Handsome Chef Heart Enthusiasts
Chapter VI (Augusta Wimala)

08.00

I've been standing by at the Mi Bancir stall. I arrived earlier than the employee. You want to check and think about what is less than this shop. 

This stall has 10 employees. 3 in the cooking section in the kitchen, 2 waiters, 2 cashiers, 2 couriers and 1 social media admin. I remember there was no manager here to manage it all.

Suddenly Hartini, social media admin came.

"Hartini, what a coincidence you've come."

"Yes, Sir. What's up, huh?"

"Please make a banner job vacancy position manager and post on sosmed Mi Bancir yes."

"What are the terms and conditions, sir?"

"Write a minimum SMK majoring in Catering, creative, honest, responsible, can work with deadlines and teams."

"Okay, Sir. Ready."

Suddenly my stomach was hungry. Remember that you have not had breakfast at home. I looked across to the cafe. It's open. Only the employees came. Eating there is good, right? Try a new menu at Cafe Naura.

***

The eyes of the Naura employees did not blink when they saw my arrival. 

"Hallo, Mommy. Is the food here ready?"

"Room, Chef. Geez, did not expect the first customer turned out to be Chef Agus. Dreaming what could last night meet directly pian opponents? It's more beautiful than on television."

"Ah, I can. Oh yes, I ordered a menu with tamarind patin berimpunam. Any?"

"She, Chef. Wait a minute."

"Mom, wait." I held him off before he went into the kitchen. 

He stopped the step. "What else is it, Chef? Want an extra menu?"

"You want, as long as you work here, what do you think Chef Naura is?"

The employee looked at me in wonder while scratching his head. "Where is it? He's like a boss in general. Chatty, likes to say if the employee is wrong, but he is very good. Every employee needs money to lend without interest."

"Oh that, thanks for the info."

"I want it again, at this hour when Chef Naura hasn't come yet?"

"Usually Boss Naura comes at ten o'clock and up. Shop in the morning or help your mother cook first. My mom opened a caterer, too."

"Oh, that's it."

"Are there any more Chefs I can help?"

"That's enough."

He went to the kitchen to prepare my menu.

I smile to myself. It turns out that the heart is not wrong to love Naura.

***

After eating Naura's cooking, I returned to work. I opened the email, looked at the CV of applicants who will work in this shop. However, the top emails caught my attention. Email from Naura. He sent me a job application here. Long live him. New dibatinin uh appeared.

My question is, why does he work here? Doesn't he have his own cafe? Is there a hidden intention? I was confused, between accepting or rejecting his proposal.

Suddenly Zaini passed by. The idea came up for kepo to Zaini. All I know is that Zaini is dating Athiyah, Naura's manager. Who knows Zaini got interesting information from her boyfriend. 

"Zaini, wait!"

Zaini's steps stopped. "Yes, Brother. What's up, huh?"

"Can I get something?"

"What kind of a head?"

"You know what's the reason Naura applied for a job here?"

Zaini scratched her head. "Huh? So Naura's been following up on sending job applications here?" 

I snorted annoyed. It turns out he's back. "Well, why go back? You're Naura's best friend's boyfriend. Doesn't your boyfriend tell you his boss is applying for a job here?"

"No. He hasn't said anything yet. Does he not know yet? I'll ask you later."

Zaini resigns and returns to work.

Ting!

There is a Whatsapp message. From the former manager who now decided to do the culinary business as well.

Hello, Agus. Not busy? Gini, I want to invite you to come to the grand opening of the Coffee Promise of Love today at 17:00. Can it?

I replied to his message.

God willing. I try to come. Success yes, Bro's coffee business. 

I closed my laptop and got ready to go home. Because it's only two hours away to the Grand Opening Coffee event my former manager.

...***...

The atmosphere of the Promise of Love Coffee is delicious as well. The place is clean, cute decorations filled with Lavender Flower wallpaper, air-conditioned, fragrant lavender therapy aroma and the most cooling there is WiFi. Make young people hang out here.

"Hey, Bro. Thanks for coming."

"Either. Thanks for the invitation too. The coffee is saucy. Make me feel at home hanging out here."

"Ah, could you. I went there first. If you want coffee, just pesen there." My former manager appointed the bartender. 

"Surely."

After we had a stale conversation, my former manager greeted the other guests again.

Among the many visitors here, there are 1 person who looks familiar in my eyes. I try to close my eyes to make sure. That's Rafly, isn't it?

I used to be before participating in the ICI competition for a lecture on gourmet in Malang. Even now I still go back to that campus. I was asked to teach there. Well, in Malang I know Rafly who turns out to be the brother of my student.

Rather than me bete here, it's good to say hello to Rafly. I walk towards him.

"Hey, you're Rafly, right?"

He turned his body. "Chef Agus? How are you?"

"Good God."

"You and Caca how are you? What are you doing here?"

"Good glass. I'm on vacation to Auntie's house and get some work experience. Uh, told Aunt to work at her son's cafe."

"Oh, means stay here dong? Where's where?"

"Martapura. But work here on deket."

"Huh? Where's where? Who knows if you can go to work."

"Naura Cafe."

"So that Naura..." 

"Yup, he's my cousin."

My eyes were shocked. So Naura's Rafly's cousin? Oh, dearGod. Is this how narrow the world is? But one side I am happy. That way I can find out information about Naura through Rafly.

"Raf, can I ask you something about Naura?" 

"What do you want, bro?"

"You know Naura's applying to be a manager at my Bancir noodle shop?"

"Or dong. Yesterday he said. That's why I was asked to be interim CEO."

"Well, you know why I'm applying to be a manager at my shop?"

"He wants to add experience. Actually I don't believe. I think there's a shrimp behind the bakwan. Logically, in already have their own cafe, why should I apply to be subordinate in other people's food stalls? Moreover, the stall mi bancirmu menu almost the same. 

My brother doesn't believe me, let alone me. 

"Well, that's what makes me confused about what to do. Do you think it's good for Naura to accept it or not?"

"Thank you anyway. With that we know what purpose Naura joined in the warung mi bancirmu. If you know the purpose of Naura, don't forget the spoiler to me. "

Rafly's words just made me know what decision to make.
