"Maam, I'll call her aunty now."

"Yes.." Amanda helped Minah prepare dinner.

"Oh, auntie, do you know Adinata's family?"

"How do you know Adinata's family?" Lina was a little surprised because Adinata's family was the most respected family in this village.

"Yes, so yesterday I was given a ride with a guy whose name is Dirga"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, he's a good guy."

"Dirga is the son of the tea plantation owner who is here. he is the boss where i work."

"So, So Dirga has returned from Jakarta?" said Lina excitedly, her eyes sparkled when she talked about Dirga.

"Oh, yes, tomorrow I may not help out in the tea garden, rather than having nothing to do"

"Can you tell the foreman tomorrow, okay?"

"okay auntie but don't forget my name is Adam now huh .."

"Umm, are you amanda? my friends are interested in you, they say you look like a member of a korean boyband The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison. they continued chatting after finishing their dinner.

The sun began to rise from the eastern horizon, the workers began to crowd the expanse of tea plantations to start picking tea leaves, as did Minah, Lina, and Amanda. After getting permission from the foreman. Now Amanda can to start work, she observed the other workers before starting to pick the leaves. At first Amanda was confused which leaf to pick because they all looked the same. Although later it will also be sorted at the factory.

"Adam, are you tired?"

"My legs are quite tired from standing all the time"

"It's okay to take a break first."

"Ah, it's okay, I'm still young like this, I lost to the workers here who are old and old. Im so prestige.. "

After a long time because the sun was getting hotter they started to move from the plantation to deposit their picks. It turned out that the wages they got were daily, Amanda also got wages from the results of her sweat, although it was not much like her pocket money so far, but she was proud that she was able work here no frills big name danujirja behind her name.

While going home Amanda bumped into someone's shoulder because she was too happy to get paid that she didn't see the road.

"Sorry sorry I didn't mean to..."

"Eumm you in here? what was your name yesterday?? aaahh. Adam. Is it true, huh?"

"Oh you Dirga what a coincidence. What are you doing here, you the owner of this plantation right? you should be sitting at home..." Amanda quipped

"I was just jogging and checking the report. What are you doing here yourself?? Going to work?"

"Yes, instead of vacationing at home, I'd rather work to find experience.." said amanda with smiling.

"After this, just come with me, I'll accompany you around!"

"You can, but it doesn't bother you, right?"

"Just calm down anyway.." Dirga enthusiastically wanted to invite his new friend to explore the area owned by Adinata's family.

Lina seemed to see from a distance that Amanda was talking to someone. "That Dirga." she ran after amanda.

"Hey, Adam wait.. uh, Dirga, how are you..???"

"Eumm, you're good, how come you've finished work?"

"You want to go home already."

"Hey, how come you know Adam?"

"Yes, Lina is still my cousin. That's a distant relative..." Amanda interrupted before Lina answered.

"Oh, so yesterday the address you went to was Ms. Minah's house? I know her late husband quite well, I just haven't been to his house so I don't know."

"Lina, I want to be taken around with Dirga, you go home first, okay?"

"Um, can I come with you?" Lina looked at Dirga as if pleading to be allowed to come.

"Of course."

Amanda realized that Lina apparently had an interest in Dirga, from the way she looked at Dirga there was an inexplicable twinkle, and at dinner last night Lina seemed happy to talk about Adinata's family.

Yes, Dirga is in the category of the ideal man, he is handsome with thick eyebrows, a firm jaw with slightly cubby cheeks, with a typical Indonesian face and skin.

Apart from all his physical forms, Dirga is a fairly well-established young man, apart from the shadow of his father who is a tea plantation boss, apparently he has also started helping his father since he started graduating from college, especially now that his father is getting sick because he has hypertension so he shouldn't think too much.

Adam or Amanda, Lina and Dirga walked out of the plantation area, along the way there were mothers and also girls who had just returned from gardening looking at Mera while whispering.

"Now here are 2 super handsome guys!"

"Yes, one skipper and one artist.."

"Uhh, I wonder if I want to be a future son-in-law" one of the mothers said.

"Uh, did you know that it was Lina's brother who came from Jakarta." said one of the girls to her mother apparently she was one of Lina's friends.

They were shocked and couldn't believe it. "They have magics, don't they? The aura is really transmitter and it's dazzling.."

After two weeks of running away from home, Amanda has begun to get used to her new routine in the village. The villagers have also gotten used to the presence of Amanda who disguised herself as Adam the fake boy.

"So the results of this tea plantation are deposited at the factory to be packaged into brewed tea and tea bags?"

"Yes, what else are you trying ..?" Dirga felt strange with Adam's question.

"Yeah, but why not make innovations..? Drinks are made like that, for example, now people prefer drinks that are practical, rather than complicated when brewing tea.."

"It's true, but making a drink like that requires a sophisticated machine and a large factory. After all, there are already many brands of packaged tea drinks."

"I think we can make a sample first, test the market first. I think the taste of this garden tea is different from other teas, this tea smells really good and doesn't make you feel bad, it makes you want to drink and fresher."

"Your idea is good, Adam. How come you can have thoughts like that?? I can't even thinking about it. Just thingking of a tea plantation this wide, I'm already dizzy."

"I'm studying business management, and after I saw the results of this garden, it's a shame that tea is only limited to tea. Nowadays, many people like to drink tea but don't like the hassle, they have to boil water first, turn on the stove, buy sugar. Yes. although the taste of the original brewed tea is indeed more delicious.."

"I don't think a guy like you can see opportunities in an environment. I agree with you, how about we start a business together. You have to help me, okay?"

"Later we can make a proposal and then look for investors so we can make it in large quantities."

"Iam agree with you.." Dirga doing high five with Adam as a sign of the beginning of this collaboration.

After several weeks of struggling with bottled tea experiments, a bottled tea drink was finally created with five variants of Original Tea flavors, low sugar tea, Apple flavored tea, lemon flavored tea and lychee flavored tea.

Amanda who did the research and experiment. Dirga who prepared all the needs and capital. After several tries, Amanda managed to find the right taste and composition after dozens of failures. Now it's just the marketing process. Lina helps to market in shops, stalls and markets.

The result was unexpected. After 1 month on the market, tea drinks labeled "Dia tea" were selling hard enough that Amanda's team had difficulty meeting market demand due to inadequate equipment.

A car seemed to suddenly stop on the side of the road in the outskirts of town B. The driver looked out and checked the car engine after a few minutes of fiddling with the engine the driver told someone in the passenger seat.

"Sorry sir, it looks like the car broke down. We have to find the nearest repair shop. I've called a mechanic but it looks like it will take time for him to arrive. Or do you want me to order a taxi to return to the hotel?"

"Okay while waiting I want to buy a drink first there, you look for a taxi for me!"

The young man seemed to be walking towards the stall near the car to stop taking mineral water, but his eyes looked curious at the bottle containing tea with various flavors. But what's strange is the packaging and labels that seem ordinary and unattractive.

The young man is Arya, the young CEO in the field of packaged drinks and food, a little interested in trying it, Arya took one of these flavor variants and tried it.

"Hmm, the taste is different from my product, it's still original but it tastes interesting." Arya took a sip and assessed the taste of the tea. Unknowingly he had gulped down the contents of the tea bottle.
