Senior Junior Love Romance

Before starting to get busy again with college activities, Rendra renovated his cafe based on the design made by Dita. The cafe is temporarily closed during the renovation process so as not to disturb the convenience of customers.

The first floor is used for bakery and coffee production processes, as well as bakery product displays. Rendra's room which was originally on the 2nd floor was also moved down because of the condition of Dita who was pregnant, prone if you have to often go up and down stairs. Therefore on the first floor there are not many tables and chairs in the room, but in front of the cafe still provided tables and chairs for those who smoke.

The second floor is used for cooking and heating fast food. In one corner will be provided an area to play music acoustically. There are also more chairs and tables available, both indoors and on the balcony.

Every day Rendra and Dita continue to monitor the renovation process to fit what they want. Usually they come in the morning to give directions while driving Mother Goddess to the boutique. In the afternoon they come again to monitor the results of the renovation while picking up Mother Goddess home.

During the renovation process, they also hired several employees for several positions. There are positions for bakers (bakers, pastries & cakes), cooking fast food, serving customers as well as admins. All employees will go through the training period, except for the obvious baker they recruit from professionals.

At the reopening of the cafe, they plan to invite Bara and her band to fill the event. Today Rendra's appointment to meet Bara at home. They deliberately did not meet outside because Bara also had not played to Rendra's house for a long time.

"Assalamu'alaikum" greetings Bara in front of the open door of the house.

From the outside, Bara can see Rendra who is focusing in front of his notebook.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Rendra who immediately turned his gaze from the notebook towards Bara.

"Here come in first, Bro." Rendra got up from his seat and approached Bara. As usual, each time they met, they performed their special ritual greeting, then hugged.

"Well, your face is getting brighter and brighter, bro. Have a wife, big too yes effect," seductive Bara.

"Hahaha, could you. Sit down, Bro." Rendra invites Bara to sit on the living room sofa.

"Gue tell Dita first, wait a minute." Rendra left the living room, looking for Dita.

"Honey, Bara's here." Rendra tells Dita who is taking a drink in the kitchen. She hugged Dita from behind.

"Mas, let's not hug the gini. Poor Brother Bara wait in front." Tried to escape from Rendra's embrace.

"It's okay, just for a second." Rendra kissed Dita's cheek.

"Mas," protested Dita, though her cheeks became blushing.

Rendra laughed as she managed to tease Dita. "Later in the night we continue," Rendra blinked one eye before leaving his wife.

"How's mama doing, bro? Don't you get mad about coming back here?" asked Rendra after sitting back in the living room.

"Thank God, the news is good and healthy. As usual I said I wanted to come back here. He said the miss has not disappeared," Bara replied with an amused smile.

"Why don't you bring me here?"

"Well, that weird mama. I brought here unwillingly, afraid to miss the same visitation of his social friends. But tell me I still miss me. During my time in Jakarta, I became a mama driver who almost every day joined Arisan. I'm also known for the children of his fellow travelers." Bara shook his head remembering his mama and his mama's arisan friends.

"Mama wants you to quickly have a girlfriend kali," seduced Rendra.

"Gara-gara know that you're married, so chasing me to find a wife. You already have a monthly income. If I do not, of course. I want to eat what my wife eats."

Rendra laughed at Bara's story. On the one hand he also felt bad because Dita preferred him over Bara.

Dita went into the room carrying a tray containing drinks and snacks. Seeing Dita carrying a tray, Bara reflex stood up and took the tray that Dita brought. Rendra frowned looking at everything.

"Eh, Brother Bara just sit down. It's light." Dita tried to ask for back the tray that Bara had taken.

"Udah, you sit down. Let it be me who brought it." Bara still carries the tray to the table.

"Kok I feel like a guest here," seloroh Rendra though with a little satirizing.

"It could be you, Bro." I feel a little bad.

Dita lowered her drinks and snacks from the tray onto the table. Then he kept a tray beside her.

"Come Kak Bara drunk, and tipped his snack. I'm so sorry," said Dita.

"Thank you" Bara said, smiling at Dita.

"O Allah, I forgot to ask the news. Brother Bara how are you?"

"Thank God, good and healthy. How you doing?" Back to asking news.

"Alhamdulillah we are also good, brother," answered dita while stroking her stomach.

"You pregnant?" ask Bara.

"Alhamdulillah, Bro. Dita is now 3 months pregnant," Rendra replied as she embraced Dita's shoulder sitting next to her.

"Alhamdulillah, I am happy. May you be healthy and smooth until you are born" Bara's sincere prayer.

"Aamiin," said Rendra and Dita together.

"What kind of girl is this guy?" tanya Bara was curious.

"Not yet to know, Brother. Maybe in a month or two. It was also said by the doctor that his son did not cuddle it," replied Dita with a small laugh.

Bara nodded his head. "Yes, Bro. That's all that matters."

"Sir, is there a gig agenda?"

"In the near future the power is not yet, why?"

"We want to re-open the cafe with a new concept. Dita wanted lo and band lo gig at that time. But maybe the acoustic version because it doesn't allow the complete band tool."

"When?"

"Saturday first next month. Later we concept outdoor next to the cafe so that all can see including the one on the top floor."

"Upper floor is in use now?"

"Yes, my room was moved down. Pity my wife if I have to go up and down the stairs. So all the above is used rather than idle."

"I'll say the same to the kids. They're happy for sure."

"Yes, brother, I'm waiting for the good news."

"God willing."

"Yes, on the second floor, I made an acoustic corner, brother. Who knows, Bara and his friends want to fill. Free who wants to sing. There is also a guitar if you want to sing while playing the guitar," explained Dita.

"Well, that's good. If there is live music, there are usually many who like."

"Aamiinu. Hopefully yes, Brother."

"Darling, so want to cook or order a meal?" Rendra reminded Dita that she was almost in for lunch.

"Astaghfirullah, the preoccupation of talking so forget. I'm cooking, Mas. I just make saos. Go to the mosque and eat?"

"Yes, after the prayer will just eat. Honey, but if you're tired of not cooking."

"I'm not tired, dear Mas Rendra." Dita stroked Rendra's cheek to make her husband smile widely.

There is pain in Bara's chest when he saw the intimacy of Rendra and Dita. Although he has tried to eliminate and brush off his feelings for Dita, but in fact there is still a sense left behind even though it is not as big as before. It is true, forgetting about it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

Even so, Bara did not want to seize Dita and hurt her friend. It was enough that he admired Dita in silence. Let time erode the feeling in his heart.

As soon as Azan Zuhur reverberated, Rendra invited Bara to pray at the mosque. While Dita salat itself at home. After the prayer, Dita prepared lunch.

That afternoon Dita serves spaghetti with bolognese saos, zupa soup and lasagna. All the menu was planned to be a menu of food in the cafe. Therefore he became diligent to try food recipes that are practical to sell in cafes. Dita's business brain began to run because of the influence of Rendra who always asked for his opinion and input every time he would make a decision.

After returning from the mosque, Rendra immediately invited Bara to the dining table. Dita's been waiting there.

"I'm sorry, brother. Is there no rice?" tanya Dita is worried that Bara is a hard-line rice lover, who does not feel like eating without eating rice.

"A lot of gini. I'm safe not to eat rice" Bara replied, calming Dita's worries

"Thank God" said Dita.

"Here are you all cooking?" tanya Bara doesn't believe.

Dita nodded her head. "Yes, but also helped by Mas Rendra."

"Try tasting, Bro. If it's not good or something tastes less say yes. It's a menu that will be sold in the cafe, so yes still trial and error recipe," explained Rendra.

Bara tasting spaghetti, zupa soup and also lasagna. He nodded his head after every tasting. Dita waited anxiously Bara commented.

"Snake everything on my tongue. It feels right." Bara held two thumbs up on Dita.

"Alhamdulillah." Dita breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, it's delicious, honey. You have to be confident in this recipe." Rendra stroked Dita's head.

"Yes, Mum." Tita gets blushed.

"This "tried recipe that will be worn in the cafe, Bro. Later he will teach employees whose job is to cook here. Should be at the cafe but I don't want him to go up and down the stairs."

"Cool ..cool .... I didn't think Dita could cook." Bara stared in admiration Dita.

"My wife is cool. All can be anyway," praised Rendra.

"You two are exaggerating. I still have a lot to learn," said Dita low.

They ate three meals while talking to each other.
