Two weeks later, Aji as usual went to the restaurant. This time he was alone because the wife was not allowed to work. The man just wanted his wife to sit quietly at home, wait for him to come home, welcome him, and prepare all his needs. Evi did not bother about it either because she wanted to be an obedient wife to her husband. Make the husband happy? Of course it is a right for a wife, and Evi will do it all for Aji.
Aji was in his room, he was still busy looking at the income and expenditure documents at the restaurant. Yes, since he wanted to have a reception and honeymoon, he gave all obligations to a chef named Amira.
As the man read the document seriously, suddenly the door of the room was knocked from outside.
"Lake in!" yelled Aji without taking her eyes off.
"Excuse me, Sir. Someone wants to meet with you," said one of the employees, until now Aji has not sought a manager as a replacement for Evi.
"Who?" tanyanya was curious and glanced at the waiters.
"I don't know, sir. Just this time I saw that Miss.She was still outside, seemed to really want to meet you."
Aji who was feeling very curious went straight out of her room to meet the woman. Arriving outside, he was shocked when he saw Elena who was already sitting on the chair.
"El, are you here?" ask Aji politely and kindly.
Elena suddenly stood up from her seat, she smiled sweetly and looked at Aji gently.
"How do you know if this is my restaurant? Dan, is there something?"
"I know this address from google, it turns out you are now a famous culinary entrepreneur huh, Mas?"
"Alhamdulillah." replied Aji smiling faintly. "What do you want to eat? Just tell the waiters and they'll make it for you soon." the guy tried to be polite to his school-age friend and his neighbor first.
"As far as you are,"
Aji asked the waiter to bring the best seller food at the restaurant.
"Oh yeah, by the way what did you come here for?"
"I just want to visit, I miss you so much, Mom. Time in Bali, we have not been satisfied to give up longing for the past twelve years."
"What are you talking about, Elena? I already have a wife, don't be like this. We have to keep our distance, I don't want my wife to be suspicious and think ill of both of us."
"All right, I'm sorry.'' Elena decided to give up, but only this time. He will take Aji from Evi. Yes, the woman has designed everything and just waits for time.
The food came too.
"You enjoy this food first, I've got a lot of work to do." Aji wanted to get out of the chair but was prevented by Elena's voice.
"Mas, you don't want to accompany me to eat? You do the hell, Mas? I'm all the way out of town to this place just wanting to meet you, and this is how you're going to me?" luh Elena was sad.
"El, it's not like that. I mean, you just eat first, I have to finish my job."
"So much of your work, Mom? Aren't you the owner of this restaurant?"
"Yes, there is no manager here and I have to handle everything alone. Sorry, El. I'm back in my room, I hope you like the food." Aji hurried away from Elena.
While the woman, she looks furious and clucked resentfully at Aji's attitude towards her. The man is still like he used to be, not wanting to stay close to him for long. Elena becomes very challenged to return to melt Aji's heart. He'll try it one more time.
"We'll see later, Mas." muttered Elena while sticking a fork in the plate until it sounded a small twang.
The waiters tell Elena, she shows Aji the boss' room. After that, El thanked him and he went towards Aji's room.
Tok tok!
"Lake in!" yelled Aji without asking who first.
Elena went inside, she walked towards Aji very gracefully.
"Sorry to bother you, Mommy."
Sontak Aji immediately looked up and was surprised because Elena entered the room.
"El, you—?"
Elena nodded.
"I'm done eating and thank you for being given free." Elena chuckled softly, but inside her laughter it was like she was hiding some sadness. That's what Aji saw.
"El, do you have a problem?" Aji closed the documents in front of him.
"Mas, I actually need a job. But I'm ashamed to tell you.'' Elena.
Aji fell silent, thinking whether to help Elena or not.
"Mas, can I work at this restaurant? Whatever it is, the important thing is I have income." Elena cuckold.
Aji felt even more sorry for her friend, she was silent for a moment.
"Do you want to be a manager here?"
"really?" Elena immediately sparkled, one step had Aji managed to get into her plan.
The man nodded, he didn't think Elena's bad intentions were coming into his life at all.
"I, I want to, Mas. Thank you very much, of course I will not refuse. Let alone being a manager, I definitely won't let you down, Mas." Elena clasped Aji's hand which was located on the table, but the man quickly withdrew his hand.
"From tomorrow you can go to work."
Elena nodded obediently.
"El, what's the matter with you? Why are you looking for a job here?"
Elena heaved a heavy sigh, she started telling Aji about the problem. Of course, the story is just a piece of writing and lies that have been designed neatly by Elena, so that Aji pity him.
