"What's happening?" ma'am Emilia's voice echoed in the hallway.
That's when I got nervous. I bite my lips because of nervous.
Ma'am Emilia looked at me as the one in front of me was a rude man with bloody lips.
"What's happening here, Alba? This is your first day of work and it seems you're in trouble already?" She also looked at Kia who was behind me. "Kia? What's happening here?" she asked.
I bowed to ma'am Emilia in respect. "I'm sorry for the trouble, ma'am. This visitor is kinda unrespectful," I said softly.
She looked at the man. "Sir, I am really sorry for the trouble. I promise to make it up to you," ma'am apologized.
The man pointed at me. "This girl is her first day?" he asked.
Ma'am nodded. After that, the man turned to me and laughed at me. "You have the audicity to be so boastful when in fact this is just your first day? You're too confident, huh?" His arrogant look makes me pissed.
I was about to hit him when I felt Kia touch my elbow to stop me.
The man raised an eyebrow at me and looked at me again insultingly. "Your courage, you are just another helper here," he said.
I smiled at him, then I approached him before whispering. "Whether I'm a helper or not, you have no right to insult me ​​or anyone. You're so fat, it doesn't suit you well plus you're so ugly. And one more thing, I don't care if I lose my job, and at least I've defended myself to someone like you who doesn't even know how to respect. "
"Alba!" reprimanded by ma'am Emilia.
I smirked at him.
"Go to my office, you two," ma'am calmly said. But I'm sure her blood is boiling right now on us or else only on me.
Ma'am Emilia turned to leave. She send the boastful man to the clinic for treatment.
I looked at Arki and forced a smile to thank him for what he did. If this will be my last day working here, I'll thank him because he defended me earlier.
Kia and I were about to follow ma'am Emilia when I heard Arki speak suddenly. "Ma'am Emilia," he called.
Does he know ma'am? Ma'am stopped and faced. Her eyes widened suddenly. "Arki ?!" she called Arki in shock.
They know each other?
Arki nodded and approached ma'am Emilia. "I was the one who punched that man. Alba was innocent. That man disrespect Alba and your other staff," he said.
"What's happening?" Kia whispered to me.
I shook. "I don't know too. It looks like they know each other," I replied.
Ma'am's forehead furrowed. It waved. "But you shouldn't punched him, Arki. If your dad will know about this, you'll be scolded for sure," I heard to him say.
We turned around when someone spoke behind Kia and me. "Shit! What did Arki do? And why is Aunt Emilia there?" Travis asked behind us so Kia turned to us at the same time.
"
Aunt?" Kia and I asked at the same time.
Travis scratched his head because of our reaction. I looked at Arki and they were talking seriously.
"That's Arki's aunt. She owns this resort, doesn't she? Aunt Emilia is Arki's sister's wife," he explained.
Kia and I looked at each other and at the same time covered our mouths in shock. "I mean ... it's their resort?" I asked in shock.
Travis nodded slowly. "Technically. But it's his aunt's and Arki doesn't claim it," Travis replied.
I'm nervous. That's not what I should think now. I don't know what my destiny will be later because I will possibly be fired.
What I did was really wrong. That costumer. "I'm just going somewhere," I softly said goodbye to the two of them.
Kia looked at me and was obviously worried about me. I smiled at her to make sure that I am okay.
She reached for my hand and held it. "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
I smiled wryly at her and nodded. "I'm okay, Kia. Let's just meet later when ma'am Emilia calls us," I told her.
I nodded to Travis to say goodbye as well. He nodded back.
I went back to the office and I was just busy all day. I also can't focus because of what happened earlier. I pity myself for what the man said earlier to me. He said I was just a helper and I had no right to be proud.
As I remember, I was not boastful of that man. I was just defending the staff. But it is expected when you are in the hospitality industry. You're serving people and what is being reciprocated is humiliation and insult.
I took a deep breath. I shouldn't feel sorry for myself. That man should, that costumer. I, working as a dignified and I don't insult anyone while he is rude and does not yet know how to accept mistakes.
When Kia called me to say that we had gone to ma'am's office, I was very nervous.
"Sol ... you can do it. Whatever happens, you know you're still right. You just fought for what's right. If you get fired from your job now, it's worth it," I whispered to myself.
As I approached ma'am Emilia's office I wanted to step back. And when I was honest it was as if I was really peeing because of nervousness!
I know I will be scolded! I'm still ashamed of Kia because she's still touched by it.
I was about to open the door when someone opened it first and we collided.
Shocks! The pain, ah! I'm unlucky today, I swear. I was caught in my head because of the hardness of my collision.
I looked annoyed at the person I had bumped into. I was surprised who it was. "Arki?" shocked and weak, I call him.
He's scrunching his nose. That's not cute!
To my surprise, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out. I think he really want me to lose my job.
Ma'am Emilia is already waiting there oh! "What?" annoyed and weakly I aksed him.
"I'm really going to get fired from this job, Arki. Just let me go." He was still holding my hand.
When he realized, he immediately let me go. He sneezed. "I'll be with you there," he promised.
My forehead furrowed. "Why? You might just get scolded. I can do it. I've been in this situation a few times so it's okay," I replied.
He pouted. "I know Aunt Emi, she's kind so you don't have to worry. One more thing, I explained to her what happened earlier."
He took my hand again. Aba! This is enough, ah! He pulled me away.
He opened the door and saw Kia sitting down and ma'am Emilia.
Kia frowned at me. No... she is not looking at me. She's looking Arki and me holding hands.
I let go of it so he looked at me. He was surprised at what I did. Chances are this man.
Ma'am Emilia sneezed and there I was back to reality. The shiver lingered in my chest again. I slowly walked over to the seat opposite Kia.
