I worked two weeks at Rendy's restaurant. I learned a lot of new things and it turns out that the staff here are really good for me. There were some minor disputes between employees, but it was quickly resolved.
Today is the time for salary distribution, even though I only worked for two weeks, but my salary is time to be paid along with other employees. It feels good to accept my hard work that is not yet intact, my first salary I want to use to buy all the needs of mother.
I buy fruits, vegetables, healthy snacks for mom, as well as medicines that mom needs. Mother refused to go out to eat because she thought the money should be saved and used to buy as needed.
"Mother, really don't want to eat well outside the house? I still have enough money." I persuaded mom again.
"You need to eat out, at home the same. The important thing is to eat with whom, not where. Just eat the same you mommy's already smart." I hugged my mother, I knew she was just holding me back from spending too much money.
"Mom, I just found out that mom's job isn't as easy as I explained. I find a lot of obstacles, especially from customers who complain. I'm almost crying overwhelmed with customers who rese bu." I told my mother a little, feeling the weight of the struggle of mother all this time.
"That's how it works. In every aspect of our lives there must be something called obstacles and trials. We have to be strong to deal with it and be sure there's a way out." Mother's advice always makes my heart cool, like sitting under a shady tree with a breeze.
"Mom, later if Lia payday again, I want ya Lia take a walk, is bosen ma'am at home continue." I try to take my mother for a walk so that she does not get bored continuously in the house. During this time the mother only went out if she had to go to the hospital for therapy.
"Do it, I'm happy here. Do you know why you make a flower garden behind the house? Yes it is the ideals of the mother, if it is old and can not go anywhere else, so mother can heal by looking at the flowers in the garden." True indeed, all this time I often see the mother looks a little fresh and happy to be in the flower garden every morning and evening.
"Well, if you don't want to go for a walk, what do you want?" I really want my mom to be happy by meeting all her needs.
"There's nothing but a happy mother's son."
"Ah mother... Always has..." We also got lost in jokes and laughter. It feels like this opportunity and moment must be repeated so that my mother and I have sweet memories and can continue to be remembered for a lifetime.
But it felt that the calm did not last long, because two months later the mother was sick again. His body had a high fever, he was almost unconscious. Several times I tried to contact Rendy who was out of town for a workshop, but in vain and no answer.
"Mba, shouldn't you call an ambulance? I'll ask the next-door neighbor to help you pick up mom later." Emi helped me give my mother a hand.
I panicked a lot, tried several times to call the ambulance number but the connection was busy. I finally decided to call Beby for help. In fact, for several months I have very rarely responded to calls and messages from him. But for mom's sake, I was willing to brush off my ego.
Before long Beby came and helped by some of my neighbors, mother then lifted into the car. I sat in front beside Beby, while Emi was sitting behind my head.
"What's going on? Why is mommy like this?" The question I first heard made me confused as well, because my mother was suddenly unconscious.
"Work? Lia, you work?" Beby was surprised.
"Yes I work at Rendy's restaurant. As soon as I got home, I fainted." Suddenly my tears broke, my tears just dripped.
"It's quiet, we'll be in the hospital soon." Beby clasped my finger to please me.
Shortly after we arrived at the hospital, my mother went straight into the IGD room. While Beby takes care of all the administrative matters with me. Ms. Emi is ready to take care of the mother and is always on the mother's side.
The time is 2pm, and we are still waiting for the results of the doctor's observation and laboratory results. I saw Beby bring me a packet of rice, mineral water and a glass of coffee from a pretty famous shop.
He gave it to Emi who looked sleepy and tired. Bu Emi seems happy because he was noticed and treated well by Beby. Beby then approached me while giving the same food as Ms. Emi.
"You should eat, this good coffee can help you stay awake." Then he sat next to me.
I was hungry and tired, and I opened the food and ate it.
"The fried rice is delicious, thank you for nolongin me. I'm taking care of you again." I did feel bad for her, but if it wasn't Beby who else could I ask for help.
"You take it easy, don't be too stiff, I'm still your boyfriend so I can still help you and always be close to you." Beby smiled while saying that.
"Yes, but some time ago I was angry with you, so I didn't feel good at night to take care of you." I regretted not being kind to her at that time.
"It's ok. By the way, do you really work at Rendy's restaurant? Since when? I never knew ya."
"It's only been about 2 months anyway, sorry yes I haven't had time to tell you because we're still fighting." I hesitated a bit to say it, I was afraid that the atmosphere tonight would be awkward.
"Who feels quarreling is who, you are the only time we quarrel. I'm a regular guy, I just feel since that day you're getting away. It turns out that you're busy working at Rendy's place." I was silent for a moment when I actually worked at Rendy's place but somehow it felt like I was having an affair with Rendy.
Or am I really having an affair with Rendy? Because on the first day I worked with him we did things we shouldn't have done.
