When Potatoes Fall in Love

26

After fifteen minutes of travel, Nadin and Aidan finally arrive at a multi-storey building that looks more like a European-style building. When getting out of the car, Nadin could already see the sparkling crystal lights that were in the room.

Suddenly Nadin felt restless and stopped his steps before entering.

“Wait a minute,” said Nadin.

“What's up?” asked Aidan turned his head and approached Nadin who turned out to be behind him.

“Emmm, a-did you smell fishy from me ?”

Aidan furrowed his brows as he did not understand Nadin's question.

“I mean, do I smell fishy ?”

Aidan came closer and lowered his head to sniff Nadin. Meanwhile, Nadin immediately retreated when he saw Aidan's actions.

“What do you do ?” tanya Nadin hugged her own body.

“I'm kissing whether you're fishy or not. And you are not amis,” replied Aidan then took a step back from Nadin.

“Ah, yes. But, why should it sniff ?” nadin's grumbling faintly sounded in Aidan's ears.

“Why do you ask so ? Is something bothering you ?” Now Aidan watched Nadin from the tip of his foot to the end of his hair.

“Nothing. Stop looking at me.”

“Ya already, come in,” invite Aidan .

Nadin hastened his steps following Aidan. However, his hand involuntarily pulled the clothes of his male friend as his eyes caught a beautifully engraved inscription above the entrance.

“What else is it ?” Aidan turned his head while trying to hold back his smile from feeling a different feeling when Nadin pulled his shirt. He felt that the girl was acting spoiled towards him.

“Isn't this a restaurant that is having a free meal for the first 100 students to come ?” tanya Nadin showed a restless face.

“Iya.”

“I think we should go, it's eight o'clock, maybe a hundred students have come,” Nadin explained.

Aidan smiled faintly at Nadin's worries.

“Do you assume I will take you here to eat for free?” ask Aidan.

Nadin just nodded his head at Aidan's question.

“Let's calm, I didn't invite you to that,” without excuse Aidan held Nadin's hand and invited him in.

“Do you think that I'm proud to be invited to eat free food and then you say 'calm down' ? I didn't mean it that way. When I came home from school, I had heard two people who would come here, they said that this restaurant was the sultan's place to eat. If they say that, the food here must be very expensive, I'm afraid I can't pay,” Nadin explained, forcibly pulling Aidan's hand.

“Jeez Nadin, you're getting bigger the more chatty ya. Why are you worried about that ? You came here with me. So, don't think about trivial things,” said Aidan smiled.

“Ta- ,”

“Goodnight, sir,” greet someone who disconnected Nadin. And Nadin only realized that they both had entered the magnificent restaurant.

“Night,” says Aidan.

“I've prepared the place that sir ordered. I'll show you the place. Mari.”

The two sons of Adam and Eve followed a man who had been waiting for them. Nadin also freed his hand that had been held by Aidan before the people in the place saw him. However, without realizing it, some of the students and students at his school have seen it hand in hand.

Oh my God ! Are we gonna wear this shitty thing ? nadin's inner self as she and the two men who were with her stood in front of the elevator.

Ting

The elevator doors open as soon as the 'ting' sound is heard. Nadin immediately shifted to the side as soon as several people came out of the golden-colored narrow space. His two round eyes instantly opened wide when he found Ela and her two gangs out of there in a state that was not okay. Their makeup looks messy after a long time of tears of their own. Not to forget their red lips continue to emit a hah hah sound, until it is clear they are feeling a tremendous spicy.

Nadin was surprised when Ela did not touch him at all, even though usually the upperclassman never missed the opportunity to disturb him when they met. He was even more surprised to see Aidan who suddenly always smiled cynically after crossing paths with Ela.

“Come in,” invite Aidan.

Nadin took a deep breath before entering the elevator. He held tightly to the grip that was there so as not to fall like his first experience riding the object he did not like.

“Aduh !” Nadin was a little shrewd when his head dizzy to feel the elevator start moving. Aidan who was beside her swiftly held onto her.

“Why ?” ask Aidan, looking worried.

“It's okay, I just haven't gotten used to riding the elevator,” replied Nadin immediately removing Aidan's hand from his arm.

“Pfftt,” the male waiter who was with them both tried hard to hold his laughter by shutting his mouth.

“Why was his laugh held back ? Go ahead, I will not be offended,” said Nadin while leaning.

“Sorry,” said the man slightly bent his body to Nadin.

“Indeed how many times have you taken the elevator?” whispered Aidan curious.

“Two times, the first time was in the mall when I was going to the 3rd floor with Dira.”

The look on Nadin's face slowly turned sad when he mentioned Dira's name.

“Don't say something that makes you sad,” pinta Aidan while observing Nadin's face that keeps looking down.

Do you know what I'm thinking ? muttered Nadin who turned to Aidan.

Once at their table, Nadin was so fascinated to see the sights of the city that he could see from inside. He unceasingly looked at the city lights that looked like stars in the night sky.

“Do you like this place ?” asked Aidan who was satisfied to see Nadin finally smiling.

“Iya, I love it,” replied Nadin without turning his eyes to Aidan.

Aidan recalls the time when he took Nadin on a prank in their childhood. He felt Nadin did not change because he still liked the view of the lights that he could see from a height.

“Stop looking outside, order the food you want first,” Aidan said as soon as a waiter came to bring them the menu.

Nadin's pupils trembled when he saw the price of every food that was there. He opened every leaf but found none of the food he could afford to pay for himself.

“I treat you, just order whatever you want,” Aidan added.

Why do I feel uncomfortable being treated like this ? thought Nadin.

Tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk

“Aidan,” call Nadin.

“Ya ?” sahut Aidan who has been watching him ever since.

“I wonder, why did Ela and her friends look so pungent ? In addition, in this menu no one provides spicy food,” said Nadin.

“They did order the spicy food themselves and it was special for the three of them,” said Aidan grinned.

“Oh so. Stop smiling like that. What makes you happy until you always smile ?”

“I smiled because there was you and because of something else,” explained Aidan then put on an innocent smile.

Aidan's answer forced Nadin to turn his face to the glass window. He tried to hold back his smile that was about to crack. Several times he fanned himself with his own hands as he suddenly felt sultry.

How is this ? what am I supposed to do ? Why do I feel so happy, Nadin's mind is wrong.

****Previous****

“Are they already there ?” asked Aidan who had just got out of his car and was immediately greeted by three subordinates.

“Already sir. We have taken them to the second floor,” replied the three adult men in all black suits.

Aidan loosened his tie violently while continuing to step in a hurry. Now he has to finish his business with three women and must return to a hotel where his parents have a party.

He grinned when he saw three women sitting proudly in a special room.

“Did you guys see Nadin's face back then ? That's funny, isn't it ? It must have burned his mouth, hahaha.”

“Hahahaha.”

What a nice conversation. Wait and see if you can laugh and talk about him again, murmured Aidan stepped towards Ela who was with Kiran and Helen.

Still a few steps Aidan reached the table of the three of them, the tail of Helen's eyes had caught the figure of Aidan who was walking to their place. When he immediately stood up, his two friends were surprised and surprised to see his behavior also saw where his eyes looked.

“Aidan,” said they were together.

“Have you guys been waiting for a long time?” asked Aidan and then put on a sincere smile.

“T-not too long,” replied Helen looks happy.

“Wait, wait, someone said someone would meet us. Therefore, he prepared this special place. Means that person is you?” asked Kiran who was no less excited to see Aidan come to see him.

Aidan just nodded his head and asked them to sit down. Ela was silent. His feelings have become uneasy since Aidan came to see him and his friends.

“Have you guys ordered any food?” ask Aidan to open the conversation.

“Already,” answer them simultaneously.

Aidan turned to one of his subordinates and nodded his head. The man who was given the signal also immediately gave orders to someone through a communication device attached to his ear. After a while, a waiter came to bring a familiar meal in the memory of Ela, Kiran, and Helen.

“It seems, you misdelivered food. We didn't order this meal,” Ela told the waiter.

“He did not take the wrong food, I asked them to bring this food for you,” said Aidan with a sneaky smile.

“But, we never ordered this mi,” Kiran added.

“Splash the chili powder onto their respective plates,” Aidan commands to his subordinates without poking Kiran's words.

“Aidan ! What are you doing ?!” snapped Ela.

“I'm doing what you guys did yesterday. You must remember the time when you sprinkled a pack of chili powder into the food that Nadin would eat during the race. At that time, Nadin never asked and never ordered you to sprinkle this much chili powder on his plate, right ?! So, why are you doing that ? Now answer what is your reason ?” aidan asked on the sidelines gritting his teeth as he spoke as he held back his anger that was ready to explode in front of them.

Kiran and Helen both silently looked at Ela who never opened her lips to answer Aidan's question.

“You only want revenge right?” ask Aidan.

“We do not take revenge, it was Ela who took revenge,” Helen timpal.

Ela instantly shone a sharp glare at Helen who cornered herself.

“Despite that, you and Kiran are the same as Ela, you two have already helped her to make Nadin suffer. So, you also have to feel what Nadin felt at that time. Now you three eat this noodle until it runs out, I'll give you 15 minutes.”

“Wait, what proof do we do that ? Don't accuse us of !” ela's protest was trying to evade.

Aidan immediately felt disgusted by the words of Ela who still wanted to defend herself. Meanwhile, one of Aidan's subordinates instantly took out a laptop and placed it in front of Aidan.

“This is CCTV footage that is in the canteen. Your face is clearly there with these two friends. It is disgusting to see you evasive and defensive, when you know what you have done,” said Aidan after showing a video on the laptop.

It was as if an arrow had directly pierced the heart and ears of Ela with her two friends. Helen and Kiran even gulped because they could not say anything hearing Aidan's words. The two of them really did not expect that the thin lips that the handsome prince had in their school were so spicy.

“Why did you do this to us ? Were you told by Nadin to take revenge ?” asked Ela after swallowing all her embarrassment.

“He had nothing to do with this, I did it of my own volition. Aren't you the same ? You bullied Nadin for wanting to avenge your cousin's sister named Ami, right ? I was Nadin's friend. So, right now I just want to avenge what you did to him. That's it,” explained Aidan.

After what Aidan said, Ela and her friend did not budge in the slightest to hold the spoon.

“Ok, if you do not want to eat it is also okay. I will gladly make your father three quit his job so that they can teach you to be a good child,” Aidan said smiling.

“What do you mean !” the three teenage girls were surprised.

“Do not pretend to be stupid, you must understand what I mean. Now you guys grab that spoon and eat it all. Otherwise, you know for yourself the consequences.”

“Do not threaten us ! Where could you possibly do that !” reply Ela.

“Of course you can, your father works at my father's company,” Aidan smirked.

Their eyes were wide open to learn the fact that their father worked in the company of Aidan's parents. They resorted to taking a spoon and bribing the noodles. In less than five seconds, a sense of heat had invaded their tongues. Aidan never stopped smiling with satisfaction when he saw they could feel what Nadin felt at that time.

📨Aidan :

Make sure they finish the food, just give them the food they have ordered. Maybe they have a video and upload it on medsos. So, check their phone and delete all videos about Nadin.

📩Byan :

Fine, monsieur.

Aidan put his phone in his pocket after receiving a reply from his subordinates.
