An hour later. Immediate cooking was so, the sweat of the participants soaked their clothes. How not, the cooking process to produce delicious and luxurious food is very requiring expertise. Especially for the arrangement and also the decoration of the food.
"All right, you can rest. All your food we'll bring upstairs to taste. Hope one of your dishes gets chosen." Aisyah ordered Lim to bring all the dishes to Daniel's room.
Zahra who saw her cooking taken could only scream in her heart by saying. "No! Don't take my cooking, I just give up."
Why did Zahra give up so quickly? Because seeing the mocking gazes of the servants and also the other participants made his guts shrink. How not, when people cook luxury and elegant food, he instead chose to cook lontong.
Only the food was thought of by him, because around his house children love to eat lontong at his front stall. So, he took the initiative to make lontong because he thought that the daughter of Madam Aisyah was still a child.
"Of course, the food was also brought. Want to escape or not, all I leave to the Almighty."
Zahra chose to sit in a chair that has been provided specifically for participants. Eating snacks given by the servants of the mansion.
"Hey, are you a participant?" ask a young servant. Looks like Zahra's age.
"Yes," Zahra replied looking awkward.
"Well, what were you cooking?" ask the young servant.
"Hmmm, it's nothing. Just plain food," Zahra replied looking desperate.
"Hihihi, don't despair. Who knows, young master likes your cooking. The young master did not see the food was fancy or not, the important thing was it fit on the tongue and he would eat it." Zahra's desperation slowly dissipated due to the servant's amusement. Even if he knew, he wouldn't graduate. But, there was no harm if he tried to be confident.
"What's your name?" ask Zahra.
"Introduction right. I'm Rianthy. You can call me Anthy."
"Hi, Anthy. Introduce my name Zahra, I hope we can be friends."
"Hey you. Come and work! Don't squat there!" snapped the other female servant who looked very sad.
"good. Ii'm sorry..... Zahra, I'm leaving first. I hope you don't graduate" said Anthy, leaving Zahra confused. Instead of praying for the good, even in prayer will not pass.
"Maybe his tongue was sprained earlier," Zahra's mind thought positively.

Daniel's Room.
The food was placed on the balcony table. Waiting for Daniel to clean up.
Aisyah looked at the dishes of the participants. It is very luxurious and also looks very delicious. Until his gaze was focused on the cuisine that was beyond the word luxury.
"Mrrrl?" Aisyah chuckled amusedly to see there was a lontong among the classy luxury cuisine. Not because they feel disgusted or like the rich think. He even wanted to eat the lontong because he really likes lontong.
"Have not eaten lontong for a long time. Hope Daniel doesn't like her and the precious barrel is mine," murmured Aisyah gulped her saliva.
"Umi," called Daniel who had just come out of the bathroom using only a towel on his waist and also a short-sleeved t-shirt.
"Darling, change your clothes quickly. You have to taste the cuisine of these would-be chefs. Hurry," said Aisyah enthusiastically. He was sure Daniel would definitely love one of these sumptuous and delicious dishes.
Daniel nodded and went into the dressing room to put on his clothes. He is increasingly made not tasteful to eat, for some reason his appetite is getting worse and worse.
After you finish wearing clothes. Daniel went out and sat down on the chair on the balcony. He stared at the deluxe food that was plastered in front of him.
"Try one at a time" said Aisyah sitting next to Daniel.
Daniel also pulled one by one the food in front of him and tasted a spoonful per dish. The first food just passed by, the second food was the same. Aisyah's enthusiastic smile suddenly faded when she saw that Daniel had no taste for the sumptuous cuisine. Even Daniel had vomited to make Aisyah more frustrated.
"If you cannot bear it. Don't force it baby" said Aisyah stroking Daniel's back.
"Hmmm, just try it." Daniel did not want to give up. He did not want his Umi to worry about his condition, but he also could not pretend to enjoy food that could not even pass from his throat.
"What's this?" daniel looked at the last meal.
"Guad shafts." Aisyah took a sip of her saliva looking at the lontong that was so appetizing. Daniel also tasted the lontong.
"How's it?" ask Aisyah.
"Hmmm, not bad. Daniel can taste the taste of his cooking," said Daniel tried to eat the lontong once again.
"Uhh, my precious lontong." Aisha could only cry inwardly seeing how greedy Daniel was to eat such a simple meal.
"Umi wants to too. Bribe," the whimper Aisyah wanted to taste the lontong as well.
"Had breakfast, Daniel was hungry."
"Again. It looks good," whined Aisyah. Daniel also gave a bribe to his beloved Umi.
"Umi's. Daniel was hungry" said Daniel pulling his plate and eating the simple meal alone.
"So, how? Do you like that food?" ask Aisyah.
"Hmmm, you can try it for a few days. Who knows," said Daniel who is still focused on eating.
"Alright, the decision is already unanimous. You want the guy who made the barn to be your chef for a few days of experimentation. Umi will pass this information directly to the participants."
"Hmmm, don't forget to have him make Daniel lontong again. Daniel is still hungry" Daniel said, stopping Aisha's movement.
"Related?" ask Aisyah.
"Related."
"If you eat a lot later your checkered stomach is gone," led Aisyah while laughing.
"Hmmm, let it be."
"All right."
Aisyah and the servants cleaned the other food and brought it back to the participant's room.
Inside the room everyone was anxious about the final decision. Especially when they see the waiters bring all the food they cook back with a full form.
Zahra also frowned at his simple cooking.
"There's no cooking there. Let's not throw them in the trash. My poor cuisine, when I can taste it if the madam's son doesn't want to eat." Zahra.
"All right, everybody's attention." Aisha started to control the situation.
"Feeling you guys is amazing. It is cooked thoroughly and also decorated in such a way. Thank you for taking your time to participate, I thank you very much. However, my son only chose one dish and it is clear that it is not in front of you right now."
Deg.
"Feel me not there. What does my cooking mean... Oh, my God, I hope so."
"The winner is the lontong girl, uh I mean the girl who chooses to cook the lontong. Simple food but has a different taste. To that end, I congratulate the girl who chose to cook lontong." A gush of happiness flashed across Zahra's face. What an unexpected thing, though,
"Lontong-making girl, show your charm" Aisyah smiled.
Zahra too in a timid style advanced forward. The cynical gazes and also the mocking smiles of the servants could Zahra see with her eyes. He doesn't know what's wrong. Are they jealous of him?
"Congratulations, for a few days you'll be cooking food for my son. Just a trial period, if my son likes all your cooking. Then you're officially my son's permanent chef" said Aisyah shaking Zahra's hand.
"His hand is so smooth." Zahra is beating the powder.
"Thank you madam." Zahra was very happy, finally he got a job even though this is still a trial period. Hope this mistress' son will love her cooking and she will become a permanent chef.
What makes him a little uncomfortable is the gazes of the servants, especially Rianthy, his new friend. There was a worried stroke aimed at Zahra. Unfortunately the girl did not understand the meaning of Rianthy's gaze.
"May you be okay, Zahra. You'll serve a monster later."
