He's Mine (Sharing Love)

Advice From Customers

The maid's aunt confessed, if yesterday-yesterday, the one who cooked the sweet spicy sour fish was not herself, but Jani, their own daughter-in-law.

"Had you guessed," said Edi's father, nodding his head without looking at his wife, who must have been blushing her face with embarrassment, anger and many more feelings.

"Kok Aunty didn't say that?" Sofie's mother, asked the maid's aunt, in an annoyed tone. She felt embarrassed, because that time had already praised herself, who had managed to teach the aunty maid to cook a good meal.

"Non.. non Jani, he asked Bibi to just shut up Nyah. Forgive aunt Nyah," replied the maid aunt stammering with fear. Moreover, he saw, Sofie's mother, her employer was looking annoyed and careless himself.

"Hemmm. means that the cooking course has not yet produced results Bi. Must be more diligent again," said Edi's father, with the intention of insinuating his wife, Sofie's mother.

Now, smiling happily when the aunt of the maid admitted that she was not the one who cooked at that time. He also believes, if Jani, is good at cooking, although not expert as well as the cooks are reliable.

Unlike Sekar who smiled, Yasmin actually frowned not to believe it just like that. He felt that if the aunt of the maid had deliberately cooked a bad meal, then admitted that yesterday was not the result of her own cooking.

"Auntie paid how much, by making up this story?" sahut Yasmin was rude. She was completely in disbelief, with a confession from the maid's aunt.

"real Non. Auntie didn't lie. Back then, Auntie wanted to speak the truth, but Non Jani came up behind Madam Mother, and shook her head and covered her mouth with her index finger."

Aunty maid, back to tell about the circumstances of that time, when Anjani was still in this house. He also said, if he did not teach Anjani, about forcing the sweet spicy sour fish. Anjani, already know for himself and memorize with all the necessary spices.

"I believe in Bi" said Sekar, smiling at the aunt.

Hearing that, the maid's aunt smiled at Sekar. He felt happy, because in this house there are people who believe in his words, and also not hostile to Anjani, as their daughter-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Do you believe? why?" yasmin asked quickly, to her sister.

"Because a day later, I asked Ms. Jani for help, put up an elpiji gas canister and she was able to do it. He also cooks vegetable omlets for Sekar. Though at that time, Sekar wanted to make instant noodles for breakfast. Aunt remember that? when my aunt came home from the market, we were both still at this dinner table, with empty plates. In fact, the aunt who helped clean the dishes and also the bowl of the egg."

The maid's aunt nodded, confirming the words of her young miss, Sekar. But Sofie and Yasmin's mother, still unaffected by all the stories about Anjani, because of hatred and dislike, had settled in both of their hearts.

Edi's father, smiling faintly heard the words and stories about Anjani, his daughter-in-law, from the aunt of the maid and her own son, Sekar.

"Both of you, can still not believe and dislike Anjani. But let them, who also like and know the advantages possessed by Anjani. Because basically, likes and dislikes are from ourselves. I can only hope that, someday, you, who do not like Anjani, can also accept Anjani as part of our family with airy chest and no hatred for each other."

Yasmin and Sofie's mother, just keep quiet and don't listen to the words of Edi's father. The two of them, remained unaffected in any way.

Edi's father, could only let out a long sigh. He felt a failure because, his son, Yasmin, with his own wife, no one obeyed his words.

In Bogor, Anjani and Abhimanyu lived their days together happily. The two of them, helping each other in work and advancing his home cafe business Anjani.

Abhimanyu, provide new ideas for the menu and layout of existing facilities. They redesigned it, so that customers would not get bored. They can also enjoy different dishes and atmosphere than usual.

"Mas. It's good to put where?" anjani asked her husband, pointing to the large aquarium on the side of the cashier.

"Hemmm.it seems better to see that it is near the entrance deh Darling," replied Abhimanyu, narrowing his eyes. He thought, if the ornamental fish in the aquarium, could attract the attention of visitors.

"We try it for a week. If a miracle happens and the customer is interested, let it stay there, but if there is no effect, we can move it to another place again" Abhimanyu said, giving advice.

Finally, Anjani called her employees, to help her husband, move the aquarium from the side of the cashier to a more strategic place, which is near the entrance to the cafe of his house.

"Well, better and there's a different view from the outside." Abhimanyu smiled with satisfaction, as the aquarium succeeded in. He observed from a place not too far from outside the courtyard of the house.

"Mas. Don't go out either ah," said Anjani, who felt bad because he saw some people passing by.

"Lho, it's okay. Who knows, someone will be curious later, they keep stopping by. It could be a sell-out!" sahut Abhimanyu, once he had returned to the place, where Anjani stood waiting for him.

"Mas, there's-there's just. There is also a sign of the cafe in front. There are also in some places, for promotion."

From the beginning of opening, Anjani has made billboards, which could be a promotional event for this home cafe. That is why, his cafe, can be quickly recognized, and also in demand by the community. In addition to the relatively affordable price for all people, there is a special place for children to play. So they will not get bored if the parents are eating casually, because while talking with family or friends who come together.

"Thank you, Mom. Already want to help Jani, develop this cafe business," said Anjani, while holding her husband's hand.

Abhimanyu, welcome the hand of Anjani. He squeezes her out slowly, hinting that she will always be there for Anjani, under any circumstances later.

Moments later, there were customers who entered with some family members as well as their children. Quickly, all of them are looking for a comfortable and safe seat for their children.

"We sit in a chair near the fish pond alone" suggested one of them who came.

"No want! that's it, near the big aquarium. It's good Ma.. just want to be there!"

"Yes there."

"Yes Ma, look at that."

"But, it's near the road dear. You can forget, and even go out into the streets," said one of the young mama, who came along. He was worried about the safety of his children.

The young mother, directing their children, to play in the game arena that is behind and close to the usual fish pond. Although in fact, their children whine and ask to be able to see the aquarium in front there.

Anjani and Abhimanyu, who heard the children's words with the young mother, were shocked. The two of them had not paid attention to the safety of the children, who wanted to see the aquarium, without the control of the adults who invited them. This can be another cause, from the inconvenience of incoming customers.

"Mas," call Anjani short.

Abhimanyu nodded in understanding what his wife wanted to say. He approached the visitors, then said to them, "sorry, everyone. We had just moved the aquarium forward, but we didn't seem to notice the condition of the children who wanted to see. We forgot, if the entrance is on the side of the road and it could endanger safety. We will soon move the aquarium to the game area only. Let the children be content to see the fishes, which he has in them."

Abhimanyu, come closer together with Anjani. The two of them, chatted with the customer for a while.

"Well, yes. That's a good idea. Sorry, kids are like that. But this is also for safety," said the young mother earlier.

"Yes, thank you. We are grateful, because with all that happened, we finally realized, if safety remains the main."

Abhimanyu and Anjani, instead feel happy and grateful to the customer, because of the advice given to his children earlier. The advice, has opened the minds of Abhimanyu and Anjani, to prioritize the safety of customers, who come to the cafe of his house.
