I was overwhelmed by my surprise. I immediately left from there leaving Intan's mother still crying. He still said the same word and called out the baby's name.
I sat waiting. The people who had rested had left shortly after, Ms. Intan came out from there with a beautiful face. His eyes were swollen, his facial skin reddened. There was a small stuffing from his tightly closed mouth.
"Let's go home. " Said without looking at me.

POV Author
Rain is serving a menu for breakfast assisted with Sari who has come since morning. Sari did not come alone. Sari's friend named Tuti has also entered work.
A 40-year-old woman is not like Sari. He was quieter and seemed less friendly. Especially when he saw Rain. He looked like he didn't like seeing the girl. Rain knows but he doesn't care about it.
Some of the menus are on the dining table and on the kitchen table. Because the workers are used to eating in the kitchen. But Rain was not allowed by Intan to eat there.
Now Rain is the one who cooks for Intan's family and also his coworkers. He is usually helped by Intan. But this morning Rain cooked by himself. Rain was surprised why Intan had not yet come down even though the day could not be said to be morning.
Rain was worried. What happened to his employer? Is he healthy?
When Rain was pensive, Intan went down with his two children. Rain did not know that Intan was already on the stairs. He was still standing by the dining table.
Intan and her two children headed to the dining room. But Intan's steps came to a halt when he saw the gloomy-looking Rain. Intan looked at her two children as if asking. Ace just put his shoulder around because he didn't know either.
"rain's... " Intan called out to him as he walked.
Rain looked weakly. "Yes, mom? " Rain examined Intan's face.
"You why? "
Instead of answering, Rain asked back. "Mother's healthy, right? "
Intan frowned. "Yes. This is not pa-pa. What's wrong? "
"No pa-pa, ma'am. I just kind of thought about Mom. From last night I didn't see my mother. "
Intan smiled feeling touched by the child's words.
"Yes. Mom is healthy. Let's have breakfast first. We'll talk later. There's something I want to say. "
They sat down and started eating their breakfast.

After finishing breakfast and cleaning the dining table, Intan invited Rain to sit in the living room. Rain followed Intan's steps.
"Mother invited some of her friends to attend the event later. I'm asking you to cook for the show later. Just a few. To introduce your cooking taste to them. " Speak after they sit down. Rain nodded.
"We cook it at home. Let me help your friends later. We will leave after Ashar. The show started at about four and a half. You call your family. Bring them here. Let Hendra pick them up. They must be happy."
Rain smiled. "Yes. I'll call them later. Thanks, ma'am. " Inan returned his smile and looked pleased.
Shortly after, Intan left Rain. Rain contacted his family to invite them. But her mother and sister could not attend.
" Mom couldn't come. Your brother had a fever from last night. Zee has also left because there are activities with his friends. But try to call him. Who knows, he could be here later in the afternoon. "
Rain sighed softly. "What is the condition of Arka bang now? Has he been taken to the hospital yet? "
"Udah. Don't worry, your brother's condition is better. He's now resting. Wouldn't we come? "
"Yes, mom. May the Ark heal quickly. "
"Yes already. Hope the show is good. I pray that your work will be successful. "
"Thank you, mom. I closed first. Assalamu'alaikum's chat. "
"Getishalight."
Rain called his sister. But his sister was also unable to attend. Rain looked sad. He wanted the event to be attended by his family.
"My task probably finished around five o'clock, brother. It's a holiday. " Say Zee felt bad.
"Yes, not pa-pa. Yes already. Brother wants to continue his work brother. You're all right, yeah. "
"Hu'um."
Rain hung up the phone.
"Eh wait, brother! "
"What's? "
"Later on the show, my vicall brother, yes. I want to see the show go on. "
"You see what the other show is? " Tempta Rain.
"Yes... Heheh. See the view too dong. Can yes... "
"Yes. Yes, my brother closed first. Assalamu'alaikum's chat. "
"Vaalaikumsalam. "

They went into the cafe. There are already presented some types of food that has been ordered Intan. Food from his home was arranged by his workers.
The cafe looks beautiful with different types of decorations. The size of the cafe is not very large. But the atmosphere and scenery there is very comfortable.
Rain had just first set foot in that place. He was amazed to see the view in the cafe. Broad pages. There are several types of flowers embedded in the right and left of the cafe.
Even when inside his admiration did not fade. The view outside is more beautiful than inside. But being in that room made her feel comfortable. The busyness of some people does not also make his sense of comfort disappear.

Intan brought Rain into a room. Intan made the room special for Rain to rest. There are also several other rooms that Intan has not explained what the room is.
Intan called someone. Rain scrunched his forehead as the man walked in. Because he didn't recognize that person at all. A beautiful and elegant woman according to him. She looks older than Rain.
Intan smiled with Rain's expression.
"This is a makeup artist acquaintance of mother. I want him to decorate you. I want to make you look different on this show. You don't mind, do you?"
Rain scratched his head in doubt. "Yeah. Not pa-pa. Justjust... "
"Why? " Tanya Intan's.
"Ep... Maybe someone else who is dressed up will look like a model. But if I might look like an ondel-ondel. " Rain said a little dumbly.
Intan and the makeup artist laughed out loud. Rain just stared at them flat.
"This makeup artist is a good person. She can even make ondel-ondel turn into a model. You don't have to be that poor. "
"Yes, deh... Please make up me. " Rain said as he bowed his body with his hands on his chest. Then he sat down weakly.
The makeup artist chuckled before starting her work.
"Mom stayed first, yeah. "
Rain and the makeup artist nodded in agreement.
The makeup artist is a friendly person. He told Rain a lot. Rain was comfortable with that person. They were so comfortable that they forgot to introduce themselves.
.
.
The makeup artist was done with his work. Rain looked astonished and in disbelief at what he saw in the mirror.
"Hows it? Does this look like an ondel-ondel? "
"No, sis. Beauitiful... Heheh... I became pensive. "
"You're actually pretty. It's just that you're not confident. "
"I'm more confident with my usual self. But maybe if I do the makeup myself, of course the results will not be this good. " The makeup artist just smiled.
From the front room there was a crowd. Looks like the guests have arrived. Shortly after, Intan walked into the room and he looked amazed when he saw Rain.
Rain felt ashamed of being noticed by Intan like that.
"You're so pretty, baby. " Speak Intan while walking towards Rain. Rain smiled clumsily. "That's thanks to this brother. " Rain looked at the makeup artist.
"Eh! Whose sister's name? I forgot to get acquainted."
The makeup artist extended her hand. "Sophy."
"Rain." Said Rain while receiving the helping hand.
After a little chat, they finally walked out of the room. Rain hesitated to step up his legs. He walked slowly out of the room.
The boisterous sounds of some people suddenly stopped when Intan came out with Rain and Sofia behind him. Those people looked stunned. Some people wonder, who is this girl? Because they already know who Sofia is. Not with Rain. They had clearly only seen Rain for the first time.
Rain was embarrassed, as if he wanted to quickly leave the room. His feet felt weak. Sweaty hands.
"Include me, this is Rain. The person who will be the chef in this cafe. " Speak in the middle of the room. He did not see Rain who was left a few steps away from him.
Intan turned to Rain and was surprised that the girl was not behind him.
"here... " Intan smiled stiffly at the guests.
Rain walked nervously towards Intan. The gazes of those people followed Rain's movements.
Ace who had been busy chatting with his friend was stunned and followed Rain's movements.
In contrast to Ace, Kana seemed silent in dislike as Ace looked at Rain in astonishment.
