In the afternoon, there was a noise from one of the visitor's tables. Evi who heard it immediately rushed to see what was really going on. He was shocked when a man was about to raise his right hand to slap the restaurant official.
"Stop!" evi shouted making all eyes on him. He walked up to the table in graceful steps and kept a faint smile at the other visitors.
"Sorry, what's going on?" ask after being at the table.
The man looked at Evi sharply and angrily. "Who are you?"
"I'm the manager here. Do you have a problem? Why scold my employees like that?"
"Hey! Tell your careless employees to be more careful at work. Looky!" the man pointed at his shirt. "My clothes are dirty because of it. If you can't work, you better fire him!" he continued, pointing at the female employee who was scared at the time, her eyes had turned red and she seemed to be holding back the cry.
Evi glanced at his employees, he stroked the employee's shoulders. "Have you apologized to her?"
The employee named Ella nodded. "Even I have said if you want compensation, Mom. But he was still angry at me,"
Evi sighed. "Sir, my employee has apologized. He is also very good at being responsible. Please don't wear it like that. Moreover, there are many people here. Don't you think about her feelings?"
The man got upset, he screeched and then left there without saying a word. After the man came out, Evi looked at Ella.
"Aren't you pa-pa, Ella?"
Ella shakes. "I'm used to getting that kind of treatment, ma'am. Sorry if I'm always careless at work.''
Yeah, honestly, Ella's not that kind of person. He was always painstaking, diligent, and careful at work. However, due to personal problems, he is not concerned in doing work lately.
"Mom, I'm sorry." said Ella sadly.
Evi nodded, but just a few steps Ella walked, Evi stopped the girl's steps.
"Ella, wait!"
Ella stopped, she turned her head and looked at Evi who was walking towards her.
"Can I ask you something?"
Ella nodded.
"You got a problem?"
The two beads of their eyes clashed against each other, Evi could see clearly if Ella must be in trouble. Sure enough, the poor girl nodded, she bowed lethargic and almost cried.
"El, you should be a professional. You know, you'll run if you bring personal problems to work. It is not that I do not appreciate or not understand, but if you mix up personal and work problems, then the results will be like that. You're not focused." Evi tried to speak softly to advise Ella.
"Once again, forgive me, ma'am."
"Okay, I hope nothing like that ever happens again. My advice, if you have a problem, you should ask for a leave of absence a few days first. Yeah, to calm the mind and solve the problem."
"I'll think about it later, Mom."
"Yes, you can go back to work." Evi again stroked Ella's shoulders, and the girl passed from Evi's presence politely.
After Ella left, Evi let out a heavy breath. On his first day of work, there was already commotion and trouble. He prayed, hopefully he can solve the problem at the restaurant well. The woman stepped away to return to her room, she spread a thin smile to all restaurant visitors who had seen the commotion earlier.

"Why this car? The feeling a few days ago just served." Evi tries to start his car but nil, the car still does not want to turn on.
"Geez!" Evi leaned back on the chair and he hit the steering wheel. "Ck, is-is there anyway? I'm fucking, car! Tired, tired, why strike?" the beautiful woman muttered to herself, she was silent for a moment. In the end, an idea flashed through his mind.
Evi gets off the car, he calls the repair shop and says the car broke down, it needs to be towed. Not to forget, the woman also contacted her parents so as not to make the mother worried. Finished all, he rushed back into the restaurant. Looks like tonight she's gonna sleep at the restaurant, till dawn.
"You take a taxi online, I'm scared. It's late at night, what if the driver does something unwanted?" Evi shuddered. "The workshop is also closed, can tow the car must wait for dawn. Oh my!" he murmured while continuing to walk.
Fortunately Evi was holding the spare key, as he was about to unlock the restaurant, a car stopped in front of his car. It made Evi worried, he continued to look at the car and pray that it was not a bad person.
A pair of legs were visible and soon, the owner was also seen. Evi heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that the one who came turned out to be his boss. The woman ran small towards the car, she smiled faintly while in front of Aji.
"Evi, you haven't come home yet?" ask Aji wonder.
"Actually I'm going home, sir. But, my car broke down." Evi said embarrassed.
"Can't you?" Aji glanced at Evi's car.
"Don't know, suddenly the engine's down. I've contacted the workshop, and tomorrow morning they just came to tow my car."
"Then why are you still here?"
"Sorry, Sir. I was planning to sleep at a restaurant."
Aji shook her head. "All right, I'll take you home."
"Eh, no need, sir!" prevent Evi from feeling bad.
"Already, Evi. You come with me, I will not do evil. If you want to sleep at a restaurant, what if something happens to you?" Aji was worried and it made Evi pensive.
"Evi, what's wrong? You still don't want me to take you home?"
"Em, okay. Earlier, thank you for your help, sir."
"Yes, let's go in."
They both got into the car and Evi smiled.
