PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 13

Throughout work Zahra seemed unfocused. Zahra even delivered the wrong orders several times. Zahra even accidentally spilled the drink on the customer who was immediately angry until Zahra and the customer argued in front of many people. It caught the attention of Santoso who then immediately called Zahra to face his room.

“You know your mistake Zahra?”

Santoso asked in a cold tone and a very flat look at Zahra. The man looked like he was so angry at Zahra that today many times made mistakes while working.

“Pak, I accidentally.”

“Salah gave the order also accidentally? Then spilling drinks and then quarreling with customers? Was that unintentional too?”

Zahra lowered her head. His mind was completely out of step with his body right now.

“Zahra if you are tired of working here you can come out well. Do not give a bad impression on employees here.” Santoso said firmly.

Zahra quickly raised her head. Zahra did not even think of wanting to get out of the job she had long been in. What else Zahra also knows a lot of his good friends at the restaurant.

“I told you I was accidentally. I'm not a bit bored working here.”

“Then why the end of this you often make mistakes. I think it's possible now it's time you stop working after the wedding maybe.”

Zahra shook her head.

“I never thought like that. And also I don't feel like I made a mistake before this.”

Zahra was brave. Especially if Zahra feels as innocent as she is now.

“I'm more powerful here Zahra.”

“But that doesn't mean you can care for employees like me.”

Santoso. Zahra dared to raise her head to look at him with a gaze that did not in the slightest imply fear.

Actually Santoso wanted to use the opportunity to sack Zahran but if it had been met with a crushing resistance Santoso was also confused. Plus Zahra was so smart talking in defense of herself.

“Sorry before sir, we are equally lucky here. Rich I need my father's money and my father needs my energy. I'm just an ordinary human being who doesn't escape mistakes.”

Santoso. That's why I can't forget Zahra. Zahra was so brave to make her who was no longer single was curious.

“I am your boss Zahra. Can you appreciate that?”

Zahra silence. I don't know why his frustration is peaking now. Zahra almost forgot who Santoso was.

“I'm sorry sir.” He sighed and then bowed his head.

“Already. Once again you are debating customers here, please you find another job.” Santoso Tegas.

Zahra closed both her eyes. Zahra doesn't want to stop working now.

“Please you out.”

“Ya sir. Again I am sorry. I excuse.”

Zahra got up from her seat in front of Santoso's desk and walked out with slow steps.

“How?”

Zahra scowled at Tina who was waiting in front of Santoso's room. Zahra did not expect that the fruits of her quarrel with Faza last night were so bad at her job.

“Ra, you're not grounded?”

Zahra clucking. What kind of question is that?

“What am I doing until you think like that too? I was just defending myself because that auntie insulted me.”

Tina sighed softly. Zahra is very stubborn. Zahra won't budge if she feels right.

“But you know for yourself our position here as waitrees. Customer satisfaction is an important value for this restaurant Ra.”

“Ra..”

The gentle touch of Tina's hand made Zahra turn her head. Zahra had never received a direct reprimand from Santoso before.

“You again have a problem?”

Zahra needed a friend to pour out all her heart now. But Zahra also couldn't possibly tell about her quarrel with Faza last night with Tina. Because telling the problem of household to others even though it is your own friend is the same as telling disgrace.

“I'm not papa kok Tin. Maybe just lack of focus because yeah... Less break.”

Zahra's words made Tina's smile expand.

“Iya deh yes.. Who is married.. Yes yes.”

Zahra. What is his lack of rest by getting married?

“Maybe now you have to get to bed earlier Ra. Or after returning home from work you immediately rest while waiting for your Faza mas to go home.”

Zahra was getting clueless. Sleeping while waiting for Faza to come home is the same as looking for trouble. Faza is not the type of person who is patient when waiting at the door.

“You are not very clear Tina. I don't know what you mean.”

Tina laughs.

“OK okay.. Maybe because you are emotional so your brain does not arrive. Mending now we change clothes and go home. Our working hours are up.”

Zahra raised her left hand to check the time of the light blue watch she was wearing.

“Mas Faza has finished not yet.” Inner Zahra.

Tina clucked.

“Malah dumbfounded again. Come.”

Tina embraces Zahra's shoulders, which are not as tall as she is, taking her step towards the dressing room.

Finished changing his clothes, Zahra was still silent. His thoughts were now centered on Faza. Zahra regretted leaving her phone behind this morning. His intention of wanting to avoid Faza from being calm actually backfired himself for him. Zahra was not calm until she did not focus on working.

Tina who saw Zahra looked uninspired since coming this morning understood. Had Faza contacted him to ask Zahra. Obviously, both of them have problems. But Tina didn't want to interfere too much. What else if it is a household issue.

“Ra, want me to anterin go home or wait for your husband?” Tanya Tina who was sitting on her bike.

Zahra looked at Tina listlessly. Without answering Tina Zahra's question straight up to Tina's arm and then hugged Tina's waist tightly.

True not as usual. I thought Tina while sighing.

Tina began to advance her meticulous motor with Zahra who was so attached to Tina's back like a Kindergarten child who hugged her mother tightly. Tina who understood her friend was not well was just silent and let it go.

In a short time Zahra and Tina reached the humble courtyard of Zahra's house. Zahra immediately came down from Tina's arms.

“Still Yes Tin. You heart heart the way.”

“You didn't want me to stop by first?” Tina Tanya tried to divert for a moment Zahra's thoughts.

Zahra shook her head.

“I want to go straight to bed.” Said.

Tina belittles. His words were not really serious. Tina was just kidding.

“I'm in. Yes Tin.. Bye..”

With a gontai Zahra step towards the main door of his house. Put the key in the hole, turn it around, then push the brown-painted door open and Zahra into it.

“Home problems do drain the heart and mind.” Tina muttered softly before passing from the grounds of Zahra's humble house.
