Although Ann could be said to be late to work for approximately fifteen minutes, the boss who became the owner of the cafe is very able to understand and tolerate Ann's delay. Not without reason, it's just that the boss has also been on the lecture bench. So, more or less he understands very well what is felt by final semester students like Ann.
Upon Ann's arrival at the cafe, she was immediately told to stand guard at the cashier's desk. There was absolutely no scolding or reprimand coming out of the boss' mouth. At least Ann should be grateful and feel lucky because the boss is not too cruel.
After using the work apron, Ann is now behind the cashier table and began to receive coffee orders from her best friend — Lydia. First customer on Ann's shift.
"What message do you want?" Ann asked who managed to make Lidia look towards the menu list that was clearly displayed right in front of her.
"Latte art one, same cheese cake," replied Lydia without hesitation to tell her order.
"Would you pay cash or use a card?" Ask Ann again who is ready to receive payment from her friend.
"Pay using a friend's money can not?" Lydia was joking a little, as she grabbed the pink wallet that was inside her sling bag.
"Alright, please sit down," said Ann serious about things that initially only meant to joke.
Not yet had time for Lidia to take out her personal card from the wallet, Ann had first swiped her on the card machine at the cashier table. Seeing that could make Lydia surprised. Really, he had absolutely no intention of getting Ann to pay for her order.
"Do you pay?" Ask Lydia for an explanation.
"Make a pay, can use friends' money," Ann replied sounding relaxed.
"But, I was just kidding," said Lidia then placed her personal card on the cashier's table with an awkward smile.
Really, Lydia did not want to trouble or trouble her best friend. Over the years, Lidia knew Ann was still struggling with financial issues. So, if Ann makes it, it'll make Lydia feel guilty.
"I'm changing, right? It means your money" said Lydia, who received a rejection from Ann.
"Necessary. You can sit down now" said Ann sincerely paying orders from her friend.
With a doubtful step, as well as a view that could not be separated from the figure of Ann, Lydia was now heading towards the empty chair near the window. He will wait for his order while playing a personal hand-held phone. Who knows, this unpleasant feeling can be reduced.
No need to be made to wait too long, Ann who had finished preparing an order from the friend rushed to deliver it and present it to the table, where Lydia was.
"Thank you, Ann," Lydia said with a happy smile as she looked at the artistic image on top of her coffee.
"Please enjoy. For your information, it's my own coffee," Ann tried to boast of her latte art.
"It doesn't seem like much bad for an intern like me" he added, wanting to hear praise from Lydia.
"Wowws... Ann in bartender in here. Look so good, Ann. You made it to perfect" said Lidia honestly.
Upon hearing the expression, Ann, who could not hide her smile, rushed back to the counter, but as she was about to do so, Lydia unexpectedly stopped herself.
"Where are you going, Ann?" Asked Lydia who immediately got an answer.
"Back to work."
"Sit here first" Lidia's pint was brief.
"There's still a lot of work to take care of" Ann said, subtly declining a request from her best friend.
When the two of them were still engaged in the debate, the sound of bells purposely mounted on the corner of the entrance rang so clearly. Ann, who has been working part-time here for a year, immediately understood that this cafe was coming from a customer.
Knowing that, Ann also without hesitation began to give a welcome and welcome greeting to new customers. Surprised when he saw that the one who came to this cafe was Mr. Rega. Instantly a shy smile was painted on Ann's pretty face.
Due to getting customers, Ann rushes to go back to the back of the cash register. Now the beautiful girl who is only 23 years old is ready to accept orders from lecturers who have been stealing hearts. Yes, since the fourth semester, Ann began to feel in love at first sight to Pak Rega. A lecturer who was helping himself at that time, when a hit-and-run occurred. Arguably the fateful incident became the first meeting that was most difficult to forget by Ann. Always remember about Mr. Rega who looked worried and hurriedly carried himself to the nearest clinic.
"With Ann, here. Can I take the order?" Ann's question sounded full of excitement and cheer. Ann can also choose love. Why is it that when you accept Lydia as a customer, she doesn't seem excited at all?
"Have you finished your revision?" Ask Mr. Rega who asked me something else.
"It."
"Then do you want to go to chapter three?" Ask again.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Is it in the process?" Ask Mr. Rega who somehow managed to trigger a sense of annoyance from within Ann.
"Excuse me, sir! It's not that I refuse to answer, but now the timing is very inappropriate. I'm here to be a worker who is ready to take orders from the father" said Ann and immediately get a laugh from the lecturer.
"Sorry, sorry. I came here also because I wanted to order, but after seeing you so remembered the revision of the thesis. You know that I'm really hoping to get you through this year?" Said Mr. Rega feeling bad for making Ann wait for the order.
"So, what do you want to order?" Ann's question changed the direction of the conversation to what it should be.
"I**ce Americano one," finally Mr. Rega told his message.
"That's all?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"To be brought home or to drink here?" Ask Ann again.
"Bring you home."
Ann's fingers quickly danced over the tablet screen used on the cashier's desk. After recording all the orders from Mr. Rega, Ann immediately asked back.
"Do you want to make cash or card payments?" Ask Ann.
"Cash it. How much total?"
"35 thousand only, sir," Ann said followed with a faint smile.
Not wanting to linger anymore, Mr. Rega immediately took out a wallet in his pants pocket, then began to pay a certain amount of money to Ann.
"You take it back, yes Ann," said Mr. Rega paying for a coffee order and strangely it could leave Ann confused.
"But, the money is right," said Ann did not realize that it was just a joke from Mr. Rega.
"A very old joke yes," somehow the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Joke gentlemen," added Mr. Rega admitted that the joke is less funny and too crisp.
"Oh, Mr. Rega is joking? Pardon me! Should I laugh now?" Ann asked who immediately got a forced smile from the lecturer.
"Prepare the coffee. I have to go home soon" said Mr. Rega still ashamed of his own behavior. The intention is to joke so that the atmosphere is more fluid, but it becomes even clumsy. That is why now Mr. Rega is more of a lecturer than a comedian.
