A waiters who previously delivered customer orders turned to the visitors who had just entered, namely Elena and Elise. Her eyes widened instantly when he saw Elena.
"Elena!" Shouted the waiters named Merina. And walked quickly towards Elena's place. Merina's scream made Elena turn her head and stare at the young woman. And immediately they both hugged tightly. They haven't seen each other for almost a year, making Elena miss Merina. A student who works part time here.
"Elena, I miss you. Why are you coming here only now?" Merina asked after releasing their arms. She watched Elena from top to bottom and vice versa. Elena is now much prettier and more mature than before. And currently women are wearing flower dresses which make her even more beautiful.
"You is getting prettier."
"And you've grown, no longer our little girl." Elena replied, who was also observing Merina.
"Of course. So don't call me little girl anymore." Said Merina proudly. Elena smiled and turned to her right side. A woman walks towards her.
"Long time no see, Elena." Said the woman who hugged Elena when she was near Elena. She is Evelyn, a single mother who works as a cashier here. Elena has always been in awe of Evelyn who survived and struggled alone to raise her daughter.
"Yes, long time no see." Elena replied.
"I was very surprised when I heard Shelina say you stopped working." Evelyn said immediately when releasing their arms. Shelina is the boss and owner of this Cafe.
"Especially when Shelina said that you stopped working because you were pregnant."
"Ah that." Elena has difficulty speaking. She was confused about how to answer. Because at that time she really had to stop because of her pregnancy which was getting bigger and Brian's insistence that she just stay home.
"I know how hard it is to work when you are pregnant. But at least you have to come here every now and then. Why did you come to visit just now?" Evelyn asked, slightly irritated.
"Sorry, there are so many things that happened that only now have I come here."
"Ah is this your son?" Evelyn didn't wait for Elena's answer as she ducked beside Merina to look at Dean.
"Elena, what's his name?" Asked Merina, who teased Dean by gently pinching his chubby cheeks.
"His name is Dean." Elena explained. Elise, who had been there earlier, was just silent watching the reunion. She was already sitting and smiling seeing Dean who was quite enthusiastic about seeing Evelyn and Merina.
Evelyn slowly took Dean out of the stoller and carried him.
"Geez. Dean is so handsome."
"Yes, and very cute." Merina continued.
"Only his lips look like Elena." Said Evelyn who watched Dean's handsome face.
"Ah right, but why doesn't Dean look like Diego?" Asked Merina with her innocent look towards Elena.
The question made everyone speechless. Elena really didn't know what to answer. Because Dean is not Diego's son. And must she say that Dean is the son of her twin sister husband, Elise.
Seeing the awkwardness and silence of Elena made Evelyn come to her senses. That something is wrong and is being kept secret by Elena. And Evelyn understood that Elena couldn't tell them that.
"Ah yes, Shelina is in the office. Merina, hurry up and call her here." Evelyn said immediately which made Merina smile broadly and forgot her question that had not yet been answered.
"Yes, the boss must be happy to see you. I'll go first." Without waiting any longer, Merina left. Merina's departure made Elena sigh with relief. And looked at Evelyn intensely.
"I'm sure a lot has happened to you during this year. And you don't have to explain or tell anything if you can't tell us." Said Evelyn maturely. She could clearly see Elena's change. And that change cannot be obtained with just a little trial. There must be many things that have happened so that Elena is now much more mature than before.
"Yes, I still need time to tell you everything. But one thing I can tell you. Dean is not Diego's son." Elena's words made Evelyn nod in understanding.
Evelyn realized that too. Dean's face was very different from Diego's. And there are very few similarities to Elena. It turned out that Dean was not Diego's son. And the handsome baby looks a lot more like his father. Yes, even though Evelyn doesn't know who that man is. But looking at Dean who is so handsome, Evelyn is sure that man must be handsome too. Evelyn is actually very curious and wants to ask if Elena is married? then what about Diego? But she had to understand that Elena didn't want to talk to her yet.
So Evelyn chose to put that aside and looked at Elise.
"Hello, nice to see you again." Say hello to Evelyn to Elise. She had met Elise before, the first time she came here to meet Elena.
"Yes, nice to see you again." Elise replied with a big smile.
"Oh yes, what do you want to order?" Evelyn asked, pointing out the menu book on the table. Ask Elise and Elena to see and order a cake or a drink.
Elena sat opposite Elise and looked at the menu book. There are many new cakes on the menu. And also a variety of hot and cold drinks.
"Woah, there are more and many menus. And all these cookies look great." Ucao Elena who kept turning the pages.
"Yes, I'm also confused about which cookies to order." Elise replied.
The still-standing Evelyn smiled broadly. Dean is still in her arms. And the handsome baby is trying to grab Evelyn's hair.
"Sure, ever since you stopped working. Shelina looked for another Petissier to become the main chef at the Cafe. And thanks to Marcus' help, we got a Patissier who is no less great than you." Said Evelyn explained. Marcus is Shelina's husband. Thanks to his help, an expert Patissier is willing to work at this Cafe. Plus the new Patissier is a handsome man who is single.
