A few months later.
A young mother ran after getting off the transport that took her. Because as a new employee he does not want to be late.
After arriving the woman immediately opened her locker and put her bag inside. Change his clothes in a special uniform where he works.
It has become a daily routine since deciding to go back to work as before. It's just that now it's not just for him or helping his family, but there are children that he must meet his needs.
"Mother's prayers are handsome, hopefully today everything is smooth." Say Sekar while wiping a photo of his son on the phone screen. Before starting work Sekar always took the time to see photos of Zayn who is now getting smarter running. Pray to always be given ease when he works.
"Why did you just come? just now Mr. Ridwan nanyain mba has come. Good thing I lied a little bit about being in the toilet." Said Sekar's co-worker, He was so worried when the restaurant manager asked Sekar. But that time has not come yet.
"Sorry yes again I took care of you.Si handsome suddenly pup time I want to nganterin to mba Tuti, as a result I clean first before leaving" said Sekar felt bad . But how else, the risk of being a single parent who is busy working and having toddlers.
"It's okay, relax. I'm just afraid that I might get angry let alone get fired. You really need this job." As a housemate Maryam really knows that Sekar who already has children certainly requires more money from him.
All this time Maryam was actually very curious about the life of Sekar.
Yet He held her back from asking because it was his personal realm.
"Let's just ask him, than I keep thinking." Maryam's mind finally.
They finally began to work in their respective positions. Maryam who is in charge of cleaning is different from Sekar who works in the kitchen area.
His cooking skills because he used to help his mother make it easy to get a job that suits him.
Until the time continues to crawl, the sun is increasingly standing upright. Two hours left when it's Sekar and Maryam's turn for lunch break.
Working in a restaurant makes them get a round break ration. Because at lunch time there will certainly be many customers to fill their stomachs.
The average customer here is an employee in tall buildings located not far from the restaurant where they work.
The restaurant that opened half a year ago made customers quite satisfied. Because in addition to its close location and very strategic, the food served is also very in accordance with the contents of their wallet.
From what Sekar heard from other employees, if the owner of this restaurant is a handsome man. And reportedly the handsome boss had just had a wedding two months ago, making some employees who are certainly women feel heartbreak. Including Maryam who likes the figure of a handsome man but just admiring it.
Now the two women are in the back room, where all employees are provided with rest. Sitting on the floor with a soft carpet becomes the choice of Sekar and Maryam.
Because usually after eating they will relax their tired bodies first before continuing their work again.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Said Sekar who immediately patted his eel as soon as he remembered something.
"What?" ask Sekar before sipping bottled mineral water.
And Sekar himself just muttered to apologize again, I don't know what would happen to him if there was no Maryam. In Sekar's heart also felt lucky, he always prayed for the best for the kind woman
"Thank you, mba."
"Don't thank me, I'm kind to people so don't hesitate to ask for my help, okay."
Hearing that Sekar held back his laughter just a small smile.yeah, you're a good person. God sent someone like you when I needed help.
Then Sekar returned to eat his lunch.
"By the way can I ask you something?"
"What?" without looking at Maryam Sekar.
The girl was worried. Actually afraid to ask something that smells of personal domain. But Maryam thinks rather than keep wondering why not just ask. Unless Sekar refuses to answer then Maryam will stop and ask no more. That's how the girl thought.
"Is Zayn's father alive?" Maryam felt very relieved when she said that question.
"Sorry, I'm presumptuous." At once Maryam shrieked fear if Sekar to be offended by his question, because the woman saw him immediately stop eating and fell silent.
But who would have thought Sekar would answer. "Zayn's father is still alive and we're getting a good divorce." Say it as it is.
"But why have I never seen him? if indeed you are divorced properly should not He still support him or at least visit Zayn." Curiosity makes him lose control, Maryam again raised a question that makes Sekar difficult to answer.
Actually Maryam felt very sorry to see Sekar who struggled alone to support his son.
"Sorry yes not that I don't want to answer, but the story is very long there's no way I'm telling it now. So the more we just continue eating it, the minute we're out." What Sekar said is true that soon they have to continue their work. And that was enough of a reason for Sekar to divert the question from the girl.
Sekar thought if it was not time Maryam knew that she and Zayn's father had a pretty strange problem, about him being forced to marry the virgin widower.
Because Sekar did not want Maryam to feel sorry for him again.
Maryam who heard that sighed. Trying to think positively, it's okay to be right now is not the right time. Because to tell the journey of one's life takes a long time and a supportive atmosphere.
Moreover, Maryam felt that the life of Sekar certainly not easy, as evidenced by the events that made him full when he saw while at the stop first.
How can a woman and her infant child in her lap sit long pensively. It was so sad when Maryam saw it.
"Come on, we'll continue to work." Take it to Sekar who is ready first.
