...FREE ONE PORTION DIMSUM/CHOIPAN ...

...FOR THE FIRST 25 VISITORS WITH A MINIMUM ORDER OF 3 FOOD MENUS...

...(.(.ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO EAT ON THE SPOT)...

The poster was posted on social media on behalf of Halcyon and personal accounts belonging to Jayden, Joanne, and Thomas in order to reopen the Tanjaya family restaurant. They also put up a large billboard with a similar sentence on the roadside— in front of the restaurant. That's why Halcyon is so crowded. Its visitors are dominated by Joanne's college friends.

"Thank you, Jo," said Deasy—friend Joanne since the blue white age. "Don't wear the show cover-up again, yeah. Bokap nyokap said that night ntar want to come here too. Kangen equal Halcyon crab asparagus soup."

"Sip, go!" Joanne thumbs up.

Only family and people who are really close—Zevanna is exception—who know the real reason Halcyon closed. The rest of them thought that Tanjaya's family no longer continued the business after the wife of the owner died.

Back in the kitchen, Joanne takes the initiative to wash the dirty dishes that were piling up. However, just now standing in front of the sink, his shoulder was first pulled back.

"Why are you?" jayden asked.

"Washing dishes. After all, no one has come yet." Joanne realizes that between her, Papa, and her brother, she is the lightest job.

"No. Your job is in front. Keep the cashier the same as nganter food. What if there's a thief?"

The girl clucked. "It looks from here." The index point leads to a large window that separates the kitchen and the front of the restaurant.

"No, yes, no. We've arranged the division of duties, Jo."

"But Koko and Papa are tired. Since the open comes 'once."

"Gue is not tired. Go in the trash can and I can still."

Hendri who was sitting down chuckled at the joke of his eldest son.

"About!" Joanne punched Jayden in the arm.

"Udah there. No, someone's coming." Jayden turned his head, peeking at who the visitor was this time through the door. Then, as soon as he knew, he proposed that he should serve. While Joanne rushed to the cashier's table because someone wanted to pay.

"Aahhh, how come the hell? I want to be served with Joanne. Replace, replace." Thomas—people who have just come—with Indra and some of his office friends shake hands with the aim of expelling.

Instead of responding, Jayden chose to turn to Indra. "Please choose, Bang," he said, handing over a menu list and a small book to record orders.

Indra chuckles. "Dine, Bro. It's I still get free choipan right, huh?"

"Still, Bang. Just calm down."

"Geek!" Indra also wrote down the desired food, then asked one by one his friends, except Thomas who was still frowning.

"Anjiyrrrrr! I'm really not considered," Thomas said when Indra handed the note to Jayden, instead of passing it to him. "Fried rice lapciong, Jay!" before his friend vanished from sight.

While Jayden and Hendri were busy preparing the dish, a young woman entered the restaurant. Joanne got up and walked over. The girl greeted with a friendly smile as she handed over the menu. Which is only answered with a small nod

Joanne waited long enough. Several times he exhaled an irritated breath, a sign of his patience beginning to thin out. But presumably, the woman before him was completely unaware of it.

Don't not be able to read. Or mute?

Joanne cleared her throat before saying, "Sorry ...."

"Old Sorry, I just want to know what the menu is at this restaurant."

"Hm ...." Joanne nodded.

"Gue read in front there's a free menu."

"Yes. If you order three menus can be dimsum or choipan for free."

"If you order six, get two free servings, dong?"

The soft, discordant rarity escaped Joanne's lips. Appearance can be trendy, but the stomach affairs like the free. Weepy! He is not out of thought with people who have a prestige as high as the sky. "I'm sorry I can't, brother. Restaurants count them by head, not by every multiple of the order."

Joanne clenched her teeth. Patience, patience. He should not be carried away by emotions, even though emotions continue to try to stick out. "Well, how are you, brother? We sell, not alms. If you want a lot of free, you can find another place."

"Lo think I'm here to beg you?" The woman's voice rose half an octave and seized the attention of other visitors, including Thomas.

The man gave the code to Joanne, who was only answered with a thumbs up. Signs that the girl is no problem.

"I'm just giving you a suggestion, brother."

The woman snorted cynically before writing down her order. That's a lot for one person. However, Joanne understands, that visitors to this one restaurant is only giving validation that he is a person who is quite capable.

"That's very nice, anyway!" The girl blew up her emotions as soon as she arrived in the kitchen.

"Why?" reply Jayden while taking over the order notes to be cooked.

"This message is sweet!" Joanne pointed at the paper in Jayden's hand. "Lo himself will digress. I'm males! Hye!" he said, then passed with a jolting step.

Jayden thought his sister was just being sensitive because she was tired. But, as soon as he saw who it was, he agreed with Joanne.

That woman who said it sucks was Priscilla. His smile was wide-eyed, inexplicably looking different in Jayden's eyes.

"Hello, Jay. Long time no see" Priscilla said as Jayden put one meal at a time.

"Your Order. Enjoy it."

And, even Priscilla's crisp laughter was unavoidable. "Don't be stiff, ah! Sit down here first. I eat."

Behind the cashier's desk, Joanne's eyes squeaked. Anjir, Koko knows that girl? He wanted to take a plastic bag in his desk drawer to hold his vomit.

"I'm at work." Jayden doesn't care

"Still bemused."

"I mean?"

Priscilla stood up, and she said, "His intention is to come here to eat. But, from earlier his servant judges very much. Make tastes disappear. Arrogant too. In fact, the menu is also fairly ordinary." His eyes glanced at the food that had been served.

"Priscilla!" jayden said with great emphasis.

"Yes, yes, I paid, really. Just calm. Twice if you need to. But, do not be surprised if later this restaurant rating dropped dramatically on the internet."

"no need. You don't have to pay for all this food." Jayden replied to the cold mockery implied on Priscilla's face.

"Why? Afraid of visitors running away?" Priscilla's hand folded over her chest. A sniffle was painted on his lips.

"Rather than the money you used to pay for these foods, you better use it for ethics tutoring. I've always tried to give my best to every visitor here, but you're instead talking nonsense like just now." Jayden pointed at the exit. "Please out. I only serve people who can respect others."

Expelled so blatantly, Priscilla's face was red. Not to mention the gazes of all the visitors who were interspersed with mocking laughter. Some of them also recorded it, seeing their phones held high. Finally, Priscilla decided to leave.

Within hours, a video of Priscilla's fury had circulated on one of the social media platforms. And, the woman turned out not to mess about her actions in making ugly Halcyon name. Many accounts give a one-star rating for very far-fetched reasons. Make Hendri's head dizzy instead of playing.

It's only the first day the restaurant opens, and tomorrow they're still holding a promo. But, because of one person he didn't even know, Halcyon's good name became a bet.

"Papa don't worry. Today's problem didn't settle long." Jayden, who had just finished washing dishes, approached his father.

"We have spent a lot of capital. Don't let the old failures repeat themselves." Worries were evident on the middle-aged man's face.

"No will. Pa, trust me. Everything's gonna be okay." Jayden reassured.

Hendri dived into his son's black eyes. Seek a beam of strength to be sure that everything will remain good. "Yes, Jay." An answer finally came out.

Jayden smiled happily. "If so, we go home now because tomorrow is no less crowded than today."

Hendri.

While his father bailed to go to the bathroom, Jayden opened his phone which was taken off all day. He wanted to see Priscilla's humiliating video as well as the reaction of netizens. However, a notification that was at the bottom made him forget his intentions.
