CHAPTER 13 - Coffee of the Prince

The next day Lucia restarted her routine as usual. He wakes up early and prepares breakfast for Reisa as well as for her. He set an alarm on Reisa's phone at 07.30am with the message ‘Wake up and spend your breakfast’.

Lucia left for work earlier than Reisa. Wearing a t-shirt lined with a long shirt combined with long jeans. White Velcro shoes and plain colored totebag bags with color variants that it has. Lucia used to only tie one hair, rarely breaking hair. That's how simple it looks every day.

“The spirit of Lucia” said he took a deep breath after gluing his shoes together.

Along the way on the Bus he kept thinking about Mickey's offer. If he accepts, he can help his mother more quickly free from the debt bondage left by his stepfather.

Lucia plans to send a message to Reisa to inform and ask Reisa's opinion about Mickey's offer. But he was not sure if Reisa would agree with him to accept the offer.

“Forget it, I also cannot leave Cafe” said Lucia in a heart full of turmoil. He also undoes his intention to send a message to Reisa after stringing long words. Lucia deleted the message she had not sent and put her phone back in the bag.

Lusia started to open a Flower Shop where she worked. He brought out one by one a flower basket and suckled it for display in front of the store.

Before long, the sound of Kelvin's car horn shocked him. He smiled greeting Kelvin who got out of the car by waving his hand. Kelvin put two cups of coffee that he brought on the table which is located right in front of the store. Without permission Kelvin immediately took the flower basket from Lucia's hand to help her carry it out and arrange it. Lucia is not surprised anymore with Kelvin's good attitude, because even though it is forbidden Kelvin will also continue to do so.

“Sit down, I can do it” said Lucia because she saw Kelvin look after overtime with his disheveled face like not sleeping all night.

"It's okay, I can help you faster, so that the rest of your time can accompany me to drink coffee briefly” said Kelvin tidied how many flowers.

“No need to shorten the time, I can still accompany you to drink coffee, because ordinary mornings are still quiet” said Lucia by tidying up some other flowers in the basket.

“If I were your boss in this shop, I would have judged you to have eaten a blind salary by relaxing.

"Are you overtime again last night?” tanya Lucia sat right opposite Kelvin.

"As you can see, this shabby look of mine can't fool you if I say no” Kelvin replied by pushing a coffee cup into Lusia's hand.

Kelvin is an architect. His father owned Property and Real Estate. Kelvin graduated from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB). The university has one of the best architecture departments in the world. He owns his own company, although it is still under his father's company.

His love of coffee encouraged him to run the Cafe business. The place where Lusia works, which means Kelvin is the owner of ‘Friend’s Cafe’ and also Momo. Friends Cafe is always crowded with endings. Not Rarely Lusia to have to help become a barista if the Cafe is crowded.

Cafe will always be full of female visitors if official account Instagram Friend’s Cafe already shared the story ‘Sang Prince is here’ . Of course the prince in question is Kelvin. This started when Dave uploaded a short video, which was when Kelvin became a barista in his spare time. Beautiful face and slick posture become the main attraction of Kelvin.

Since then the cafe was told by the girls every knowing Kelvin was at the Cafe. Not only that, Instagram Kelvin was targeted so it has a lot of followers who are crazy to be able to update his upload. Coupled with other employees who also have attractive appearances including the faces of Dave and Lucia make Friends Cafe famous as Surga Berhalu Ria.

“True, as soon as you said you would take care of Momo yesterday, while you can't take care of yourself now” said Lusia sighing harshly at Kelvin's answer and then brewing her coffee.

Hearing Lusia mention Momo reminds Kelvin of the incident that night, when he picked up Lucia from Villa Rayn. Kelvin was actually still upset because Lucia did not listen to his words and still went alone to take Momo from the Villa.

“Men like you have to look good in the morning, so that your fans grow. What's more if you want to sit here at least for the next 2 hours, I'm sure there will be a lot of women waiting in line for you instead of buying flowers.

“Then will you also come in line ?” kelvin's question surprised Lucia. Lucia coughed at Kelvin's words.

“Stop tickling my throat in the morning” Lucia chirps.

Although Kelvin is the owner of the cafe where Lucia works, they have long known each other and are close. Even the closeness of the two before Lusia worked at the Cafe. Kelvin is David's best friend, of course Lucia's early encounter with Kelvin was because of David.

“Do you still not want to tell me about what happened that night ?” ask Kelvin.

“Now it's all done and I'm fine, isn't that enough” replied Lucia smiling and again brewing her coffee.

“You're sure he didn't do anything to you ?” ask Kelvin back.

“I'm sorry if it made you worry back then. But don't you know me, if anything happened I would have beaten him up and wouldn't let go of” Lucia replied by clenching her hands as if she were going to do a death fist. He tried to convince Kelvin even though he was very scared that night.

“Only...” said Lucia delayed her words.

“Only ?” kelvin asked raising his eyebrows waiting for Lucia to continue her words.

“Nothing, forget” said Lucia breathed a rough breath and turned her eyes to look towards the streets.

“Haha I have nothing to hide from you and anyway why should I hide it” Lucia replied laughing breaking Kelvin's seriousness.

“Then ?” ask Kelvin.

“The theme offers me work” replied Lusia.

“Work ?" ask Kelvin.

“I still consider it” replied Lucia sipped her coffee until it ran out and stood up.

“Do you accept it and will stop from Cafe ?" kelvin asked to stand up.

“Of course not, don't worry I will stay loyal Boss” said Lucia saluted Kelvin who stood in front of him with a smile.

"You've just met, it's very suspicious if you suddenly make an offer" Kelvin said. He was eager to ask Lucia to discuss it first with him. But he was afraid that Lucia would feel uncomfortable because it was not his right to ask like that.

“Already, go home rest. You already look like a flower there” said Lucia pointed to one of the flowers that had begun to wither.

“You rule me ? and what flowers ? you insulted me?” tanya Kelvin pointed at herself and the flower that Lucia meant.

“Hahaha” Laughter.

“Although the flower began to wither but still he was a dazzling flower just need a little touch of air” continued Lusia meredek Kelvin to return home and clean up.

“Sorry I came here to bring you kopi” decak Kelvin.

“Don't worry, despite your condition like this, but you're still handsome and handsome. I'm sure your fans out there will be screaming hysterically with the other side of her idol. Aaa... oppa seems like I'm willing to be a bed sheet so that I can continue to see you every time you wake up saying hello in the morning" ledek Lusia with fangirl style memeperagakan so as to make Kelvin goosebumps.

"Do I need to take a picture of you right now and post it on Instagram Friend’s Cafe ? then greet with Caption ~Good Morning~ .” Lucia keeps teasing Kelvin.

“Forward” said Kelvin annoyed at Lusia's behavior.

“Continue your work, my fault is annoying, I go” added Kelvin left the flower shop.

“Don't worry I'll always be your number one fan” shouted Lucia.

Hearing Lucia's cry, Kelvin stopped his footsteps, looking at her giving a thumbs up at him with a smile.

“Remember, if you're the softest to the Cafe today I'll cut your salary” threatened Kelvin to retrace his steps towards the car.

Lucia just laughed at Kelvin's threat. That's how they are when they are out of business hours at the cafe. Who would have thought if Kelvin was the boss. If Kelvin fans see, they will surely accuse Lusia of being a brash employee.

“Stop pinching me with your smileit” grumbled Kelvin in the car looking at Lucia who was smiling at him with a wave of her hand. Kelvin smiled and drove his car away from the flower shop.
