The Chastity of Alesha

Dahlia Resto & Catering

That night, Mr. Salman had a conversation with Mrs Debby in the room.

"Ma, tomorrow Papa's coming back to America. Papa can't linger here because Papa has to take care of the restaurant there. Does Mama want to come?" ask Mr. Salman.

"Sorry Pa, Mama can't come. If Mama's coming, who's gonna take care of Anggara Corporation Pa?"

"Let Raffi take care of him Ma. After all, Papa has given the company to Raffi. If Mama stays here, who's gonna take care of Papa in America? Papa needs Mama!" mister Salman cried while holding the hand of Ms. Debby.

For two months, Mr. Salman took care of his own needs in America without Mr. Debby. Because Bu Debby insisted on staying in Jakarta to take care of Anggara Corporation.

"But Mama does not accept that Raffi prefers the village woman than Mama, her own birth mother Pa. Mama's heartache Pa"

"It's Ma, let Raffi choose his own way of life! Raffi is a grown-up Ma. We'll just bless them"

"No Pa! Mama is sure someday Raffi will definitely leave the woman and return with Mama. Raffi won't stand to suffer for long out there Pa"

"But Papa is not sure Ma. Raffi is very intelligent. And he loved his wife and son very much. He can certainly stand on his own feet without our help. Papa's gonna bet..."

"Okay Pa, we bet. Within six months from now if Raffi can survive, Mama will bless them"

"As for Mama. But remember Mama's promise, six months from now if Raffi can prove that he can stand on his own feet, Mama has to bless them"

"All right Pa"

The next day, Mr. Salman returned to America alone without Mrs Debby. Ms. Debby just drove Mr. Salman to the airport.

Raffi, Esha and Bu Dahlia are very grateful to Allah because the construction of their restaurant for two months is running smoothly. The restaurant is not very big but is located in a very strategic place.

The dining area is also diverse, for indoor ones there are those who use table chairs and there are those who are lesehan. And for the outdoor ones there are those who use umbrellas, there are also those in the gazebo. The restaurant was named "Dahlia Resto & Catering" at Esha's suggestion. Raffi and Bu Dahlia agreed.

In addition to Bu Dahlia as the head chef, Raffi also recruited restaurant staff who were reliable and deft, ranging from chefs, waitresses, janitors, cashiers, and others, until the parking lot so that the service provided to customers will be more optimal.

Six months later...

Ms. Debby was worried because until now Raffi did not return to his house. He was so stressed thinking about Raffi. Plus a job in the office that drains his energy and mind. Lately Miss Debby has had headaches.

One morning as soon as she opened her eyes, Ms. Debby felt a great headache and the whole world was spinning. The effect of that swirling feeling in the head made him nauseous. Ms. Debby refrained from vomiting in bed. He closed his eyes repeatedly and opened them again.

Keep turning!

With all her strength and withstanding the headache and nausea in the throat, Ms Debby grabbed a phone that was not far from reach. He also typed a message to Imron to help him immediately.

Not long after, Mr. Imron ran to Bu Debby in his room.

"Mrs why? What's that sick?"

Mr. Imron panicked when he saw Ms. Debby shutting her head with a pillow to endure the pain.

"My head hurts so much... Quickly take me to the hospital!"

"Good Mistress"

Mr. Imron also called Bi Nanik and immediately ran Ms. Debby to Pondok Indah Hospital. On the way, Miss Debby collapsed. A lot of sweat came out of his body even though the car was air-conditioned. Mr. Imron and Bi Nanik are getting panicked. Then Bi Nanik contacted Mr. Salman.

Tut's... Tut's... Tut. (connecting).

Salman: "Hallo what's wrong Bi?"

Nanik: "Hallo Mr. Salman, Mr. Debby passed out Mr. and we were on our way to the hospital"

Salman: "What? Why did Debby faint?"

Nanik: "I don't know Sir either. Mr. Imron said that he woke up suddenly Madam had a headache and asked to be taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital Madam passed out Mr"

Salman: "Yes, I will fly to Jakarta soon"

Mr. Salman immediately booked a ticket to return to Jakarta.

Arriving at the hospital, Mr. Imron and Bi Nanik immediately took Ms. Debby to the IGD room. The doctor immediately checked on Ms. Debby. Doctors diagnosed Ms Debby with acute vertigo and she had to bedrest in the hospital.
