Duren Campus
The Cork and Screw Restaurant

Alex walks into the restaurant after giving his credit card to the security guard. Stroll down the chair to the empty-looking chairs and tables. At a long table that had six seats, Alex found his children with Abipraya and Mr. Didit. Seen Abipraya who waved a signal while saying quickly here. Alex sped up his pace, until he finally got to the table.

“what message are you Alex?” Abipraya asked as he held the menu open in his hand. Without answering Alex just took the menu and started reading one by one from the available menu. Alex waved at waitress/restaurant waitress. Then the waitress approached the table where Alex was.

“iya want to order yes sir?” Said the waiter, bowing.

“i order Cheese Platter one, AUS Striploin, Spinach Cream Soup and Organic Roast Chicken with Roast Vegetables and Potatoes. Drink five mineral waters, Mixed Juice two and Watermelon Juice one. Oh yeah don't forget to give me one babychair ya Mba.” Alex says pointing at Hendra.

“well sir, Is there any more order?” The waiter said, noting Alex's order on the restaurant's Tablet.

“Abi, Mr Didit want to order what?” Alex asked while glancing at the two of them accompanied by giving the Menu to Abipraya.

“i ordered Lady Germain one and Lobster Bique one portion” said Abipraya continued to give the Menu to Mr. Didit. The waiter listened, every word of his customer he recorded carefully.

Mr. Didit took the Menu that Abipraya gave him. He read one by one from the Menu book. He thought and wondered in his heart.

“what's this writing? Why is it so hard to read?” Mumbled Mr. Didit in heart. He also took his nearsighted glasses that were hanging on the chest buttons of his shirt. Sunglasses with brown lenses that he ordered at Tamrin City Optics. Reaching for the glasses, Mr. Didit immediately put on the glasses.

It turned out that it was not his eyes that were wrong but his brain was probably. This time he entered the restaurant. The menu was filled with English and Mr. Didit did not understand the foreign language at all. All he knew was Javanese, the language he used every day as a child, and the Indonesian he used to communicate every day. Even the Padang language, his wife's second language, he did not understand. Although the children and grandchildren of Mr. Didit understand the Padang language.

“bapak order nasi goreng only yes dek. Drink it has been ordered the same Alex sir earlier, mineral water or water.” Said Mr. Didit briefly.

“Indonesian Fried Rice with Seafood” Abipraya added.

“iya it!” Sahut Pak Didit while laughing.

Quickly the restaurant waiter continued by adding the note he wrote. For a moment, as fast as lightning seemed he had finished taking notes. Then the waiter repeats each of the aforementioned orders so that there are no misunderstandings.

“Alright I repeat yes sir. His Cheese Platter is one, his AUS Striploin is one, his Organic Roast Chicken with Roast Vegetables and Potatoes one, his Lobster Bique one, his Indonesian Fried Rice with his Seafood one. Drink five bottles of mineral water, Watermelon Juice one, Mixed Juice two and Lady Germain one. Complete and correct sir?” The waiter said confirm the restaurant's customer's order.

“iya is correct Mba.” Alex nodded.

“then I excuse you sir.”The servant said as he picked up all the Menu books lying on the table. After he stepped back and turned around leaving Alex's desk.

“Abi.” Alex calls Abipraya while rolling his eyeballs towards his three children.

“Oh yes okay.” Abipraya understood immediately. Alex's instructions were for Abipraya to smoke in the open and not to smoke near his three children. Given that Alex's children are young and underage. In order to give an example of not smoking, at least do not smoke next to them. After all, smoking can damage health, especially passive smokers or who inhale cigarette smoke itself without having to smoke.

Abipraya stood up and left his seat.

“Pak Abipraya where to go?” Ask Mr. Didit curious. Immediately Abipraya gave a signal by lifting a pack of cigarettes and coset in his hand. Mr. Didit understands now.

“oh yes, I follow yes Mr. Abi, I also want, I do not bring a stick hehehe.” Said Mr. Didit honest to smoke without capital to Abipraya. The man of original Balinese descent just nodded his head signaling to Mr. Didit. Then they both walked around looking for a place to smoke safely.

Alex lives with his three children. He began to invite play to his three children so as not to get bored waiting for orders that come. The servants who were watching Alex, sometimes they joined in smiling to see Alex's funny behavior in front of his three children.

Before long Abipraya and Mr. Didit came. They both finished smoking a cigarette. They occupied each other's seats exactly as they had left them. Then the restaurant waiter came by bringing the ordered food from them.

First, the maid placed Lady Germain and Lobster Bisque right in front of Abipraya. Mineral water is placed one in front of each person. Not to forget Hendra who changed his usual chair into a baby chair. The waiter continued by putting fried rice ordered by Mr. Didit. Then turn around to go take the next order.

Abipraya and Mr. Didit have not touched the food. Although both of their stomachs have started to make a rumbling sound. They're waiting for Alex's family order to have lunch together.

The waiter came back with a tray filled with several orders. This time the waiter brought Alex's order. Spinach Cream Soup and Watermelon Juice were placed in front of Hendra. Cheese Platter and Mixed Juice were placed in front of Indra. Organic Roast Chicken with Roast Vegetables and Potatoes and Mixed Juice were placed in front of Andra. AUS Striploin was placed in front of Alex.

“all complete already sir?” Ask the waiter. Now that comes is not Mba but Mas.

“Have deck, thank you deck. Tengkiyuuuuu..” Pak Didi replied. As if he knew all the orders. Orders alone he was confused to order. Hearing Mr. Didit's reply, Abipraya closed his mouth with his hands and chuckled.

“Already, all complete. Thank you.” Answer Alex concisely.

“ alright then I excuse you sir.” The man's servant said, taking a step back and turning around and leaving.

Alex with his children and his best friend and his personal chauffeur continued with a quiet lunch. Without being bothered by the fanatic fans of Alex. Everything looks delicious with dishes that fit their respective orders.
