After the Rain

Table 13

"Viral cupcakes?" repeat Yandri while linking his eyebrows.

"True, Mr. .. who is like this," Ninda replied as she showed a photo of the cake.

Yandri smiled faintly when he saw the appearance of the cake his mother wanted. For a moment, he glanced at the watch. Still at three in the afternoon, hmm maybe the cake is still available, the inner. Yandri then said goodbye to the owner of the parlor.

Out of the nursing home, Yandri drove his vehicle to the urban center. She searched the Stars Bakery pastry shop to buy the viral cake her mother wanted. Yandri realized, all this time he could not take good care of his mother. For that, whatever the mother wants, as much as possible Yandri will try to make it happen.

After almost half an hour of walking around the city center, Yandri finally found the cake shop he was looking for. The shop is not very big, and slightly jutting back. Therefore, twice Yandri went down this road, Yandri did not find him. Only after asking the rickshaw brothers who rode around the road, Yandri also found Stars Bakery.

Yandri parked his car. After exiting his vehicle, he stared at the decorations that were at the entrance. An anime picture that makes him instantly remember his daughter.

"Where are you, son. I miss you guys so much" muttered Yandri.

"Can I help you, sir?"

Suddenly someone rebuked Yandri because of the position Yandri stood in, indeed blocking the way.

Yandri. His forehead frowned at the sight of the woman who was around 25-27 years old standing before him.

"Are you the owner of this cake shop?" ask Yandri.

"Oh no, sir. I'm just a waiter here. The owner is Da–'s mother"

"Ah, stop!" Yandri cut off the woman's words. "I'm looking for a cake like this. Is there?" tanya Yandri showed me a photo of the viral cupcake that the nursing home nurse had sent.

"It just so happens that the cupcake is up, sir," replied Ratih.

"So right, the cake was sold here?" ask Yandri to make sure.

"Right, sir," said Ratih.

"Emh .. Can I find it elsewhere?" Yandri asked again.

"It's impossible, sir. Because the cupcake is an icon in our cake shop. And the only place the cake sells, is this cake shop" Ratih explained.

"Hmm, I see," muttered Yandri as he stroked his thin beard. "Can't you make it back?" Yandri asked again.

"Wow, can't sir! All that can make it is a mother, and it just so happens that today the mother is delivering her child who wants to PKL in the city of Garut," replied Ratih.

"Mother? Who's mother?" asked Yandri, frowning.

"He's my boss, sir. The owner of this cake shop," replied Ratih.

"Is that so ...? When did he come home? Can I order it tomorrow?" yandri Cecar.

"So the hell mom said, mom's coming back tonight. It seems possible, sir. Let me tell my mother later. Do you want to order how many seeds?" ask Ratih.

"How many boxes are there, Ma'am? Yandri asked back.

"6 seeds, sir," replied Ratih.

"Oh yes, I ordered five boxes only. At what time can I take it?" yandri.

"Around 10 am, sir," Retorted.

"Yes, tomorrow I come back again at 10 am" said Yandri.

"Okay sir, thank you for the order," said Ratih while slightly bowing his body.

"Together."

Yandri can be a little calmer now. At least, tomorrow he can fulfill his mother's wish. Hmm, from the looks of it the cake looks good. Yandri was curious to immediately taste it.

.

.

Next day.

"Yes, Mom. Yesterday there were orders as much as the lit box," replied Ratih.

"No, you didn't say, Rat. You know, I can make more for stock," added Daniar.

"Sorry, Mom. Train forget," said Ratih.

"Yes already, not pa-pa," replied Daniar who immediately put the mini cupcakes into the box.

.

.

At 9 a.m., Yandri was already looking neat. With a face, he drove his car out of the housing. Yandri's face looks radiant, probably because he has managed to realize his mother's wishes.

Somewhere else. Ratih brought all five boxes of viral cupcakes to the cashier's table.

"Bu Ratih has an exit order. The star, 'is not there, while Nia can not ride the bike, so Ratih anterin," said Ratih.

"Continue?" asked Daniar, looked up and looked at Ratih, astonished.

"Yes continue ... Ratih wants to leave the order of the man," replied Ratih cengengesan, "he said anyway, want to be taken around the 10s," he added.

"Oh yes, put it there. On whose behalf, Rat?" tanya Daniar will record the name of the orderer in the payment note.

"That's the problem, ma'am," Ratih said, scratching his head.

"You mean?" ask Daniar, astonished.

"Anu, Madam ... Ratih forgot the name of the person, hehehe," replied Ratih, smiling.

"Astaghfirullah ... Trained," Daniar replied as he shook his head.

After apologizing, Ratih went to deliver the cake online order.

At 10 o'clock, Yandri arrived at the cake shop he had visited yesterday. His forehead frowned at the sight of people coming in and out through the shop door. I don't know what cakes are available here. So that makes the visitors tiled enter it.

Yandri circulated his gaze, his smile expanding as he looked at the young people who were engrossed in enjoying brownies and a cup of coffee. The smell of both, tickles Yandri's sense of smell.

"Hmm, there's no harm in me enjoying a little time before visiting mother," murmured Yandri.

With light steps, Yandri then enters the cake shop and orders a cup of arabica coffee and brownies that remind him of his ex-wife.

"Please, Sir. Table number 13," said Nia while handing over the change and table number to Yandri.

The tall man circulated a glance to look for the table number. "Ah, that's it!"

Yandri called out little. He then approached the table that was in the corner of the room. A table that is quite quiet and suitable to calm down or chat with a partner without having to be disturbed by people passing by.

Yandri pulls one of the chairs on table number 13. He also sat on foot while enjoying the paintings of motivational anime who did not know who made it.

"Whose order is this, Ni?" ask Daniar after finishing making black arabica coffee.

"Oh, that's table number 13, ma'am. Later Nia deliver after this transaction," replied Nia who is serving customers.

"No need, let me be," said Daniar, "all the brownies too, right, Ni" he added.

"Yes, Mom."

Daniar keeps coffee and brownie dishes in a tray. He then swung his steps towards table number 13.

"Excuse me, Mas. Here's the order, sorry to wait so long" Daniar said, putting a cup of coffee and a plate of brownies on the table.

Yandri's heart skipped a beat hearing a familiar voice. A voice he had longed for. That ring? yandri's inner self when he saw the diamond-eyed ring still embedded in the lentic ring finger of the woman who always adorned his dreams.

"Mother?!"
