In the afternoon, at Airin's house.
"I'm sorry, Rin. I've asked the boss, but he said he has not opened a new vacancy," said Sarah was not happy.
"It's okay, Sar. Maybe I have not paid permission to work there," said Airin resigned while developing a forced smile.
"Continue now what's your plan?" ask Sarah.
Airin shook his head, both of them were silent with their own thoughts. Airin seemed to be thinking hard, he couldn't possibly linger idle, he had to have income to make ends meet on his own.
"Hmm, I have an idea!" sarah broke the silence.
"What?"
"You open again a coffee shop left by your parents first, later you can sell food as well, while developing the same talent as your cooking hobby. And also, the location of the stall is near the project, I'm sure it will be a rame." Sarah sparked her idea with great enthusiasm.
"Oh, yes, that's exactly what you said! Why would I bother looking for a job, huh?" Airin chuckled small.
Airin is happy to finally get a glimmer of hope for his life, cooking is a hobby Airin since childhood, he also has talent in the field.
"Well, that's dong .. spirit! Tomorrow I go to work there, help you finish the shop," added Sarah who makes Airin more excited.

It took three days for Airin to prepare everything for his stall needs, and during that time Sarah continued to help him.
And now is the first day Airin is selling. Early in the morning with the spirit of 45 Airin opened his stall, hoping that the first day of this stall will be crowded with project workers who want breakfast.
Unfortunately, reality is not as good as expectations. This morning no project workers came to the Airin stall for breakfast, they prefer breakfast in another stall not far from the Airin place.
'Patience, Airin .. maybe they don't know your cooking yet, so no one stopped by here. All that requires Airin process, nothing instant.' Airin's monologue cheers on himself.
Airin sat alone in his stall, no matter how much he encouraged himself, still this fact made his mental fall.
"The black hat is one, Ma'am!" The voice was heard when Airin was already desperate.
Airin who was currently daydreaming immediately realized. "Yes, Mom, just a second," he said.
Gathering the spirit that still remains, Airin immediately rose to make the order of his first customer.
"This, Mas .. coffee." Airin put the glass he brought on the table.
"Yes, ma'am, thank you!" The man raised his face slightly.
"Mas Alvin, huh?" tegur Airin's.
Although he only met once, Airin still remembered the face of the man who gave him a ride that night.
The man named Alexi Alviano Rahadi looked at Airin questioningly, he did not remember who Airin was.
"Ehmm, maybe Mas has forgotten, I'm the one who gave you a ride that night." Airin reminded.
Alexi smiled faintly as he placed the coffee glass he had just wiped onto the table. "Oh."
"Mas remember?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Ehmm, do you work here? It's old?"
"Yes, it's only been a week" Alexi replied as necessary.
Airin sighed, this first customer was very irritable. Though Airin only meant to be friendly to customers, so as not to deter coming to this stall.
"Do you guys want breakfast?" Airin asked again, hoping the trade would sell.
Alexi did not reply, but the look in his eyes looked at Airin as if waiting for his next words.
"I have a vegetable lontong menu, yellow rice, same hodgepodge of the village." Airin offers a menu.
"Wait a minute, Mom." Airin went back to make Alexi's order.
A few minutes later Airin returned with a plate of hodgepodge in his hand. "Please, Mum."
Alexi nodded, he glanced at a hodgepodge that looked ordinary. The sauce was manual, not blended like the one in the restaurant.
'Uhmm, delicious too. Even the texture and taste are also distinctive, more delicious than the ones in the restaurant.' Alexi nodded after a bribe of the hodgepodge escaped into his throat..
Alexi also spent his breakfast voraciously, before he had never tasted eating food from the stalls around this project, maybe his tongue was not used to it, or indeed it tasted less good.
"Sir, here's the money" Alexi called as he placed a piece of red money on the table.
"Little money, Mas. I have no change yet" Airin said.
Alexi looked at it. "Yes, save it first. Return to pay for my breakfast tomorrow."
"Oh, that's it, Mas. Thanks!" Airin finally took the money.
Alexi, who no longer has any interest, left the Airin stall, and started working on the project.

During the day break, Sarah came to the Airin stall with her friends. Sarah promoted the Airin stall by saying Airin cuisine is very tasty.
"Where? Smoothly?" ask Sarah while helping Airin to serve food for customers to carry.
"Such alone, from the morning there was only one person coming. This afternoon is also not there, fortunately you come bring troops. Otherwise, yes nothing at all," Airin replied in a complaining tone.
"Patience, Airin. His name is also new, later will also be rame!" sarah said encouragingly.
Soon after, Alexi returned to the Airin for lunch. Sarah who saw it immediately approached, while showing an alluring smile.
"Eh, Mas Alvin? Want to have lunch here too?" ask Sarah as gently as possible to draw her attention.
"You? Why is it here?" Alexi frowned in wonder.
"Oh, this is my friend's shop. So yes I helped him have lunch here. What's Alvin gonna eat?"
"Oh so ...." Alexi nodded in understanding. "I order rice with fried chicken, same vegetable lodeh aja."
"Okay, wait a minute, Mom." Sarah went back to get Alexi's order.
"Rin, Airin .. Did you see that guy who was talking to me earlier? He's handsome, right?" cerocos Sarah patting Airin on the shoulder.
"That one? You know him?" Airin pointed towards Alexi.
"Yes, but don't point it out either, embarrassed to get caught!" Sarah hands down Airin, "His name is Alvin, he's the new foreman and the most handsome on the project. Now I'm the same PDKT as him, doain yes, Rin," added Sarah with her face red.
"Yes, I do'ain." Airin said slowly.
Sarah rushes to get orders for Alexi, she also takes food for herself, then returns to Alexi's desk.
"Mas Alvin, I can eat here, can I?" ask Sarah expectantly.
"Huh?"
"Eat together so, Mas ... time can't be anyway?" Sarah has a pouting face.
"Yes, please!" sahut Alexi.
Hearing that Sarah's smile broke, she immediately sat in front of Alexi with a flowery feeling. Alexi has been working here for a week, but only this time Sarah can eat with the man she likes.
Seriate.
Keep following it, yeah. Don't forget likes and comments too.
Thanks though.
