Arriving at the cafe, Ele immediately followed the morning briefing with the team to share sales targets, as well as reviewing how many monthly target achievements to this day. On the table, the screen he turned on immediately displayed the numbers. Sales trends of the past few months, the red color that is an alarm for the achievement of the team that always gives it support. A stack of reports crammed to the left of the table. Charts, pie charts and rows of numbers are plastered on it.
When all sales teams have returned to the contest, Ele is still struggling with numbers. Add up the income of each area. Comparing with the target, with the achievement of the previous month. The sound of incoming messages on his phone gives a little pause. Ele took a quick look at the screen, apparently it was from her friend Raymond who asked her when she was coming home. Soon Ele replied to the message.
"A little while Ray. I'm a figure drunk." Don't forget Ele made a face emoji with a laughing sticker.
Then Ele put the phone back on. No more replies. He returned to his computer screen. Ele knew very well how her struggle had gotten to this point. He took advantage of his savings from the sale of strawberry houses and plantations. Being proof that Ele was determined to open a cafe in accordance with her dreams.
Ele named it Strawberry cafe as a sign of his love for Alvin. She was supported by two sisters who had saved her. The location of the place is suitable, located on a plateau with very cold and cool temperatures.
Upon entering the main door, visitors will be greeted with an open concept. In front of the cafe there are two tables lined right under the lush trees. And behind the cafe stretch of strawberry plantation is what is the attraction in the strawberry cafe. A dream can relax when picking strawberries. And visitors can ask the cafe waiter to serve cakes from processed strawberry picked directly. This cafe is truly a natural shade, for anyone who comes.
To strengthen the strawberry cafe as a good place to relax, the concept is made in such a way that it is fun for various ages and backgrounds. Some childhood games are provided to accompany the customer.
Strawberry cafe is not only a place to gather, coffee and eat but also can pour ideas through the distribution of places to make custom t-shirts according to taste and various merchandise. This concept is what makes Strawberry cafe different from other dining places that exist. And until now this cafe is much visited from several regions.
Ele smiled letting go of her daydream. He did not realize the day had changed. The day was quite long, he was still struggling with the work he could pursue. The work was completely piled up and little by little it could be completed. Ele even forgot the tea that had been provided for her.
Ele took a deep breath, then rubbed her face with her hands. He stretched his muscles, with fatigue that mounts, his back feels sore and his waist feels like it wants to be dislodged. Ele looked at the ceiling of her room. Trying to forget Alvin's shadow. But he could not forget that easily.
Huuufff! Ele took a deep breath. He tries to calm down. Ele finished her job. Maybe he should check his employees' work first, before Ele gets home.

While on the other side. The waiters of the strawberry cafe were busy preparing birthday surprises for their boss. They decorate the cafe as well as possible so that their boss is happy. They could not imagine, how his boss would express when he received this shock.
"Boss jerk off again get out, get it over with!" the manager of the cafe is named Oliv.
The servants smiled while nodding their heads. They increase the speed of their hands, and feet.
"Everything's done, Oliv's mom," said a female waiter named Angel.
"Good, now turn off all the lights, I'm sure the boss will be out of his room" Oliv said impatiently.
"Well, Oliv's mom." Angel replied.
Five minutes later ....
THE CZECH!
The door closed and the waiters were convinced that it was their boss. Ele stepped gracefully in the cafe corridor. His eyes squinted when the lights were not on.
"Why are the lights off? Have they gone home?" Inner Ele, he still could not believe it. It's still seven o'clock, the cafe's been closed by his employees.
"Oliv! Oliv!" Call Ele as she steps in to turn on the lights.
And suddenly.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOTHER ELE, THE BEST BOSS AND UNDERSTANDING!" Say them simultaneously.
Scattering ribbons of shiny, colorful confetti enliven the place accompanied by cheers from the servants who worked there, who enlivened the birthday of Ele.
Because the surprise succeeded in making Ele stunned, she was shocked and very surprised. His mouth was perfectly round and he smiled happily. His eyes were full of tears when this moment he had also received from Alvin and his best friend Amira.
"You guys....?" Ele could not continue her sentence.
Everyone was laughing happily, Oliv and all the cafe waiters who were planning this surprise. About messy business later, the important thing is to be happy first.
"When did you guys get this ready?" Ele held haru, almost wanting to cry. Ele can't describe her current feelings.
Oliv stepped closer towards Ele. "We set it up while mom was busy in the study." Oliv chuckled as he looked at the surprised expression of Ele. Then his face turned sad. "Happy birthday to Ele's mother. Always happy and hopefully soon can be a mate. " Oliv hugged Ele for a few seconds and then let go.
"It's for, mother." Said Oliv thrusting the gift he wrapped in a box.
Ele's face pursed with her tears, she took the box and opened it. A cute doll and certainly not just that. The doll can talk.
"This is great, Oliv. Thank you." Thank you." She hugged Oliv again.
"Now, it's my turn!" Said Angel carrying a flat rectangular box and giving it to Ele.
"This is for me?"
"Hm. Open, mom!" Angel said smilingly.
Ele opened the rectangular box. It contained a photo as long as they donated cakes, picked strawberries, clean Saturday activities, even Sunday eating activities along with all employees at the cafe. All happy moments with the people who contributed to building this cafe for the better.
Ele smiled as she looked at the photos. And suddenly the atmosphere turned silent. Ele A million dreams' favorite song sounds beautiful and makes everyone enjoy the song.
'Cause every night I lie in bed.
The brightest colors fill my head.
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be.
A vision of the one I see.
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make.
Ele was again moved, when the one who played the song was Liliana. This song means a lot to him who always accompanies the journey of his life. This song has a strong motivation. That he should still be sure and enthusiastic. One day her life will be better. Until this moment Ele believed in it. His determination and passion brought him to this point.
Ele's birthday party went well.
πΈπΈπΈπΈπΈ
Bar and barbeque restaurant.
"Reply to Ele's mother!!!" Shouted Angel enthusiastically as she raised her beer glass with a cheerful smiling face.
Ele with the others immediately raised her beer glass to the middle of the table and toast.
"Ceeerrrrssssss,"
TING! TING! TING!
The sound of the glass surfaces touching each other sounded so loud there. They immediately drank it with a steady gulp together.
"Ohhhhh..." D*sah Ele immediately wiped her lips.
Oliv and the others also m*desah together. "Itahhhh..."
They smile and laugh again. There is no distance between the boss and his employees. Ele considers them his family. Liliana began to busy installing a gas stove in the middle of the table and put butter spread on the pan grill. The fragrant aroma of butter is bubbling, tempting the nose to anyone who kisses it. Oliv also prepared to put a thin slice of beef on the hot pan.
Oliv smiled and leaned his body towards Ele.
"Yes, Ele's mother?" Call Oliv.
"Hmm?" Ele raised an eyebrow responding to Oliv's call with a smile.
"You invited that handsome friend of yours as well, right? you guys look so close? are you guys dating?"
"Uhukkkk...." Ele suddenly coughed.
"Mother Ele, are you okay?" Said Oliv with a worried tone.
"Ah, I'm fine. I'm fine." Ele looked towards Oliv.
"So right, Ele's mother is dating him?"
"I have nothing to do with Raymond. We're just friends."
"really? can you match me, ma'am?"
"Where's your bowl, manager Oliv? the meat will be cooking soon." Liliana diverted the conversation.
"Ah, yes." Oliv immediately raised his bowl towards Liliana. Welcoming the meat that Liliana had clamped for her.
"Ele's mother's bowl," asked Liliana clamping back the ripe meat that was still smelling smoke and an appetizing distinctive aroma.
Ele immediately raised her bowls of rice towards Liliana with a sweet smile. "Thank you, Liliana."
TOK TOK!
Raymond peeked at the end of the door.
"Good night, sorry I'm late."
"Eh! Raymond," Sapa Ele with a smile. "Come, sit down, Ray! We're just getting started."
Raymond approached Ele and gave her the gift box she had prepared. "Happy birthday, Ele."
Ele welcomed the box. "This is for me?"
Raymond nodded, shifted his chair and sat down beside Ele.
"Thank you Ray, you shouldn't bother."
"It doesn't matter Ele,"
Ele placed the gift box beside her.
"This, Ray. Take mine. Eat up!" ele pushed his bowl in front of Raymond.
"Well...." Raymond smiled while looking down. "Thank you, Ele."
Ele replied with a big smile. He again brewed the rice and put it in another bowl for himself.
"How long has it been a handsome master, have the streets been jammed?" asked Oliv while putting the sliced piece of meat into his mouth.
Raymond smiled as he shook his head. "Not really. I met a schoolmate first, who happened to be staying at this hotel."
"Why not bring it along?"
Ele looked towards Oliv. "Eat first, after this we go to karaoke. The service at this hotel is complete, we can go directly to the karaoke room."
Raymond and the others nodded enthusiastically. They enjoyed the meal while having small talk.
