“Walah Yu, your hair why?” Ningsih threw a look of amazement as Ayu entered the room. Ayu smiled awkwardly holding the end of her hair that was now cut to shoulder and colored in higlight. Ayu's new appearance makes her look very different from previous days, as if Ayu is a Jakarta slang child whose hobby is in and out of the salon every week. Ningsih got up from the bed holding Ayu's hair. “Who are you? Beautiful bang”
“Ih mbak, shame me.” Ayu brushed off Ningsih's hand slowly.
“Certainly the work Bu Eva?”
“Iya. He said let cafe customers stop by there, because the employees are cute. I could refuse, mbak, forced to come. My hair is weird huh?”
Ningsih. “Good Yu, beautiful, kayak Sandra Dewi”
“Ah can only Mbak Ningsih”
“I'm not surprised anyway Yu, if suddenly you were adopted so a child” kekeh Ningsih amused back rebahan hugging bolsters. Ayu put her shopping bags on the floor, some of the bags were handed over to Ningsih who was welcoming. This day Ayu accompanied Eva, ranging from shopping, spa, to the salon all they did in a day.
“By the way Yu, lately Mbok Raya asked me to do her job. Like bookkeeping money shopping, set this it” Ningsih story while opening a shopping bag for him.
“Pertanda mbak, power will move”
“You if you talk about gini in front of Dini wah can run out both of us. Early now if I squirm my lips forward five inches, until sometimes do not want to see me”
“Emang is the one. Don't be afraid mbak, Mbak Ningsih is a champion fightem”
“I was not afraid of him Yu, but I was afraid to pull his lips forward again.”
Ayu laughed loudly, her face turned away as her phone rang, there was an incoming call from Heru. “Iya Mas how?”
[Lu where?]
“Home”
[Please take water dong Yu, thirsty]
“Iya mas bentar.” Ayu hangs up the phone while grumbling slowly, she tidies up her belongings and washes her accomplices.
“Mas Heru yes?”
“Iya”
“Mas Heru said what?
“Ask takenin air”
“You want me to Yu? I think Mas Heru forgot you are not an assistant in this house”
“No papa mbak me. Mas Heru mah that, as long as I still live here he is free to tell what aj” replied Ayu.
Ayu went out of the room to the kitchen, he took a tray putting a glass of water complete with a teapot. The dining room light has been turned off and only a clockwork sound has been heard that shows at half-ten p.m. Ayu knocked on Heru's room door slowly.
“Mas....Mas Heru”
“Masuk” command Heru open door. Ayu nodded obediently then put the tray on the table. “Lu just got home?”
“Iya. I just nyampe, have not had time to breathe 'hunting on the phone Mas Heru”
“Mulu Yu protest....Here, you don't miss what didn't see me three days? I just returned from Bali tau.” Without waiting for Ayu Heru's answer immediately pulled Ayu and hugged the girl tightly.
“This is why you called me here? Pretend to want to drink, you know that I took tap water just yesterday” dumel Ayu joking. “Udah ah, I haven't bathed”
“Do not spoil the atmosphere of Yu, I again miss the same lu.”
Ayu looked up and sneered softly. “What the hell Mas Heru! Just three days without meeting, his style is like years apart”
“Elu that's okay. Your hair noh noh nape? rust?” sedu Heru held back a laugh.
Ayu immediately nodded. “Norak Mas Heru! Said Bu Eva is a highlight model, Mbak Ningsih just love it. Don't hug, I want to go back to my room. That's his drink was drained.”
Heru grinned to release his embrace, he took something from the table and handed it to Ayu. “Nih.” For a moment Ayu stared puzzledly, she received the box and opened it slowly. Ayu's eyes were round in disbelief when she saw a white necklace with a hanger in the shape of a small brown piece in it, beautiful. “Gift because you have successfully passed the exam”
“Mas...”.
“You don't want to waste Yu.”
Ayu looked up with a haru expression, she touched the necklace and her crying slowly came out. Heru became confused and approached the girl. “Yu, do I give you a gift, why do you cry?”
“Mas Heru..” Ayu hugged Heru tightly. This was the first gift he got from someone other than Asih and Adit. Happiness at once should burst in filled Ayu's heart. For Heru maybe it was just an ordinary necklace but still Ayu wanted to cry as hard as possible.
“Don't cry Yu, ntar thought we were fighting”
“Still Yes Mas. Mas Heru was very good with me..saya-” Ayu could not finish his words and continued to hiccup in Heru's embrace.
Heru smilingly patted Ayu's back slowly. “Iya Yu, I also wonder why I can be so good with you, do I get a winnow?”

“Where are you?”
“Enak Yu's. Well, because of you I failed diet” replied Laras when trying strawberry cake made by Ayu. “Two years is enough for you to be proficient. Is this called talent Yu?”
“As for Brother Laras, but this is his honest riview right?”
“Honest, from the deepest heart of Yu.”
Laras finished the last piece of cake then leaned back on the chair, he sighed with a glance at the pile of paper he was carrying from the office. “I'm tired Yu, work tired, not work need money. Every day in front of the computer, home at night, I want to go home when the sun is still shining bright” complained Laras suddenly.
“Do I resign and register to the cafe Aunt Eva?”
“You want me to ask his lowly brother?”
Laras shook his head with a small smile. “Ngak so deh Yu, ngebayangin have to interact with different people every day is also not as good. Life choices are nothing good, right?”
”Iya kak agrees, but how do you want again ya?”
“I want deh Yu, sit on them but suddenly rich”
“I also want. Did we just pick it up? Or selling raven satay to genderuwo? There is a tutorial in the story of Jawa” land proposed Ayu, Laras laughs ngakak.
Ting. The bell above the cafe door rang, both of them turned away, and Dano appeared waving at them.
“Halo Dik Ayu, how are you?” greet Dano friendly. Ayu grinned, he last met Dano a year ago and after that Ayu knew Dano was often outside Jakarta to take care of his business. Ayu saw Dano's instagram story was in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, or last week in Bali. But Dano is not always alone, sometimes he is seen with Heru bouncy around Indonesia. “Majikanan aja nih Dik Ayu, diligent nail polish yes?”
Ayu laughs. “Still not changing Mas Dano jokes. Mas how are you? Must be from outside Jakarta huh?”
“As Dik Ayu saw, more handsome right gu? I'm from Bali Yu, actually still a week there just my beautiful girlfriend is forced me back, he said kangen, so I'm behind Jakarta”
“Forced return? Idih, right you are every malem upset want to go home, he said quiet no I” correction Laras. Dano grinnedly leaned on the girl's shoulder for a moment.
“Heru was back home yesterday?”
“Iya mas, last night just returned”
“Asik dong Yu, can be released kangen. No hug?” seductive Dano, Ayu's cheeks immediately blushed red making Dano laugh loudly.
“Kak, his girlfriend please expelled, disturbing the comfort” joked Ayu pretended to whisper, he stood up to Artha when the girl gave the code to approach him, there seemed to be a male visitor talking to Artha.
“Why brother?”
“Yu, know this Joji” tell Artha without further ado.
Joji smiled kindly introducing himself as a bittersweet staff, a youtube account that shares the content of the streets with a number of subscribers of more than three million accounts. Briefly Joji explained the purpose and purpose of stopping at Rosaria cafe is to invite cooperation with bittersweet.
“The concept from us is simple mbak, mbak just need to work as usual but we will record”
“Kayak daily vlog yes?” ask Artha to make sure.
“Betul mbak, but we do not ask for a fee and this can be a promotion also for cafe.”
Ayu and Artha were both interested in Joji's offer. “We want mas anyway, but we are just ordinary staff here, the owner again left, maybe it would be better if talking to our boss” replied Ayu sage.
“Kalo so I can ask for the owner number of this cafe?”
Ayu and Artha looked at it again. “Lu has the number Bu Eva?” ask Artha. Ayu shook her head innocently. “Lah Yu, you meet him every day”
“It is precisely because every day he met his brother, so I did not ask for his number”
“Try me to ask Ivanka deh. Yes, I asked my manager first.”
Artha sent a message to Ivanka, but for ten minutes there was no reply from the woman. “Mas, unrequited, how are ya?”
“Hmm....Tomorrow is there a guy?”
“Kalo Kak Ivanka there is a mas, but Bu Eva is not sure, just Kak Ivanka there is a number Bu Eva”
“Oh yaudah mbak, if so tomorrow I am here again”
“Bby mas” nods Ayu and Artha in unison. Johi smiled after a short chat she bought a few pieces of cake and then left.
“Who Yu?” ask Laras when Ayu returns.
“Youtubers” Ayu replied briefly staring at Joji's departure from behind a clear glass window.
