Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 57 New Cafe in the Office
“Night, pa.”, greet Dinda as soon as she gets home. He was surprised because usually papa (Kuswan) was on the front porch of the house after Dinda worked. Usually, if it was night, Kuswan was already on television watching with Inggit.
“Night, darling. Just come home?”, asked Kuswan a little alkaline - stale. Despite living in this house for several months, Dinda still finds it difficult to communicate with Kuswan if only the two of them.
Unlike the cherry-picked Inggit, Kuswan is more calm and assertive. The conversation is always heavy. So, Dinda who is still young is difficult to be able to just chat with Kuswan.
“Iya, pa.”, Dinda replied briefly.
“Sini sat down for a while.”, take Kuswan with you while showing him one empty seat next to him.
Dinda hesitated a bit - hesitating but still smiling and sitting next to Kuswan.
“Where in the office? Safe?”, asked Kuswan.
“It looks like Arya is handling her job well, Pa.”, replied Dinda.
“I mean papa, you. How about at the office?”, asked Kuswan again.
“Ooh.. well - fine, Pa. It has been almost 8 months, so it has been able to adapt well and know many people.”, replied Dinda enthusiastically.
“Hm..You like the job now?”, asked Kuswan again.
“Iya pa. Like. Yes, although sometimes difficult, but many office colleagues who help. Boss Dinda is also good.”, replied Dinda again excitedly.
“H.. Arya?”
“Hm. not pa. But Mr. Erick his name is. He's Dinda's boss in the office. Kalo mas Arya, usually only limited to signatures only if in the division Dinda.”
“What is your relationship with Arya? All right?”, asked Kuswan. Actually, the question was just a base - stale. The real question she wanted to give Dinda was about their married life.
“Well, pa.”, replied Dinda. Although Dinda said that, Kuswan could clearly see that something was wrong from the look on his face. Unlike when recounting his work, Dinda's tone, the look on her face, and the sighing were cold and sad.
“Papa knows, papa and mama ask very much from you. Arya with her past and you who are still like white paper. Papa hopes, Arya didn't hurt your feelings. If he does, you can tell papa and mama. You are now also our daughter.”, Kuswan stared in his daughter-in-law.
“Papa know, it is not easy to be the wife of someone who has been married. You'll feel like there's something you don't know about it. The shadow of the woman who once filled her heart and unconsciously you compare it.”, continued Kuswan again.
“Din, trust in papa. Although Arya is a hard and sometimes difficult son to understand, but papa knows that all the decisions he takes must go through long consideration and with commitment. Including the decision to marry you. Papa and Mama may have suggested it, but Arya is not a man to drive. Never compare yourself and feel small. You are his wife now.”, Kuswan said in a gentle tone.
Unknowingly, Dinda shed tears. Shadow - the shadow of his dispute with Arya these few days re-entered his mind.
“Ah.. You cry? Papa did not mean to make you cry, loh Dinda.”, Kuswan sounded very worried. She did not expect her daughter-in-law would cry with words. In fact, he had been picking and thinking about this sentence all day.
“Engga to pa. Dinda ga nangis. Thanks to pa. Honestly, actually Dinda is still confused how to start a conversation with papa. All this time in the house there was no figure of papa. Dinda's only three with Mommy and Arga. Dinda so feel have papa now.”
“Loh..ok new now. When papa came to your house at that time, papa already considered you a child papa.”, said Dinda.
“Papa apain Dinda, pa? How to cry so.”, finally the most cheerful appeared. Inggit had just come to bring some pieces of fruit to accompany Kuswan to enjoy the wind and night air.
“Engga kok ma.”, replied Dinda smiling.
“Anyhow, if Arya is weird - weird, you report to papa. Let papa omelin him.”
“Hehe.. Ready pa.”, said Dinda again smiling.
“Then Dinda entered first yes, pa. Ma.”, pamit Dinda.
“Oiya Din, Arya until when in Singapore.”
“Loh.. Arya didn't call?”, asked Inggit.
“A few days ago there was ma. But Dinda forgot to ask Arya when she came home. Later try Dinda ask ya ma.”
“Hm.. You guys are really good - okay, right?”, said Inggit.
Dinda did not answer and just smiled and then returned to say goodbye to rest.
*****
A bright morning atmosphere to enjoy a warm cup of coffee. Dimas Prasetya, a young entrepreneur who doubles as a lecturer at a Private university. He has just returned from the United States after resigning from his old job.
Dimas made a big decision after going through long consideration for more than 6 months. He quit his job at an IT company to build his own culinary business. In addition to the pleasure of assembling a PC, he is also very fond of cooking. After trying hard to create some of his own current menu, he tried to sell half his assets to open a franchise business in Indonesia.
A month ago, he finally decided to fly to Indonesia after selling his flat abroad. He started his business by building many connections since he was in America. Arriving in Indonesia, he just run the project.
Dimas managed to get some good places in several buildings to open his franchise business. About a week ago, Dimas managed to get an empty slot in an elite office area. He got the best place to open cafe + restaurant a la young executives.
Today became the day that she started the contract process and did some renovation planning for her third store. Two other stores he started two weeks ago and he has handed over to two managers who will run the store.
While the third store, Dimas wants him to run it as a form of healing when he is stressed by his routine of building a business and becoming a lecturer.
“Thank you very much. I hope it can be a new color in this building and certainly be the best place for office workers to meet, relax, and rest.”, dimas said after signing a lease contract letter in one of the elite offices that became his target.
Santer news that it is very difficult to get a competitive price in this office.
‘Oh... Dinda? Wasn't that the girl the other day, was it? She works here? Haha I guess he's still in college.’, Dimas' inner heart when he sees a familiar figure passing through the entrance gate of the office building to the elevator.
He laughed with some of his friends. He had a chain of 4-cup coffees in his hand.
‘Oh. pull.’, Inner Dimas in heart.
In office.
“Guys, he said there is a recent resto that just opened below. The menu is interesting, the price is friendly, and the place is cozy.”, said Andra, sipaling knows the universe. Even the TV reporter lost quickly to him. At least for the things that happen in the office.
“Which one is it? I don't see a new cafe or restaurant.”
“That's a lot, Momi.. Cafe Resto is another hit among corporate slaves. Mo meeting, mo eating, mo hanging out, mo vest. Ampe has my tagline. Doi just opened two branches but it has been a big hit among office workers.”, Andra explained.
“Belom so anyway. But the place will be similar - like a rich gini. Cafes, no. Resto, no. The bar is not either. Anyway nano - nano, plus really exciting he said meeting there. There is a quiet room as well. Nih see.”, Andra thrust her phone at another. He showed Momi's ig account to the children of the DD division.
“Against saying what the hell?”, asked Dinda while putting one cup of coffee on Erick's table and another on Rini's table. The other two were taken by Delina and Azis.
“Thanks.”, they said together.
“Ituloh him again talking new cafe below. You see ga?”, Andra thrust his phone at Dinda to show the girl.
“Engga. This rich man has seen it. But where is it?”, said Dinda when looking at the photo of the owner of Momi shown by Andra.
“See below. That person seems to have been.”, said Bryan.
“Engga. I think I've seen it somewhere else. But, yes you have.ga remember.”, said Dinda while continuing to sit in her chair intending to start work after lunch.
