Khanza and Gracio

10. That song....

Happy reading...!!!!!

Rara, who was looking for a hotel kitchen, got lost in the hotel ballroom. His ears heard the sound of melodious singing from that space. He took his foot to the ballroom. Her favorite song as a child, "Put Letters for a Brother".

He felt interested in the song, plus the melodious voice of the singer. One of the songs that Cio sang when his brother was already in Europe.

Rara continued to walk while enjoying the song until she was unconscious at the entrance.

He was shocked and aware of his delusion when he was detained by a reception consisting of several women and men wearing the same uniform.

The receptionist did not allow her to enter due to her appearance, and was unable to show her the invitation card when requested. They thought Rara was a hotel guest going to the target.

Rara understands that. Procedures must be followed by guests. Because this is a big and luxurious event belonging to the upper class and its guests are important people.

Rara apologized and immediately turned around. As he walked 10 steps, a call stopped him.

"Miss Rara, please forgive those who don't know about you" said the hotel manager who saw himself walking away from the ballroom. Fortunately, he still saw Rara after getting information from the hotel's CCTV monitoring room. She was told that Rara was standing in front of the ballroom entrance. Hunt him down he immediately stepped swiftly towards this place.

"They are right, not wrong. They just carry out the task. You don't have to apologize like. I'm it's okay. Excuse me first." said Rara.

But his steps stopped again.

"Oh, where's the hotel kitchen?" tanyakanya.

"Hotel kitchen?" the hotel manager was a little surprised.

"Yes.I want to go there!" answer Rara.

"Sorry miss, if I may know, why are you in the hotel kitchen? Do you need anything? Just tell me, we'll get her ready and drive her to your room!"

"I don't need anything. I just wanted to meet the chef who cooked the fried rice I ate earlier" Rara said.

Hotel manager was surprised.

"If only to meet her, you don't have to bother going to the kitchen. Let me tell him to go to your room."

"Ah no. I deliberately went down to meet him directly in the kitchen. Just look at the way he cooks, and what spices he uses! Can you take me to him?"

The manager is confused as to how. Because the one who made the food was his own boss, the owner of this hotel, Ryu Deva Mayandra. Does he have to contact his boss to convey Rara's wishes?

He himself was confused why his boss was bothered to make fried rice for this girl while this hotel had a reliable and quality chef.

The first time his boss went down to the hotel kitchen and made food for hotel guests, Rara. Many times this hotel has been visited by important and classy guests, but only this time the boss makes food for this one guest.

Who was this girl to make her boss treat her special? what is the relationship between them? When this girl was lost in sight earlier, her boss was very anxious. Looking for Rara to and fro in panic, worried that something might happen to this girl. Until they get angry because they are slow to know the whereabouts of this girl.

But in her vision, Rara did not know Ryu. Because Rara does not know that the owner of this hotel is Ryu. While the boss knows very well about Rara. The boss even told them to serve this girl well to be at home and comfortable staying at this hotel.

And right now, Ryu was inside the ballroom fulfilling the wedding owner's invitation. Also greet other important invited guests who are friends and business partners after knowing the whereabouts of Rara who is looking for a hotel kitchen.

Did he have to contact his master to inform this girl of his wishes?

While her master told them to keep the fried rice maker a secret for Rara.

"How is this?" the manager is getting confused.

"It looks like you're busy with the show. I'll go alone to see him. I won't interfere with your work. Just tell me where the kitchen is, keep the name of the chef. And please call her, tell her to wait for me at the kitchen door, so I don't have any trouble finding her when I get there" Rara said, looking at the manager's confused face. Maybe this manager is busy with celebrations in remembering his position as the manager of this luxury hotel. Rara did not bother.

The sound of music reverberated from inside the ballroom.

Rara who was waiting for the manager's reply directed her gaze to the entrance of the ballroom. He was interested in the sound of the music.

A few seconds passed the voice of the singer began to sound beautiful. The sweet voice of the same person earlier, a man.

"This song....!" rara reminded me something.

His face immediately turned cloudy hearing every verse of the song entitled, "My Dearest Brother.

A song that Cio used to sing to him when they were kids.

To you my cute little sister.

I promise to take care of you.

For you my dear sister.

I am thankful God sent you.

Unknowingly Rara stepped towards the ballroom door leaving the manager who was again confused by her attitude. He immediately followed Rara from behind. From afar he gestured for the receptionist to let the girl in.

Rara continued to enjoy the song and forgot about the performance.

"Who sings it?" his inner. The voice sounded familiar to his ears.

We're not forever.

Will always be together.

But our hearts are forever united.

Until we grow up.

Pursue our dreams.

Rara sighed sadly hearing that.

He entered without hearing the reception's polite greeting. This song touched his heart. As if to be addressed to him. The shadow of togetherness she and Cio as a child danced in her mind. This song is always sung by Cio before he will go to study in Europe. Sing Cio to entertain himself for not wanting to go to Europe.

That's how I'm gonna control you.

We may feel tired.

But never give up.

We will not always be together.

But our hearts are forever united.

Until we grow up.

Pursue our dreams.

"Sister Cio," he muttered sadly remembering Cio. Both eyes glazed. He increasingly quickly stepped towards the stage that was in front without caring about the gaze of some of the guests who saw strangely himself. Various bad words came out of their mouths talking about his appearance. In the interlude of small laughter and mocking gazes. His indifferent and indifferent attitude with his appearance that goes into this big wedding. Rara doesn't care about their judgment.

"Why did this girl get in?" they said they asked each other. Seeing the appearance of Rara from her clothes, the hair in the original Cepol, to her feet that wear slippers to sleep.

Getting closer to the stage, Rara broke through among the women who watched the man sing melodiously. Rara did not care about their strange gazes that were mixed with annoyance because carelessly entered to take a place and stand parallel to them. The women did not focus on Cio anymore and instead looked at him with a look of dislike.

Rara wanted to see who this man was. Who were singing in a position to turn their backs.

We're not always gonna be together.

But our hearts are forever united.

We are always connected in prayer.

God will take care of both of us.

Even if we grow up after our dreams.

Song ends.

Slowly the man turned his body forward. His eyes were immediately drawn to Rara who stood exactly a few meters in front of him mingling with the other guests. Rara looked at him with a sad look. Even at the sight of it, the eyes were red, and wet with tears. The man who was none other than Cio immediately turned his gaze in the other direction. Avoiding the look of Rara's eyes because he was unable to see her sister's sadness. Cio deliberately sang their little song to attract Rara when he found out this girl was heading to the ballroom.

The sound of the guests' applause took his eyes off Rara. He immediately smiled as a thank you for the applause and praise for his voice.

Rara sighed sadly, apparently not her brother. Just someone else. The man who was his new neighbor in the upstairs room. Rara's tears are flowing. He immediately turned around and slowly stepped up. His heart ached, his chest was also tight. There's no way that guy's her brother. There was no way Cio would ever remember that song again. Because Cio had forgotten himself a long time ago.

"Mr Ryu, who was this song for? it seems to be for someone in your childhood! You are so sedentary when you sing it." asked the MC. Her voice echoed throughout the room and was heard by Rara.

"Well, that's for my sister. A song we used to sing together when we were kids. I met a girl who reminded me of her. Because that girl is after my sister right now!" cio.

"A girl? who's she?" MC asked back.

"Sweet teenage girl. I don't know his name yet because we just met earlier and haven't met.But I know where he lives. She's my only neighbor upstairs" Cio said as he stared at Rara's back.

Rara heard his words in between her steps. He knew the neighbor Ryu meant was himself.

"So you sang that song to reminisce about your childhood?"

"really so. Every time I miss him. Although far away and separated for a long time, I never forgot about it. He has always been in my heart for now and forever. He's my only brother. There's nothing else."

Rara's steps slowed down hearing that word.

"It's really lucky that girl got a big brother like that guy!" mumbled wailing.

"Why can't sister Cio be like her? Though my brother has promised to continue to love me even though far away, will not forget me. And promise to come home soon to see me!" mumbling back. Her tears are flowing again. Rara went back faster because she could not stand her crying anymore.

"It looks like you love your sister very much, Mr. Ryu." the MC said.

"Of course I love him. Love him more than myself."

"Waoww, you're really an amazing sister." the guests clapped and clapped in admiration.

"May we know what your sister's name is Mr Ryu?"

"Of course I can. Her name.... The khanza!"

Rara's steps immediately stopped immediately hearing the name, Khanza? muttered.

Rara was surprised, staring unblinkingly ahead. Silence as a statue. Just his breath hunting fast.

"Why can my sister's name be the same as my little name given to sister Cio?" his inner.

A few seconds passed, he turned to look at Cio who was still talking to the MC. Seeing the man who was obstructed by the guests.

"We believe you love him so much, Lord Ryu. That's why you named this hotel by using its name, right? Khanza Hotel!" said the MC.

Cio nodded while looking silently at Khanza who was looking at him from afar.

"O Lord Ryu, we pray that the relationship between you will last forever despite being hindered by distance. I am personally excited and proud of you. Once again you are a great and wonderful sister." the guests re-clapped.

"Ryu. Not Cio. It might just be our same name." Inner Rara heard the man's name.

"Beware Rara, you are not the only one named Khanza in this world. There are thousands and even millions of people using the same name!" rara's inner self awakened to stop hoping that Ryu was Cio. Because that man is not Cio, but Ryu.

Rara turned back and stepped slightly running away from the place. Her tears flooded both of her cheeks. He cried out from the spacious and luxurious room. Running to the elevator took him upstairs. After arriving at his room, he again cried loudly to let out the burden of his sadness.
