My Choice of Woman

Episode 42

Ray was up at two in the morning, he did prepare this thing to make breakfast. Ray came down from his room on the second floor.

The servants were shocked by Ray's waking existence. They were in a hurry to get closer to serve Ray's needs.

“Sorry Young Master, what's up? Why is Mister awake?” ask Mr. Sudiro who saw Ray come down from his room.

“I want to go to the kitchen, please collect all the cooks,” pinta Ray.

“Good Sir!” exclaimed Mr. Sudiro who was astonished by the request of his master.

All the cooks have gathered in the kitchen. They numbered seven. They were also confused as to why this kind of clock Master Ray asked to gather.

“What Mr Ray special guest arrival so we collected here?” ask one of the cooks

“Or don't-don't Mr Ray will fire us?” another cook.

The cook who was noisy became silent for a moment when he saw Ray followed by his loyal servant Mr. Sudiro into the kitchen. All the cooks gave their greetings by bowing their bodies.

“I gathered you all here because I want you to teach me to cook,” Ray said.

The tense situation the cooks felt instantly melted away from hearing Ray's request.

“What?!” Mr. Sudiro was shocked. “Did I not hear wrong? Young Master wants to cook? Couldn't Young Master ask the cook to cook the food that Young Master wanted without having Mister intervene?” continued Mr. Sudiro.

“This time I want to learn to cook,” asserted Ray.

For the first time Ray held a knife and other cooking utensils. This time he'll make a steak. Ray tried slicing an onion. The cooks were a little awkward when Ray was in the kitchen.

“Aaakhh ..!” ray's index finger was injured while slicing an onion, blood flowing.

Sudiro immediately told the waiter to call the doctor. But it was immediately prevented by Ray.

“No need to overdo it, it's just a small wound. No need to call a doctor!” firmly Ray, “Bring me that plaster,” pinta Ray.

One of the waiters brought a P3K box and picked up the plaster for Ray.

Ray continued his activities. He made the steak, and he insisted on cooking it himself, his cooks were only allowed to instruct the cooking steps.

Ray has finished his cooking. He called Mr. Sudiro to taste it.

“Pak Sudiro please taste my cooking, and give an honest assessment,” pinta Ray.

Mr. Sudiro also tasted the cuisine of his young master.

Holy hooch! It feels so bland. It is more suitable for cat food!

Ray saw the look on Mr. Sudiro's face after feeling his cooking, “What's wrong?! is my cooking bad?” ask Ray.

This is not only not delicious, but it is not worth eating!

Ray felt that Mr. Sudiro had lied. Then he tasted his own food. Far from delicious.

Eventually Ray asked to change the ingredients more easily. He wanted to cook fried rice. He remains equally insistent on being helped. Ray wanted to cook it himself. But the results remain the same, fried rice is not the same as the expedition. This cuisine is worse than ever.

Ray felt annoyed, he asked to change the ingredients again. He wants to make omlet. True, once again Ray cooks and the results of his cooking remain the same with a taste that is far from delicious.

Ray is upset that he failed to make one meal for Farah. He slammed all the cooking tools around him. He felt unable to make something simple beautiful.

Suddenly one of the cooks brought other food ingredients, namely bread without skin, chocolate jam and cheese. This cook isn't afraid of Ray's anger. The cook was cooking near Ray. He was very unperturbed by Ray's sharp gaze. The cook finished his cooking.

“Sorry Mr. Ray, I am prepared to cook without permission from the master,” said the cook as he offered a plate of brown toast and melted cheese.

Ray was still silent trying to understand what the cook was doing.

“I'm sure Mr. Ray wants to cook for the girl that Mr. likes. I'm absolutely sure. I suggest Master cook bread like this, I believe that the girl is not like the girl in general, maybe the demonstration is simple. And this chocolate sandwich is suitable for him,” said the cook.

Suddenly Ray's face flushed red because all the cook's words were true, he was learning to cook for someone he liked.

“How dare you speak like that in front of Young Master! Take him out and fire him right now!” exclaim Mr. Sudiro.

“Wait!” Ray spoke up. “He doesn't need to be fired from his job. Give him a bonus,” continued Ray.

“Thank you for the generosity of Master,” The cook bent his body many times a sign of gratitude.

“Please teach me to make bread like this,” pinta Ray.

Farah woke up with her eyes, she cried last night. Farah looked at her phone screen. There is no news of Inspiration. He felt silent gripping his heart. He was ready to go to the store.

Even though he had bathed and dressed well, still Farah's face looked chaotic. He tried to contact Ilham, remaining equally unanswered. Finally Farah set foot towards the stop near the gate of her housing.

How can thinking of someone cause this whole body pain?

***

Ray had finished making chocolate sandwiches and cheese sandwiches. He prepares to clean himself to look fresh when he sees Farah. Ray's already set up a plan for the meeting this time.

Today Ray will not force Farah but he will ask for friendship so that Ray can enter the world of Farah slowly. Given some of this time Farah often ignores Ray because he wants to immediately have Farah's heart without having to bother.

For today Ray has prepared a strategy that might work. It will make Farah used to the presence of a good Ray instead of Ray who likes to be tempted by many women and cruel.

Ray will immediately leave for a stop near Farah's housing. He was driven by a driver. Today Ray has an agenda for a meeting with one of the companies to work together. He did not want to be late to his office, so after dropping off Farah, he went straight to his office.

Ray arrives at a stop near Farah's housing estate. He checked the watch several times to make sure the time. He waited at the stop with a box of eateries containing bread he had made himself and two cups of fresh milk. Ray can't wait to see Farah eating his homemade bread
