Genius Child: CEO & His Private Chef
CHAPTERS 193. Meet Dad
***Hartono Restaurant***
The blue avanza stopped in front of Hartono Restaurant.
From inside the blue avanza, Rossy observed the Hartono Restaurant before him.
Not much has changed from the Hartono Restaurant building.
Rossy noticed there were about three parking cars near the Hartono Restaurant.
Rossy knew every day the Hartono Restaurant was open at eight in the morning for customers who wanted to have breakfast there.
Of course the breakfast menu at Hartono Restaurant is the legendary chicken noodle.
Rossy tried to remember how long he hadn't set foot in Hartono's restaurant. For almost six years Rossy had never been to Hartono's restaurant.
When Rossy was chosen to conceive an IVF tube baby, she had to be quarantined in an apartment.
For nine months Rossy stayed in the apartment, giving birth to Chandra and Kelvin in the maternity hospital. After that Rossy brought Kelvin to America and lived there for five years.
"Nearly six years," said Rossy.
"Sir Benjamin is waiting in the parking lot, yes" Rossy said.
"Well Miss Rossy," replied Mr. Benjamin.
Rossy got off the blue avanza and walked inside the Hartono Restaurant.
A waitress at Hartono Restaurant opened the door for Rossy.
"Welcome, miss. Please enter!" greet the restaurant waiter kindly.
"Thank you" said Rossy.
"Miss is alone or will there be friends coming here?" ask the restaurant waiter because he wants to prepare a seat according to the number of customers who come.
"I'm alone" replied Rossy.
The waiter took Rossy to a two-seat dining table.
After Rossy sat down on the chair, the waiter began to promote the flagship menu of the Hartono Restaurant.
"Miss! The Hartono Restaurant has a menu of legendary chicken noodles, which are always cooked by Mr. Thomas, owner of the Hartono Restaurant," said the restaurant's waiter kindly.
"alright. I ordered a bowl of legendary chicken noodles" Rossy said in a trembling voice as she felt moved to taste her father's cooking again.
"OK, miss. Miss, what do you want to order?" ask the restaurant waiter.
"Tea is warm" replied Rossy.
"OK, miss. Please wait a minute. Miss's order will be delivered soon" said the waiter.

Rossy spread his gaze around the room inside the Hartono Restaurant.
A faint smile puffed up at the corner of Rossy's lips when he saw the many polaroid photos stamped on the walls of the Hartono Restaurant.
Rossy believes in the photos there must be a photo of him because every time Rossy went to Hartono Restaurant, he would definitely ask the waiter in charge of photographing customers to take pictures of him as well.
With polaroid photos adorning the walls of Restaurant Hartono can make Rossy's happy memories neatly stored in Restaurant Hartono.
Rossy recalled his last polaroid photo inside the Hartono Restaurant so Rossy stood up from his chair and walked towards the polaroid photos stuck to the wall.
"Here we go!" rossy said with a smile.
Rossy could easily find a photo of the polaroid in his car because he attached the photo of the polaroid on the wall and deliberately stick it on the top wall, according to the reach of his hand.
Rossy took the photo and looked at it with a happy smile.
In the photo are two young girls laughing. Their fingers both form the letter V and both wear High School uniforms.
The two girls in the polaroid photo are Rossy and Michelle.
Rossy wants his fond memories with Michelle also stored in Hartono Restaurant.
Rossy put the photo back against the wall and took it with his phone.
Rossy sent the photo to Michelle's phone while walking back to her seat.
After sending the photo to Michelle, Rossy texted LINE to Jackson.
"Jackson! I've been at the restaurant and I'm waiting for you" Rossy said on his phone.
"OKAY. Your father would love to see you, for sure" type in a text reply from Jackson.
"Yes. Thank you Jackson," Rossy wrote.
Rossy, who was busy texting Jackson, did not realize Bagaskara had walked into Hartono's restaurant.
Jackson orders Bagaskara to protect Rossy secretly so that Bagaskara sits in a chair that can see Rossy clearly and will not be caught by Rossy.
Bagaskara's job this time is to prevent others from harming Rossy.
Jackson still clearly remembers the strawberry juice taken by Rossy was put on a medicinal pill by Rossy's stepmother's thugs so that Jackson did not want Rossy to be harmed by his stepmother again.
After she finished texting Jackson, a text from Michelle went into Rossy's phone.
Michelle knew this morning that Rossy was going to see Thomas so Michelle texted LINE and didn't call Rossy directly.
"Yeah. It turned out that I was young" type Michelle in the LINE text and also send a photo of Michelle posing the same pose as Michelle's photo in the polaroid photo sent by Rossy.
"Basic centile," type a text reply from Rossy.
"Good luck yes say," type Michelle.
"Thank you Michelle," type Rossy in the LINE text.
The support from Jackson and Michelle made Rossy Hartono feel calmer.
Rossy's eyes looked towards the kitchen of Hartono's Restaurant. Rossy, who has experience as a chef, knows for sure some time the legendary chicken noodle order is ripe and will be taken out by Thomas.
According to Rossy's estimation, Thomas was seen carrying a tray containing a legendary chicken noodle bowl out of the kitchen of Hartono Restaurant and walking towards him.
"This is Miss's order" Thomas said, putting a bowl of chicken noodles on the table, unaware that the customer sitting there was Rossy.
"Dad!" call Rossy.
Thomas immediately looked towards Rossy because he clearly remembered Rossy's voice which was still the same as before.
"Rossy!" thomas said with a trembling voice and teary eyes.
Thomas stood glued to Rossy's face for a long time. Thomas thinks he's hallucinating Rossy's appearance.
Rossy stood up from his chair and held Thomas' hand.
"Dad! I'm home" Rossy said with tears in his eyes.
It was at this time that Thomas realized that he was not hallucinating and patted the back of Rossy's hand that was holding his hand gently.
"Thank God you're home. The door to Hartono's house is always open for you, my daughter" Thomas said.
