RUH 38'S

Kendra stood quietly waiting for her Papa's reply which looked stuttering and was very careful to give an answer.

"What do you want me to work in the office? Cafeter guard? or the cook?" ask Kendra cynically.

"Papa doesn't mean that, Ken Papa asked you to be Papa's assistant, while learning about the ins and outs of the company."

"The only science I'm good at and interested in is culinary, Pa, and I have absolutely no interest in the world of trading business that Papa is in. Papa can give it all to the other Papa's child, I'm not interested," Kendra refused, turning her back and walking away.

"Hard head hasn't changed." Mr. Bram muttered. His head shook and looked sadly at Kendra who was walking further and further away.

"Don't push her too much if you don't want her to stay away. You know she doesn't want to get into your life and ruin your family" said Mama Kendra.

"I know, maybe I'm too excited because you're too happy to be next to me again. For me, you and Kendra are my real family," said Mr. Bram while fondly fondling Mama Kendra's waist.

Aware of their relationship that never had an official status, Mama Kendra released Mr. Bram's hand from her waist and quickly followed Kendra. He was afraid if there were eyes that saw their closeness and raised the news to the public.

Realizing his mistake, Mr. Bram sighed heavily, then walked after Kendra and her mother.

"Ken, I'm sorry that Papa might be impressed to force you. Papa just wants the best for you," said Mr. Bram as the three stood in line waiting for Mr. Bram's driver to pick up the car.

"I can manage my own life, Pa. No need to worry. We can live alone and independently, can't we Ma?" Kendra grinned thinly.

Once again Mr. Bram took a deep breath. He knew the insinuations were a form of Kendra's disappointment in her status as a fatherless child.

"Friends Papa there is a new open business restaurant. If you want, you can study with his managing nephew."

"The restaurant has Papa?" ask Kendra to investigate.

"No, Papa's friend just pioneered the culinary business. How about we have lunch there and you see the restaurant?"

Kendra thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Mr. Bram smiled with relief, his offer was welcomed by Kendra. His efforts to get closer to this second son, there was a bit of an open road again.

Along the way to the restaurant recommended by her father, Kendra chose to quietly enjoy the memories of her hometown. The city where he first felt love and lost love all at once.

When the car stopped at a red light intersection, a pair of young people with motorbikes who also stopped caught his attention. The man looks seductive to the woman sitting behind him, then the woman looks angry and frowns and pinches the man's waist. Before long the man's hands raised rubbed the woman's cheeks to apologize, then pulled the woman's hands to hug her body more.

It's romantic, but it hurts in Kendra's eyes. Having just landed in Indonesia, he has been shown by a sight that reminds him of a few years ago. Inevitably his memory floated when Maura was angry, pouting and upset because she was often seduced. If it was like that, he would pinch Maura's nose and ruffle her hair. And as for the apology, he would happily cook anything for the girl.

'His 'Girl' Kendra laughed wryly in the heart as the appellation flashed through her mind. 'Sister-in-law', maybe this designation that he will embed for Maura later. The laughter of his mother and the man he called Papa on the back bench further increased his dizziness.

"We have arrived" said Mr. Bram. The restaurant in question is quite large but impressed warm.

"What a great you, the last time I came here this section does not exist," said Mr. Bram, pointing to a row of gazebos surrounding a large pond. Kendra and her Mama looked around in awe then nodded in agreement.

"Om can do it. Thank ye. This is Om's son who was told on the phone earlier?" Reno pointed at Kendra.

"Yes, her name is Kendra. Kendra and her mom just picked me up from the airport directly I brought here to study with you." Kendra was a little surprised and panicked when her Papa introduced her as a child. He was worried about how others would view his mother? But it seems like the man who shook his hand at the moment looks neither troubled nor confused by his status.

"Dadooh, reverse Om. I should have learned this from Le Cordon Blue." Reno patted her own forehead.

"Mas Reno is so much cooler to have a business of this magnitude, if I'm just a cook," Kendra said.

"You can also be twice as big as this, just stay your Papa makeup," whispered Reno joking.

"The two of you can learn from each other and work together. Reno is good at management, Kendra is good at recipes." Bram patted both of them on the shoulder.

"Let's talk while eating. I have prepared a menu from this restaurant. Please review yes, Ken, but don't be too honest I'm not ready for the new mental understanding pioneering." Reno is funny by putting on a face of melas.

Seeing his youngest son and nephew his friend seem familiar, Mr. Bram smiled with satisfaction. Kendra seemed comfortable and occasionally laughed with Reno's jokes.

"Mas Reno is amazingly young already successful. The food's all good, the place's comfortable." Satisfied to enjoy the dishes, Kendra heads spin admiring the interiors and employees are deftly serving customers.

"really? If there is a lack of love know, you do not hesitate. I also still learn a lot because my basic education is not in the field of FnB because."

"Oh yeah?" Kendra's eyes narrowed in wonder.

"I am classified as a lucky human being, confused looking for a job to and fro no one wants to accept, Om I offered to develop his restaurant business. I'm just a lackey here." Reno chuckled in amusement with her own words.

"This reno is too low, he is actually an IT expert who is tired of working from home and wants to try a new world" said Mr. Bram.

"Thanks to Om Bram also I learned a lot about the business world."

"Mmm," said Kendra flat. It was strange to hear that his father looked so great in the eyes of others.

"Let's show me the kitchen." Reading the unpleasant situation, Reno distracts Kendra, "Deg-deg and bring the real chef into the kitchen," Reno said, "Your Papa said, you're looking for a job while you're studying restaurant business?" asked Reno while accompanying Kendra around the kitchen of her restaurant.

"Yes." Yeah." Kendra nodded, "Mas Reno doesn't feel strange about my status as Mr Bram's son?" Kendra turned to Reno who was walking behind her.
