The Unused Taste

Aksa Dennison Lee's

The journey from the city of Semarang to the district of semarang does not take long, Raina invites Aksa a walk to the tourist area of gedong songo temple, because, because, besides being close too because it turns out Aksa likes the mountain air compared to the beach that has a hot heat.

Taking a trip of about an hour, because using a car driven directly by Aksa, the two arrived at the gedong songo temple parking area, they climbed up and began to explore the tourist area.

Candi gedong songo is a Hindu cultural heritage temple building located in Candi village, Bandungan District, Semarang Regency, Central Java, precisely on the slopes of Mount Ungaran.

The green scenery that unfolds decorated with various large balloons, various ornamental plants and flowers planted and arranged in such a way adds its own plus.

Both of them enjoyed the view and breathed in the cool air of the mountains. Aksa who very rarely explored the birthplace of the mommy seemed happy, forgetting for a moment his responsibilities as CEO of several companies owned by the daddy.

Laugh jokingly, because it turns out they are both very suitable and connect when chatting and discussing. It did not take long for Aksa to admire the figure of Raina who turned out to be jolly.

Tired of walking the two sat in one place that was provided for sitting down without using a chair.

" Aksa likes to live in Semarang? "

" Like, I always miss this city, if long time can not go to Indonesia "

" If Aksa's mother never came back here again? "

" Mommy has been absent for two years not to visit Semarang, because it is busy with activities, and if there is time, mommy prefers to visit the place of sister, playing with her grandchildren "

" Your lives look fun, "

" Why can you talk like that? "

" Yes, because everything looks perfect, "

" That's what you think, but the truth is our lives never calm down, "

" why? "

" Since mommy was a teenager until recently, we've been getting their turn "

" Right? what turn? "

Aksa smiled, confused to answer honestly or vice versa, because his life was actually far from peaceful.

" We have some people who don't like Daddy's success, eventually trying to take him down in all sorts of ways "

" really? but don't people like you usually have bodyguards? "

Raina looked surprised at Aksa's reply, and she asked innocently, making Aksa smile.

" Yes, we have some bodyguards but still they can look for gaps "

" Gruesome, "

" Yes, even my brother he was forced to be kept secret from the public, until the age of twenty-one, when he was in the right hands according to daddy "

" Why is that? in the right hands that means? "

" Because brother Cheyra's husband is a powerful man, beyond my father's power. "

Aksa deliberately did not say if Cheyra's husband was a mobster, because he thought it was not time Raina understood this.

After being satisfied to walk Aksa took Raina home, because indeed he actually did not have much free time.

They both went down to the parking lot, while walking home Aksa looking for a mosque as well as a restaurant because they had not had lunch, only eating a few snacks sold in the gedong songo tourist area.

Aksa turned his car when he saw a large building on which there was a dome. It is not difficult to find a mosque in the hometown of the mommy. Unlike in his hometown, it is very difficult to find a mosque, can be counted with fingers.

" We go down first, pray yes "

" Yes mas... "

Although a little surprised because it turns out Aksa is a Muslim, but Raina likes it.

Aksa took ablution water and performed prayers solemnly, as well as Raina, when both of them went out to the courtyard of the mosque, Raina was stunned to see Aksa with her wet hair due to exposure to ablution water. There is an interest of his own that makes Raina reluctant to turn away from the charm of an Aksa.

" Is there something you want to ask? "

As if understanding the contents of Raina's head, Aksa started the conversation first while entering the car.

" Well, is Aksa Muslim? "

" Yes, I am a Muslim my family is also all Muslim "

" Well, this time there are successful entrepreneurs who live in minority countries "

Aksa smiled again, for some reason Raina's words made her proud to be a Muslim.

" My mommy, wearing a hijab like most women here "

" Really? .... "

As she wanted to ask again, Raina suddenly paused her intentions.

" why? "

" I feel ashamed, I who live in a Muslim-majority country do not even use the hijab "

Different from the one before, aksa this time was stunned to hear Raina's answer that felt insecure.

" It was a choice from the heart, like my older sister, mommy always wanted her to wear a veil, but mommy never forced her "

" Mother Aksa was very wise "

" Yes, he is indeed a calculating and wise man, "

Aksa turns her car into one of the restaurants of padang cuisine, which is in the city of Semarang, both of them down Raina just follow wherever Aksa goes.

" Aksa loves the cuisine? "

" Yeah when I visit Jakarta, taste rice padang, and I think it fits my tongue, I don't know, my own daddy was surprised, too, I went down to mommy's favorite thing more than her. "

" That means probably Aksa's older brother who went down more Aksa's father "

" You're right, they both have too much in common, even their stubbornness is the same "

" really? wow very interesting "

Aksa looked at Raina with a look of wonder, even though she felt her family life was not so harmonious a few years ago.

" Why look at me like that? "

" I wonder why you're so attracted to my family, but our family is not so harmonious as the family in general. "

Raina fell silent, she looked towards Aksa, with a wry look.

" Because I've always been jealous of the family's warm quarrels, "

" You're so funny, family fights can make you jealous "

" Because I.. don't fight, argue anything can't, there's nothing I can fight with, anything else share affection "

Raina answered with her head lowered and her gaze turned mellow, her life too complicated, only for a non-influential person like her.

Aksa was silent at Raina's reply, she took Raina's hand on the table, clasped it tightly, trying to provide emotional support to the tough woman in front of her.

" You'll definitely find your real family "

Aksa tries to strengthen Raina, by providing support, while Raina smiles miris recollecting her life from childhood.

" What if it doesn't? ah... already why so discuss this issue ".

Aksa wanted to answer Raina's words, but the male servant came with both hands, which were filled with small dishes filled with side dishes arranged to several levels, and it caught Aksa's attention.

" Come, mba.. "

The waiter presents several complete menus typical of pasture massan, then pampit retreat.

" Thank you "

Raina replies with a sweet smile, which makes Aksa reluctant to shift her attention to the figure of the girl who makes her heart beat fast.
