"What do you want to say?" asked Fariz looking at Aaric.
"I want to ask for help." Aaric looked at Fariz seriously.
"What?"
"I want you to replace Kia, with a restaurant."
The frown on Fariz's forehead grew sharper as he looked at Aaric, he did not understand the intent of the man before him.
"Why should it be replaced, is not the restaurant already the responsibility of Kia."
"Yes indeed, but at the moment Kia is unlikely to continue to take care of the problems there, she has to take a lot of breaks —"
"Have you been sick?" tanya Fariz cut Aaric's words.
"She's not sick, but now she's pregnant again, so I want her to take a break during her pregnancy, like Melody was when she was pregnant" Aaric said, "Now no one can be trusted to supervise the restaurant, because the confidants of Mama and grandfather used to, are no longer working" continued Aaric again.
"You, you know, my legs haven't fully recovered I —"
"You take it easy, later in the restaurant you just need to sit down sweetly, receive a report from the clerk there." Aaric quickly cut Fariz's words, as if receiving no rebuttal from the man.
"If it's like that, why don't you take care of it" said Fariz, who was increasingly surprised.
"I will not be able to, my work in the office has been very much," said Aaric in a weak tone, like a person who was thinking a lot.
"Alright I'll take care of the restaurant, but I'll ask Papa for permission first" Fariz said resignedly.
"You don't need to ask permission, I've talked about it before" said Aaric with a difficult-to-understand facial expression.
Fariz felt that there was another intention from the man in front of her, why Aaric forced her to take care of the restaurant, but she immediately dismissed her doubts about Aaric.
"Well, when should I start going to the restaurant, then,?"
"Tomorrow" said Aaric.
Fariz nodded his head obediently, while Aaric smiled mysteriously without Fariz noticing.
...*****...
The next day, Fariz went straight to Aaric's restaurant, his grandfather's father's estate.
The car that carried him had now reached the front of the restaurant that he would start taking care of for a while, he was staring at the restaurant that was quite crowded by visitors carefully.
"Den, it's here" said the driver whom Aaric ordered to pick her up
Fariz nodded and started to get out of the car, not forgetting the cane that was his tool, his legs were better, only, he could not walk normally.
"Do I want to take you inside?" the driver was answered by Fariz.
"Alright, I'm sorry to go home first Sir, later when I go home I pick up again" said the driver.
Fariz nodded, and the driver immediately re-running the car slowly began to move away from Fariz.
The man, starting to bring himself to enter the restaurant, the sound of the knocking of the cane being the accompaniment of his careful steps, he watched every corner of the restaurant closely.
He rarely went there, counting only a few times, he set foot in the restaurant where his late grandfather Aaric lived.
Alish did not want the restaurant to close or stop operating, because the restaurant was the legacy of his father, like the house he still guarded, all the relics of Aaric's grandfather, he said, he is still taking good care of it to this day.
"Sorry, have you made an appointment or want to order a table, there are still many empty tables?" asked one of the servants who was none other than Rini.
He saw Fariz, who was silent at the door as if he was looking for something, and finally tried to approach him and ask.
Fariz stared at Rini at a glance, then looked back around her, intending to look for the whereabouts of his brother's wife.
"Mas," called Rini out of astonishment at Fariz's behavior.
Fariz reached into his pants pocket, he then typed something and showed the writing on his phone to Rini.
Where is Kia?
"Riz, you've come, why not just go straight to the room?" A voice from behind Rini cut off the woman's speech.
Fariz spoke sign language to Kia and Kia only nodded in understanding.
"Let's go straight to the room, I want to tell you a few things" Kia said.
Fariz nodded and began to step away leaving Rini still standing at the door, staring in surprise at the two people who had already walked away from the place.
Just like the people Fariz had met before, if he also considered Fariz a mute person.
"Hey! Why dumbly," said Ami while patting Rini's shoulder until she gasped in shock.
He had just returned from the toilet, but when he was about to return to his job, he was astonished to see his friend standing at the door, daydreaming.
"Ish, you just want to," said Rini looking at Ami and stroking her chest.
"Some of you are doing dumb shit here."
"So there's a guy who's nyari Bu Kia, but the guy's weird," Rini's story has begun to walk towards the cashier's desk.
"How weird?" ask Ami wonder.
Just now Rini was going to tell a story, but a wave from visitors, made Rini undo her intentions and went to see the customer, while Ami did not bother about what they discussed earlier and continued her work.
Meanwhile, inside the room previously occupied by Kia, Fariz and Kia were now sitting opposite each other on the sofa.
"This is a report on the expenditure and income of this restaurant for the last few months and all about this restaurant is here... oh yes from tomorrow I will not be here again."
"Why so fast?" Fariz looked at him in wonder.
"Because here you are, so what else am I here for" said Kia accompanied by oddity.
"You take it easy, I'm sure you'll feel at home working here" continued Kia, making Fariz who had originally started checking some papers instantly turn his attention to him.
"What is important is that I feel at home or not" Fariz murmured clearly to Kia with her eyes refocused on the paper in her hand.
"You should be at home Riz, because you are here for a long time, maybe later after I give birth I will not be able to directly take care of the problems here anymore" explained Kia.
"There's Aaric, he can definitely take care of the problem here as well" Fariz said without looking at Kia.
"Yes, I want to go out first yes, go to the kitchen," said Kia who had started to move from her seat, without even hearing Fariz's previous words.
Fariz responded with a nod of his head, Kia came out of the room on the second floor of the place, she went downstairs using a special elevator for her.
"Mi, I want to talk" Kia told Ami who is currently at the cashier's desk.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" ami asked in a friendly manner and looked at him.
"From tomorrow I won't come here."
"Why Mom?"
"I have to rest because thank God I am pregnant right now."
"Well, congratulations ma'am, pregnant with the second child, right ma'am?"
"Yes." Yeah." She smiled at Ami.
"Keep if you're not here who's monitoring here? Is there anyone that Bu Kia trusts to take care of matters here?" ask Ami.
"Yes, for that matter, there's my husband's brother who will take care of the problem here, there's only one problem."
"What's the matter, ma'am?" asked Ami curiously.
