CHAPTER 2

In the morning after the night they slept, Lijah's mother woke up first. He was about to go into the toilet and wash his face first before coming out of his room to the kitchen.

After reaching the kitchen, he immediately took the rice and washed it. After washing, he immediately put it in the rice cooker and then plug the cable into the electrical terminal.

Abis, he walked to the refrigerator to sort out the ingredients he wanted to cook. He took spinach, sweet corn, tempeh, chili, and also tomatoes. Then Ms. Lijah immediately washed it before it was processed.

Today, he wants to cook simple dishes. That is, clear spinach vegetables with a little mixture of corn, fried tempeh, parchment and also sambal terasi as a complement.

After almost an hour of cooking, all the dishes are ready to be served.

Bu Lijah immediately cleaned the kitchen and cooking utensils that had been used earlier.

When the morning sun had appeared on the eastern horizon and the rooster had started crowing, the other members of his family were already awake.

Sandra who has also been up immediately doing her routine activity is sweeping in the front yard of her house.

Arum also saw a lot of dirty clothes, immediately brought it in and put it in the washing machine.

When the two girls were doing their own activities, they were called by their father to gather in the family room.

" Sander....... Arums....... You guys come here first ". Call Mr. Hari.

Arum who heard the call of his father immediately quickly put the dirty clothes and went out to meet his father.

While Sandra whose life is still half a page, postpone the call of her father and immediately sweep quickly.

When all was gathered, he went into his house and met his father.

" What is this pa? How to grow gini early in the morning? " Task Sandra confused.

" You sit down, son ". Said Bu Lijah to Sandra who was still standing when she asked.

In a few seconds of silence, Hari began to speak.

" Sandra, do you really want to work in an import crab company as a production employee? ". Mr. Hari started interrogating.

Sandra was silent and wanted to think that maybe her mother had told her father all her wishes.

Arum who saw his brother who was daydreaming immediately nudged his arm.

" Eh... Yes pa. Sandra wants to work at the company ". Sandra replied with a bit of nervousness

" When will you work ? ". Ask Mr. Hari.

" If you and your mother agree, maybe soon I will apply for a job at that place ". Sandra.

" Alright, if you want to get to work. Same father mom will allow you. But remember, never do anything bad there. Remember your father, mother and sisters at home who always expect success from you. " Obviously Mr. Hari with a little advice.

" Yeah pa. Thanks for supporting Sandra in every activity Sandra wants ". Sandra said with a moved smile.

After the family finished talking, then they prepared breakfast on the dining table and ate it with great pleasure.

When all is full. They return to their own activities. Mr. Hari immediately went to the rice field to farm, Aldi who went into the room to continue his sleep. Ibu Lijah who wants to clean the former dirty cutlery was immediately prevented by Arum.

" Mom, let Arum and Sandra make the house. Mom just take a break ". Arum.

" All right, son. Well then, mom ahead first well ". Pamit Bu Lijah on Arum and Sandra.

Arum and Sandra immediately shared the task of washing dishes and sweeping. When they finished, they continued their initial work. Sandra went out into the front yard of her house to burn her trash while Arum rinsed and dried her laundry. When everything was done in clean, then they both rest.

The two of them immediately took their cell phones on their respective nightstands in the room. Then they play it.

After lunch time with the family, they immediately came out of his room. Once everything was ready, they immediately ate it. Abis, Aldi was about to get ready and rushed to his workplace.

Aldi works as a waitress in a cafe. He works because he wants to have his own income and also to fill his free time.

" Mom, Aldi went to work first ". Said Aldi excitedly while greeting his mother's hand.

" hehe... Yes Mother. Because later there will be an event at the cafe, so all employees are told to come quickly ". Aldi cengengesan.

" What event would you like to have at your workplace, son? " Ask Lijah's mother.

" Mum's birthday party. Boss Aldi's niece has booked him to celebrate his birthday party ". Obviously Aldi.

" Ohh. If so, go to your workplace, son. Later you even wait with your boss there ". Said Bu Lijah.

" Yeah Ma'am. If so, Aldi pampit work first well ma'am ". He said while putting a helmet on his head.

After leaving, Aldi was about to take his motorcycle in the garage to use it to his workplace.

After about twenty minutes of driving, Aldi arrived at the location where he worked. He first went to the parking lot to park his motorbike.

After parking his motorcycle, Aldi would immediately rush to the cafe to meet other employees. There, all employees are busy arranging the decoration of the room that will be used later for the birthday of the boss' nephew.

" Mas Aldi, how did you look ". Tegur Ratna, who is one of the waiters at the cafe.

" Yes, because I fell asleep earlier. That's why I'm a little slow to get here. " Say Aldi.

" Oh, is that it? Yes, let's get on with the job ". Reply Ratna.

" Yaudah come on ". Aldi and Ratna immediately walked towards the room of the gathered employees.

Ratna and Aldi have been so close lately. He often spent time together when they were just coming home from work. And also Ratna often asked Aldi for help to be taken home to his home when finished work.

And so they both look very familiar. Especially since the two of them very often exchanged stories with each other.

After the employees have completed their respective tasks and invited guests have started to come even with the owner of the event. They did their main job again.

After the clock showed at three in the afternoon, the event began. The event was held very simply but looks luxurious.

" Well, that's a pretty girl's birthday ". Said Lisa one of the cafe waiters.

" Yes, beautiful, fashionable, elegant too ". Said Ratna while praising.

" Must be he's a businessman's son?! ". Lisa gave her opinion.

" If he's a businessman's son, but why did he celebrate his birthday at the cafe. By and large, the rich love elite places such as hotels, restaurants, and others. But this is it?! ". Ratna was a little surprised.

" After some thought, yeah?! If he's a businessman's son, why would he hang out in a place like this ". Reply Lisa.

" Or maybe, he wants to be different from other upper circles ". Said Ratna with a small laugh.

" Haha.... It might be so ". Lisa and Ratna laughed at themselves.

When satisfied with the laugh, Ratna and Lisa returned to work.

The event at the cafe where they work is also crowded at the customers and invited guests.

The anniversary event is very lively especially when the bands or other artists are performing on stage in the cafe.

Our cafe guests and customers really enjoyed his arrival because they could see the performing artist live and also could take pictures together.

After 2 hours, the show was over. Guests are on good-bye to return to their homes. There was only the owner of the event along with his friends who stayed.

" Thank you for the cooperation ". Said Angel to the owner of the cafe who was also his uncle.

" Yes, same - same as Angel ". Said Mr. Ridwan.

" In that case, Angel said to go home first well om, fearing Angel got angry again as papa if Angel was caught making the same events friends again ". Angel said.

" Yes son, I understand how you are now. Then go home now so that you are not late to get home later. And don't forget to say my greetings to your father and mother well at home ". Reply Mr. Ridwan who is very understanding of the state of his father.

" Okay om. Later Angel convey to mami and papi. In that case, Angel immediately said yes om. And om ". He said while waving his hand.

Angel is one of the sons of a famous businessman. She is the only child of Prabu Wicaksono and Amalia. They only lived in Indonesia for a few months, because his parents were very busy with their work in Singapore.

However, they all come to Indonesia because there is a certain purpose. They will teach Angel a lesson because Angel is very dissident. Angel's parents will leave Angel to his mother's sister's house.

From the harsh treatment of his parents so far that Angel stopped being a dissident child. Therefore, Angel is very limited when making friends with anyone or on the move.
