Twins Genius: Two CEOs

Meet again

...***...

The engine of the car in Francisco and Aphrodite suddenly died in the middle of the trip. Francisco and Aphrodite were quite surprised by it.

"Why?" Aphrodite asked Francisco, who was trying to restart the engine but failed.

"The car seems to be breaking down" said Francisco, who switched to checking the gas tank.

"What's? Then, how?"

"I'm gonna try to call my assistant and ask him to come in here with the car."

"Then how are we?"

"We go on foot, after all, the place is not too far from here."

"All right." Aphrodite removed the seat belt attached to her body.

"Before you go out don't forget to wear this." Francisco thrusting his warm coat, Aphrodite smiled and put it on.

The two of them stepped out of the car and went towards where they were headed.

It is Saturday night Sunday and on weekends like this, they want to spend time looking at the night sky and enjoying the beauty and tranquility by the lake which is located quite far from their residence.

Arriving there, the place is so beautiful. Although quite far from the crowd, but there filled with beautiful lights that illuminate.

The lake was located near the park, not too many people that night. There are only a few pairs of lovers who are enjoying a beautiful starry night, sitting by the lake while enjoying the beauty.

Francisco took a seat at a friend who was quiet enough for them to feel more comfortable, he asked Aphrodite to sit next to him while he contacted his assistant first. He soon returned with bad news.

"My assistant can't come as soon as possible, he has some important business that keeps him from coming. Maybe he'll come tomorrow."

"That's what it looks like." Aphrodite responded.

"I'm sorry tonight didn't go so well." Francisco stroking Aphrodite's hair.

"It's okay, all this is happening beyond our expectations, right? I totally understand."

"Yes, you have a point."

"By the way it looks like we have to find lodging or hotels near this, because it is impossible for us to go home on foot let alone look for public transportation, he said, in addition, there are rarely taxis that pass around here because it is quite rare to visit."

"So we're gonna sleep in an inn or a hotel?"

"Yes, and if it's not wrong nearby there's one of the inns that's quite comfortable."

"I'm coming along how good it is." Aphrodite poked her head on Francisco's shoulders.

"Tomorrow morning we'll just go home."

"Yes" said Aphrodite.

The two were silent for a moment before Francisco broke the silence and looked for a topic. They talked about many things, starting from the beautiful scenery, the night sky was full of stars, until the cold night air was so piercing to their ribs that neither wore a warm coat to avoid the night air.

After being satisfied to spend time at the lake, they decided to look for lodging. Arriving at the inn, they immediately rested in order to get up and go home tomorrow morning.

...*...

"Frans.." Aphrodite shook Fransisco's undressed arm. "Frans.." Aphrodite shook him once more after a while with no response at all, and only the second time the man began to awaken from his sleep.

"Hm.." he muttered as he tried to open his eyes, he changed his sleeping position that was originally sideways so stretched out. Both of his eyes slowly opened. He looked at Aphrodite who was sitting on the edge of her bed.

"What's wrong?" Francisco asked as he yawned.

"Wake up, it's almost noon. We need to get ready and go home."

"really? What time is it?" Francisco turned to the nightstand there and found the clock in his car. The clock now shows eight o'clock over twenty minutes, almost half-nine and he just woke up.

"Oh jeez. I slept so well that I woke up so bad."

"Let's get up after it's ready and we go home" Aphrodite said.

"All right, I'll wake up." Francisco moved out of his bed, stepping into the bathroom to get ready for home.

While Francisco went into his room, it was different with Aphrodite who now began making beds there after sitting on the edge of the bed to check the items in her bag, make sure no items are taken out by him it is left there.

Aphrodite's attention was seized by a piece of paper that accidentally fell from inside. Aphrodite grabbed him, she smiled wryly as she looked at the paper. The paper is nothing but a business card that Aphrodite got from Laura when they met for the second time by accident.

Francisco stepped out of the bathroom with a neater appearance compared to before. The man walked over to Aphrodite who was sitting there.

"I'll call my assistant first and ask him if he's brought my car or not, after that we go home" he said. Aphrodite asserted, Francisco grabbed his phone and began to busy contacting his assistant to make sure the man had done his job properly or not.

Francisco disconnected his phone once he finished talking to his assistant.

"Oh yeah, it's almost noon and you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? How about before we go home to eat first so that once you get home, you don't have to bother cooking." Francisco's Word to Aphrodite.

"May, then we eat here." Aphrodite showed the paper in her hand.

"Huh?" Francisco grabbed the paper and looked at it. "Good idea, it's not too far from here, is it?"

"Yes. So we eat there, after that we just go home."

"Where did you get this?"

"Some time ago I accidentally met the person I had helped, and because he didn't want to feel bad so he asked me to pay a visit to the restaurant where he worked sometime, he said, he said I could come with someone."

"Alright, then we'll go there." Francisco got up from his seat, followed by Aphrodite. After finishing checking all his belongings and preparing finally Francisco and Aphrodite check out first and then go to the restaurant in question.

The distance that is not too far from where they stay makes them decide to walk in order to get there.

Upon arrival at the restaurant they were referring to, they immediately entered. The first sight they see when entering is a cozy restaurant with an open kitchen that makes every visiting customer can see firsthand the cooking process at the chef at the restaurant. The place is quite crowded, even there are only a few empty tables left there.

"That's it" said Aphrodite, staring at Laura, who was standing behind the kitchen table.

"Who?" Fransisco asked who was looking in the direction Aphrodite was looking.

"He's the guy I met and gave me this." Aphrodite showed me the paper again.

"Oh.." Francisco nodded his head.

Laura there wrapped the order of one of the visiting customers then gave the package, smiling she looked at the customer who had just walked out the door. But once his eyes collided with the figure of Aphrodite in the doorway managed to make Laura move from where she was at this time.

The woman walked over to Aphrodite with a smile. "Hi! Glad you finally visited too." His greeting once arrived before Aphrodite and Francisco.

"Because I'm busy enough, I don't have time to visit. But since I happened to be around here, so I decided to pay a visit. Speaking of which your restaurant is really cozy, and crowded as well as it turns out."

"so. Oh yeah, this is your boyfriend?" by the way?" Laura looked at Francisco.

"This is Francisco, and Frans. This is Laura." Aphrodite introduced, the two shook hands with each other. "This is my husband."

"Oh so it seems, you're married."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes, please sit down. I'll prepare food for you soon. You guys just wait a minute, okay." Laura went to cook food for Francisco and Aphrodite.

"Come on." Aphrodite grabbed Francisco's hand and pulled him to sit at one of the tables not far from where the open kitchen was. The distance is approximately only blocked by some chairs filled by other visitors.

"I don't know why, but every time I see it, I remember you." Francisco looked at Aphrodite who was now sitting in front of him.

"You mean Laura?"

"Yes. You have some similarities, such as the way of speaking, the style of appearance, and the warm nature is also the same as you…"

"really?"

"Yes. Maybe you didn't realize it, but he really looks like you."

Aphrodite was silent watching Laura's figure, looking at her fixedly from where she was. If in thought he also had time to think the same thing with the same thought by Francisco, he also had time to think that he and Laura have some similarities in the way of appearance, he said, and his style of speech.

Laura walked over to the table they were on, put all the food they were carrying with trays in front of them and served it on the table.

"It's the best dish in this restaurant, the mainstay food as well as the special dish I made for my new friend. It's free'." Laura smiled, and then took a seat in one of the chairs there to ask for the opinion of Aphrodite and Francisco.

"Try it, I want to know what you think of my cooking" he said.

"I'll try." Aphrodite grabbed her spoon, trying the food slowly. Similarly to Francisco, he now began to feed the food into his mouth.

Aphrodite was silent for a moment as her tongue was pampered with a taste so wonderfully delicious.

"How's it?" Laura asked who was speechless looking at Aphrodite and Francisco alternately.

"It's delicious, really good. It feels great, I love the spice that fits so well. My tongue is spoiled by the food you make." Aphrodite smiled at him, praising him with words to describe the good taste that his tongue tasted.

"really? You likeyour?"

"I like it so much."

"Thank God, I'm happy."

"Oh yeah, if you can teach me how to cook food like this sometime, can you?"

"Of course I can, I'll be happy to teach you how to cook this meal."

"Then I ask for your mobile number. Later on in my spare time, I'll call you." Aphrodite thrusting her phone. Laura grabs him and starts writing down his phone number on Aphrodite's phone after which gives it back to the owner.

"This," he said.

"Thank you."

"Contact me anytime, I'll always be ready to help you learn to cook."

"okay."

"All right, please enjoy. I have to get back to work, if my seniors know I'm sitting with diners, he might get angry."

"Yes, thank you again."

"Together."

Laura got up from her seat and chanted to go to the kitchen to return to the purchase service. After Laura, Aphrodite and Francisco, they returned to enjoy their breakfast until they were gone.

After finishing breakfast together, they left after paying, but Laura refused.

Aphrodite and Francisco were walking towards a more crowded highway, but the attention of the two was caught when they saw a carnival located not far from the road they passed.

"Frans, how about we play first?" Aphrodite asked as she caught the carnival in the field near the highway visited by many people who wanted to fill their Sundays there, spending time with their spouses, friends and family.

"Alright, come on," he said in agreement. Francisco drew Aphrodite's hand into the carnival, paid for admission and tried every game there. They start from riding the comedy play, continue to ride the Ferris wheel, then continue to other games that are no less interesting there, then, they also do not forget to play some small games and get some prizes for successfully winning that game. After spending a long time there, they decided to go home, get out of the place and go by empty taxi passing by.

Arriving home, Francisco and Aphrodite immediately entered and laid her body on the sofa located in the living room. Both of them lay down to relieve the fatigue they had felt since.

"So it was really fun, I was so happy to win some games after that what I liked the most was when we rode the Ferris wheel and saw the city from such a high place. The view is absolutely amazingly beautiful." Aphrodite smiled happily.

"I'm also happy, especially when I managed to make some visitors there gawk because I managed to win many prizes when I first tried it." Francisco chuckles.

"Oh yeah, did you see how they looked? That's really funny, they don't even blink so surprised by what you're capable of."
