My Cold Chef's

Bonchap - You're So Beautiful

Rajendra sat in the chair where he used to study despite only reading recipe books from his great-granddaughter Opa, Ryu Reeves. His face seemed annoyed considering how Anna was trying to annoy him again.

The handsome teenager's face glanced at a photo he had indeed brought from home. A picture of him as a child with his father Arjuna and his younger brother Rama.

The McCloud Family

Ramah. Rajendra smiled considering his sister who preferred to take care of the plants with the mother. Rama is not interested in cooking but is very passionate about eating and mengamah biak.

Do not-don't be big later even look like Oom Aksara, take care of crops and plantations.

Aruna and her parents were having dinner with Oomnya Levi and Aunt Yanti at a Manhattan hotel to discuss business. It feels like Rajendra wants to catch up but his body feels very tired and he wants to hibernate especially tomorrow has started the semester break.

Rajendra sends a message to Aruna.

📩 Rajendra McCloud : Runa, I sleep first huh. My body is so tired. Tomorrow I'm on semester break so I'm going to your place and we're going for a walk in Manhattan.

A short reply from Aruna came in.

📩 Aruna Lewis : Okay Jendra. Rest up. I'll see you tomorrow.

Rajendra cleans himself, performs Islamic prayers and then rests his body on the bed. Before long, Arjuna's eldest son was asleep.

Reana was checking the schedule for the summer class through her iMac when her phone rang. His forehead creased when a number he didn't know called him.

Who'sisthis? Reana shifts the green button.

"Assalamualaikum" said.

"Wa'alaikum hail, princess" said the man across.

"Ma..mas Guide?" whispered Reana.

"Yes, it's me, princess."

"Do you know my cell phone number?" reana asked a little whisper but afterwards she smiled to herself. My room is soundproof, why do I whisper like a backstreet but not boys.

"I'm finding out, princess."

"Mas Pandu, I'm not the princess."

"For me, you're my princess, Reana."

Reana's face immediately flushed. Gini is like being seduced by a man.

"Dih Mas Pandu tuh." Reana smiled nervously. Good thing regular phone calls are not video calls. I don't know what my face looks like.

"I'm serious Reana. I've never felt this way to any woman. Maybe it's because I'm more focused in my college so I don't think about dating or falling in love. But when I saw you yesterday in Mr. Blair's mansion, I didn't know why my heart was beating so fast."

Same mas. Same.

"Maybe it sounds trivial but I feel that you are my princess, Rea. And I will face all obstacles for your sake."

Reana's stunned. "I'm 17 years old, ma'am. I still want to finish my education."

"I knew. I'll wait for you, Reana."

"But I..."

"Reana, Andreana Anindita Blair O'Grady... I love you. I'm sorry I said on the phone but I can't bear to not say it. Tomorrow I'll tell you directly, princess."

How does he know my full name?

"Maybe too soon huh, princess?"

"Te. thank you" replied Reana who was confused to answer what.

"Thank you for what princess?"

"Thank you for being honest with me."

"I'll send you a song. Old song maybe you haven't heard it yet but I think this song suits you." Pandu sends a piece of the song to Reana's email, which she opens with via her iMac.

You are so beautiful

Nae gaseumae milryeowa seumyeowa dagawa beonjin nae sangcheodo

(Forever you) You are so wonderful

Shirin nae sarangdo nae nae noonmeuldo nae apeun sangcheoreul jusoojo

Neol saranghanda neol saranghanda

Reana's surprised. I've heard this song. The girl tried to remember where she heard it and Reana finally remembered.

Athaghfirullah! The song Ogan Abi sang on Necan Dara's 50th birthday! Reana remembers because Kaia likes to play her Ogan and Necan videos every on her second birthday.

"Reana, have you ever heard that song? If not, I'm not..."

"I know that song! That's Ogan Abi's song for Necan Dara" Reana cut.

"really? I just heard it yesterday by accident and I immediately imagined you."

"Why?"

"Because you're so beautiful, princess."

Reana's face that was normal, turned red again hearing Pandu's words. Whether he was flirting or not, but which girl did not hear such praise.

"Ehem. Do you speak Korean?" ask Reana.

"I can speak Korean, Japanese and German in addition to English and Indonesian of course because I want to apply to Giandra Automotive Co."

Reana gawking. Whahuh? To mama's company?

"Are you sure, mas?" ask Reana.

"Positive! I do want to work at your family's company because I think it's a good company and has a promising career path as well."

Reana. Did mas Pandu approach me because he wanted to work at Giandra?

"I didn't approach you to work for Giandra, princess. I was after working there long before I met you." Pandu sounds honest as it is.

"Don't you want to work somewhere else, ma'am?" reana Goda.

"I've settled there. And may I be accepted."

"Aamiinu. Fight on!" Reana knew to enter the company her mother carried out selection plus strict screening.

This morning Rajendra invites Reana to pick up Aruna. Reana, who is not busy, agrees to go for a walk with her cousin and lover. Moreover, Aruna is a fun and outspoken girl to make Reana enjoy alone with the hijab girl.

"Where is this?" reana asked after they were in a Range Rover car, which this time was driven by Amir. Ian was accompanying Rhett to meet with his business partner.

"Oculus yuk!" bring Rajendra.

"What's that?" ask Aruna.

"Mall but not too full then only after we go to time square. How's Runa?" Rajendra looked back.

"I'll just come on."

***

The three arrived at the Oculus mall and immediately together did window shopping. Aruna goes into a store to buy some accessories and refuses when Rajendra is about to pay for them.

"You pay if you have work" said Aruna sweet.

"But I have money from my pocket money" Rajendra's eyel.

"Wait until you succeed at RR's Meal, and I'll have you morotin" whispered Aruna with a seductive face.

"I don't feel good, do I?" Rajendra Gumam.

"Dibikin is delicious because I will ask for a lot of gold bars" the evil Aruna gelak made Reana and Ian who escorted laugh out loud.

"It turns out that the hijab is only used to cover your greedy nature?"

The four of them turned their heads towards the voice and Aruna's face turned cold. His brown eyes seemed to flash with anger.

"You are also uget-uget! I have exhausted my patience!"
