#152 - Memories of the Past

Freya was still stunned to see Andreas. Chef who he idolized because he has a handsome face and good at cooking.

Naina just smiled a little at Freya who looked very surprised by Andreas' presence. He knew that this restaurant belonged to Andreas. So Naina wanted to give a little surprise to Freya.

"Then I will prepare the dessert for Miss," Andreas told Freya from shock.

"Eh? Ah yes, Chef." Freya was embarrassed.

Andreas returns to the kitchen and prepares dessert for Freya and Naina.

"Sister!" Freya looked at Naina horror.

"Why?"

"Did you know if this restaurant belonged to Chef Andreas?" ask Freya to investigate.

"Hehe, don't fully know. But I just heard the rumors."

Freya took a breath. "Ish, brother! I look stupid in front of Chef Andreas!"

Naina laughs. "Just relax, Frey. Didn't you know Chef Andreas?"

Freya pressed her shoulders.

"I'm sure he still knows you, Frey."

"Don't know, brother. I still can't remember my past." Freya nodded slowly.

"Prophey! I'm sure you can remember it someday."

Freya smiled. He wished he could remember all the memories of his past.

A few minutes later, Chef Andreas returns with dessert for Freya.

"This is my special cook for you, Miss Freya. Welcome back," he said politely.

Freya just commented on her sweet smile. He immediately tasted a dessert shaped like a small tart.

Freya felt a sweet taste, there was bitter and also sour. Maybe Andreas deliberately made it feel like life was filled with various flavors.

After the dessert, Freya and Naina prepare to leave. They stood in front of the cashier's desk and paid the bills. This time Naina bought Freya.

Again Andreas approached Freya as if holding the girl to leave.

"Miss Freya! Can we talk for a second?" ask Andreas.

Freya glanced at Naina. "It's okay, I can go home by myself to the office. You talk to Chef Andreas."

Naina who has been invited, and Freya who feels can not refuse.

"Alright, I still have an hour before I go back to the office."

Andreas invites Freya to a room that turns out to be home.

"I deliberately made a house on top of my restaurant to make my work easier" explained Andreas.

Freya's just a mangosteen.

"Want tea?" bargain Andreas.

"Can."

Freya looked around the room of Andreas' house that looked aesthetic and classic.

"Chefs... Do you know me?" asked Freya innocently.

Andreas laughs. "You, yourself, why would you be willing to visit the house of someone you don't know?"

"Eh? I'm .. I'm just being polite, Chef."

Andreas handed Freya a cup of tea. "I know you because we used to live somewhere nearby."

"really? Isn't it just your house and the Ford family nearby?" Freya tried to dig up an information.

"No. The three of us live close together. I'm glad you're alive."

Freya fell silent. So many things have been lost in his life because of the accident.

"I heard you and Damian .. have a special relationship."

Freya looked at Andreas. "That's how."

"I didn't think his feelings hadn't changed in the past."

"Eh?"

"Ah done. Forgetit! Nice to see you again, Freya."

"Then, how was my relationship with Damian? Why didn't he tell me anything?" freya muttered.

His tired body could no longer digest the things that had happened in the past. He fell asleep and headed to dreamland.

In a minimalist style house, a young man. About 13 years of age came riding his bike. The young man got off his bike and greeted a little girl who was playing in the garden in front of his house.

"Hi, Freya!" greet the young man.

"Eh? Brother Damian? Want to find Edo bang, huh?"

"Yes. He's home, right?"

"There's sis. It looks like it's in his room."

"Okay, I'm going in first!" Young Damian walks into the house but before that he ruffles the hair of a little Freya who is playing.

"Ish, brother! My hair is getting tangled, right?" little Freya's murmur.

Freya opened her eyes. He was still in shock after having a dream that felt so real.

"What was that? Damian and I met when we were kids. Is that really all? Or just a dream?" freya muttered.

After cleaning up, Freya came out of the room and greeted Liliana and Laurent. Now they only live three because after marriage, Edo decided to live alone with Rizka, his wife.

During breakfast together, Freya just shut up for thinking about her dream last night. What he felt was very real. Damian as a teenager and himself.

"Freya! What's up, son? Why is the food only visible?" ask Liliana who made Freya aware.

"Eh? It's okay, Ma. It's me eating!" Freya immediately devoured her breakfast until the toilet. He didn't want to make Liliana worry.

In the office, Freya tries to forget all the sweet dreams between herself and Damian. He wanted to see his girlfriend and ask her directly. Damian is busy with work. For almost a week now, Freya hasn't seen Damian.

At lunchtime, Freya calls Doni and asks him to prepare lunch for her. But Freya turned out to be an uninvited guest.

"Chef Andreas?" Freya is surprised not to get upset and wonders what Andreas is coming to his office for.

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting your time. I just stopped by for a second to give you this!" Andreas presented a paper bag to Freya.

"What is this, Chef?" freya asked confused.

"I made lunch for you. I heard you have digestive problems. So, I'm making you some comfort food for your hull."

With hesitation, Freya received the paper bag from Andreas' hand.

"Thank you very much, Chef. You shouldn't have to do this."

"It's okay. It's not troublesome. The one who supported me to be a chef was you."

"Eh?" Freya's stunned.

For a moment Andreas and Freya's eyes clashed. Implies a feeling that is never expressed.

"I know you can't remember any of that. But I remember it. The ever-spirited and cheerful little girl. I didn't expect that after you encouraged me to move on, I never saw you again. When you died .. I was determined to continue to fulfill my dream of becoming a Chef."

Andreas' story moved Freya and shed tears. He did not expect that he had a major contribution to Andreas' decision.

Andreas stepped forward and wiped away Freya's tears.

"Don't cry. The Freya I've been to is a strong girl and always smiles."

With eyes still filled with puddles of tears, Freya looked at Andreas. Little by little, his past memories began to crack open.

"Freya!"

The voice of someone made Freya flinch and brushed aside Andreas' hand.
