He's A Chef

When I got home, I asked a lot of questions.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom. Brother came home." I said then approached Mom at the kiosk.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. How was that, brother? Smoothly?" ask Mother.

"Alhamdulillah, ma'am." I replied.

"Let's just talk inside. There's no buyer yet." take me. Then Mom came in to chat in the living room.

Before I go inside following Mom, I take the fanta from the fridge.

"Here, here, here, Mom's same story." said Mom enthusiastically.

"What story, Mom?" I asked after taking a fanta.

"Which person is he, brother?"

"Field People, ma'am." I replied.

"Well, all the way he came here just to meet Brother. That's great." said Mother.

"Yes, Mom. In Angkot takes less than 4 hours. Must be sore waist, haha." I said with a laugh.

"Yes, just if you take angkot from here to Medan, always complaining about back pain, hehe" said Mother. "Then how was it there? He said anything? Her brother's good not on Sister?" ask Mom again.

"Alhamdulillah Agatha's sister is good, ma'am. We were there just chatting and eating." I replied.

"Owh. I thought I was planning a wedding, hehe." said Mom.

I know why Mom behaved that way, it's because I was so happy to see that I had started to open my heart and try to accept someone.

"No, ma'am." I said. Then I took out a proposal from inside my bag. "Bang Rizky gave this proposal to Brother, Mom." I said.

"proposals? What proposal is that?" ask Mother.

"Proposal ta'aruf, ma'am. But my sister hasn't read it yet." I replied.

"Yes, it was read directly. Later when it's finished reading, tell me what Mother is in it." ask Mother.

"Yes, Mom. Brother go in the room first, Mom. Want to read this, Sister is also curious about what it is, hehe." I said with a cry.

"Yes." said Mother while nodding slowly.

I got out of my seat and went into my room. I opened the first sheet.

The first sheet contains the full name of Bang Rizky, place of birth date and others.

But wait, Bang Rizky works as a chef in a five-star hotel??

*"Kyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."* this is serious? Oh my God, what happens if he knows Aura is not good at cooking? Hix, hix, hix... Suddenly, my voice became shrivelled.

Then I opened the next sheet, he told me about the vision of the mission in marriage and so on.

Until I got to the last sheet, it was written that he once wanted to meet me, but was embarrassed to say hello first.

Then he wrote that he once tried to frame me by falling down a letter while breathing with me. I was walking alone while reading a book.

"If only Aura had taken the letter and given it to me, I would have ventured to ask Aura's name. But unfortunately, Aura was too indifferent, so Aura ignored the envelope." she wrote.

"When did this happen? I don't remember at all." I asked in my heart.

I try to remember that incident. I thought for a long time but I can't remember it yet. Hurm.

When I walk alone reading books, walking alone and reading books, walking while reading books, hurrmm. I kept repeating that sentence until I remembered the incident.

"Ahaaa, I remember. At that time I was memorizing material for cults after the completion of Maghrib prayers. That's why I walked alone without being accompanied by Luna or Icha. Then I ran into someone, but I didn't know who it was because I was too focused on my book. Then I noticed an envelope falling, I saw the envelope and I was sure it wasn't mine, so I ignored it." I told myself.

Bang Rizky is funny, just want acquaintance to use the show fallin envelope letter all, haha. Imagine if he did that to his fans, maybe they would scream in excitement, or even faint.

I always heard them talking about Bang Rizky, he was pure white, ideal height, handsome, sharp nose, oppa-oppa-like facial features, perfect physique, exorbitant achievements. Which woman doesn't want it?

Just now that I was standing near Bang Rizky, I was just his shoulder, hikss.

Ting!! Gawaiku. I grabbed it and immediately opened a chat.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Aura is home?" ask Bang Rizky.

"Yes no problem. Is it finished reading?" ask again.

"Already, Bang."

"What does Aura think of me?"

"A funny thing."

"Funny? Funny how that means?"

"Yes, funny. Oh yeah, Bang. If Aura can figure out what the letter is?" my many.

"Which letter?"

"What letter did you drop at Aura's feet?"

"Oowh, there's no content. It's just an envelope of empty paper doank, hehe." he wrote.

"Oh so. How will my brother pray asharnya?"

"We stopped by the mosque."

"Oh, will you finish praying again? Must have been a long time waiting for the angkot to come."

"Huh? An angkot? Who's riding the angkot?" tanyakanya.

"Abang instead of taking an angkot?" I asked him back.

"No. Brother bring a car."

"What's? Bring car? Then why can you chat?"

"It's stopping at the mosque, coming soon to the ashar prayer time."

"Oh, yes. If you brought a car, why didn't you come with Brother?"

"Sister came later because there was business, after his business was finished then he followed Brother there."

"Oh that. So now she's coming home?"

"Yes. It was a chat, Ra. Brother wants to wudhu', here already adhan. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Yes, Bang. Wa'alaikumussalam." I reply.

Hurmm, I was laughing just now because she was having a backache riding an angkot. But it turns out he was riding in a private car, not an angkot.

I wanted to tell Bang Rizky that I'm not good at cooking, but I'm ashamed. If it turns out that later Bang Rizky retreated because of that how? Aura will be broken heart donk.

Then I heard the sound of the Adhan reverberating, I immediately went to the bathroom to ablution' and performed the ashar prayer.

After I finished praying, I went to Mom.

"Mom, Sister has prayed. Here let Brother take care of his stall. I pray first." I said to Mom when I got to the kiosk. "Oh yeah, this is the money I was packing. Only used Rp.10,000.00 for the fare." connect me and give the money to Mother.

"Oh, yes, I have. Just keep the money in the drawer. I go in first." said Mom.

"Yes, Mom." I replied.

"Ra, this is your groceries are ready, calculate yes how much the total is" said Kak Rina who was shopping.

"Yes, Brother."

Then I went over to Brother Rina, I took a calculator and a crackle. After I finished counting, all the groceries and snacks I put in a large crackle.

"It's all Rp.55,000.00, brother" I said while handing over the groceries.

"Owh, okay. Here's the money, thank you." he said while offering two sheets of blue and brownish green banknotes. Then he grabbed the crackle and left me.

"Yes, Brother. Thank you too." I said.

After finishing serving Kak Rina, I also keep the money in the drawer. I sat at the stall playing my salary.

I was about to tell Bang Rizky, even though I am a woman but I lost to her when it comes to cooking. What was his reaction like?
