You're My Antidote
First Cuisine

Rani just finished taking a shower and sat in front of the dresser as soon as she saw the large envelope given by Ms. Latang which she only had time to see the cover of the document inside. Even yesterday when they met he forgot to ask his point.

He was immediately stunned as he opened a document bearing the symbol of a garuda bird with the certificate.

The orphanage's land certificate that has changed hands becomes on his behalf. And the thing that makes him speechless is the date the certificate was inaugurated.

A piece of paper fell from the page he opened. A handwritten note that was neatly written for him.

Rani darling..

Forgive mom and dad.

From the very beginning you asked us to help you when the home was about to be evicted, from then on we bought the land on your behalf.

Forgive me for threatening you with an orphanage. And you need not worry about it because the land has been in your name for a long time.

Mother and father just don't want the King to marry the wrong woman. And we just believe you're the only woman right for our beloved King.

Again forgive mom and dad, son. We have the King. Please bring back happiness in his life.

^^^^^Ibu Lintang.^^^^^

He should have been able to cancel the marriage with that certificate. Because he no longer needed to fear the safety of the home.

But there is just the opposite.

He could not betray the sincerity of the King's parents who had helped him. Because he knows they're good people.

Rani took a long breath. He felt a burden in his heart. I don't know what to do to make the King happy. The trust was too heavy for him to run.

In the midst of her silence, her phone rang. The ringing call from the man who was swirling in his mind.

"Hallo.." said. But I got no answer and just kept quiet across the street. I don't know for what purpose the King contacted him at nights like this.

"Hallo sis.." said again but again did not get an answer. He kept the phone away from the ear and saw the phone connection was still connected. "Is the phone tight?" he muttered to himself.

He hopes the King's phone just accidentally slipped and the owner does not know it. He rejected the bad thoughts that almost lodged in his head. "Sister King must be fine." pressed him inwardly.

"Hallo brother? this is really a piss, isn't it? if it's really tight, Rani matiin huh?"

He would have completely severed the connection when the King's voice sounded and undo his intentions.

"Wait on! You're home yet?"

Rani was stunned for a moment. Didn't expect her boss to ask her something unrelated to work.

Even more surprised when the man said he was waiting for him outside the home.

Snatching the instant sweater and veil hanging behind the door, Rani came out half-run. Worrying about something important and not wanting to make the boss wait too long.

"Brother why didn't you tell me it's here?" he said with a slight sigh as soon as he opened the gate of the parlor and approached the King who was sitting leaning on the hood of his car. "If you know, your brother does not need to be cold outside like this." he throbbed, standing in front of the King by folding his hands.

"From you being angry, it's better to sit!"

Rani gets even worse when the man in front of her tells her with a chin move. He told her to sit next to the man.

After observing the murky look on the King's face, Rani relents and complies. Sitting next to the King still with a distance that is not too close.

"The king's face why? ugly really?" taunted. The King's face never looked friendly in front of him. But it's never this loud if it's not in a bad mood.

"Have you eaten?"

Rani sighed. That's King. Always ask questions if you don't want to answer them. But despite his curiosity, he could not force the King to tell him what put the man in a bad mood. Because if you want, the king will tell you. But if not, maybe the man wants to keep it alone.

"I'm hungry. Keep me eating."

Rani looks at the clock on her phone. The day is approaching midnight. It wouldn't be nice if he was out at night like this.

He stared along the front street of the parlour and saw that there was a tent stall still open.

"Eat the chicken pecel or sis?"

The king looked at him confused. He pointed at the shop he meant. "Or fried rice?" point it to the other choices that are there.

"We're just restaurant." refused the man.

Rani knew the man next to her was never comfortable eating food in such a place. Rani is even sure the King has never tried it.

"Now it's midnight. What time do we go home if we leave? Rani is not good with the neighbors. Afraid of rumors of a no-no." he also refused the King's invitation to go out. What else is the distance of a restaurant that is not 24 hours from the parlour quite far.

The king thought as he stared doubtfully at the two roadside tent stalls.

"Quiet down. King's brother couldn't have been sick just by eating it." trying to convince. "They cook it clean, brother."

The king still stared doubtfully but ended up shaking his head.

"No need. You just go in. I'm not eating."

The king pushed his shoulder with his index finger. Make him back to throbbing for some time in their meeting this time.

"Sister King has not eaten. It will hurt." he stood again in front of the King and looked at him sharply.

"I'm not that weak!"

"No need to be crazy!" he pulled the man's wrist. "Let's go to the parlor. We're looking for something to cook for brother king to eat."

Although the King initially refused, the man followed him. He let go of the King's hand with a smile as soon as the man began to cooperate.

"Sister King sitting here is okay, huh? Rani cook first."

Upon seeing the King sitting down, he turned his back to the man to look at the contents of the refrigerator. Looking for something she can cook.

"Eat it, eat it spent! don't get hungry and trouble yourself!" he mendumel himself by preparing fried rice ingredients. Because it looks like Ani's mother hasn't been shopping for tomorrow.

"Fussy."

"Rani listen to me, brother!" the thrill glanced sharply when he heard the King mutter.

"If you want to get angry and not cook, I'll just go home."

Rani takes the frying pan and starts cooking. Not letting the King starve awaits him.

Because the King does not like spicy, so he does not use chili and only adds a little pepper.

"Sorry brother, there is only this." he served a plate of fried rice complete with beef eggs and a sprinkling of fried onions.

"I used to eat fried rice" said Raja and began to eat voraciously fried rice that he cooked. It seems like the King is really hungry. Makes Rani more curious what the King did after leaving the mall until it ended up starving with that bad mood.
