Reynald the CEO

Chapter 62

"What do you want to eat?".

Anggi then saw a menu list that all consisted of foreign food names. If He did not understand and did not even know about the ingredients of the composition of each menu, now such food is common. Of course as an entrepreneur, he needs to upgrade himself because he must always attend various luxury events held by his business relations.

"I'd like to order Truffle tagliolini and Ice cream pistachio only". Said Anggi while closing the menu book.

"If I order Brioche french, Egg benedict and Maze salad and mineral water." Hendra timpal.

Anggi frowned looking at the father. He thought why his father ordered 3 menus at once.

"Is it all going to end?"

"I'm so hungry! You know I don't taste the food on the plane even if I order the main seat though". Hendra Sahut.

Anggi mangosteen understand. He was only afraid that his father would get a stomachache if he ate too much, because that was what would usually happen.

"What do you want to eat?"

Anggi turned to a man who had been busy flipping through the menu book.

"Much I want. This is my favorite restaurant. All the food here is delicious!". Said the man.

"Hot pastrami reuben or Confit de Canard do you think?". Ask the man to Anggi.

"You ordered a steak tartare, too. We will eat both. I want to try that as well actually". Hendra timpal.

Anggi just shook his head. Why did you decide to eat for so long?, he thought.

"Yes already. I ordered Confit de Canard, steak tartare, and drink caramel macchiato."

"ah! Mineral water too!". Sahut the man closed the menu book and gave it to a waitress.

The waitress was soon passed to process the food that had been determined. The three were silent for a moment while circulating throughout the room enjoying the atmosphere at the restaurant.

Anggi silently glanced at the man sitting before him. Staring at him with a smile etched on his lips. He did not know how to express his gratitude because he met this man while in a foreign land. He smiled as he recalled his first meeting with the man.

"What food is this? I've never seen it."

"Is it safe to eat? Not poisonous, right?"

There are so many silly questions that the man asked when Anggi first came to offer processed products that he made.

One year after his venture in Abu Dhabi, Anggi intends to expand his target market. He was determined to go one by one companies with the aim of finding clients so that he could become a major supplier at various corporate events in Abu Dhabi.

Many rejections occur due to unhygienic packaging quality and production kitchens that do not meet health and safety standards.

But only 1 company that finally reviewed more in the culinary business owned by Anggi. It was the man-owned company that was before him at the moment.

Although Anggi had to serve a variety of silly questions about his products and always repeat the composition of the ingredients in it, but without the man who gave his trust and bridged the business of Anggi in Abu Dhabi, he said, Anggi will not reap rapid success in a period of only 5 years. There was a cold hand of the man behind it who always spread the products of the Anggi company throughout his relations.

Rashaad, the man's name. It has been 1 year Anggi has been engaged to him.

Rashaad is a native of Abu Dhabi. With a manly stature, the women will always melt to see it. Face with firm jaws, thick eyebrows and a sharp nose. Ah do not forget the thin hairs that grow on the chin until a little cheek really makes the man look man. Rashaad is the target of women in his country.

How not, Rashaad did come from a successful business family. His parents are the founders of Rajul Sahir Group, which has businesses in the food, retail, construction and real estate sectors. Rashaad himself founded Wasim bank outside the business sector that his parents both run. From there also the source of his wealth came from other than Rajil Sahir Group.

Two years ago, Rashaad donated a third of his wealth to an official foundation set up by his country's government for education and refugee children from conflict zones in several countries.

"Why are you looking at me like that?". Rashaad's question breaks Anggi's daydream.

Anggi blinked his eyes and lowered his head in embarrassment because he was caught staring at the man.

Hendra said suddenly while staring at Anggi and Rashaad.

"Of course the intention! Why would I get engaged if I didn't want to go to the wedding?".

"You know Dad, anyway? In my family tradition there is no such thing as engagement! Men from my family always marry the girl of our choice." Rashaad said, holding Anggi's hand.

Rashaad commented a warm smile on Anggi. "But I just follow him until he's ready. I don't know what makes your daughter always postpone the wedding if I say it".

Anggi stared at Rashaad silently. Anggi clasped back Rashaad's hand which was holding it with one hand.

Hendra who heard Rashaad's words then looked at his daughter with a deep gaze with various thoughts running in his brain.

•••

A month from the restaurant, Anggi and Hendra are now difficult to be in a luxury hotel located in downtown Abu Dhabi. Both of them stepped into a presidential suite.

"Dad, wouldn't you rather stay in my apartment while here? Why is it always in the hotel?". Ask Anggi while putting her bag on the chair.

Hendra took off his suit and attached it to the chair. The middle-aged man immediately sat down his body.

"I don't want to. But I'd rather stay in a hotel as long as I'm traveling. No one bothered me hehehe" Hendra chuckled softly as he unbuttoned the top of his shirt.

Anggi smiled looking at his father.

"Have you not forgotten it yet?" Ask Hendra suddenly.

Just so far Anggi is frozen still. He knew who his father meant. Anggi lowered his head.

I heard Hendra's breath. The middle-aged man looked at his daughter who was just silent.

"I know forgetting someone you love is hard."

"I still think about your mother. Yep. Your mother's face is always present in my memory. Maybe he feels the same as me".

Anggi looked at the father with a frowned.

"How can you?"

"What's? I always remember your mother?" Tanya Hendra who was nodded by Anggi.

Hendra chuckled softly. "Of course I always remember. She's a woman who gave me a different color in my life. The only different one. That's what I always remember".

"And I think you gave her a different color in her life. Proof that your name is everywhere she calls me. That means he's always waiting for your news"

"Maybe he's just wondering how I'm living my life". Sahut Anggi slowly.

Hendra nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry I discussed him with you. But I've never brought that guy up this whole time, have I? Just tonight. That's because I was thinking about Rashaad saying you didn't intend to go to marriage yet".

"My guess are you still thinking about Reynald?"

Anggi looked at the father right into his bead. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I didn't forget it of course. Because I'm not amnesiac, Dad."

"I just need to think more deeply for a moment. Besides, I know I don't deserve to think of a married man! I think the wedding is happy, right?"

"Of course happy.. His wife is very beautiful and artia is famous. Anyone who has a wife like that will be happy". Anggi muttered in response to his own question while throwing his gaze at the window that presents a stunning view of Abu Dhabi at night.
