A Handful of Love for You
34. Cafes

Atep POV

Finally I managed to also take Miss Alena to lunch together. That woman is very stubborn. It's hard to get a yes from her sexy lips.

Looks like I'm starting to dare to think of more things about Ms. Alena. I was too free of my brain to think anything about him.

I don't know why I dared to think about crazy things about Ms. Alena. Thoughts I never thought of before. I do love Teh Iyah but it seems like the taste I feel for Teh Iyah and the taste I now feel for Bu Alena is very much different.

Is my love for Teh Iyah not the love of a man for a woman? I love Teh Iyah but I never think of crazy things about Teh Iyah. I respect him as an older sister even if I admit that I love him as a grown man.

But my feelings for Ms. Alena are different from my feelings for Iyah tea. Against Ms. Alena I dared to think of crazy things that I had never thought of before. I also often dream of Miss Alena. Dreams that can make me wake up every night with a body full of sweat. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster.

I have to rearrange the contents in my heart. Now I am convinced that my love for Teh Iyah is only the love of a younger brother for his older sister. I love Teh Iyah because I've known her since I was a child. A sister's affection I misinterpreted as an adult man's affection. I will no longer misrepresent my love as a grown man. Mature Atep likes an Alena. I am so sure of how I feel now.

Tomorrow is the first time I'm going on a date with him. It's okay if I call it dating even though I don't know how Ms. Alena feels about me.

Drrr….

I saw the name Teh Iyah calling on my phone screen.

“Assalamualaikum, Tea?

“Waalaikumsalam.”

“What's up, Tea?” my many.

“Teteh just want to remind the Thanksgiving event on Saturday. You should come. If it does not come, Teteh will be angry with you,” threatened Teh Iyah.

“Siap Kanjeng Queen.”

“Do not forget also if later Teteh will introduce you with his sister A Endra. You know what Teteh meant by introducing you?”

“Iya.. but if we are not suitable do not force,”.

“Teteh will never force but Teteh is sure that you will fit. Teteh sure that you I like him. She is a good and godly woman. Fits your dream woman. You know me very well inside and out. Teteh will not plunge you by introducing women who are not good.” explainedTeh Iyah.

“We'll see later.”

“Oh yes, is there anyone you want to invite to the Thanksgiving event?” ask Teh Iyah.

“Can invite someone?” many doubt.

“Of course you can. Who would you like to invite?”

“Later will also tau.”

“Female?”

“Ya.”

“Kan Teteh said that Teteh wants to recognize you with his sister A Endra. You're why the hell? You didn't hear what Teteh said?” I heard the tone of Teh Iyah's voice rising.

“Ooh, that guidance counselor you said sucks it?”

“Now no longer sucks,” belaku.

“Good. Teteh also wants to meet with your supervisor. What's the guy like until you hate him?”

“Now I don't hate anymore. If you still hate it is impossible Atep invite.”

“Yes too anyway. Uh, her sister A Endra is also a lecturer at your college. Maybe he knows your supervisor.”

“Oh yes? What department lecturer?” manya curious.

“Ibuuuuu..” I heard the voice of Aras or Aris calling Teh Iyah.

“Eh, already yes Tep. That's Aras and Aris screaming. Assalamualaikum.”

Teh Iyah hung up the phone before I could return her greetings.

I became curious about Kagendra's sister. Teh Iyah said that she was also a lecturer at my college. If he's a lecturer at my college, who is he?

There are not many young female lecturers in my college. There are only two young female lecturers, the first is Ms. Syafrina and the second is Ms. Alena. It is impossible if Teh Iyah wants to introduce me to Miss Syafrina who is married and has just given birth. Miss Alena also seems impossible. Who her? Is he a lecturer from another department?

Uh, why can't it be Miss Alena? It's possible that Kagendra's sister was Ms. Alena.

Oh, by Saturday I will know who the woman I will be introduced to. The woman who has received the recognition and support of all the Teh Iyah families and perhaps Teh Iyah has told me and asked for support from my mother.

After receiving a call from Teh Iyah, I drove my retro bike to the cafe where tomorrow I and Ms. Alena will have lunch.

I want to prepare a special and special place and food for Ms. Alena.

The cafe where we are dating tomorrow is located in the north of Bandung with views of the mountains and downtown Bandung that looks like a stretch of colorful carpet.

It was a cafe built by my tears and sweat drops. Every dollar I collect to be able to build a simple cafe on the inheritance from my father.

Although it looks simple but the design of this cafe looks comfortable, especially for couples who do come to the cafe to enjoy a comfortable and soothing atmosphere.

Food made in this cafe is also high quality, cooked by professional chefs so that the price of each menu is slightly more expensive than food from cafes young people usually.

I am grateful that my cafe visitors have started so much. Maybe because the concept and scenery offered by this cafe is different from most cafes. In addition to following current trends, I also try to maintain the quality of service, food and drinks. In addition to maintaining the best quality, every weekend, my cafe presents live music with high-quality musicians for free.

If other young people's cafes offer western, Japanese, or Korean food that is currently present, the cafe here provides traditional culinary from all regions in Indonesia, especially from the parahyangan earth which is packaged in a contemporary manner.

Every weekend, I donate my golden voice on a small stage that is prepared for anyone who wants to sing. My cafe is often used by many men to propose to their partners. Just last week, a man asked me to sing on stage as a backsound when he was bidding on his girlfriend.

Later, I hope to propose to Ms. Alena here. Even I wish I could marry him and have a simple reception at my cafe.
