My boss turned out to be my Background Dad
Chapter 2's
...After wrapping the last customer's groceries at the counter, Ayu sat exhaustedly in a chair reserved exclusively for employees....
...Ayu now works at the minimarket as a cashier. Although his salary is quite small, because he is only a part-time worker, Ayu remains grateful for having a job and being able to get a wage....
...Slowly, he could raise money for his mother's medical expenses. Ayu was very hopeful, her mother could survive until that moment arrived....
...Seeing no other customers, Ayu picks up the phone to make a call on her mother....
..."Hello!" A gentle voice of a woman was heard from across the street....
...Ayu revealed a smile after hearing her mother's voice. "Hello, Mom! It's Ayu."...
..."Yes, Son! What's up?"...
..."Mom how's it going? Have you eaten? How was the examination today, what did the doctor say?" Ayu asked non-stop....
...There's a soft laugh across there. ...
..."Which one should I answer first, your questions are a lot."...
...Ayu also suddenly realized that she had asked a lot....
..."Forgive Ayu, Mom! Ayu was only a little worried because there was no one to keep mom in the hospital right now."...
..."There's still a nurse looking after mom here. So you don't have to worry."...
..."But Ayu still remains worried because she does not see for herself how the mother is doing."...
...The other side looks helpless....
..."Alright. To make the beautiful mother's daughter calm down, I'll tell you everything about how mom is doing now." Hapsari said slowly and clearly. "Mother has eaten, the doctor has also examined the mother. The doctor said, there is nothing wrong, so you do not have to worry. Hows it? You're satisfied to hear it."...
..."Yep! I'm glad to hear you're okay now." Ayu smiled happily with teary eyes....
...Ayu knew from her mother's voice that she wasn't lying. Her mother is really fine....
...Upon hearing news of her mother fainting three days ago and being rushed to the hospital, how anxious Ayu was at the time. ...
...He felt like he had lost the whole world. ...
...Arriving at the hospital, Ayu can only see her mother's condition from behind a glass door....
...How his mother wore an oxygen mask and was examined by the doctors. ...
...Every minute and every second was like torture to him. Because Ayu could not help anything to ease the pain that her mother was suffering....
...Ayu hated herself for being useless. Why should she allow her mother to go to work and why she did not pay attention to her mother's condition at the time....
...Now his mother is sick of exhaustion. ...
...Ayu also begins to hate her real father. He was dead but always thought to be alive by his mother. Every day for twenty years his mother lived a life filled with pain from losing her father. Never once did his mother stop thinking about the man, always waiting for his return day and night. The man would never return to his mother. Because he was dead, and his mother never accepted that fact....
...Ayu only wants her mother to live a happy and healthy life without thinking about anything....
...When the doctor came out and informed her that her mother had passed the critical period. How relieved and grateful Ayu was at that time....
...He even promised himself to always take care of his mother and would never let anything else happen to his mother. Ayu will do anything to make her mother recover and get back to health. Even if he had to cross the sea of fire. ...
..."Hello, Son! You're busy? Is mom bothering you?" Sari asked because she didn't hear any more voices from her daughter....
...Hearing a call from her mother, Ayu answered quickly. ...
..."Hello, Mom! Ayu is not busy. Now Ayu is a cashier at the minimarket. Coincidentally there are no customers, so Ayu took the time to call mom."...
...The other side was silent for a moment, before saying, "You don't get too tired, son. Keep health. Don't get sick like your mother."...
..."Yes, Madam. Ayu will carry out well mother's advice," Ayu replied....
...Ayu did not mean to tell her mother that after this she would work elsewhere. Ayu did not want to make her mother worry and mind a lot....
...After a few minutes of chatting, Ayu closed the call because another customer was coming. ...
...Ayu also did not want to disturb her mother's rest....
...***...
...Orange light is seen shining on the horizon signifying the arrival of dusk. ...
...The day changed night....
...The gas station looks full of cars lining up to refuel....
...Ayu who was wearing SPBU officer uniform deftly refueled to every car that arrived took turns....
...It's her first day working as a gas station attendant. Salary here is a little bigger than in the minimarket. Maybe because the work until late at night and very tiring, because you have to stand for hours....
...It's been some time Ayu worked while standing up. His feet are starting to grow....
...A black Audi car takes a refueling turn. Ayu swiftly did her job while occasionally glancing at the dark side glass of the car, making her unable to see the driver who was in the car. However, Ayu did not think much. There are some customers who are reluctant to lower the window of his car....
...After Ayu finished filling up, the car window glass was lowered slightly. Then, a sleek looking hand with strong joints stretched out from inside the car, handing over the money....
..."Just take the change." A low-pitched man's voice sounded from inside the car....
...Ayu was stunned to take the money, when she regained consciousness, the car had already passed away....
...Looking at the change of money worth his day's wages, Ayu didn't know whether to be happy or laugh at herself. The money he earned with great difficulty was given away for free by unknown people....
...Perhaps this is the gap between a person who has a lot of money and a person who desperately needs money like himself. Whoever was in the car, Ayu was very grateful to that person....
...When the time shows at eleven p.m., Ayu prepares to go home and change shifts with other officers....
...To save money, Ayu decides to go home on foot. Because the romance of the campus is not too far from here....
...Halfway Ayu walked on foot, he felt his legs start to ache. So Ayu sat on the sidewalk and massaged her legs for a bit. While looking around the quiet road, there were only a few cars and motorcycles passing by, because the time was already midnight....
...If in ordinary time, Ayu might feel afraid because she has to go home alone at night. But now Ayu desperately needs money, he still chose to work there even though he knew what time to go home. I hope nothing happens to her when I walk home....
...After his feet felt better, Ayu stood up and continued walking. He did not see a car following him from behind. ...
...If Ayu sees it, she might be surprised because it is the same car that belonged to the person who gave her change at the gas station where she works....
...The man in the car had a handsome face and deep eyes, looking very young. His gaze always followed in which direction Ayu went....
...Upon seeing Ayu enter the campus gate, the man averted his gaze and sped away....
