All the cafe staff are ready to go home. Two more waiters are busy cleaning up. Naura is counting money today. While I again sat in front waiting for the invitation of the future husband. Since Naura already knows, so not backstreet anymore.
I told you a little about my future husband. His name is Ahmad Zaini. He is still a Martapura. Same with. We know him for meeting at the Promise of Soul Coffee a year ago. We are both coffee lovers. Since that meeting, we have met more and more accidentally in other coffee shops.
From an accidental meeting. Continue to chat often. Last month he came home to propose to me. Yeah, I got dong. I feel like I'm talking to him. Especially when it comes to coffee. The reason why the backstreet of Naura, when he's an old friend, boss and neighbor as well, because he's a nauzubillah bucket. Fear one village will know that I am being proposed. I want to tell people when there is a date ijab qobul.
Tinn!
The horn sound of the Zaini motor was heard. He finally came too.
"Sorry, wait a long time. It had to be done with the stall first."
"Yes, papa cada. Ulun gin new luck settled-beret. Naura, Surasilulu's bulik, " (Yes, that's okay. I just cleaned up too. Naura, I'm going home first." I said.
"Hadakani (wait) first!" naura shouted from inside the cafe.
Naura's shout made me undo the intention of riding the Zaini motorbike. Suddenly Naura appeared. "Why come home? The work is done."
"There's something you don't use wan girlfriend's life." (There's something I want to ask your boyfriend.)
"What's up, brother?"
Zaini is a Martapura. Origin Grandpa Grandma. He was born and raised in Jakarta. Return to Martapura because there are financial problems in Jakarta. He came home about five years ago. So the everyday language he uses is still Indonesian. However, he understands Banjar. The guy said his tongue was still mute to say Banjar language.
"How long has Chef Agusta worked together?"
"Just two years. Originally placed in Banjarmasin Branch. Uh, transferred to Banjarbaru."
"The position of life (you) in the warung mi bancir what?"
"Food delivery boy."
Honestly, I don't like Naura to be impressed by interrogating my future husband's job. What does it mean try?
"Means often enter the kitchen to take food dong huh? The life (you) know, recipe Mi Bancir Chef Agusta?"
Now I understand the tip of Naura's plan. He wants to know behind the kitchen of Chef Agusta's wanker. I hope the future husband does not slip. Although I only knew a year, but I knew enough that Zaini was originally plain and very thin.
"Waduh, if that's the case, I'll ask the chef part of the restaurant. My job is to go to the kitchen, just get some food."
"Yes that. Munnya kada knows. Unda bulik badahulu aja," (I don't know. I went home first.) Naura said with pouting lips.
I giggled inwardly at Naura's annoyed expression that didn't manage to get any info from my future husband.
...***...
Before returning home, Zaini and I stopped by Soul Promise Coffee first. I don't drink coffee a day with a headache. His addiction. No coffee today.
My favorite coffee here is pandan coffee while Zaini's favorite Latte avocado.
"Athiyah, from the first meeting with the boss ikam tu why do not you feel sreg? The effect he really wants to know about the kitchen affairs of others. How can I stand the cooperation of people like Naura?"
I giggle. "Naura is like that. Kepoan, leatherworker, barber, rese, but he's really nice. Not stingy to give cash to employees who again need money. Not to mention if the cafe rame, all employees get double the bonus."
"Pantes aja ikam (you) at home there. There's a bonus."
"It's not that at all. Naura has been my best friend for a long time. I still have a debt of gratitude to the Naura family so yes at home working there. Elsewhere is not necessarily as comfortable as Naura's cooperation, right?"
No human being is perfect. Although I do not like the ugly nature of Naura, but Naura is still more good.
"Luckily pian (you) was kada (not) keceplosan about the recipe Mi Bancir Chef Agus."
"I honestly don't know the recipe. Even if I knew, I couldn't possibly divulge the secrets of the company I worked for. Could be fired. Working hard. Moreover, I'm focused on collecting the cost of our wedding."
I smiled when I heard Zaini's last words.
Suddenly the employees of the Promise of Soul Coffee approached us. "Excuse me, Brother. The Promise of Soul's coffee will soon be closed."
Dih, employees of the Promise of Soul Coffee is insensitive and can not see me romantic a little with Zaini.
"Oh yes, Ma'am. Five minutes to go."
Next, Zaini and I hurriedly finished the coffee.
...***...
My position at the cafe is manager. One of my duties should be to plan the menu. However, Naura burdened me with the additional task of shopping to the market. Let Naura stay cooking. The boss of one was the least willing to go to the market he said muddle, jengkol smell and salted fish. He's the most anti-same of those two things.
Here I am now. Before going to the cafe I went to Martapura Market first. The shopping is done. I looked back at the shopping cart once again. Afraid someone might miss. Berabe diomelin Naura. He was told to go back to the market.
Chicken, seasoning soto Banjar, onion, garlic and all kinds of ingredients for the menu in the cafe already exist. I breathe a sigh of relief everyone has bought. To go home means.
"Oi, beapa pian (you know) here?"
"Ading (fuck) my cousin wants a birthday. So buy him a toy."
"Oh."
I'm beroh ria.
I saw the toys he bought were rats and cockroaches. I get suspicious, birthday present for cousin sister like that? Is it possible to do that little brother?

Zaini
Not busy anymore? Klo is not busy, we have lunch with yuk. I found a new coffee shop. Said good friends.
I immediately replied to him.
Whoa, that's right. I crave coffee again. Am I across or are you picking me up here?
He retorted again.
You're just there. Let me pick you up.
I smile myself reading Whatsapp from Zaini. Because Zaini used to speak Indonesian, I also spoke Indonesian with her. I glanced at the clock attached to the corner of the cafe wall. Five minutes to lunch. I'll pack first.
Suddenly Naura was next to me. "Athiyah, andak (want) extra money kada (no)?"
My forehead wrinkled. No wind no rainstorm, Naura know-how offers extra money. All I know during his reign, his neighbors and his cooperation, he was stingy nauzubillah. There must be a certain mode.
"Depending, the additional money is halal or haram. If it is halal, who is it? If haram mah amit-amit jabang baby receives it."
"If helping friends, neighbors and bosses can be a reward, right? Mean money from helping it halal dong?"
I can already guess the direction of his giving. Must be asking for some weird help. "Here you go, let's talk. You (want) to ask for help what is (sih)?"
"Outfield." (wait)
Naura opened her handbag. He handed over two toys he had bought at the market. I was surprised, what was it given to me?
"Mun lives find (if you meet) girlfriend to the shop next door please andak (bet) these two items in the kitchen. If necessary put it into a pot containing food menu."
Instantly I stroked the chest. Suspicion proved. The toy he bought was not for his cousin's birthday. Except for bringing down Chef Agusta. "Astagfirullah. Ulun tau pian is still upset wan Chef Agus gegara elimination. Be upset, but not so much. Sin tau. You (want) hear the Quran or its hadith?"
"Udah kada (not) try to talk. Fajr earlier unda (me) had watched the Jamaah oh Jamaah event. About the sins of Kaina unda (later me). Do you want to do what you ask?"
"Jilk. Kaina ulun (later me) try to do what pian (you) pinta."
I really don't like what Naura does. However, I could not refuse his request. My family owes a debt of gratitude to the Naura family. His brother once paid off my brother's considerable debt. At least I won't do what he asks. Just a little lie that these two items have been placed in the kitchen of the Mi Bancir Chef Agusta stall.
