Chapter 8 - Rafandra's Good Intentions

Nadia forgot all the negative thoughts that filled her brain. She must try to think positively so that the bad things he doesn't want don't happen. The beautiful girl was immediately busy preparing Rafa's order, while occasionally glaring at Rafa who was busy playing with his cell phone.

Finished preparing Rafa's order, Nadia immediately delivered it. The girl lowered her head reluctantly to look at Raka, she didn't want to talk to Rafa again. But unfortunately, Rafa seems very interested in Nadia.

"Nadia-" Rafa called when Nadia was about to return to her stand.

"Yes?" the girl turned.

"Can I help you with work today?"

Nadia raised her eyebrows in confusion. Why did Rafa bother to help himself? Moreover, it's already late, and shouldn't Rafa be going home soon. Is Rafa not afraid that his parents will scold him later?

"Helping me? For what? I can do it myself," said the girl in a slightly curt tone.

"Erm, I just wanted to help you. Your hand is sore, isn't it?" persuaded Rafa.

"It's okay--"

Rafa immediately stood up from his seat and approached Nadia. The teenage boy put his palms together pleading.

"Please..." Rafa whimpered with adorable puppy eyes.

Oh god, what's with this boy. Why is he so fickle all the time? Being assertive, being considerate, being friendly, and now being spoiled. Does he have multiple personalities?

Nadia couldn't think anymore, her brain seemed to have gone blank because of Rafa's actions. The girl shook her head quickly a sign that she didn't want to be helped by Rafa.

Tiingg ...

The shop doorbell rang. A sign that a customer is coming in. Rafa quickly approached the customer, which was none other than two female students. I don't know from which university.

"Welcome to Cafe Berry. What would you like to order?" welcome Rafa friendly plus charming eye smile.

Nadia glared perfectly, she really couldn't believe Rafa would do that.

"Woah... I just found out that this shop has a handsome part-time employee, I thought it was just a high school girl," said one of them.

"I also just found out ..." said her friend while continuing to stare at Rafa without blinking.

The two female students seemed to be stunned by Rafandra's handsomeness, they couldn't take their eyes off the handsome teenager. And this makes Nadia, not like it. Didn't like it because the girl thought that Rafa was using his Visuals to attract customers.

Nadia doesn't like that kind of thing.

"So, what do you want?" Rafa asked again with an awkward smile.

"Ah... Coffee latte two..." said one of the students.

Rafa smiled sincerely and nodded his head. "Okay, it will be prepared soon... Please wait, sis," he said politely.

The two female students seemed to melt on the spot because of Rafa's smile. Meanwhile, Rafa scratched the back of his neck which didn't pitch because he didn't understand at all the gazes of the two people who were older than him.

"Hey, who asked you to be so presumptuous? I didn't even acknowledge your request to help me work here," Nadia snapped.

"Shut up, or you can throw your customers away. Besides, they seem to be happy when I serve them," said Rafa while busy preparing orders.

Nadia snorted in annoyance. Why did Rafa act as he pleased? Nadia has not even agreed to Rafa's request. It sucks for Nadia.

"But, you shouldn't be so presumptuous. What if the shop owner finds out? What should I say?" Nadia said while following Rafa's every move who was preparing orders.

Rafa paused for a moment, then looked at Nadia. "Don't worry, I'm not here to work. I just want to help you. That's all," he said.

"B-but, I don't need your help. I can do my work," Nadia raved.

"Tsk, never mind. You'd better help me prepare the order than babbling nonsense like this. Got it?" Rafa said.

"No! I don't want to understand you. I ask you to leave here," said Nadia coldly.

Rafa immediately froze hearing that. Nadia seemed to be angry with him, even though her tone of voice was not like someone emotional, but Rafa knew that Nadia was not playing with her words.

The teenage boy immediately put down the coffee cup he was holding, then looked at Nadia with a strange look and did not understand what the beautiful girl was saying.

"N-nad, are you mad at me?" Rafandra whispered.

"According to you?" said Nadia flatly.

Rafa looked at Nadia with a sad look, he felt guilty for Nadia. But, was what he did wrong? Rafa only intends to help Nadia to work today because she knows that Nadia must be very tired after school.

"My intentions are good because I want to help you, I have no intention of interfering in your work,"

"But, why are you angry with me?" asked Rafa who did not understand Nadia.

"I know your intentions are good, but I don't need it at all. You'd better go home because your parents must have been looking for it," Nadia replied, the girl took over the coffee cup that Rafa had placed.

Nadia was indifferent to Rafa, not even waiting for a response from the handsome teenager. She just walked away delivering the orders of the two students earlier. Meanwhile, Rafa looked at Nadia confusedly because he also didn't know why Nadia could turn so cold to him. Rafa didn't understand that what he was doing was wrong because basically for Rafa he was really sincere just wanted to help Nadia as his new friend.

The two female students watched the fight between Rafa and Nadia. Until Nadia delivered their order, the two female students reprimanded Nadia.

"Hey, sis. don't be rude to your friend. He has good intentions to help you," said one of the two female students.

"Yes, you can't know how to talk like that to your friend," added another.

Nadia smiled awkwardly. "I know, Sis. But, I also have reasons why I have to talk like that to my friends," she said.

"He's wrong or not, at least he's not causing trouble, why not just leave it alone?"

"Sorry, if you're just here to meddle in my business, you'd better go. You don't know what my problem is, so please don't interfere!" Nadia said.

The two students fell silent immediately. Meanwhile, Rafa had taken his school bag to leave the shop. The teenager looked at Nadia hoping that Nadia would stop her steps, but Nadia didn't care at all. Nadia returned to her stand and sat looking at the shop's income.

Rafa sighed and immediately left the shop without saying goodbye to Nadia. After he left he closed his eyes and sighed again.

"I know there must be a reason behind your behavior like this, Nad." He said with a wry smile.

Meanwhile, Nadia herself also smiled sadly after Rafa's departure.

"Sorry if my words were too harsh. But, I don't want Bianca to hate me even more because of you!" she muttered.

Indeed, that's all Bianca can do, if she doesn't put distance between herself and Rafa, then it's likely that Rafa will also try to get closer to her and that's not what Nadia wants. So, as much as possible, Nadia had to keep some distance between herself and Rafa before Bianca misunderstood her.
