The Beloved Lady of the Emperor

12- Disguised

After reviewing the hotel owned by his papa company, Mr. Kusuma invited Kai to have coffee together at the hotel restaurant.

"What happened to you, Kai? daritadi papa watch your face look upset." Mr. Kusuma said as he sipped a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Mama introduced a girl to me."

"Then do you like it?"

"I'm not interested in women" chirped Kai who made Mr. Kusuma choked.

"Kai, you seriously don't like women?" said Mr. Kusuma slowly, repeating Kai's words.

"It's not like that I mean, reward."

"Oh thank goodness! papa almost had a heart attack!" said Mr. Kusuma while rubbing his chest.

"For the time being I'm not interested in connecting with a girl. And I'm not interested in the girl of mama's choice."

"Then how is your type? who knows, you can find him for you."

"No need! papa and mama don't have to interfere in my personal affairs. Let me choose my own companion."

"Papa's just worried you're wrong!"

"Then papa and mama have not been worried, letting me go through my childhood alone? when I grow up, you guys are vying to rule my life."

The deg! Kai's words, really pierced the heart of Mr. Kusuma. He feels guilty for often ignoring Kai who is still a child in order to pursue a career. Mr. Kusuma realized how unstable he and Ms. Mirna were when he decided to marry young.

"alright. Papa won't set you up. You are an adult, whatever your decision, you will always pray for the best." Said Mr. Kusuma.

In the evening Kai was busy making the right disguise for himself. He had asked Hans to prepare a wig, thick glasses and braces. Hans and Kai are in Kai's room. He was busy helping Kai to prepare his disguise.

''Boss, why bother doing all this? if the boss likes it, approach it directly.'' Hans said while helping Kai, wearing a wig.

''You said he didn't like handsome men. That's why I'm ugly. If I disguise myself like this, does he still want to be friends with me.''

''If the boss goes undercover like this. How's the office?''

''Just calm down, my cousin will be back. He'll help me while I'm there. But don't tell me about this plan.''

''Why the boss?''

''I told you not to say yes don't say!" kai said with a snarl.

''I-iya boss, sorry." Finally the disguise is over. Hair bowl, thick sunglasses and braces.

''Wow, perfect! this isn't your boss! I'm sure Ara won't recognize the boss. When do we start this drama?''

''When is Ara racing again?''

''Tomorrow boss.''

''Alright, I will help him and disguise myself like this. Just wait for tomorrow night how.''

''This boss is really weird. While everyone was struggling to glow up, he was dark up. Well, it's hard to guess the boss's mind." Hans's mind while scratching his head in frustration.

Ara was busy in the kitchen, concocting a new drink menu. He was so passionate about doing his online trading.

''What's busy, Ra?''

''Ah grandma. Ara was busy making her current drink. Modern coffee, grandma.''

''How is the current coffee? isn't that coffee black?''

''Be, grandma. It's got the milk and creamer. Ara look around on the internet the recipes. And the plan for the promo, Ara wants to give you free brownies, grandma. Grandma, if Ara's business is smooth, grandma doesn't need to sell anymore. Just accompany grandfather and Ara.''

''Granny just be Ara's employee yes, '' said Ara with a big smile.

''How much can you pay your grandmother?'' fashion grandma.

''All Ara's earnings for grandma.'' Ara then stopped her activities and hugged her grandmother.

''Without you asking, grandma will help you, son.''

''Thank you, grandma. Ara very dear to grandma.''

''Apaalagai grandma, very dear to you.''

''Rudy, you are so outrageous. Don't you remember your daughter here Grandma muttered inwardly while holding back her cries.

Early in the morning, Ara was awake. He was busy making brownies because there were already 50 orders of coffee entering. Ara passionately made it.

''Ara, are you awake?'' greet the grandfather who just woke up.

''Ah grandpa. Yes, Ara got a coffee order of 50 cups.''

''But why is it so early in the morning? is the message at dawn?''

''Hehehe no, Cake! For the first sale, Ara made a promotion. Every one cup of coffee, Ara gave him free mini brownies.''

''Grandpa doesn't understand, Ra. What promotion is it. But grandpa prayed for a sweet sell. Grandpa wants dawn prayers first.''

''Amen. Thanks yeah, cake.'' Grandfather could only smile when he saw his grandson. Trying hard in front of his grandson, although his heart was very sore to see the life of his grandson who was far from happy.

Finished making the order, Ara eagerly escorted him. Starting from the owner of a florist, office agency, bank and finally to a boutique.

''Excuse me!" greet Ara. The boutique was crowded, many wreaths of congratulations in front of the boutique courtyard. A girl of the same age as Ara welcomed Ara.

''Fuck!" exclaim Dinda.

''Dinda!"

''Ma'am, please bring in all his orders.'' Dinda said to her employees. Ara and Dinda then hugged each other tightly. Dinda then took Ara to her room.

''This is elo's boutique, Din.''

''Yes, Ra. This is my boutique. And this drink has elo?''

''Yes.''

''Well, it's great that you can make a cafe.''

''It's not a cafe, Din. I sell online. Where there is capital, Din. Great elo can open a boutique.''

''Hehehe yes. Grandpa sama grandma until this second also do not know.''

''Lo base, Ra.'' The two old friends ended up joking and chatting. Dinda has been Ara's best friend since Junior High. Their relationship is very close, even Dinda's parents love Ara very much. Because of Dinda's own parents, knowing how unlucky Ara's fate was. In fact, many times, Dinda's parents force Ara to stay at their house. But Ara was never willing to take advantage of their kindness or trouble them.
