Chapter 5

Another twenty minutes of H.Ay Restaurant grand opening event will begin. Family restaurant with a typical menu of Indonesian food became the choice of Hasna business this time.

Some customers remain his invitation. Also seen some enthusiastic visitors want to attend the inauguration event.

Pak Andi's family was also present. Just waiting for the final preparations. Several times Hasna let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly in order to expel the nervousness that plagued her.

Miss Diana who saw the tension adorning the face of her future daughter-in-law was trying to comfort her.

"Just relax, baby, don't be tense." He said as he rubbed Hasna's right arm.

The girl tried to calm down by letting out her sweet smile.

"It's not the first time you've opened a business, son. Why are you so tight? Look at your palms feeling so cold." Said grandfather while holding the fingers of the grandson.

Many times Hasna let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly. That's all he can do to get rid of nervousness.

The MC started the event exactly according to the scheduled time. Until finally at the core event.

"Bismillah, with full gratitude for my achievements so far. Today, H.Ay Restaurant will officially open. May in the future always obtain the blessing of God, aamiin. Bismilbornrahmanirrahiim." With little reception, Hasna inaugurated the opening of her restaurant by cutting a ribbon in front of the building.

Clapping cheers welcomed the inauguration of Hasna's new restaurant. Congratulations came, given to Hasna. Next is a friendly event for the invitees and visitors.

"Thank God today's event was a success, ma'am." Said Hamzah, Hasna's senior model in the Blessing Kitchen who is now appointed as restaurant manager.

As for the head chef, Hasna appointed Karina, a senior employee at the Blessing Kitchen as well.

"Oh yeah baby, auntie same old om. Because there's a meeting at the office this afternoon." Pamit mam Diana.

"Thank you for coming aunt." Hasna.

The girl escorted her two prospective in-laws to the parking lot. After making sure their car disappeared behind the gate, Hasna went back inside the restaurant.

Shortly after his family's departure, Mr. Andi's mobile phone in Hasna's pocket rang, signaling an incoming call. Call from Kevin.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Kevin's mas." Say hello to Hasna when the call is connected.

"Va'alaikumussalam, Hasna. I'm not bothering you?" Ask Kevin.

"No, what's wrong?"

"I plan to have a small Thanksgiving in the office, just for the staff and employees. I guess if I ordered all of you couldn't?"

"For how many people?"

"About five hundred people."

"Well, when?"

"Make the day after."

"Okay, Kevin just decide the menu."

"Later I also order catering for buffets as well. So for the buffet, the crib rice, and the cookies."

"Okay, I can."

"Well, you'll send the bill to my number."

"Okay, ready." Answer the girl quickly.

A moment of silence, there was no conversation between the two.

"Hello, mas?" Hasna's voice spread the daydream of a man across the street.

"Yes, Hasna?" Answer Kevin

"There again?"

"Emm.it doesn't seem."

"Alright, then I'll hang up."

"Eehh." Kevin said spontaneously, as soon as Hasna frowned.

"I mean, mas?"

"I-I mean, if you don't mind. You can come to my office?" Kevin said full of nervousness.

"Yes." Yeah." The young man replied quickly.

"If it's for this week, it looks like I can't. Not to refuse, but it just so happens that a new restaurant is opening. And during this week, I'll be on standby here." Refuse Hasna subtly.

"Restaurant? You open a restaurant?"

"Yes, thank God for today's grand opening."

"Oh... I wasn't invited, the story?" Temptation Kevin.

"Loh, invited. I sent an invitation via whatsapp to aunt Rosita. He is the one who is not present."

"Ah. yes. mama accompanied papa out of town for one week."

"Mas Kevin, sorry. My phone is closed first. Here again rame. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam"

Kevin stared at the phone screen in his grasp. The call has just ended. The handsome man exhaled a rough breath.

"Why didn't you tell me about Hasna's invitation?" Mumbled.

Immediately he sent a whatsapp message to his mother.

~Mama, any invitations from Hasna? Why didn't you tell Kevin?~ Kevin

~Sorry baby, mom forgot. Mom is too busy with papa's business.~ Rosita

~Live samperin aja~ Rosita

~Can't ma, later in the afternoon Kevin should review the new project out of town.~ Kevin

No more reply from my mother.

Kevin leaned on the back of his chair. The man was a little disappointed not to know anything important about Hasna.

Silence there was a spark in the man's heart. Kevin begins to have an interest in the girl he accidentally met while it was raining heavily in a restaurant. The girl who had shady eyes was able to make Kevin drunk just because he thought about it.

True said the mother, a girl as typed as Hasna does not know the name dating. Therefore it was not bright as it approached Hasna. There is a more natural way to approach the girl, which is to approach her by working together.

Often if there is an event in the office, Kevin deliberately orders everything from Hasna's place of business. Not only because of the delicious taste, but also because of the man's sense of affection for the girl's heart.

Hasna got home when the clock showed ten o'clock at night past fifty minutes. For the next week it looks like he'll be home late at night.

He wanted to intervene alone to see the development of the new restaurant this morning officially he opened. Just like any other business he has. Hasna would make sure of her own early development before she handed the task over to her confidants.

Although the age is still relatively young, but the professionalism of Hasna in the field of business can not be doubted.

He hurriedly entered his room, not wanting to make a sound that could interfere with grandfather's rest.

He wants to rest immediately too, immediately he clean himself for 15 minutes in the bathroom. Only a short time, but able to eliminate the fatigue that all day is spoiled in his body.

After changing clothes and a series of other nights, Hasna positioned herself on the bed.

When going to turn off the main light and replace the sleeping lights, inadvertently the net caught a brown map on the nightstand.

He just remembered the map, even though he had received it a few days ago. The map contains a photo of the man who will be her husband.

Grab the envelope, then open it and take the contents inside. It looks like there are some photos in it.

The photo of a sharp-eyed man, with a sharp nose and thick eyebrows framing a face that is so beautiful. His jaw is so sturdy with overgrown fine fur around it. And that smile. A smile that can make every woman's heart vibrate if she sees it.

But I don't know what Hasna is doing right now. For a moment he noticed one photo at a time in his hand.

Hasna closed her eyes for a moment. He breathed deeply and exhaled slowly.

Hopefully he is the one who was outlined to be the best for me, he said in his heart.

After that he returned the photo to its original position, and began to close his eyes.
