My Love is Blocked by the Holy Promise

Chapters. 77. So driver

(POV) Edis

"So like this, Dewanta, your former employee named Edi, proposed to be a driver at my restaurant. I want to ask you, when Edi works in your garden, if he works well, I need to ask your opinion to decide whether to accept him or reject him" Galih told Mr. Dewanta by phone. I just kept quiet with a little tense waiting for Mr. Dewanta's comments about how my performance while working on Mr. Dewanta. If I think during my time working in the garden of Mr. Dewanta, I always work well, as I recall, I never did anything that harmed Mr. Dewanta's efforts. But I don't know what Mr. Dewanta thinks of me.

"If while working for me anyway, Edi was diligent, always working seriously, his loyalty was also good, the person was honest and trustworthy. If I think if you really need a driver, it's better to be accepted. Now finding someone to trust is half dead. Many entrepreneurs like us are bankrupt because they have traitorous employees. Actually I also love to lose workers like Edi, but I also can not be selfish, who knows in the city of sustenance he is better, thankfully met his mate," said Mr. Dewanta while chuckling.

After feeling there is nothing important to talk about, Galih ended his call to Mr. Dewanta with greetings.

"Okey Edi, because you're a former employee of Mr. Dewanta so I asked him about your performance. Because we both know, currently many bad people around us roam around pretending to be who is it or he is disguised, so a maid, so AC repairman, so garbage transporter and so forth. So we must be careful to include new people in the circle of our lives. But after knowing your performance on Dewanta I decided to accept me as a restaurant driver. Now you see the draft of the contract. If you agree with the draft contract then please sign it. But do not forget to look at your nominal salary, do you agree, if you do not agree we will talk back to reach consensus.

"Thank you sir for accepting me as the restaurant driver you have, I completely agree with the contents of this contract," I said while signing the draft contract that Mr. Galih gave to me and handed it back to Mr. Galih.

"Oh yes Edi, after this you go home where, do you already have a place to live in this city" asked Mr. Galih. Of course I answered not according to the facts. The plan is I will look for a contract after I am positively accepted for work, while for tonight and the following days before I get a job.

"If you don't have a place to live yet, there happens to be an empty room in this restaurant. It is located next to the warehouse.you can occupy it for free but all of you keep this restaurant, said Mr. Galih. I also received Mr. Galih's offer to occupy a room beside the food warehouse. I am very grateful, besides having a job I also have a free place to stay. Mr. Galih told me to bring my things into the room. I did as ordered by Mr. Galih.

When the door to my room opened it turned out to be quite spacious, there was a bed. Cancel, there's a closet and hangers. I also immediately put the clothes I brought from the village using a backpack. After that I went back to see Mr. Galih in his room. Mr. Galih asked to take me home by using a restaurant car while testing my driving ability.

I started driving the car at moderate speed through a busy highway smoothly.

"Have you memorized the ins and outs of the streets in this town" asked Galih. I also answered honestly if I only memorized the highway or the big streets. While the shortcut or the mouse path I have absolutely no memorization.

"You should also memorize the shortcuts in this city. Because your job is to deliver customer orders. If you know the shortcut then the food ordered by the customer will arrive faster. This will affect the quality of our restaurant service" explained Mr. Galih.

"Dear afternoon, meet this new driver Edi at our restaurant. Edi introduced this to my wife Fira," Galih sir introduced me to the beautiful woman who turned out to be Fira's mother Galih sir's wife.

"Let's go in and eat at our house. You must not have eaten, right mas," said Ms. Fira while holding her husband's hand in a friendly manner. I followed them behind him.

Now the three of us sit down at the table to eat. Bu Fira was busy moving rice, vegetables and side dishes into Pak Galih's plate and also his own plate.

"Let's Edi at eating rice and his friends, there are side dishes, there are vegetables, I was lazy to eat in the barn, so I did not invite you to eat in the barracks, not stingy, but I'd rather eat my wife's cooking" Galih said. I also began to move my pet food and then stared at the delicious food in front of me.

After eating, I went straight back to the restaurant. Until the restaurant turned out the restaurant was almost closed. The employees are busy cleaning kitchen utensils and also table chairs and floors.

"Yes a new employee here, introduce my name Rio" a man my age greeted kindly.

"I'm a new driver, part of the order. My name is Edi, I'm from the village, I don't have a place to live so Mr. Galih told me to occupy the room next to the food warehouse" I explained as I wiped the dining table clean.

"Thank God that someone sleeps at the restaurant, so if we leave in the morning not alone here" Rio replied. After the restaurant employees all went home, I immediately cleaned my body in the bathroom, then laid my body in a soft bed.

I want to feel like I called Juita and reported that I have arrived and accepted the work of the restaurant Mr. Galih. I am very grateful to him, because it is his blessing that I can now work in the city with a salary double than when I worked in the garden. After I saw the clock on my hand phone turned out to be eleven o'clock in the evening. I should call Juita at dawn tomorrow, while I hold my kangen first. Patience.patience. Because I do not know yet whether Juita has really changed, anyway not necessarily also Juita will accept my love. You see, I'm just a poor guy, I know for myself how Juita tastes, he just likes rich people. But it was then, now who knows how it changed.

I've changed my sleeping position several times but I didn't sleep. Finally I got up, I stepped towards the bathroom to take ablution. After that I tried the night prayer to ask for peace of heart, and asked God to be given the best soul mate for me, whoever it is. Thank goodness I felt calm after I finished praying. I put my body back on the bed.
