Jade & Latte
Customer First

TING DONG. Someone is standing in front of the building

simple that says "Jade and Latte Agency" on the board that is plastered on it.

A man wears a black suit that looks like it looks expensive, as there is a small label inscribed with glamour with a beautiful font.

The man pressed the red bell that was in front of the building. He waited for ten seconds for someone to open the door, but the door was still closed. He pressed the bell again, and waited again.

He did it over and over again, hoping that soon someone would open the rusty door. The summer sun is not a good friend.

The sound of the bell was disturbing enough to wake a Jade who was asleep on a long dull blue sofa. There were a few holes in the sofa, it seemed enough to hide a piece of dime.

"huh ? not that Latte paid the rent yesterday, why come again?"

With her face Jade rushed towards the front room to open the door. He stepped on some cheesecake-flavored potato chips that were splattered, used to accompany Jade watching tv.

The door opened, the man wearing a neat suit smiled with a relieved face, someone finally opened the door.

With a face to mix with confusion, because Jade had never seen the face of the man in the suit. Without asking anything, Jade took the man into her frame.

Finally his first client came after two months of no customers at all.

After all, the location of this shop is not strategic. A small shophouse rented at a cheap price but located quite far from the city center. It takes about three blocks to get to the city center.

Previously this shophouse was a place for used dvd rental services, but because the era has changed. The owner

decided to rent out this shophouse to make a living.

The scorching heat did not lower the Latte spirit, it stood in the middle of the city while

handing out leaflets to passers-by.

"Please contact us if there is a fiend in your house, we will help to expel it"

He gave a brochure to the fathers who walked quickly while holding a suitcase.

"This please Sir, contact us if you need".

Ungrubbed, the father was indifferent to the brochure offered by Latte.

"ayoo Latte you should be more upbeat"

Energized trying to encourage himself.

"Please contact us if there is a problem with fiend..."

After distributing enough brochures, Latte decided to return to her old shophouse. But he was amazed when he saw a motorcycle parked in front of his ruko.

Before long, the man in a neat suit came out of the shop with a smile. The astonished Latte, answered the smile back. The man in a neat suit left while riding his motorcycle.

Latte ran towards the middle room, while shouting.

“Jadeee do we get client ? where ? fiend what are we dealing with?”

From the face of Latte pictured he was very enthusiastic and happy.

Jade looked at Latte with her lazy expression. No, it wasn't lazy just that Jade's expression was normal like that.

“He's just the one who offers magic goods. The catalog is on tv, maybe

you're interested in replacing your old orb.”

Jade explained as she ate the remaining chips yesterday.

“I want to buy a new orb, but it looks like the price is enough to pay the shophouse rent for a month. Besides my old orb is still enough for me, just stay practicing other magic”

Jade just stared flatly at Latte's face that looked like she wanted to vaporize something. Jade actually already knew that none of the customers that Latte was getting. He just wanted to change the subject.

“How about the brochure ? did you get a customer?”

“Not yet, maybe indeed lately there is no fiend hanging around. The fewer fiends that roam around and disturb humans, the better. We don't have to fight them anymore”

Latte replied with a slightly disappointed relieved face.

“that is impossible right, you know yourself fiend emerged from the cracks of darkness that has been exposed to human hatred. The more I see on tv, the more people don't change, the more they hate each other. Competition business, politics, coups, criminals all that makes the gap of darkness appear. And of course the fiend will come from situ”

“iyaa I know what a genius magician master is, if you know all that why don't you help me spread these brochures. You were busy watching tv while eating potato chips”

Snapped Latte with her sour face.

“If I share a brochure. Who's guarding this place, princess ? After all I don't have the energy like you”

While eating the rest of the potato chips. Jade glanced at the old sofa that had been torn

I watched his favorite show, The Rebellion Cat. While Latte he just fell silent while showing his sour face.

The next day ...

“The heat....Sometimes I envy your creative brain to the point of making a grievance container box.

in front of our shophouse, even though it does not help at all”

The hot Jade looked at the sun as if it was laughing at him.

“Once in a while your body should be in the sunshine. At least you can be more sob”

While Latte spread the brochure with energy that was not drained at all by the heat

mentari. While the hot Jade rests on the bench of the garden while shaded by shady trees.

“I should be watching tv while enjoying a cold ice cream. Haa delicious.. at least the wind here is quite refreshing”.

He muttered. Unknowingly the wind blew out a sheet of brochure he had placed beside him. Latte shouted as she saw Jade was lazing again

“Jade…! Why don't you hold the brochure, aah so scattered deh”

“Calm down, this is not a difficult thing”

Jade opened one of her palms, as soon as the scattered brochures floated in the air. It was as if gravity was disappearing on those brochures. Jade instantly closed her palm.

All the brochures move to the same place. Resetted as before by the wind. Like a video playing in reverse. The brochures are neatly arranged back to how they were.

“Alright great witch master, enough with the show now back to work”

”Baikla-“

Jade put on a lazy face when she wanted to go back to peddling her brochure. Suddenly, a long black-haired child on a ponytail came up to the two of them. A little girl was wearing a yellow T-shirt and a long blue skirt whose color had faded.

“ma-maap, can I ask sis ?”

Said the girl while looking down in front of Jade and Latte. Latte's maternal soul rose up he immediately approached the pigtailed girl. Latte cupped while rubbing the girl's head.

The lowered face earlier started to look up towards Latte slowly. Radiated

an aura of hope from the window of a Latte's life. A look of sad emotions, fear, confusion emanated on the girl's face. Latte asked.
