14. He's a decent man

"What can I do to assist, Zahra?" as soon as Joon heard his lover's complaint, he responded.

"I initially spoke with Mrs. Ari. Try to find someone aware of the news presently," said Zahra.

When Mrs. Tatik noticed her daughter and Joon were having a serious conversation from a distance, she approached them.

"What is the issue?" Mrs. Tatik questioned the pair. But Joon was the one who responded to Mrs. Tatik's query because Zahra was speaking to her customer.

"Auntie, the products you wish to send are still not here. Zahra is attempting to get in touch with the sender of this message," added Joon.

When Mrs. Tatik heard what the simple boy had to say, she nodded in agreement. They both observed what Zahra had done in his final conversation with his client.

"How are you?" Ms. Tatik enquired.

Zahra said when speaking to Mr. Nano, "Here I have been given the number of the driver that delivered the groceries, Ma'am."

"Good day, Mr. Nano. Who is the driver, Mrs. Ari? When her call was connected", Zahra questioned.

"It is, yes. Who are you?" asked Mr. Nano.

"From where have you come? Why hasn't it yet arrived at my house? In an agitated tone," Zahra questioned.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zahra. This is a congested road. I've arrived in Magelang. Miss Zahra, are you there yet?" Mr. Nano answered.

"The quick one, please. Please move as quickly as you can; I'm waiting for this latter export shipment as well. This has major significance. Okay, sir? I'm grateful," stated Zahra.

"Good, Miss," said Mr. Nano.

Zahra put her phone away.

"How is Zahra doing?" Joon queried.

"Magelang is already in charge. Let's wait for now. You don't go home just yet, Joon; later. Please assist me in making up the time I need to prepare everything," said Zahra.

With his trademark smile, Joon responded, "sure, I help you to finish."

This made the Korean man even more attractive.

Zahra said, "Thanks," flashing a smile that was undoubtedly no less charming.

"You guys are this, Hayo. There is a mother, as you may know," said Mrs. Tatik, who could see the two teenagers grinning at one another right in front of her eyes.

Zahra grinned as she turned to face her mother.

"Nothing, ma'am," Zea replied.

Mrs. Tatik shook her head and gave her daughter a long look.

The much-anticipated truck finally arrived after two hours of waiting.

Do everything necessary to deliver the items using containers as soon as possible, no later than 7 a.m.

As it was getting late in the day, Zahra urged her mother to head home right away so she could wash and rest. Mrs. Tatik objected, though. Mrs. Tatik is concerned about leaving her daughter alone with Joon in addition to her continued desire to assist.

If you still want to be here, I have, so yes. Mom simply reclines, yep. You are no longer required to assist. Zahra remarked, "I don't want mom to get exhausted."

Mrs. Tatik didn't agree until Zahra made the suggestion.

Zahra said, "Mom, there's a mattress in that room."

"At this point, all you do is concentrate on getting the work done swiftly. You don't need to worry about your mother too much," Mrs. Tatik advised.

Zahra likewise nodded before rapidly completing her task.

Everything is finished by eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone can already start to breathe more easily.

"Joon... many thanks, yeah. You've offered to assist me," Zahra said.

"Thank you, Zahra. Please let me know if you need help; I'll be right here," Joon answered.

Zahra grinned and nodded.

"However, Joon, I haven't been able to offer you much of your pay. It's just a little cash for lunch, "Giving some of the ones from her handbag," Zahra remarked.

"No. I do not desire Zahra. I'm not in it for the money," Joon declined.

"Be less Joonlike. I won't need your assistance any longer if you don't want to accept this time, "Zahra remarked. Joon is coerced by the girl into accepting money from her.

"Just accept it as is. As Son Joon remarked previously, true Zahra. She won't ask for your assistance in the future if you choose not to," Mrs. Tatik said, supporting her daughter's remarks.

Joon let out a long sigh before exhaling forcefully. The man's forced acceptance of money from Zahra was evident.

"Yes. Okay. I recognize your mother and you are forceful, " said he.

Both Zahra and her mother grinned.

"Okay. It's all over. Ma'am, let's go home now," I invited Zahra.

They left the location.

"Someone, I think, sells skewers. Joon is a sucker for satay, isn't he? Mom,?" Zahra enquired.

"Satay?" Joon inquired while frowning.

"Buy!" calling for the skewer, Zahra shouted.

"Have you recently eaten?" the skewerer began cooking the satay in front of the three of them, and Zahra questioned.

"Satay. Oh, never." Joon commented after viewing and then recalling how it once was.

Both Zahra and her mom grinned.

"It's fine, Mom goes home first. We'll have skewers later, at home. Joon, tell me how you bring mum home first. Zahra said, "I'm waiting for the satay to be cooked."

Joon was ready. They first made their way together a few hundred meters back from Zahra's workplace to Mrs. Tatik's house.

Satay has already been prepared. Zahra arrived at her house. The dining room is already filled with cocktails that are very alluring to sample.

"Ma'am, who created this drink?" Zahra enquired.

"Mom just took a shower. Already on the dinner table is this. Yes, Joon made that clear. Mom didn't inform her either, so I'm not sure," Mrs. Tatik responded.

Zahra shook her head and uttered, "Ooo."

"Then what? Where is it now, Joon, Ma'am? Has he not already returned home?" Zahra enquired.

"Still not. He's in the shower," Mrs. Tatik responded.

"I see. Good. Do you want to take a shower in the outdoor restroom, Mom? Zahra then took a shower indoors, sure. Mom does indeed eat first. It has to be ravenously hungry. Indeed, ma'am," said Zahra.

Mrs. Tatik agreed, not wanting to fight too much with her daughter. Even though he was still awaiting the conclusion of Joon and Zahra's shower.

Joon met the finished Joon by saying, "Auntie."

Mrs. Tatik grinned as she turned to face Joon.

"Yes, it is perfect. It's a T-shirt featuring Zahra, her older brother," explained Mrs. Tatik.

"So is Zahra's actual older brother? Now, where is it?" Joon queried.

"He has left town. It has already been discussed and doesn't need to be. Now let's sample the skewers. I'm not sure if it's delicious," Mrs. Tatik responded. She was hesitant to provide more intimate details about his family to Joon.

"Auntie, Zahra's home now?" Joon inquired after observing that a skewer was already on the table.

"Yes, I've just taken a shower," Mrs. Tatik answered.

I simply waited for Zahra to finish her auntie. If he eats alone, feel sorry for him later," Joon remarked.

Despite being Korean, it appears that this child behaves in a manner more typical of Indonesians, according to Mrs. Tatik.

"Ok. Zahra questioned just now. who created this beverage. You're also adept at cooking, right?" Mrs. Tatik stated.

"No, Mom, I'm not a good cook. I've been making drinks just so far using ingredients from the kitchen. With a smirk on his lips, Joon continued," I hope you love it.

Zahra, who had just finished her shower, said "Hello."

"You know, mom still hasn't eaten. Joon? Also, you haven't? How did it go with the waiting for me?" Zahra enquired.

Zahra, who has been famished ever since, said, "Let's eat immediately then."

"First, pray," Mrs. Tatik advised.

Joon simply joined the moment of quiet without uttering any prayers.

Call out to Mrs. Tatik, "Come on."

They ate voraciously. After eating, Zahra cleared the table of the leftover food as well as the utensils and dirty glasses.

"I'll support you," Joon said.

"You're not required to Joon. Simply take a break," Zahra said.

Still, Joon did what he could to assist.

Joon didn't say farewell until everything was over before making his way back to Mrs. Woro's inn.

It was already nighttime, so Zahra said, "Ma'am, let's go to bed."

"Zahra. Mom wants to talk for a long about something, "Mrs. Tatik stated."

Zahra, who had been exhausted since just now, was only able to nod in agreement.

"Ma'am, what else is there?" Zahra enquire.

With a slender smile, Mrs. Tatik patted her daughter on the shoulder and said, "Mom, look, Joon's a good man."

At her mother's remarks, Zahra grinned.

Mrs. Tatik said, "If he is really serious about you, teach him gradually about our religion."

Zahra continued to look at her mother for a few seconds until tears started to appear in both of her eyes.

He said, "Ma'am, Zahra tries to talk to Joon first."

Mrs. Tatik nodded as well, telling her daughter to go to the room so she could get some rest since she needed to get things out right away in the morning.

Zahra hugged her mother's frail body and whispered, "Thanks, ma'am."

"Thank you so much. No need to cry already. There, hasten to bed! Recall not to stay up too late "As she patted her daughter on the back, Mrs. Tatik added. He had no idea that his daughter would end up dating a Korean.
