hours? because I have to go to college and work in this cafe for my tuition fees" I said bluntly
he looked at me and said "depending on whether or not you finish your job fast, but I ask that as long as you're my maid, you should stay at my house because in addition to cleaning my house you should also prepare me breakfast and dinner and to eat I eat at the office
"you have to live and work in my house for 1 year, I'm good not my suit and clothes for 50 million only you pay as my maid and even that for 1 year, how?" he said again to me
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and said alright then, I have no choice but to be the maid I have to choose
"when do I start working?" I said again and he replied tomorrow you can come to my house and later I wrote the address, at 7 am must have arrived if you are not ready to accept your punishment
after that he wrote his address on the paper and handed it to me and he left the cafe.
I cried after his departure, oh...god why is my life like this? what reason would I tell my mother?
I stared at my cafe manager softly, "sir please let me keep working here I will try to divide the good time between working in the cafe, in the house of the arrogant man and going to college" he sighed deeply in 2 while looking at me, "good as you are a diligent and good worker then I let you keep working but remember you must really be able to share your time"
thank you sir, I promise to share the time as best as possible and will not disappoint you
"yes, he's back to work as usual"
and he left me in his office.
I went back to work as usual, my friends who pity and support me sometimes I was moved when I was down like this they still gave me spirit
I want to scream and cry as loud as her date imagining I have to lie and leave my mother alone is not strong.
working hours at my cafe were done I immediately settled down and went home on the way I kept thinking what reason I should make sense and my mother believed until finally not I felt the motorcycle I was riding had arrived in front of my house.
I went down and paid the fare of the motorcycle while stepping in my heart kept pounding.
assalammualaikum buk said while knocking on my door soon after my door opened and appeared to my mother while saying "greetings boy, you're home, come in. I've prepared tea for you" my mother's habit is to always make tea for me while I go home to work because my throat is warm to the wind at night, I will go home to ride a motorcycle taxi distance between the cafe and my house about 30 minutes.
yes buk thanks I change clothes first well all I want to say buk, "yes I want to wait in the living room" he said again to me
I went straight into the room and cleaned2 and changed clothes as soon as possible because my mother was waiting for me, 10 minutes I came out of the room and sat in the living room while drinking tea made by my mother.
" what do you want to talk about, son?" tumben you want to talk seriously like mom?" while trembling and nervous I said, "yeah buk sarah transferred to the new branch cafe buk, sarah believed to teach the new child the new cafe waitress who just worked, and, so sarah who was assigned to move to a new cafe but during the task sarah sarah had to stay in the mess prepared by the cafe, the cafe, sarah promises if there is free time sarah will go home to visit mother, just one year kok buk" I said as calmly as I could but in my heart it was pounding and nervous as hell but I tried as hard as I could for my mother to believe.
I saw my mom shut up for a while and she took a deep breath and talked" well son, if that's the best thing you have to be able to take care of yourself and take care of your health, what about your college?
I replied Sarah continued buk college, sarah insya Allah can divide the time as best as possible, I reassured again and I said again starting tomorrow morning sarah has started to move the book I said sadly
my mother smiled warmly at me "let me help you finish your stuff" I was moved and immediately hugged my mother to say thank you and thank you for my mother's understanding it felt like I felt sinful to have cheated on my mother but I had to, I had to, I don't want to add to his burden of pleasure if I'm honest with him
we got up and went into my room, my mother helped me pack my clothes, not much I brought only 1 suitcase and tonight I asked my mother to sleep in my room.
my mother had already fallen asleep beside me while I could not close my eyes, I kept thinking about how I would be in the house of that arrogant man? will my life be okay? seeing that fierce, fierce and arrogant look was like a pain in my opinion.
I let out a long sigh and closed my eyes, let everything be put to my god because my life has not God arranged it and maybe this is the path of my destiny.
