Wife Interlude

Chapter.37 Tenant

"Rin, someone wants to rent a second floor restaurant to celebrate his son's birthday, he wants to meet later at noon" Heni said as the two were having breakfast together.

"Yes, it will be noon I will meet them, just set the schedule, after I pick up the Stars," said Rina while looking at her child who was focusing on breakfast.

Hearing that Star saw Rina at a glance then smiled, she was already afraid that later in the day would not be picked up by her mother. However, in fact, Rina can always manage the time as best as possible, not to make the Stars disappointed.

"My mom has always been the best" he said with a happy smile.

"Who was dong?" ask Rina proudly.

"Mama Star!" the Exclaiming Star was immediately greeted by the laughter of Rina and Heni afterwards.

After delivering Bintang to her school, Rina drives her car to her restaurant, along with Heni. Until a while later, Rina had parked her car in the restaurant parking lot.

A three-storey building, which is quite large, with the name Altair's restaurant emblazoned beautifully in front of him, while beside it there is a cake shop that also serves a variety of cakes with the same lebel, namely Altair' cake and bakery that can be taken home or enjoyed directly, accompanied by coffee, or other drinks available.

Both of them seemed to walk into the building, inside there were employees staying in third-floor rooms, which Rina deliberately provided for workers whose homes were far from the restaurant.

At first it was all Rina provided just for a place to rest, or who came home too late due to overtime. However, the more here, there were some people who asked for permission to stay, considering his distant home.

The greeting was heard, as soon as Rina and Heni went inside, the restaurant that had not opened was. They are open from ten in the morning to ten in the evening, while for cake and bakery, open from eight in the morning to eight in the evening.

"Mom, there's a tiered cake order for weding, can you see the concept first?" ask one of the cake and bakery officials, who approached him to the restaurant.

"Heem, alright, I'll be there soon," replied Rina, then go to the second floor, the place where the office area is located, in addition to the area to hold various events.

Busy, that's the right word for Rina every day. Taking care of two businesses and also paying attention to the management of agriculture in the village, is not an easy thing, especially Rina also has to manage her time with Bintang.

By lunchtime, Rina was already in front of the Bintang school, to pick up the boy. Until a while later, the Star was seen walking towards him with a smile.

"Mama," called her as soon as she got in front of Rina, she then hugged her mother's body and kissed both of her cheeks. A ritual that has never disappeared since the Star was a child.

"We go to the restaurant first yes, Mama there is work there," said Rina after the two sat in the car.

The star nodded, the little boy was used to working with his mother, he was even very familiar with all the employees in the restaurant or cake shop.

Long enough to drive under the hot sun that afternoon, finally Rina arrived at the restaurant with a time that was too late from her promise.

"Rina, you are so long, the person who wants to rent the upper room has come" Heni said with a deep frown, and a panicked tone of voice.

"Where is he now? Sorry, I was stuck in traffic on the street," replied Rina while walking into the restaurant, while Bintang had run first.

"There's on the second floor, they're doing a food test first" Heni replied as she followed Rina.

"Yes, from now on let me handle them. Now you take care of my son, and don't forget to give him lunch" said Rina, then walked quickly to the second floor. His eyes glanced at the star who was seen conversing with one of his employees.

"Ready, Mom boss!" heni joked a little to his best friend.

Rina clucked as she glanced at her best friend was sharp, which was only met with a small ruckus by Heni.

The two reached the second floor, Heni led Rina towards two adults and one daughter who might be smaller in age compared to the Stars.

The two people looked to look at Rina until the eyes of the three people were seen colliding with Rina. Rina was surprised when she saw the figure of the man who was now sitting in front of her, then Rina also glanced at the woman who was feeding the little boy.

The man who now looks to see Rina also looks surprised by this meeting, even though he quickly changes the look of his face to be normal, as well as Rina.

"Good day, Father, Mother. I am Rina, who is in charge here," Rina said introducing herself.

"Hello, I'm Tari, this is my best friend Hilman, and this is my son, Syafira," said the woman who has been very familiar with Rina, even without the knowledge of Dance herself.

Lina smiled, she shook hands with the three people in front of her. "Greetings, nice to meet you guys."

The three adults sat together, they talked about the concept of the event and various other things. Dance turned out to be a very sociable woman, probably because her work background was a flight attendant, making it easy for Rina to discuss with her.

"Meaning this is the fifth anniversary, with the concept of‐-" Rina repeated the details of the event to be held at her restaurant.

Unlike the much-talking Dance, Hilman looked more silent while watching Lina. It seemed like the man was also surprised by his unexpected encounter with Rina, after these few years they had never exchanged any news.

After her divorce with Anjas, Rina did cut off all access to communication with people related to Anjas, she chose to change the number and discard all her bitter past.

"Well, it's done yet?" In the middle of the conversation suddenly the Star approached Rina.

"In a moment, baby, you wait for Mama in the room, yes" said Rina while wiping the top of the Star's head.

"But I want to eat with Mama" complained the star.

"Yes, we'll eat together later" nodded Rina.

"If so, can you borrow your phone?" The star raised its hand.

Rina has not given her own mobile star, her son will only be allowed to play mobile at certain times.

"Heem, okay." Lina put her phone in the hands of the Star. "Now, wait for Mama in the room, can't go anywhere. Okay?"

"Yes, Mama!" The star smiled happily, he then ran back to the back, regardless of the people around him.

The star's exuberant behavior, of course, made Tari, Hilman, and Syafira, distract him.

"Sorry, the arrival of my son, interrupted our conversation," said Rina, feeling bad for both Tari and Hilman.

"It's okay, the name is also a small child," said Tari, while chuckling lightly.

The conversation continued, until some time later they came out of the restaurant with Rina who delivered it.

At the same time, Arya and Anjas get out of their cars, then walk into the restaurant, at different distances. They seem to be unaware of each other, too.

"Father!" exclaiming the Star that immediately became the attention of many people, including Arya and Anjas who now seem to stop their steps simultaneously until finally they stand parallel.
