Realized that if Kevin didn't answer his question Arra became more and more silent, the two of them didn't even talk to each other after Arra arrived at his house.
Kevin's departure even made Arra just sigh heavily, she walked into the yard to the house sluggishly and entered the house to her room.
It seemed like her mother wasn't around, Arra finally walked to her room and took a shower.
She forgot her cell phone, didn't even mean to check messages from anyone. His father, mother, Raenal, or even Giral. Arra just needed a shower and went somewhere.
As he remembered last night, Lunar needed help from him, and Arra would come to a cafe near his house which was fifteen minutes away by bicycle.
After showering and getting ready, Arra started to take her work bag and her cellphone. This morning there was also a meeting to ask if there was a problem with each of the cafes that Arra was holding.
And Lunar (a cafe near Arra's house) will start buying warehouse supplies. Of course, it needed Arra's signature and approval.
Arra contacted Lunar after the meeting this morning if Arra would come. To be honest, Arra was coming with her mother, but it seemed her mother was taking care of something.
Finished with preparations to leave, Arra sat on her bed first. The woman took her cell phone to open the messages from the people who sent her messages since this morning.
Mommy
/Arra, I'm coming with your dad to town. Maybe tomorrow morning mom will come home, if you need anything ask your two older brothers. Mommy has entrusted you to them./
Daddy.
/Arra, I brought your mother because I need your mommy to help with the work here. Take good care of yourself, ask Raenal and Giral for help. Daddy comes home early tomorrow morning./
Bro Raenal.
/I asked Kevin to pick you up, just tell Giral if you're going home with Kevin. /
/Dad call me if mommy and daddy are going to town and come home early, tell me if you need anything./
/Are you here? Kevin called me earlier, do you have an agenda?/
Arra smiled faintly and returned to divert another message without replying.
Bro Giral.
/You have friends doesn't mean I can't pick you up, Arra!/
/Alfi's presence doesn't make me forget my other priorities, Arra. You're still my little sister./
/OK./
/Mom and dad called me, I'll be right back at seven in the morning. Ask aunty if you need anything else./
/Bro Raenal will come home quickly, if you need to go out, try to go home before Bro Raenal gets home. /
/Six o'clock at night./
Arra went back to reading another message to find her needs.
There was Lunar, Arra opened the message faster because she needed it.
Sis Lunar.
/Come any time, lady. We've prepared anything you need here.
/I've listed everything, just permit me and I'll do it. Just write your full name and signature, Ms./
/After three o'clock, are you coming./
Text message just now, Arra chuckled and returned to reply to Lunar.
/Of course, Sis. I'll be here in twenty minutes from now./
Arra wrote briefly intending to go straight to the cafe with a bag and put the cellphone in his pocket. Arra started to go to the trunk to get his bicycle.
"Uncle, thank you for preparing it for me," said Arra when she saw the man had prepared his bicycle with his helmet.
"You're welcome, miss. Do you need me to follow you from behind?" asked the man to make sure the daughter's safety from her boss. Arra refused, the woman put a helmet on her head.
"I'll go first, uncle," said Arra, and Arra immediately rode his bicycle to follow the path he was supposed to take.
Twenty minutes is a short time Arra has arrived by storing her bicycle in the parking lot in front of the cafe.
There were so many people starting to stop at the cafe, and it made Arra smile happily.
His arrival immediately made most of the workers salute, Arra gave a small reply. The woman walked into the room inside to meet Lunar.
"Bro," said Arra, making the adult woman nod her head slowly and step closer to her. "Sorry to make you have to come, Arra. I haven't been able to come to your house because it's too crowded," Lunar said feeling guilty making Arra shake her head not having any objections at all.
"No, Bro. I don't mind coming," said Arra, taking out her laptop and opening it to check her financial data for the past month.
Then made Arra look back at what was there and what stock needed to be filled. "That's a lot," complained Arra although she was honestly happy, Lunar chuckled.
"Recently someone knows this caffe. I made some advertisements on social media with a new brochure. So sorry if I ask for more stock, miss." Ara nodded her head unconcerned. The woman gave her bright name and autograph.
"I agree," Arra replied immediately handing him a copy. "Since it's a lot, is there enough money to fill the stock?" Arra asked Lunar, who immediately took out the card, which made Lunar immediately reject it.
Lunar even quickly provided a copy of the previous two weeks' earnings which would surprise Arra.
"Look at this." Lunar chuckled after giving it, Arra who saw it was even quite surprising. "That much?" Arra asked because usually the target for one month's income has been achieved in one week.
This is amazing.
"I add new menus and new snacks every Monday and Friday. Can I ask you to add one more barista? My cousin needs a job, and I've been asking her to join barista classes for the last two years at the end of her school year. Is that okay?" Lunar asked asking Arra's permission to send her cousin to work for her caffe.
"Ask to come the day after tomorrow, Raenal and I will see it," Arra answered without certainty but explained that Arra was always professional in her work. Of course, it made Lunar a little displeased, Raenal was not an easy guy to pass, even his cousin during the final exam got into trouble with being sick and his grades weren't perfect.
Very bad.
Will his cousin be able to?
Arra laughed, she shook her head slowly. "Don't think about things that aren't necessarily obvious, Bro." Arra reprimanded Lunar making the woman chuckle a little. "Don't come with me shopping, miss."
"I know you're exhausted, and to be honest I need you to see all the workers while working here. Do you think adding a barista can be rethought. I'm just giving you a suggestion," Lunar said getting ready with his clothes and bag. "You're ordering me?"
Lunar shook her head slowly, the woman didn't mean it it was just that she was uncomfortable because of something yesterday.
"I don't want you to tire and help the caffe work here, lady. You're the owner, not me." Arra laughed, she nodded her head slowly and walked out, but before that.
"Bring three men and one woman, Sis." Lunar nodded his head slowly and was ready to take all the warehouse workers.
"I'll be monitoring you all until five o'clock Sis, so leave safely, come home, safe Sis." Lunar nodded her head obediently, she also knew what she had to do.
Arra go to the barista to ask for a drink, another Lunar because the lady left with some other workers.
"How many new menus did Sis Lunar make this week, Bro?" Arra asked the first barista that Arra got when Arra had just opened the caffe. To be honest Raenal's friend too, but the proa didn't graduate from college.
"About twenty-one this month, I learned a lot from that. And there's a new snack I need to learn, so I feel like I'm learning a lot, lady." Arra smiled in relief at the man's answer, and again. Arra is happy to see all his employees work happily even though they are under a lot of pressure.
"Make me low-calorie milk, Bro." The man nodded and prepared it, but before that, the man asked. "Drink here?" Ara nodded her head slowly. "Yes."
The man did it calmly and happily, not long after that Arra started asking again. "Sis Lunar told me if she needed another barista, and her cousin would come in for your part. What do you think, Bro?"
"I don't know that's why I asked," he said making the man chuckle, he shook his head slowly.
"There are too many workers to add, miss. And I think adding a barista will reduce the income. Also, three waiters are too much. I can occasionally ask them for help other than the cashier." Arra took a sip of her drink standing up because she liked to talk a lot with her older brother's friends.
"I already talked to Sis Lunar to agree, but passed the test from Bro Raenal. Can you say this to Bro Raenal?" The man nodded his head slowly, the man would also say it. And that's for sure.
"It's too crowded. I want to make another floor above. What do you think?" The man shrugged his shoulders without an answer, orders piled up and Arra just walked away.
"All your work is fun, Bro." Arra sat in the customer's seat, and the woman occasionally drank her milk and played on the cellphone. Just wanted to see how busy the caffe was, only fifteen minutes to sit down, that's true.
There were so many new customers settling in, but he didn't see a problem if the barista needed help.
Arra could see how slowly the waitress worked for the barista. "Gosh, what exactly does Sis Lunar want," complained Arra when she felt that she had been lied to by her report just because she wanted to put her cousin into Arra's cafe.
Thinking complicatedly for a few minutes made Arra not realize that a woman her age asked permission to sit in front of her.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" he repeated made Arra wake up with her daydream. "Go ahead," he answered making the woman sitting in front of Arra.
"You've been a customer here for a long time?" she asked making Arra a little awkward. "Not yet, just the last few days," Arra replied as a diversion.
"Ooo. I've been a long time, the last two years. My aunt directed me to be a barista, and I'm taking extra classes at school." Arra furrowed her brows slowly, she seemed to be stung by something.
"He said being a barista has a big salary," he continued.
"What's your name?"
"Crystal's." Ara laughed a little. "Oh."
