As promised, after returning from the Abi residence, Rakan brought Vanila to the Artha Boga building. The company was founded by Dimas and is now managed by Gibran, his third son from Ily. Artha Boga takes care of all the restaurants established by Dimas. The company also oversees the man's ordinance school, including a cooking course in the same building.
Vanilla looked at the building in front of him that was still standing solidly. She did not expect that her favorite chef still had a familial relationship with Irzal, her cousin's husband. Dimas is Poppy's younger brother, Irzal's grandmother. The sound of Rakan's voice led the girl in.
A receptionist threw her smile at Rakan, CEO of Rakan Putra Group who has many fans because of her high quality singles status. He continued towards the elevator which would take him to the ninth floor. Ari's secretary, Gibran, smiled at the arrival of Friend.
“Pak Gibran no?”
“There, please come in.”
Ari opens the door for his superior nephew. He let Friend and Vanilla go inside. Seeing the arrival of Friends, Gibran who was behind his desk immediately woke up and approached his nephew. The 31-year-old hugged her friend.
“Tumben to here,” Gibran said.
“Iya, um. Anyone would like to see.”
“Who?”
“This, her name is Vanilla, commonly called Ila. He's the grandson of Officer Arjuna.”
“Oh the grandson of the Wisdom family apparently. How are you Miss Pretty?”
“Good, chef. Geez it turns out that chef Gibran is really handsome.”
“Hahaha.. can aja, you. Come sit.”
Gibran invited his guests to sit down. A smile could not be separated from Vanilla's face. He really did not expect to be able to meet directly with one of the famous chefs in Indonesia, chef Gibran, the younger brother of chef Gavin. If Gavin has more qualified ability in the field of western food, in contrast to Gibran which is more inclined to Asian food, especially Chinese food.
“At first he wanted to see Gavin. Since om is still in Milan, so I met om Gibran first deh.”
“Fansnya bang Gavin turns out.”
“Fans chef Gibran also kok,” ralat Vanila while sharing a sweet smile.
“He's a boga graduate, um. Just now again, hahaha.”
“Means you can cook yes?”
“Alhamdulillah can, chef. At least, so want to learn again with chef Gibran and chef Gavin if you don't mind.”
“Same as no. Sharing knowledge is fun. Whenever you want to learn, you can come here. Want to learn privately or with free course participants aja.”
“Truly chef?”
Seeing the nod of Gibran's head, made Vanila even happier. Getting a chance to learn directly from his favorite chef is like getting a crumbling durian. Looks like he should thank the friend who brought him to meet Gibran. The famous chef was so friendly.
“Free right, om?” ask Rakan while smiling.
“Free, what the hell doesn't make your girlfriend.”
Uhuk..
My friend coughed at Gibran's words. Vanilla just threw a grin. He did not refuse but did not deny it either. It is up to Gibran to consider what, the important thing is that he can learn from the famous chef.
“When do you want to start learning?”
“I'm free, chef. The name is also unemployment, the time is always ready when. Depending on the chef, when is his free time.”
“If you want to learn privately, can be in the afternoon at four. If you want, from tomorrow we can start the lesson.”
“Waaahhh.. thanks chef. Tomorrow at four I'm here.”
Gibran's smile rose upon hearing Vanilla's ability. He was also happy to see the spirit of the girl to study. Hopefully Vanila can absorb the knowledge that will be taught by him.
“Ready, Gibran if you're in the kitchen it's more cool. Don't expect a rich friendly here, hahaha.” exclaimed Friend.
“In Allah I'm ready. His name in the kitchen must be mentally prepared. Being turned into everyday food. College time and PKL used to be like that.”
“Good it. Working in the kitchen it must be mentally strong. We are racing against the time to prepare a good meal for the person who is waiting.”
“True, chef. Must be ready to accept criticism too, will not everyone have the same taste with our tongue.”
“That bill."
Talks between Gibran and Vanilla continued. You are only a loyal listener. He doesn't know about the kitchen. He only knew how to eat it without wanting to know how to make it.
🍁🍁🍁
After meeting and talking with Gibran, Friends and Vanilla say goodbye. Tomorrow Vanila will come again to begin her studies together with Gibran. Friend asked Vanila to wait in front of the lobby, while he took a vehicle. It didn't take long, the car you were driving stopped in front of the office lobby.
Vanilla got into the car and immediately put on her seat belt. My friend runs his vehicle. His car stopped at a crossroad when the lights showed red.
“You go straight home or want to walk first?”
“Way where?”
“Terasu. Want to eat out or anywhere, it's up to you.”
“Abang not busy?”
“Ngga.”
“Nonton want to, bang? There's a new movie I want to watch,”
“Bby. What do you want to watch?”
“Custom, bang. Marvel series hehehe.”
Only a nod of the head is given by the friend. He steered his vehicle to The Ocean mall, where they would spend time watching on the bisokop. Friend's car turned into the mall owned by the Ega family and parked his vehicle in the basement.
Both of them entered the mall that is still visited by many visitors. They're heading to the top floor of this mall. My heart is so happy to spend time with Vanilla. He seemed to be thrown at the events of several years ago when he felt the sweetness of love with Shafa.
Arriving at the top floor, the two immediately entered the cinema. Without having to pick any more movies, Vanila headed straight for the ticket keeper. He ordered a seat at the top, exactly two rows from the top. Then head to the stand that sells food. Two popcorns and a drink were ordered by them. Afterwards they sat in the available seats, waiting for the studio door to open.
“Abang watch often in cinema?”
“Ehmm.. first.”
“Then? When used? Dutch colonial era?”
“Hahaha.. can only you.”
“Yang clear dong was once. Kepo nih me.”
“About three or four years ago.”
“Yes for that long, bang?”
“Iya.”
“Why?”
“Ehmm.. why yes. maybe because no friends watch.”
“Then now?”
“Can already have you friends watch it.”
“Yeah I tripped uh flattered to be a friend watching bang Rakan.”
“Can aja.”
A landing on Vanilla's head. Bada Rakan rippled while doing this. She is really interested in this cheerful girl. Not only her beautiful face, but Vanila's attitude that is supple, cheerful and always successful makes her laugh presents a strange vibration every adjacent to the girl.
The operator's voice was heard calling the pentontoons to enter the studio. The stand followed by Vanilla. While carrying food and drinks, they entered the studio and headed for their seats that were at the top. One by one the audience filled the studio.
Vanila's eyes looked unblinkingly at the big screen before her. Marvel superhero action scenes are presented nicely in front of his eyes. As a fan of action hero movies, of course the girl never miss any new made of marvel. Starting from Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers and other super hero hordes have been watched by him.
Friends who have never followed the film series try to enjoy the storyline presented. Several times he asked Vanila about the main character in the film. In a soft voice, Vanila answered what Rakan was asking.
They were in the studio for almost two hours until the show ended. The studio lights up and one by one the audience leaves the studio, including Friend and Vanilla.
“You ate no?” ask them as soon as they are outside the studio.
“Bby, bang.”
“What do you eat?”
“What aja, the important can be eaten.”
“Hahaha. Come.”
Friend took Vanila downstairs. He intended to bring Vanilla to eat at the Rose cafe. Many visitors came to the cafe. Friends take a table on the outside of the cafe. A waiter came to record their order.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Tenderloin steak one same iced lemon tea.”
The waiter recorded the order, then immediately left the table. Vanilla looked around the cafe. Cafe Rose is decades old, and until now still crowded with visitors because of the taste of their food that has not changed since the beginning of its establishment.
“You know who has this cafe?” ask Friend.
“Who is bang?”
“Kakek Dimas.”
“OMG.”
“This is one of the businesses that Dimas' grandfather managed. Now it is under Gibran, because Gibran is in charge of managing Artha Boga. If you are Gavin, responsible for managing the school and catering.”
“Wow is really cool. Grandpa Dimas how many kids?”
“Total there are five. Aunt Ara, Dimas' greatest granddad's son with Sissy's grandmother. If from Ily's grandmother, there is om Gemma, om Gavin, om Gibran same aunt Gea.”
“Everything is a chef?”
“Ngga. Grandpa Dimas' daughter has nothing to cook. Her ability goes down to all boys, hahaha.”
“Ngga anything, which women just a foot barge.”
A servant came to bring their order. Vanilla immediately ate her ordered food. According to him, chicken cordon bleu in this cafe is one of the best. My friend smiled at the girl in front of him who was eating voraciously.
“How old is he?”
“This year 28, why?”
“Ngga anything, want to know, hehehe. No intention of marriage yet? Brother doesn't have a girlfriend what fiancee?”
“There was. At first I was planning a young marriage. Age 24 is engaged, just waiting for my fiancee to graduate. But it turns out destiny says otherwise, me and Shafa are not matchmakers.”
“Why, bang? Same other married brother's fiancee?”
“Ngga.. he first returned to his creator.”
“Ooh.. sorry, bang.”
Vanila was immediately hit by a feeling of guilt when she saw the sad face of Rakan. He cursed at her mouth that did not stop asking about the personal matter of the man in front of her. Until now, the man has not had a partner. Looks like he still can't move on from his late fiancee.
“Ngga nothing, it's past too. Three years ago.”
“Abang no intention to find a replacement?”
“Yesterday not yet, but if now the power is there. But I'm not sure the woman I like wants to be with me.”
“Eey.. don't be so low, bang. Big brother, well established, the position at work is also cool CEO. Who wouldn't want to be the same brother.”
“If you want?” shoot Friends. He was actually surprised to ask that question. Like not just himself.
“Yeah I shot the CEO, yes please, hehehe.”
“If I'm not the CEO, you still want to?”
“Ehmm. think about it, bang. Hahaha.kidding bang. Honestly yes bang, if in my opinion, my brother is handsome, cool, friendly, certainly romantic deh.”
“Masa?”
“Iya.”
“You think romantic moments are rich what?”
“Ehmm.. what is it? See a show of fountains or fireworks, eat bribed or enjoy the view of the city of Bandung at the height of both, rich so that time yes. But don't know, bang.”
“But you already have a dating experience.”
“Free a month, bang. Abis is broken. If you don't want to date again?”
“Ngga. I want to marry directly. His girlfriend after marriage.”
“Dating after marriage, fun rich bang.”
The smile of Rakan rose to hear Vanilla's words. His hand was raised to call the servant. After finishing the meal, he intended to pay. A waiter came to bring Bill. The man put down some money to be paid, then took Vanila away from the place.
Finished an impromptu date, the friend immediately drove Vanila home. The man went to Juna's residence, where Vanila lived. The sky had darkened as the car he was driving entered the elite housing complex where Juna's house was located. He stopped the vehicle in front of the house.
“Still, yes bang.”
“Sama-sama. Tomorrow you want to go alone to the office om Gibran?”
“Emang brother want nganterin?”
“If you want to be with me, you have to wait to get home from work. How if you leave alone, I will return home I pick up.”
“Abang no hassle?”
“Ngga.”
“Ok deh, I'll find the door to chef Gibran's office. Back with brother.”
“Ok. Thanks, Ila. I'm happy to go on a trip with you.”
“I too, bang. Thanks for watching the same meal. Don't kapok ya.”
“Ngga will capok, really. Especially if you want to be taught to date after marriage.”
Sontak Rakan immediately closed his mouth after making such a statement. Again the man cursed himself who could not keep his tongue. Vanilla looked at Friend's face without blinking. He only replied to her with a smile, then got out of the car.
Oh my goodness, friend. Why try it, by the way. What if he's ilfil?
Friend just looked at the back of Vanila who entered the yard of Juna's house. There was a fear in her that Vanila would change her attitude after her frontal statement earlier. After the girl entered the house, then she ran a vehicle leaving the residence Juna.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam,” Juna replied.
Juna who was watching television moved his hand, asking the grandson to come closer. After kissing the back of his grandfather's hand, Vanila sat down next to the man. He went into Juna's arms.
“Why granddaughter grandpa?”
“Ngga. I met chef Gibran. Tomorrow I'll learn to cook with him. The guy is also nice, happy deh.”
“You must study hard. Not everyone gets a chance like you. Who did you meet chef Gibran with?”
“Taken bang Friends.”
Juna just nodded his head. In his heart smiling happily, the relationship of the grandson with Friend went smoothly. Hopefully, the relationship between the two will quickly continue towards a more serious level.
“Grandpa, was bang Friend I'm dating.”
“Oh yes?”
“Iya, but the courtship is out of wedlock. Indirectly he again ngelamar me or how the hell?”
“Can be.”
“Grandpa agrees that I'm a good friend?”
“Why not? He is a good man, his family is good too. If you are the same friend, grandpa is sure you will be happy to live with him.”
“But I haven't had the same taste as my friend. I like to chat or go with friends, but if the love is rich not yet deh.”
“Tresno jalaran suko. Love will come because it is used to it. The important thing is that you feel comfortable first. If you are comfortable and sure of your heart, why not? Friend is also an adult, he knows how to treat women well.”
“That's yes, grandpa.”
Vanilla paused over Juna's words. He did not have any feelings for Friend. But she was happy when she heard the man ask her out after marriage. But the girl had to rethink all that. Including consulting with both parents.
