1000 Season of Dream Chasing
part 11's
Papa looked at his son while smiling cynically. "If you go to college there, papa won't support you. Papa won't help you financially. Do you understand?"
Niko nodded. "I understand. I won't ask Papa for financial support while I'm in college."
Papa was shocked to hear his son's words. "If you want to go, go. Papa won't hold you back. Let's see how long you'll last there."
Niko took a deep breath. "Thank you, pa."
A week later Niko leaves her home to New York to pursue her dreams.
Laura didn't know how much longer she could last. His feet were half dead. His hand carried a tray of used dinner plates that were of merciful weight. Soon his hands would catch up feeling what his feet were feeling. He's really exhausted.
Time shows at twelve o'clock. Laura rested her legs for a while in the kitchen chair. He saw that the other servants were busy cleaning tables and chairs. Seeing her comrades working hard, Laura stood back up and joined them.
As beautiful as she is to a new city, Laura's life doesn't go the way she wants. He never thought about how expensive the tuition fees that mom had to spend to finance it. Mama convinces Laura that she can go to college without having to think about financial matters. But Laura knew she couldn't do it. So he decided to find a job.
"But, what about your college?" ask mom disappointed.
Laura. "Until now I don't know what school to go to. Better to have the lecture postponed first, ma."
For the first time Laura and Mama did not agree.
"I know you want to help mom, but your job now is college" she protested.
Laura finally found a middle ground. "How about this. I'll be working for a year. During that time I will also save up to finance my college later."
"Are you sure that's what you want?" mama asked still
Laura nodded. "I want to pay for my own college. I'm an adult now, Ma. I think I have a right to decide for myself what I want to do."
But those two reasons, especially the second, made him rethink whether he had made the right choice. Especially when his back seemed to be broken, his legs tingled, and his hands were very sore. The first month of working at the restaurant, he could see that his boss was someone who quickly rose in blood. Every three months, there is always a new assistant chef, in the arena Antonio_____ his name is named restaurant_____ always have a reason to fire them. As a chef, Antonio is a genius who can make delicious Italian food. Laura admired that aspect, but not her temperament.
"You're fired!" his boss shouted suddenly from the restaurant kitchen.
Laura sighed back while wiping the table. His boss fired his assistant again. This time it wasn't even three months.
"He did it again, " complained maya, a senior waiter who has worked for almost five years, just as their restaurant age.
A middle-aged man came out of the kitchen in annoyance. He walked through the dining room, opened the exit, and waltzed away without a word. Laura felt a little sorry for the assistant. A former assistant, that is.
Shortly after, the kitchen door opened. An Italian, white-bearded, fifty-year-old man shouted. "Maya, find me a new assistant! I don't want an idiot like that. Understood?"
Maya could only swallow and nod. "OK, Antonio," he said in reply.
After Antonio came out of the restaurant, the servants breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know where else to look for an assistant chef" Maya complained near Laura.
Laura approached Maya. "Don't give up, ma'am. You must have found it."
Maya looked at Laura's face which excited her. Although Laura's a new employee. Maya had loved it since the beginning because Laura was a hardworking type who never gave up. "Congratulations, Laura. I hope so."
At half-time one night, the Antonio restaurant was closed.Laura paused in front of the restaurant. There's a whiteboard there.
