A scene

God! Please help my Levi get the job. I beseech you! A middle aged woman was praying hard closing her eyes mumbling in her lips.

Lavi Mother! It was burning! A voice came loudly.

Oh no! I'm such a scatterbrain. What to do? I can't sell this. Soli frowned turning off the gas stove.

What a waste! Where is your mind. Holland yanked. Are you going to throw that? He added putting a mischievous smile.

What can I do? I'll lose my regular customers if I sell this. Soli said.

Don't worry. Give it to me instead of tossing away. I'll have it. Holland said rubbing his knuckles slightly.

Oh my God! Soli glare at Holland pitifully. What will you do with all your money? You have a job, a house and your son works at a big firm. Go and have a proper meal! Why do you always scrimp and save at every turn.

It's my own decision. Don't bother! Holland said lazily.

"Hello". A sweet greeted Holland and Soli from the door.

Oh! Silvia. You are getting prettier day by day. Holland greeted back.

I'm always been pretty Uncle! Silvia said confidently flipping her hair back with a wide smile.

Okay! I will head now. See you, Silvia. Holland said and walked away. He halted his step suddenly and turned to Soli. " Levi Mother, I'll come and pick that up on my way home. So, pack it up for me". Holland said with a grin face.

This man is so stingy! He can't even take his own money to his grave. Soli mutters annoyingly.

Mom, I will go for class. Silvia informed her mother.

Okay! Don't stay late. Soli said staring at her duaghter.

Yes! Silvia Has your sister called? Soli asked curiously.

Not yet. She has to do presentation and an interview so it might take a while. Don't worry! She will call you when she is over. Silvia said putting her lipstick.

Okay! Go now. Soli waved her duaghter to walked out quickly. Gosh! I also want to stay here long. Silvia snapped and walked out furiously.

This girl temper ! Soli mumbled looking at her Duaghter disappearing back. At that moment Soli phone ring. It's Levi! She widened her eyes before She picked her call.

Levi! Soli called her duaghter sweetly.

Yes Mom. I just came out.

How is it? Did you do well?

The presentation went well but who knows.

Don't think too much. You will get it. Soli encouraged her Daughter.

I hope so. Mom, I will come little bit late today. I have other important engagement. So, let's talk nicely when I reached home.

Okay! Soli hung up the call.

*******

Levi scanned her looks looking at a mirror tying her hair in ponytail. You can do it! Levi said to her mind. She took a tight grip to her bag and walked inside a cafe approaching a table.

So, You were recently in a relationship? I don't dwell on the past what matters is the present. A woman said tucking her hair strains behind her ears.

Actually that....I .... The guy stutters.

Feel free to say! We must be open if we are to get married. But your mother said you broke up with her.

In that moment a loud slap was flung into guy face startling all the people in the cafe.

That was it? You called me so I would see this? Levi said in tremble voice.

Who is it? The Woman asked at the guy looking around in shock.

Tell her! Who am I? Why can't you just just dumped me? Levi shouted wiping her tears.

Is she crazy? Stop her. The woman said gritting her teeth to the guys who sat in drumbstruck expression.

Please calm down! The guy said but Levi cut in with a sharp voice. How can I be calm and poised like you when I am about to be the heroine of a tragic love story? Levi said clenching her chests.

A guy standing at the counter was stunned looking at the scene. He took his phone out from his pocket when he heard his own ringtone recognising it. "Hello". What's the matter Gambir?

Sir, About the listed candidate. we need your sign. When are you coming back to office. Gambir asked.

Thank you! He said to the waiter keeping his phone aside from his ear for a second taking his coffee cup with his left free hand. Yes Gambir! He connected the call walking out towards the door. He took a slight glance at the woman who was crying pitifully passing the table.
