Father's Choice of Sort

Udik Girl

On a cold morning, Sandra pulled back her blanket and was about to go back to sleep when she saw the wall clock in her room still showing at four in the morning, there is still little time to sleep before cooking and going to work, the girl thought. Yes, it has been almost one week Sandra worked in a restaurant as a waiters thanks to the help of her brother Nurul who also worked there,but now Nurul's sister is married and join her husband moved out of town so she had to stop working, because Nurul continued college, Nurul proposed Sandra in order to replace her brother, so she could replace him, Nurul knew very well if his best friend really needed a job.Kakannya agreed that, because it is also impossible for Nurul to work part time when the beginning of college, surely he was busy with his lectures.

Actually Sandra was envious of Nurul but the removal of bad feelings, she knew enough and was very grateful to her best friend. Uncle Joni and Aunt Nani are not rich people but they live well, although Bibi Nani only works as a Kindergarten teacher with a small income, Uncle Joni is an influential high school teacher in the area and has a side business that is renting a rented house even though only a few. So do not be surprised if they want Nurul to be a teacher as well and as much as possible to help his son to realize his ideals,especially when Dean Nurul's older brother who prefers to work after graduating high school and now has married a man of his choice. Nurul also knew that and he did not want to make his father and mother disappointed again, so he tried to be the way his parents wanted him to be, because he also really wanted to become a teacher and teach as he imagined since childhood.

Returning to Sandra, her eyes closed tightly but she could no longer sleep, her sleepiness gone from the cold air. He tried to find the most comfortable position to sleep, right tilted, left tilted, curled up, but free of charge he was no longer sleepy.

Opening his eyes wide, he stared at the ceiling of his room.. If only he had been born to parents who were, of course, he would have been one of the art students at this time, had many new friends and held a degree as a student. Sandra kept daydreaming and fantasizing, the shadow of being a student managed to make her forget the cold that morning.

"San, Sandra, wake up son" Her mother's voice stopped her daydreaming.

"Yes ma'am, Sandra's awake" Sandra replied.

Sandra got out of bed and stepped out to meet her mother, seeing her mother was difficult to prepare outside the house busy with a bag of vegetables that she would sell again. Sandra helped and took her mother's big bags and arranged them on her mother's vegetable cart.The air outside was very cold, her body was a little shivering but the taste was held back , he remains passionate about helping his mother, the mother who has given birth and cared for him, who is no longer young but still so agile and passionate.

Sandra knew her mother had been up since two in the morning and had gone to the vegetable market to sell her again, which she had done for the past ten years since Sandra was eight years old, when her mother felt Sandra was able and brave at home after school.

" It's my son, let me continue my own work, take this vegetable and cook there gih, then hunt your father wake up there is no breakfast" pinta Bu Lastri.

" Good Mom, "Sandra obeyed her mother's orders and rushed to the kitchen with the vegetables and fish that her mother had given her.

Cooking is not difficult for Sandra, since she was a child she was used to doing one job, Ms. Lastri often taught Sandra how to cook so that when she went around selling vegetables Sandra could do it herself and not have to wait for her to come home when Sandra was hungry and wanted to eat.

With deftly Sandra cooking and serving it at the kitchen table, then she went to go to take a shower and went to work because the sun had begun to shine warm the cold air that morning.

After bathing and changing clothes, Sandra was looking for her mother, the woman in her car was no longer there, the vegetable cart owned by Bu Lastri was also not seen.

"Maybe I was in a hurry to be afraid of the customer long waiting for bad luck" Sandra murmured

He saw a wall clock in his house,

"Great it's six in the morning, I might be late again." Sandra Mumbles.

Sandra went to the kitchen to get breakfast for her father, but she saw him in the kitchen having breakfast.

Sandra smiled to see her father had improved and was able to eat breakfast by himself, two days ago her lung disease relapsed,fortunately, at that time there was Mr. Wijaya who happened to be visiting and immediately took his father to the hospital.Of course, all the costs and medicines all Mr. Wijaya who bore,it was a burden for Sandra and her family. Because even though they are poor they do not like to bother anything else to owe others, but Mr. Wijaya is so strong to pay the cost of the hospital Mr. Imam. Not to mention the assistance that has been done, Mr. Wijaya often told his driver to deliver drugs Pak Imam which is not cheap, sometimes also fruits and gifts for the Imam and family. Sandra got dizzy how she could repay Pak Wijaya's kindness or how else she could refuse help from Mr. Wijaya without offending or hurting his feelings.

"Sandra.... " The Imam surprised Sandra's daydream.

"Why just stand and smile ? let's go with breakfast.." Bring the Imam.

" Any father ngagetin Sandra only," said Sandra as she pursed her sweet lips.

"Boy is better ? How is father ?" Sandra.

"Eat him do not like to daydream, what else to fantasize,

you're healthy, you don't have to worry, let's have breakfast ." Pak invites the princess just wayangnya breakfast again.

But Sandra was in a hurry, the clock on the wall kept turning day by day, Sandra was worried that she would be late again because Sandra's work distance was very far away, it took her two hours to get to the restaurant where she worked because the restaurant was located in the middle of the city while Sandra's house was in a village in the suburban area.

" Sandra later, sir, it's afternoon afraid it's too late, not good for the others" said Sandra.

" But you have to have breakfast first, at least eat a little, your journey is not close you know." Pinta Pak Imam again.

"Sir, Sandra will have breakfast there, don't forget to finish breakfast taking her medicine" Sandra approached the Imam and said goodbye to kiss the back of the old man's hand.

"It's up to you, but be careful on the road"

"Siiiaap boss" Sandra smiled excitedly as she raised her hand and saluted to her father, her father smilingly looking at her daughter's behavior.

Sandra was about to take off her motorcycle when a black luxury car came in and parked in the yard. Mr. Wijaya got out of the car after his driver opened the car door. Mr. Wijaya smiled and approached Sandra who was already hanging on her motorcycle.

" Morning son, are you going to work ? greet Pak Wijaya.

" Yes sir, you're in the kitchen having breakfast" Timpal Sandra, he knows his father must have been wanted.

"Where is the situation, it happens that you have not had breakfast from home ??" Tempta Pak Wijaya's.

"Of course you can sir, Mr. Wijaya just come in, I'm sure you're very happy, Sandra said farewell first" Sandra said politely.

Eating at Sandra's house is nothing new for Mr. Wijaya, he really likes Sandra and Bu Lastri dishes that he thinks are both delicious.

After seeing Mr. Wijaya enter the house, Sandra immediately went by, this time he drove his motorcycle quickly, the sun had started to rise, it meant he must be late again.

Until the parking lot Sandra ran in a hurry to enter the restaurant.

Bru......!!!

Suddenly Sandra's body slightly bounced back, she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Aahh, ma ma af I ti.ti dak intentionally ..." Sandra was surprised.

The man in front of him looked at him with a dislike look.

Sandra tried to stand up with a stagger.

"Once again I'm sorry sir, I was in a hurry" Sandra said.

"Dasar Udik village !! " The man rebuked and passed leaving Sandra inside the restaurant first.

Sandra was still stunned in place but soon regained her senses and ran about to change into a waiters uniform in the back room of the restaurant.

Sandra changed clothes while nagging indistinctly.

" Basically strange men, handsome men who do not have manners, some are sorry even do not think of indiscriminate people, arrogant rich people," Gerutu Sandra.

Sandra's nagging continued until she finished changing clothes and rushed to the restaurant kitchen in fear, as it was clear this time she was late again. A bad feeling enveloped his heart.

"Mom Henny the head of the restaurant over there must be angry again" Guess Sandra.

And sure enough, Sandra went into the kitchen, Miss Henny was waiting for her with an unfriendly face and pouting lips. Sandra walked slowly while lowering her head.

" What other reason now ? do you know what time it is ? Sandra, I appreciate Dean putting you in here, I know Dean is a good, hard-working man, he values his time, he's a professional worker, too, but don't expect me to be more patient if you continue like this every day ! " Snake Bu Henny.

" I'm sorry ma'am, my house is so far away........" Sandra had not finished her sentence yet but Henny immediately cut it off, both of her eyebrows raised as if dissatisfied with Sandra's answer.

" Home away is not an excuse, I have repeatedly explained, and you already know the rules of working here and have agreed with it, cherish the time and appreciate the kindness of the person who gave you the opportunity to work here" explained Ms. Henny.

Sandra looked down and regretted her stupidity. He should have been more diligent and woke up earlier so as not to be late for work and also not to make Brother Dean ashamed of it. "should, should and should........ Oh Sandra why are you so stupid", Sandra.

Sandra didn't budge on what Henny would do to her, it's only been a week and it's the third time she's been late for work. Friends of Sandra's friends all glanced at her, some pity, there are also those who look upset, maybe they were told that morning apple first because of Sandra.

"I don't want this to happen again 'this is my last warning, I hope you ......"

"Fired him !! "

Suddenly a voice entered the kitchen, everyone looked towards the origin of the sound. They saw a young man of tall stature, white skin wearing a neat shirt, both hands he put in the pocket of the pants he was wearing.

" Young master "Mom Henny flinched, then bowed to the man.

While Sandra was very surprised, both her eyes widened, her heart beat faster, because the man was the man she had hit in the parking lot.

" No, don't fire me..." Sandra's legs felt weak, Sandra was praying not to meet the man again, but in fact now she had to ask the man who insulted her earlier so as not to be fired, he said,sandra needs a job.

The picture of the disappointed face of both her tired and wrinkled parents is clearly visible, she wants both parents to stop working and enjoy their old days.Tak feels the tears of Sandra fall down her cheeks.

" Henny, you didn't hear ? fire this hick girl, and get her out of here ! " The man ignored Sandra. His eyes were so cold, completely ignoring Sandra who was already sweating coldly and in fear.

" But sir ... " Sergey Bu Henny.

"I don't want to have an undisciplined employee who doesn't value time, especially a careless hick girl like this !!" Said the man.

" Good sir, but may I speak with you for a moment ? " Mother Henny.

The man did not say, he just nodded and went to his study, Henny followed him from behind.

After they could not be seen all looking at each other and whispering, they did not know who the man was.

Sandra was sitting limp, she was confused how, if she came home later, she was afraid to see the faces of her parents were sad, she was also ashamed of Nurul and her family who had helped her get a job, especially if Dean's brother finds out if he was fired when he just worked a week.

In a different room, it looks like a young man is sitting on a chair behind a desk.Founded by Henny Bu the head employee at the restaurant.

" I hope you will talk about something important and not waste my time in vain" the man said.

" Young master, young master I think give a little chance to the girl" said Ms. Henny.

The man frowned his eyes looking displeased.

"Why should I give him a chance ? You said yourself that he made the same mistake over and over again ? " The man looked confused and disliked.

"Yes, sir, but I just want to bully him, actually the boy is too young compared to the other employees, maybe the young soul that makes him not able to think and be responsible as well as others, I give the last chance also because the performance of the child is very good and agile compared to others, he said, he is also not picky work, whatever he does including helping his friend even though it is not his job. And I have also heard that his father is sickly, before leaving for work the boy took care of his father first, for that I hope the young master reconsiders the decision of the master, give the girl another chance" Ms. Henny tried to persuade the man.

Although fierce Ms. Henny is a good and wise person, because of her work she must be firm and feared so that all employees obey all the rules.

The man did not budge, he looked at Henny seriously.

"Well, I gave the girl one last chance, but remind the hick girl not to make the slightest mistake. And again, I'm giving this opportunity not because of the girl you told me about, but because I respect you because you are my father's trust and your loyalty all along to this restaurant "

Ms. Henny nodded in understanding and thanked me.

" Then sir, let me introduce you to the employees" continued Ms. Henny.

" No, you're all right, I've lost my mood because of that hick girl, just get me the progress file on this restaurant, I'll learn it" the man ordered.

Ms. Henny nodded and left the room.

"Good sir ."

Ms. Henny returned to the kitchen, the whispers stopped immediately, the atmosphere suddenly quiet, they all immediately stood up and lined up.

Sandra followed her friends while continuing to bow, she resigned because the possibility of her being able to keep working there was impossible.

" You must be surprised and confused who this man was, I immediately introduce, he is Mr. Alfian, Alfian Putra Wijaya, he said, the son of the owner of this restaurant who started today is in control of this restaurant, and I remind you, he said,young master doesn't like the slightest mistake and it's not easy to tolerate the slightest mistake, so be careful when you work,you're also very disciplined so work your best if you want to keep working here."Obviously Mrs Henny.

"And you !!! Henny pointed at Sandra, Sandra who looked down did not know about it until her friend nudged her shoulder and looked up at Ms. Henny.

" Ii .. i yes, yes Ma'am "Sandra stuttered to look at Ms. Henny with fear and resignation.

"Yes, you Sandra, thank God the young master today is still kind enough to forgive you, from today work more discipline and do not make mistakes again ! "

Henny's words instantly made him in disbelief, he smiled and nodded his head like a child, almost he ran and hugged Bi Henny but he said.

" Thank you ma'am, thank you so much "Sandra said, she can't say anymore.

Ms. Henny just kept silent and ordered all employees, both cooks and waiters, to immediately do their own work.

All the employees disbanded and were busy with their respective jobs including Sandra. He cheerfully did his job still with a sense of disbelief over his luck.
