The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 136 S2 (Marketing)
After the visitors began to quiet, Khaira immediately asked Ari, Budi and Rani as the brains of the sustainability of the restaurant cafe relics of Abbas to the workspace of the deceased who now looks silent because 4 months are not inhabited.
With sadness Khaira stroked Abbas's work chair, which is now a witness to her late husband's activities while still alive. There were no tears that he had endured since he started entering the cafe because there was still Abbas there who greeted him with a sincere smile full of love.
The knock on the door made him quickly wipe away a tear drop that the company did not want to escape on his cheek which was now tapered due to its much reduced weight. Khaira immediately shook her body in the chair imagining sitting on her husband's lap full of warmth.
Ari, Budi and Rani immediately sit in front of Khaira with serious eyes waiting for the words of their new boss. Although they know, Khaira also invested a lot of capital during the takeover of the cafe from Ari to Abbas. They are ready if there is a change of management or replacement of personnel, because everyone has a different vision and mission, and they will receive everything with a chest of air.
“Thanks for the dedication of Ari mas, Budi mas and Rani mbak in the management of this cafe.” Khaira tried to say hard to strengthen her heart, “I am very proud of you three. So did the deceased ...”
The three of them were fixated on seeing the sadness that Khaira could not hide. His voice was clenched, unable to speak anymore. He takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. A momentary state of silence.
“I'm sorry for being too baper …. “ Khaira trying to smile even though it feels difficult. He does not want to look weak in the eyes of his employees.
After being able to control his feelings Khaira again pulled and exhaled softly. He looked at one by one Abbas's mainstay officers who were still patiently waiting.
“I sincerely appreciate the work of Ari and friends. Here I assume that you are not employees or employees who are hired. You three are co-workers for this cafe. The four of us are a team. That's what the deceased always reminds me of. So never feel shy in managing this cafe.”
Ari and Budi looked at each other. They did not expect Khaira to say that. Though they were already prejudiced that Khaira would take over the leadership and overhaul the concept of the cafe that had been pioneered, but the reality is very different.
“I want to keep Ari as manager and Rani and Mas Budi's position remains the same. I believe you are able to find suitable employees to help with performance and development in this cafe. I can not stand by like the deceased here, because I also have other responsibilities,” Khaira sighed slowly, “I entrust this cafe to Ari mas, Ari, mas Budi and mbak Rani.”
“What mbak Rara will go in a long time?” Rani became curious to hear the words of her new boss.
Khaira smiled faintly, “I'm not going anywhere. For sure I came here only Tuesday and Friday’at. If there is a need or urgent matter, I ask Ari mas who handles it.”
“What if anyone wants to meet the owner of this cafe?” Ari stared fixedly at Khaira. Only this time he could see from close range his boss' fiancee who had now changed status to the widow of the late Abbas.
“I don't want to meet anyone.” Khaira said firmly. He felt he had no interest related to this cafe, so he refused it directly, “I will raise the salary mas Ari, mas Budi and mbak Rani. The three of you are the most important assets of this cafe. So I hope we can work together forever.”
Hearing Khaira's words made the three feel immense happiness. Not that their salaries have been small, but they understand Abbas is a person who is just starting to pioneer the business, so everything is very calculated. While Khaira was born from a distinguished family, and this cafe for him is just a distraction from other businesses that have been patronizing.
Ivan looked at the laptop that was on his desk. But the focus is not on the wide-open reports there. His mind was still fixed on the slim, round-eyed figure that had been bothering him for a few days.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ivan's lips imagining the sharp look that blocked his steps when he wanted to pay for their lunch with Peter at the time. Ayu's face is very pleasant to look at.
For a moment Ivan shook his head when what was thrown in his mind was not in sync with his lips that tried to reject the charm that had now disturbed the peace of his mind so far.
It has been four months since Abbas' departure that he has never stopped at the increasingly popular cafe. And as long as Abbas was alive he would often stop by there, but never saw a woman who showed hostility to him from the very beginning.
“What an interesting!” ivan's mind immediately remembered the smile on its back with dimples perfecting the beauty of God's creation in the form of a woman who until now he did not know who and where it came from.
“Bos, it's lunchtime. Do I need to order now?” The presence of Roni and Gisel that appeared before him slashed Ivan's daydream.
Ivan got up from the chair and grabbed the coat that was draped on the back of his chair. After quickly fitting his suit, he walked ahead of Roni and Gisel who were still staring at him in surprise.
“We ate at Cafe Abbas.”
With a lazy feeling Gisel returned to his desk. His presence which had been almost 3 months beside Ivan, had not made the most wanted to look at him. While checking the incoming emails, Gisel's mind continued to work looking for loopholes to get Ivan interested in him.
Arriving at the cafe, Ivan's gaze immediately circled around the surroundings. One by one the employees he worked noticed, but what he was looking for was not found. He leisurely walked towards Ari's desk which was positioned in front of the owner's room which was now tightly closed.
“Good day Mr. Ivan.” Ari quickly got up from her chair as soon as she saw an upright figure standing before her.
“I want to enjoy the best menu of this cafe. And please yesterday's waiter who has to serve.” Ivan said flatly, his eyes still sweeping around trying to find the figure that was now beginning to reside in his brain.
Ari scrunched up his eel hearing Ivan's words. As he recalled, there were no special servants who accompanied Ivan and some of his guests who came for lunch.
“Do I need to prepare a special place for you sir?” Ari saw only Ivan and Roni standing before him. He offers with respect. Ivan is a big company owner and a friend of his late boss.
“No need, I already know the place,” said Ivan flat.
Ivan casually breezed towards the special room where Khaira took him along with her client yesterday. Roni followed his boss's steps while shaking his head at the relaxed style of Ivan who did not care about his surroundings.
While waiting for the menu to arrive, Ivan returned to play his phone. He is lazy to respond to Roni's questions about changes in his appetite which is now starting to enjoy rice and friends.
The knock on the door made Ivan straighten his body quickly. He wants to look cool in front of someone who is starting to interfere with his mind.
“Hm...” Ivan looked at the two maids who came to deliver food that seemed inviting to taste.
Roni looked at Ivan's movements in wonder. Tumben's boss seems to be paying attention to his appearance when he's in a place like this. What is it?
“I want a waiter who yesterday, quickly call here!” ivan said with a cold face. He felt disappointed that came not in accordance with his expectations.
Good and Gita who prepared the food immediately finished her work. The two nodded respectfully at Ivan who was staring with an annoyed look.
The knock on the door made Ivan immediately look on excitedly. Rani walks leisurely approaching Ivan whose face is back sour.
“There can I help sir?” ask Rani politely. He had just been told Good that VIP guests had asked him to come to a special room to be served.
“I want women who yesterday served us here,” said Ivan flat without a smile.
Rani frowned, trying to remember the cafe employees who served some VIP guests who came to meet with the guests who were now in front of her. Now he remembered, Khaira was the one who accompanied the guest in the special room.
“Sorry sir, today our employees are not logged in.” Rani quickly answered.
He had already seen the annoyed face that was clearly drawn before him. But he could do nothing, but told him the truth that Khaira was not there.
Roni looked at Ivan with astonishment. It was unusual for his boss to behave like that. He only watched the interaction of the two without commenting. Shortly after, Rani came out of the room.
“Spend all this food. My appetite is gone.” With annoyed Ivan got up from the chair and left Roni who gawked facing a variety of menus that were quite appetizing.
