Young Master's Lovely Chef

Chapter 1: Pursuing the Ideals

Budi Mulia University Jakarta

At 10 in the morning

Campus Hall

****

A beautiful woman, complete with a toga that adorns her head. Confidently, she was now standing in the middle of the stage with a smile that for a second had never disappeared from her beautiful face.

"Dianada Safaluna Abiyasa, S. E."

"Welcome to finish college with perfect grades."

That was the warm welcome he received. Today is his graduation day after 4 years of college.

"Tone!"

"Mama!"

Tone ran towards the middle-aged woman who shouted to her name to hoist her batik skirt. The red top of the kebaya makes the pure white skin very contrasting and blinding to the eyes.

The two women of different ages hugged each other tightly with an outpouring of happiness that could not be hidden. Every parent would be proud if their child succeeds, right?

"Mama's so proud of you, son. You managed to finish your college with satisfactory grades," said Yuni.

"Of course, Ma. Thank you for coming here," Nada replied while crying.

"Son, congratulations. May you be a successful person later" said Steve.

"Amen."

The three of them hugged each other tightly with a smile that never disappeared because Dianada's graduation was a very extraordinary achievement for their families.

Dianada Safaluna Abiyaksa or commonly called Nada is the only child in the Abiyaksa family. A family that lives simply, but is able to send their daughter to college. He is the son of Steve Abiyaksa and Yuni Abiyaksa.

In the midst of the newness felt, a shout that was quite surprising to some people there, came from a beautiful girl who wore a pink batik dress.

"Attribute!"

Tone stepped foot toward the entrance to make his body become a wild eye food men, while a man who sat in the corner, made to the cross because of excessive jealousy.

"Jeez .. You're so beautiful. Congratulations, sorry I came late," said Adel with a look of admiration can not be hidden. The current tone uses a simple make up that fits perfectly on her tiny face. His long black hair was dikonde with butterfly clasps to the left of the head.

"Yes, no problem. You always have, haven't you? It's a rubber clock!" ketus Nada pretends to sulk. They hugged back tightly until a man's greeting was heard breaking the winding.

"Leo!"

"Hi, congratulations on your graduation" said Leo groggily as he reached out to Nada who was silent at the pecking order before he finally returned the warm hand.

Leo Oliver Prakasa is Nada's favorite upperclassman since they were in High School. The defeated tone was just carrying out ospek activities made fascinated by the figure of Leo who was always present to help him when he was in trouble.

"Thank you, Brother."

"Well, there's a Leo boy here. How's it going, son?" greet Steve who has joined the young people so that it helps dilute the atmosphere that looks a little awkward between Nada and Leo because it is too long not to meet.

"My news is good, Om. I'm sorry I just got to see you again because I've been working so much for a few months."

Yes, the man every month always took the time to visit Nada's house, playing together with the woman who had secretly stolen his attention since their closeness first.

"Sam, do you want to come eat together? Nada's father took us to his house." The man just nodded and followed her from behind.

"Sam."

The very brief introduction of Samuel invited the questioning gazes of those there, while Leo who heard the short, dense, and clear utterance of the arrogant man's mouth was made ashamed of himself.

The two have been friends since childhood. The man always helped Leo when he was in a precarious condition until Leo decided to become Samuel's assistant even though they had become brothers. Leo owed a lot to the man's family. For Leo, helping Samuel on the job was the only thing he could do.

The Nada residence

At 12 noon

****

Tone occasionally glanced at the handsome man who was eating casually. He had seen Samuel but nowhere. It felt so familiar when those eyes looked at him with obvious implied pain.

Deg

The two look at meet. At first glance Nada saw that Samuel's pitch-black eyes glazed over. Tone held his chest that was pounding and it felt like he wanted to cry right then and there. What's the matter?

Tone hurriedly severed his gaze and answered Steve's question with a slight stutter.

"I-I want to be Chef, Pa."

"Can't!" talk Steve fast.

"But why?! Stop setting me up!" The tone began to stir emotions. Steve had forbidden him from becoming a chef. And every time he asked for an explanation, then the edges were just a quarrel that would happen.

Brakkkk

"You disappointed papa, Nad!"

"My life is mine, Pa. Stop managing my life. Wasn't it enough since I was a child to always obey you? I will still pursue my ideals even if you forbid me!"

If you knew, every night I would cry for you. Crying over your destiny, crying over my mistakes, crying over the past. After you know everything, you'll keep saying that? Steve's inner being was deeply hurt by Tone's speech.

What did that man not give to his son? Even his whole life was just for Nada without thinking about his own wife's feelings which were equally hurt.

Was his decision wrong all along? He was also more hurt than anyone else, but why was no one trying to understand his meaning? He did all this for the good of everyone.

"Can you listen to papa one more time?"

"Can't!"
