Days keep changing, and now that my marriage has entered its fifth month, my marriage with Leon and Dominic is also doing very well. Leon and Dominic, who always give me attention and love to make my family feel warm. In fact, they both always support me, no matter what I’ve been doing. Yes, I opened a cake shop. I followed Leon and Dominic’s advice to open a cake shop.
I opened this cake shop only three or two months ago, but the visitors have also been very crowded. Even our parents were very supportive of me, and they also told me not to be too tired. I opened this cake shop with my own savings, not with the money that Leon or Dominic gave every month. I’d better save the money, in case there are other needs later.
As usual, every morning I will be assisted by three of my employees, and they also already know about what they are doing. Yes, at first, I patiently trained them. I wanted them to know how to make cakes, and I also told them the recipe. I believe that if they are my good employees and if one day they leave here and want to open a cake business using my recipe, I won’t mind at all, because I believe that God has arranged everything, including mate, sustenance, and life in this world. We know that life in this world will always revolve and will not always be on top.
Even I am aware. Now I live in luxury with everything I have, but maybe tomorrow it will just disappear. That’s why we live in this world not to be arrogant and live in this world to share with people who need it. I know there are still many people out there who have a harder life than me, where they are always trying to make money just to eat today, even though this is in a big city, so there are still many people struggling.
One of my employees called to wake me up from my reverie.
“Yes, Vera. What is it?” I asked.
Vira smiled, and she also took a seat beside me. Vira looked at me for a moment.
“After all, Miss, I’ve noticed that I was just daydreaming,” he said.
“Hmm, really?” I asked back, and Vira nodded her head.
“Yes, miss. Is the lady in trouble?” He looked at me seriously and asked
“No, Vira, it’s just that I’m tired,” I said, while Vira nodded. Vira also grabbed my palms and held them. He also told me if I was tired then I was told to just rest and they would work. I know they have mastered it, but I will still help them because I also don’t want to see them tired because we also have our respective parts, but I am very lucky to have employees like them.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Yes, I know Vira, but somehow I also have to keep working, and I also don’t want to see you guys tired while I’m just sitting comfortably,” I said smiling.
Vira just sighed and looked back at me. “Why is Miss so stubborn? “Even though you already know that you are tired, you still want to try to work,” said Vira.
I’m still smiling, and I’m also holding Vira’s shoulder gently. “Vira, you know one thing?” I asked and looked at Vira seriously as well.
“What is it, Miss?” he said.
“However, it is our exhaustion that drives us to success; we make significant sacrifices to achieve our success, which we obtained through hard work that not everyone, Vira, can endure.”One more thing, Vira: Don’t ever depend on men. While we can still do anything, do it and keep working. Even though we are married, we have to keep working, you know? Maybe in the future we will not know what will happen, but with us working, if one day the husband or whoever leaves us, we will still be able to live because of our independence. Sorry, Vira. Not that I pray for the bad, but we just anticipate because we know if we are not together forever, there will be separation. “Whether it’s joy or pain, I hope you remember what I said,” I said.
while Vira just nodded and also hugged me tightly. I know Vira is a woman who is innocent and kind. Vira is younger than me, and this Vira also has a passion for work. In fact, he also never made mistakes. I hope that in the future, Vira will live happily. After our long conversation, I told Vira to rejoin Teo and Nisa, who were busy with the buyers and Nisa, who made the cake. They were really very active and eager to work.
