Grandpa's Choice Man
In Danger
Arriving at the office, Tiara first escorted Wanda to the lobby. There, Arjuna was waiting for Tiara so Wanda insisted on going to her own room and asked Tiara to stay because her boss had been waiting for her. Tiara glanced at the circular clock in her hand and showed 07.55. He was grateful for not being late but Arjuna's face that approached him looked rather fierce.
"Let's go!" tell Arjuna to snap a finger as a signal for Tiara to follow in his footsteps.
"Where are the other friends going, sir?" tiara asked confused as she did not see any of her team members there.
"They've left. You're late," pressed Arjuna ferociously.
"Well, isn't this eight o'clock yet, sir?" sahut Tiara defended himself.
"I'm the division head and it's up to me to change the schedule. My employees understand me. If I have a schedule of activities, at least thirty minutes before the schedule is ready. I could have started early and it would have been impossible to get past the hours I promised if there had been no emergency reason. You should be proactive if you want to work in my division. I won't say much so learn a lot and ask your colleagues" Arjuna advised as he continued walking towards his car.
"Well, sir," said Tiara bowing her head.
"One more. I don't like delays. I hope this is your first and last delay. In the future, I do not accept any reason, unless it is an emergency" Arjuna said with emphasis.
"Good, Sir. Sorry," said Tiara, feeling guilty even though somewhat irritated as well.
"This time, I thank you because I know the disaster that happened to you this morning," said Arjuna still cuey and opened the door of his car.
"I'm sitting in front here, sir?" tiara asked clumsyly to have one car and sit side by side with the man who was not her husband.
"Where else would you sit? Sitting on the hood of a car is also possible. The important thing is not to be behind because I am not a driver. Just choose which one!" answer Arjuna ketus.
Tiara was confused but there was no other choice because the office car had taken her friends to leave early. Tiara put the bag in the back seat, then entered the steering wheel side seat with doubt and her legs trembled slightly. They also move quickly. When traffic is heavy, Tiara can breathe a sigh of relief because Arjuna reduces its speed. However, just a little silence Tiara goosebumps and Arjuna certainly will not miss to pass in the fast lane so Tiara as if being invited across the racing circuit.
"Sir, can you reduce the speed?" cetus Tiara is anxious despite admitting that Arjuna's driving ability is extraordinary.
"Isn't it more exciting like this? We can catch up with your team and you can join them in the office car" said Arjuna, laughing happily while continuing to drive his car at the maximum speed allowed on the toll road.
Tiara shook her head and did not end up thinking with her boss who was like crazy. Arjuna relentlessly cursed if the traffic was heavy and laughed happily while being able to drive his car like a fidelity. Tiara continued to pray in her heart because she was too worried about her soul that seemed to be darting from the body when Arjuna was struggling. He has resigned to the decree of the Lord if indeed the end is near.
Suddenly, Tiara's stomach felt turbulent. His head began to dizzy, his body began to cool, and cold sweat also poured down his forehead. His hull started to react and wanted to spit out whatever was inside. Tiara held back with all her might.
"Sir, can you stop by the rest area for a bit? Looks like... Uwoookkkk," said Tiara while holding back so that the contents of his stomach did not spill in Arjuna's car. It could be a long problem if it happens of course.
"OKAY. Withstands. There is a rest area. You hold on a second. Okay," said Arjuna suddenly anxious and turned his car to the rest area nearby.
Arjuna deliberately parked in front of the toilet so that Tiara could quickly finish his drunk and not to bother him. After coming out of the toilet, Tiara looked very pale and yellowed all over her body. So limp as if helpless. He walked straight to Arjuna's car which had been opened on the hood of his car.
Tiara sat beside Arjuna with a breath of breath as it was true that her breakfast had all come out this morning. Tiara became hungry and remembered there was still a gudeg that Bayu bought this morning. Suddenly, Arjuna thrust a bottle of mineral water that had been opened lid with a slightly loosened look. Tiara accepted it and thanked him for drinking it immediately.
"Would you eat first? What do I buy?" asked Arjuna suddenly pity.
"What if I eat first?" ask Tiara questions
"Can. There's still plenty of time. The event starts at eleven," replied Arjuna casually.
"Yes already. I ate first, sir. Lemas," said Tiara helplessly.
"No need, sir. I brought food. Before going to the office, I had already bought some food," Tiara replied as she walked to the back seat and picked up a serving of gudeg in the bag.
Good thing gudeg is packed with foodcontainer made of plastic so it is easy to eat anywhere. Tiara sat down next to Arjuna again and ate him up. Arjuna shook his head to see Tiara eating but he understood because Tiara's stomach might be empty because of the vomiting earlier.
"Do you like gudeg?" tanya Arjuna suddenly made Tiara almost choke.
Tiara immediately drank the mineral water placed on her lap, then swallowed her food before replying.
"Yes doyan aja. At first just follow my best friend, but long-time addicted too. Although I prefer rawon," replied Tiara while returning to enjoy her meal.
"I also like gudeg because I was born in Yogyakarta. Since childhood, I have been used to this food. Do you know the Gudeg philosophy?" tanya Arjuna was suddenly interested in telling a story with Tiara.
Dahi Tiara furrowed as she glanced at Arjuna. Then, go back to eating the food.
"No. Does Mr Juna know?" tiara asked innocently without looking at Arjuna.
For a moment, Arjuna gasped to hear Tiara calling him Juna. Some made her mind want to continue telling stories with Tiara.
"This gudeg cooking process has a philosophy. This is clearly illustrated through a serving of gudeg presented with a fairly diverse content but bound into one rich sweet flavor of the spice. Gudeg cooking is understood as a perfect reflection of Javanese philosophy that is full of calm, patience, thorough, and anti-reckless. This is because the gudeg processing process is quite long. Probably, it took almost a day. Cooking this gudeg must be well researched from the composition and quality of the ingredients to be processed. In fact, the small size of the fire was estimated in the cooking process. Quite complicated indeed but paid off with the union of one composition with another that supports each other to enrich the taste but so solid and very appetizing," bright Arjuna is so detailed because gudeg is his favorite food.
"In the same philosophy, sir. Pak Juna often eat gudeg means dong?" tanya Tiara is short but she is very listening to the story of Arjuna.
"Often, now it's rare. Papa's diabetic, so I'm trying to cut down on that too sweet because I'm at risk too. Preventing is better than treating. Yes most if it is really wanted," replied Arjuna smiled thinly while imagining his childhood eating gudeg ternismat cuisine of his late daughter's eyes.
"Oh pity Mr. Hadi," said Tiara while packing his cutlery.
"Cock his love for Papa? You must be covering up your relationship with Papa," asked Arjuna in a search and suddenly fierce.
"Astaghfirullaahoption. Oh my goodness, Mr. Juna. How many times should I explain that I have no interest in fathers. I'm so sorry. That's the one with diabetes, Mr. Hadi. Mr. Juna just cut down on eating gudeg. Do you have pity on Mr. Hadi? The time to reduce eating gudeg alone needs to be pitied?" jawan Tiara is not inexhaustible with Arjuna's character that is difficult to guess. Sometimes serious, sometimes fierce, often strange with his thoughts that are different from humans in general.
Tiara dumped her cutlery in the trash, then returned to Arjuna's car, which was still not covered by the hood of his car.
"OKAY. Can you continue the journey?" ask Arjuna while starting his car.
"Can, Sir. But the speed please just normal or gudeg I will get drunk and lazy to digest," replied Tiara while putting up her sit belt.
"Yes. Ja. Just got drunk. Weak," Arjuna said, smiling unintentionally.
"Yes is already. Mr. Juna also drives his car as a doormat. How can my stomach not refuse? My mind just prays all the way to ask for salvation" said Tiara defending herself with a frown.
From a distance, it turns out that two pairs of eyes are watching Tiara and Arjuna who are throwing laughter at each other without knowing their conversation. Then, he pulled out his phone and managed to capture the moment of the two of them two seconds before the top hood of the car began to close again. The smile of the doer expands perfectly because it sees hope in front of a brighter one.
"Dead you, Tiara!" that guy's circus is full of grudges and hatred.
