Surya sat behind his room table, on the top floor of the cafe which is also where he lives now. He chose to stay there because there are several spaces that he can use to the fullest. When he saw the two-story building, Surya immediately thought to open what business there. A building located on the edge of a crowded street and only 200 meters from the area of a college, it made him find the idea to open a cafe that can be used as a gathering place for young people.
Initially Surya saw the building ad was sold on an online property selling site and intended to open a new angkringan stall but after seeing its location which is more than just having a good location, he said, Surya also took the initiative to open a cafe this time. Although he already has many angkringan stalls, but opening a cafe is also not easy for him. He had to find a barista as well as experts in this field. Including for the menu, Surya also finds out a lot from cafes that have developed and visited by many people. Not to plagiarize, but Surya trying to find out what menu can make a cafe crowded visited by visitors. Many cafes provide fast-food processed foods, prepare main meals made from pasta, or a dessert menu of a kind of pudding. From there Surya also learned to make his own menu with the help of the chefs he employs and on average is a graduate of the academy or school of cuisine.
In addition to an experienced chef he received was a former chef from a five-star hotel, but most of the other chefs were fresh graduates who had just completed their studies in that field. Surya did deliberately open a chef vacancy for new graduates from the academy or campus with a major in boga because he felt the need to give them the opportunity to develop themselves after graduating from school. He knows the risk he will receive is that maybe they are not as professional as the chefs who are experienced in their fields, but in addition to developing businesses, they are not as professional as chefs who are experienced in their fields, Surya also has a goal to create jobs, especially for those who need to have experience. He argued that all fields of business need workers who already have experience, then where will the new graduates will have experience in their field if there is never a place that gives them the opportunity to get experience. So this is how the new cafe Surya opened. With the building that he renovated so that it is modern minimalist themed, and with the employees he recruited after the interview process, Surya and his employees began to learn to develop a cafe business whose existence has mushroomed anywhere.
Even so, but Surya is not afraid to compete with other cafes. He will apply interesting innovations so that it can attract visitors to enliven his cafe. Such as giving bonuses to visitors with party categories or coming in crowds or determining the daily menu presented into a frugal package that alternates every day. That's because Surya adjusts to the location of the cafe close to the campus area so that to attract visitors may be mostly students, Solar will make something in its cafe easy to reach and economical enough for their pockets. That's one of the innovations that Surya made for his cafe.
"I'm afraid you might misunderstand me. Or you could have misinterpreted my words. What I'm clear is that letting you seduce me doesn't mean I give you hope that we can be together again in the end."
Recalling Gina's sentence at that time, Surya finally knew why she seemed to stay away from him. Apparently Gina was worried about him. It made her feel like she had to make Gina believe in him again. Believing his feelings that it is true if he really has to accept Surya's love. Either because Surya refused or there is another possibility that is what seems to cause Gina to start wavering against him. Therefore, Surya also needs to find innovations in order to attract the attention of Gina again.
Since then Surya opened his laptop while finding out on every web page browser tips and ways to attract a woman. He felt the need to do it more seriously and more carefully because he did not want a little action that was not in accordance with the wishes of Gina instead made him lose the woman he liked since the first time he met.
Surya reads articles from the internet and begins to learn how to properly melt Gina's heart. It turns out that there are many tricks written by various articles to support his business.
That night Surya and Gina came out of Gina's Orphanage. Surya approached his car and almost opened the door but he remembered one of the tricks in an article that 'do approach with a reason to be together'. Then he turned around and walked quickly towards Gina's car before she left the place.
"What's wrong?" Tanya Gina saw Surya from the car whose door she opened.
"Miss, can I get in your car? My car tyre deflated, the tire repairman was also very far away. Besides, jamming this last night looks like a tire patchworker must have closed. There's also no 24-hour tire patch." Surya began to launch his action on the grounds that Gina could not refuse him.
Similarly, the dinner that Gina employees held was also one of the tricks done by Surya to be able to meet Gina who was like she did not want to see him. If Surya forced himself to meet at home or wait for him after the office, it was as if Surya was ambushing him even though Gina was not wanting to meet him so like using a trick that he read Surya had to do a natural way to be able to meet him even though he had to ask a little for help from others.
🌸🌸🌸
Gina drives her car into the R-Company parking lot located in the basement. He then placed his car in one corner of the basement and got out of the car using Gucci's structured leather crossbody bag on his shoulder. He walked towards the entrance of the R-Company while checking his phone. There's a message coming in. From Surya. Seeing the name of Surya plastered on the notification screen of his phone, Gina's heart still feels uncertain kebat-kebit. He then read the contents of the message that Surya sent and was increasingly agitated because when he looked ahead, where the lobby door was open, Surya was already there waiting for him.
Seeing Gina entering the lobby from the basement, Surya walked up to her. Gina was still glued to her place. Surya who with a long-sleeved white shirt that he folds up to the elbow makes it able to show the arm muscles that steal Gina's attention. Walking with long steps and a perfect smile makes Gina's heart beat faster. It was as if there was a pair of white wings visible behind Surya's body that only Gina could see. Surya is really a good looking angel.
"Good morning, Miss." Sapa Surya who is now right in front of him with a pair of brown eyes is more beautiful because it gets a touch of sunlight from the glass roof of the lobby on it.
"What's wrong?" Gina asked with enough effort to hold back her feelings so that she did not look nervous. The hair of the model wet look Surya this morning that does not completely cover the forehead is very attention-grabbing. But once again Gina had to keep suppressing her feelings for the sake of seeing that.
"It's hot chocolate for you. New menu at the cafe. Please sample and give me a review later." Said Surya while presenting a black paper cup with a logo of his cafe name.
Gina receives a hot cup holder containing a brown glass brought by Surya. From there, Gina could smell a very fragrant chocolate. I can imagine how good it feels.
"All right." Gina answered briefly because she felt she did not want to be stuttering if she made too much noise because of the side effects of the nervousness she was experiencing.
"It would be better if you write a review on the website or social media cafe. That definitely adds a plus to my cafe, miss."
"Then I have to sign the endorsement contract first." Hearing that, Surya laughed. It doesn't matter how many officers look at them and there may be a variety of thoughts filling their heads.
"Alright, let's do that, Miss." Surya said with there still laughing left of him. Gina was smiling. Not because it was happy to hear Surya's words but because Surya's smile made him unable to retaliate by pulling both ends of his lips upwards.
"By the way, this early you're here just for this?"
"I'm going to go see coffee beans somewhere. But these few days I didn't meet you and it made me miss. So what's wrong if I stop by first and reason with that chocolate." Gina looked at Surya straightly hearing Surya's sentence was very honest and made Gina's heart tingling. Coupled with Surya now looking at her softly, Gina was really close to melting if only the lobby was not equipped with enough air conditioning.
"All right, thanks for the chocolate." Finally, that was all Gina could say. He felt that Surya had to leave immediately because the longer he was with her, Gina was more afraid of not being able to control herself.
"Okay, Miss, I'll go first." Pamit Surya who like to know the code that Gina said so that he immediately left.
Suryapun turned around and left Gina. He took a deep breath because one of the tricks he had launched again. A trick of 'drawing the attention of the woman who is estimated by looking like the woman likes'. After reading the trick, Surya also remembered about what appearance could make Gina like it. Then Surya's memory came to the time when Gina forbade him to go out of town with a white shirt. He even forbade her to wear the shirt in front of other women except her. So Surya thinks he might look attractive to Gina while wearing a white shirt. So, Surya finally made himself meet Gina by wearing the white shirt. And right, seeing how Gina reacted when she looked at him earlier, Surya was sure Gina was fascinated by his appearance. As she moves further away from Gina, Surya involuntarily smiles remembering that and hopes Gina soon realizes not to lose herself.
"He no longer paid attention to me. I told you not to wear a white shirt. Why did he wear it that way. My heart is really threatened." Said Gina while feeling her own chest to feel the pounding that slowly but surely began to stabilize again.
Gina got out of the elevator and walked towards her room. At the end of the hallway he could see Hanna and Feby who were already waiting for him. Hanna is next to Feby's desk, while Feby is behind his own desk.
"Good morning, Miss." Greet his personal assistant and secretary together.
"Good morning..." While walking past the two employees, Gina saw two paper cups similar to hers on the table. He believes the cup also came from Surya.
"Miss also gets that coffee?" Said Hanna who saw Gina carrying a hot cup holder in her hand.
"Yes, you too." Gina replied while glancing at their two cups.
"One of Mr. Surya's employees is promoting in front of the building. So we were interested in tasting it. I've bought for you too. But it turns out you've also bought yourself." Hanna said that made Gina know where the coffee they brought came from.
And after hearing Hanna's words, Gina felt no need to say where and what the contents of the cup she was carrying was because Surya gave it directly to her instead of coffee but her favorite chocolate drink.
"It's okay, I'll drink it later. It just so happened that today I was limp and needed a lot of caffeine so as not to get sleepy at the meeting later."
"It's okay, Miss. Let me drink it."
"Pregnant women should not drink too many drinks that contain caffeine, it is not good for the development of your fetus." Said Gina forbid while opening the door of her room and entering. It made Feby who had not known about Hanna's pregnancy so look at her and then smile as if she was happy about her pregnancy.
"You pregnant?" Feby asked him. Hanna nodded.
"Gee, congratulations..." Feby widened his smile.
"Thank you." Hanna replied to Feby's smile.
This morning on the sidelines of her work, Gina also enjoyed the hot chocolate Surya gave her. Just like what he said earlier, that hot chocolate tastes really good. The sweet and creamy taste that was very soft made Gina feel her tongue was very comfortable with that taste. Just this time he drank a local processed hot chocolate that tastes almost similar to the chocolate he got from abroad.
Then Gina remembered Surya's message to give a review of the chocolate she tasted. He then diverted his fingers from the touchpad laptop and switched to the phone next to him.
He began to open the website of Surya's cafe written on his drink cup and began to type something in the comment field. Not enough with that, Gina also opened the social media cafe Surya and commented on one of the posts there.
Surya was sitting behind a desk in his room. He heard a notification sound on his phone and saw Gina's name giving a response on the cafe's website. Surya smiled at that. Finally Gina wrote a response there too although she did not agree to her request. And Surya is not sure Gina will do it. But Gina did it too.
"A comfortable place to gather with friends and enjoy the perfect meal. The chocolate pudding is the best in town." As soon as Gina wrote on the website comment page.
Surya also saw another notification that Gina commented on the cafe's social media. After he opened, it turns out Gina commented on a photo upload of beef steak that looks very artistic there.
"Can't move on from this menu. Your race is shifting my world." Surya smiled cutely looking at Gina's comments this time. Surya felt Gina was very sweet when she made that comment. It made him unable to stand it and reply to his comments with an emoticon hug and kiss.
Seeing the feedback from Surya, Gina blinked her eyes many times.
"How dare he reply to my comment like that. What if someone misunderstands when they see it." Gina muttered that she then dialed Surya's phone number to call him.
Seeing the name Gina called on her phone, Surya smiled and answered her immediately.
"Hey, why did you reply to my comment? You should have just silenced it like any other comment. Why should I repay you with such an emoticon? What if the person who saw it would be misunderstood?" Spray Gina as soon as Surya picks up his phone.
"They won't misunderstand, miss. Because what they understand is not wrong."
"What's? Whatchu mean?" Gina blinked her eyes many times trying to digest Surya's answer.
