Only One Heart
The truth of Todi
“Sorry, interrupt your work. I'm Todi, Head Chef at this restaurant.” Todi introduces himself after Aika puts down her innate dishes to talk to the girl in the laundry room and storage. Apparently the young man followed Aika's steps and handed her unfinished job to another chef. He was really curious about this one. The waiter with a familiar face whose portrait he often sees in the nakas of the cousin's room. Full-fledged. The one being spoken back hesitated. Still confused, how could one of the Chief Chefs of PraResto know his name. “Mmm .. I'm Aika, Chef.” “Quite call Todi only.” Todi. “You ... waiter here?” “I-iya ...” “You know, who is the owner of this restaurant?” “Pak Marcus ...?” aika replied unsure. He did not really hear Nina's story when talking about this restaurant, the owner, and the year of its establishment. Because, all Aika wanted to know was her job vacancy at that time. “You know his son?” “Hah?” Aika was sure, her current face might already be like a bloon donkey with a gaping muluit. Not sure about the question asked by the other person. “What every employee here should know the name of the son of the restaurant owner?” stupid tanya. Todi scratched the nape of the back, misbehaving his own question. “Ya .. I mean, maybe you know.” If you can be honest, Aika thought, this Todi is one of the young men who tried to approach her. But now he is doubtful. Where are there men who want to pedekate, but what is discussed is the genealogy of the family of the restaurant owner where they scavenge sustenance? Just-there! “So, you really don't know?” Todi still asked. Insensitive to the expression of Aika's face that had clearly described her ignorance. “Hehe .. engak, Chef.” Aika nyengir. “Let me ask another waiter, deh!” “Eh, no!” prevent Todi fast, too fast to make Aika more confused and suspicious of the strange behavior of this young man. “Why?” “Yes, as—” Todi soaked his lower lip while escaping the view on the wall behind Aika's back, avoiding the suspicious gaze of the interlocutor and starting to twist his brain, he said, looking for reasons that would be acceptable to Aika's common sense. “As you said. Server need not know.” Ha ... Then, why did he have to ask? Thought Aika, the more she didn't understand.

“Aika. Nareswari Malaika. He's the new waiter at our restaurant!” For a moment there was no answer. The silence for Todi felt long, filled only by the short breath of Purna who was restrained. In the next second, the sound of laughter filled the silence that had been created. The full roar of laughter broke out just like that, ignoring the pair of Todi eyebrows that had almost fused to see his miraculous reaction. “Kok, even laugh, anyway? I'm serious about this!” “Elo .. elo said what was it?” ask Purna among his laughter. He huddled down while holding his stomach which was starting to hurt. “Pffftttt .. don't be kidding, Todi. Hahahahah ..” Todi gave a rough sigh through his mouth. Can't believe the response Purna gave. “Elo wrong people times.” Purna took a deep breath and exhaled it through his mouth, so that his laughter did not continue. However, still, Purna still chuckles because he feels amused by the crisp joke that Todi throws. The full moon knows, Aika is an economics scholar. The son of a family who was. So, how could she possibly want to be a waitress. If true, of course, will get opposition from his parents. “Gue even last time to meet him.” “Keep she said what?” Purna asked amusedly. “Hello, Todi. I'm Aika. I'm Purna's wife-to-be, lhoo .. child who owns this restaurant.” He imitates the voice of a woman and speaks with his lips tilted to the right, complete with hand gestures. Exactly like the usual bentcong in road rolling. “That? Hahahaha ..” Then laugh hard. Instead of feeling funny with the sissy behavior Purna showed, Todi was upset. “Kalo elo do not believe, elo can directly see him behind.” “Ugh! Don't take it all the time, Tod. I trust. Back to work!” Purna expelled in a subtle way, flapping his hands into the air. “Elo will not believe me!” todi toilet while standing. Choose to go from the Purna room if you do not want his blood pressure to rise when faced longer with this stubborn one. After Todi's large tall body disappeared behind the door, Purna's laughter receded slowly. He no longer focused on working. His mind was seized by the news that Todi had brought just now. “What is possible?” mumbled doubt. Exhaling a long breath once more, Purna grabbed the handle of the phone that was in the corner of the table. Pressing the five button directly connected with Mr. Sasto. The Chief Servant of PraResto. "Hello, Sir? Good day .... Can I help you?" greet the voice from across the channel. Hesitating Purna replied. "Good day, Mr. Sasto." He pauses the next sentence with a deep breath, then holds it in the chest, to keep the oxygen stock in order to hear the answer from the person he is now in contact with. "Is there really a new waiter named Malaika Nareswari in this restaurant?"

The wall clock has been pointed at the number 12.15. Purna was made to wait for 15 minutes for lunch this time. I don't know how many times he looked at the black Rolex that was coiled in his right arm. Purna waited anxiously. The sound of knocking on the door sounded, practically making the young man petrified. Purna gulped. Suddenly I didn't know what to do. All he could do was sit glued with a straight gaze toward the brown-painted double door that was still tightly closed, but not locked. The sound of knocking was heard again. Louder than ever. Purna is getting confused. A cold sweat the size of a corn seed fell from the temple, and his hands were suddenly cold. Purna wanted to invite in, but the memory of their quarrel yesterday, like locking the lips of Purna who was about to speak. Until the sound of the knock of the third door, or more accurately Purna call with a bang, is heard. Purna. He could not bear to imagine Aika's stained fingers that would be flushed if he knocked on the wooden door even longer. Taking a breath and exhaling slowly, Purna said loudly, "Come in!" as forcefully as usual. In the next instant, the left door leaf swayed slowly, revealing a beautiful figure in a servant uniform appearing with his head bowed. Door closed automatically. The beautiful figure stepped slowly and stopped one and a half meters in front of Purna's work desk which was in the middle of the room. Purna's heart grew increasingly shaken, but he managed to hide behind his flat facial expression. "Good day, sir!" greet Aika politely. Purna did not answer. He is not ready for this moment to end. Aika very well recognized her voice, Purna sure if she spoke and found her figure here, the girl would not behave like this. So, let it go first. Just sec. Purna was still at home looking at the bashful face of Aika who stood clumsy before him. "Good day, sir!" aika's voice rose by several decibels. Behind the table, Purna desperately held back a laugh. Aika seems to be getting annoyed, Purna so do not have to work on it longer. "Hmmm ...." Purna replied with a murmur. "I was told by Mr. Sasto to take you to lunch" said Aika, kaku. The girl's head was still not lifted, the look of her eyes falling on the dongker-colored carpet that was under her feet. "Just put it on my desk!" he said he was as firm as he talked to the other employees. That instant was also the face of Aika who had originally lowered her head, lifted up. For a moment the girl was silent, the next second, Aika's honey marbles widened when she found the figure of Purna who was still flat-faced. The tray that he had brought, pouring from both hands, made a noise that mingled with Purna's heartbeat. VNAANNG!!! The corner of the young man's lips slightly raised, forming a wry smile. Previously he had expected Aika to be this shocked. But why does it feel so painful. Aika's expression said, as if the girl did not want to see her face anymore. In contrast to Purna who was happy to see the beautiful figure of the idol of the heart. Aika said nothing. Just looking at Purna with his small gaping mouth. Purna sure, whatever the reason Aika works at this place, before the girl did not know about him who is the son of the restaurant owner. And if not mistaken, Aika's facial expression showed deep regret when she found Purna sitting in a chair of PraResto greatness. Is that why Aika met him?
