Don't Take My Zeline!

Get a Job

Stella is silent, she does not know for sure but there is no way Aska does not know her family plan.

Zidan also understood this incident, he was sure if there was a misunderstanding between them.

"If you don't see or hear him directly about Aska, how can you conclude and decide unilaterally, Stella? Stella I've known you since we were college, you're such a smart and wise kid. I hope you didn't make a mistake." Stella fell silent, thinking of Zidan's words. However, he recalled the incident earlier when Aska held another woman. Her heart feels tight

"Right or wrong, but surely Aska is already with another woman. If she's right and I'm wrong, surely she won't be holding another woman that fast." said Stella who felt sad considering Aska holding a beautiful woman who like her one culture with Aska.

"I just wish you all the best, you're my old friend."

"Thank you, Zidan."

"Oh yeah, do you need a job? Incidentally, at my cafe I need a supervisor here. Are you ready?" said Zidan

"Supervisor? B-but, I'm inexperienced."

"No problem, Stella. I know you're a very independent and smart woman. I'm sure you can handle all this." Zidan told Stella. Stella was excited, after all these years. Finally, someone believed and restored his spirit again."

"You can start working when you're ready, Stella. I will wait for you, because every day I come here even if only intermittently. This is my third branch."

"Well, you're amazing, Zidan. At such a young age, you're the owner of a cafe in three branches at once, I'm proud of you."

"Don't praise me like this, or my ears will rise later."

Haha

Stella and Zidan laughed and chatted together, Stella forgot all the fatigue she had in mind, she became herself for the first time in six years. As if there were no burdens at all.

"Ohiya, are you married?"

"I was married once but our marriage didn't last long, he left me for a richer man." Stella was silent, she did not feel good for bringing back the bitterness in Zidan's life. Stella apologizes to him, but Zidan does not feel the slightest pain.

"Sure your son is grown, he must be so cute as his mother."

"Yes, Zeline is getting bigger. I'm looking for a job for Zeline to attend Kindergarten here. Moreover, I have to support my sisters."

"I understand what you're going through, Stella, just calm down! Salary problem, no need to worry."

"Eh, No Zidan! I didn't mean to discuss salary with you, I just told you that Zeline was going to school."

"Zeline's name? Such a beautiful name, she she's so very beautiful like you." Stella was silent, Zidan looked at Stella's eyes, so clearly visible in Stella's eyes if she was not okay. Zidan imagines how difficult Stella was during the last six years of living and raising a child alone. Moreover, when he knew that his parents were dead. Zidan was very sympathetic with Stella.

They finish the food that Zidan ordered, he also introduces Stella to his employees if Stella will be their boss. The employees welcomed Stella very well.

"This mother Stella will be monitoring your work, I hope you can appreciate and help her."

"Mother Stella will also take care of all finances, incoming and outgoing expenses, salary problems or existing losses. If you need any fees, you can go see Stella's mom." Stella was shocked to hear Zidan. Zidan gave his trust this big, he turned his head towards Zidan giving an explanation. Zidan just nodded, as if giving a code if all would be fine. After the employees return to their jobs, Stella questions Zidan's decision.

"Zidan, what the hell is this? Why?"

"That's it, Stella! I trust you so much, I'm not always at the cafe anyway. I'm afraid, if employees need money I don't exist. You better take on this responsibility, I trust you so much. You want to, right?" Stella who was not happy to refuse the request of her old friend was nodding to approve her. Zidan smiled happily.

"Thank you for helping me out, so I don't have to bother taking care of the finances for three cafes at once."

"When can I work?"

"Maybe, it's better tomorrow. Poor son at home too, now you can get ready to prepare everything tomorrow."

"Thank you, Zidan. You've helped me a lot"

"There's no need to say that, we're both mutually beneficial in this regard. I'll relax if anyone takes my cafe and you won't bother thinking about the cost to your kids and sisters." Stella smiled at Zidan, her friend that has never changed since. Despite being a successful person, Zidan remained generous and kind.

Stella promised herself that she would do her best, and would never let down her boss friend. Stella says goodbye to Zidan to return home. Zidan wants to take Stella but Stella refuses gently

"No need! It'll be a lot of trouble for you."

"No, no one will feel bothered, after all I really want to meet your son, he is also my nephew" Zidan said, Zidan shook his head and smiled at Zidan. Finally, Stella was escorted by her friend.

Arriving at home, Zeline already greeted her mama at the door, Zeline ran towards Stella, Stella caught up and held her child

"Your mom's home? Zeline misses mom, Zeline doesn't want long Mom jugs."

"Darling, my mom went looking for a job. This mama did for Zeline." said Stella who gave an explanation to her son, Zeline turned to look at Zidan. He frowned, Zidan is so very foreign to him.

"Who is this mom?"

"This is called om Zidan, his friend and boss mama. Tomorrow, mama's gonna work at this cafe om, honey."

"Know mama? Thank you very well,"

"Together a beautiful child." Zidan smiled kindly at Zeline. True to her guess, Zeline is so very beautiful like Stella.

"Let's go in!" take Stella to Zidan, Zidan refused gently.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry I can't now. What if next time? Really, I have to go to my other cafe. Today, there'll be stuff coming in."

"Well, be careful? Again I thank you,"

"Together." Zidan leaves Stella's parents' house
