Two years later....
"So now your Mama's cake shop is moving here and that's next to your house...."
"So the production kitchen," Beth answered quickly while arranging the cake into the showcase.
Yeah, it's been six months that Mama Tere's cake shop moved into a new shophouse. The location is now on the edge of the main road and does not enter the alley anymore. Although the structure is not too big, but at least this shophouse is already owned by itself and the location is also strategic.
"You've rarely seen or responded to my messages lately, Yv! Busy?" Ask Beth then to Yvone who is the first to visit Beth's new store.
Or Mama Tere's new store more precisely the one now run by Beth. Mama Tere decided to focus on overseeing the production kitchen only and for the store was already fully held and managed by Beth. There's one employee who helped Beth too.
"Yes! I'm busy with my work" replied Yvone, who had been busy circulating her eyes around every corner of the store.
"As marketing? Or maybe it has risen to the top of the marketing job."
"What's that?" Ask Beth who immediately made Yvone laugh and shake her head.
"I'm sorry, I'm blinded around the office world because my job is just a baker" Beth said, then who had turned to the cashier's desk, then checked the money in the cashier's drawer. Beth just makes sure that there is a change for the customer later.
"Buitcher only."
"I'm even jealous of you being good at making and decorating that cake, Beth," said Yvone, who now looks over the cake at the showcase. Yvone then points to a rollcake cut inside the showcase and codes Beth to retrieve it.
"Please!" Say Beth while tossing the cake to Yvone.
"By the way, you're looking after this shop yourself?" Yvone asked on the sidelines as the girl devoured the cake.
"Actually there is one employee who helps me because sometimes I will be busy working on customer order cake."
"But it looks like my employees didn't get in today" Beth said again, looking at her phone.
"It turned out!" Beth muttered after reading a message containing permission not to enter the work of his employees.
"Just what it is?" Guess Yvone who just made Beth nod.
"You want to accompany me?" Ask Beth hoping.
"Actually I want to. It's just that I have an event in a moment" Yvone said grimacing.
"Oh, no problem!"
"I'm used to it myself" said Beth, whose lips frowned slightly.
"I'm so good, yeah, Beth!" Said Yvone then who had finished the cake. The girl then handed Beth a note of money.
"No, Yv-"
"No! Just take! I don't want your shop to lose," Yvone insisted.
"Just one piece of cake and you're my friend! Holy jeez!"
"No! It's already! Just take!" Yvone slips her money forcefully into Beth's apron pocket.
"I'm so good, yeah!"
"Bye-"
"Yv!" Call Beth, who immediately turns Yvone around.
"What's? Want to ask about Reandra?" Guess Yvone knows.
"Is he still in the USA?" Ask Beth while grimacing.
"I don't know!" Yvone sniffed his shoulders like two years ago.
"I think you've moved on and met a better man, Beth! It's been two years!" Yvone said again staring in disbelief at Beth who even shook her head.
"Reandra still can't be reached yet when I'm still waiting for her these two years," I Beth muttered a little.
"Silly!" Yvone shook her head, and the girl came out of the store and did not say goodbye to Beth.
"What's wrong with hope? Maybe Reandra is my soul mate." Beth murmured to herself and her optimism seemed to have not disappeared. At the same time, the phone next to the cashier table suddenly rang. Beth picked him up immediately.
"Hello good afternoon!" Beth immediately greeted someone on the other end of the phone politely and spoke briefly. Apparently it was the customer who ordered the cake one week ago through Beth's social media account.
"Oh, so delivered this afternoon, huh? Alright!" Say Beth while reaching for a paper near the phone to record the address of the customer who immediately paid off the payment at the beginning of the booking.
"Alright, at four o'clock the cake will be delivered to the address. Good afternoon!" Shoot Beth along with the disconnected phone. Beth then read once again the address she had written on the paper earlier, before continuing to prepare the cake that she would later deliver.

Beth was just about to close the rolling door of her cake shop, when a middle-aged woman got out of the car and went straight to Beth.
"The shop's closed?" Asked the middle-aged woman whose face was a little unfamiliar.
"Already, Aunt...." Beth tried to remember the face of the woman in front of her.
"Aunty's aunt Sita, right?" Tukas Beth then who still forgot the name of the friend of Aunt Sita.
"Yes,"
"Eh, yes! Coincidentally want to take the cake to the customer and the employee is not coming in, Tan! So my store closed faster" Beth said.
"Aunty want to order cake? Or buy something that already exists?" Ask Beth then.
"You buy a rollcake actually because the aunt's husband asked to buy it earlier," said the middle-aged woman.
"Oh, jeez! Let Beth get it, Auntie...."
"Yumi," said the middle-aged woman introducing herself.
"Yes, Aunt Yumi."
"Geez! Sorry, Beth forgot, Auntie!" Said Beth while opening the door of the store that she had locked. Beth then invites Aunt Yumi to come in and Beth's hand deftly grabs the cake box to wrap the rollcake.
"Who do you want, Auntie?"
"All the flavors, yes! Each of the two slices," said aunt Yumi quickly while removing her wallet from the bag.
Beth immediately deftly stuffed all of Aunt Yumi's designated cakes into the box, then wrapped them neatly.
"Everything is one hundred and fifty thousand, Auntie," Beth said later.
"Pass!" Said Aunt Yumi while giving the right money to Beth.
"Thank you, Auntie," Beth said, nodding her head.
"Thank you for opening another shop for Auntie, Beth!" Reply Aunt Yumi while taking the cake that was wrapped by Beth.
"Aunty's coming home, yeah!" Pamit Aunt Yumi later.
"Yes, Auntie! Be careful!" Say Beth before then that fadus is a little tidying up the remaining cakes at the showcase.
After everything is done, Beth continues to close the store again and immediately slides into the address of the customer who ordered the cake for the anniversary this afternoon.
Beth did not ride the bike this time and chose to take an online taxi because the cake she would deliver was quite large and could not be transported by motorbike.
Although there is actually a papa Will car at home that is rarely used, Beth is more comfortable taking a taxi than having to drive herself. Yeah, unless there's a Timmy brother on vacation, usually Beth will ask her brother to be the driver.
Pingy!
Beth flinched a little, when a message came into her phone that turned out to be from.... Yvones!
[The adoration of your heart is home] - Yvone-
Beth immediately opened the photo sent by Yvone and the girl immediately gaped in disbelief because the photo turned out to be a photo of Reandra that Yvone took a little careless. But that was Reandra.
[Now where?] - Bethany-
Beth quickly sent a reply to Yvone and the girl was already impatiently waiting for Yvone to answer.
[I'm still at the hotel] - Yvone-
Beth just skimmed Yvone's message when it was instantly deleted by Yvone.
[I mean at work. Reandra stopped by here and said she wanted to go back to her house] - Yvone-Yvone
Beth immediately frowned with Yvone's message. Didn't he say Yvone was at the hotel. Now say at work.
So actually, where did Yvone meet Reandra? At hotels?
"Mom, it's here!" The words of the online taxi driver who drove Beth, immediately made Beth's daydreams disappear.
"Eh, yes!" Beth immediately puts her phone in her bag and doesn't answer Yvone's last message. The girl chose to immediately go down and take the cake that she would deliver to the house of her customers who turned out to be so magnificent like a palace.
"Wow!" Beth immediately muttered in awe as the girl stepped onto the tall iron fence towering in front of the house. There were all of them who welcomed Beth.
"I delivered a cake for today's event" said Beth who immediately conveyed her goal to security guard. Beth is immediately welcome to enter by security and escorted into the house.
Beth did not meet the host and there was only the maid who had met and showed Beth where she should put the cake she delivered. Beth also slightly retouch the cake that she delivered to make it look good and perfect. Finished doing his job, Beth immediately parted and came out of the magnificent house.
But when Beth just arrived on the terrace, a sports car had stopped in front of the terrace, making Beth pause to see who came. Is that maybe the host?
The car door was opened and a man Beth had been waiting for her to come home for two years, got out of the car with a bouquet of roses.
"Relina!" Beth reflexively exclaimed, which of course immediately made the man turn to Beth.
"Reandra! You're home yet?" Sapa Beth who immediately approached Reandra who looked frowned confused.
"Sorry, do we know each other?" Reandra asked, who immediately kept her distance from Beth, whose facial expression immediately turned disappointed.
Reandra forgot Beth?
