"Rajendra!" call a hijab-wearing little girl to a handsome boy who walks cool-ass.
"Wa'alaikum hail Aruna" said the boy named Rajendra.
"You okay? How's Aunt Thara?" tanya Aruna was worried because almost two months ago her classmate was kidnapped by bad people and even her bodyguard was killed in front of many people including her.
"Alhamdulillah good. Aunt Thara is also good" Rajendra replied as she entered the classroom.
"Rajendras. Ready to go to class?" ask Miss Yulia, the homeroom teacher of Rajendra and Aruna.
"I'm so ready!" rajendra replied sure.
"Are you sure?" ask Miss Yulia again.
"Positive!"
"If that's so, welcome back Rajendra."
Rajendra smiled knot.
Ten Years Later ...
Rajendra walked wide to meet his mother, Sekar. His handsome face is really a combination of the father Arjuna McCloud and the mama Sekar Larasati. The 15-year-old was admitted to the Culinary Institute of America along with Abi and Reana, his cousins who were admitted to MIT majoring in physics and Columbia University majoring in economics and quantitative economics.
"Mamaaay! I accepted this at the CIA!" rajendra shouted excitedly.
"What's? You want to be a CIA agent? What about your dreams of becoming a chef?" sniffle from the kitchen.
"Ih not the Central Intelligence Agency but the Culinary Institute of America, mamaaaa" Rajendra said.
Sekar also came out of the kitchen while bringing a large bowl of rib soup favorite son and husband. Rama, the youngest, seemed to follow the mother carrying a large teapot filled with lemon water.
"Kok mas Jendra can know acceptable? Kan yesterday made baklava fail" kekeh Sekar who most likes to tease his eldest son who does aspire to be a chef like Oomnya Aidan.
"Ish mom. Yesterday baklava failed because Runa bothered me to keep fussing about entering Cambridge or Oxford." Rajendra helped her set the table.
Sundays like this, the McCloud family used to entertain the servants so the four of them could enjoy time together. In fact, not infrequently, the four clean the house while sorting out items that have not been used but are still worth to donate to charity.
"Mas Jendra's going to America?" rama asked as he poured the lemon water into the four glasses on the table.
"Yes dik. I want to be a professional chef so I have to be a school chef."
"Who's going to America?" ask Arjuna who just cleaned his office space while carrying a cardboard box containing garbage.
"Jendra is mas. Accepted at the Culinary Institute of America" Smile Sekar.
Arjuna looked at his eldest son. "Seriously you boy?"
"Seriously it's pa. I have registered, have written entrance exams and practice even via online. Papa signed the parental consent application." Rajendra stared horror at Arjuna. My dad's not senile, is he?
"Oh that app. So, you're serious about school in New York with the twins?" ask Arjuna while sitting down after putting a box of garbage in the corner of the kitchen.
"Then the twins?" ask Rajendra confused.
"hey are. Abi and Reana also enter college with you despite the campus differences. You are a minor so tomorrow if you go to college you have to stay at Blair's mansion with Opa Duncan and Oma Rhea. Or you live with Aunt Kaia and Oom Rhett when Blair's mansion on Staten Island is far away."
Rajendra is a manyun. "Should it be pa? With Aunt Kaia?"
"hey are. You are still 15 years old! If you don't want to, you go to London. How's it?" Arjuna looked at his son's handsome face.
Rajendra nodded.

"So Rajendra was accepted into the CIA?" kaia asked as Arjuna made a video call.
"Yes, he was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America and his college is not far from your penthouse in Manhattan."
"Jendra campus in the Hyde area is not far from here anyway, Jendra can be the same as Reana departing to campus together because Abi has to fly to Massachusetts" said Kaia Blair.
"Crazy, Abi. Could be accepted at MIT majoring in physics the same as Levi" kekeh Arjuna. "When looks like a thug judes!"
"Junejun! It's good to say Abi is like a hoodlum judes!" kaia protested not to accept her handsome son was said to be a thug.
Arjuna.
"Eh Jun, if Jendra goes to New York, what about Aruna?" kaia asked considering that her niece was already dating from Kindergarten.
"Wooh! I forgot my future ghost!" Arjuna pulled his eel. "Yes, what about Aruna?"
Kaia simply shook her head while twitching her temple. "Two drugging!"

"Are you going to New York?" ask Aruna judes.
"And I told you, once I graduated High School straight to the Culinary Institute of America because said Oom Ai, all of you to a brutal campus let me learn from scratch. I have been self-taught from my mom, Oma, Oom Ai, Aunt Thara and Aunt Stacy. So I took the formal there." Rajendra looked at the hijab-wearing teenage girl while sipping Aruna's tea.
"Why not just in London?" ask Aruna again.
"I'm..." Rajendra.
"I what?" cecar Aruna was anxious to see the handsome teenager before her.
"I don't get it.." he grinned.
Aruna gawking. "Seriously? That right? His nephew Aidan Blair, a famous chef throughout England and the world, not accepted?"
"I didn't get away at Le Cordon Bleu, Runa. Seriously!"
"Why can't you escape?"
"I'm late to wake up.." grinned Rajendra. "So it's an hour late and it's been crossed out."
It feels like Aruna wants to cremate Rajendra so upset. "Aren't you putting the plug on?"
"Pair but the digital clock I threw at the wall."
"Tante Sekar didn't wake you up?"
"Wake up but I'm sleeping again."
"Keep you awake?"
"Diguyur mama" chirped Rajendra.
Astaghfirullah Al - Adzim! It's anaaakkk!!!
Plaque!
Aruna pats Rajendra's jidat. "It's really you!"
"Duh! How do I make my speech?" Rajendra stroked his jidat.
"You are lhooo!" Aruna stood up. "Already, anterin I'm home! I've been darting with you for a long time!"
"Darting or darling?" rajendra seringai.
"Aahhh! Let's go!" Aruna shakes Rajendra's shoulder. Both are currently at RR's Meal after Rajendra finishes helping Stacy make pastry.
"You want to go home?" ask Aidan.
"Yes Oom. We go home first" said Aruna.
"Be careful you guys. Oh, Jendra, congratulations on graduating from the Culinary Institute of America. When's departure?"
"God willing next month."
"So you split up, huh,?"
Rajendra rolled his eyes lazily. Her cousin's most annoying sister came.
"Hello Direndra."
