Afternoon at D&R Restaurant,
Rio and Raffa wear black uniforms and on the right chest there is the D&R Restaurant logo. Rio also did not forget the message from aunt Navysah to always tie her hair and always wear perfume with a masculine scent typical of men.
"I always remember your mother Raff's message" Rio said as he tidied his shirt back and tied the shoelaces that had missed his ties.
"Which order?" raffa asked while checking the food stock in the refrigerator
"Gue must always be neat, hair pickled and fragrant" he said, he glanced at Airin and Raffa who interacted moving his hands, they reciprocated with sign language. "Lu can sign language Raff?" he asked as if he could not believe it.
"Lumayan can, I've been here two years. At first like you used to use a writing paper, over time I learned to let the communication smoothly talk to chef Airin. Bang Jay, Om Rayyan and mbak Nety can also sign language"
"It's incredible...!" he applauded "You should work at the cashier or manager's department that is ngatur. Why do you want to be a waiter anyway (boy waiter), your father who has a restaurant, his stock is bigger than Om Rayyan again "he said while cleaning up the leftovers that will be discarded.
" I want to learn from the bottom first, so that I know the pluses and minuses in each section. I've been in the dishwasher, stock, assistant chef who helped me cut groceries, cashier ever, and now I'm on waiter because it reduces the activity, aja, so if I don't go to work, it doesn't matter either, we'll take the exam"
"It is precisely if you are in the waiter section that is very influential" said mbak Nety the assistant chef. He had overheard their conversation. "If you have a rame restaurant, girls come here. Every day there is just your name, where to ask for your home address and mobile number again. They don't know you're the restaurant owner's son" he remembers some of the past when many abege were looking for a handsome waitress named Raffa.
"So they're given their phone number?" rio asked curiously.
"Lha ya ora after all, ngei number yo ready to die aka directly ditok'e Pak Davian,wani - wani'e disturb the crown prince (Yes, no, love number yes ready to die alias immediately removed/fire Mr. Davian. How dare to disturb the crown prince "
Raffa just smelled a smile, he knew his parents were very protective of his children. They do not want their children to be disturbed by strangers, especially now that free association is increasingly rife.
" When something does it mean? "Rio is still curious about Nety's story.
" Yo dikei number si Gani, saw Gani sing mbalesi chat abege - abege kuwi. Gani apen - apen dadi Raffa. Haha... (Yes given the number of Gani, after which he replied to chat abege - abege it. Gani pretends to be Raffa)" he laughs loudly given the incident when Gani was overwhelmed by replies to chat from some Raffa fans.
" YES..!! The electric pole Gani, no doubt wrong, there is a character assassination from a Raffa Ahmad "Rio was wide-eyed in disbelief, a crybaby Gani, who was a whiny, having a low level of sanity and a high sense of humor now pretending to be Raffa.Reparied inversely with the nature of his best friend who is polite, patient and not talkative.
" Silent ae safe tree 'e, Uwis in soko setting Pak Rayyan. Ndelok, saiki restaurant rame anyway, aboute ngerti Raffa original dina iki kerjo. Gani wiz nge chat FBR dina iki(Let's calm anyway safe, already in the setting of Mr. Rayyan. Look, now it's a rame restaurant, you know the real Raffa today work) "
" What is FBR, like an organization? " tanya again
" FBR iku Fans Heavy Raffa. Hahahaha. "he said chuckling. After joking they return to work in their respective parts. Raffa and Rio entertained every guest who came. And it's true what mbak Nety said, Although this weekend most who come abege and they look comfortable - a smile with Raffa. Inevitably Raffa also returned their smiles. Some of them just want Raffa to serve. And as usual Raffa has to work extra to entertain from one table to another.
Some of them did not know Raffa was the son of Davian. Navysah has always been an influencer and hero on social media, rarely posting the faces of her children. He once occasionally posted his son but in the face covered with pictures of smile stickers. Davian did the same thing, it was for the safety of his family.
When Raffa delivered the order at table number twenty-one, the, he glanced at one young girl and one small child who was drawing with his sister.See he was drawing a beach that rolled waves with the sun almost setting.
"It's mom's order of fried rice seafood two, sweet sour squid one, kale one, ice kluwut one, orange juice two" he spelled out one by one his order ."Is there anything else you want to order, ma'am?" tanyakanya.
"I think it's enough. Thank you" he said politely
"Good ma'am, enjoy yourself" Raffa slightly bowed politely. He glanced back at the young girl who was drawing, looking indifferent and staying focused with her activities. "The image is very clever, you are great" said Raffa, but the girl just glanced at herself without saying a word.
"My mountain's good, isn't it?" ask the little brother who immediately responded to Raffa's words.
"It's mom, Halwa is great said this sister, hehehe" And the mother just smiled to see her son laughing.
"Try my sister's value" the young girl directly thrust her picture book.
Raffa looked carefully at every detail he drew. "Stek drawing the beach with a roll of waves and the sun as if it were sinking or sunset means the estimated time of afternoon to evening. The waves that roll here should be a little white because of the foam from the waves that hit" he said, in this section there are some people who are standing and some sitting to enjoy the sunset, he said, there should be a shadow in this section that is slightly tilted. This part of the sky should be darker because of the evening, so the dye is more towards dark blue with a little white cloud because of the evening. If like this the picture looks flat alias not alive. But despite all that, you are great at drawing because not everyone has the ability to do it "Raffa explains every detail that needs to be corrected by the girl. And he looked at Raffa dislike, he could not believe how a servant could judge in detail the image of his work.
" Whose brother?" tanyanya, he still stared intently at her.
"I, I'm a restaurant waiter" Raffa replied with a smile. "And a little bit can draw"
"Oh, you can draw a picture of Nak, Wah is great too" said his mother. I am Aria's mother, this is my first child Hanin second grade Junior High and this is Halwa new sixth grade. They love to draw "
" I'm Raffa ma'am"
"Can you draw a sketch of people?" tannya
"God can be Aria"
"Call Ria ma'am" he said politely. Well, I happen to want to do a family sketch. It's like this" he thrust out a family photo and a business card from inside his bag.
"If you're done, just call here"
"Good ma'am, but it took me about two weeks to draw. I still have a job"
"OK just relax, no need to hunt. Don't forget to be framed" he said.
"Good ma'am, excuse me first"
~Aria~
When choosing the menu, he saw a waiter who stood out among the others. Waiter who always wara-wiri passed in front of him, and he also delivered food with a polite message. When Halwa was praised and laughed, she felt happy. As he assessed Hanin's image in detail, he was quite surprised. How could a waiter be able to judge such a detail. He stared fixedly at the young man who was right in front of him, a healthy body with a little bicep muscle on his arm, a sweet smile without being made - make, an industrious child, a, and behave politely. If judged in terms of face and appearance she is faster to be a model even though there are no branded items attached to her body.
"Physical and attitude more than any other waiter. He was no ordinary child, he was like a hidden diamond" he murmured inwardly.Himself was still curious about the figure in front of him.
"Why do I want to know more about him, he can make my son smile" He immediately opened the bag, I don't know what he could take to be a reason to see him again. He took a picture in his wallet, a family photo. Actually he could have gone to the place of a professional painter to do this, but was undone because his feeling was more dominant.
"Don't forget to call that number if your sketches are done" he said
"Good ma'am, excuse me first" Raffa politely nodded. And he just smiled knot in return.
"The attitude is extraordinary in this day and age which is beginning to erode"
