7. My dreams and yours



The three owners of the small cafe decided to make a different theme every 3 months. They carry a European feel with a small photobooth in the corner of the room in the form of a red phone box with decorations that follow the current season.


In Indonesia there are only two seasons, so they adjust. When the rainy season, they will install autumn and winter-style decorations with menu recommendations that can warm the body. While in the dry season they prepare spring and summer decorations.


Usually they would close every Monday so they decided to change the decorations on that day. Kirana and Ningrum were at the accessories store looking for decorations that could support their concept while Lucy was at the cafe with Dimas and Keenan to move the table and chair arrangements. An artificial cherry tree was placed near the telephone booth and decorated with other decorations under the tree. They also create a wish tree so that customers can fill it with their dreams.


“It's been almost a year of your cafe running, the script is not to forget to be done too,” Keenan said to Lucy.


“Ngeledek you yes. It's up to trial,” said Lucy.


“That's a sign I have a brain dipake,” Keenan said.


“Solar lo. I don't want to graduate rich. I joined Ntar again,” said Lucy.


“I didn't actually join,” Keenan replied.


“Yes it's you don't join. You are busy dating. When do you want to treat a real lo girl?” ask Lucy.


“Later. If the diploma is in my hands directly come to Kirana's house,” said Keenan.


“Asik ya lo dating from the time of still kunyuk until now you are equally great. Lasting you with Kirana, if there is anything about him I throw your face with the chair,” said Lucy.


“Gue doain lo sama Bang Adnan cepet so too,” said Keenan.


“Huh? Ma..., I mean..., do you mean?!” ask Lucy stammering.


“Gue know you like Bang Adnan. So the prospective sister-in-law, the spirit of fighting for love,” said Keenan meledek Lucy.


“Besides you who else knows?” ask Lucy.


“Nknow. I think it's just me, except that Kirana sensitizes.”


“Please Kee, don't tell anyone yes. I'm ashamed of the oath. Some of my parents may not necessarily let me have a cop guy. Not necessarily also Bang Adnan want the same me. He is too focused as adeknya,” said Lucy with a sad face.


“Originally you sure everything can happen Cy. Trust me the same. I know the brothers well. Bang Adnan will not refuse if your intentions are good,” said Keenan embraced by Lucy.


Ningrum and Kirana had already returned to the cafe and they started working on everything. Starting from installing accessories on tables and windows, around storefronts, cash register tables, and so forth. They also decorate the windows with some cherry blossoms made with paper. They had Ningrum who was a hobby of origami so he made a lot of things. While on the table is placed a miniature eiffel tower and small knickknacks typical of spring.


Today they ended with dinner together while putting together something important. In addition Kirana will report financial matters, salary, weekly bonuses and so on, she also wants to invite them to talk about other things. Especially about recruitment.


“I'm still here Ki, why are you looking for a timer part,” said Keenan.


“Kee, soon you graduate. Don't you want to pursue your dreams?” ask Kirana.


“But being able to help you here is also one of my dreams. With me being successful together with you guys it is also one of my wishes,” said Keenan trying to convince Kirana.


Kirana shook her head, "Cafe is my dream Keenan, not you. Me, Lucy, and Ningrum whose dreams are here, and you're not. I know what your ideals are, I understand all your planning and I don't want to because you helped me in this cafe all your dreams are hampered."


“But I am sincere anyways you are still giving percentages,” said Keenan.


Under the table, Kirana tried to hold Keenan's hand to calm the contents of Keenan's head, “Keenan, I thank you very much for helping here. You can help me continue, but sooner or later you will walk to your future and when you are walking in that direction you will not be here. Don't try to sit in Kee's two chairs, I don't want you to fall,” Kirana said finally understandable by Keenan.


They immediately decided to find 2 employees. Keenan was still helping them by spreading his information. He also created his pamphlet and put it into the social media accounts of job seekers.


It didn't take long for them to finally find employees. Not a few who contact Keenan as a contact person intend to register. Tonight after the cafe closes they're back to close this thing. Kirana takes out all the applicants' files and selects them with Lucy, Ningrum, and Keenan.


“Kirana, this one has work experience as a barista for 3 years. Want to try an interview?” ask Lucy.


“What's the name?”


“Seno.”


“Ok keep yes,” said Kirana then wrote her name on a piece of paper.


Of the 28 applicants they selected the 5 best for them to interview and they tested how it works. From the recruitment they finally got 2 additional employees named Silma and Seno. Silma was immediately handed over to Dimas for guidance while Seno was told by Kirana about what he had to do.


“I know, I have 3 years of work so barista,” Seno said.


“Sen, you may be more experienced than me but you need to inget, I am still your boss. I will respect your experience but you yourself should be able to appreciate me as well. Understand?” kirana said because she felt Seno was almost over the line.


“He understands, Ma'am sorry,” Seno said.


Kirana wouldn't normally be offended by these little things, but this time she admitted she was being sensitive. He's been unwell since yesterday and some of his work is messed up. To cool his head, he filled the glass with ice cubes then mixed it with water. He intended to chug down the super-cold water immediately and Keenan who saw it immediately stopped it.


“Weits...,” says Keenan snatched the glass.


“Balikin Kee,” says Kirana.


“Do not drink, your stomach can be sick later,” Keenan said.


“What pain people don't get sick,” Kirana said.


“Ngak. You will be monthly again, again given healthy tuh guarded. Thank God it does not hurt, usually it can roll up your roll,” said Keenan.


Kirana according. He no longer tried to reach for the glass. He gave up and chose to just sit at the cashier table while doodling indistinctly. The cafe is also quiet because it is still working hours so Kirana does not have a job now.


Keenan saw Kirana looking like a badmood person then stepped inside the bar table and immediately opened the refrigerator. He grabbed the chocolate bar he had bought and immediately gave it to Kirana.


“Nih, eat first. If still badmood also said, I will make boba milk tea,” said Keenan while handing the chocolate to Kirana.


Kirana grabbed it and ate the chocolate without protest at all. Again Keenan showed how much attention he had on Kirana. She was no longer reluctant to hide her relationship with Kirana now. He was even caught several times accidentally wearing clothes that match his lover.
