Widow Sama The Duda

Assistant chef

It's Laila's last day of the night shift. An irregular week-long sleep schedule made Laila's head dizzy. This afternoon Laila asks Kayla to take care of Hasna because she wants to take a nap.

When she wakes up, Laila realizes that Hasna and Kayla are going to school tomorrow. There's no preparation at all. Laila quickly contacted Rena. Ask to be escorted to look for uniforms and school supplies for his two nephews.

"New kok now anyway?" ask Rena.

"I forgot Ren," Laila replied.

Yeah, Rena's very understanding. Their age is not yet the time to think about children's school affairs. So it's only natural that Laila forgot to have to prepare for all that. Not like mothers in general. They prepared all that a week ago.

"Ren, find a cheap one. Kamy know a cheap store, don't you?" ask Laila.

"I don't even know what an expensive store is" Rena replied lightly.

Laila was happy when she made a friend with him. They're the same age. Just thought about not getting married, then suddenly wanted to get married. The thought of getting married suddenly disappeared.

They are both traumatized by the marriage in their families. Laila is scared when the shadow of the Deri household with Yanti, while Rena is afraid when she sees the divorce of her parents. Yes, her father Rena is being sued for divorce after being caught cheating by her mother. Even Rena herself was a witness to the affair.

At the age of Rena who was in high school, Rena had to witness her father with other women in a hotel. Worse, the woman was still very young. Maybe his age is not much different from her.

Ah, Rena was always angry, scared, disappointed, hated her father. All feelings of unity dominate his emotions. Makes Rena hate weddings. Until Rena decided to spend all her time to make money and be happy. And according to Rena, happiness is not necessary with men with the status of a husband.

Throughout her uniform and school supplies shopping journey, Rena continues to tell stories about her life experiences. Vice versa. Even going to the market is fun for both of them.

"Where else?" ask Rena.

"Jajan bakso first yu!" bring Laila.

"Wrapped yes! Eat at your house. Pity the children late in waiting," said Rena.

Laila smiled happily. Finally, Laila really did not choose the wrong friend. Rena not only cares about her but also cares about her two nephews.

"Ren, thank you!" laila.

"Eh, I thank you. You bought baso. Wages are still daily. Belagu is indeed this child," said Rena while laughing.

Laila laughed too. They have only known each other for two weeks, but they are very familiar. Makes Laila feel at home in her new place. Not only with Laila, Rena can familiarize herself with Hasna and Kayla. Both of Laila's nieces feel happy every time Rena plays to her contract.

After two weeks had passed, it was time for Kayla and Hasna to go to school. First day of school at his new place. Laila, who happens to be in shift one, was able to drop off her two nieces on the first day of school. This is the first time Hasna has attended school.

"Ren, please tell me I'm late for work!" laila said by phone.

"Yes, just relax. It's easy to do that" said Rena.

Laila can be calmer when she can take Hasna and Kayla to school. Laila smiled happily as Hasna was excited. Even with very simple circumstances, Laila was able to teach reading, writing and numeracy to Hasna.

Same with Kayla. Hasna did not attend kindergarten like her other friends. But for Laila, as long as they can read, write and count it is enough. That's all the starting capital. They can search for themselves, learn themselves through various things after mastering the three basic abilities.

"Okay, Rena why the hell does the phone keep?" laila was upset.

Laila took the time to answer Rena's phone. Laila's mouth was wide open with perfectly rounded eyes. It turned out that day there was impromptu control from the boss. Rena who got the info immediately informed Laila.

"Yes, yes, I'm going there now." Laila was panicking.

Laila did not leave immediately. He had to give Hasna permission, then talk to Kayla. After that he ran as fast as he could to come before the control of the employee began.

"Sir, sir," call Laila.

"Well, how come you're new here?" ask one of the guards.

"Don't ask too many questions, I'm late. Please open the door" said Laila.

Actually security guards should not open the door during field control like this. But they knew Laila couldn't be late if it wasn't for some really urgent interest.

They immediately opened the gate and showed Laila a safe passage through. Thanks to the help of the two guards, Laila was able to enter the room before the officers entered.

Laila shakes. Not because it was frugal, but there happened to be no one ojek at the base. Laila had to run away from waiting for a motorcycle that did not know when it was coming.

"Now, wipe first." Rena gives Laila a tissue.

Moments after Laila wiped her sweat, a tall man walked into the room. Look at the operating room. A piece of paper in his hand was seen several times. It seems he was checking the suitability of the absence with the presence of employees.

Some people called his name. Questions were rained about their work and educational background. Even Laila became one of them. Laila raised her hand as her name was called.

"You're a master of the gourmet?" ask the man.

"Yes sir" replied Laila.

"Why work here?" ask the man.

Laila innocently answered her reason for working at the factory. Textile factories that were never studied during school. But Laila's honesty and innocence became a fortune.

Laila was pulled for one week into the kitchen. He will be an assistant chef for the next week. During that time the professional assistant chef is sick and has to undergo surgery. It was with great pleasure that Laila immediately agreed.

Although Laila will part ways with Rena, but at least Laila can treat her longing about the kitchen and cooking. That same day Laila moved into the kitchen and began to change into a uniform. Even Laila hasn't paid a damn to Rena.

Different hours of return make Laila had to wait for Rena one hour at the security guard post. When asked why had to wait for Rena so long, finally the two guards thumbs up on Laila. The loyal nature of the friend that Laila has is very much needed and worthy of pride.

"La? Haven't come home?" asked Rena when she saw Laila sitting at the security guard post.

"Wait for you, Ren. Come on!" laila replied while sitting in the back seat.

Rena immediately pulled the gas leaving the factory. On the way home, Rena reminded Laila to go home when she finished work. There was no need to wait for her as there was Kayla and Hasna at home.

"Don't taste bad bad. You're a two-child girl. If there is time for them. Pity them" Rena reminded.

Luckily Rena understands Laila's situation. A week since he was assigned to be an assistant chef, making Laila can go in and go home more relaxed. His salary was not reduced. Even what Laila heard there would be bonuses for her.

After a week passed, the owner of the central factory came suddenly. The assistant chef who was still not in made Laila pulled back into the kitchen. Though it should be today Laila returned to normal work in the field.

"Sir Jacob wants oriental cuisine," asked one of Mr. Jacob's assistants.

"Ready," replied the main Chef with great confidence.

After Mr. Jacob's assistant came home, Laila saw the chef looking confused. There's no way the flagship chef at the factory can't provide the food Mr. Jacob asked for. It really is. It was not impossible, but rather the chef felt insecure.

The last time was six months ago, Mr. Jacob blatantly rejected his homemade food. He said it didn't fit his tongue. It made the chef worried that the incident did not happen again. But Laila assured the main chef that if he did not try it, he would not know the result.

Even Laila gave an idea for what dishes they would make. Laila who had learned things about cooking, exerted what she could for this. After the food was served, Laila took the food to her room.

"Excuse me," said Laila to one strapping man standing at the door.

"Let me take it" said the man.

"Oh please," replied Laila while handing over the dishes she brought.

Laila returned after what she had brought into the room.

"Where?" ask the chef.

"Don't know the chef, I wasn't allowed in. The cuisine was brought with him by his aides. Fear of being poisoned the same time we are," Laila replied with a laugh.

Laila kept trying to comfort the chef with all her innocence. Until finally Laila saw the chefs cheerful face after her aide came and said the cuisine was delicious. Mr. Jacob asked to be advised again to return to Jakarta.

Not only there, Mr. Jacob also asked to be made a similar cuisine for this afternoon because there will be special guests to the factory. Laila had to go overtime. Though in her heart Laila was very anxious to think about Hasna and Kayla who had missed her.

"The rich sometimes don't know the rules. Does this hour still have to work?" lala was upset.

"Don't get angry when you get old," the chef sneered at Laila who was pouting.
