That night I just came from the airport and went straight to the restaurant where I work tomorrow to become a Chef and CEO at this place. My body feels so tired, I want to rest in my room until tomorrow morning. The trip from Paris was so far away, it made my body want to be spoiled by warm water and a soft mattress. But all that was just my imagination, because tonight I have to come to the soft opening where I work tomorrow. With a luxurious suit that looks so fitting and cool on my body, I attended the event. By the time I was about to enter the restaurant, I was stunned to see a beautiful woman standing alone welcoming the guests with her sweet smile that was so memorable to me. The girl's smile was able to make my heart pound and wanted to always look at her face. I was amazed when there was a hand curled around my shoulder, awakening me from the beautiful daydream of the beautiful girl with her sweet smile sweeping me. It turned out that it was my Daddy who made the girl in front of me. He was invited by a woman wearing a tight-fitting work shirt to greet my Daddy so respectfully. The beautiful girl looked embarrassed - embarrassed by the sweet smile that always expands on her lips which are hemispheres on her lower lip. It turned out to be that detailed I noticed it. I think I've fallen for the charm. This time I felt like this. I looked at the girl's face as if there was no boss. The woman who asked him now introduced herself and the girl to my Daddy. It turns out that the woman was marketing here, and the beautiful girl who had a sweet smile was a cashier here. But the question mark and what makes me wonder is, why is he alone who welcomes guests by wearing kebaya? Who told him to? Ah if you know who told her to wear the kebaya today, I would definitely thank her, because on the first day I came to be greeted by a wealthy angel who succeeded in making me forget the tiredness that I had complained about. Use a beautiful kebaya, especially if she wears a dress that is so beautiful? I can't imagine, I think my brain is already filled with the face of this girl I just met.
My Daddy who is the owner of this company is very welcome here, while I am a successor who has been authorized by Daddy as CEO and Chef here. But I'm not just satisfied with the results of my parents' gifts, I have a lot of my own business that I started from scratch and without my Daddy's help. Actually I refused to be CEO here, but Daddy was very angry if I refused him, he put the burden of all his company on me, even though Daddy is still actively working, but he just to help me.
My Daddy is a descendant of Japan and England, while my Mommy is a descendant of China and Indonesia. So you can imagine the blood flowing in my body is the blood of various countries. Hahaha sometimes I like to laugh because given the origin of my Mommy and Daddy family who have blood derivative from various countries. And now in front of me, I found a new girl that I wanted to make my life companion this time. I don't know why, when I just met him and have never talked to him, but I was so sure of my feelings that I really wanted him.
Daddy introduced me to them as Chef at this place. I shook hands with a woman named Nadia who is said to be marketing here, I did not feel anything special, he said, just like I shake hands with my other girlfriends.Eh but not a girlfriend who how - how yes, a girlfriend - really friend, really friend, yeah like college friends for example and my coworkers in Paris. However, when I shook hands with Caramelia Faraza, the name of the girl who caught my eye from earlier, my heart seemed to beat fast and it felt like I wanted to always look at her face. But yes..we can not linger - long chat together, because he served as the receptionist and I, of course I accompanied my Daddy inaugurate this restaurant. I hope tomorrow we will meet again even I want to get closer to him. Just wait for you....
The raymond POV end
"Here is the artist we just came" said Mr. Anto when he saw Caramel cleaning food and drinks that read his name on the cashier's table.
Caramel turned to be surprised to see the two of them who arrived - arrived there already.
"Artist?" Caramel turned to the right and left looking for someone and it turned out that there were only three of them.
"Yes you are the artist of this place" replied Mr. Anto who seemed to be mocked but also demeaning.
"meaning?" Caramel did not understand why he was called that way by Mr. Anto.
"You're like an artist. Tuh your photo is used as wallpaper on the HP of the boys here", said Mr. Anto back.
"the photo? What the hell is the photo, sir? Whose picture?" furious with Caramel because from earlier he felt confused at the words of Mr. Anto who was like a puzzle for him.
"Yes your picture, use the temple - pura do not know anymore. That's the photo that became the wallpaper on your HP, and now the photo is their HP wallpaper", obviously Mr. Anto who is now looking - look at the food and drink at the cashier table that inscribed the name Caramel on the paper that was on the wrapper of food and drinks.
"Huh?! How could they get my picture? From where?" tanya astonished Caramel with her confused face.
"It is not necessary to pretend, at least you yourself are loving, right?" accuse Mr. Anto of Caramel.
"Where did they get your picture?" still Mr. Anto cornered Caramel.
"He doesn't understand. I'm confused too. The person I never gave a picture of me to whom - who. I just make it as a wallpaper in my HP", repeated Caramel to believe that the talk is true.
"Your son so you, in the morning already get food and drink", said Mr. Luki who approached and saw - look at the food and drink that read the name Caramel earlier.
"Not only here, on the restaurant table there are also many. Crazy yes they to the whole time preparing food and drinks in the morning - gini morning for you. Not yet the afternoon comes, wow can be a lot tuh. What do you love them to be like to you?" again, Mr. Anto accused and cornered Caramel.
"Love what? Never say anything to them" answered Caramel with a cocky heart, but made relaxed so as not to be considered rude to the boss and to the older person.
"Well they often nganter you, he said even they often to your house" accuse Mr. Anto back.
"Nganters. Just just nganter until the front of the house, sir, they also never stopped by into the house really. And about them playing at the house for a while, just a few minutes and my parents were there, they never left me alone with the opposite sex, especially in the house, sir. So please sir, stop accusing me of not - no. And, oh yeah, this whole food and drink thing I don't know who's giving. For the photo, I could also swear that I didn't give it to anyone, no exception", Caramel started cleaning the place for just a few minutes and then said goodbye to go back to the restaurant.
"Sorry sir, I'm in first. For food and drinks if you want just take it. I have already memorized how many, so do not hesitate, take it, free", Caramel vented his heartache through words - he said then Caramel out of the cashier area of the game.
Her heart was so sore, she was angry that feeling accused of not being - not this early, made her mood worse. This morning it was lost to be polite to the boss and people older than him. No matter what their reaction to his actions were, all he cared about right now was his pride that seemed to have been trampled on.
Morning was the beginning of a day, and the beginning of the day was so bad for Caramel. It felt like he wanted to shout out that he did not like all the actions of Mr. Anto. With his attitude just now, it seems Caramel has hit the drums of war with Mr. Anto. He used to always pay attention to all his actions and words to everyone, especially to people older than him and his superiors where he worked.
Ah, I want her to turn the clock around and convince her mom to go to college. Actually Caramel has been accepted to study at a campus that is outside the city, because according to his choice who wants to study outside the city, he really wants to feel the time - college and become a boarding child, he said, but the mother did not want to let go of her daughter's child. She refused and did not allow Caramel to study outside the city. She suggested that Caramel study at a campus near her home. Ah, what - what the fuck, time' yes from Kindergarten to college in the same city, once he wanted to feel out of town. But Mother insisted on rejecting him, because Mother was very worried about her daughter, how she could live alone there, how she could eat later, how she went back to her campus, and how she went back to school, how she takes care of herself, all of which is considered by Mother. But Caramel felt sad and sorry for himself because he could not feel the way his friends felt. They planned everything together. Caramel's rebellious soul appears, because Caramel's age is the age at which they begin to rebel. However, Caramel was devastated by the tears of his mother's tears, because he could not release his daughter away from him. Caramel also realized that whatever he did if without the blessing of his mother it will not succeed without the blessing and ridho of the Mother, his paradise. So Caramel also undo all his wishes, even his mind - the mind at that time who wanted to become a doctor or other medical workforce. And now he only graduated from High School because he did not want to continue college, even though both parents forced him to go to college. He felt lazy because his college was not by his own choice, and it was also one of Caramel's rebellious attitude towards his parents, who without him knowing it had now become a boomerang for him. He lost because he did not go to college, because of his rebellious and selfish attitude. Until one morning, the day after graduation, he went to look for a job even though his diploma had not yet come out. Her mother pleaded with Caramel not to find a job first, because her parents could still provide for her, and I hope Caramel rests first so that her mind is calm first and can go to college again later. But again - again he refused it on the grounds that he could not be unemployed because it is not good if unemployed at home. Though that was just the reason, in fact he revolted in this way, so that his parents agreed to go to college outside the city. And she begged Mom to grant her wish. Finally, she let her daughter down and granted her wish, allowing Caramel to find work, but not to study outside the city. And beyond Caramel's expectations, he was immediately accepted to work in a position that was not a beginner according to others, resulting in the envy of his colleagues.
Caramel was so shocked to find out that she was accepted to work that she had not even received a diploma, but she was also confused because she actually did not really want to work, really wanted to work, actually he only wanted to show his parents if he was not accepted to work because he was only a High School graduate. But what is this? Why he got accepted to work and even placed in a position that is not for beginners. Yes indeed at the time of the test he did a series of tests and interviews and the results were satisfactory both orally and in writing. They told me that Caramel's test score was perfect.
Well, so confused about him. Intentions only want to rebel, but now he really accepted work. How else, he finally got into his own trap. From here he realized that the blessing and ridho of parents are very instrumental, especially the blessing and ridho of a mother.
Returning to the present where a Caramel must face reality, where he becomes the target of his colleagues. As a target material bet colleagues - coworkers, and be the target of envy and satire from colleagues - coworkers girls at work. Ah, it felt dizzy to arrive Caramel's head. Morning is the burden of his mind.
