Rainbow At The End of Longing

38. PDKT Chef Yudha Early Steps

This morning, before leaving for the cafe, Chef Yudha deliberately took the time to visit the hospital to visit Abah Imron. Chef Yudha came by bringing some special food that he cooked himself earlier and also fruits for Abah Imron.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Chef Yudha after arriving at Abah Imron's hospital ward.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered Nisa, Umi Nur, and Abah Imron together.

"Eh, Kang Yudha," said Nisa who immediately got up from her seat and approached Chef Yudha.

"Yes, Neng. Akang came for Abah's jengukin" Chef Yudha said.

"Oh, that's it. Come, Kang. Please," replied Nisa.

Nisa then turned to face Umi Nur and Abah Imron.

"Umi, Abah, this is Kang Yudha. The one yesterday Eneng that story. The chef in his cafe Kang Awan," said Nisa introducing Chef Yudha to Umi Nur and Abah Imron.

"Oh, so this is Kang Yudha's name, huh?" ask Umi Nur.

"Yes, Umi" answered Nisa.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umi, Abah. Introduce my name Yudha," said Chef Yudha introducing himself as well.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, son of Yudha," replied Umi Nur and Abah Imron once again.

"Oh yes, Umi, this is me bring the same food fruits for Umi, Abah, Neng Nisa as well," chef Yudha said, handing over a large enough paper bag that he brought to Umi Nur.

"God's Masya. Thank you very much, son Yudha. But why bother, son?" said Umi Nur sung while receiving a paper bag from the hands of Chef Yudha.

"Name-sama, Umi. No bother at all. I cooked a little more at home, so I brought it to Umi, Abah, Neng Nisa," Chef Yudha said.

"Thank you very much, son of Yudha," said Abah Imron.

"Yes, equally, Abah," replied Chef Yudha.

"Oh yes, Eneng yesterday told me that Yudha's son is a chef in his cafe Awan, huh? Wow, it's worth it to cook like a gini. Hmm, from the smell it smells so good. It must be very good food," praised Umi Nur.

"Thank you very much, Umi. But I'm still not that good. Still learning also so that it can be better," Chef Yudha replied modestly.

"That's the most important thing, son. As long as there is a willingness to learn, success can certainly be achieved," said Umi Nur sage.

"Yes, Umi. I agree with Umi's words," Chef Yudha replied as well.

Chef Yudha, Umi Nur, Abah Imron, and Nisa were both smiling at this moment.

"Oh yeah, how's Abah doing now?" chef Yudha asked Abah Imron.

"Alhamdulillaah is much better, son," replied Abah Imron.

"Change, Umi, Neng Nisa, I'm actually here in addition to visiting Abah Imron, I also get a mandate from the same Cloud Boss Shofi," Chef Yudha began to convey his purpose this time.

Yes, indeed in addition to visiting Abah Imron, Chef Yudha's arrival was also at the same time to convey an invitation from Awan and Shofi to Abah Imron and his family. Although actually, to be honest, Chef Yudha came to see Abah Imron of course at once so that he could meet with Nisa in this hospital as well.

"Amanah of the Clouds and Shofi? What trust, son Yudha?" tanya Umi Nur, representing Abah Imron and also Nisa.

"Look, Umi, God willing the day after that Cloud Boss same Shofi want to hold an aqiqah thanksgiving event for baby Angkasa. And also for the one year of their marriage. So Boss Awan and Shofi, through me, extended an invitation to Abah Imron, Umi Nur, Kang Rijal, and Neng Nisa to attend the ceremony tomorrow after that," Chef Yudha replied.

"Oh, so Awan and Shofi want to hold a ceremony for their son's aqiqah as well as a thanksgiving for one year of their marriage, huh, son Yudha?" ask Umi Nur.

"Yes, Umi. Boss Awan and Shofi also extended a huge apology to Abah and Umi's family, I'm sorry that Cloud Boss and Shofi couldn't come here alone to deliver this invitation directly to Abah and the family. Conditions are very unlikely," Chef Yudha replied as well as conveying an apology from Awan and Shofi for Abah Imron's family.

"Yes, son of Yudha, no pa-pa. We all understand and can understand that Awan and Shofi must be busy preparing for the Thanksgiving tomorrow. Not to mention the condition of those who also still need to rest more," said Umi Nur trying to understand.

"Yes, Umi Nur was right. Oh yes, Boss Awan and Shofi also told me to convey, they realized that surely Abah Imron and family could not attend all of them at the ceremony tomorrow after that, given the condition of Abah Imron also at this time. So Boss Awan and Shofi just hope that at least there is a representative from the Abah Imron family who can attend the ceremony tomorrow after that," continued Chef Yudha again.

"Subhanallah, even Awan and Shofi have also been thought of to that extent" said Umi Nur.

"Right, Umi," replied Chef Yudha.

"But what they say is true, son Yudha. We all definitely could not come to the ceremony together, given the condition of Abah Imron as well. So maybe the day after tomorrow only Nisa will come to the ceremony, representing all of us," said Umi Nur later.

"Yes, Umi. Not a pa-pa. Oh yes, Umi, if indeed tomorrow the day after that only Neng Nisa can come, how about if I invite Neng Nisa here, Umi? Besides being able to leave together, also so that Neng Nisa is not confused about the address of the House of the Cloud Boss later," permission Chef Yudha.

"Eh, Eneng so ngerepotin Kang Yudha dong," said Nisa who had been listening quietly.

"Nerepotin at all, Neng. And Akang also went there," replied Chef Yudha.

"Where, Neng?" asked Umi Nur, asking for Nisa's opinion.

"Hmm, yeah. If you don't take drugs, Neng wants to be with Kang Yudha," replied Nisa a little shy.

'Thankful alhamdulillaah, ' Chef Yudha said with a happy smile.

"Yes already, then tomorrow the day after Umi same Abah tipped Nisa same nak Yudha, yes," pinta Umi Nur later.

"Of course, Umi. With pleasure" Chef Yudha sumringah replied.

Chef Yudha's talks with Umi Nur, Abah Imron, and Nisa continued for a while later. Until finally Chef Yudha resigned because he wanted to go to work.

In his heart Chef Yudha was very grateful, the first step of his approach to Nisa went smoothly. Yes, to be honest Chef Yudha admitted that he was becoming interested in Nisa. And Chef Yudha also hopes, hopefully with the presence of Nisa can make Chef Yudha release his feelings completely to Shofi.

And Chef Yudha also hoped that the same would happen to Nisa. Hopefully Nisa can also immediately release her feelings to the Cloud Boss completely, in case the two of them can really get closer later.
