Macchiato
"One americano."
"Name please." she said as she smiled to the girl.
"It's Nikka."
"Nikka's americano in a jiffy." she said as she wrote N-i-k-k-a on the plastic cup.

Days passed and it was the 24th of March. She was getting busier because summer's coming so that technically means more customers.
"Two macchiato, please."
"For whom?"
"Jasha and Elmo."
She smiled as she heard the name. No, not the girl's name. The guy's. It was very unusual someone having a name of a muppet and this is her first time hearing someone having it.
"And add one blue berry cheesecake." the girl added.
"Two macchiato and one blue berry cheesecake for Jasha and Elmo in five minutes."

It's late in the afternoon and there are only few customers inside the cafe. The weather outside is scorching, good thing the cafe was air-conditioned.
"Macchiato for two."
"Names please."
"Lily and Elmo."
She creased her forehead as she heard the name again. She just can't recall where and when.
The perks of hearing hundreds name a day.
"Uh. Okay." she said giving emphasis to 'k'.

It was already 5 in the evening and the shop will close in an hour when she saw someone entered. She's been busy the whole day so she don't know who entered and left.
"Two macchiato, please."
She raised her right brow privately when the girl said two.
Wala naman siyang kasama ah.
She shrugged the thought off. Maybe she's meeting with someone.
"Names?"
"Nikki and Elmo."
The creased in her forehead doubled as she heard the name again. She pouted her lips as she recall where and when she heard that name and the two girls a while ago flashed in her mind. Two, and then another one now.
Wow. Three girls in a day. That muppet is surely a jerk.
