Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 12 ~ Special Guest ~

Reana sat down at the restaurant table, her gaze intermittently circling the entire room. Her heart was worried, ever since Rebecca's video post went viral. Reana's heart is not calm, fear that the post will affect the number of visitors.

Whether the feeling alone, or because all this time not too much attention, Reana felt the number of restaurant visitors day after day reduced.

"Sister Re... " Nella patted Reana on the shoulder.

"However, wait for a meal" continued Nella while pointing to the restaurant employees who were preparing for lunch.

Reana got up from her chair walking towards the big table where all the employees gathered.

Family feeling among employees feels very high in this restaurant, all thanks to the leadership of Mr. Gunawan. He did not distinguish low or high level employees, all treated equally.

So does Reana who is only a part-time worker.

"Reana, I know you're a quiet girl, but lately I've seen you daydream a lot, what's up Reana?" ask Mr. Gunawan.

Reana was silent, the girl was confused what to say, it was impossible to tell her worries in front of all the employees. Reana could only be bowed when all the employees looked towards her.

Bu Shinta thrusts the cuisine towards Reana to dispel the girl's awkward feeling.

"Eat more, your face looks pale, do not get sick" said Ms. Shinta.

"You can think of restaurants, but don't interfere with your health.

All there are ups and downs, if by chance now visitors feel reduced not necessarily the cause of the video post" continued Gunawan advising.

The restaurant manager who was very wise understood Reana's concerns, even though when asked Reana did not answer anything.

All the employees nodded in agreement, most of whom probably already knew about the circulating videos of Reana and Rebecca fighting.

"More importantly now, we have to work harder, to show that our restaurant is not as alleged" Gunawan said.

"Spirit !!! " nella shouted while clenching her fists. Everyone looked at him. Nella was embarrassed.

"Spirit !!! " said Mr. Gunawan imitate the behavior of Nella.

"Yeeey" shouted Nella cheerfully, Mr. Gunawan welcomed her cheering.

All laughing, Reana smiled, Nella is indeed a carefree child, her age is only a few months younger than Reana, her cute behavior is able to bring joy in this restaurant.

"Kak Reana is very lucky, there is another handsome guy PDKT with him, who at that time came to celebrate his birthday, if shadowed it feels like Nella wants to go to college as well" said Nella suddenly confided.

Reana was confused, smiling slanted at Nella, wondering why she suddenly talked about herself.

"Why don't you go to college" asked one of the employees.

"Pengen mengerasain as in the Korean drama, the title of his Shining Inheritance, the story about the poor girl waitress meat soup restaurant who fell in love with the grandson of the restaurant owner" the story is so excited.

The employees nodded with smiles.

"If so you should fall in love with Kevin dong" said the kitchen employee.

Mentioned the name of the granddaughter of the restaurant owner who was only eleven years old.

All laughing, Nella muttered to herself. The atmosphere of lunch was so cheerful, for a moment Reana forgot her anxiety. All employees support each other, Reana should be relieved.

Gunawan nodded at Shinta's mother, asking Shinta to make an announcement to all employees that tomorrow a young executive is booking a restaurant.

For that all employees are asked to prepare everything more mature. The whole employee understood.

"Spirit !!! " call Nella.

"Spirit !!! " cried all the employees, then all laughed in unison.

The next day all the restaurant employees were getting ready with their respective duties. Including Reana who just finished changing her clothes with a uniform. When appearing in the pantry, Reana immediately pulled Nella.

Reana obediently follows Nella's wishes.

"This is a spit" said Nella hurriedly.

"Her men have come, very handsome. Kirain was old, she knew she was young and rich" Nella explained.

"Where are you?" ask Reana briefly.

"Iiissh..tuh see, he used a bodyguard, his bodyguard was handsome let alone his master" said Nella burning spirit, his eyes narrowed.

Reana was watching the guests.

"Trus why haven't you been served?" ask Reana wonder.

"So he's been questioned but he doesn't want a message yet" Nella replied.

Reana gave a glance around the restaurant.

"Why is it still quiet ? instead of booking this restaurant for an event" asked Reana astonished.

"No, it turns out that the master is booking this restaurant just for himself" replied Nella impassioned.

"Ha. if only for himself why should all booking" asked Reana again.

"I don't know, the behavior of the rich is strange" replied Nella.

Reana just sighed. In the current situation, Reana hopes that many visitors will come, not just a rich man and his bodyguard.

"Okay Ma'am" Reana answered briefly, then rushed towards this important guest.

"Good afternoon sir, did you already want to order something" Reana asked politely.

The young master looked at Reana closely, then he smiled.

"The most special menu in this restaurant is for two people" said the young master.

"Okay sir, there's more I can help you with" Reana asked as she noted in her order book.

Then look at the guards.

"Please send a servant to serve them" continued the young master.

"Okay sir" said Reana as she returned to the pantry.

"Where? have you started ordering?" ask Ms. Shinta.

"Udah Bu, the most special menu in this restaurant for two people, then the master asked to be sent by the waiter for his guards" replied Reana.

"OK. alright" said Shinta, telling the other servants to ask the young master's bodyguards for orders.

"Where have you started ordering?" asked Nella curiously.

"Mm, special menu for two" Reana replied.

"Just for two?" ask Nella astonished.

Reana just shrugged her shoulders.

"Aaah.don't-don't for a proposal, surely the young master wants to propose someone so it needs privacy" replied Nella eagerly.

"Nonsense" Reana answered briefly.

"It was a rich man, wanted to propose until booking a restaurant" Nella said her face was like imagining something beautiful.

The special meal was ready, Reana brought it with the restaurant push table to the guest table. This time he was accompanied by Gunawan. Mr. Gunawan felt he had to step in to serve this special guest.

Reana put all the dishes carefully. Everything was neatly arranged, Reana stood beside the special guest preparing to serve if the special guest needed something.

"Please sit down" said the young master, allowing Reana to sit in front of him.

Reana was surprised, Gunawan was also shocked. But quickly Gunawan responded.

"Please Reana, Mr Malvin would like company, is there anything else we can help you with?" ask Mr. Gunawan to the young master named Malvin.

"Enough" replied Mr. Malvin briefly.

Reana was still standing, Gunawan patted the girl on the shoulder while nodding. Reana only saw Mr. Gunawan, the girl seemed to have not realized.

Mr. Gunawan saw Reana who was still dumbstruck helping to pull a chair for him.

"Please Reana" said Mr. Gunawan trying to resuscitate Reana.

Slowly, still with a confused face, the girl sat in the chair prepared by Mr. Gunawan, not to forget Mr. Gunawan put a napkin on Reana's lap.

Reana felt bad, but Mr. Gunawan just nodded with a smile to support Reana.

Not to forget Mr. Gunawan nodded respectfully to Mr. Malvin then passed while carrying the push table backward.

Mr. Malvin invited Reana to eat his meal.

"Sorry sir, if I may ask, what is the meaning of all this ?" reana asked, still not touching the food.

Mr. Malvin stopped eating and looked at Reana with a smile.

"I want to have lunch with you" said Mr. Malvin calmly.

Reana was still silent, looking at Mr. Malvin waiting for his next explanation. But Mr. Malvin just looked at Reana with chin support. Reana was misbehaved, as usual the girl immediately lowered her head.

Mr. Malvin smiled looking at Reana who looked awkward. The man enjoyed Reana's timid expression.

"Actually I don't usually eat in a restaurant of this level" said Mr. Malvin again eating the dish in front of him.

Reana silently listened.

"But because I wanted to know a girl who dared to defy guests in order to defend the restaurant where she worked, I became curious to come to this restaurant" replied Mr. Malvin calmly.

Reana began to understand the direction of the young master's conversation.

"There was nothing special about it, I just did what I thought was right" Reana replied.

Mr. Malvin smiled, then looked at old Reana. Like observing the girl's face, Reana was wrong to look the other way.

"The originals are much prettier" said Mr. Malvin with a sweet smile.

Mr. Malvin was still looking at Reana, Reana was feeling off guard. Immediately he ate his meal so that his task of accompanying this young master was soon completed.
