" You work part time here? " ask Novia after downing Candra's guava juice.
Candra smile. " This shop is mine. "
" Have a mas? " ask Novia to make sure.
Candra nodded.
" When did you get this shop? How did Nov never know? "
" It's been a while. When working in the factory first, mas has started pioneering this store. Sorry if I haven't told you. The plan, I want to give you a surprise on your birthday a few months ago. Well, you guys would propose to you. " Candra slightly lowered her head to dispel her nervousness.
" Dad.." Novia frowned yet understood the direction of Candra's conversation.
" Mad, will the story. But Nov promised, don't think too much about it. Let's just say mas is confiding with friends mas. "
Novia nodded.
Candra smiled before continuing her story. " Dik Nov remember, once said the same mas, if you want to have a part-time business. Have a shop. I secretly started this business. Mas used to hope, when we get married, then this business we will run both. Nov sure wonders why his name is Alisy cafe, right? "
Candra smiled back. " Because I set up this business for you, so give me your name, your name. "
" Bentar... bentar..mas said married? Apply? Novia doesn't understand. Didn't mas always refuse to return the same Novia?"
" I'm sorry I always said I couldn't go back. That's not what's in my heart. I intend to marry you. But destiny says something else. Now, Nov is someone else's wife. So, no need to talk about it. It will be a baper. " Candra laughed lightly.
Novia smile. " Once again, forgive Novia. "
" So I said, don't think about it. Oh yes, because in Nov has arrived here, then in Novia must taste the menu here. Okay.." - Okay..."
" But mas..Nov.." -..."
" Eits. Just sec. Get me the menu book. It looks like mas still keeps a menu book here. "cut Candra while standing and walking towards his desk to look for a menu book.
" There you go. " Candra found the menu book she was looking for. " Let's choose. What do you want to eat?"
Novia received the menu book. Then open. When his eyes saw the image of roasted chicken with green chili sauce, Novia suddenly swallowed her saliva.
Novia showed the picture to Candra.
" You want this roast chicken?" ask Candra.
Novia nodded. " Same as this. "
Candra nodded with a smile looking at Novia's child-like facial expression that was wanting something.
Then Candra came out to prepare the food Novia wanted. She cooked the food Novia wanted herself. Because he remembered, Novia did not like the cuisine of the chef.
After almost half an hour, finally the food chosen Novia so. Candra immediately took him to her study.
Novia was laying her body down on the long sofa that was in Candra's study when Candra came in.
" Food ready. Come eat. "
Candra put the plate on the table, then took a spoon and scooped the rice as well as grilled chicken. Candra intends to feed Novia. But Novia refused.
" Novia eats herself. " Novia was about to pick up the spoon in Candra's hand. But Candra kept the spoon out of Novia's reach.
" A bribe. I'm not sure if you eat with your own hands. "
" Same with me. Nov at best vomits. "
" Not tried yet. I'm sure, if it's a bribe, I don't want to vomit. Hem?"
" Hey?" Candra pointed the spoon in front of Novia's mouth.
Novia shakes. " Don't use a spoon. Wear hands directly. "
Candra smiled at Novia's request. He got up from his seat, went to the sink in his room, to wash his hands. Afterwards he sat back on the sofa in front of Novia sitting down.
He took the rice chili, also grilled chicken from the plate using his hand and pointed it at Novia's mouth. Novia opened her mouth.
The first feed goes into the stomach safely. Likewise with the second feed and so on until the rice on the plate runs out unceremoniously.
Candra smiled satisfied to see Novia could finish her rice without feeling nauseous in her stomach.
" Is that really what you said? You don't spit out your food in the same bribe?"
Novia nodded while smiling awkwardly.
" In that case, starting tomorrow, after work, ask Remon to come here. Mas bribe you. Let your baby get good nutrition too. " Candra rubbed Novia's head with her left hand while standing up to wash her hands.
Novia smiled and nodded.
" Aunty, how long did you buy it? It's going to be afternoon. "
" Try calling. "
Novia then picks up her phone and calls Susi.
" Assalamualaikum bi's. "
" Waalaikum salam. "
" Aunty's done not buying yet? It's a long time bi. "
" Aunty was done. This aunt has been at the cafe 'Alisy'" bi Susi deliberately emphasized the name Alisy to tease Novia with a smile.
Bi Susi is well aware that Candra loves Novia very much. The first time I saw the name of the cafe, I was sure that it was one of Candra's expressions of affection for Novia.
" Aunty. Why not Novia bi. Yes, Novia is out now. "
Call ended.
" Mum, aunt is already in front" said Novia as she cleaned her bag.
" Yeah, yuk ahead. "
They walked out of Candra's room. Actually, many Candra employees were whispering about Novia and Candra. They wondered who the pregnant woman the boss had brought into the room. As far as they know, the boss is not married.
" Aunty, Remon... Already from before?" ask Candra.
" Lot good at Candra. Nih, it's gone one glass. "Reported Remon showing an empty glass.
" Why not eat?" Say Candra while looking for employees who are not serving buyers.
" It's Candra. No need. Thanks though. It's afternoon. We need to get home soon. Fear mas Boby arrived home first " replied aunty.
" Come Bi." take Novia.
Then they say goodbye to each other and leave the cafe.
