Is There Still a Chance ???
New Problem
2 Months after Andhika's departure to Japan, Desi is taking care of her ailing mother. He was determined in his heart to find a job in order to help his mother's expenses for treatment. He no longer wants to ask for help to his family Andhika because all this time they have been enough to help the cost of living himself and his mother.
"Mom should go to the hospital" Desi said.
"What are you wearing ? do you have money" ? his mother replied in a condescending tone.
"I will work and look for a loan ma'am, I can't bear to see my mother continue to endure pain like this" Desi added.
"Halahhhhh says you're happy that I started so no one can scold you anymore and tell you this and that" his mother sarcastically said.
"Not like that, ma'am, I'd rather be scolded and told by mom than I should see you like this. I'm afraid of losing my mother because she's the only mother I have in the world" she replied in tears.
"I will do anything for the recovery of the mother" he explained again.
"Hmmm reason" answered his mother (but there was actually a sense of touch in his heart to hear his daughter's sincere words when saying these words).
"Then I take a break, from today I will try to find a job that I can do after school" he said and left his mother.
After Desi's departure, her mother's tears just flowed. She felt guilty for what she had done to her daughter because she had not accepted her husband's departure and blamed the incident on her daughter.
"I'm sorry dear mother" she said.
"I'm sorry, too, I've wasted our daughter all this time and I've failed to be a good mother because of my selfishness" he continued with a breath that felt tight.

"Excuse me sir, I thought - thought there was a job opening" ? desi asked one of the officers who worked at the restaurant.
"Waduhh sorry my deck does not know because I also just work here" he said.
"Try you ask who knows there are vacancies available" the father suggested.
"Alright sir, thank you" (while nodding his head) Desi replied.
Then, he went inside and one of the officers who worked at the place drove him to meet with Mr. Raka the owner of the restaurant.
"Excuse me sir, is here opening a job opening ? asked Desi politely.
"Sorry the deck here is no job vacancies only if Saturday and Sunday because customers always come so our officers are a bit overwhelmed maybe on that day you can work here. Are you ready" ? ask the owner of the restaurant.
"Yes sir, I am willing" he replied enthusiastically. Kira - guess what the task will be in the next section sir" ? ask Desi.
"You can later help in the clean part like washing dishes" explained Mr. Raka.
"Ohh it's okay sir, I can really" he said.
"Alright then, you I accept working here. Hopefully you feel at home and can work well and optimally" explained the father again.
"Thank you very much sir, I will work my best" he replied, bowing.
