Episode 28 - Old Friend Or CLBK? (4)
In the cafe, Darwin cs was greeted warmly by Miss Lily, Mimi's mother, as well as Mr. Sastro the security guard and Sylvia, the coffee maker who still faithfully works in the cafe. Miss Lily immediately greeted Darwin. “Son Darwin, Mimi already told me that Nak Darwin and friends want to help in this family cafe, Auntie is very grateful you know!”
Darwin nodded with a smile. “Ah is nothing Mom, as a good friend, we are obliged to help Mimi who is in trouble, and we are very grateful to have been given the opportunity to gain experience in this Aunt family cafe.”
Ms. Lily nodded with a smile, amazed at Darwin's modesty and humility, and she felt a burning spirit of optimism in Darwin as she looked into the young man's eyes, “Well, if so, please Nak Darwin put forward his ideas.”
Darwin nodded. “Well, first of all I want to see the menu first.” then Sylvia gives the menu book in the cafe, Darwin also looked at the menus.
“Actually our cafe only provides western cuisine and also our specialization is coffee, but in the past we also provided some special Indonesian cuisine menu for catering orders, not for ala carte menus.” said Mimi.
Darwin thought for a moment, then. “In my opinion, if we only provide western cuisine for ala carte, we will be difficult to compete here, because there are so many rival cafes in the Kemang region that provide western cuisine, he said, how about we change the concept a little bit to Cafe & Resto? The menu we add with Indonesian and Asian cuisine, how?”
“Then who is the chef then? Because by chance our chef has stopped, just stay Sylvia who is an expert in making coffee.” Ask Miss Lily.
“Yesterday we have all been deliberating, for the cooking part we have agreed that Cynthia and myself and assisted by Devi who will take care of the cooking part, Cynthia handles Appetizer and Maincourse for Asian cuisine, while I won the Maincourse for Indonesian cuisine and western cuisine and Desert, assisted by Devi as Assistant and of course Sylvia who will handle the problem of drinks.” replied Darwin.
“Lho nak Darwin can cook?” Ask Miss Lily, though,
“Iya can you cook Win?” connect Mimi.
Darwin nodded. “Can, how about we try now?” Ms. Lily and Mimi looked at each other, then let them into their kitchen. With food ingredients still left in the refrigerator, Darwin, Cynthia, and Devi immediately cooked, Darwin also asked Sylvia to make coffee with variants that were once the mainstay of this cafe menu.
Before long, there was Shrimp Salad, Bestik Ala Solo, Chicken Burn Sambal Petis, Fried Rice Ala Thai, Gurame Sauce Singapore, Chocolate Melted Cake, as well as Viena Ice Tiramisu Coffe at Mimi and Miss Lily's table. Miss Lily, Mimi, and the others gulped when they saw and smelled the aroma of the dishes, they immediately tasted it, and chuckled in amazement at the taste, “Maknyus!” exciting Fina, “Prikitiew really!” praise Mimi, yes they all praise the cuisine of Darwin, Cynthia, Devi assisted by Sylvia, even the cuisine ‘tester’ was exhausted without the rest of the devoured Mutia, Togar, and Dony whose appetite was amazing.
“Amazing! Now Auntie believes in your expertise in cooking!” praise Bu Lily, “You learned to cook where Win?” Ask Mimi.
“Oh I used to cook lessons first.” replied Darwin who had taken cooking lessons and made cakes first.
“Ok, the menu problem has been fixed, now what else?” Ask Mimi.
Darwin thought for a moment, “Hmm.. how if the name of this cafe we change it to give a new image?”
A while later, after a long discussion, the division of tasks was completed, Darwin, Cynthia, Devi, and Sylvia served in the kitchen, Fina who happened to have a business as a food supplier, Fina, organizing the supply of groceries, Mutia, Heru and Dony become Waiterss, Yumi and Andy who studied at Fikom are tasked to advertise this cafe and occasionally help as Waiterss, who is also a guest, while Togar with ‘forced’ helped Mr. Sastro's duties as security, Nicole and Carla became stage singers in the cafe special holiday, Mimi also served as a keeper kassa, Kassa, and financial matters were handled directly by Ms. Lily.
The name of the cafe was changed to ‘Margareth Cafe & Resto’ taken from the middle name of Mimi, whose full name is Mimi Margareth Liem, according to mutual agreement, after that they went home to rest, because tomorrow will be a hard day for them to clean up and decorate the place to become a comfortable cafe.

The next day, Darwin woke up in the morning blind, he walked to his bathroom, his head was very dizzy and his ears were buzzing, after taking his medicine he then glazed in the mirror washbasin in his bathroom, and he was so full of sleep, he rubbed his head and some of his hair started to fall out.
“Yes Allah, it looks like my pocket is getting worse!” with my eyes.
He then remembered the words of Doctor Yudi and several other Doctors, that he needed a miracle to survive, even if operated on, the chance of success was very small.
At that moment suddenly the figure of Anisa flashed in his mind, yes he missed the presence of Anisa by his side, “Anisa ah, I miss you so much! Why are you even walking with Hasan?!” Various feelings raged in his heart, his chest felt tight, until his tears slowly flowed out.
“Should I tell Anisa the truth? Ah no! I don't want to burden Anisa, and maybe Anisa is better off walking with Hasan than with me dying!”
In the afternoon, it looks busy at the cafe, Darwin cs is cleaning and redecorating the cafe. There are some funny incidents when they do their job, Togar and Dony are tasked to fix the waterways, but because of their innocence, the channels are even more damaged and make them soaked! Togar with a berbafsu immediately curled the fat Dony. “Brawn times you! I told you to help me out, instead of getting me soaked!”
“Ouch! Dong Gar cave! The cave is just saying what you asked!” bela Dony while struggling, “Udah-Udah Woi! You guys fight anyway?” fina said with annoyance that broke them.
Meanwhile, in the backyard which was an open acreage, Darwin was painting the walls, at that moment Mutia ran past Darwin in a hurry, and Brangggg! He slipped by the tin of paint that Darwin was using to paint, Mutia whose face and clothes were straws of paint woke up and immediately attacked Darwin. “Heh! If nyimpen goods tuh ati-ati dong! I saw me fall! Where to blow up gini paint again!”
“Elu that the horse saw! Why the hell msti running around everything?!” the answer is no less.
Mimi immediately broke them.
“You guys are so on the storm anyway?” still lusting after him, Darwin pointed to Mutia.
“Tuh Danya noh! The road does not use eyes!”
Mutia immediately embalmed it “Elu tuh! Who doesn't nyimpen stuff!”
“Udah! Already! Don't fuss anymore!” snapped Mimi.
“Elu Tuh” grumbled Darwin, “Eluya nyolot anyway!” reply mutia grumbled.
In another room, Yumi and Andy were discussing to advertise Margaret's cafe and compose her menu, “So what is Yang?”
Andy thought for a moment, then snapped his finger. “Well! How if we have a promo price for one week to attract visitors, we continue to advertise in the same newspaper Radio and Web Campus?”
Yumi nodded, “Ok, great idea anyway, well we can also tell Nicole the same Carla to sing this cafe advertising jingle on campus radio!”
“Agree! And for the problem of the menu how?” sahut Andy's.
“Ya as we've rundingin, for the mainstay menu of this cafe is Shrimp Salad, Bestik Ala Solo, Chicken Burn Sambal Petis, Nasi fried Ala Thai, Gurame Sauce Singapore, Chocolate Melt Cake, and so on, the Viena Ice Tiramisu Coffe. There are still some small Bento menus for small children, plus sandwiches, and some frugal package menus.” replied Yumi, the two lovers continued to negotiate about their tasks amid laughter and jokes.
While in the kitchen, Cynthia, Devi, Sylvia, and Heru were checking the food supply. “Via, how to supply for its Beverage?” Cynthia asked Sylvia.
“Udah, done Cyn!” sylvia replied, then Cynthia glanced at Devi and Heru. “Heh! Don't letoy help the Devinya! Kasian Devinya if you letoy is his help!” reprimand Cynthia on Heru rather ‘payah’.
“But I cape really Cyn!” lamenting Heru, Cynthia glared at Heru. “Ah basic suck guy! My nyesel ama you!”
