The One Night Stand
Why Arka?

Kara deliberately did not tell the employees at her shop about her arrival. The morning he had arrived, Andy accidentally gave him the keys to the shop.

He opened the back door of the shop and looked around. A place that gives many memories both joy and sorrow for him.

The chair seat was still placed upside down on the table, and the floor was clean.

Kara deliberately headed for the kitchen, there was a little change for the kitchen, adjusted to the many menus sold today. The kitchen feels wider and resembles the kitchen of his papa restaurant, but smaller.

Kara opened the storeroom, and was amazed, all the ingredients neatly arranged and there was a description.

Andy is very good at arranging this place, Kara's inner.

It takes ingredients for waffle and pancake menus.

Kara put on her apron, then started mixing the ingredients in the large container.

The door opened, and Matilda and Ami chatted, and Ben, Timmy, and some people were greeting each other.

Matilda opened the kitchen door and...

"MISS....!!" Matilda shouted making all the employees run towards the kitchen. They were all shocked by Kara's arrival at the tavern.

Kara hugged one by one her employees,

"Surprise..!!" he shouted while smiling.

They all laughed happily at Kara's arrival.

"Today's special, so my waffle and pancake menu made it. I'll also make a menu for the kids, but not for sale, because I'll have a reunion with my friend here."

"Alright Miss, it's up to you what it looks like. We're glad you're here again to cook with us." Matilda said, followed by nods from Ami and Ben.

Ben prepared a coffee menu and prepared a few drinks.

Matilda was busy making cakes in the kitchen, Timmy prepared ingredients for the food menu.

That morning, the city began. The smell of coffee spread outside the store inviting people to enter the store and enjoy breakfast there.

Andy has come and is preparing a visitor order. Kara was ready at the snack post. The shop was full of visitors that morning.

As the visitors begin to quiet down, Kara goes into the kitchen and picks up the mineral water and gulps it down. He wiped the sweat that soaked his cheeks, Andy smiled at his sister.

"How was your first day?"

"I'm fine, pretty fun."

"This is for you!" Andy thrust out a plate containing his homemade menu.

Kara tasted it, and smiled while nodding her head.

"Very delicious!" Kara gave her thumb.

Kara sees Claire's shadow enter the store, then leaves Andy to meet her best friend.

Claire smiled when she saw Kara, and then they hugged each other and missed each other.

Kara greets Kenny who is holding her daughter Nina.

"Come over here!" Kara guides Claire and her family to a corner of the room, which she has prepared to gather with her friends.

Timmy put a pot of coffee and tea on the table, then some cookies and other food on the table. Nina happily immediately picked up the Waffle that was in front of her.

"Mama, I want this!" it's exciting for Claire.

Claire helps Nina prepare on the plate for her daughter to eat.

Kara helps compose on Nina's plate, and smiles at the boy.

"Please sweet boy!"

"Thank you Auntie." Nina ate the waffle without a sound.

"I'm fine. This time I decided to help Papa keep an eye on the restaurants in San Francisco and Las Vegas."

"Wow. So you're right to go back to the family business" Claire said.

"How are you doing, Kenny?"

"I'm fine, my job is as good as ever."

"Do you often go back to the village?" ask Kara again.

"When we were off, we paid a visit to her grandmother Claire's place. My father was gone early last year." Lenny replied with a bow, then looked at Kara.

"I'm so sorry!" Kara patted Kenny's shoulder sympathetically.

Before long Jeff opens the door followed by Stella and Noah behind.

Kara warmly welcomes their arrival.

Kara stared at Noah's old son Stella. His face especially those eyes belonged to Josh. Kara knew him well.

"Come here, please enjoy the treat!"

Stella realizes that Kara often notices Noah, even the two of them chatting with each other as if they have known each other for a long time.

"This is the best pancake I've ever eaten!" exclaim Noah.

"really?" Said Kara pura surprised.

"Mama used to bring me here, but this pancake is different, it tastes better... Oh, is this Aunt Kara who made it?" Noah seemed to realize it.

Kara smiled and nodded. Noah shut his mouth in surprise, but was elated.

"Can I take a picture with you?" tanyanya politely.

"Of course." Noah takes a small camera of his birthday present, and takes a selfie with Kara.

Everyone laughed happily and joked to enjoy the dishes in the shop.

Kevin watched Kara and her friends joking from outside the store, he just saw if there was Stella in there. He wanted to undo his steps to enter, but on the other hand his heart wanted to introduce his lover to Stella so as not to misunderstand.

Kevin decides to go into the tavern and join them all.

Kenny saw Kevin open the door, he stood up and approached his best friend. They hugged each other and shook hands. Kenny and Kevin headed to the gathering place.

Kara prepares one more plate for Kevin and acts like no problem.

Kevin greeted Jeff and chatted, apologizing for the misunderstanding.

Jeff responded with a laugh, "It doesn't matter to me. Kara and Claire are my best friends. I've been threatened by their girlfriends a lot in school, so it's common with misunderstandings" he said. Kara and Claire laugh, remembering the memories of their time in school.

Kevin looked at the clumsy looking Stella in the middle of this reunion.

"I'm so glad Claire, Kenny, and Kara are supporting me in connecting with Stella" Jeff continued, making Kevin surprised, Stella just smiled shyly to hear Jeff tell the story of the beginning of their relationship. Noah also sometimes chimed in. Noah is overjoyed by Jeff's presence, as if having someone when his mother can't help him.

Kevin looked at Kara, and Kara just smiled. He knows, Kara deliberately still covers their relationship, but this time Kara he believes Kara will not hide anymore.

"How did you get here? Is it on vacation?" kenny asked, astonished to see Kevin's presence in the tavern. He felt that his best friend was not just a coincidence present there.

"I'm celebrating Thanksgiving with my extended family here, while wanting to visit my friend."

"So we're really reunion huh." Kenny confirmed.

"Kara, it looks like you've moved on from your grief?" Claire realizes that Kara is no longer wearing an engagement ring with Josh.

Kara smiled as she looked at Kevin, Claire, Kenny, and Stella frowned at each other.

"Are you guys..!?" Claire pointed at Kara and Kevin.

Kara cuddled up to Kevin, grabbed him by the shoulder, then kissed him on the cheek.
