My dear Siomay

New Employee

Erna has rarely helped me because now she focuses on her studies. He got a scholarship, it's a pity to miss. Every day all my work is done by myself, from making Siomay dough to selling it. Unbearable fatigue, it seems like it is time to find a friend who can help me here.

"You really need to be helped by someone" Tio said.

"I'm going to put up this paper so people know I need someone to help me in this store" I just stick a piece of paper with a job opening.

"Then I went to the office first huh, my father was trying to shake up our company, so there were a lot of problems in the office and I couldn't leave my employees to solve it myself", Tio said as he left.

"Ok!", I'm busy myself.

I saw the paper in front of the store. People will immediately know that there is a vacancy here. I went straight in and prepared siomay also batagor to sell today.

The first buyer came in and ordered a batagor. I turn on the stove to fry the batagor that will be served. When it is cooked, I keep it on a plate and I cut it with scissors, after which I give peanut seasoning, I add a piece of cucumber to complete it. Batagor is ready to be served at the buyer's desk.

A girl walked into the store and asked, "Is there a job opening?".

"Yes", I answered briefly, inserting siomay into the pot.

"Can I submit a proposal?", the girl asked innocently.

"Of course, anyone can".

"But I don't have a cover letter and another identity".

"It's okay, it can follow".

I see new buyers coming in droves. Thank God after the incident with Brandon, my dear Siomay store so increased buyers. Because of that incident, people became curious and came here to eat Siomay themselves who they said was going viral.

"Now, can you help me?", I'm without being stale.

"Oh,i.iya", the girl nodded.

It seems like this girl is a good child, I see from her appearance that is not neko neko. She was well dressed and pretty clean.

"Please give this to table number five!", I while showing 2 plates siomay I have prepared. The girl deftly immediately picked up and gave the siomay to table number five. He also cleaned the table and tidied up the chairs the buyer had left behind. I watched everything he did while giving a judgment.

"So, here's someone to pay" the girl told me.

"Ok", I looked at the order note paper and calculated the amount of money to be paid.

"So 20 grand" I said with a smile.

The buyer immediately reached for the money and gave it to me.

"I want two mango juice, two serving siomay and three serving batagor, all spikes!", a customer ordered.

"What table?",tanyaku.

"Tell one".

"OK, wait for the order!".

"I'm siomay four servings!".

"Batagor two servings!".

Orders kept growing and the girl helped me a lot. It works fast and reliable. All orders can be delivered on time.

At lunch hour. Buyers are increasing.

"Whose name are you?", I asked on the sidelines of our work.

"Ani", the girl went to deliver the order.

Ani. I'll ask you the rest of the questions when we close the store.

"Mba, this store is open?", suddenly a young man asked.

"Yes, you can save the application first".

The young man gave her a paper application.

"Later we'll call again", I'll take the application map.

The young man also left.

The buyer comes again and so on. Ani was very helpful. I seem to have found someone who can help me, but later I want to ask the others in addition to my consideration.

In the afternoon, there were three applications that entered again. I keep all those applications, maybe in the future I need them.

Evening arrived, before I went home while I was sorted out I asked him to talk, we talked about my salary and also my work in the store. I forgot to ask her about her family too.

"Where do you live?", I asked Ani.

"I accept you to work here, but the cover letter you still have to make, I want to see your biodata".

"Yes, I brought it".

"How many brothers are you?".

"I'm an only child".

"So, who do you live with?".

"My mother lived alone, but I left it to a neighbor near the house".

"What's your mom hurting?".

"My mother has a heartache", she looks sad when she talks about her mother.

"Hope your mother can recover quickly".

"Yes, thanks,Bu".

"Don't call me mom, just call me Big Brother" I smiled.

"Now that we go home first, what do you want to ride?", I took my phone from my bag.

"Oh, I just want to walk because my house is not too far" Ani replied.

"Ok then see you tomorrow, be careful on the road already night, my taxi has come, first yes ", I waved at the car that just came.

We went back to each other for our own purposes. In the car, I looked at the view outside from the window, my mind glaring far away. I think a lot about my wedding, the tavern and my sister's sister. I accidentally saw a girl exactly like Ani, but soon I tepis.maybe I saw wrong, especially now it's night. Ani said that her house was close to work, where might it be.

I also got home. Aunt is asleep, Tumben is still at 8 pm already sleeping soundly. Maybe because Auntie's still sick. Now Bibi's condition is not like before, it's because of her ulcer, the aunt often feels stomach pain if late eating. Coupled with the thought of her son being brought by her ex-husband. Aunt was divorced when I was in prison. It made Auntie sad and began to get sick. Inner pain will have a major effect on the health of the body.

I put my body in bed. Cellphone's ringing. Tio called.

"Assalamu'alaikum!", I say hello

"Wa'alaikum greetings!", replied Tio.

"Have you come home?", I asked.

"From now on, our stock has plummeted and many have been released. I'm dizzy from before, I think you really want to make us give up".

"All will be well, calm down and don't panic".

"Eh, how was that in the store?".

"I seem to have gotten the right person to help me work, named Ani, she's an only child of a mother who suffers from heart disease. His house is also not far from the store, he is deft and his work is good".

"Good then. Now I want to talk about our wedding date, if it's October 25 what?", Tio asked my opinion.

"That's two months away, huh?why is it October 25th?".

"It's my birthday".

"Oh, yeah", when I remember what happened on Tio's birthday, I get goosebumps.

"How about not on that date, October 28th only, all commemorating the Youth Pledge".

"Good idea, it will be interesting because it will be our historic day and we call the Oath of Tio to marry Isna".

"May I take no swearing he..he...".

"So deal is October 28th".

"We got married in KUA, don't have to rame".

"But I want to see you be my queen and dress up pretty while standing next to me. The matter of marriage anyway I take care, you just sit sweet enough".

"Ok, then".

Suddenly there was another call from an unknown number.

"Yes, there's been another call, and I'll call you back".

I'll pick up that call soon

"Hallo, this is my dear Siomay shop owner?".

"Yes, what's the matter?".
