This morning Elfira was busy with her new job, which is cooking catering for Erlangga employees. Yesterday he signed a partnership with Erlangga. Every day he will deliver lunch as many as 50 boxes, but especially for today Erlangga ordered as many as 100 boxes because there is an event in his office. Elfira was helped by some of her neighbors whom she recruited suddenly. Fortunately, they were willing and did not mind, because they also happened to need a job. They were very happy and grateful when Elfira invited them to work with her.
"Mbak Siti, please wash the chicken yes," pinta Elfira on its members named Siti.
"Ready neng Fira," said Siti then remove the chicken from the shopping bag. After that, he washed it clean.
Elfira has 5 members, and all have their duties. There are special seasonings, some clean chicken, fish or meat, and other tasks. As for the Elfira cooking specialty, for the time being she was still unable to entrust it to others. Elfira tried to keep the taste of the cuisine until later in known to many people.
"Mother," called Anin who had just woken up from her sleep and came to Elfira in the kitchen.
"Eh, your son is awake." Elfira approached her daughter and carried her.
"Mbak-mbak all, please continue the work yes. I want to bathe Anin first, later when it is finished let me cook," he told all workers.
"Ready neng Fira," they answered compactly.
Elfira also took Anin to her son's room for her to take a bath and change clothes. After bathing and dressing the child, Elfira combed Anin's hair and tied it up.
"Mother" call Anin.
"Yes dear."
"Anin misses father," said Anin made Elfira stop her activities that were binding Anin's hair. This was what he was afraid of, Anin would definitely keep asking about her father. Although he had already said that his father was working abroad, the name of the son would definitely still miss his father and ask about the whereabouts of the father.
"Patience is dear, Anin just pray that you will come home quickly and can play with Anin again" replied Elfira lying.
"Anin wants to call me, can you, Bun?" Anin looked at her mother expectantly.
Elfira who could not bear to see her son finally obeyed the will of the child. "After the mother called the father first yes," said Elfira while away from her son. He did not want his speech heard by the child.
Elfira calls the police station where Adam is being held, asking the officer to give Adam permission to take his call because his son misses his father.
However, the police did not allow Adam to receive calls from anyone including his family for some reason.
Elfira tried to plead for the child, but the police would not allow it. Finally Elfira can only resign, she will try to give understanding to the child.
"Where's Bun, not adopted by dad?" anin asked as she looked at her mother back.
"I'm sorry, baby, I think you're busy. Next time we try again yes," said Elfira trying to encourage the child.
Although disappointed, but Anin still tried to be heartened. "Yes already Bun," said Anin not spirit.
"Now we go down yuk, after that Anin breakfast. Mother wants to cook first because today mother there are many catering orders," invited Elfira while leading her son to come down.

Time has shown at 11am by noon. All Elfira's work has been completed, the cuisine has also been completed and has been entered into the *lunch box*. According to the order, 100 boxes have been prepared Elfira on time. Now it was time to deliver all the food to Erlangga's office.
In the meantime, Elfira herself will deliver her order before she gets the person who will work as delivery man or the person who will deliver the order to the customer.
"Everything's been put in the car, right?" elfira asked Marni, one of her members.
"It's done, it's all done" replied Marni.
"Yes, then everyone please clean the kitchen. Let me transfer the order first, later if the kitchen is all done, then you can go home and rest. Tomorrow we start working again" Elfira told all members.
"Sorry to Fira, I don't want it" said Karti hesitated.
"That, anu, hmm. What about our wages today, said Neng Fira we are in the daily wage."
Elfira smiled in response, "if it was easy. Later I will transfer to your respective account after all these orders are paid. So just calm down, don't be afraid. I did not break my promise," said Elfira made the five people smile with relief.
Time continued to run, Elfira immediately drove her car and delivered her order to Erlangga's office. At exactly 11:45 Elfira arrived at Erlangga's office. He then contacted Erlangga and said that he had reached his office and asked for help to lift all the boxes onto the building.
Erlangga swiftly ordered the entire OB to come down and help Elfira. After all the boxes were brought up, Elfira went into the building to meet Erlangga. The room was on the 10th floor, so Elfira had to take an elevator to get there.
Arriving at the 10th floor, Elfira went to the secretary's desk to ask where Erlangga was. In his hand there is a lunch box that he will give specifically to the man as a thank you for giving him a job that suits his skills.
Erlangga's secretary, Sinta, had recognized Elfira, and Erlangga had also given her a message to let Elfira in if she came to her room. Sinta also invited Elfira to go directly into Erlangga's room and said that her boss had been waiting for her arrival since.
Before entering Elfira knocked on the door first, once allowed to enter then Elfira dared to open the door.
"Assalamualaikum," said Elfira as soon as she opened the door.
"Waalaikumsalam, come in here Fir." Erlangga got up from his seat and came to Elfira. " Sit first yuk," asked Erlangga to let the woman sit on the sofa in her room.
"It's for you." Elfira gave the lunch box she brought to Erlangga.
"What's this?" asked Erlangga after receiving the lunch box.
"That's what I've specially prepared for you as a thank you to you."
"Oh, I'm going to bother about everything. But thank you, I'll spend it." Erlangga opened the lunch box and was so amazed to see the contents.
"It looks so good, but the portions are too much. How about we eat together?" invite Erlangga to make Elfira feel sad.
"Eh, how?"
"It's okay, come on."
Finally inevitably Elfira also eat with Erlangga. They ate together while chatting.
"Oh yes, the fee has been transferred, yes" said Erlangga after they finished their lunch.
"Thank you Lang, you've helped me a lot. With this cooperation I can finance my life and my son and I will never forget this help of yours," said Elfira sincerely from her heart.
"Sama-sama Fir's. I hope this partnership can be a new beginning in your life. And you can prove to the world that you can be a successful woman and mother even without a husband" Erlangga replied.
"If so I say go home yes, afraid Anin nyariin if I'm too long outside." Elfira was saying goodbye as she moved from her seat.
"Want me to take you?"
"No, I brought my own car. I'm going home, assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam," Erlangga replied as he stared at Elfira's departure.
"If you know how I feel, Fir" murmured Erlangga who could only be heard by herself.
