Aretta & Secrets

Grand Opening

"Try right by the way. He might not have been watching me. Maybe even more thoughts aja eat his behavior strange tone." I convinced Rafa and he agreed to that while justifying his seat. Maybe now the Lord looks silent and not much behavior, but the look of his black eyes still shows lust and evil plans that make my body shudder.

I shook my head and tried to focus on the material this time, but when I looked forward, those eyes would always find me staring at me. My body immediately shook violently when our gazes met and it made the nausea rise to the throat as if I could have collapsed if our gazes still met again.

I was like that because the gaze that I was given was very terrible and again I also did not think out with him who was still bothering me. Fortunately the lesson was over and this time I was able to leave the class quickly without having to engage in cheap drama that made me have to be trapped together with Mr. God. I was lucky, but he still threw a lustful look at me.

Once out of the classroom, Rafa immediately hooked his arm to my arm as we had to head for the next class. The presence of Rafa really helped and made me not too late in thinking about the Lord.

"God is such a jerk. I don't like the way he looks at you." Rafa hissed while growling softly. I can only laugh nervously because Rafa still doesn't know the story between me and the Lord.

Rafa and I were still in a conversation when someone suddenly bumped into me from behind. I didn't fall down because Rafa was holding me back. When I turned my head, I found Aidan who appeared to be very hasty. The man just muttered an apology and immediately stepped away without looking back. It still did not feel willing to be treated so coldly by the man.

The news delivered on the school floor today is, we will face the graduation exam a week and a half from now. After the exam I decided to work at Brezee while thinking about what future steps I would take. At first I will leave in a year because I have prepared a list. I also plan to cross out every step I have made. But it's still in the plan.

After class, I went home with Rafa. Now the empty Brezee has turned into a store that is ready to run. The table and chair are installed. Some mugs and cutlery and various types of drinks have been stored neatly in the kitchen. Near the window there is an arm sofa that is installed gracefully, then to the right of the room there are bookshelves that are installed neatly

"We still have a lot of work to do." A voice sounded from behind my shoulder. I turned around and found Rafa there, "lo don't think that I'm here just to take you to doang, do you?" He said again before I could ask him what he was doing here, "gue also wanted to see how your store was developing. And the results are cool." He stared at the room as he turned around, observing the entire store.

I immediately grabbed a sketch of my ashes that were placed on the wall especially criticism advice. It's a new style that I proposed and thankfully accepted by everyone. I looked at the room again. Although the store has been merged, there are still two storefronts that do not fit the concept, and I want to save the storefront and replace it into a bookcase only.

I immediately informed Rafa of my plan and we immediately started to move the bookshelf. Several times we also called Gio to help, because to be honest even though both of our strengths are still very lacking. Finished with the shelves, we immediately filled with books according to the genre. We also work on other shelves.

It didn't feel like it was late afternoon as soon as we finished half of it, and Rafa had to leave too. He has to learn. After saying a bite, I accompanied the woman only through the eyes because I still have to do my own part.

The grand opening event was forced to be postponed because the preparation was time-consuming, fortunately Gio had not spread the invitation so there was no misscom that was not needed.

The night came too soon. Fortunately, all the books were in his home. I let out a loud sigh and sat on the cardboard of the former book. Now I admire my work.

"Udah finished?" Gio's voice intruded from behind me, "thank you for your hard work, but you have to go to sleep now because tomorrow there are still many tasks waiting. I'll stay here to check once again." I left, because honestly it was exhausting to put all the books into place.

I immediately took a shower and immediately lay down as soon as I got to the room. That night, I didn't bother to study or do the rest of the homework. I was too tired to do anything else, even I didn't hear Gio's voice coming up after making sure everything was on the first floor. In the end, the work of arranging the book to come into the dream.

***

The sun was shining warmly as soon as I opened my eyes. Finally, it was the real grand opening day after the many jobs of the previous day. At first, while going through the renovation process, I didn't fully believe that we were going to make it, but when I found out that if we made it through, it felt really amazing.

I squeezed out of my bed and opened the window curtain, hoping that the sunlight would penetrate the window and warm my beautiful morning. Unfortunately, it was after the rain. The atmosphere was overcast and the sky was filled with slightly dark gray clouds. I hope it's not a sign of anything bad.

That sense of impatience grew tremendously throughout the week. I really hope everything goes well. After getting ready, I went downstairs and immediately checked everything I could check. Piles of toast and milk that has been put in a glass are available at the counter table. Without asking anyone for permission, I took one stalk and ate it. That's chocolate jam. Everyone seemed to be relaxing and joking with each other. My unsettled eyes stayed, looking around the room and finding Aidan sitting in the corner of the sofa with a gaze that looked several times at me. He also looks agitated.

I feel like he wants to talk to me. Finished with breakfast ala-ala, I decided to walk to her place and she still kept looking at me.

I didn't stop in front of Aidan. I deliberately stood at a table that was only five meters away with him. The gaze gave a look of regret, but it was only for a moment that until the next minute he turned his face back into that annoying Aidan. That's the expression he's been showing me the last week, which has made me so nervous. I almost forgot my goal and decided not to go to the man. He would definitely come straight to me if what he wanted to talk about was really important.

I'm sick of seeing it like that.

Don't get me wrong! Every time he glanced at me or I looked up at the corridor and saw him, my heart was still pounding. I even cursed myself. I still find it hard to hold back or ignore, but now that I see him who can act as if there is no problem, I think I can do it too.

I checked out, saw how it was outside. The scent of an embon, the sepoian of the wind, and the sound of a horn had already filled the surroundings. I looked to the right and left, then looked back at the results of our hard work. The shop looks amazing. I'm looking. Now our store has a Brezee nameplate with shining lights. Looking around, everything seems balanced between a bookstore and a cafe. Both create the impression of a small but very comfortable room.

I went back in, and the old bell rang. The same bell used in the old Brezee store.

The sound, the health, the aroma of coffee, the sweet aroma of cake, and the smell of books, give a warm feeling like being in a crack. This way, I do not need to go out to buy drinks and with this cafe, the time to read books comfortably is getting resolved faster.

"What do you think of?" I heard a voice behind me, but I had no intention of turning around.

I just went straight to the answer, "It'a Amazing! I can't believe it's all over at last. It still feels like a dream" I said, still staring around the shop.

The color of the walls, clean and neat furniture, counter with a glass display case that contains a variety of dessert, as well as yellow lights that shine and spread warmth.

"I love it" I whispered slowly. A little laugh from behind me made me spin and my sharp gaze was straight on him.

"Yes Aretta. We have been working hard for three months. I didn't think we could do business together either." Gio looked down, as if he was thinking about something, "our combo is amazing indeed." He smiled with pride. I told him not to remember the past. I was tortured, but it was just a story that I had to go through, for now, I just want to enjoy the happiness with Gio.

I'm smiling too.

"Grand opens at 9. The goddess will also come."

"That means we stay ready, yes." I commented while watching Gio from top to bottom. He was still wearing the dirty clothes he used to paint the shop and move things, "luckily I'm ready," I muttered mockingly at him. He just rolled his eyes and pushed me slowly.

"It's because of the girls that prepare eats time."

It was my turn that rolled my eyes and it made her laugh.
