*k*ling...
Roses entered his bakery with nothing to deny today he felt very sad and confused.
How will he explain to his employees if the money used for shopping for basic goods runs out?
Roses can see the bakery that is now crowded with buyers, even the bread is almost sold out even though it is still morning.
*A*I have to be excited...
Roses reassured themselves, he became excited again to see his employees who were busy serving buyers, maybe this is the help that came for him..
Soon the rose went straight into the kitchen and made a cake with the remaining ingredients.
Today the cake shop is very crowded buyers, even the ingredients in the kitchen until it runs out are not left, even though as long as he sells has never been a store until crowded like this.
If the attention of the buyers who come to his store is also not a subscription, many of them look like office employees, but Roses do not bother, he still grateful for what he has got.
Until the afternoon, Roses finally closed the store early because all the bread was sold out, he also knew for sure the employees were very tired, also because the bread ingredients were no longer in stock.
Rose and her two employees were sitting together in the room.
"Em.excuse me ma'am, I want to say something.", Sari employees look hesitant in front of her, girls the age of Anya was her employee and friend Anya who worked with Roses not long ago.
"What's the matter.Say it", Rose fixed her seat, she could see Sari's anger.
"Em like this ma'am.I want to resign", he said by bowing his head.
Of course Rose was surprised, during this performance Sari is very good, she is also a good girl and always looks cheerful, but why did she suddenly resign?
"Why..? don't you feel at home working with me? or is your salary less?"
"Ti.no ma'am.I am very happy to work here, I am also comfortable working with Mom and Anya"
"Then what's the salary problem..?"
Seen as the hesitant Sari replied, the girl squeezed her fingers, and the Rose now knew the exact reason.
"I'm sorry ma'am.I'm really happy to work here, my salary here is also very enough for me, but lately my father is often sick, and it may also cost a lot, and..."
Sari did not continue his words, Rose knew maybe the salary of his shop was less if for hospital purposes.
"It's okay.I won't force you to keep working with me, but have you got a new job..?"
"I was offered a job so OG (office girl) in one of the companies by my friend)", he replied.
"Good, I'm relieved that if you've got a job with a bigger salary, you're hoping to be at home in your new workplace"
Rose is sincere, he is not angry to know his employees who choose other jobs for reasons of salary, he knows the salary from his shop is very mediocre, and the needs of someone must vary in size.
"It's a little severance from me, hopefully it can help your father's hospital costs a little bit"
Roses give some money from the proceeds of his sale now, capital problems later he will think again.
"But ma'am, I got a paycheck a few days ago, my job was not too long ago"
"It's okay.I'm sincere, I pray your father gets well soon", Rose smiled warmly.
He just wants to help his employees who are short of money for the treatment of his father, he is happy to have employees who are very fond of both parents.
As an orphan Rose has never felt the affection of a father or mother, and she feels touched when she learns Sari is fighting for her parents.
The room was really nice, they hugged each other trying to make Sari leave which they considered as their own family.
After that Rose allowed Sari to go home first, now only Anya employees left in her bakery.
"For this month you please just shop for this material dulua yes.", Rose gives a shopping list that he has compiled earlier.
"Why so few ma'am.Isn't the store getting crowded?"
Anya was astonished, even before the bakery was crowded every shopping there would definitely be a lot of materials purchased, but this time the amount of materials to be purchased was even less than half the usual amount.
"It's nothing, but the money I used for household purposes first, because there are urgent interests.please you shop on the list first"
The rose lied, she could not have told Anya about the money her father-in-law had taken.
"Mba don't lie to me", suddenly Anya's style of speech is different.
(*M*ba is a term for a sister that is common to Javanese people, as well as a sister)
It is true that when they are both and in a state not work Anya will call the Rose with the title mba, they already consider each other brothers.
"I know you're in trouble, the puffy eyes of the mba, and the blue-blue arms of the Rose.."
The rose looked at Anya who was also looking at her softly, The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, The confused rose had to answer what.
Though he had covered the bruise on his arm due to some blows from his father-in-law using long sleeves, but Anya could see it when the Rose tote his clothes when making the cake earlier.
"Mba can tell me the same story.I'm a sister mba.", He smiled warmly and hugged the Rose.
Getting such treatment , without being able to stem the sadness in his heart Roses immediately cry in Anya's arms.
All the sadness that he had endured all this time without any impingement that he could pour out was gone.
Little by little Rose told her the problem from her infertility to her problems with her in-laws this time.
He cried a hiccup in Anya's arms, and Anya just silently listened while stroking the Rose's back with affection.
However, he also felt sad, during this time the Rose had helped him and helped him, he could feel how deep the sadness in the Rose's heart.
As children who both grow up without parents for shelter and shelter, they always support each other.
Once in a sense the Rose looked calm Anya remembered something, and she had to make sure of that.
"Mba..can I see another body of mba.?", Rose still hesitates, she is like considering Anya's request.
"I beg mba.", seeing Anya who looked at him like that was forced to make Roses nod, she did not want to make Anya misunderstand because she did not believe it.
"God!!", He was so surprised when the Rose took off his shirt, he could see bruises everywhere.
There are bruises that are already purplish brown that indicate old wounds, there are also blue ones that indicate new wounds, not even a few scratches on the body of the Rose.
"Mba.why can this be.",Annya cried seeing the many wounds on the body of the Rose, she did not expect her brother would be treated like that by his own in-laws.
"Mba has to report all that to the police mba..!"
Hearing that Rose rolled her head, she didn't want that to happen..!
