Love for the Mentari
Additional work



I led this boy to his feet, with a quick movement of my hand pushing a little forward and patting his back a little hard. Apparently this way didn't work. I then wrapped my hands around her waist from behind and gave a push in her heart using the clenched palm as tightly as possible several times. Fortunately this boy's body although a bit tall but not so big so easily I did this technique.


Sure enough, after 5 pushes, a piece of meat the size of a five hundred coin coin jumped out of his mouth.


He coughed for a moment and his breath was wheezing. His face looks amazing.


"Thank you, brother" he said softly, as he shook my right hand


"Father together, next time be careful when eating. You're okay, right??" I patted her shoulder slowly.


"Sister" he replied with a sigh, his handsome face smiling at me.


Being too concentrated with my efforts earlier, I didn't realize it turned out that many people were crowding around us and clapping boisterously with my success in saving the child.


"Thank you for your help. If only it had not been here somehow my son's fate" said the mother with a trembling voice, her face looking moved closer towards me and then hugged me tightly while crying.


"Together mother, it just so happens that I once learned to handle things like this" I can only welcome this close hug from Mother resignedly.


"It's kind of weird, 'cause since my parents and brother are gone, it's the first time I've had a warm hug like this, I just suddenly want to cry. Brother Damar I miss, father, mother I really, really want to see you" I said in my mind.


A memory of my parents and brother smiling appeared before my eyes.


I held back the tears that began to fill my eyes. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly over and over again, until I felt better. The mother had also finished with her cries and stretched her arms.


The people surrounding us seemed to have started to disperse themselves in an orderly manner.


"Bak come to dinner? " Ask the mother


"No ma'am, I have business with the manager here" I replied again


"Oh, I want to have dinner together" he said with a disappointed face


I who noticed her disappointed face hurriedly said "What if next time, ma'am?"


The mother smiled happily at my words "ok, we'll reschedule well, oh yes until I forget my name Alina" With a quick movement she took out a business card from inside her bag.


I replied to her by handing over my card "I'm Riri ma'am"


We exchanged business cards, at a glance I read a card that read Alina Sudarma on it.


"Then I go first Ms. Alina"


"Yes to Riri, thanks again. I'll call mbak" he said again looking at me warmly. I nodded, her eyes reminding me of my mother's eyes, there was a strange swish I felt as I looked into her eyes.


I intend to ask Mr. Sugi back to the waiter there. When I wanted to turn my body suddenly there was a heavy voice greeting behind me.


"Good night ma'am, I'm Sugi manager here"


He greeted Alina's mother steadily


"Sorry for today's incident, it should be our duty and responsibility to our restaurant customers"


"It's okay sir, fortunately Riri was quick to act. I also understand that not everyone can handle such a thing" Alina's mother replied wisely.


"This is my record ma'am for improving our service to be better again in the future ma'am"


Alina's mother just nodded and smiled


"Thank you, Ms. Riri, for her alertness and help today" Mr. Sugi turned to look at me with a smile.


"Sama-sama sir" I answered quickly.


"Then now we can talk about our pending affairs right?" Mr. Sugi looked at me sharply


"Aaa ok sir" I replied with a slight stammer after hearing his words just now.


"Please Mr. Sugi and Ms. Riri" Ms. Alina said


"Let's go" I said to Ms. Alina who seemed to nod at me, then I followed her.


Mr. Sugi was waiting for a man who was quite old in front of the door of his room. I followed Mr. Sugi in, and then I was welcome to sit at his desk.


"I'm Sugi, the manager here and this is my assistant Doni sir, you're Riri Amelia right?! "


"Dad sir right, I was told to come here about dad's shirt?" I said doubtfully


"One of them is yes, why didn't you pass that lipstick stain on to me this morning? I almost met the staff with such a shirt" he said furiously


"I'm sorry sir, I'll be honest. I am currently in a financial situation where it is not possible to change my shirt. After I had noticed this morning most likely the shirt was priced appreciably. That's why I pretended not to see it and wished we hadn't met again" I replied resignedly as I looked into his eyes which seemed to be looking at me.


"Hmm ok then how about instead you work to help me quietly in this restaurant for a while" Pak Sugi's face looks calm.


"Help in what way sir?" Askaqua.


"Help me in touch with some of the local and international media options for advertising and release this restaurant"." I heard from HRD there you are competent in this field, of course I will hide your real identity"


"Dheg!" My heart suddenly thumped at the word real identity that he said earlier "so far does this person know my true identity?, hopefully he doesn't get that far. God help me, I just want to live a quiet life"


"What is the original identity, sir?" I asked with a feeling of uncertainty


"I mean, you can't be known to work at hotel Z. I'll give you a lovely pseudonym for here. Find a way to contact the media. Like you who only work behind the scenes and never met anyone from the media at Hotel Z"


I breathed a sigh of relief hearing this statement from Mr. Sugi.


"Okay sir, I can do it. How long do I have to work here? "


"Only a range of four to six months" he replied confidently


"Hmm sorry sir maybe a bit presumptuous, why don't you look for PR staff just to work here?"


"That's my business" he answered briefly in a flat tone.


"OK!" I gulped down my saliva "The man is a saklek as well" I muttered inwardly.


"Kroggghhh!" The sound of my stomach was suddenly heard clearly by me. I looked at Mr. Sugi who was looking at me sharply.


"Not eaten? " He glanced at the clock on his wrist.


"Not yet sir" I replied weakly


Mr. Sugi turned to look at Mr. Doni who was standing next to him


"Sir Doni, please contact the kitchen for help prepare a special menu food today, take away one well. Bring it here immediately. Oh yes order me a caffe latte, hmm ma'am Riri want to drink what? " Sugi turned to me who was daydreaming about the soft mattress in the boarding room, the warm tea of jasmine with a little sugar, the ballad song on my phone....


"Mom Riri! What to drink?! " Recall her, I'm shocked


"Case" Eh sorry warm tea one pack" I replied later while cursing myself "astagaaa Riri!!! You're daydreaming! Habits of you!!" I shook my own.


"Back to business. When are you ready? "


"Quickly can sir" I replied trying to stay focused.


"Then I created an email account for you to use. We will communicate through this and you can also use this phone for communication with the media" Mr. Sugi pulled the phone out of his drawer.


I took the phone and opened it, there was only Mr. Sugi's name there. I nodded in understanding.


"I have a media list sir, you can see the list for yourself. I have been equipped with important data such as their target market, distribution to the price range of the ad. So later you can choose first to connect with any media" I take out a flash from my bag.


Mr. Sugi calmly read the list I gave "meaning HRD Hotel Z is right about your fast and responsive performance"


"Thank you for the compliment sir, I just want to make my own work easier" I said quickly, I'm actually not comfortable in front of praise directly like this.


We finally discussed some of the media on my list, until I finally came home with food from Mr. Sugi. "Lumayan can save dinner today"
