My Cold Chef's

Request Permission

Thara wiped her tears and it was as if nothing had happened then knocked on Rajendra's bedroom door. Her green eyes looked at Rajendra but it was as if they did not see Aidan there.

"Jendra, Auntie said yes. Auntie to your school again sometime. Heals quickly" Thara said as she rubbed the boy's head after walking closer to the edge of the bed.

"Yes Aunty" Rajendra spread his arms and Thara hugged the handsome boy. "Patience to Tan, Oom Ai is fierce but his heart is good" he whispered.

"I know boy. The wrong aunt here" whispered Thara quietly and only Rajendra heard it.

Rajendra tightened his embrace to Thara. "Jendra dear Aunt."

Thara broke her embrace. "Thank you dear. Aunt go home first."

"Who's aunt comes home? Up what?"

"Tante will ask to be picked up by Iffa or not ride Uber alone" Thara replied casually. He had already begun to ply the route from Arjuna's house, Aidan's house and RR's Meal to his apartment.

"Aunty's coming home alone?"

"It's okay. Aunt go home first." Thara kissed Rajendra's head. "Chealing fast." The girl looked at Aidan. "Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Rajendra and Aidan.

After that Thara came out of Rajendra's room while Aidan just stared coldly at the slim body. Rajendra looked at Oomnya annoyed.

"When do you want to go home, why Oom?"

"He's grown up. You can go home by yourself!" answer Aidan cuek who made Rajendra pat his bidat.

"Adults are complicated!"

Thara said goodbye to everyone there and refused to be driven home by Arjuna driver on the grounds that he had ordered Uber.

Duncan headed to Rajendra's room and saw his son chatting with his nephew. Soon the man grabbed Aidan's ear and told him to take Thara home because it was eight o'clock.

"Did papi ever teach you to be a shitty guy? No gentleman? Take Thara home!" nagel Duncan.

"He himself wants to go home alone, why am I the bother? Ask Jendra!"

"You tuh! Take Thara home!" It felt like Duncan wanted to slam his son but considering that he could get gout, the big-bodied middle-aged man also undid his intentions.

"Yeahah! It's because of the papi who told you to!" aidan ogah-ogahan said. Duncan could only shake his head. The bontot is indeed talking about work but about behavior, there is no difference with Rajendra. I'm an adult, I'm still a kid too. Because Rey is manjain!

Aidan then comes out of Rajendra's room amused to see Oomnya being picked on by Opa Duncan as he was naughty.

It turns out that the tradition of menjewer still applies until adulthood huh? Rajendra giggled to see Oomnya put on a jutek face.

"Opa the same Oom mu that baby down first. Jendra equals Cleo ya" Duncan smiles to her granddaughter.

"Yes Opa."

Thara was opening an Uber app near the gate of Arjuna's house when a Range Rover stopped next to her.

"Lake in!" aidan's orders through an open window.

"No need for Ai. I'm..."

"Come in! Don't test my patience Thara!" it was Aidan who made the girl jump in shock.

The girl got into Aidan's luxury car and put on her seatbelt. The housekeeper Arjuna opened the gate and the car went out into the highway.

There was no conversation in the car and Thara glanced at Aidan who was still focusing on the road.

"Don't look at me if there's anything you want to talk about!" said Aidan coldly which made Thara surprised.

Hokkyokuguma is nongol again.

"Thank you." Aidan did not respond. "Thank you for delivering me."

"Ga to GeEr. If you don't tell me, I won't take you home! You're a big boy, you can go home by yourself, right?"

Thara's mouth is open. Jeezoooo!

"Who is GeEr? I'm just being polite" Thara replied.

Thara just took a deep breath. "Can you stop insinuating me?"

"Why? Not comfortable?"

"Yes. Still less?" reply Thara with a satirical tone.

"As far as me!" answer Aidan's childishness that makes Thara almost laugh amused because Aidan is similar to Rajendra when he is snacking.

Thara noticed Aidan's face that looked messy with the thickened bewok there. Like two weeks of not meeting razor blades.

"Aidan" call Thara softly.

"Hhhh."

"Shave it!" thara.

"Why?"

"Not neat. Not the usual chef Aidan Blair."

"What is your business?"

Patience Thara. Sabaaarrr. Facing polar bears must be patient.

"Because I work with you Mr. Blair. And I don't want RR's Meal's face to be ugly because the owner can't take care of himself."

Aidan glanced towards the long-haired brunette girl.

"You said that because of your guilt?"

Thara gawking. "No! About my guilt, it won't go away and it's a sweet lesson for me. But I saw you mess up Ai, can it affect the name of RR's Meal that you're proud of!"

Aidan was silent. He himself also did not know why since the storm with Thara in the workspace Edward Blair in the mansion Blair, he was lazy to take care of his face which is usually neat even with a thin brew.

"Your good looks are gone, Ai" kekeh Thara.

Aidan. "You're trying to tease me so I don't get upset?"

"God! You tuh! Isn't tired of being angry with Ai? Just so you know, after all the work I've done for this Sunday's theme, I'll quit your restaurant even though I'm still at home working there because the atmosphere makes me comfortable. But I'd rather give up than you like this, Ai."

Aidan turns his car into a parking lot in a 24-hour store and parks it. The man removed his seat belt and turned to face Thara. Her blue eyes seemed to gleam furiously and Thara could see her blue getting blue from the reflection of the street lights.

"What did you say? Retreating? After all that mess? Just yummy! Where are your responsibilities that match the contract you made? Is your nature like this? You think that restaurant work is playful? I told you how many times, that's not your playground!" namel Aidan was upset.

"So what do you want Ai?"

"My mother? You asked me what I wanted?" Aidan approached Thara's face. "I ask, you keep working according to the contract you made unilaterally! Just once Thara, just once, you act according to what is written!"

Thara looked at Aidan gently. "Thank you."

"Huh?"

"I was wrong, I admit. And honestly I don't want to part from RR's Meal West End and I'll work according to that contract as long as you allow but if your attitude is like that to me, it's always, wouldn't I rather back off?"

"So you tested me?" Aidan slashed his eyes. Damn it girl!

Thara smiled gently.

"Don't expect me to soften, Princess!"

Thara goosebumps.
