Choosing Love !?!?

The question...

It was a bright Monday. Busyness has been seen in the Purnomo family home. Mom was busy in the kitchen making breakfast for all the family members. Dad was cool in the back garden where he grew various kitchen spices such as tomatoes, chili, chives, leeks, lemongrass, galangal, ginger, and more. Thanks to the father's gardening hobby, mothers almost never buy kitchen spices in the market. Their eldest son Andrea Putra Purnomo had just finished his bath and was getting ready for work. Only the youngest child still does not show signs of life.

Alex was still snuggling into a deep sleep under the covers. Yesterday he arrived home at 23:25. Yes it is reasonable because for working hours in the afternoon it is from 14:00 until the restaurant closes at 23:00.

And every time he gets the afternoon work hours his beloved sister will definitely pick him up to Paradiso - land. Although Alex has so many times refused to be picked up because he did not want to bother his brother who tomorrow morning still have to go to work, but his brother never menubrisnya and still always stand by at the back door special Paradiso staff.

Though there is nothing to worry about because on the train there are still passengers at that hour, although not as much as the morning. And again it turns out that there are many people who work in Paradiso who are in the same direction as him, even though they do not know each other because of different workplaces it is still important that he is not alone.

"Alex hasn't woken up yet, ma'am?" ask Andre at the dinner table.

"Not yet" answered the mother who was putting omelet and sausage on the plate and handed it to Dad. " Let's look in her room" continued Mother.

Although today was Alex's day off and last night he came home late he never missed breakfast. He would usually sleep again after breakfast.

" Let's go ma'am, I'm still tired of him. He said he was busy yesterday. " Andre put a piece of sausage into his mouth.

" How's your job?" ask Dad.

" Good, it's been getting busy for the City's birthday preparations."

Andre works at the City government office where he lives as head of service.

" You don't get too busy working. Think about yourself too. Your sister's got the good job she wanted. " Andre knows where his father's talking is going.

Without asking Andre as the oldest child to sincerely help the family finances. He knew how hard their parents struggled taking care of him and his sister. His father's large photo printing studio is losing revenue as technology advances.

People who come to print photos are rare. Now they prefer to upload it on social media rather than print it and put it in a photo album. His mother even had to help by selling cakes around the complex, as well as leave it in the stalls. Fortunately, after graduating from S-1, he immediately took the government staff test and passed, so his mother no longer needed to be busy selling cakes.

" Yes father later if I have met my soul mate tancap gas directly wedlock ya."

" How to meet a soul mate if you work continuously. Holidays are also in busy homes dealing with stacked papers. Try that you ask your sister if there are no friends that are suitable for you. " Mom joined in to the chat of the two men in front of him.

" We no longer have to pay for your college or Alex's college. No longer have to pay the cost of Alex, no longer have to give Alex pocket money. So you go get the girl you like to date, buy her a nice present, bring her parents her favorite food, show her that you can make their child happy. " Mother's advice continues at length.

It's not that I don't want to get married just because I think too much about my parents and brother Andre so it's not too confusing the problem. Moreover, he actually knew his brother really wanted to continue higher education, but his sister was the same as himself, not good to burden the family. Though Andre has said that he can finance his sister's college to S-2 though, but Alex refused and chose to work and will take online college at his own expense. He said his salary was now much more than his previous job at a small restaurant hotel near home. So there is no need for donations from your dear brother anymore, that's how he said.

"Yes Father, Mother, Andre will try even harder to find his soul mate. Now that Andre's leaving first huh, have to review the location of the art party." Pamit Andre then passed as quickly as possible.

What Mom and Dad said was true. So where to start, huh?. Do I have to use a dating app?. Think Andre.

The sun was already shining, Alex writhing lazily on his bed. If not for his stomach that is noisy ask in the contents of lazy once he got out of bed. Last night Black Grill was booked by a conglomerate for their son's birthday party. And like most children of the rich who are spoiled a lot of demands and demands of the princess for her birthday party. As a result, all Black Grill staff in the afternoon must work rods, even heavier than the opening of the restaurant yesterday. All of Alex's body still feels sore and tired even though he has slept long enough.

He lazily walked towards the kitchen. At the time, I was busy preparing my father's lunch. It's customary that you take lunch to the photo studio and have lunch with Dad there.

" Day Ma'am, "greet Alex while scooping the rice onto his plate.

" Kasian's daughter is still tired, "

" Yes yesterday there was a spoiled Princess who really knew how to use her father's money and power, "the nagging Alex confided in his mother. He always shared stories about his guests whether it was good or annoying. And suddenly Chris's face appeared in his head. It's been a week since the incident at the playground passed, since then Alex never again met Chris. Either he doesn't come to the Black Grill anymore or he comes when Alex's working hours are over. It was impossible for him to ask the other staff if Chris had come to the restaurant, it would have looked suspicious. Why am I suddenly asking about a guest I never even served.

" Mother's Cuisine is the best in the world. Cuman still tired of Bu hehhehhe, "Alex devoured his food quickly so that his mother did not suspect.

" Today you have a show? "

" No ma'am there. Most in the house. "

" If so later join Mother yes, there is a small reunion that same friends play mother when school first. "

" Mom, what time is it?."

" At noon about 5 o'clock. His place in the Mentari mall at Cafe Starluck, "sahut Mother called your favorite coffee cafe Alex.

" Mommy left first yes, your father's kasian must have been rumbling in his stomach, " said Mom.

Finish eating Alex immediately shower so that his body feels fresh and then fall on the sofa while watching TV.

It's not good to have a holiday on office days, the two friends hanging out, Ratna and Stefi holiday Saturday and Sunday, as well as his dear sister, he said,because they are all office staff so the holidays are Saturday - Sunday. Unlike her who had holidays on Monday and Tuesday. He was very happy because it must be exciting holidays when people even start working and school again. But it wasn't as exciting as he thought.

..............

As planned, Alex and Mom go to a reunion. Who came only 6 mothers his mother's age and they came alone, only his mother who came to bring children. So Alex is a gossip listener for mothers.

In the midst of the endless talk of mothers Alex sees a familiar figure in the distance.

This handsome, broad-shouldered tall man who had filled his head this past week seemed to be coming out of the restaurant which was none other than the 2nd branch of the Black Grill.

Chris?. Why is he here, what does he like to eat in the Black Grill?. What maybe this week he was invisible because he is now always eating there. A thousand questions and hypotheses filled Alex's brain.

"Alex must be bored with the mothers gossiping, "said aunt Rini saw Alex who seemed busy with his thoughts. Only his body was here but his mind was out of nowhere.

"No aunt, that's not it. Ma'am I saw the old cement outside, I'm sorry I want samperin because it's been a long time and I lost contact with him."

" Yes there the spit will be gone, "Mom gave permission.

" So the reunion is also rich we are, "sahut aunt I don't know what his name is Alex forgot.

Alex walked in haste, but the figure in his car was already invisible. If only he had seen it turn in the direction where Chris exited from the Black Grill might still be overtaken. Even so Alex did not immediately give up he went around around, but the results were nil.

Coming home disappointed and full of question marks, Alex did not really enjoy the rest of the day. Her mother, who thought that the person her daughter saw at the mall was her schoolmate, advised Alex to ask other friends who knew they had contacts. Alex just agreed.

The next day Alex spent his last day hanging out in the Mentari mall, around Black Grill. And again - again his efforts this time in vain. He could not sleep because he was busy thinking of ways to find answers to all his questions. Finally he forced himself to sleep because tomorrow morning he should not be late to work, as well as the place where he would start his search for answers. After some time he forced to close his sleepless eyes, he finally fell asleep due to the fatigue of thinking.
