95. Preparation of Grand Opening Miepa
...Forgetting someone is not easy...
...but I'm sure of the intention...
...not impossible things...
...Now that's asking, though,...
...How big is my intention...
...To forget it?...

Nindi, the name of the woman who had been near Ken. How many times have we glanced at us with unfriendly looks.
"The girl glanced at you from earlier, Ken," I whispered in Kenzo's ear.
"Heeemmm," Kenzo just cleared his throat, He sliced the steak in front of him, Then my lover chewed slowly. Letting Nindi stare fixedly from her position not far from us.
"How the hell! I'll ask medium why it's medium well. Try you to taste, honey," Ken put a piece of steak in my mouth. I saw Nindi's expression that turned haunted.
"Dear, baby, a little ripe but still feels soft inside." replied I doubt, Actually I do not understand the maturity of steak.
No dear, this maturity is for medium well. I have to go to the chef. You're following the show alone!"
Kenzo stood up from the chair and walked past Nindi without turning his head. I saw that Nindi had already done her hair many times when Ken passed by.
Steak maturity level is more attractive to Kenzo than beautiful women apparently. I joined other influencers. Some of them I know because I used to collaborate, when my video was going viral.
Laura and Angel are beauty bloggers and Inca are halal food influencers. They welcomed enthusiasm. I sat between the three.
The master of ceremony started to open the show, The sound of music started to sound. Some cameraman and photographers started to point at us. I checked the draft of the event Kira gave me. Not too much of an event.
I was swept up in the excitement of the show, a chat with other influencer colleagues. Opens up your mind about many things.
"Anggrek now his efforts are progressing. Miepa outlets are now in several places," said Laura, her lentic eyelashes blinked many times. She is very beautiful with a neat makeup.
"Yes, Cool you Nggrek. When did you invite me? is there a halal certificate yet?" ask Inka.
"Eh not yet, I haven't taken care of it."
I just realized about this, Inca then gave management information to get the halal label from MUI.
"Oh yes, next Tuesday there will be a grand opening of the first Miepa restaurant. Located on sudirman street. The menu is much more diverse, various variants of noodles. There are natural ingredients as well, various kinds of frozen food that can be eaten there. The boba drink menu is also more varied. You can attend, right?" ask me after explaining at length.
"If you invite us, it must be present" Angel commented to some of the others. Our conversation stopped when the MC requested attention for the main event. Latest product introduction 'yourTea'.
We were almost at the end of the show when Kenzo walked over. Laura whispered in my ear, Apparently they've known Kenzo for a long time.
According to them, Ken is friendly but they have never seen Kenzo with women. It turns out that the story of Kenzo and Cahya after how many years is not much in people remember.
I also just found out Kenzo is the kind of guy who puts the top spot for single women, in our city. Am I lucky that he chose me?
"Ken's taste is apparently a fellow businessman as well as a pantasan he never turned to us, uh us. Canda ya Orchid," Angel's comment on Laura's elbow. I laughed at Angel. I know he's just kidding.
Ah Laura and Angel, your wavy, waving eyelashes will be the judgment of a Kenzo, when he becomes her lover. Maybe ken will bring a ruler to measure it. "my inner, nosy thoughts just pass by.
Attending this product invitation in addition to being useful for my social media, other points I get connections for halal certification management and Miepa restaurant promo.
Their presence and existence in the digital world makes their presence, as a promo event for my restaurant.

H-5 Grand opening (Thursday)
I asked Nando to conduct halal certification. Then I started to get busy with Rika in Miepa's kitchen team and to Mila's place for frozen food.
"My news is good, how are the incumbent candidates. Still work. Cuti dong," I replied a little surprised to see Doni still deliver chicken stock.
"Already on leave, I'm here just dropping off a note for purchases to your office. Saw you here, so all of you stopped by. Invitation accepted?" ask Doni.
"Happy, Congratulations!" say me sincerely.
"Yes thanks. When are you coming, Nggrek?"
"Just do it as soon as possible" I smiled awkwardly remembering Doni once asked me to be his partner. Tania is Jeno's mother, Son of Doni.
"May catch up quickly. Don't forget to be on our show, yeah,"
"Ready, send my regards to Mama and Jeno yes,"
"Good, Nggrek."
Doni passed in front of me and Mila. Soon she will be Tania's halal partner. Remember Tania I just realized not yet to the boutique to ensure departure to Jakarta. Find a fabric supplier at papa Natasha's recommendation.
I need to see Natasha to discuss this. The more days of my busy life in the boutique the less, the luck for me Natasha can count professionally. About our revenue share.
Trrtt.
I grabbed the phone in my bag and saw a phone call from Bian.
"Hello,"
"Flowers,"
Yes, Brother Bian. What's up?"
"Tuesday's grand opening of Miepa's restaurant, right?"
"Yes right, brother,"
"Have you booked for the documentation service?"
"Hmmm, Nando and Andi are conducting the management of the implementation committee. Including documentation services,"
"May I ask for this job, Nggrek!"
"But, Brother Bian. This I've handed over to the team, later there will be a double booking if not one lane,"
"You're the owner, you have power. I've fulfilled your request regarding Miepa's restaurant. Many waivers I give, why only one job. You mind giving it to me, Nggrek?"
"Sister Bian about this...."
"I need it, Nggrek. The request regarding the restaurant rental and renovation has been fulfilled. I'd love to be involved in 'your work, Nggrek, really don't you want to give me a chance?"
"Well, Brother Bian I'll pass it on to Nando and Andi,"
"Love, Maharani Orchid."
I hung up on Bian. I honestly avoided taking care of the documentation, since I had expected this to happen.
There is laughter in the heart when listening to him reasonedly requires work. The return of Bian in the family has signaled Bian's financial recovery. I don't know why Bian still likes to be here in his old car.
What he is comfortable with when people view him as an individual without the shadow of his family. I don't know sometimes it's hard to guess people's minds.
I thought back to the grand opening. Kenzo and his family will be at the event, I obviously don't want Bian to be there. Especially as a restaurant owner. I'll be more highlighted, My side of heart is sure Bian is curious about the Kenzo family.
This heart is still difficult to get rid of Bian directly. When I tried to slowly put Bian in the past but he stayed here.
Bian is always present at every opportunity, It turns out it is not easy to get rid of the Prasetya family members in my life. They have planted roots in this life. It's not that easy to pull it out.
