My brother, my destiny

Childhood

"We..." Frisco looked at Gemini for the woman to explain to her husband.

"Frisco is my cousin. Do you remember Tommy? Tommy hugged me and that's why you say I'm a cheap girl? Frisco's his brother" Gemini introduces Frisco to Jacob.

"Wait on! You mean the one who hugged you back then was your cousin?" Jacob did not believe what he heard. That means he has misunderstood the woman who has been his wife all this time. But why does Gemini not intend to explain anything? Even Tommy was not present at their blessing event at that time.

"Right darling" Gemini smiled, holding Jacob's hand.

"You must have misunderstood my brother and Gemi! That's why you're so surprised" Frisco smiled sweetly.

"I'm..." Jacob could not continue his words because his wife forbade him.

"Fris, the best seller here dong" Gemini smiled at her cousin.

"Indonesian drum dong. Did you eat Indonesian rendang in America?" Frisco chuckled at Gemini's request.

"Lo seriously here rendang to be a best seller?" Gemini didn't believe it.

"The touts in this cafe for heavy food are best seller yes rendang" Frisco again reassured.

"That's right, I just ate rendang two days ago and Riska's aunt cooked" Gemini said while Jacob remained silent.

"Yes, what if I pesenan this time I mix and match for you?" The Frisco spirit. Gemini looked at Jacob for approval.

"May" Gemini nodded enthusiastically after getting permission from Jacob.

"Okay Mr and Madam please wait for ya" Frisco also said down.

"Gemini, why didn't you explain back then that man was your cousin?" Jacob asked with an annoyed look.

"Because you won't believe it, baby. It's free for me to explain at the time, you didn't like me so whatever I said at the time you wouldn't believe" Gemini smiled and held Jacob's hand on the table.

"Oh, don't think about anything. The important thing is that we now live our marriage and we assemble our own love story" Gemini smiled again. Jacob only realizes that his Gemini likes to smile at him unless Gemini is upset with him. Jacob went back to neutralizing his thoughts and went back to talking whatever they could.

"How does Frisco work here?" Jacob asked curiously.

"I don't know either. I did know he was in America for three years, but I really didn't know he worked here and was very close to me. Our age difference is not far, I was close to Tommy but Frisco was my playmate since childhood" Gemini smiled anxiously considering his childhood with Frisco.

"The order came" Frisco came up with a push-table from behind the elevator because it was impossible to use the stairs.

Frisco arranged all the food he brought to the table in front of Gemini and Jacob. Everything looks so delicious, one of which is the spaghetti rendang and steak saos balado that Frisco mentioned.

"Please try" Frisco pulled up a chair and sat down between the two.

Gemini and Jacob began to taste one by one the food Frisco brought. Because Frisco only brought one portion each for each menu, so Jacob and Gemini had to exchange.

"This bad boy" Gemini gave his thumbs up to Frisco.

"Obviously, it's all my ingredients and my cooking" Frisco snobbed his cousin.

"Take a. The vow! I worked here for two years, and the owner was Ricky and his wife. You should still want the same Ricky who used to be so geeky. My classmate, your upperclassman" Frisco explained.

"This serious Ricky's got bullet glasses? Oh my..pantesan the thing is he was a very nationalist first" Gemini back to pay attention to the stuff around them.

"Take a. And I work here as a side to deepen the knowledge that I get from campus" Frisco raised his eyebrows.

"Ecchem..." Jacob cleared his throat from feeling ignored earlier.

"Pfft.sorry dear so ignore yourself. You see, I haven't seen this man in a long time" Gemini grabbed Jacob's hand and kissed him to persuade the man who wasn't actually angry, just awkward to feel ignored.

"Frisco, can you tell me a little bit about my wife's childhood?" Jacob looked at Frisco expectantly.

"He didn't tell you?" Frisco asked in confusion.

"He doesn't want to, rather he always reasoned he forgot about his childhood" Jacob deliberately looked at Gemini in annoyance. Frisco was silent looking at Gemini as if something was troubling the man's mind.

"He forgot all about his childhood. But I tell you a little bit" Frisco looked at Gemini with a hard-to-understand look. Gemini sticks her tongue out at her cousin as if she's not at all shy or concerned when others unpack her childhood which in fact is a shame for some people.

"He was this old time SD naughty once like a boy. What men do, they want to do too. You know, when me and my friends climbed up the school fence to escape, he forced his way in. As a result I scolded Aunt Lydia all out" Frisco laughed telling the story of Gemini. Jacob also laughed, although not as good as Frisco.

"There's something worse" Frisco held onto his cramped stomach.

"What?" Jacob asked curiously.

"She loves picking other people's mangoes. Whereas in his old house they had two mango trees that bore fruit. But somehow he likes to steal the mango of another neighbor. Tomorrow he would ask his father to pick their mangoes and then distribute them to the neighbors he stole the fruit" Frisco shook his head and laughed again. Jacob smiled at his wife while Gemini looked down embarrassed. Wanting to stop Frisco's curse mouth was already impossible. Gemini's childhood disgrace is Frisco's hobby.

"And you should know! It's really funny, he also used to steal mangoes at our school. Once he complained, he said he had been caught when he was going to take a school mango. But he didn't know who the man was and he immediately ran away" Frisco returned laughing out loud but this time not with Jacob.

His face turned tense, unlike earlier who enjoyed Frisco's story so much. This time he looked at Gemini who could only look down and enjoy the food.

"It's a pity that he will never be able to remember it all" Frisco's expression changed this time and his laughter stopped. Jacob watched Frisco's face turn sad, not cheerful and happy as before.

"Why can't he remember?" Jacob asked curiously occasionally glancing at his wife alternately with Frisco.

"That's..."

"Chef Frisco, I'm sorry to interrupt but someone's looking for you" a girl in a cafe uniform called Frisco.

"Ah, well I'll get down" Frisco smiled at the waiter and the girl went back down.

"I'll go down first. You guys continue to eat" Frisco smiled and then went downstairs after shuffling Gemini's hair.

"Are you really that girl, Gemini?" Jacob recalled his first love.
