Handsome Chef Heart Enthusiasts
Chapter XXI (Love Adriana Agatha)
The day I was waiting for has arrived. The day where I add new experiences, new knowledge even to new candidates. For the next fourteen days, I would go every day to Mas Manis' house to teach her to write novels. Yeah, the deal is like that. After I finished teaching him how to write a novel, April 14th-April 30th was his turn to come to my house to teach cooking.
The hour hand has shown at 09.00 WIB. It's time I went to Mas Manis' house. Of course I went there not without empty but carrying Karjo – my favorite netbook and book 1 Month 1 Novel? Who's Afraid! – writing guides I've published.
“Wait!”
My steps stopped when I heard Adenna's scream. I turned my body. “What the hell is Den, you so yell that?”
“Someone wants me to talk to you. Important!”
My forehead winches. “Don't tell me you want to say love to me! Oh my god. I'm still normal,” I said while showing a look of shock.
“Yeee .. ngaco. I am also normal times. I want to talk about Ma'am Inu and admin Arsha Teen.”
“What's with the two of them?”
“Mbak Inu today can not enter work because his son in the village entered the hospital. Admin Arsha Teen has been on maternity leave. Means Arsha Teen and Arsha printing off right as long as you exchange profession with Mas Sweet?”
“Enak is a holiday. If those two attempts are put to rest, what do we eat? Not to mention paying home installments, electricity and others.”
“That means you inevitably have to replace the task of AT admin, the task of Mbak Inu and cancel the silly idea of exchanging professions with Mas Sweet.”
“That's even more impossible for me. You see, I am the same Mas Manis has signed a letter of professional exchange agreement on the stamp duty. If one of them cancels the agreement, it must pay a fine of compensation worth 10 million rupiah. You want to pay the fine for the compensation?”
“How do you want to dong?”
I bit my lower lip. It's my habit to think hard about finding the best solution. “The only path is you who replaced the duties of Mbak Inu and admin AT.”
“Loh, how am I? That's not my job!”
“But you can do it?”
“Iya. But ..”
“Nothing buts. If you do not want to replace the duties of Mbak Inu and AT admin, tomorrow I book a plane ticket for you to go home and do not need to be my manager again.”
If I were to say such a sentence, I'm sure Adena would never dare to refute my orders again. Since the solution had been found, I left Adeena in a manyun condition. I had a bad idea in my head. I took the smartphone from the sling bag.
The jeret!
In five seconds I managed to capture Adeena's manyun expression. “Woy, I'm again kelso why you photos?”
“Make mementos. Hahaha.”
I sneered to run into the car before it was picked up by Adeena. Honestly, I also feel bad about giving up work that is not Adeena's job. But what else. The exchange of professions with Mas Manis is also important. Especially important for my love future. “Adeena, sorry I made you sprain today. I'm sure someday you'll thank me for what I did today,” muttered me before the gas tank drove the car.

The first day Chef learned to write a novel
The love of Mas Manis for his homeland deserves a thumbs up. Evidently in the middle of the city of Yogyakarta, he built the traditional house of Banjar South Kalimantan. The name of the building is Rumah Bamungan Tinggi.
Rumah Bamungan Tinggi or Rumah Ba-Bamungan Tinggi is one type of house Baanjung is a traditional house of the Banjar tribe in South Kalimantan and arguably the icon of the Banjar House because this type of house is the most famous for being the mascot of traditional houses typical of South Kalimantan province. In the palace complex Banjar a long time ago the building of the house of Bamungan Tinggi is the center or center of the palace which became the palace of the king's residence (javanese: kedhaton) called In Sirap (Javanese: ndalem) which was in front of the house was built a Seba Hall in 1780 during the reign of Panembahan Batuah.
Rumah Bamungan Tinggi similar Betawi tardisonal house called Rumah Bapang[1], but in Rumah Bamungan Tingghi built with stage construction and has anjung on the left and right of the building.
In short, I was welcome to Mas Manis enter his house. My eyes are keen to pay attention to every detail of Mas Manis' house. Who knows, it could be the setting of my new novel.
From what I see, the high ridge house has characteristics: Sindang Langit Roof without ceilings, the stairs Rise is always odd, Pamedangan given the surrounding field with Rasi Cage carved with floral motifs.
Construction of traditional Banjar house or ba-anjung house made with wood material. The natural factors of Kalimantan which is full of jungle forests have given them abundant construction materials, namely wood.
The main construction of the traditional Banjar house can be divided into several parts, namely: The body of the building that extends straight forward, is the parent building. Buildings attached to the left and right are called Anjung. A high taper roof ridge is called a High Ridge. The roof ridge that extends forward is called the roof of Sindang Langit. The roof ridge that extends backward is called the Cloud Hambin roof.
The body of the main building that extends continuously forward is divided into tiered rooms.
I'm not the kind of girl who likes pleasantries. Once welcome to sit in the living room Mas Manis I immediately explained the first lesson of writing a novel not far from the culinary world. In the culinary world there are three things to consider, Presentation, Texture and Taste. In the world of literature, too.
Presentation or commonly called the appearance of a piece of writing lies in the neatness of the – script regarding setting margins, fonts, spaces, tabulations and justify — Customized spelling and proper punctuation. The title is also included in it.
While the texture of a writing that lies in story telling/composing sentences and the preparation of an epic story plot. Last thing about taste. The taste of a writing is dependent on strong character character, conflict greg and spirit. Qoutes can also be a seasoning flavoring a writing.
“OK, until here you want to ask, Mas?” my question while glancing at Mas Manis. The person asked was busy playing HP. As fast as lightning I snatched the HP of Sweet Mas. “Loh, how is my HP taken?”
“Ampun. Just this time I found a super fierce girl teacher. I'm not surprised if the author Arsha Teen nicknamed you as Chef Juna girl version.”
I glared at him. How did he know that writer Arsha Teen called me Chef Juna? “Not much commentary. Now try to explain what I have explained to you!”
“So you explained the first lesson of writing a novel is not much different from the culinary world. In the culinary world there are three things to consider, Presentation, Texture and Taste. In the world of literature, too. Bla-bla-bla.”
I admire and love Mas Sweet more. He has a strong memory. Evident even though he played HP but could explain what I said without any mistake. “OK, until here you want to ask, Mas?”
“Udah understands kok.”
“Then we proceed to lesson two.”
The second lesson is tips on finding ideas. The first thing a writer does before writing a novel is look for a basic idea. The more antipainstream the idea gets cool. As I said before, this section is the major editor's priority, which distinguishes your manuscript from other manuscripts. But unfortunately, many novice writers still have trouble finding cool ideas.
Finding an idea is hard. The idea is the same as sustenance and soul mate. There are times when the idea comes by itself but there are also ideas come if we pick it up first. For those of you who want to pick up ideas, should use the formula BM+BT+BH\=Ide. Okay, I'll explain one by one that formula.
1. BM (Open eyes)
Observing what is in front of your eyes. So in this case you must carry a small book everywhere.
2. BT (Ear open)
Listen to what people around you say.
Sometimes we are too lazy to ignore the curhatan. Especially if your friends like to talk about their men, while you are still single. It's bad, Bro. From now on try deengerin curhatan your friends. Who knows, the curhatan can be used as an idea to make a novel.
Like my novel “Love in the Seven Wonders of the World.” The basic idea came from the curse of Duke Dimas, my former father. He once confided to me about his love story that ran aground because of the myth Arca Urung, Borobudur temple.
3. BH (Open Heart)
Maybe you fell in love for fear of another heartbreak. From now on you have to throw away that fear. Fear will prevent you from achieving success. Nih, I tell you yes, “Sunday whenever true love remains beautiful even though in the end he will face the wound.”
Try to open your heart to start pedekate with a new girl. Through the pedekate you find the unique character of the new girl. Its unique character is quite entered into the character of your novel character. Novels in acc major can be money. Wounds can be beautiful as long as we are smart to process them. Why are you afraid to fall in love?
“Last formula looking for ideas like my nyindkir,” murmured. My ears could hear any sound. “So it's true that infotainment says that you haven't been able to moveon from sexy lips?”
“Yeee. Already ah. What does the former talk about. Make a baper. Mending further to next lesson.”
“Before I continue my studies, I want something to be with you first. You want to make a novel theme and basic idea what?”
“Emang on this occasion I was told to write a novel too?”
“It is free to devour the theory for months if not action nulis novel ya will not be a novelist.”
“I want to make a simple novel. The theme of what happened is a story. I'll write about us. From the beginning we met until we decided to change professions, how good is not?”
A smile on my lips. “Not good anymore but blilian. Well, now on to the next lesson.”
“Allahu Akbar ... Allahhuakbar.”
Only I want to continue the third lesson, the voice of Adhan Dzuhur has reverberated. It is true what people say, if we are with a loved one time passes very quickly. Three hours together, three minutes.
“Mas, we pray Dzuhur congregate, yuk!”
“I've heard a lecture of ustaz, if the wrong congregation of two who are not mahrom then the prayer becomes invalid.”
“Hah? A timing? There are no arguments and hadiths?”
“There. But I forgot the postulate and the hadith.”
“Ya already if so we tell aja Mas Yoga and Adeena come here let us pray the worship of the four.”
“Then I agree.”
My fingers dance on the smartphone keypad.
Adeenaa, you are now also to the house of Mas Sweet. This address is my search location.
Sent to Adeena Sasikirana Arundati.
