Time has shown two o'clock less than fifteen minutes. All employees at the restaurant where Flo works are on standby to welcome the arrival of a luxury yacht that takes tourists to dock one day on the island. The ship is not too big, but can accommodate passengers to a large number of people. Every two times a month, the ship will dock on the island and enjoy a one-day tour (one day trip) there. The restaurant where Flo works does establish cooperation with the cruise and the passengers will be facilitated fullboard meal at the restaurant during a tour on the island.

After the cruise ship docked at a dock not too far from the restaurant, the passengers scattered down and stormed the restaurant, where lunch was served buffet (prasmanan) for them.

With alacrity all waiter and waitress serve the tourists cruise there.

"Flo, you serve our VVIP!" the Goddess orders, assigning Flo to serve one of the important guests of the yacht.

The VIP was none other than the captain of the yacht, who also always went down to rest and lunch at the restaurant where he worked.

"And remember, serve him well. Don't make any mistakes! If there is a problem, then get ready you will lose your job!" resolute Goddess with little threat.

"Okay, Miss Goddess!" sahut Flo without refuting.

Not long after, among the throngs of cruise ship passengers who were starting to enjoy their lunch, a middle-aged man was seen descending from the top of the cruise. With the black white uniform characteristic of a ship captain, the man stepped fully authoritatively into the restaurant area.

"Welcome back to our restaurant, Capt!" welcome the Goddess bowing respectfully.

The captain of the ship just nodded his head and smiled amiably. With a steady step he headed towards the VIP table shown by the Goddess.

"Welcome, Capt. Please sit!" welcome Flo friendly.

Beside the VIP table, Flo was also on standby to serve the captain of the ship and rushed to pull the seat to be occupied by the captain of the ship which was quite respected there.

"Thank you."

The captain sat in his chair and kept a friendly smile to anyone he met there including all restaurant employees who knew him very well.

"Please drink the list, Capt!" tawar Flo's.

After placing the napkin on the captain's lap, Flood placed a list of drinks in front of him.

The captain of the ship did not immediately reach for the menu, but his eyes kept on Flo.

"Are you a new employee here?" ask him politely to Flo.

"Rubber, Capt. I've only been working here for a few weeks" Flo said, bowing respectfully.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Floretta, Capt. Commonly called Flo."

"You're a crossbreed, huh? Your face looks more like a bule?"

"Yes, Capt. My papa is indigenous while my mama is Belgian."

The captain of the ship nodded his head. He was a little surprised to see a descendant willing to work only as a waitress at the restaurant.

"I'm Captain Genta. I often take tourists to this island who sail on the cruise where I work." The captain of the ship, who claimed to be named Genta, extended his hand to Flo and was also greeted kindly by Flo.

Until the cruise passenger's lunch was finished, Flo successfully served all the food ranging from appetizer to dessert very well for Captain Genta. As captain of the ship, Genta received special treatment there. The food menu is specially made for her, and is served in a set menu.

Captain Genta also looks happy with Flo's service is very deft and always smiles kindly to him.

"Fw! Here you are!" the Goddess shouted when she saw Flo just carrying a plate that she had clear up from the top of Captain Genta's table.

"About you successfully serving Captain Genta, you don't feel happy just yet! And you also do not need to be a cocky, pretentious, looking for the attention of Captain Genta. Work here must be professional no need to show off physically!" hardik Goddess against Flo. From the sentence spoken by the Goddess at that time, it could be captured a jealous tone.

"Captain Genta is old, already has a wife and children. So, you don't have to be weird in front of him!" said the goddess benada ketus, with one end of her lips raised.

Flo only shook his head at the ravings of the Goddess who rebuked him. It was possible that he was envious when he saw Captain Genta who looked like he greatly admired Flo's figure. In fact, Flo himself has no intention to seek the attention of Captain Genta who does not look young anymore and deserves to be his father alone. However, the appearance of Captain Genta still has its own charisma for everyone, especially the female employees at the restaurant.

"Don't beat up her babble about Grandma Drops, Flo. He was always jealous of all the girls here. Understand that the Goddess is an old virgin. Jablay kakap class.." sentil a waiter sneered. Waiter felt uncomfortable hearing what the Goddess said, and as if pitched the accusation against Flo. However, Flo only smiled smirkingly, not wanting to respond too much.

Flo again approached Captain Genta's desk with a round tray (round tray) in his hand containing a cup of coffee.

"Please coffee, Capt." Flo lifted the coffee cup from the tray and was about to serve it to Captain Genta. However, at the same time, he suddenly felt his head dizzy again and his gaze twitched.

Praang!

"Aawws!"

The cup fell out of Flo's hand and no hot coffee hit Captain Genta. He immediately grimaced when he felt the heat of the coffee hit his hand.

Brugh!

Simultaneously, Flo's body collapsed onto the restaurant floor and his eyes closed in unconsciousness.

"God! What happened to you, Flo!"

Captain Genta hurriedly lifted Flo's already limp back.

"This girl fainted. Let's get him to the clinic!" Captain Genta calls another employee at the restaurant to help Flo.

The atmosphere suddenly tense up at that place. All eyes turned towards Flo and Captain Genta.

"Basic ganjen! Right did I say what....?! look beautiful, just get the girl's attention!" sirik Dewi, when he saw everyone swarming Flo and crowded raised his body to be taken to a clinic not far from the restaurant.

.

"Please check this girl out, Doc. It seemed like he was exhausted so he fainted like this!"

Captain Genta accompanied Flo to the clinic and made sure that Flo immediately got good treatment there.

"Good, Capt. Please wait a moment, we will deal with the patient immediately." The doctor closed the door to the IGD room to check for Flo.

A few minutes later, the doctor was seen coming out of the IGD room and rushed to Captain Genta who was still sitting waiting in the waiting room.

"How, Doc. Is the girl conscious?" asked Captain Genta impatiently to know Flo's condition.

"Already, Capt. The girl seemed exhausted. She forced herself too much to work when she was pregnant right now" the doctor said.

"containing?" Captain Genta raised one end of his brow and his forehead wrinkled.

"So, the girl is married? It's too late that her husband let her work while she was pregnant." Captain Genta shook his head. There was a sense of pity that he immediately felt towards Flo. She thought that Flo must have been in so much need of living expenses that her husband could have let her keep working while she was pregnant.

"To our knowledge, Flo wasn't married, Capt. He had only been around a month living on this island with his brother," said Sinta who also accompanied Captain Genta brought Flo to the clinic when he collapsed earlier.
