Lu[C]Ka Love
29. INTERNSHIP EVENTS

Cinta gets a message in the whatsapp group that Chef Juna sent to his students this year so that tomorrow they all gather at JB Group headquarters at eight in the morning to do an internship for three moons.

Love grunts annoyed. He did not know why Chef Juna chose JB Group as a place for internships.

Love came out of the room and saw her family reading her graduation certificate that she had just received yesterday.

"The value of Nduk Cinta from the beginning is already good. He has got the first rank from the beginning of entering the academy," said Bude Sri.

"Yes yes. How's nilaine piben leh?" (How to judge how?) Timpal Bulik Tati's.

"What are you, Tati. The assessment is from the taste of the cuisine, continue the appearance of the food. From the beginning Neng Cinta teh is talented. He inherited his talent from his mother's father. Also from us. Really no? Since childhood, Neng Cinta lived with us - we who have stalls. And good at cooking. Aye right?" imbuh Rina Tea.

"Hahahaha, that's right Tea too. Nduk Cinta is a descendant of wake dhewe." (Our own descendants). Bude Sri added.

Because his heart was upset, Love did not want to ruin the atmosphere by joining them. Love decided to leave the house for fresh air.

Mother Inah who saw something different with Love, immediately followed her.

"Nduk, what's wrong? You're angry that Bude Sri and the others saw the value of your cooking certificate?"

"No, Ma. Not because of that. I'm glad they're proud of me. At the very least, I've done something that makes Mom proud of me."

"Of course I'm proud of you. You are the pride of us all. Then, what's the matter why you look upset?"

"Mother, tomorrow I have to leave for an internship."

"Yes nice dong. After graduation, you should be an intern first. Counting learning work. Where do you get an internship?"

"JB Group."

"Did? JB Group's? Got Mr Jansen?"

Love nodded. Then take a breath.

"You still don't want to see Lucka?"

"Mother..."

"Sooner or later you have to face this, Nduk."

"But it still feels heavy, ma'am..."

"You still think about him?"

"Don't know, Mom."

"Darling, you're all grown up now. You can decide your own way of life as long as it is a good thing. Already, don't pout. Let's join the others. They want to see you."

"Yes, Mom." Love forced her smile.

...***...

The next day, the,

Love is already in front of the JB Group building. He looked up at that magnificent building. He came here a year ago. When he surprises Lucka. That day he was very happy, and those memories still continue to imprint in the heart of Love.

Love hesitated to enter the building. His mind is still haunted by some things he did not want, namely meeting Lucka. He was not ready to meet her. Even though his heart was eager to meet.

Is it time for me to see you again, Lucka?

"What are you standing here for? Quick in!" Chef Juna's voice breaks the reverie of Love.

"Yes Chef."

Love follows Chef Juna in the back. He tried to hide behind Chef Juna's burly body. Love hopes no one recognizes it. He would be so embarrassed if anyone knew he was here right now. The status now isn't Lucka's fiancee anymore. Except for an ex-fiancee. Hmmm, it's so bad to hear.

Chef Juna headed to the main kitchen of the JB Group building. Love rounded his eyes to see the big kitchen that was there. It was a luxurious kitchen according to Love.

Chef Juna told the disciples to gather and then gave a welcome and a few words of welcome.

"Welcome to JB Group Kitchen. From today until the next three months, you will be here, and serve all the employees here. As you know, the CEO of JB Group does not want women as the Main Chef here. So, you will be helped by your seniors in the academy."

Then three young men appeared and greeted Chef Juna.

Love doesn't focus too much on listening to Chef Juna's words. His soul was not there with his body.

"Love!" Call Chef Juna again.

"Eh? Yes, chef. Sorry."

"From tomorrow onwards you will make a menu list every day."

"Did?" Love was surprised.

"Not to be surprised like that, Love. You got the best score of the year, so I hope you don't disappoint me."

"Yes, Chef."

"You have 20 people, and I've divided you into three teams. For tomorrow, you will decide for yourself which team you want to enter. But remember! You guys should switch places. I'll always keep an eye on you."

"Yes, Chef." Answer them compact.

"This is a list of your names and it has already been shown that you are on which team. Next, you must prepare with your respective teams. And the one who will be in charge of all of you when I am not around is Chef Andreas. Any question?"

Love is eager to ask questions. But his lips could not say anything.

"Well, if there's no question. I assume you all understand. Remember that! Teamwork is the main thing. Happy working. And good luck. Excuse me first. Thank you." Thank you." Chef Juna left the kitchen.

Now it is Andreas' turn to explain the cooking procedures in the kitchen of JB Group. All the students listened carefully. But only Love cannot concentrate because it thinks of something. Love interrupted Andreas and asked permission to leave the kitchen.

Love chasing Chef Juna who has arrived at the lobby of the building. Love calls Chef Juna.

Chef Juna stopped and turned around. "You? What did you call me?"

"Sorry, Chef. But, there's something I have to ask." Love begins to catch her breath.

"About what?"

"Why did Chef choose this place as our internship place? Did Chef deliberately put me here?"

Chef Juna laughed. "So you're accusing me of deliberately choosing this place because you know your past with the heir of JB Group??"

"I'm not accusing, I'm just asking."

"I admit your courage. But sorry, I didn't do anything outside of the procedure. All of this is written on the registration form you signed. Didn't you read it?"

"Eh?"

"You can be sure you didn't read it." Chef Juna crossed his arms. "Murid is as smart as you why can be this reckless. Not reading all the rules carefully but instead just sign it."

Love bowed her head. "Sorry, Chef..."

"Or don't you sign up because you're one of my fans?"

"Did?" Love rolled her eyes. "Bu-not that, Chef. I'm sorry for asking this question. I'll fix my mistake."

"Yes already. Go back to the kitchen. Your friends will be waiting."

Love bowed and then said goodbye to Chef Juna. He feels so stupid now.

Love banged his head and cursed himself while walking. Suddenly though...

"Love!"

A familiar voice in the ears of Love managed to make him sculpt.
