Love Comes Too Late
The Part 68
"Prophe Alifa, you must be strong.If you are used to the storm, why do you have to shiver just because of the rain?, the spirit of Alifa, considering you still have a future that you have to fight".Alifa muttered, advising yourself to always be strong, not to give up just like that.
Alifa worked hard to strengthen herself, let her bear all the burdens of her own life.Toh, share the story with others for what if in the end it is only made into gossip only.
As expected Akmal, indeed this weekend feels more visitors than the previous weekend - weekend.Entah maybe visitors already know about the good looks of the owner of the cafe or just curious.
Alifa serves visitors tirelessly, smiling kindly welcomes visitors who come.Offering a new menu or just a little chattering.Of course it must be done to attract customers as a form of friendly hospitality.
All the employees were busy with their respective parts of the job, including Akmal who was busy with the files on his desk.
There are three files that must be completed.The file consists of income and expenses files, foodstuffs, and employee salaries.There is a massive overhaul in there, he said,pouring his ideas and ideas about employee salary and also the menu he wants to add to attract more visitors.
Not a new thing for Akmal, because he was used to the business of arranging employee salaries.But, the menu problem of course it is a new and foreign thing for him.
"Related.It turns out not as easy as what you imagine".Akmal complained, regretting his decision to hold the cafe branch previously held by his father.
"But, this difficult feeling is comparable to the one found by Alifa".Akmal murmured, smiling as he imagined the beautiful face of Alifa.
"Please Alifa for a moment, I will take you out of the rigors of life and I will make sure you come back into your family".Akmal said, impassioned.Tak know the problems faced by Alifa is not as easy as what he imagined.
Forget, ask or just know about the feelings of Alifa who was terribly injured.Not just a family problem.However, also because of his heartbreak that does not want to make it back.More choose to go as far as possible, looking for peace his version.
Not feel the time continues to roll too fast, the day changes the night, the sun is replaced by moonlight and the sparkling stars scattered adorn the night sky.
Nine o'clock in the evening is the time to end their work, rest for a moment to rest their bodies before tomorrow should be back in busy with routine,not for Alifa.She had to keep working as punishment.Jail behind the building that says 'cafe'.
"Al, you're not coming home?".Ask Fahri, to get ready for the cafe.
"Gak bang, I'm again punished because yesterday played take my free time.Abang go home first".Sahut Alifa, busy with mopping activities.
"Aren't you alone?".Ask Fahri, worried.
Well, how does he not worry while Alifa has to work overtime alone, where women anyway.It turns out only Alifa who work overtime as punishment.
Alifa put the handle of the mop into the bucket, gazing at Fahri full of confidence."I'm not papa fah, I can take care of myself really".Reply Alifa, smiling sweetly.
"I'm with ya?".
"And you go home immediately or you can also be punished just like Alifa".Gertak Akmal, giving a threat.
Fahri did not want to take risks, obeying the boss' orders was his safest position.
"And you".Akmal pointed at Alifa with an equally sharp gaze.
"Follow me into my room".Akmal said, interrupting Alifa.
Alifa followed Akmal's footsteps from behind, maintaining the distance between superiors and subordinates.
"You calculate the amount of profit and loss from this cafe".Akmal orders Alifa when they're in Akmal's room.
"Where's the file, sir?".Ask politely Alifa .
"More".Akmal threw the file in front of Alifa.
Alifa swiftly caught the file with a covetous heart."Aish, no manners really.If it wasn't for the need, where would I stay here".Grouser Alifa.
"I heard ya".Sentak Akmal, sitting back in his singasana chair.
"Listen on, when not".Alifa mumbled, not wanting her scolding to be heard again by Akmal.
Walking towards the sofa facing Akmal's chair, that's all Alifa could choose even if reluctant.But, there's no better position than that.
Focusing on his activities to calculate the profit and loss of the cafe, Alifa did not realize Akmal's gaze was never separated from him.
Two hours Alifa spent making a report, did not feel his eyes were not strong to withstand drowsiness.Some times he yawned, amid the dizziness due to being faced with making a report and calculating the profit and loss of the cafe.
Akmal who was watching Alifa, could not bear to see Alifa who had felt drowsiness.Rise from his seat to approach Alifa.
"If you're hugging again, shut the mouth".Akmal said, accidentally his hand covered the mouth of Alifa who was yawning.
"OKs".Answer Alifa briefly, not strong with his drowsiness.
Alifa's body collapsed to the side as a result of not being able to withstand her sleepiness.Akmal swiftly restrained Alifa's body so as not to fall to the floor.Holding her to his personal resting place.
