Andin rubbed his sweat. Every weekend the cafe where he works is always crowded with visitors. He felt very tired.
Just now that he's resting has been asked to serve guests again. Andin had to stand up again. Without him noticing tears coming out of the corner of his eyes.
Andin recalled that when he told his foster father that if Grecia might have been his flesh and blood, the man was not surprised and would not know.
"If Grecia is my flesh and blood, what do you want? Want to demand money for his needs?" ask Antoni, Andin's foster father.
"I don't just want to charge. Who especially wants recognition if Grecia has a father. Not a child who does not know his origin. That's all it is."
"Everyone knows your son is Alex's father. Why do you still need my confession. Anyway I'm not sure if that kid's my flesh and blood. He must be the son of many men. Thankful that I took your virginity away from the street men who often serve you!" Antonio spoke without burden.
The words of his adoptive father who accused Andin of sleeping with street men made him angry and humiliated. Andin stood up and slapped his father on the cheek. It was with his mother who had just come from the market. The woman was shocked to see her husband slapped. Andin's foster mother was astonished and shocked. He approached the two men.
"What is this Andin? Why did you slap your father's cheek?" ask Mother.
Andin took a deep breath. Don't know what to say. However, her mother loved herself like her own child. He could not bear to disappoint the middle-aged woman.
"She asked me to recognize Grecia as a biological child, because her husband would not admit to being her son after DNA test results stated she was not Alex's flesh blood. There must be a lot of men who have been fucking so Andin doesn't know who the biological father of his daughter is. And have me acknowledge as Grecia's biological father." Antonio explained to his wife in a soft voice for her to defend him.
"Andin, what's on your mind right now. Didn't expect you to be like this. If you like to sleep with other men, don't ask your father to admit your son! I don't want to see you anymore. Go, before I do anything else!" His adoptive mother kicked Andin out of his house.
When Andin wanted to explain, Antonio asked his wife to come in and not have to listen to the woman's words. Andin was pushed by Antonio to get out of the house.
Andin wiped his tears. He cannot be sad. It's all her fault. Life goes on. As Alex said, rather than him dissolving into the past, it is better to look to the future. He wants to change, who knows his fate also changes better.
All eyes were looking at Andin. The cafe manager came and scolded him.
"What are you thinking? Carrying food like this can fall. You have to replace all this. Your salary's cut!" said the man with Arogan.
"Sorry, Sir. I don't see any legs" Andin said, trying to defend himself.
"Eat he had those eyes used! Don't underestimate walking" said the man still in a loud voice.
"I don't think it's the fault of this mom entirely. Your customers are wrong too. Why are the legs getting out of the table?" say that someone.
Andin and his manager looked at the man. The woman was shocked to see who was talking.
"Rinza ...!" andin said slowly to see who the man who defended him was.
"I'll compensate for all the losses. And you, should apologize to this mother too. Don't just shut up. Your legs can't be pulled. Why is it so easy!" Reno pointed at that customer. He just kept quiet, seemed to feel guilty but ashamed to admit.
Yuni who was beside Reno took out red money, hundreds of thousands and handed it to that manager.
"It's money to make up for all the losses this Mbak did. If less, you can call the number listed on this business card. Do not be shy about subordinates. You should look first, and research before getting angry. I could have just run your cafe, made it even more famous," Yuni said.
After saying that he took Reno away. Actually Yuni was not ready to meet Andin, but she also could not see the woman being treated arbitrarily. He and Reno had planned to eat at the cafe. Just entered they both presented this view.
