Mr. Arga's wife

"How am I supposed to pay for mom's hospital expenses?" Rethah muttered in the heart.
After the departure of her father, Retha as the eldest child must be the backbone of the family to support her mother and sister. He has to go to college while working. Now he has entered the final semester soon to be graduating.
Now his mother has kidney failure and has to do dialysis every week. His sister is still in junior high school.
Retha must get money so that her mother can immediately do a kidney transplant. The cost is quite expensive so that makes Retha confused about where to get money from.
"Let's relax I'll get some money soon, and soon you'll be healthy." Retha said while kissing her mother's forehead.
He went out of his mother's care room. Lately his mother is often in and out of the hospital probably because of her chronic kidney disease.
Retha walks out of the hospital waiting for public transport to pass. Not long after seemed a public transportation came and stopped in front of Retha. Rethah came in immediately.
After a while, Rethah finally arrived in front of a restaurant. This restaurant is where he works. Every 2 pm, Rethah will work at this restaurant. She worked until the night after that to go back to the hospital to look after her mother.
Rethah went into the restaurant.
"Have Re come?" Tanya Delia her co-worker and college friend Retha.
"Oh yes, have you come, Del?" Ask Retha back.
"Yes, I just arrived." Delia.
Then they immediately carry out their duties.
At 19:00 a group of mothers entered the restaurant. Reth immediately welcomed him.
"Good night, ma'am, it's her menu book." Retha said to the mothers.
"Yes thank you." Reply to the mother and lie down to Retha. Rethah replied with a sweet smile.
"Jeng Rani I want Foie Gras to drink Grand Marnier" said one of them.
"Bak wrote down all the orders they mentioned." Said Rani one of the mothers there.
"Good Mistress." Retha
After all the orders are written Retha returns to the kitchen to hand the order to the chef.
A little while later the food was finished, Retha delivered the food.
"Please Madam, enjoy." Retha said not forgetting followed by her sweet smile. When Retha finished, she went back inside.
"Look at the servant girl, isn't she so beautiful, why would she be a servant." Said one who was in the crowd.
"Do you think beautiful women don't need to eat."
Hearing Rani's words they all laughed. After a while finally dinner was finished and looks the restaurant is quiet maybe soon will close.
Rani raised her hand as a gesture to call the waiter. Rethah also came.
"This please pay to the cashier." Said Rani.
"Well, Madam, wait a minute." Retha then answered with a nod by Rani.
After some time Retha returned and gave the bill and handed it to Rani. Rani intends to give a few tips to Retha but Retha refuses because it is not tasty. Finally, with the compulsion of Rani Retha also received the money. And they left the restaurant.
Retha returned to the kitchen soon after her work was done and she was about to return to the hospital. Retha walks out of the restaurant waiting for public transport to pass. After waiting for a long time but no public transportation passed, then Retha decided to walk while waiting for public transportation to pass.
"Why does the road look so lonely today!" mumbling Retha.
Rethas hastened his pace. When he reached a place that looked very quiet he felt that someone was following him. He also accelerated his path.
Suddenly someone pulled Retha's hand. He saw two men with high stature. Rethah was shocked and very frightened. Drawn the hand from the grasp of the thugs earlier.
"Please let go of me, I must leave immediately my mother must have been waiting." Retha pleaded.
"Please wait a minute, miss, we can play games, right?" Said that thug.
"Please let me go." Retha.
At that moment Mrs Rani's car passed them. He saw a girl who was seduced by thugs.
"Sir Man can we stop first it looks like the girl needs help!" said the middle-aged woman.
"Good Mistress." Said the driver.
"Madamnya should remain in the car later if the time is safe you can just get out". Take the driver.
"Well save the girl quickly." Say again.
The driver went out and headed to Retha's place. There seemed to be a slight fight between the driver and the thugs. But after a long time finally the thug gave up and ran away. Mrs Rani got out of her car.
"Are you okay, son?" Ask
She saw the girl looking pale and her whole body was trembling. With all the rest of his strength, Retha answered.
"I'm fine Madam thank you for helping me". Answer Rethah
Rani is still looking at Retha. The girl looked deeper. There was a stroke of sadness in his eyes. What did the thug do, why did he look so sad? thought Rani.
"Aren't you the girl who worked at the restaurant?" Rani asks because she feels familiar with Retha's face.
Hearing that, Retha looked back. It seems he has found his memory back.
"Oh yes, ma'am, I'm a waitress at Arpege's restaurant". Reply Retha with a sweet smile.
"Don't call me Mistress call me Aunt Rani, I'd rather it." Rani said
"Okay Nyo. ehh aunt, thanks for helping me."
"What's your name, son?"
"I'm Retha Tan, again thank you Aunt for helping me for sure I will remember this, I'm sorry Tan."
"I'll drive you and this time I don't want you to turn me down, now get in the car." Rani said firmly because she knew for sure Retha would turn down her offer. Because it's night Rani doesn't want to risk Retha's life again.
After getting into the car, Rani and Ratha sit down together. Actually Retha felt bad because Rani was too good from earlier, but if she refused his offer, Rani would be disappointed.
"Where are we going to take you, Rethah?" Tanya Rani breaks Retha's daydream.
"We go to the hospital without looking at my brother." Reply Retha who still looks shocked and also afraid.
"Nights like this you still want to see your brother Retha, you shouldn't go home to see him in the morning". Ask Rani again.
"No Tan I promised him I'd see him today".
"Where is the hospital your brother's in?"
"In Nusa Bangsa Hospital". Answer Retha.
After a long time silence appeared. Both Retha and Rani just quietly enjoy the view of the city at night. It did not feel that the car they were riding in arrived in front of the hospital.
"Thank you Aunt for the help." Retha smiled displaying her neat rows of teeth.
"Sama-sama Retha, Aunt go home first huh?"
"Yes auntie be careful on the road." Answer Retha.
Retha rushes out of Rani's car. Rani's car drove away from the hospital.
Retha went to the hospital because she wanted to see her mother's condition.
The smile that had developed was now slowly disappearing. Given the kidney transplant costs that Retha has to pay. To date, he has not been able to get the money.
Retha went into the care room of her mother, seen her mother sleep asleep making Retha feel calm. Rethah sat beside her mother's bed.
At Rani's house, she just arrived at her house. She rushed into her room because she knew her husband was waiting for her because it was late at night.
"Sorry, I'm late." Rani said to a man who was sitting on the couch in his room.
