"I'm not gonna fuck with you. I promised Mr. Artawijaya to take care of you. Already silent. Just follow. Than you're alone here no friends!" said Cio continued to pull his hand. He had indeed deliberately come to accompany and look after Rara because Yuri was not around.
"I can't go to your room. We just got acquainted. And there's no relationship whatsoever." Rara pulled her hand back.
"I told you you were like my sister. So just consider me your brother. There's nothing you need to be afraid of! Aren't you afraid that some bad guy might come sneaking into your room while you're alone?" looking into Rara's eyes.
"No matter how strict the guard at this hotel is still can't guarantee the bad guys don't come to your room! Although this building is very high and equipped with sophisticated security tools. These criminals are smarter now and have many ways to infiltrate. Especially if they know in this hotel stay a very valuable property owned by Mr. Artawijaya......?"
"Iihh... Don't scare Rara." shouted Rara rather loudly began to fear. Looking at Cio's face made scary.
"Eat him come along" said Cio as he held back his laughter.
He pulls Rara's hand back to see the girl silently frightenedly imagining about her imaginary villain.
Rara grabbed her sleeping kimono shirt and put it on her between their steps. I don't want him to come because he's scared.
They entered Cio's room which was no less spacious and luxurious than Rara's room.
Rara was amazed at the luxury of this room, as well as the beautiful scenery outside that can be seen from the inside. Rara walked down the street observing each part of the room consisting of these two floors. Three-piece bedroom, dining room, living room, living room, living room, roof terrace, balcony which has green garden, pool, gym room and other luxury facilities.
Rara dropped back down looking for Cio who was preparing something in the kitchen. All cooking needs and also the materials requested earlier on the Hotel Manager. All of that until the moment Rara was upstairs.
"Sir, do you know the owner of this hotel?" rara asked so close.
Cio's face frowned at hearing his question.
"Yes, why are you asking her?" tanyanya took a quick look. He already knew Rara's wish from Yuri. Who was eager to meet him, the owner of this hotel.
"Rara wants to see him. Rara wanted to thank him for preparing such a spacious and luxurious room for Rara. But the hotel manager said he was in Australia."
"Continue?" cio said with his agile moving hands slicing garlic, onions, and everything else.
"What are you doing?" tanya Rara saw what Cio did.
"My favorite food!"
"You know cooking?"
"Of course, it's something easy."
"Keep you want to cook what?"
Cio pointed at the cold rice.
"Fried rice." he said later.
"Fried rice?"
Cio nodded and went back to work.
Rara remembered the fried rice she had eaten earlier. Fried rice is delicious and savory even though simple.
"May you help me?" Cio looked at Rara who was standing beside him.
Rara looked at him.
Cio placed the cutting board, knife and onion stem in front of Rara.
"Please slice this."
Rara gawking at the onion stem.
"Rara can't."
"I'll teach you. Rara wants to, right?"
Rara nodded weakly despite doubt as to whether she could do it. He sneezed kissed from this thing. Cio smiled seeing it. He takes a tissue and plugs it into Rara's nose, confused by what she's doing. But finally the girl understood.
Cio immediately stood behind Rara. Poking out his two hands forward past the waist of Rara's left-right side. Holding knives and materials. His position seemed to hug Rara from behind.
Rara is so uncomfortable with their closeness.
"Just be quiet, the finger slit into the knife" said Cio.
"Hand the knife and the material like this!" cio said while practicing.
Rara followed his movements. Then put it on the cutting board. He started cutting slowly and carefully while holding Rara's hand.
Rara who already understood continued slicing after Cio took off his hand.
"Sir, you used to hug your little body like this baby. Now this body is big!" muttered Cio stared at Rara's body from behind. Recollecting the memories of their childhood togetherness. Cio kissed his sister's hair secretly.
Cio was busy daydreaming, not realizing the Khanza slice cut was finished, but the result was huge, not as expected.
Cio laughed to see it. He wanted to criticize but could not ruin the happy face of Khanza.
"Keep, what's next?" ask Rara spirit.
"Will you help again?"
"of course. Come quickly...fast!" rara said excitedly can't wait what Cio will do.
"To my neighbors, let's get started!"
Cio immediately put the frying pan on the stove, lit. Then put margarine three spoons. Keep putting the smooth seasoning. Cio stirring stirring with spatula.
"Rara wants to try! Give it to Rara!" Rara asked for a spatula.
Cio immediately handed over.
"Slow down yeah, it's gonna get hot!"
Rara nodded. He stirred the seasoning just like Cio did. Cio smiled seeing it. This sad face had now turned cheerful. Cio so remembered the memories of their childhood when playing cooking cooking like this.
"Hmmm... fragrance!" said Rara smelled the fragrant aroma of the seasoning.
"Sir.... The season is ripe yet?"
"Had it," Cio nodded. The aroma is already fragrant the sign is ripe.
"Continue?"
"Add chives and slices of chicken meat. Then stir!"
Rara immediately did as she said. Then stirred.
Rara was so excited that she didn't realize her finger was touching the hot frying pan.
"Auuww..." Rara grimaced painfully, the spatula detached instantly.
"Khanza....!" said Cio subconsciously calling Khanza's name out of shock and panic. He immediately took Khanza's hand, took her to the sink and placed it in running water.
Rara herself was shocked to hear her small name mentioned.
"Kok he can tell my little name?" inner Rara. He turned his head slowly looking at Cio who was busy holding and wetting his fingers on the water. The face of this man looked panicked and anxious.
Rara came back in shock as Cio lifted his body and was in a stand on the dining table.
"Wait here, shut up. Don't do anything." said Cio in a hurry. He turned off the stove, then immediately ran to retrieve the medicine box. It wasn't until two or two minutes that he came back with the medicine box. Cio stood in front of Khanza who was still sitting on the table.
"Is it really that sick?" she still panicked. He held Rara's finger. Checking the blister wound. Just not bad. But Cio remained unsettled, let alone seeing the ringing pain on Khanza's face.
Rara nodded slowly while looking at him.
Cio panicked again.
"I shouldn't have allowed you to help." He blows Rara's fingers repeatedly, to relieve the heat and soreness. Cio takes a damp cloth and compresses it on the blistered area of skin to relieve pain and swelling. Cio did it for fifteen minutes. After that, he applied an anti-bacterial ointment. Then it is covered with a sterile, hairless cloth.
"Still sick?" tanyanya looked at Rara.
"It's been reduced." replied Rara slowly still continuing to look at his face. Sweaty face and still look panicked.
"Have repeatedly told you to do things with your heart and do not rush. Look at your finger blistering like that!" cio said rather loudly, a little emotion. Because of guilt and fear of something bad happened to Khanza.
Khanza complained sadly. Both eyes are wet. Not because of Cio's anger, but because Cio said. The words that Cio always said when he was a child first if he had a mild accident while playing and doing something without a heart. A sigh of sadness came out from Rara's mouth. Her tears fell.
Cio was aware of what he was doing.
"Rara, sorry. I unintentionally said loud and angry to you. I was freaking out and so worried something might happen to you. Because I promised Mr. Artawijaya to take care of you. Please don't cry!" she said looking at Rara's somber face.
"Stop crying. I'm sorry yes!" Cio swept both of Rara's wet cheeks.
Rara sobs small.
"So you called me Khanza. You called me by that name!" looking into Cio's eyes.
Cio breathed a heavy sigh, clamoring to call Rara with Khanza. The word just came out of his mouth in panic.
All this time he was not used to the name Rara. Only Khanza. The name given to Rara.
"My sweet sister's brother. I just suddenly mentioned that name because my lips are used to calling my sister Khanza. Maybe it's because I miss him so much that I call you that."
"His attitude and personality are no different from Cio's, but why isn't he Cio's? Why is he someone else? Why is his sister's name the same as my little name?" batin Rara looked at Cio's eyes. Her tears fell back.
