My Heart For You
1. Gathering

Raindrops drenched the earth making the cold temperature feel more piercing. Some people struggle with dreams under their warm blankets. While some are already on the move to escape the cold. Just like Karina does every day.

If the Cinderella story is real, then in this life maybe Karina is the Cinderella. But unfortunately it was just a delusion where a prince loved a poor woman.

“Karina! Where are my socks?” the cousin shouted from his room. Calling her name ignores politeness, given Karian's age is five years older than her.

“There is in the second drawer in the closet.”

“Karina! Where's the food? I have to leave now.”

“food is ready uncle.”

At a trained pace, Karina serves her handmade dishes on the dining table.

“Karina, not yesterday you've been paid?”

“iya bi, already transferred to bibi.” account

“only eight hundred thousand?”

“yang two hundred for shopping home needs bi.” Said Karina reminded her aunt that the need for this house is to close it.

“you should look for a high-paying job, in vain we send you to college. Salary one million is not enough for one month.”

His energy has been drained to serve them, even economic affairs Karina has to use all the money from her hard work. Even though his uncle also worked even with a salary four times higher than his salary.

“saturday tomorrow we want a holiday out of town, you take care of the house well.”

“ya bi.”

Karina answered him with origin because my time is getting late and he must immediately go to work.

“do you not like?” her tanyanya made Karina stop the activity of washing dishes that she was doing.

“apa?”

“you don't like having to keep the house while we vacation?”

“no, where might be so.”

“Good, you must remember our sacrifice of raising you, just assume your hard work is currently used to pay for our hard work first.”

“iya bi.”

Meanwhile, in another place with conditions far different from Karina's life. A man had just woken up from his sleep from feeling the sunlight penetrating into the room through the curtain gap. The man named Kenan stretched his body and headed to the bathroom. Dressed in an expensive suit equipped with a luxurious watch, Kenan exited his room and walked towards the dining room.

There is no need to bother cooking food because there are maids who come every morning to cook food and take dirty clothes. After enjoying breakfast, he rushed to the office in his luxury car.

“schedule today.” Ask the secretary when he reaches the office lobby.

“today there is a schedule of visits to the hotel and also a meeting after lunch.”

“hmm, change the schedule, new meeting to hotel.”

“good sir.”

Kenan got into the elevator that was intended specifically for him. Even the secretary and his assistant who always worked beside him were not allowed to ride the special elevator.

On the other hand, Karina had also just arrived at her workplace. He changed his clothes into a cafe uniform and then headed forward. Cleaning and arranging table chairs then change the writing on the door to ‘BUKA’.

There are a total of eight employees in the cafe with morning and night shift systems. Each shift contains four people. Karina gets a morning shift ration and will work until three in the afternoon.

Employees at this place are taken from students who need a part-time job, except the cashier section. With a salary of one million per month, it is quite helpful for the students. But not with Karina, therefore she had to rush off to another place after her working hours ended.

Karina walks to the nearest bus stop that will take her to her other workplace. Time on the bus can be used to rest for a while. Karina did not wear her bike because the distance from home to the cafe was quite far and the distance from home to the next place. Although it has to spend a little money, it is more efficient considering the schedule to go home from the cafe and the schedule of work at the other place is only half an hour.

Karina walked into a hotel and walked into the room at the very back. After changing her clothes, Karina rushed towards the cleaning equipment storage.

“Karina.”

“ya bu?”

“clean floor one and two.”

“well bu.”

Deftly, Karina began to do her responsibility to clean up. While mopping the floor, Karina occasionally had to pause because there were people passing by.

“Karina.” His superior called out making him instantly rotate his body.

Accidentally the handle of the mop he was holding hit a visitor who was passing nearby. The hot coffee that was being held fell over flushing Karian's arm and slightly squinted at the woman's clothes.

“akh.” Shouted the female visitor.

“you don't have eyes huh?”

“ma-sorry, sorry I accidentally.”

Karina ignored the intense heat and pain in her hands. He took a clean cloth to wipe the woman's clothes but his hand was immediately pushed aside.

“do you know how much my clothes cost? One year salary you work here also can not buy it.”

“i am sorry.”

Now the two of them became the center of attention of everyone in the lobby. Karina's superior who had called also came straight to her. The middle-aged woman also looked down apologetically and helped out by giving her a tissue.

“we are sorry for the negligence of our employees, we will indemnify you.” Speak with kindness.

“I don't need restitution, kneel down and apologize.” His orders to Karina.

“we have already apologized and our employees are also injured, I hope it can be completed until here only.”

“he was only slightly injured, but my shirt is no longer wearable.”

“therefore we will replace the loss.”

“but I want him to kneel before me and apologize, after that I will release him and will not sue for damages.” He said with pride.

Karina held the arm of her superior who would issue words of defense for her. He shook his head as a gesture to the middle-aged woman not to defend him further. Karina swallowed all of her pride and began to bend her knees slowly.

“if you kneel, please get out of this hotel and don't come back to work.”

A man's baritone voice rang out from behind Karina. Karian immediately turned her head and saw the man walking towards her followed by a few people. He stood up straight again and looked in wonder at the man.

“don't you think that if you kneel you will also drag this hotel down?”

“who are you?” the woman asked in a high tone.

“my Kenan, the owner of this hotel.”

“just right his employees brash, the owner just like this.”

Kenan looked at the woman in front of him with an intimidating aura.

“i've seen it all.”

“good then, you should know what to do.”

“i know very well, Della please help this lady take care of her check out.”

“good sir.” Karina's superior who had defended her immediately obeyed Kenan's orders.

“apa?”

“we offer indemnity but you refuse it, and our employees are also hurt because of your carelessness.”

“the careless one is not me.”

“in a place this wide, why do you choose to walk near people who are working?”

“apa?”

“we will compensate for your clothes which he said can not be bought with a salary of a year my employees.”

“hotel is really bad.”

“then do not come again here, we very much do not expect your presence here.”

Kenan said all that without smiling one bit. Karina and all the employees who were there looked very depressed every time they heard their boss's words. The woman was forced by her friend to leave to stop arguing. It seemed like he felt ashamed because they had now become a spectacle of people.

Kenan looked at Karina's reddened hands.

“go to hospital.”

“i'm fine.”

“then stop working only.” He said and left.

“mbak please go to the hospital according to Pak Kenan's order to treat his hands, the bill will be paid by the company.”

“tapi..”.

“ini will be considered a work accident, so the company responsible.”

Karina could only nod her head and follow someone who was told to take her to the hospital.
