Wife Interlude

Chapter.67 Suspected Servant.

It was a very busy afternoon, that was what happened at the restaurant owned by Rina, almost all the tables in the restaurant were filled, there were also those who booked for the event with friends and family.

All the employees who were there also seemed busy serving the guests present, even Heni and Rina also helped serve customers who this afternoon somehow seemed very crowded.

"It's like you just refilled the bestselling amulet, Rin?" heni asked as they were waiting for the order food to be delivered to the guest table.

Heni seemed to chuckle as he said the temptation to Lina, in order to comfort them from the tiredness of the work during the day.

"Yes, yesterday I just came home from Ujung Kulon," replied Rina origin while chuckling lightly. His head nodded back at the joke from his best friend.

The two friends seemed to be joking with words that were actually quite sensitive, if heard by customers. Fortunately, the employees there were used to the jokes of the bosses, plus the voices of Heni and Rina were not too tight.

"This is an order for table number fifteen" said the waiter who worked in the kitchen, propping a tray in front of Rina and Heni.

"Yuk," said Rina while taking one of the trays containing food while Heni who brought drinks.

The two also seemed to be walking towards the intended table, he there seemed to be some middle-aged women chatting together.

"Good day," said Rina while arranging the food she brought and followed by Heni afterwards.

Lina's face seemed to change when she saw one of the middle-aged women sitting there. However, Lina tried to remain professional and did her job well.

"Good to enjoy the dishes from our restaurant," said Rina and Heni simultaneously, then straightened up and turned around to return to the back.

"Wait!" Lina stopped her steps as the voice of one of the guests greeted her hearing. His heart was pounding so fast that it felt like he was going to faint at this moment. He was afraid to make mistakes until later to make the woman he knew was embarrassed by it.

"Yes, there's something we can help you with again, ma'am," asked Rina still acting as a waitress and guest.

Meanwhile the woman that Rina knew just fell silent while pretending not to look at Rina. He was indifferent to what was happening now.

"So you're just a resto employee?" asked the woman while frowning her forehead.

"Ah, that, me-" Rina seemed hesitant to reveal her work.

Heni who saw that seemed to be confused, he chose his farewell and returned to help the others, considering that it was not his territory to interfere.

"Mama!" The voice of the little boy who was very familiar to him in the middle of the noisy atmosphere of the afternoon restaurant distracts both Rina and the middle-aged women in front of him.

"Who is he, Mba?" ask one of them to the woman who has been talking to Rina.

"Ah, you don't know? She was the woman who was called the actor. I also saw him with Arya, you know, he's youtube" said the middle-aged woman in the style ready to gossip.

Rina clenched her hands, she was eager to resist and refute the words of the woman, but the existence of the Star that was walking towards her made her speechless.

Lina looked at the woman she knew, hoping to get help from her, even though it might just be a wish for her right now.

"Assalamualaikum, Mah," said the Star as she reached out to kiss the back of Rina's hand, when she had arrived.

Lina smiled she deliberately blocked the handling of the Star from the guest there, so that the Star would not greet her. He then extended his hand that was immediately kissed by the Star, then crouched down and kissed the child's face in front of the guests.

"Stars go straight to the top, yes, Mama will follow," Rina told Bintang.

"Yes, Mah. I wait for Papa to be there," replied the Star as he pointed towards near the cashier.

Rina followed the direction of the Star's index finger, she then nodded while smiling lovingly at the child.

"You're also taking the child to work?" asked the middle-aged woman with a dismissive smile.

"Star let's go upstairs, don't disturb your work." Not until the Star stepped far away from Rina, Arya had already called out to her. The man looked at Rina with a smile that was definitely so dazzling.

"Honey don't forget to bring food for the two of us" Arya only spoke at a glance to Rina without seeing the guests there.

"Geez, is this Mba's daughter-in-law? Very diligent yes, until you want to work as a waiter for a restaurant like this," said one of the women there while staring at Rina petty.

"No, I told you what, I've seen him with Arya on youtube," said the middle-aged woman again, who was adopted by other friends.

"Eh, no. He was just a close friend of Arya," I ummi immediately while looking at Arya who was now walking up the stairs with the Stars. It seemed that Arya did not see her existence in that place.

"If nothing is needed anymore, I'm sorry first," said Rina cut off the talk of the middle-aged women, then walked away from the group of mothers who turned out there ummi also.

Rina prefers to avoid from there, she is afraid that she will embarrass the mother of Arya if she continues to be there. Rina was also not used to explaining her position in this restaurant, she indeed preferred to be considered as an ordinary employee.

Rina then approached the cashier's desk and left a message there, not to charge for what they had ordered, arguing that they were her relatives.

"Who are they, Rin? How arrogant is his style really the same as you?" asked Heni who approached Rina.

"The mother is Aryan" replied Lina weakly.

"Huh?! Which was? Don't tell me that insulted you!" Lina immediately smothered Heni's mouth which involuntarily shouted, while shaking her head.

"Ssh, don't be so noisy, Hen. Arya's mother was not the one, she was the one who wore the longest veil among the others" replied Rina as she spread her gaze to see the guests who now seemed to be paying attention to her, as well as Heni.

"Yes, sorry. I reflexed just now," Heni said as she flicked her lips that had just been released by Rina.

"Ready, Boss Ma'am," Heni replied as he received the apron from Rina's hand.

Rina went upstairs to catch up with Arya and Bintang who were waiting for her in her study.

Meanwhile, ummi and other mothers seemed to be enjoying the food they had. Everyone was seen praising the food at the place until someone intended to order it to take home.

While Ummi was not enjoying his food, he seemed to continue to pay attention to Rina who was talking, then walked up.

"I want to go to the toilet first yes," said ummi to her friends, then quietly followed Rina who began to step up the stairs.

Ummi was confused when he reached the second floor of the restaurant because he did not find Rina there. However, he was suddenly startled by the arrival of Rina from behind him.

"Ummi, I'm sorry I didn't say hello, yet" said Rina as she extended her hand in front of the middle-aged woman.

Lina's smile also seemed written even though she had been humiliated by other ummi friends.

Ummi hesitantly welcomed Rina's hand, even though she hadn't said a word. Ummi's face also looked very awkward.

"Ummi, want to find Arya huh? Let me deliver," said Rina again while allowing ummi to walk first.

Umi nodded then began to walk according to Lina's direction, until a while she arrived in front of a room with an open door.

"Assalamualaikum," said Rina as she walked in along with the ummi.

"Girisham, Ummi?

"Grandmother?!"

Arya and Bintang answered together with a surprised face when they saw the existence of ummi along with Rina, both of them even had facial expressions and movements made the same, to make Rina smile.

"Don't ummi say come afternoon, how come it's here now? Do you know where Arya is from?" arya asked as she approached ummi who was looking at her with an annoyed face.

"Basin' bad boy! You can see him and you ignore ummi below," upset ummi while hitting Arya's shoulder who was kissing the back of her hand.

"Huh? So ummi was downstairs?" Arya looked surprised.

"Heem, ummi came this morning, but you've left for work, so ummi invites friends to have lunch together, because Ray is also busy on campus. It is not unexpected that Ummi even saw the ummi child here," ummi's nagging expressed his frustration to the child.

"I'm sorry, Ummi, I don't know if I've come, and Ray doesn't know if you don't come in the afternoon" Arya replied.

"Excuse me." Heni and some of the waiters who brought lunch were already waiting at the door.

"Just put it here, Hen," said Rina, pointing at the table in her room.

"Please bring one more serving for her mother Arya yes, Hen," continued Rina in a slightly quiet voice after all the dishes were served on the table.

"OK," said Heni while holding together the tips of his thumb and index finger.

"May you win the heart of the future in-laws, the spirit!" whispered Heni again before going outside.

Lina simply smiled in response.

"Please sit down, Ummi, sorry the place is small," said Rina gave instructions to Arya and ummi.

"Grandmother, let's eat together. The food here is delicious." The star chimed in while sitting in his own chair.

Ummi seemed to smile at the Star then circulated his gaze, looking at the atmosphere of the room.

"Whose office are you in?" ask Ummi confused.

Arya smiled she then looked at Rina briefly then looked back at the face of the mother.

"This is Rina's office, Ummi," Arya replied smiling proudly at the lover.

"So Rina's not a waiter?" ask ummi slowly.

"Servant?" Arya frowned confusedly.

"This resto belongs to Rina, Ummi. He often helps the workers when they are crowded," Arya replied while giggling.

It seems that ummi misunderstood Rina, she thought that Rina was just a servant. Rina is the owner of the restaurant.

Ummi seemed to widen his eyes, surprised by the answer of the child. The star had said that Rina also owned a restaurant, but ummi did not take that seriously.

His view is now locked on the picture frame on the desk of Rina, ummi can see clearly if it is a photo of Rina and Bintang.
