Young Master's Lovely Chef

Chapter 60: 13 Years Ago (1)

In a fancy restaurant with a baffle attached to the back of the chair, two middle-aged men were looking at each other full of hostility. No one wants to budge after that 10-minute debate.

"Do you still want to be stubborn Steve?" ask Arnold the Prime Minister. She is the sister of Nada's mother.

"Hard-headed? If it wasn't for your overbearing family, maybe Nada could still feel happiness with Mikael and Ayu!" furious Steve.

"It should be your sister who knows herself. You're just a peasant family, but you want to ask my sister. And it's not our fault that Ayu has to die because she has been Mikael's responsibility" Arnold said.

"You!"

"What's? Didn't I say the truth? And you better hand the tone to us. I'll take care of it like my own daughter. Give him to me and I won't interfere with your life anymore."

"You crazy?! She's my daughter!" press Steve trying not to yell.

"Oh yeah? You forgot she wasn't your real daughter? Dianada Safaluna Abiyaksa is the son of Mikael and Ayunda. You just took care of him because of your guilt, didn't you? Or is it because your son's heart is in Nada's body that you insist on keeping that woman?"

Steve was immediately silenced after hearing a scathing remark from Arnold. He did not dare to refute the statement because in addition to taking care of Nada because of guilt, they also did not want to be far from Nada because Andre's heart was in Nada's body. However, whatever the reason, they loved Nada like a princess themselves.

"You'd better be honest with him about what happened. I'm sure Nada will be very disappointed in you, Steve. What if Nada finds out that her father died saving her when she was harassed? What if she finds out that her mother died because she chose to keep giving birth to her? And it's all a result of your stupidity. Nada deserves a better life with her mother's family," Arnold said at length until Finna who chose to hold back her steps so as not to move from there, he was shocked to death by a cell phone that was still recording the conversation.

Steve's body shook violently when his memory returned 13 years ago. At that time, he had so much debt because he was cheated by someone who asked him to start a business. Steve who can not afford the debt that has touched the billions, was forced to accept a brutal attack from a loan shark in the city of Bandung.

"Pay debt! How long have I been giving you, huh?!" shouts Gustaf the loan shark. Steve's body was covered in blood after he had been pushed so violently when he was walking back to his house.

"Give me a few more days. I will try to find a loan .." said Steve Lirih. They beat him among the bushes not far from Nada's house.

"2 day. Pay your debts or your family will accept the consequences!" gustaf shouted and immediately stepped away with his men.

Steve then tried to stand up and walk limping towards a simple house where he lived with Yuni and his only child, Andre. While not far from there, there is Nada's house with the father. The location of their house is located in a beautiful place and quite quiet. There were only a few houses and an orphanage along that road.

"Darling!!" yuni shouted in surprise to see Steve who was covered in blood, while Andre immediately embraced his father with teary eyes.

"Pa, I'm sorry I couldn't help papa. Wait for me to grow up and I'll protect papa and mama" Andre sobbed. He is still 9 years old, of course he does not have any strength to fight the loan shark. Andre gets hurt every time he sees Steve coming home battered.

"Sttts. I'm sorry papa just made you miserable."

Steve hugged his two favorite people until a shrill cry from the entrance there, making their bodies instantly distant. Yuni hurriedly goes to the kitchen to find a cure for Steve, while Andre immediately wins a tearful Tone seeing his uncle who looks terrible.

"Uncle, is it very painful?" said a small tone while blowing gently Steve's wound with his plain watery eyes unceasingly examining each of the wounds.

"If it's just blowing like this, how will it heal, Nada?" sahut Andre lazy.

"Ihh, Brother. Father said, every wound it just went blown and boom! Will be cured immediately," replied Nada did not pay attention to Andre who shook his guard.

Steve only smiled funnyly at the interaction of the two boys until it felt like the wound on his body was meaningless as long as he saw Nada and Andre mocking each other, but lovingly.

"Slow down, baby." Steve grimaced slightly as Yuni treated his wound with red medicine.

"Is your father not home yet, son?" steve asked Nada, who was sitting sweetly beside him with legs alternating forward and backward.

This kid is so pretty. It is certain that it will be a hunt for many men when they grow up, but of course it must fight Samuel first who has declared that Nada is his. The handsome boy came to his house several times to play with Nada and Andre although Samuel and his son always quarreled because they tried to grab Nada's attention.

"Maybe in a minute, Uncle."

"Hm .. You play with your brother" said Steve, who was immediately embraced by Nada.

"Darling, should we ask Mikael for help? He had just returned from Singapore and took home hundreds of millions after finishing runner-up in the competition" Yuni said.

"But how should we? We don't have that kind of money to pay the debt. I can't watch you keep getting beaten up."

"Ssssttt .. I will keep trying to find a loan. You took good care of Andre. This business let me finish."

In the evening, Steve's family had dinner. There was only fried tempeh and sambal on the table, yet it already felt so luxurious to them. Mikael has come and dined at the table.

"Ka, use this to pay down debt. The rest I'll think about" said Mikael smiling. He did not question it because he participated in the race in Singapore, in addition to testing his abilities, the prize was so big that he could help his brother.

"No. You use that for Nada's school," declined Steve.

"Thank you, Uncle. I'm now in school for free because of the scholarship," said Nada chimed in.

"Yes, Tone's right. He received a full scholarship during his schooling. So, this money is for sister only. I don't need it" said Mikael, smiling warmly to the point of Steve pulling Mikael into his arms. A haru atmosphere also occurs on the dining table which will be the end of their happiness.

2 Days later

"Pa, they're coming" said Yuni who was peeking behind the window. The atmosphere outside looks dimly lit from the street lights that try to illuminate their home page at night.

Steve rushed out and welcomed the loan shark. He hoped that money from Mikael could be accepted even though it was still far from the actual nominal.

The man immediately fell down because he got a raw bogem from Gustaf who did not want to receive the money.

"Pay it all right now!"

Steve was gang-raped by Gustaf's men until Yuni and Andre immediately ran out trying to save Steve who was half conscious.

Plaques

Yuni was hit with her head hit in a flower pot after getting a hard slap for biting Gustaf's hand.

"Fucking woman!!"

"You don't want to pay the debt, do you? All right, I'll sell your kids!"

Srekks

Gustaf then pulled rough and threw Andre's small body that coughed bloodily because of his depraved actions. He did not see if Andre was a child, just like his two twins who were silent in the car there.

Andre tried to fight with his small fist when Gustaf's men dragged him like garbage, while Yuni and Steve were no longer able to move. There were only the sounds of tears and tears running down the faces of both of them. The child they had always loved wholeheartedly, the child they had raised with great difficulty, the child they had so much protected, was now treated like an animal right before their eyes. Which parent's heart doesn't hurt?

Andre was covered in blood because he got a blow on his face until the little girl who had been hiding behind the bushes immediately shouted because if once again Andre was beaten up, he was immediately beaten up, it was certain that the boy would die that very second.

"STOP!!!!!" scream Tone hysterical.

"Na-tone, la-ran. RUNIII!!!!!!"
