99 Love for You
99CU(S2): Dating in Rangga (2)

Finally, after tracing the streets of the city for approximately 45 minutes, Rangga and Cecilia arrived at a place that was familiar to both of them.

"Cyl? Wake up!! It's over."

Cecilia had fallen asleep because it was not strong enough to withstand drowsiness. And now it's ten in the night.

"Hooaaamm! Have we arrived yet? Sorry I fell asleep."

Cecilia rubbed her eyes to regain consciousness into the real world.

"Where are we?" tanyakanya.

"You know where this is." Rangga smiled.

"It right? AJ Foods Factory? Why are we here?" Cecilia was still unaware of what was happening.

"I really want to bring you here. Come inside!" Rangga grabbed Cecilia's fingers and brought her inside the factory.

The factory is deserted. All the workers have gone home. Except for some night guards who are always ready to keep the factory safe.

AJ Foods has a separate production plant from the operational and marketing office building. Because it used to be the capital owned by Pak Adi aka Papanya Rangga not as much as it is now. Assembling the rightful owners is not as easy as imagined.

Be Mr. Adi buy land little by little to build his business. Until finally it can have some branches like now. All through sweat and relentless hard work.

"What are we gonna do here?"

"Of course it's dating."

"Dating? In here?"

"Yes. Let's go to the kitchen!" Rangga brought Cecil to the kitchen of the factory.

"Did you know? What's our flagship product right now?" ask Rangga like a boss who is testing his employees.

"Current flagship product? Frozen food?"

"Yep, that's right. And you know who gave me that idea for the first time?"

"Who?"

"I. You know why? Because when I was living in America, I saw people there every day being chased by time. And sometimes they often miss their meal because they are so busy. From there, I wanted to create practical but still nutritious food. By making this frozen food. There are some practical menus that we can eat even though we are busy working."

Rangga took some food. "Did you know that I'm trying so hard to make my own healthy diet? I developed several menus until it finally became our frozen food mainstay menu."

Cecilia listened carefully. He was amazed by all the things that Rangga explained.

"So, now we're going to try to make it. I mean, i. I'll make it for you." Rangga took a cooking apron or apron and put it on.

"What's? What are you gonna do?" Cecilia was surprised to see Rangga's appearance by wearing an apron. His appearance is more charming like a chef.

"Your favorite food."

"You serious? Can you cook?"

"Ssthat!! No comment before it's all done."

Cecilia laughed at Rangga's behavior. He does not believe that his lover is the person behind AJ Foods' flagship product ideas. He was proud of Rangga. There are so many unexpected things inside Rangga. During this time, Cecil had completely misjudged Rangga.

*Some minutes later,

"No!!! It's so. Tuna pizza sausage mozarella is special for my love, Cecilia."

"Wow! Thank you, Rangga. It looks so good. From the smell it's predictable if it's gonna be good."

"Yes. I really didn't expect. Can I try it?"

"Of course I can. I made it special for you."

"Thank you very much. I'm so moved." Cecilia hugged Rangga.

"Let's eat."

"Mmm, this is so good. You're great! I spent it."

"just spend! I'm glad you like it."

"I like it so much." Cecilia smiled with her mouth full of pizza.

"I learned a lot from my mom..."

"Eh? Mama?"

Instantly the atmosphere was silent. Cecilia was jolted because Rangga suddenly mentioned about her mother. He had already received a warning from Amel not to discuss the matter of Rangga's family.

There was a hint of sadness in Rangga's eyes. "I... I don't have many memories with my mom. But... I always remember when he taught me how to cook."

Cecilia stopped chewing her food.

"Papa built this business, because my mother always encouraged him. And Mama always gave Papa an idea. Because mom loves to cook, that's why she came up with the idea of making a food business."

"The ladder if you don't want to tell it then---"

"No, Cil. It's time you found out about my family."

".........."

"Mama left home when I was 12. That's when I knew, Mama left because there was Aunt Sandra who came into our lives. She was pregnant when she came to our house. All I know is that Papa married her without Mama's knowledge. So Mama got angry and left."

"........" Cecilia held onto Rangga's shoulder.

"But... After I started growing up. I started thinking, why didn't Mama take me? Why did he just go alone? Whatever your heart hurts, she should remember that she has me. His son. He doesn't have to feel alone. But I don't think Mama wants me to go with her. Hence, from then on, I started forgetting Mama, and spilled all the blame on Aunt Sandra. I hated him until now. He ruined my family's happiness."

"Ladders...."

"Although I hate her, but I can't hate Sheila. He's my brother. And he's innocent. I loved him very much, and always protected him. I don't want people to know about Sheila. I'm afraid people will blaspheme him."

"Do you know where your mom is now?"

"No. I don't care about him either. Why do I know where he is now?"

"Don't do that. You never know what your mom is feeling. Who knows, somewhere in the world, he is the one who always prays for you. Until you can succeed as you are now."

"Decandize me? Just be right. How can a mother leave her child? Even after 20 years had passed, he never once appeared in front of me."

".........."

"sorry. I'm making you sad."

"No. That's what we have for a couple. We can tell our partners anything, share their likes and sorrows. I'm glad you trust me."

"Thank you for listening to my story. Our date... So it's broken."

"No. Who said it was broken? I am happy with this date. And I'm happy too.. Stifling... From now... Don't keep it alone. Share with me. I'm right here..."

"Thank you, Cecilia. Iloveyou..." She hugged Cecilia.

"I love you too... "
