8. Meatball Cart
Later in the evening. Kenzo hasn't closed the restaurant yet because there are still customers who come to visit. Kenzo was cooking food and Juna was standing by the door saying welcome when a customer came in.
Febee sat quietly in the kitchen chair, Kenzo's efforts seemed to be helped by a young female worker who was still in high school. She's Lidia, a beautiful and naughty girl who a month ago applied for a part-time job at her restaurant.
"What would you like to order, Mother? Here is blah blah blah blah-" Lidia explained to one of the restaurant visitors.
Kenzo smiled when he accidentally saw Lidia's enthusiasm for work, the high school student was Kenzo's neighbor from two months ago.
"Lydia!" Call Kenzo.
Lidia turned and immediately jogged to meet Kenzo. "What bro?" Lydia asked.
"Take this order to table number 7." Tell Kenzo to put two plates of menus in one tray.
Lidia nodded and accepted the tray and walked carefully to the table she was aiming for. From the name Lidia is an antagonist, but in this story Lidia is an interesting character besides the main character. The reason? Confidential.
Febee's gaze can't be separated from her lover's movements, since the high school girl came to work, Febee didn't like it. Febee sees Kenzo as comfortable and likes Lidia. It can be seen from the smile that the man often gives secretly to Lidia from a distance.
When he was with her, Kenzo smiled very sparingly, for years he had a relationship with Kenzo but still the results of his development were nil.
"Watch his eyes!" Febee scolds Kenzo who has been watching Lidia since she was working.
Kenzo turned his head in surprise at Febee. "You jealous .." Kenzo pouted then continued to cook food orders.

Evening arrived, the restaurant was not as busy during the day. Now the four of them are gathered at one table, with Febee who has been clinging to her lover's arms.
"Our efforts are not in vain Boss! The money is a lot and it's not like yesterday." Lidia said smiling happily to see today's income count is more than the previous day.
Kenzo smiled, he put today's earnings into an empty cookie tin. "Yes, thank you." Fuji Kenzo to God.
Febee smiled, she was very grateful to have a hardworking lover like Kenzo. "Honey.." Called Febee.
Kenzo looked up lazily. "What?" Even though his expression seemed forced, it seemed that Kenzo still had time to answer.
"Take me home now, aunt Lim must be very worried because I didn't come home from yesterday. I'm afraid she's looking for me," said Febee.
"Who told you to stay here? Just go home," said Kenzo.
"Sis Lilan you can't do that, it's a pity that Febee came home Cendilian." Juna joined in.
"See.. Juna just understand, don't you as a boyfriend? Send me toooooooo .." Febee whined.
"Yes yes!" Kenzo is annoyed.
Febee smiled happily then glanced at Lidia sarcastically. "Are you?" Febee asked curtly.
Lidia who was just watching immediately looked away, her boss's boyfriend was very fierce. He seemed afraid of Lidia snatching the Boss from him, even though Kenzo was far from his ideal type.
"You want to go home right? Come on!" Lerai Kenzo before there was a world war between women.
Aunt Lim is Morgan's mother. Both of Febee's parents have been absent since she was born in the world, so that's why since childhood she has been taken care of by her mother's older sister's family. Morgan is the son of Lim's aunt. To be more precise, Morgan is his younger cousin, but because they are much older than Morgan, Febee is not willing to have to call Morgan a sister.
"Ok meaaaaang!" Febee said happily.
Kenzo shook his head hearing the words of affection from Febee's mouth. "Oh yes Lidia. Please take care of Juna while I'm outside, is it okay?" Kenzo said.
Lidia nodded accompanied by a sweet smile from Juna. "Yes Boss!" said Lydia.
Febee glared at her, she didn't like to see him, he was so cute. While Juna couldn't help but smile, she was still small and didn't know what competition was from Febee's point of view now.

On the way to the bus stop. Kenzo pedaled his bicycle with Febee behind the wheel.
'Test'
One drop of rain fell right on Kenzo's nose. He pulled his bicycle first, looked up at the sky which now looked cloudy and gray.
"What's wrong Ken?" Febee asked worried.
"It's okay, it looks like it will rain soon. Do you want to take shelter first or go straight to the bus stop? The sky is cloudy, the journey is also quite far and uphill." Kenzo replied making an offer.
Febee looked up to see the sky that looked cloudy, she was confused about whether to go on or take the shade. "I don't know, Ken. If we continue, we'll be soaking wet," replied Febee.
Kenzo knew the answer and immediately looked for a suitable edge for shade. On the side of the road in front of the meatball cart Kenzo stopped and parked his bicycle.
Febee went down followed by Kenzo. The man pulled Febee's arm to follow her in the shade under the tarpaulin umbrella of the meatball cart.
"Follow me, Kang!" Kenzo's permission was nodded kindly by the meatball seller.
Kenzo and Febee were given plastic manual chairs to sit on. With the cold weather, there was a commotion from the other side.
"What's that voice Ken?" Febee asked worried.
"You'll find out later," Kenzo replied.
Sure enough, soon a heavy rain fell on their place and the entire city streets. Febee just found out that the boisterous sound she heard earlier was a sign of a big rain with large droplets of water coming, maybe because she was used to being in a closed room when it rained.
"Ken.." Called Febee.
"What?"
"Want meatballs," asked Febee in a half whisper.
"Hah?"
"Want meatballs!" Pinta Febee slightly raised the intonation of the volume of her whisper.
Kenzo glanced at the meatball baker, the meatball baker looked confused at Kenzo's stare like that.
"What's the matter, sir?" Asked the meatball seller confused.
"This girl just wanted meatballs, can you make one for her?" Kenzo replied.
"Just one, sir?"
"Yeah. I'm having stomach problems, so just order one." Obviously Kenzo.
"Ouh.. Get ready!" Said the meatball seller nodded in understanding and immediately made it.
Phoebe smiled. His girlfriend is very kind, cold weather eats meatballs. "Thanks Ken. But why didn't you tell me you had a stomach ache? Febee said shifting her chair closer to Kenzo.
"It's no use," Kenzo replied.
"I'm your boyfriend Kenzo. I should have known, you know I have the right to know everything that concerns you." Febe said.
"Hmm.." Kenzo mumbled stupidly.
"Ken!" Call Febe.
"Hmm.."
"You know the difference between you and Meatballs?" Febe asked.
Start. Kenzo gave him a strange look, usually a guy who rambled on but this was the other way around. Even if he had to be himself, Kenzo was lazy to think, finding ragged words was difficult.
"Don't know,"
"Why do not you know?" Febe asked.
"Huh?"
"The difference is that you are the same as the meatballs, if the meatballs are round, you are round." Febe said.
"It's the same," Kenzo muttered.
"It's different, the bullet is Meatballs, the round is you. As if I was determined to get you, round there is no side to stop." Obviously Febee smiled rabbit.
Kenzo rolled his eyes lazily, didn't he? "Stupid .." Kenzo sneered looked the other way.
Febee giggled amused to see her, she was so happy that she kissed her lover. "Isn't that right? The proof is last night I managed to make you enter akppppp-"
Kenzo immediately covered Febee's mouth with the palm of his hand, usually this girl would slip up in public. You can drag him down if people find out that Kenzo is sleeping with a girl at his house.
"Shhh.. Shut up!"
