“ Good morning,” my handkerchief this morning.
Me and the rest of my friends are working as usual, as if nothing happened yesterday. It's just me and Widya who are different now. There are no habits we used to have.
And still like yesterday, Widya kept avoiding me. Although I already know the reason behind his treatment of me, but I also want to hear an explanation directly from him. But I don't know when Widya will do it, I don't know.
“ Yuna, please deliver this order to table 5, yes,” said Herman pointing at the table at the other end.
“ Oh okay,” I replied.
I also took a tray containing three drinks and food on the table. I carefully led her to the table containing the three young women.
Arriving at the table, I put down one by one their orders. I forgot to let them enjoy the dish.
“ Anything else I can help you with?" I asked and they just shook their heads. " I'm sorry,” I said I want to go back, but there is a woman who looks at me sharply.
“ You!” show the woman.
I who was confused by his attitude just smiled stiffly.
“ Aren't you that woman!” yell again.
“ Ha? Ma-af.” I am more confused by his words.
“ So you're just a waiter,” he glanced at me from top to bottom. “ Are you not self-conscious about your circumstances.”
I have had enough patience with his insults, but he did not stop his harsh words.
“ Sorry miss, please speak politely,” I said as calmly as possible.
“ Polite you said!”
He stood up and pulled my hair, as I grimaced in pain.
“ You don't deserve to talk to me like that, ha! You brash waitress!”
I tried to let go of his crave, but because it was too strong, I just resigned. The people around started to swarm us and try to organize this dispute that I did not understand.
“ Miss, I don't know you, why are you doing this to me.”
“ Don't know me? After you took my girlfriend, you said you didn't know me, you pissed me off.”
A boyfriend?
“ Miss, you're wrong.”
“ I can not be wrong people, after he introduced you as his future wife, where maybe I forget your annoying face.”
Wife-to-be?
“ Aw.” He pulled my hair strong.
The people around me are unable to stop the violence of women who have been filled with these emotions. Until Martin came and made the woman instantly let go of her pull.
“ What is this?”
“ Who are you?” ask the woman.
“ I am the owner of this cafe miss."
“ oh so you're the owner of this cafe.”
“ Right, I am the owner of this cafe. If you may know why the lady did this to my employee.”
“ You should be more selective looking for workers, do not be careless like this. Could-can this place will get a bad reputation.”
“ Sorry miss, I don't understand what you mean. If my employees make mistakes please forgive or you can complain to me. “
“ This is not an ordinary mistake that can be forgiven just like that. This woman has already snatched the property of others.”
“ I didn't do it,” I said quickly.
“ You're acting once yes just because Gafi chose you and you feel like you're getting pretentious because soon you'll be the Director's wife, ha! EJ Group will not necessarily be yours.”
Ha...
I took a long breath. I don't understand that at all. I think he's drunk or hallucinating.
“ Sorry miss, I told you already, you are wrong person.”
“ You!” he who wants to hurt me again must eventually stop because Martin is protecting me.
“ Miss, please don't make a fuss here. It's also clear that my workers didn't do what the lady accused.”
“ So you don't trust me.”
“ Sorry miss.”
“ Ha!” He began to lose patience. “ Just look if you are still hiring this bitch, I will make sure that this place will be destroyed!” the screams are then pulled by his friends.
I'm still in shock about this. Didn't expect to experience something terrible like this. Herman who was near me then took me to the back. He took a glass of water for me to drink.
“ Drink Yuna, you must be in shock.”
“ Thank you,” I said then sipped the water.
“ Yuna.”
I who was pensive earlier then realized because of his call.
“ Sorry.”
“ Who was that woman? You don't know him?”
“ I don't know who he is, I don't know him either.”
“ You sure?” Suddenly Tia's voice surprised me. “ There's no way he's attacking you, right? Try to remember again.”
I shook my head.
“ He called Gafi's name, don't you remember that name?”
“ Gafi?”
“ EJ Group," he said again.
“ Ga-fi...” I remember that name. A familiar name in my ears. For a moment I remembered the incident at Hanum's wedding. “ Ah, he really got me in trouble.”
“ You remember ya?”
“ Yes, I remember. I didn't know it was gonna be like this.”
“ So it's true you snatched his lover.”
“ No! I didn't do it, I didn't even know him. The man named Gafi made me a shield to avoid the woman. After all if they are lovers, why should the man lie to him “
“ You were right too, but the problem is now that the woman thinks of you as her lover's usurper.”
“ Yes, you are right. The woman will think like that until anytime.”
“ Hm.”
“ Arghh!!! Really sucks.” I ruffled my hair out of annoyance.
“ But that's not just your problem, Boss Martin told you to come to his office.”
“ Ha?”
“ Is there. Boss is waiting for you.”
“ Why didn't you say from earlier.”
I immediately got up and tidied up my messy appearance earlier.
...****...
“ Excuse Boss.”
“ Go in Yuna,” she said let me in.
“ I'm sorry about earlier Boss, I really did not expect it would be like this.”
“ Do you really not know him?”
“ I do not know him, but there was an incident that involved me and the woman earlier. It was also due to accident and I also just remembered it earlier.”
“ So it's true you snatched her lover, Yuna.”
“ No, not like that.”
“ Then?”
“ The point is I am stuck in their relationship. Her lover wanted to avoid her then make me as a shield and the woman was not happy.”
Martin scrunched his forehead.
“ It's a little strange, but that's how things really are, I didn't snatch anyone.”
“ But you've already considered him a usurper.”
I nodded my head.
“ Sorry Boss.”
“ Yuna, this is already very serious, if she does a no-no with this cafe, everyone will be in trouble.”
“ Mean Boss?”
“ For the time being, you're home alone for a week. I'll take care of all these problems with him.”
“ A Week? Meaning I'm on suspension?”
“ Yes Yuna, it's only a week. You know how that woman was, she's a reckless person. If he breaks the cafe's good name, it's not just me, it's everyone. You understand what I mean.”
“ Alright, I understand,” I said in a soft voice.
I really can't do anything. I understand Martin's intentions and goals and I can't be selfish, it's for the good of everyone.
