"Lucia likes you, she loves you. What response?" abidzar asked his son to make Azriel laugh.
"Dad, what did this dad say? I've considered Lucia like my own sister just as much as I consider Aisyah, where maybe I put my feelings of love on her."
"But that's how Lucia feels about you and wants you to repay her." Azriel was silent to the words of her father. Azriel, who was still thinking that her father was joking, stopped her laughter and stared in disbelief at what her father had said.
"Dad, you already know that I like Mentari and will immediately express my feelings to her. I just have to wait for the right time when I say it. So, I don't feel at all for Lucia any more than a sister's feelings for her sister."
"Dad knows exactly what you're saying. So, father's advice before he goes home talk to him from heart to heart. Explain to him if you have no feelings for him at all, make him not expect much from you," explains Abidzar who does not want everything to be too late, until it is too late, maybe if it stopped him before Lucia kept feeling for her son even more, all the bad things that could have happened could still be prevented.
"Alright, Dad. I'll talk to Lucia, I'd better talk about it now than she keeps hoping because it won't be possible."
Abidzar also nodded, it seemed that was the best way for them, his relationship with Farah and his new family had been very good, he did not want because of the problem that their relationship was back strained.
"Rest, you're home tomorrow afternoon, right?" abidzar asked Azriel to help his son lie down and to correct his sleeping position.
"Tomorrow we'll talk again, I'm also very tired and want to rest." Abidzar headed to the extra bed and began to rest, his work in the office was quite a lot, plus the thoughts about the debate Khanza and Farah had made at this time he really wanted to rest.
Meanwhile, in the residence of Mentari, a cake that spends a lot of capital now has an owner, only to find one more person to buy the cake.
Until late at midnight Mentari was just finished with the business of making cakes.
"So, sleep. The rest let the mother settle, tomorrow you have to go to college early, I don't want if until your lecture is interrupted just because it helps mom in the kitchen, this is your job and your job is to learn to get a better job. So that the mother can rest in the mother's old age," said Rusmi deliberately said that so that the daughter was not stubborn and chose to rest.
"Yes already, Mom. Mother also yes, can be cleared tomorrow in part. Mentari rest first," said Mentari who had been yawning since.
Mentari realized, tomorrow he will go to college and will also deliver their cakes ordered online, he should not be tired. While the business with his college is finished, he must finish everything in this year in order to graduate from college and find a job as the main income in their family.
Mentari realized, with the cakes and their capital, they could not expect much. Maybe by working and raising capital little by little they can build a bigger cake shop, having their own cake shop is the dream of Mentari and he will build his dream someday.
After entering the room, Mentari first clean up what he has to bring tomorrow to campus, so that when he wakes up tomorrow there is no miss again. Although the business of making a living is very important, making money for their daily lives and also their lectures. However, he must not forget his duties as a student, he must graduate and make his mother proud.
Mentari rubbed the books he had tidied in the bag.
"I'll graduate soon, my dreams will be realized" murmured Mentari. He went to sleep, the word became an encouragement in the midst of his fatigue.
Rusmi saw two boxes of cakes that are different from other boxes, every day they will make 10 boxes of cakes to be entrusted to 10 different stalls, if there is an order via online they will add it and currently they get an order of 12 boxes via online.m
Tonight they made 10 boxes of cakes as they usually make and 2 boxes of new recipe cakes that cost many times more than usual and the remaining 10 boxes they will make ahead at dawn, they also need to rest.
Such was their daily routine, Rusmi just sighed, there was guilt in her heart for having burdened her daughter to work. At first he did not want to burden his daughter by making more cakes and just leave them to the stalls as usual. However, he realized all of that would not be enough. Given that his daughter is currently in college and is indeed getting older, his needs will certainly be more.
Although all this time Mentari did not ask. Rusmi believes Mentari also needs his personal equipment, so from the sale Rusmi always sets aside profit from online sales given specifically to Mentari, so that from the sale, with that money he could buy anything Mentari wanted without prior permission with him.
After making sure everything was in order, Rusmi also headed to her room. He is no longer young, he also has to take care of his own body, if he is sick it will only be more troublesome for his daughter and he does not want it to happen, he said, she was the only one holding her daughter and she didn't want anything to happen to her. Until his daughter has someone who can hold his hand in her place.
Early in the morning after making another 10 boxes of cookies, Mentari was preparing to go to campus, he brought two boxes of new recipe cakes, and he brought two boxes of cookies, one will be downstairs to the hospital for Azriel and the other will be taken to campus, he will not sell it, he will make it a sample and give it to his friends, he said, let's just say he's promoting his new recipe, it's okay he lost a box. If they don't taste it, how do they know if it tastes good. Maybe if after tasting it he will get another ordernyq.
Another 10 boxes of orders will be delivered after college.
Mentari slightly ran towards Azriel's room as she was already late to the campus.
As soon as he entered, Azriel was still sleeping. He only saw that Abidzar was sitting on the couch flipping open the file in front of him, maybe it was his office work.
"Good morning, Om," said Mentari, making Abidzar busy on the file in front of him.
"Azriel is still asleep, Om woke up for a while," Abidzar said. However, Mentari immediately stopped him.
"No, Om. This last night Azriel ordered a cake, I deliberately drove her early in the morning because she had to go to campus, there was important business on campus and had to leave right now. This I give to Om only yes, the price is 250,000," said Mentari made Abidzar immediately reached his agreement and paid 300,000.
Mentari took the money and kept it in a bag and then he took 50,000 as change.
"Never mind, just think of it as pocket money from om," said Abidzar made Mentari who knew that Abidzar a CEO, like Azriel's father 50,000 money might be meaningless. However, the money was so valuable to him, he could be used as additional capital.
"Yes already, Om. Thank you very much, yes I have left first, send greetings to Azriel. I couldn't go on for long" Mentari replied, making Abidzar nod and the boy ran outside.
Just like the first time he came, he also ran small to the parking lot. Taking his blind motorbike and immediately pulling gas to campus, he did not want to be late, he did not want to make the slightest mistake that could make him fail to attend the graduation event this year.
Abidzar could see the cake and put it on the nightstand, he only tasted one. He nodded and admitted it was good and then he sat back down and studied his files, he would go to the office after Azriel woke up and there was Khanza who replaced him.
Shortly after, Farah, Khanza and Lucia came to make Abidzar who had been waiting for him to stand up and tidy up the files, put them in a bag and prepare to go to the office.
"I went straight to the office, yes, I was too late" Abidzar said, making Khanza nod, a kiss landing perfectly acceptable Khanza. Before Abidzar passed out of the room.
"What time is this child sleeping, why at this hour he has not yet woken up" Khanza said, seeing Azriel still asleep, he put the food on the sofa table, she deliberately brought breakfast for Azriel and also her husband. However, it seems Abidzar was too rushed and did not have time to eat the breakfast he was downstairs.
"In the meantime, I forgot to give this breakfast to Abidzar mas, I chased him first" said Khanza who only realized if he forgot to give the box to his husband. He immediately took the box and chased Abidzar who was not too far away, leaving Azriel's room of care.
Farah also began to prepare breakfast for Azriel which they under so that when the boy woke up he could immediately give his breakfast.
"Lucia, wake Azriel. He had to eat breakfast and take medicine," said Farah making Lucia walk straight to Azriel, with just one touch shaking her arm Azriel immediately woke up, she was quite surprised to see Lucia wake him up, his conversation last night with his father made him feel awkward together with Lucia.
"Wake up, what time it is, Mommy has prepared breakfast for you" Lucia said, making Azriel nod and look at Farah who was walking towards her.
"Would you like to go to the bathroom or have breakfast? You have to take medicine."
"No, I'm going to have breakfast, I just got up and went to the bathroom to help Dad and went back to sleep so I just woke up at this hour," clearly Azriel made Farah nod and began to feed Azriel.
Lucia's eyes were fixed on the cake box on the nightstand beside Azriel's bed, she opened it and saw the cake so beautiful.
Without asking Lucia who has directly take and taste it.
"It tastes so good, it's better than Mommy had it yesterday. Where did you buy it?" his question was staring at Azriel. Azriel was also quite surprised when she saw the box, she remembered Mentari last night had ordered the cake to Mentari. Is that the cake Mentari brought?
Azriel saw the box of the cake and in the box there was a mobile number Mentari, making him sure if it really belonged to Mentari.
"What does it really taste good? I haven't tried it yet" asked Azriel.
"Yes, it tastes so good." Lucia finished off a piece of the cake.
"It was a cake made by Mentari," said Azriel made Lucia who had spent one piece of cake and again wanted to take it by surprise. He again kept the cake when he heard that the cake was made by Mentari.
"No, it feels normal" he said, taking a tissue and cleaning his hand, where he immediately took it by hand because he was impatient to take the next piece.
Hearing that Azriel just hid a smile.
'Look, you said it tasted good, but after knowing that Mentari made it you immediately said it tasted bad, you little Lucia. You really want to insult the cake made by Mentari, your nature that does not respect others seems to be the same since childhood. Your vices never change, Azriel.
