Malika immediately headed to PANKEKI BAKERY after hastily completing the shipment of her order. Fortunately time still showed at one o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the bakery.
As usual, Malika headed straight to the front desk to convey the intent of her arrival.
"Excuse me, Ma! I want to face Mr Zacky can?" malika asked the girl behind the front desk.
"Oh, it was rich'nya sir Zacky came out, Mom!" the girl looked a little confused.
"Can I wait, Ma'am? You see, I have an appointment with him." pinta Malika.
"Good, Mom. Please!"
And again, the girl from the baby pink front desk drove her to Mr. Zacky's office waiting room.
"Please wait here, ma'am. Later if Mr. Zacky returns, I will immediately tell him that you are waiting here." said the girl.
Malika just nodded with a smile accompanying the departure of the front desk staff had come out of the waiting room.
Malika sat herself on the sofa in the room. To be honest he was very sleepy considering almost all night he was working on orders.
He was only able to sleep for a while around three in the morning and had to wake up again at five in the morning to prepare the needs of his children before he left them at the Rima house.
Fortunately, he started delivering orders early. Because it turns out that many roads through which experiencing congestion. He left the house at eight for fifteen minutes. And just finished sending all orders at twelve noon more.
Hence Malika went straight to PANKEKI BAKERY without having time to go home for lunch. Just so, the contract expired, coming home from here I just ate at Rima's house. Her thought. Even though this morning he also did not have time to eat breakfast so busy taking care of two children.
Tiredness that wrestled in his body, comfortable seating and air-conditioned cold room made drowsiness come quickly and immediately mastered Malika. And he fell asleep unconsciously in the waiting room.
Meanwhile, Taki who was working in his own kitchen in the bakery division suddenly heard the sound of his cell phone ringing. He removed the plastic glove from his right hand to take the phone out of his pocket.
Without seeing who was calling because her eyes were still focused on her work, Taki directly pressed the receiver button on her phone and stuck the flat object in her ear and pinned it with his shoulder.
📱TAKI SAHARA

📱ZACKY NUGROHO'S

📱ZACKY NUGROHO'S

📱TAKI SAHARA

📱TAKI SAHARA

📱ZACKY NUGROHO'S

📱TAKI SAHARA
Siaaappp
Taki then paused for a moment from his activities after putting his phone back in an apron bag.
His mind immediately floated on the beautiful figure of Malika the new staff candidate Nanda assistant.
How can I think of that girl so easily? Did I have a crush on Malika?! taki Inner wondered.
But he immediately shook his head to dismiss that thought. Malika is beautiful and young. He should not be imperfect, dare to approach the woman. Taki again doctrin his own mind not to try to love anyone.
A while later, Taki who had finished his work then rushed towards the waiting room. But as she opened the door slowly, she saw Malika sleeping on the sofa alone.
Taki immediately remembered what Zacky said on the phone, Did he fall asleep because of fatigue huh? Guess Taki.
Taki opened the door of the room wide and did not intend to close it again. But instead of immediately waking Malika from her sleep, she followed him sitting on another sofa facing Malika's sofa.
Taki sat there while looking at Malika. Although his mouth was silent, but his mind was at war with his heart. He did not want to open his heart to anyone but why exactly the door of his heart even opened by itself when he faced this woman.
Taki continued to stare at Malika's sleeping face in silence. He can even stay at home all day long remain in that position if all he sees is Malika. Somehow the woman so quickly took control of his mind and slipped into his heart.
Malika who had wriggled to stretch her muscles half-consciously turned off the cellphone alarm that she took out of her pocket. Suddenly he remembered where he was.
"Give me!!!" screech while standing up. And when her eyes saw the figure sitting not far from her, Malika again screeched. "Give me!!! Sorry!!!"
Malika directly lowered her head deeply while tidying up her long hair that was messy due to falling asleep earlier.
Taki who saw Malika's reaction was initially astonished, but finally he smiled amusedly at the young woman's clumsiness. He also felt that Malika's reaction just now was very funny and sweet.
So cute! Think Taki.
With a red face, Malika again apologized to Taki who was still sitting quietly in front of her.
"Nggg..anu, Sorry, Sir! Sa-me, overslept!" malika said nervously.
Taki remained silent as he was holding back his laughter.
"Nngg, I have an appointment with Mr. Zacky. That's.muant sign the employment contract he said!" malika explained.
No longer wanting to make Malika feel uncomfortable, Taki immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the door. "Let's come with me!" take him to Malika.
With a swift, Malika also stood up and followed Taki from behind. The two of them then stood in front of the door of the room that read 'Leading Room'. Taki opened the door and then allowed Malika to enter first and then herself.
"Please sit there!" taki orders Malika while pointing at a set of sofas that are in the middle of the room.
Malika. He awkwardly sat on one of the end sofas. Taki then retrieves some files from Zacky's desk which he knows as Malika's employment contract file.
He then brought the files in front of Malika while thrusting a pen.
"This is his contract document. You will be contracted for six months first as a trial period, then if your performance is good it does not rule out the possibility that we will extend your contract once every year" explained Taki.
Malika took the documents and read them. "When can I start work, sir?" Malika asked as she continued to read through the sheet by sheet of paper.
"Come in from tomorrow, because the order this month is already full so Chef Nanda is very tight with just two assistants. Kitchen staff working hours from eight thirty in the morning to forty in the afternoon. Later you will get a checkloc paper for daily absences and work schedules and holiday schedules in a month that are done alternately." explained Taki.
Before long, Malika arrived at the pay page and she was stunned when she saw the details of the salary she would get.
Taki who could catch Malika's surprised expression when he saw the details immediately tried to explain.
"Here we pay employees on probation just like contract employees. The difference is in the allowance. If the trial employee will only be given transport money and meal money per day beyond the base salary, while in the contract employee, the contract, we add health benefits and old age benefits that will all follow the inflation rate that applies every year."
Malika looks mangosteen with sparkling eyes. To be honest, all of this exceeded his expectations. He did not expect, could join a famous bakery even get a higher salary than he expected.
Today Malika is truly grateful for the gift of God given to her. He wanted to see his family soon to tell him the good news.
"Where should I sign, sir?" malika asked Taki.
"Here and here!" Taki pointed at the bottom column on two different papers.
And Malika immediately signed her with enthusiasm. After that Taki also signed the two files in a column that said 'Leader' and then gave the official stamp PANKEKI BAKERY.
That was when Malika immediately gawked at him. He who had always thought that Taki was just a Chef was also a leader in the famous bakery.
"You, Chief here, sir? asked Malika desperately wanted to make sure the contents in her mind.
Taki smiled faintly then nodded briefly.
"But you're also the Chef here?" ask Malika again.
And again Taki repeated his answer with the same response as before.
"Who is Mr Zacky then?" Malika back to kepo.
"He's my deputy here. He usually takes care of office problems while I just live acc only. The rest of me was more often in the bakery kitchen." explains Taki still with a smile on his lips.
Malika seemed to nod meaningfully. But because he remembered his two children, he then immediately decided to go home.
"Is it over, sir?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, already. You may bring a copy of this contract. And for your CV yesterday, because there is no original archive then we will keep it as an archive of our employees. That okay?" Taki tried to make sure.
"Yes, Sir! Go ahead, it's okay!"
"Well then, I say welcome to join us at PANKEKI BAKERY!" Taki thrust his hand in doubt.
But Malika seemed eager to welcome him and reply Taki's hand with a face of sumringah.
"Thank you for the opportunity you've given me. I will try my best to be useful here." promised Malika sincerely. "Please excuse me, sir!" pamit Malika's.
Taki just nodded and silently stared at Malika's back which began to move away and disappeared at the turn of the hallway towards the exit.
The young chef then looked at the hand that was shaking with Malika. Somehow he had shaken, but when Malika welcomed his hand, immediately all over Taki's body was like a mild but stinging electric current.
Yes Tuhaannn, what's wrong with me? Taki then sat back in the leader's office room while ruffling his own hair.
