Dona was busy again with her interior design work, together with Aisha she also worked on the design of the workshop renovation and the construction of the cafe.

As he planned, he needed the help of an architect for the construction of his cafe.

" Assalamu'alaikum, Mr. Doddy "

" Wa'alaikumsalam, eee Dona how are you?? healthy family?? "

" Thank God, sir. Straight away, I want a renovation, need the help of an architect "

" What renovation is Don?? "

" The workshop has a husband in Mampang. The workshop is not designed, but the plan is to add the floor, to make a cafe on it. I'll send you a picture of her with the design plan "

The next day, Khalis and Dona meet with Mr. Doddy and Mr. Slamet at KA's Car Service.

" So this you want to add the floor above?? " ask Mr. Doddy.

" Yes, sir, can you use steel construction?? "

" Can, full steel. Even in accordance with the industrial look concept that you use. But for the floor, there must still be concrete, later using ordinary concrete blocks only. Basically your design is okay, there is nothing I need to add "

" For water pipes and electricity ?? "

" Hmmm, that's it. It's okay all "

" Well, are you back to work again?? how many years off??? great to still be able to do something like this "

" Back to work for yourself. How many years, 25 years??? very long time ago " replied Dona.

" 25 years off but instantly recharge again, amazing!!"

" Trus needs Don?? "

" In shay Allah. When start?? "

" Yes soon "

" In shaa Allah we start Saturday " replied Khalis.

" Samlet sir, we start Saturday morning. How long was the construction?? " ask Khalis.

" Employed 4-5 weeks completed until finishing. Oiya, for the furniture costume, I've asked Mas Radit here tomorrow morning. So Miss Dona can ask him to make it "

" Yes Ma'am, the work is neat and fast. The design is also good, I'm happy to work with Mas Radit "

" Okay, tomorrow at 9 o'clock" sir "

" Oiya, for his fee directly talk to Mas Khalis aja "

The next day, according to Mr. Slamet's promise, Radit came to meet Khalis and Dona.

Dona then showed the design of the kitchen set build-in, which will later be installed at KA's Cafe.

" The concept is industrial look, I want the kitchen set like this "

" Top tablenya in stainless layer "Dona clear while showing the design picture.

Radit studied Dona's designs carefully.

" Ok, the design is simple. Is this the same table and chair?? "

" If you can, then " replied Khalis.

" When the plan is not "ask Radit.

" In the Lord, the 25th of next month"

" Ok, about 6 weeks yaa, means pretty speeding "

" Can you?? " ask Dona.

" There are 8 tables, 40 seats. The high chair 5. Hmmm kitchen set about 3 weeks at the earliest, may not rain. Because the finishing is good when it is hot, the dry is perfect. For tables and chairs, this is a lot. I worked with the kitchen set to finish "

" But if it can not be together with the completion, a maximum of 4 weeks has been installed all ", Radit explained.

" Okay, in Shea Allah abominations "

" For the cost will be directly my WA" said Khalis.

" Good Sir "

Meanwhile, the,

" You're still catering to Bi Tini ?? " ask Dona.

" Still, Bi Tini is very good, I often get food. He said, Cook it too "

" But you pay him "

" Well, I always add in, but that's Bi Tini also nambukin food, until you can eat three "

" At first, because they don't want to, you don't know what it's like. But lately, too. Because Bi Tini always give more, yes I do not ask for more portions, because now it is quite enough for three "

" Thank God, you've helped Bi Tini and your friend "

The next morning, the time showed at 05:30, Rafif was ready to leave for Singapore, for 5 days, then immediately return to Doha.

" I'm going to the airport now "

" Are you all ready?? is there anything left?? have double checks?? " ask Khalis.

" In shaa Allah is Yah "

" You be careful, don't forget the phone!!! "

" Yes Well "

" If, this is the same sushi bread" Dona said, giving a box of food.

" Thank God, I know my favorite "

" Yes know. Be careful, do not eat late and most importantly!! don't say!!! no surprise title like yesterday!! "

" Hihi, sorry dear mother. In the Lord I will call Mom, until the airport, already checked in, already in the waiting room, already boarding and have arrived "

" Now that's it, it's pinter "

Khalis just shook his head at Rafif and Dona's conversation.

" Yowes Ma'am, Well, I'm leaving, the bulge is waiting in front "

" Yes, fii amanillah "

Khalis and Dona took turns hugging Rafif, not to miss his four siblings who scrambled to say goodbye.

After the farewell routine was completed, Rafif also left for Rawamangun MRT station, to go to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

On the weekend, as planned, Khalis and Dona leave for Adi's house.

After a brief introduction between Dona and Maya, Adi's wife, they soon discuss the issue of Adi's home renovation.

" As you can see, this house was last renovated 5 years ago. Yes now want a little different, not just change the wall paint or curtains. It wants to be like in design magazines or house brochures like this ", explained Adi while showing some brochures of houses and apartments.

" Ooo like home example, catalog. If you want to be like that, no one lives here "

Adi and Maya take a look, making sure what they hear is the same.

" Hmmm sorry, Dona likes to relapse her sarcasm "

" Ooooo." said Adi and Maya together.

" Honest if you get a client who asks like that, it feels like singing 'want me to scream!! ' but do not know what song, how the tone, who sing also who. Because later the title is expectations vs reality, the ending can be disappointed or vice versa. So, close the brochure. Now, take a deep breath and close your eyes, images the house of your dream, the colors, the view, the sound and the feeling "

" Then open your eyes and now, write down what do you see "

" Such as hypnosis?? " ask Khalis.

" Just bring the inner feeling" replied Dona.

Adi and Maya write down what they want from their new home.

Adi wrote,

" House shades of white, light and quiet. Like a house on the beach or on a cool mountain "

Maya wrote, though,

" Cozy house, simple, simple anti-ribet. The atmosphere is calm, it feels light and cool, the inn is relaxed and make stress "

After Dona read it, she immediately poured her idea on the paper.

Khalis looked at Dona with admiration. In his heart he said,

" They said, smart woman is sexy, I said, smart woman is absolutely sexy!!! "

Shortly thereafter Dona had completed the sketch drawing.

" So, this is the design of the house that I translated from the dream of Father and Mother. The design concept is Scandinavian Look. Homy style, simple, minimalist "

" Like-similar interior of our house" said Khalis.

" Either, basically the design of a model like this is what I like, but it does not mean I design as I want, but this design is the translation I captured from this paper " answer Dona.

Adi and Maya study Dona's sketches,

" Likeaaa" Maya said with a smile.

" Nah thisih, so curious about the advanced design how "added Adi.

" I'm sorry, to be continue." joked Dona.

" Yowes is a deal, the design is like this. Hmmm there is a complete plan of this house isn't it?? " ask Dona.

" There, I briefly get "answered Adi who immediately went to her room.

" How long is the renovation ?? "

" Hmmm if not a lot of space unloading, just tidying up, a week is also finished. But if many are dismantled yaaa can be up to a month, depending on a lot of work "

Adi returned with a map containing the complete floor plan of his house.

" This is the plan "

" I borrowed ya. Can you photograph the room?? "

" That's fine, yuk " answered Maya while taking Dona around her house.
