08. New Orchid

"Why am I not angry over their treatment whether this level of pain is already at the highest level of anger because sometimes a high level of anger is abandonment. I don't care what they do anymore but what I care about is me".

Mama already knows what happened we started from the bottom level again. Many times looking for new employees and finally today get a handsome candidate. His name is Nando His age is only early 20s. He worked while in college, working hours until 17:00 passing from that hour Nando could not because of the schedule he attended college at night.

I don't mind because Ina who used to work on seasoning can work at five in the afternoon to continue Nando guarding the booth. Usually also the sale of pentol unyu is up before five in the afternoon but I anticipate that when Ina is needed he already knows his additional duties.

To cook the seasoning, Mama has got it instead. Beautiful name she is a widow who works as a waitress at the restaurant. It's nine in the morning so before nine he has free time.

It's Saturday afternoon during the work holidays I often stop by the pentol unyu. With Nando, we often make content on the tick. I also added a variety of meatballs from Natasha and brownies lumer from Bu Nindi. Natasha also often promotes pentol unyu to social media or to her friends. A favorable relationship.

Clothing line at this time we have not run because it is quiet order maybe the period of buying clothes is postponed first but the endorse is now more in. I could buy a new car to replace an old one. Currently I am actively saving to collect shophouse rent in strategic places. The plan is I'll open a boutique and a place to eat.

"Ngggrek". The familiar voice that I had so memorized without seeing his voice I already knew who was greeting.

"Eh Adiwarna, what do you want to buy? ". Adicolor looks wrong.

"What message would you like?". Nando greeted me kindly. Of course he does not know Adiwara even though he knows me through viral videos but actually he has never met Adiwarna directly.

"Anything".

"What do you mean by pentol, aci meatballs or brownies? ". Nando looked confused.

" All one pack each".

"What flavor is the pentol spicy, original, spicy sweet with mozzarella topping or without topping". I could see Adiwarna looking annoyed with Nando's carelessness but I let her name also serve the buyer.

"Make it spicy sweet pake mozarella". I represent Adicolor it doesn't feel good too if he lingers here. The pentol unyu booth on the roadside the presence of Adiwarna can cause bad thoughts if there are people who see and know our relationship in the past.

Adicolor sat in front of me awkwardly. I let it go without any interest in starting a conversation.

"Nggrek, I'm here for something".

"Oh yeah?. What need?".

"I'd like to offer you to be the manager who holds my three cafes? ".

"What, manager?" . I was stunned to hear the offer from Adiwarna. After he dumped me, grabbed the employees and opened the business exactly like me now he offered me a job as a manager. It is a form of insanity and shamelessness.

"Yes, Nggrek. You can creatively promote cafes, design content to introduce menus, help management cafes".

I laughed at Adiwarna's offer. Jeez where the shame of Adicolor is, He has cast Me out. Overtaking my booth idea, now he asks me to be the manager in his cafe. My name is well known to people now. Very loss if I work with him, it's the same as promoting free Adiwarna cafe. Oh, it doesn't turn out that he thinks I'm so stupid.

"Can't, Adiwarna, you know I'm still working at the office right now I'm busy taking care of this booth".

A little more I screamed and you should know I'm a selebgram, an influencer with 1M followers currently rates endorse Ku ud bla.. blaa although some of the content of haters who are not willing to see Me famous with a minimalist look at least they still follow and are curious about what I do but of course it is only on the tip of the tongue because of Me ameli himself heard it.

"So I told you why, Adi. Cahya exists anyway. Why not just hold it".

"He's pregnant". Adiwara answered the standard, I smiled cynically at Adiwarna's answer. Cahya certainly does not want complicated with the Adiwara business that he wants only the result of the effort not run the process of building it.

" Find the others. I'm clear on the reason".

"Mas is done". Nando handed over Adiwara's order with a non-unfriendly expression earlier.

" No need to pay".

"I keep paying". Adicolor put her money on the table without turning her head she rushed to leave us.

"That's the legendary Adiwara".

"Hadeeh, he's not a legendary Rangga. Exaltedness".

"Not shameless". I heard Nando's snort.

"He doesn't recognize what shame is".

********************************************

"Eh, Orchids know not your former cafe which is in the establishment not far from this boutique is closed, you know?".

"Huh, seriously?".I was shocked to hear that because the cafe was Adiwara's first venture. I was involved in determining the menu, helping promotion to the office, making a lunch booklet at a friendly price to the office and finally known to many people.

"Yes, let's go through if I'm wrong but how many days it closes. Gini pademi deserted time yes".

I smiled as thinly as I should have been at the time when Pademi had a change in sales not just hoping in the buyers who came but on the changes in sales and menus offered. Some of Ku's partner cafe businesses still run by offering an economical and routine lunch menu making stories of making meals and serving by implementing health protocols.

Pantesan only Adiwara asked Ku to be a manager indeed during this time I contributed many ideas for his business and together we will run the idea. Yes, Orchids who love Adicolor selflessly and eventually forgotten just like that.

I smiled amusedly at the thought of my rejection yesterday. Surely Adiwarna was shocked because the Orchid she knew never refused anything she wanted. What Adiwarna thinks if she thinks I still love her. It's funny I loved her once but that was when she was single and not someone's husband. Adi was still glued to my past self when I was so stupid and lulled into the love she offered

This is the new Maharani Orchid not the old Maharani Orchid. My life has changed so many things are neglected when becoming a lover of Adiwara. Togetherness with my friends, family, productivity for myself who are not experiencing development. Precisely I built Adiwarna business without leaving room for myself.

All is the past now I tread for a new life. To have a future with people who love me. Life is a gift too much to lose if only wailing people who do not want us.

"It's closed". Natasha's voice breaks my daydream. Natasha deliberately reduced the speed of her motor. We did ride the bike at this time so clearly I could see the writing 'close' on the Adiwarna cafe.

Cafes that in the past contributed the largest income compared to other cafes are now closed. Whether temporary or not it feels like I'm reluctant to find out and care about it. I used to not enjoy the results. Especially now.
