Tenth

Andara looked at a woman who was looking down in front of her.

She sighed tiredly, earlier on her way to her shop, She saw a woman who was probably a few years her junior chasing the person who stole her bag.

The woman said if she was from Sukabumi, and wanted to try her luck in Jakarta, she only had part of her savings lost.

Judging from her innocent appearance, Andara believes that if the woman is easily deceived, the woman who claims to be named Sari is a widow who was forced to divorce her husband because she could not produce children.

She had been married for 10 years and had no children, until her in-laws threatened to remove her husband from the family's heir list if they did not separate.

Sari, who loves Haris very much and doesn't want her husband to have to lose his family, let alone have to live a hard life because of him.

Andara intends to hire Sari as her employee, as Raga suggests as he is overwhelmed with serving her own customers, moreover Raga says that he rarely visits the shop due to his current schedule.

"No need to look down on Sar, think of me as a friend, there are no employees or bosses here okay?" The woman who looked quite sweet according to Andara smiled back at Andara while nodding her head.

"Working here is easy, every cake also has a price, you only need to be a cashier, I'll make a cake price list later, you stick it on the cashier's desk so you don't bother, and most importantly, you have to be friendly with the buyer, for the salary... sorry, I can't get your big salary"

"No ma'am, it's okay, I'm dont even mind not being paid a salary, you saved me early"

Andara shook her head slowly, "You can't call it work if you don't get paid"

She wrote the price of the cake on a piece of paper while explaining the name of the cake to Sari, afraid that the woman would not understand.

while Sari is filling cakes on her empty shelf according to Andara's order "oh yeah.. if you want, tonight you can sleep here, instead of you still have to look for a boarding house right, later let me tell the owner of this shop, because I also rent a shop this, she is very nice, you must be allowed" Sari nods, making Andara feel surprised, the woman next to her looks quite tired or Sari is really quiet.

"You can start work tomorrow, Sar, you must be tired from yesterday you didn't sleep well, I have a mattress, you can sleep in the back, you can sleep here at night, I'm afraid there will be customers, because I want to open a shop again" Andara grimaced at At the end of the sentence, she felt impolite because she only gave Sari a floor mattress and even then he had to sleep in the back.

"No miss it's okay, last night I slept well on the bus, I couldn't take a nap, maybe I was just thinking about my ex-husband" Andara smiled sadly. If you think about it, Sari's problem is not as serious as her's problem before, although no doubt Sari's life can't be said to be happy.

"Go through everything first, sincere patience and praying is the key, if you are a mate, whatever happens to you, you and your husband will stay the same" Sari nodded choosing to smile while saying thank you.

The bell on the shop door caught the two women's attention.

The reason is, Andara has not had time to change the word open on the glass door of her shop.

Andara smiled broadly when she found out who was visiting, she gave the paper to Sari, asking the woman to keep it as she wished.

Andara ducked past the bread rack before finally surprising Nara, making the toddler jump and burst out laughing as She fell into Andara's arms.

"Nara misses... with mommy" said Nara making Andara kiss the toddler's cheek and making her giggle amused because of Andara's sharp nose.

"Mom misses Nara too" the bell rang again, showing a middle-aged man in a driver's uniform and panting for breath.

Andara who felt confused finally understood when She saw Nara's laughter exploded.

"Sorry hah.. Ma'am, I.. hah already told you that the shop is closed, hah.. hah.. but my lady still wants to come in.. ouch.. hah.." Andara grimaced, shaking her head slowly at Nara who was now muffled her laughter .

"next time you can't do it dear" She suggested which was thumbs up by Nara.

"Sit down, sir," said Andara, reluctantly asking Sari to get her a drink because Nara didn't let her go one bit.

after seeing Sari get the drink in question, Andara focused her attention on Nara who seemed to want to say something to her.

"Nara, what do you want to say to mommy?" Nara nodded firmly, taking out three hundred thousand notes from the pocket of her half-thigh jeans.

"Oma told Nara to buy mommy's cake, then had to take it to papa's office" Andara's mouth rounded in response to Nara's words.

"why not the same grandma? usually Nara with grandma right?" This time Nara shook her head slowly with her innocent look.

"Auntie said Grandma was sick at home, her head was dizzy, then Papa didn't come home, he said he was still busy taking care of the office, that's why Grandma asked Nara to bring cake to the office so Papa had breakfast"

"Grandma is sick and papa isn't home, does that mean Papa doesn't know Grandma is sick?"

Nara shook her head slowly but the next second nodded slowly, while Andara chuckled at him, She knew what Nara meant she didn't know her father knew or not.

"But mommy..?"

"why?" Andara frowned when she saw Nara who looked half afraid to speak.

"Nara doesn't like going to Papa's office alone, Aunt in there often pinches Nara's cheeks, if Nala and Grandma or Papa don't dare, Naea's cheeks hurt" Andara grimaced softly, besides who doesn't like pinching Nara's chubby cheeks?

"Miss Andara, is this shop open now?" Andara glanced at Sari briefly, her eyes widened when She saw that there were still quite a lot of leftovers, it was impossible for the shop to close, but Nara's pouting expression made Andara feel sorry for her, She became indecisive.

"Shhh.. I have to take Nara to her father's office sar"

Sari nodded slowly, after seeing the list and price list that Andara gave, she was sure the job was quite easy.

"Let me continue if miss doesn't mind"

"Can you do it?, I mean--"

Sari chuckled softly, she thought she would be suitable to work with Andara.

"Yes miss, actually I used to be in the village once guarding the village cooperative" Andara stuttered before finally laughing out loud because of embarrassment, She felt like he was pretentious before.

"Can I open miss? i think the customer are already waiting at the front"

"Okay" Andara replied excitedly, She went for a while to say goodbye to Nara, took some cakes she remembered that Langit bought a few days ago.

Andara looked down feeling embarrassed by the looks of everyone who passed her as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

a few seconds ago Andara and Nara just arrived in front of a luxurious office building that Andara never thought that belonged to the Nara family.

Andara knows that Langit is a businessman, but in her mind it is just an ordinary office like Indra.

but this was beyond her expectation, even when the receptionist looked at her asking why she was with her boss's daughter, Andara just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

she was invited to go up using a special elevator with Nara in her arms, the fashionable dressed receptionist offered to be more precise to Nara to take her to her father's room which the toddler refused, even Andara several times heard the pressure of mommy's call that was thrown by Nara.

Andara repeatedly breathed a sigh of relief when she got out of the elevator, this was the first time for her to ride an elevator and it made her tremble a little so she chose to lower Nara and lead her.

Nara chuckled a little when she found out that her mother was afraid, she even laughed at Andara to make the mother of one child embarrassed.

until the two of them almost arrived in front of Langit room, but another voice interrupted and stopped them from inside the room beside langit room.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nara, I didn't see Miss," said someone feeling guilty, because he was in a room with high glass starting from the waist of an adult, so that all he could see was a beautiful woman heading to her boss's office.

while his boss had told him not to disturb him.

"Ugh.. Uncle Bara, nara surprised" Nara exclaimed, not accepting, which was returned with a grin and an apology from the assistant and secretary of hee father for a while.

because her father's old secretary had to replace the marketing manager who was taking time off.

"okay mom come on.. we meet papa" nara pulled Andara's hand a little, while Andara could only say excuse me while smiling awkwardly at Bara.

Bara was frozen on the spot, 2 things that made him like that, Mommy's call from Nara and a smile that made him unable to blink.

❤❤❤❤

Sky massaged the bridge of his nose slowly, not because of his office problems, but because the more clients he got, the busier he got.

not to mention Raga's suggestion to ask him to make a backup of every designe that only he knows as well as certain people to minimize yesterday's events from happening again.

Moreover, he had to re-create a new design to replace the old design for his new project which was already popular in the market because of the Aditama group.

Damn Sintya

his mind cursed, he even nearly slammed the document in his hand, if only there wasn't a shrill voice calling him papa that made him turn his head.

followed by the arrival of woman who he did not expect to visit his office.

the woman with the smile that had been hanging around his head for the past few days.

his cloudy face was now replaced with a smile that was too wide, making him immediately get up and jog towards the princess.

drowning her directly in his arms, causing a small chuckle to be heard from her daughter's mouth, and someone carrying a paper bag in her left hand.

Langit gaze turned to Andara, after which he stood up again and lifted Nara into his arms.

maybe the happy soul of Langit dominated until the man subconsciously took Andara's hand gently, while leading him to the sofa not far from his desk.

while Andara could only follow with a blush on her cheeks, she didn't know what made her blush, just because of a small touch of langit on her hand.

"What do you want to drink?" Andara raised both eyebrows in response, before saying whatever because he didn't know what office people usually drink.

"you want coffee?" Andara grimaced softly before finally shaking her head slightly.

"I don't like coffee Lang, I feel nauseous when I smell coffee." This time it was Langit's turn to be tense, he didn't expect Andara's call to be so sweet.

"cold chocolate?" offered Langit, which Andara replied with a nod of enthusiasm.

after that Andara know Langit asked someone to deliver 2 cold chocolates and a strawberry flavored milk which She believed belonged to Nara

"You don't keep the shop? Don't tell me Nara forced you to come here" Andara grimaced on the spot while Nara glared at her father who was still staring at Andara.

actually Andara was uncomfortable with Langit's gaze that was too intense on her, making her unfocused and her body a little goosebumps.

"The shop already has employees Lang, so I can stay for a while, I offered to take Nara, because she was alone, but the driver drove her earlier." Langit nodded in understanding and frowned, as far as he knew Nara was used to only being escorted by his driver when he went to his office
