A gentle knock rang out from the door of my study at the royal central hospital that afternoon.
“Kak Opal,” a sweet voice that I already knew greeted me, Platina.
The girl raised her head slightly at the door but did not dare to enter the room. She gave me her sweet smile like an angel.
In the past few days, Platina had always come to me at the same place and hour, in my study at the hospital, just before the end of my afternoon shift. Shortly before I could finally get home from this hospital. Forgetting my duties as a doctor and returning to being an Opal Sumeragi.
Then why is he doing this? Just to consult about the lunch menu that will be made by him and Saphir for us. For me, Jasper, Diamond and Zircon who train together every day from morning until afternoon.
Immediately I turned off my hologram computer and approached the girl. For some reason lately I've been looking forward to her coming, my heart is blossoming and there's a strange sigh in my chest every time this girl shows up at my door.
As the name implies, Platina has a clean glowing white skin combined with her pale hair that is allowed to decompose like a wave on her back.
Unlike Saphir, platinum is a calm, feminine, meek and slightly spoiled girl. Understandably as an only child of course he was very spoiled by Aunt Emerald and uncle Euclase. To be sure she is a very sweet girl and like a coolant dew for my complicated thoughts about our ‘mission impossible’.
“Why not just go in? No need to wait too long for me to open the door.” Keep the door for him and let him in.
“It's okay, Tina is afraid to disturb Kak Opal” replied calmly, making me even more anxious to see him.
“Ehm this...,” with a little hesitation and timidly placed a parcel on my desk.
“Kakak haven't eaten yet right?...Er, this is my cooking. If you don't mind please try.” Continue with a very sweet smile.
A sweet smile that can make any normal man will not be able to resist.
But not for me! Not that I'm an abnormal man, but because I know very well what the results and taste of Platina cuisine is like...Severer. Can't be eaten.
“How about we take a walk? I know where the cafe sells good food. Will you accompany me?” I tried to subtly refuse.
Platina just silently did not react as she continued to stare at the package with a difficult gaze to interpret. It still seems like I want to eat tau just taste it.
“Your cooking results let me take it home and eat it later at home,” talk me to him. Though until the house clearly must be secured in the trash can.
“Taste a little before leaving,” the door in a hearty and sad tone.
The girl began struggling to open the package without me preventing it. Soon he handed me a plate of shapeless and blackish-colored crushed food.
I was shocked, not because the food was destroyed in front of me (it could be even worse).
But even more so because of the shock of seeing the ten fingers that carried him clad in plaster! I don't know why it feels like my chest is tight and my heart hurts like I've been slashed to see it.
I finally collapsed and gave up on him. I extended my hand to receive the food plate with a wide smile spread.
I tried to eat that cooking. Each bribe I get in one swallow while occasionally closing my eyes to disguise the taste that is not bad.
However, as the daughter of a minister, Platina had never set foot in the kitchen before. The lesson menu he got was also not much different from us men.
If now he wants to work hard to learn to cook until all his fingers are injured so also for our sake, his brothers. We who never want to appreciate his efforts, even tend to insult and underestimate the results of his cooking.
“How?..” Platina looked at me expectantly and her eyes twinkled. Perhaps he was astonished by how greedy I was to eat. Maybe he thinks I'm eating voraciously because of his cooking.
“Better than the previous one,” answered I tried to entertain as smooth as possible but also not too lying.
Curse both fingers, I checked the wounds on the fingers and I stared fixedly at his face. There was a strange tremor in my chest when I found her eyes clear, I wanted to protect her! Don't want him hurt anymore!
“What, this minor injury is not comparable to the heavy exercise you have to undergo every day... Me, Saphir and I just want to help as much as we can.”.
“But it doesn't need to be like this either, right?” Urge him.
“If you want to learn to cook that ‘aman’ come home. Brother Amethys will definitely not mind teaching you..”.
“Always Brother Amethys!” Suddenly Platina's tone of voice rose to hear my sister's name called.
“Whatever we do Kak Amethys must be better than us. Just tell me that the cuisine is better than mine!”
“Of course, Kak Amethys' cuisine is already in the class of a palace chef,” answered me trying to melt the atmosphere.
“Not to be ashamed or envious, everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages..”.
“He's perfect! He can do everything perfectly! Never done anything wrong.” protest Platina.
“You men also always respond to his whereabouts. She is with her beauty, her intelligence and all her perfection. He was always the center of attention. Unlike me and Saphir who are always ignored and considered as useless little children by all of you.”
“Gosh! Not a single thought was stirred up in our minds. You two also have their own meaning for us.” Kusap and soft cauldron the top of his head, trying to calm and reassure the girl who was sulking.
“If you are talking about Amethys, you just don't know him yet. He is not a perfect man, but he always strives for the best for everyone...But actually she's just like an ordinary girl."
"Ehm, tomorrow morning you can see for yourself how my brother is. Tomorrow there will be a meeting with all the uncles and aunts in your house, invite Saphir also to attend it..”.
After the awkward atmosphere between us slightly eased, I finished my business in the hospital. Complete my patients' medical records into the computer. As well as giving advice on actions and drugs that must be given to patients who are my responsibility. For their night and morning rations tomorrow.
Platina faithfully waited for me to work patiently. The girl was sitting on the sofa and holovision mononton, a type of three-dimensional television like a hologram screen. Watch about cooking programs that he can either understand or not apply real. Because in fact to really cook is not as easy as looking at the hologram screen so. Tina noted down some of the things the chef said at the event.
"I'm done..." I turned off the computer screen in front of me and tidied up the pile of medical records on my desk.
"All right, let's go home." Platina turned off the power holovision she was watching earlier.
"Go home? Not going to the cafe first?" I offered her a thin date.
"Just right away because I was just allowed to go out for a while with mom." Platinum refused.
Yesampun is a very obedient son of the same mother. Very sweet and adorable. Where there are trying children today who permit out briefly with his mother and really carried out for only a short time out. This girl is so honest and pure untarnished...Platinum.
I finally said it, not wanting to get him into trouble with his parents. I'll take Platina back to her pavilion from the hospital. The two of us immediately drove by my car leaving the hospital complex, down the urban streets and ended up in the palace complex.
Towards a luxurious multi-storey building with its super-sophisticated facilities, the Minister's Pavilion. I was a little sorry for not taking her to the cafe. Should've been a little bit of a joke or I forced the girl to obey.
Maybe next time.
