Punishment for Insulting Kirana

"You better go, this is not a place for ordinary people like you," insulted the manager.

Deg!

Kirana was constantly sad hearing the insult. She felt humiliated, as if people couldn't be at the same place where she is at. She realized that she was just a poor woman, but she felt the manager didn't have to say something rude to her.

"Are you still there? Still insist on eating here? Is your money enough to pay for food here?" the manager snidely asked.

"Sorry, Mom. I am indeed a poor. But you should be able to appreciate every guest who comes here. You'll regret doing this to me," Kirana said, trying to threaten the manager.

"You threatened me? Shame!" insulted the woman again.

"You absolutely are too over," Kirana said.

She was really fed up with the manager's attitude towards her. She directly took her cell phone then called Sopia. Only that woman could avenge the insult.

But unfortunately she did not pick up the phone. She was confused. And she tried again. She wished Sopia had accepted it, but there was no answer.

"Why? You want to lie to me? Do you want to be rich? Poor girl"

Hearing the humiliation, Kirana was extremely sad, her heart was hurt. She couldn't stand being in that place anymore. She left immediately, leaving the place full of disappointment.

Just about to get in the elevator, a call from Sopia came in. That woman called back. So Kirana immediately accepted it quickly.

"Hello, Grandma"

"What my granddaughter? Grandma was from the back garden. What's wrong? What happened?"

"The restaurant manager at the Grand Harrisa hotel kicked me out of the place, Grandma. They insulted me," Kirana said through tears.

Grandma Sopia who heard that, was surely upset. She sounded very angry across the phone.

"Okay, my granddaughter. Wait a minute. I'll call Rafael first to take care of everything.

Grandma Sopia hung up. Kirana took away her intention to leave. She was waiting for news from Grandma Sopia. She also wanted to teach a lesson to the arrogant manager.

A few moments later, the elevator in front of her opened. Someone came out. She was surprised to find out that it was Rafael. She constantly wiped away her tears.

"I got a call from grandma. Come on, come with me," Rafael pulled Kirana's hand. He immediately invited the woman to see the manager of the restaurant.

He was also very angry with the treatment of the manager who had insulted his future wife. Although it was all because of the grandmother's orders that he could not refuse.

Arriving inside the restaurant, he immediately looked for the arrogant manager. At the same time, the manager welcomed Rafael. Causeshe already knew the Haditama family, which is the richest family in Asia. Of course, they greatly appreciated Rafael for coming.

"So she is..."

"Yes, she is my future wife. What did you do to her?"

The manager was surprised knowing about it. She knows she's in trouble. Then she soon apologized to Rafael as well as to Kirana whom he had insulted.

"I'm sorry, sir. It's just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry," the manager said.

"Sorry? My family just bought this restaurant. So, now this restaurant belongs to the Haditama family. In other words, you are my subordinate."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I fired you from the manager's position," rafael said with a sharp stare. It was of course from the advice of the grandmother.

The manager constantly begged to not be fire from her job. The woman cried and begged to remain as an employee at the restaurant.

Seeing that, Kirana became compassionate. She also forgave the manager.

"Please Rafael, don't fire her," kirana asked.

"Don't you realize of what you're saying?" asked Rafael, annoyed. "She just insulted you, kicked you out, and even bullied you. Why are you defending him?"

"I'm sorry, Rafael," Kirana said quietly.

"I'm surprised. There are still people like you nowadays. Why then you have to defend her?"

"Please, I'll talk to grandma Sopia. Please!"

Rafael couldn't come up with Kirana's request. But he didn't want to let the manager go out withouth punishment.

"Okay, all right. I'm not going to fire you. But you are no longer taking that position. You can still work here, but as a waitress. If you don't agree, you can leave this place right now," Rafael said.

The manager had no other choice. She had to accept it if she wanted to work in that place. In the end, the manager accepted the decision.

After that, he immediately invited Kirana to sit on their bench. Both of them sat face to face. Rafael still looked annoyed, from the look on his face it was very obvious that his emotions had not subsided yet. Kirana did not dare to comment, cause of fear of getting a scold from Rafael.

"Next time, you don't have to be nice to the person who hurt you. Crime is rewarded with crime as well. Don't be too kind or worse, you will be trampled by them, "said Rafael.

"But I can't do that. I'm easy to pity people," Kirana said defensively.

"Oh my God. You are still thinking other people's feelings. Remember, there is no one who is truly genuine in this world. All masked, full of deceit and pretense. So, don't let you get caught up to people like that," Rafael warned Kiranawho's too.

"O..kay. Thank you."

Kirana was stunned to hearingrafael's maturity this time. He began to see the other side of the annoying man in his life.

"After all, people like that manager deserve to be punished. She forgot that she was an employee. It's not appropriate to treat guests differently. She even picks people who need to be respected. That's not the professional attitude of an employee," Rafael said.

Again Kirana was stunned by that sentence. She really didn't expect Rafael will say such a great thing.

"I understand now," Kirana said. "I'm sorry I'm bothering you again," she added.

"No, don't think about it. Without you doing that, you've troubled my life, note that," Rafael said.

Kirana felt guilty and sad to hear that. She had just admired Rafael because of his maturity, now the man is back tobe annoying.

"You are arrogant man. It hasn't changed yet," muttered Kirana, inwardly.

A few moments later, the waiter brought their order. Then put it on their table.

"Please, sir. Is there any more?" asked the waiter.

"That's enough. Thanks."

The waiter then left the place. Rafael then invited Kirana to eat the food. It was the first time she had tasted such an expensive food.

"Crazy, what's this food? It's very small, where it can be full. But the price is super expensive. Oh my god," muttered Kirana, inwardly.

Rafael looked at Kirana who was just glaring at the food.

"Why you look like that? You don't like it?"

"Oh, it's okay, I like it."

"Well, eat it then. Why you only see it."

"Yes, will eat it."

Kirana then enjoyed the food. It is very tasty and worth the price offered. In addition, the one that cooked it was a famous chef.

Sometime later, they had already finished eating and rushed away. Rafael takes Kirana to his apartment. This time, he droveKirana all the way to her room.

"Why all of sudden?" asked Kirana.

"Don't be too confident. I just want to make sure. Cause you reported it to Grandma earlier. He's being protective. I don't want to get into trouble because of you. Next time, call me. You don't have to report to Grandma. It sucks," rafael annoyed.

The elevator opened, they rushed out of the elevator. Because the floor was still slippery, Kirana accidentally stepped on the slippery floor, making her unbalanced.

Quickly, Rafael's hand immediately grabbed Kirana's body then it fell into her arms. Both of their eyes constantly stared at each other for a moment.
