116. Learn to Cook

Two hours waiting for the arrival of Rena, finally the woman came too. Alina looks upset because she has to wait a long time for her friend to come to her house. He even felt so bored that he fell asleep for a moment in his time interval while playing a mobile phone.

"Sorry, Al, I forgot that there was a meeting with the office boy, so I had to finish the meeting first, then I could come here."

Alina shook her head, it was fitting that her friend had come so long ago, it turned out that she had a meeting first. Attempting to understand, Alina finally forgot her frustration. He immediately invited Rena to start learning to cook with the chef who had been waiting. 

"I'm sorry, sir, you've made a long wait" Alina said unkindly.

The chef nodded in agreement, after all, who would dare to be angry with Miss Wilson. 

As per what Alina wanted, the chef there just gave instructions and saw what Alina and Rena were working on. As of this moment, the chef asked Alina to provide the ingredients in advance that they would use for cooking. As beginners, Alina and Rena will cook something very easy, namely, fried chicken flour and also mushroom soup. 

After all the ingredients were available on the table, the chef asked the two women to wash and slice the vegetables and chicken there. Although the slices of the two women were uneven and seemed slow, but it did not make the coffee there feel bored. He knew to teach someone cooking should require a lot of patience and fortunately he was already used to it while being a senior chef at one of the restaurants.

"Miss, holding the banana is not like that" said the chef there when he saw Rena holding the knife the wrong way.

But before Rena stopped the movement, suddenly the woman screamed because her hand was scratched by a knife so that it made people there shocked.

"Astaghfirullah, what's wrong with you, Ren?" alina asked in surprise. He immediately left his job to see his friend who was injured.

"My hands are sliced, Al. Very matter," cried Rena while complaining.

One of the waiters there ran to pick up the P3K city available next to the refrigerator, while the chef advised Rena to take the woman's hand to wash it with water.

"The way to put your knife up was wrong, miss, so chances are your hand will get scratched while slicing."

"Why not say it from the beginning? My hand is now injured, you are late" Rena said.

The chef was just silent, not daring to say the words of the woman who was upset. 

After Rena's hand was bandaged, they went back to cooking. Now Rena is more careful and does everything according to the orders of the chef who is already professional.

Zara who had just come to see her daughter's activities with Rena who was learning to cook was smiling. But when he saw Rena's hand in the burden, the look on her face began to change. He approached Alina and looked at the woman's hand.

"Mama why?" alina asked in surprise. 

"Are you hurt, honey?" ask Zara to her daughter.

"Auntie, Alina wasn't hurt. Only Rena was injured for slicing the chicken" said Rena.

"Why can it be sliced, Ren?" asked Zara while approaching her son's friend to see the condition of his hand.

"It's just wrong to use a knife. The chef also did not remind from the beginning," said Rena while singing her lips by looking at the chef who was there, as if to blame him for the small incident.

"Other times have to be careful, dear," said Zara and asserted by Rena.

Then Zara allowed the two women to continue cooking it and looked at it from a distance. Nor did he intend to reprimand the chef who was there because he knew if a small thing like this would definitely happen to someone who was learning to cook. For professional chefs alone may often accidentally have an accident in the kitchen, especially those who just want to learn, he thought.

An hour has passed, now Rena develops her smile when all the dishes are available on the plate. He was very proud of himself for being able to cook two dishes that he could only feel.

With a fluffy smile Rena brought the two dishes to the dining table, while Alina and her parents have been waiting there since.

Since half an hour ago, Alina had left the kitchen because suddenly she felt so nauseous when Rena accidentally spilled so much pepper into her vegetables.

Zara who saw her daughter was already weakened then invited her to rest. Can't resist Alina even obeyed her mother's words. 

Initially Rena also wanted to stop because she saw Alina who no longer learned to cook, but after one of the dishes was finished, the lazy taste suddenly disappeared. He was getting excited to continue his cooking until it was done. 

When the food was on the table, Rena was eager to hear the honesty of the three people in front of her on this first dish.

"Auntie, Uncle, how's Rena cooking, what's delicious?" rena asked Alina's parents while they were still chewing on her cooking.

"Al, how is it, good?" ask her friend.

They were still silent because at this time his mouth was still chewing on the food made by Rena. And when the food was swallowed, they smiled and praised Rena's cooking, making the woman smile happily. 

Curious about her own cuisine, Rena took a plate to taste the taste of the cuisine. When a scoop of mushroom soup entered her mouth, Rena smiled proudly again. It turned out to taste quite good, although a little campah because he was mostly entering water.

"Well, I'm good at cooking too. It's not wrong that Andi chose me as his future wife."

Alina who heard the word 'wife-to-be' said by her friend widened her eyes in wonder.

"Wife candidate?"

Rena set Alina speaking. He also smiled broadly.

"Yes. In two months we will get married" Rena said, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, are you serious? Why just say now anyway, Ren," said Alina excitedly. 

"Andi just said last week that he wanted to marry me. Yesterday we just had a meeting of two families and today I immediately tell you. You're the first person to know about this millionaire, Al," Rena said.

"Geez, I'm glad to hear that, Ren. Congratulations."

"Well, congratulations, Rena. May his good intentions be watered down until the day of execution arrives" Zara said later. 

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Oh yeah, Ren, but why is the time so fast? Only two months to arrange the wedding. We are three months away dizzy because of sudden," said Alina who was curious.

"Not suddenly either. Before this indeed Andi has been preparing for our marriage since far away. He said he wanted to surprise me on purpose."

"Waws. I guess Andi does not want to marry you, it turns out that the man already has his own plans for his future with you yes," said Alina with a little joke at the beginning of her sentence.

"Just boy. If he doesn't want to marry me, why are we dating for years."

Alina laughed too. It is also true that Andi did not intend to marry Rena, for what they can still survive until now. Alina salutes that friend. Behind his indifferent nature to his relationship it turns out that the man has his own thoughts for his future.

"Are you ready to be a wife? Beautiful and smart to cook, it is not wrong Andi chose you as his wife," said Alina with a small oddity.

"Of course" said Rena confidently.
