Slowly Arga paddled his bike, he began to reduce his speed after Pekak who was in front of him gave a code through the wave of his hand to stop and stop by one of the houses on the side of the road.
By guiding his bike Pekak took Arga and Riani into the spacious courtyard of the house that Riani knew the owner must be the one who was, it was visible from the shape and size of the house.
Pekak immediately pressed the doorbell next to the house.
after twice Pekak pressed the bell of the house, finally the door opened.
Behind the door appeared the middle-aged woman, politely she smiled and allowed the three of them to enter the house.
"Have you gone home yet?" pekak asked the middle-aged woman who was the maid in the house.
"Before you come home, let's sit down first, I'm sorry, to make a drink" replied Bibi invite them to wait for her master in the living room.
"Good Bi, thank you" replied Pekak.
"Thank you Bi..." Riani and Arga answered in unison.
After a few minutes, Bibi returned with a tray containing drinks and small meals.
Arriving in front of them, he immediately placed it on the table and served the drinks and small meals.
"Please enjoy, excuse me to go back"
"Yes Bi, please, again thank you..." Answer me again.
"Together, come..." Pamit Bibi, then she walked out of the living room and the three of them were enjoying a warm cup of tea and a snack in their hands.
.............
Thirty minutes more they wait for the return of the host, the day was getting dark, because of worry about the health condition of Riani, Pekak planned to take her home, and the, but he immediately pronounced after the sound of a bicycle entering the yard that makes spontaneous as soon as the three look towards the yard of the house.
Seen by Riani, a man the age of his father was seen walking into his house, although he was old but still seen his body is sturdy, it is clear that the man is very caring for his body and health.
But when Riani carefully observed the face, she felt familiar and familiar, but she did not remember who?
"Hallo Bli! everybody's so sorry... It's been waiting for me for a long time, there was a small incident, my second wife was sulking" said the man laughing as he pointed his thumb back at his bicycle.
Then with familiarity the man hugged Pekak, then greeted Arga and Riani.
When the man greeted Riani, his eyes widened somewhat like surprise, and looked at Riani's face for a long time, but then his facial expression returned to the beginning.
"Sorry, I'll change my clothes for a moment..." Said the man passing towards his room, after Pekak nodded his hand.
"Sorry Pekak...Riani really feel familiar with the face om earlier, have we met before with him?" ask Riani curiously.
"Of course putu and everyone knows him, because he is a singer duo as well as legendary actor Roland, the beginning of him famous first, because he was famous, because the duo song that they sang first with his twin Ronand is very famous until now, but his sister was after marriage vacuum and prefer to plunge in the world of business and politics, he said, while Roland himself prefers to stay in the entertainment world as an actor and active in the social world"
"Oh...Worth it, when he saw Riani felt very familiar with her face, but...Why is he here now, is he on leave?"
"Say she was deliberately on leave for a few days in order to attend Ronand's child's wedding, while her own filming schedule was temporarily postponed"
Riani and Arga were just beards hearing stories and explanations from Pekak.
"I'm sorry...I took a shower, understandably because the wife was sulking, all sweat-soaked bodies..." Said Roland with a crisp laugh.
"It's okayGus (a call in Balinese for younger brother/sister)" replied Pekak.
" If it wasn't wrong, you're called Riani, right?" ask Roland.
"Yes, I'm Riani"
"Your face is very similar to someone I used to know" Roland said as he continued to stare at Riani's face which made her feel awkward at such a face by Roland.
"Well, what's calling me home?"
The voice of a man who appeared suddenly from the outside and entered the house.
"Oh! sorry, I don't think there are any guests" said the young man, unkind.
"You have come, introduce this my only child, his name is Nando, he will take care of our cooperation later" said Roland.
"Well, how many years have I not met Nando ya Gus? look now he looks as handsome as you" Pekak praised Nando as he patted his shoulder.
"Who used to dong papah Bli..." Replied Roland while patting his chest proudly and laughing crisply as usual.
"Come on Nando, you sit down there is something important that we will talk about" Roland told his son, Nando immediately obeyed and immediately sat next to Roland who had first sat beside Riani.
"So how's Bli planning?" ask Roland to Pekak, opening a serious conversation.
"As we have talked about before Gus, that the initial idea of opening a restaurant was from this grandson of mine" Pekak replied as he pointed towards Riani.
Riani herself was very surprised after hearing the explanation from Pekak to Roland, because the idea he had to open a restaurant at that time, then the discourse, was, while to realize it Riani still needs time and funds, because for now he is still focused on his life that he needs to fix first.
"Hm...So the idea and the plan to make the restaurant come out of you, son Riani?" ask Roland.
"Actually it's just a discourse om, if for its own implementation I think it is still far away, because there is a lot to be prepared" replied Riani, politely.
"What do you mean, what preparation? please explain more details to me" asked Roland again.
"One of the main preparations is a budged/capital, then a survey of places and surveys of food archipelago what would be much in the search and interest by consumers" explained Riani, clearly.
"Okay, then let Bli alone explain about our plan" said Roland while inviting Pekak to talk, Riani who had been confused just stared at Pekak questioningly, while Pekak himself just smiled looking at Riani's expression.
"Ehem! actually, this is what Riani is...At that time you have ideas and plans to open a restaurant business with a menu of archipelago or local cuisine, well...Since then Pekak expressed your idea to Wak Made, Teddy and Roland, and it turns out they all welcome your idea and are interested in participating as investors in the restaurant you plan" pekak explained clearly.
"So you mean, we become business partners and combine our capital to open a restaurant?" riani asked in surprise.
"That's fine, and for this to leave it to this child, we entrust you young people to run it..." Reply to Roland while patting Nando on the shoulder.
"Yes right, so that later Randi and Zoya will also manage, because Pekak also plans to invest, so that the two of them can learn with you" continued Pekak.
Riani was very surprised by what they were talking about, because the idea that could be said at first was just a fad, instead was greeted seriously by all of them.
"But sorry...Is it not excessive if only to build a small restaurant must need too much funds? again sorry, that's in my opinion" said Riani.
"We really shouldn't need very large funds to build a small restaurant, but we plan to build a five-star restaurant, so it takes a lot of capital" Nando replied, explaining.
"But the theme of the restaurant that I planned was the peacock archipelago cuisine, so from any circles can enjoy it at an affordable price..." Riani said, feeling less agree with Nando's idea.
"We will indeed build a five-star restaurant because for consumer convenience, but for the price and design itself we adjust to the theme and for all circles, so mba Riani does not need to worry" replied Arga who had just been silent listening.
"But...Is it not from a small restaurant first to start this business business, because we do not know the prospects in the future, whether the restaurant can grow rapidly or vice versa?" riani's proposal is a bit hesitant and afraid of the consequences if the restaurant does not run smoothly.
"Om optimistic and believe that our restaurant will run smoothly and grow rapidly, because the ones who run are you young people who have business talent in your respective fields" reply om Roland smiled at Riani which made Riani's heart somewhat calm.
"Betul putu, if we are going to start a business, walk without hesitation, optimistic and confident that what we will do will achieve good results" continue Pekak who agrees with Roland's opinion.
"So Roland, wak Made and Pekak agree and believe that we manage our restaurant business?" riani asked still not convinced.
"We all agree, son..." Reply to Roland while gently stroking the head of Riani sitting beside him.
There was a strange but comfortable and warm feeling flowing in Riani's heart.
"Later to survey the place and food we will for the task, for the letter of agreement and share, proposals, venue permits and other completeness of the data let me and Arga who take care of it, how?" ask Nando.
"I agree, because it's not my field" replied Riani.
"If for putu and Teddy, you are experts in the field of design, so for the model and shape of the restaurant of interior and exterior design let us leave it to you both" Pekak proposed.
"And for the promotion section, the ones that best fit this field are Randi and Zoya, how's Bli?" said Roland proposed.
"That's what I was just about to say, so everyone does their job according to your expertise and field" replied Pekak with a face that looks bright and full of enthusiasm.
"Okay then deal! hopefully our cooperation is smooth and gives mutual benefits to create a more solid cooperative relationship between us" said Roland.
"Amen...!" Speak to everyone in the living room.
The atmosphere of love filled the room, Riani was very grateful for the good things that happened to her today...
