BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Back Rise

This Sunday, Prita invites Ayash to see the shophouse he rented to set up the cafe of his dreams. The location is quite strategic because it is close to the US campus. The look of the two-story shophouse was quite seedy, making Ayash a little lazy to go inside.

"How much is the rent?" ask Ayash while looking at the conditions around the shophouse.

"cheap, really. Just 16 million." Prita answered enthusiastically.

"It's cheap, it's a shabby place like this."

"Can be cleaned and repainted."

Ayash pulls Prita and exposes her to the street in front of him, "See this, the position of the shophouse is right at the fork in the road. If people say, his name is skewers. Not good for effort."

"That's just superstition. Besides, I already paid for it. It's just free for you to say it now. I'll keep running my cafe."

Ayash shook his head, "Why not have a discussion first anyway... "

"I had a good feeling when I first found this shophouse. So, even though Raya has reminded me that this shophouse is haunted, I don't care. Later I will paint this shop nicely so that the horror impression is lost."

"If you like this shop so much, I can buy it for you."

"No, if I'm successful, I'll buy it myself."

Ayash just shook his head. Looks like Prita is building a business.

"Come with me!" Prita pulls Ayash's hand and takes him into the shophouse.

Ayash has absolutely no intention of entering, but Prita forces him to come along. The lower room looked messy, dusty and damp. The building's mark has long been unused. Prita continued to lead him up the stairs until he reached the second floor.The upper floor room looked cleaner than the bottom. The glass window in the direction of the balcony is very wide so that light can enter with the maximum.

"The second floor can be used for shelter."

Ayash frowned, "Why stay here, you're already living in my apartment."

"Who said I wanted to stay here? I'm just saying, this could be a place to live."

"I think it's better the second floor is also used for customer places. The view is pretty good. What's the concept of the cafe?"

"I want to make a Korean cafe. The target market is young people, surely they like Korean food."

"Can you cook Korean food?"

Prita smiled shyly, "Hehehe... "

"So, who's cooking?"

"I'll learn. If it's not satisfactory, I'll take a cooking course."

Ayash patted his forehead, "Why rush to rent a place if the concept of his business is not yet mature. If you're just learning, when's the way?"

As soon as Prita's spirit of effort was gone, "Yes, I was a fool. I don't know anything about business!"

Ayash smiled, apparently his words made Prita angry. He walked closer and hugged her.

"Already, already.I'm sorry. Tomorrow, I will help you find the right people to build your dream business. Including the best chefs to create special menus in this cafe."

"Yes, thank you. I was always rash to make a decision. I'm used to working and it feels weird being unemployed."

Bruk!!!

I heard the sound of falling things. They were both shocked and instantly released a hug.

"Is the ghost disturbed?" ask Ayash.

"St... Don't discuss. Come out real!" Prita closed her body in fear.

"You rent this shophouse, why be afraid of yourself?"

"Don't talk about it again! Let's go quickly!" Prita rushed down the stairs.

*****

As per Ayash's previous promise, he introduced some people who would help Prita make her dream cafe a reality.

"Hello, everybody. This is Prita, my girlfriend. He needs your help to build the cafe of his dreams. Please help, yes."

Ayash introduces Prita to the competent people he chooses. In fact they are the professionals that Ayash personally recruited and paid to help Prita. But, he told Prita that they are his friends and want to help Prita from scratch because they want to add experience. If Prita finds out their payment is quite expensive, surely he will immediately refuse.

"Prita, this is Icha. He is an interior designer. He'll help you create the atmosphere of a Korean cafe."

Prita shakes hands with Icha.

"This is Brisia, an expert in managerial. He will help you recruit employees and train them to work well."

Prita shaking hands with Brisia.

"It's Yoga, the accounting expert, who will teach you how to make notes and financial statements."

Prita then shakes hands with Yoga.

"This is Mr. Diki who will help you make Korean-style menus. You can learn too."

Prita shook hands with Mr. Diki, "Sir, teach me to make kimchi, yes."

"Ready, Mba Prita." replied Mr. Diki.

"Mmm. What could possibly make a nice cafe, huh?" Prita was a bit hesitant because the people he met seemed to be very expert.

Ayash gave them a code to answer.

"Enough, really! Mba Prita just trust me, it must be done. I guarantee, this business can run well." said Yoga.

Previously they had been told to obey and accept all Prita's wishes. If there is a shortage, Ayash will add to it. In fact, unbeknownst to Prita, he had bought a shophouse that Prita rented. Although honestly the place can not be said to be good for business, but for the sake of Prita, he wanted to buy it.

"Thank you, I'm getting excited for this effort."

"I'm also excited, Mba, to add to the experience." said Icha, "Oh, yes, what Mba Prita can give an idea, how the desired cafe design? I will be able to make an example of the design."

Then Prita explained what the cafe look like in his imagination to Icha. Everybody listen to me. They do have to unite perceptions so that the dream cafe can be realized.

In addition to the design of the cafe, they also discuss about cafe employees. Prita wants her employees to dress up in Korean style using hanbok, but there is a modern touch. He also asked for photo spots and rental of traditional Korean clothes in his cafe.

For the menu at the cafe, he wanted typical Korean food that is commonly shown in Korean dramas. He said it would invite the attention of many young people to stop at his cafe later.

"What is the name of the cafe, Mba Prita?" ask Mr. Diki.

"I don't know yet, sir. Mmm... Maybe you have a suggestion, Yash?" ask Prita to Ayash.

"Hmmm..it might be Agma Cafe or Yulyeong Cafe" Ayash said with a smile.

Prita hit Ayash's arm and swung his mouth, "You're the name?"

"I'll be inspired by the last condition of the shophouse when we see it. Good, his name." Ayash laughed a lot.

"It doesn't fit the concept! It is a cheerful and warm cafe. Just look later if it's been made over Mba Icha!"

Icha gave her thumb.

"Why are you angry? That's just my proposal. You asked yourself." protested Ayash.

"What does Yulyeong Cafe mean, mba?" ask Icha curious.

"Phantom cafe!"

"Hahaha." everyone laughed after knowing the meaning of Prita.
