They were eating together in the dining room.

"Tante, ever since he came home from Eternal Island, Franky's been a freak" Leon said.

"Surprising how Le?" ask Nurdiana.

"I'm confused about the story, anyway the behavior so changed that, continue I also aunty, if the night like to feel like someone followed me in the room, just like the horrors of strange sounds," said Leon.

"Does the Le?" Nurdiana turned her gaze towards her husband.

"Yes aunty, almost every night, my sleep becomes disturbed, never restful.

"What did you hear Le?" ask Abdul Rozaq.

"It's like someone's calling my name, but nobody's, '" Leon replied.

"Oh yes aunt, in Franky's house there are women who live there, meaning he costs near Franky's house, he's very beautiful like an Angel, but I feel a bit strange about him, he's just like her, at the same time as him, I immediately goosebumps aunty," said Leon.

"Maybe you like the woman, so goosebumps when you touch her" Nurdiana joked.

Abdul Rozaq only laughed a little.

"So, what the hell is Auntie, Om, even in the side of the huft," said Leon.

"Partially, you're funny, shaman same beautiful women really even goosebumps," said Nurdiana.

"It seems, for free I confide in the two of them, no one wants to understand, even in the case of joking hem," muttered Leon in the heart.

"Oh yeah Le, what do you plan to do?" ask Abdul Rozaq.

"Not yet to know, just looking for vacancies," said Leon.

"If you want, there are vacancies" said Abdul Rozaq.

"I just look for myself om, later afraid if it has worked, continues not suitable, it is not good to stop, too" replied Leon.

"True Leon Pak said, he is an adult, let him determine his own life path, which is important is not a misstep," said Nurdiana.

"It's okay then" said Abdul Rozaq.

After eating, Leon went into his room.

"Kangen is the same Franky, what is he doing? Want to play to his house, but there's the woman, serem ih, anyways Franky did bring the woman, want her to marry maybe, thank God then, so he's not upset anymore, so he's not upset anymore, but who is that woman? Mysteriously, it looks like something's weird about him, but what's it?" leon muttered in his heart.

Suddenly the cold wind blew very hard and burst into Leon's room.

When Leon's body was cold, Leon went into his blanket, a few minutes later, Leon felt hot.

"What season is it anyway? The weather is sometimes cold, sometimes hot" said Leon.

Because of the intense drowsiness, Leon closed his eyes, so that he slept in his sleep.

Now that Leon had been above the clouds, he was walking around the clouds that stretched before him.

Faintly his ears heard the voice of a little boy calling from behind.

"Leon..."

"Huh? Who called me?"

Leon looked back.

He saw a woman walking towards him.

"Who are you?" leon asked as the woman approached.

But the woman did not answer Leon's words, but changed into a group of tuyul children who were playing in front of him.

Leon was terrified to see them, he finally took a thousand steps, however, the group of tuyul children were chasing after Leon.

"Om, let's play with us" said one of the tuyul children.

"Come om, accompany us all," the tuyul children continued to chase Leon.

"Please!" leon shouted as he continued running.

Suddenly the tuyul was in front of Leon.

they raised both hands forward to strangle Leon.

Leon widened his eyes in fear.

"Don't! Don't come any closer, go y'all, go!" exclaim Leon.

The tuyul got closer to Leon, and Leon was cornered, he could no longer run, because right behind his body where he stood was a very deep abyss, another step Leon fell into the abyss.

The Tuyuls continued to approach, now only a step away they could attack Leon.

"Go from here! Just go! Help u! Help u! Help me!"

"Le, Le, wake Le!" a voice opened Leon's eyes.

Slowly Leon woke up from his sleep and sat down with his legs bent in front of his chest and his hands coiled on his legs.

He saw Nurdiana and Abdul Rozaq standing beside him.

"What dream are you? It's still this afternoon" asked Nurdiana.

Cold sweat on Leon's forehead.

"It turned out to be just a dream" muttered Leon.

"What dream are you, Le?" abdul Rozaq.

"I dream of going to tuyul om" said Leon.

"Le, Le, you're all there, it's broad daylight like this, where there's tuyul," said Nurdiana.

"It's aunty, proof that I dream in tuyul," replied Leon.

"It was just a dream, besides you were mostly sleeping, so yes, the dream is not clear" continued Abdul Rozaq.

"Betul Le, your job is just to eat the same sleep, eat more fat tuh body hehe," Nurdiana chuckled.

"Yes already, the streets ahead there, hanging out with women in the house next door, who knows you get a mate," he lamented Nurdiana.

"Yeee. this auntie is even bull I huft," muttered Leon.

"Yes, we go out yuk sir, in case there's anything screaming, eat it don't take a nap," said Nurdiana.

Nurdiana and Rozak came out of the room, while Leon was sitting on the lip of the mattress, he played his phone.

Leon opened social media, he explored the news, his eyes were rounded when reading some job advertisements.

"Well, a lot of vacancies, which one do I choose?" inner Leon.

Eventually Leon's choice fell into a job that he felt fit for him.

"Masterchef," muttered Leon.

He also dialed the phone number listed under the ad.

"Hello? Good day, how can I help you?" ask a guy across the street.

"Sorry sir, I'd like to ask, are there any vacancies?" Leon asked back.

"It just so happened that I graduated in gourmetry" Leon said enthusiastically.

"Can you make a dessert too? ask the man.

"God can sir."

"Then, tomorrow I wait at the Merpati Hotel in the city of L, to do a series of tests first" the man ordered.

"Okay sir" replied Leon.

Call ended...

Leon exited the room and walked towards the main room, where his aunt and om were watching television.

"If I work as a Masterchef how is Tan? um?" ask Leon.

"Well, may you get vacancies where?" ask Abdul Rozak.

"On social media Om" replied Leon.

"Where is it?" nurdiana Timpal.

"At the Merpati Hotel, in the city of L," replied Leon enthusiastically.

"Huh? Hotel Pigeon? It's not that the hotel had a fire a month ago yes" Abdul Rozak said.

"But, in the image ad the hotel is still intact building Om," said Leon.

"Maybe it has been built again sir," said Nurdiana.

"Yes, yes, yes, it can, but very quickly the Hotel was built," Abdul Rozaq suddenly suspected.

"It could be, the owner hired thousands of reliable builders, so that it is quickly completed, today the technology is sophisticated, so, what the hell is not possible," Nurdiana assured.

"You're right, ma'am, you want to leave when Le?"

"Tomorrow me at the test first, pray only so that I can pass the test, and get accepted work, because the chef's job is a decent salary, more than the office employees, more, what's more if the section makes the main menu the same dessert, like to get tips from customers," said Leon.

"Yes, tomorrow be careful, we pray that you will be successful and accepted for work" said Abdul Rozaq.

"Yes Om, if it works, I will look for costs or rent, it is impossible if I run, in a way, the place is far away," Leon said.

"Yes Le, you're an adult, so you can take care of yourself, we can't keep watching you" Nurdiana said.

"Yes aunty" said Leon.

The next day, Leon woke up and rushed to take a shower, then he wore a white shirt with black trousers in a black suit, adding to the fat man's sweet face.

Leon walked to the dining table, where there was already a tangle of fresh bread with a chocolate topping and a glass of warm chocolate milk.

Leon immediately devoured it to the end.

After breakfast, he said goodbye to her and her aunt, then drove his car to the city of L.

The journey from Leon's house to the city of L, takes quite a long time, approximately three hours.

Along the way it was very quiet, only a few people passed by at the place.

Suddenly there was a black cat, jumping on top of Leon's car, and then down again, Leon can see the scene from the windshield of his car, Leon stopped for a moment.

"Open the cat, play jumping everything, make a surprise" inner Leon.

Leon again continued his journey, again he was stopped by an old man in white clothes carrying a stick, the brother walked bent over.

Leon braked his car, and the old man tapped on Leon's side.

Leon opened the car's glass.

"What's the cake?" ask Leon.

"Sir, you better not continue this journey, go home before it's too late" said the old man.

"Sorry kek, I want to work, this is for my future" Leon said.

"As for the grandchildren, I warned you" the grandfather said.

Then the grandfather walked to the back of the car driven by Leon.

Leon looked up at the grandfather walking.

How surprised Leon was, when the grandfather was already invisible to the trunk of his nose.

"Crazy, grandfather, so fast the way," muttered Leon in his heart, he went back on his way, until he arrived in the city of L.

Leon immediately opened Google Map, after tracing the road according to the existing map, he arrived at a building that read Hotel Merpati.

The building looks so fancy.

Leon got out of his car, then walked inside.

"The atmosphere is strange, yes, or maybe just my feelings," said Leon.

"Excuse me" said Leon.

Before long came out a forty-five-year-old old man, his face pale.

"Have you applied for a job yesterday?" ask the man in a flat tone.

"Right sir, my name is Leon" Leon replied enthusiastically.

Leon shook hands with the man.

"I'm Beni, the manager at this hotel," the man said.

Leon nodded and smiled.

"Now come with me in, I will test you to make some dishes," said Mr. Beni.

"Okay sir" said Leon.

"Beni sir's hands are cold, even though the weather here is hot, his face is also pale, is he not healthy? Ah, I'd better just follow him, hopefully," inwardly Leon.

Leon continued to follow Beni until he reached a room that looked like a kitchen.

"This is some ingredients, try to make Japanese food, because the majority of guests at this hotel like Japanese dishes, do not forget the dessert dishes," ordered Pak Beni.

"Okay sir" replied Leon.

Leon began concocting ingredients to cook into a dish.

He made okonomiyaki Vegetables, meat, seafood and other ingredients added to a mixture of wheat flour and eggs and cooked on hotplates such as martabak, enjoyed with special sauces and mayonnaise.

For dessert Leon make namagashi is a sweetened peanut dough.

An hour and a half, Leon had managed to finish his cooking.

Mr. Beni also entered the kitchen room, then tasted the cuisine made by Leon.

How surprised Mr. Beni, because the food cooked by Leon is very extraordinary and shook the tongue, it also makes dibil.
