Affair With First Love

Chapter 4 - Meet Again

...༻◐༺...

Zara waited for Gamal while biting her lower lip. He did not know why he was suddenly agitated. Gamal was busy urinating.

Zara's mind ran everywhere. Everything tends to lead to the past. The time he and Gamal were still dating. Everything was so beautiful at the time. The world belongs to both. Gamal was even willing to buy Zara a luxury apartment. The man is known not to be stingy. Which woman does not like that man?

Chequek!

The sound of the door opening made Zara reflex turn around. He turned his body towards the toilet.

Gamal melingus passed through Zara. Without looking, especially just to talk. I don't know why Zara was disappointed by that. He certainly wanted Gamal to greet him kindly. But what did Zara expect? Maybe now he doesn't mean anything to Gamal.

Zara stepped up with her head bowed. He immediately continued the work. While Gamal who had been acting indifferent, immediately leaned his back to the chair.

'Shit! He's not gonna clean the toilets here every day, is he?' inner Gamal who felt tormented by the presence of Zara.

After a few minutes, Zara looks fresh out of the toilet. He pulled his trolly basket carefully. Pass away after bowing respectfully.

Zara grunted in relief. He continued cleaning elsewhere. Next, Zara rested with her co-workers.

"Sister Zara! The vacancy you are looking for is available. The manager of the Angkasa Jaya hotel restaurant again needs an additional waiter," exclaimed Susan who successfully made Zara interested.

"What's really, San?" Zara.

"Yes, really. Brother can come with me when I get home. We go there together!"

"Eh but I have to get Zafran to school first. I will follow myself later. I know where it is anyway," said Zara. Susan then replied with a nod of her head.

After lunch, Zara went to the market first. Buy everything you need to cook at home. He certainly did not forget to pick up Zafran to school.

"Mother, buy me a car!" pinta Zafran's. He pointed towards the toy store. Right into a toy car that can be used with a remote.

"Those cars?" Zara glanced at Zafran. The look on his face immediately turned pale. How not? The money Zara brought in was likely not going to be enough.

"Yes! Yes, Mother! Beliin! Beliin! Beliin!" urge Zafran while shaking his own body. He started whining.

"Let Mommy ask the price first yes," said Zara. Then he entered the toy store. There he found the price of the cars Zafran wanted very expensive. Money is far from enough.

Slowly Zara takes Zafran out of the toy store. Then crouch down in front of the son. Zara tried to persuade Zafran with something else.

"We bought ice cream, right? Mommy has seen the latest ice cream walls. The color is like a rainbow that loh," Zara bargained with a big smile. One hand pointed at the nearest grocery store.

Instead of smiling, Zafran's face grew sullen. "No want! I want those cars!" he ran back to the toy store. But Zara caught him.

"Later on, Zafran..." Zara tried to tell her son carefully. The commotion had attracted the attention of many people around.

Zafran finally cried. Clear liquid immediately broke on his cheek. Her mother's rejection made her very disappointed.

"Zara's? Zafran why?" a middle-aged woman suddenly came. He is none other than the caretaker of the orphanage where Zara used to live. Wida. It's been considered like Zara's own parents.

"He asked for something strange, Bi.." replied Zara who still held Zafran firmly.

"What a weird thing?" Wida looked in disbelief. He knows Zara well. One of the children he knew lied.

Wida finally chose to ask directly to Zafran, "You're what, Zafran?"

Zafran slowly stopped crying and said, "I want those cars, Grandma!"

"Which one? Here you show me Grandma. Let Grandma buy it." Wida leads Zafran back into the toy store.

"Auntie knows you're lying!" tukas Wida who insisted on buying toys for Zafran. Zara chose to give up. Let Wida do as she pleases.

After getting what he wanted, a carefree smile emanated on Zafran's face. He hugged the cars while jumping for joy.

"What does Grandma say?" ask Zara.

"Thank you, Grandma.." Like an obedient child, Zafran immediately did the mother's command.

"Either. Keep the toys well, yeah." Wida gently rubbed the top of Zafran's head.

"Thank you, Bi.." said Zara sincerely.

"What I'm doing here is nothing compared to the services you've given to the orphanage" Wida responded as she gently stroked Zara's shoulders.

Wida remembers very much. Exactly seven years ago, Zara helped the crisis that occurred in the orphanage. The place was not closed because Zara paid all the compensation.

Coincidentally, the original orphanage owner will make a sale. That guy had a really bad bankruptcy. Not willing to take responsibility with all the orphans living in orphanages.

Simultaneously, Zara had just obtained transfer money from Afrijal. He spent all that money to save the orphanage. But, baby, the money is not enough. Until Zara is pressed to borrow money from loan sharks. The other man is Anton. The man who had now become Zara's husband.

Now Zara is walking along the sidewalk with Wida and Zafran. The phone from inside his bag suddenly shook. A message from Susan was received.

...'Brother Zara, come here quickly. People first. Many of my friends are looking for work here!'...

That was the message from Susan. Zara wants to leave quickly.

"Bi, can I get a special Zafran nitip today?" pinta Zara's.

"Byeah, I'm glad he could come." Wida replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Bi. Let me buy you lunch first, I-"

"No need. Let Zafran eat my cooking at the parlor. He would have loved to see so many friends there" Wida said. He and Zafran moved while waving their hands.

Zara rushed off to Angkasa Jaya restaurant. He was accepted to work, after being asked a few questions from the manager.

With only a diploma, mental strength, beautiful face, and physical endurance, Zara was immediately accepted as a restaurant waitress. Even so, he was not a regular servant. Zara will only be called if the restaurant really needs extra energy.

"Every weekend there are usually many visitors. Incidentally, today there are three servants on leave." whispered Susan. She and Zara had just finished wearing the maid uniform. "So, why do you just get a backup position doang?" Susan felt guilty.

"Nothing. What matters is that the money is good. I'm even glad my work schedule is not solid," Zara responded casually.

"If Brother's performance is good, it will definitely rise in office. I used to be like that too, now I'm the main servant. Hehehe." said Susan. But Zara responded with a pinch on the cheek. He was anxious to see Susan's childish behavior.

The afternoon changed night. Time is 06:30. Zara still serves all restaurant visitors.

The manager suddenly called Zara. Ask him to serve a new VIP visitor. Zara automatic just according. He is the only one who is not too busy.

With a friendly smile, Zara stepped before the VIP guests. The face of the figure was covered with a menu book. Obviously he was busy sorting out the food on the menu.

"We have chicken light as a special dish from chef Norman. Today's theme.." Zara's speech interjected as the figure before her lowered the menu book.

Zara's tongue feels faint. The heart that is beating again attacks. Who else could have had such an effect other than Gamal? The flap-haired man immediately looked towards Zara. The look that certainly managed to make Zara more confused.

'Handsome, Gamal is very handsome.' Instead of promoting the main course, Zara is fascinated by the charm of her former.
