One night, Hendramo, who was ready to go to bed, received a text message from Leo, saying that he wanted to meet and discuss something. Of course, Hendramo couldn't refuse the invitation, so he replied with an equally short reply, saying that he could do that. Out of curiosity, Hendramo finally decided to go to bed right away, waiting for tomorrow to come, so he could know what Leo wanted to discuss so he could tell him first.

Unlike his usual self, suddenly Leo had come in the morning, even when Hendramo was just getting ready at his office, Leo had already opened the door and sat on the chair that was there. His actions that were different from usual made Hendramo raise an eyebrow, feeling so curious about what he really wanted to do. Instead of speaking immediately, Leo paid close attention to Hendramo's office. This wasn't Leo's first time visiting, but he had noticed many changes in the office since his last visit.

A smile etched on Leo's lips, he looked at Hendramo and gave a

    While having lunch with other co-workers, Aini suddenly got a message from Leo. At first, Aini didn't want to reply, she wanted to say that she didn't have her cell phone with her. However, because he forgot to turn off the ringtone, people could hear him clearly when Leo was trying to call Aini. They all stared at the girl clutching her cell phone in panic now, not wanting to pick it up or talk to Leo. Knowing that she had been cornered, finally Aini gave an apologetic smile to her other colleagues. Some of them even rushed Aini to pick up the phone immediately, giving a mischievous smile as if they knew that the person calling her must be the husband-to-be who was busy talking about. Because she would rather not argue, finally Aini just gave an apologetic smile once again, bowed her head slightly before focusing on her cell phone, which was still ringing. He tried to find a quiet place so no one could hear their conversation. It's not that Aini doesn't want other people to eavesdro

    The sound of table banging startled not only Aini but also the people in the restaurant. Aini who heard that, jumped up and looked at her best friend with a confused and surprised look. He couldn't understand why Lia would do such a thing. However, it cannot be denied that Lia's anger is not without basis. Aini just told what happened at the office when she came home. Because Aini was unable to eat well when she was with Leo, now she started to feel hungry. For some reason, Aini can always feel calm when she is with Lia. This is what allows him to eat in peace, regardless of what menu is served. Everything in front of him was now almost completely consumed by the two of them. Even so, Lia still wore an angry expression and started to eat some of the food she ordered brutally, putting all the food in directly before chewing it. Aini, who noticed this, felt that Lia was going to choke, but that didn't happen. “D-don't be such a surprise.” Aini drank her drink slowly and held Lia from

    The sound of a long sigh could be heard from the girl who was lying down watching her best friend choosing clothes for that night's event. No matter how he thought about it, it still felt terrible and made him feel completely uncomfortable. Should Aini go to that place? Indeed, the promise that Aini had made him unable to move, but he still did not want his best friend to feel pain. Lia herself had also told this problem to Arjuna, making the boy surprised. Almost the same as Lia, this man could barely contain his emotions. Even though Lia had hoped that Arjuna could think clearlyin fact, the man couldn't control what was happening right now. It didn't stop there, when he explained the issue with Salsa clearly, Arjuna felt really ashamed of himself. He didn't know that something like that could cause trouble. Luckily, when Salsa tried to destroy the two of them, Aini was able to dodge them well. However, no one will know what will happen in the future. “Why is that again? We've been

    “Try this one too, your mama's cooking is delicious.” It seemed Leo couldn't realize the situation, or maybe he just didn't want to admit it. Aini who received food from Leo, nodded her head. “Y-yes, thank you very much. You too… eat a lot, huh.”“Now, now, you guys eat a lot too.” Leo gave a smile that was so sweet to Aini's two stepsisters, managed to attract their attention so that there was an amazed binary in their eyes. Satisfied with that response, Leo raised an eyebrow at Hendramo, as if wanting to challenge him and say that he was reliable. “Eat slowly, everyone gets a share,” said Niar, who watched her two daughters with worry while she stared intently at Aini. No matter how much or how hard other people try to persuade him, for Niar, Aini is still not a good girl. Aini herself must have felt that piercing gaze that she lowered her head, feeling guilty and didn't know what to say. As long as dinner started, Aini didn't dare to open her mouth, she was afraid that if she ma

    Even though Aini doesn't have many things, Arjuna decides to help her collect her things that are in Lia's house. Even Arjuna also said that he would help pick up things from Dave's house if he needed them. Of course, Aini accepted the offer with a big smile. Even though he felt guilty, he also felt lucky at the same time. Leo, who said he wanted to help carry all the stuff to Aini's house, immediately said that he couldn't do it a few hours before their meeting. Luckily, when she got the message, Aini was consulting Arjuna regarding her thesis which would soon be finished. Meanwhile, Lia herself was overwhelmed by many tasks and work that day, so she couldn't help Aini at all. Even though she feels guilty, Lia cannot leave her job. He just had to apologize to Aini and cheer her on periodically. Lia's actions make Aini always chuckle when she gets messages from her. Arjuna who saw Aini's smile also smiled. Initially, he was worried that Aini would continue to think about the problems

    “Satisfied with having fun with new boys? If Hendramo heard… how would you think he would feel, huh? Her daughter is about to get married, but instead approaches another man. Adorable, right?”“What do you want from me?” Aini, who was cleaning her room, answered, not even glancing at Niar. Aini knows that seeing Niar's face will only make her mood worse. Aini's bold attitude made Niar snort. He never thought that Aini would dare to act like that towards him. "Already brave, yes, you are now. Just look at it, you will never be calm living here!” threatened Niar, managed to get a long sigh from Aini. “Have you ever been nice to me?”The question is indeed true. The arrival of Niar and her two children never brought happiness to Aini. If they thought that all this time they had been soft on Aini, the girl felt that the three people needed to be examined properly. In fact, those who manipulated his father to keep him away from the house, were called and despised as destroyers of people'

    Aini wakes up early in the morning with the hope that she won't collide with Nia, Nadine, or Niar. The dinner he skipped last night wasn't something he wanted to remember at all. Just thinking back on it made her feel worse. He wakes up with a headache and memories of last night that stick like a stain that's hard to let go. A long sigh left Aini's lips, she watched the window in her room, hoping to be as free as the birds that fly there. "Cheer up, Annie. This is still the beginning.” Aini tried to convince herself and slapped her cheeks gently only to feel pain. Ah, that's right. Just last night, he was slapped back by his father, saying that he really doesn't know himself. Aini didn't even know what to do when her father acted like that. Physical play is not what Aini likes, it feels like someone trying to get recognition from other people's pain. Even though such feelings will not provide much benefit to those who are then respected. Precisely, those who commit violence will get

    After making sure that Aini was okay, Dave finally went to his room with Aini, discussing the meeting and the appointments they had to attend. Once finished, Dave said goodbye to Aini and entered his room, closed the door tightly before leaning against the door. A long sigh escaped Dave's lips just like that, he didn't even try to hold it in because he knew that he was alone in the room. Even so, Dave could feel his body was so tired even though he didn't do anything hard. “Hendramo… huh?” Dave muttered before opening his eyes, looking ahead where the windows showed a fairly large expanse of the city. Once again, Dave sighed before he finally sat down in his chair, turned on the computer in front of him and focused on one document. The document does not have a name like other documents. The contents could even be said to be far from complete, and Dave didn't want to continue or finish the document at all. However, after what he saw with Aini, suddenly something inside him ignited un

    “Turn off your cellphone first,” said Marissa in a very sweet tone, she even rubbed Dave's shoulder, who was still standing beside her. What Marissa said made him frown, he also bit his lower lip as he hesitated in making this decision. What if someone looks for her while she's turned off her phone? "Why? Don't want to do it? Well, if you don't want, that's fine too. We can talk about it some other time, right?”Dave originally wanted to agree with that saying, he even felt it was the correct choice. “Then, we can meet….”“Ah, too bad you would rather not hear this. In fact, I think this info is really missed. If you're left for just one day… hm, I doubt that, Aini will be fine.” Of course, Marissa said it all to make Dave worry again. Without saying anything, Dave finally took out his cell phone and turned it off. “You …?”“Quickly say. I've done what you wanted, right? Now is the time for you to say it.” Marissa, for a moment, could only gape. He didn't quite understand Dave's words

    A sweet smile was etched on Leo's face when he watched Aini who was eating voraciously. "How? Do you like the food? Does everything feel good and suit you?”Aini who heard that just nodded her head lazilyin fact, she really didn't want to eat in a place far away. However, when the first meal was served, Aini actually felt that everything tasted excellent. That feeling made him take more and more, like a person who was so hungry and had not eaten in the past few days. Indeed, it tasted that good, it's no wonder Leo also liked the food here to the point where he looked more relaxed than usual. When the only food left was dessert, Aini's face had changed quite a lot. At first, she looked a little annoyed and there was no smile on her face, but now Aini's face was radiant and filled with smile. For Leo himself, it was like happiness for him, to be able to make Aini smile broadly. When the woman raised her head and looked at Leo, she also smiled so sweetly that Leo felt like capturing it.

    The wrinkles on Arjuna's forehead seem to be his trademark. The troubles he experienced seem to have no end, to the point that he thought that he had been born with a fate full of bad luck. In his chaotic thinking, Arjuna finally took a deep breath. He could see Lia who had read his message, but he still couldn't see her reply even though it had been several minutes. How could Arjuna not be worried when it was like this? Still thinking about the possible, Arjuna tapped his forehead, trying to think quickly and also make a rational decision. At a time like this, how could he make a rash decision? He could fall into the abyss if the wrong choice. Because he didn't know what to do anymore, Arjun finally choose to contact Sean, hope that his best friend could help him. He also didn't forget to send messages to Dave that the person didn't read at all. “I have to meet Lia.” The tone given by Arjuna this time showed his dominan, as if he wanted to say that, he would create a path in his lif

    “Salsa why suddenly calling me again?” Lia, who was still in her office, turned off the phone with Aini not because there was a problem with her work. Instead, he gets a message from Salsa saying not to tell Aini anything and calls her back immediately. “Hello? Lia? Do you have spare time?” Salsa's voice echoed in Lia's ear. Hearing that Lia rubbed her forehead, it was obvious that Salsa's voice this time didn't sound calm at all. Did something happen to him? “Where are you now? Let me get to you.”“I'm scared, Lia.” The words were followed by vibrations, making Lia sit up straight. “Lia… you… you don't come, okay?”"What are you talking about? How can I not come if you are like that? Anyway, send your location now!”Lia's muffled groans could now be heard. He frowned and glanced around, making sure it wasn't from where he was. After confirming that the voice was from the connected phone, Lia could feel her heart beating faster and faster. He was questioning what happened to Salsa a

    Aini shook her head as she was still calling Lia. Because Dave was not at the office, Aini was freer. In fact, he had just received a message saying that Aini could be free to come home at what time because it might take him a long time to return. Of course, this brought a smile to Aini's face, she immediately called Lia to tell her this. His best friend, since he knew that Aini was almost attacked, ordered him never to go alone. What Sean said the other day was true. But now, he could only take a deep breath, listening to Lia's scolding. Her best friend was like turning into an angry mother. There wasn't a moment he spent not scolding himself or Salsa. Luckily, Salsa herself was used to seeing Lia like that, so she could ignore it like there was no problem. He can also laugh like this issue is everyday food, sometimes he also supports what Lia says. "I know, I know. I'm not going home alone. Again… tonight I have an event.”“Eh? Dinner with whom? Why am I just hearing about it now?

    “Quickly too,” said Marsha, who was sitting in a café with a woman, different from the two days before. Marsha's words caught Marissa's attention, she tried to peek at Marsha's cellphone only to see the screen had turned black. A squeak escaped the woman's lips before she finally sat back in her chair sweetly. “You haven't seen Dave for a long time, have you?”"Why do you know about him? I'm not in the mood to hear his name at all. Just imagine, I was kicked out of his office!” Marissa cried excitedly, or furiously. Even though he had often told this problem to Marsha, it seemed like he was still not satisfied to channel all his feelings. Marsha even smiled awkwardly at Marissa's words and actions, but chose to remain silent. “You… miss him, right? Want to meet him?” Marissa now gaped, she blinked several times to make sure what she heard was true. Marissa tilted her head, causing Marsha to take a deep breath. It turns out that having a friend like Marissa is also quite difficult. “I

    Amused giggles sounded in the café that morning. A woman patted the shoulder of the man beside her, while the victim who was hit had a sour face. He was not at all happy with the attitude of the woman who did that. Marsha, who couldn't stop laughing, rubbed her eyes that were dripping with tears from laughing too much. He also didn't even feel sorry for the other diners who seemed bothered by his shrill voice, so unpleasant to the ear in the morning. “You're just making it up anyway... laughing? You're so funny.” Leo rolled his eyes lazily, he had absolutely no interest in discussing this matter. Why did he have to tell it in detail? “This is none of your business, is it? Then why are you meddling in my affairs? Don't you want to take care of that, Lia?” Marsha, who heard that, immediately, pursed her lips spoiled. He wasn't the least bit pleased with Leo's attitude, which was always like this. With a small snort, Marsha immediately folded her arms in front of her chest and fixed he

    Arjuna, who doesn't usually drink, is seen in a crowded bar. While the people there seemed to be having fun, Arjuna actually looked like someone who was lost. From the drink he drank, the way he dressed, to the expression on his face. It doesn't describe the happiness there at all. It was clear that he was waiting for someone, otherwise how could Arjuna be in a place like this. After taking a look at his surroundings, a sigh escaped Arjuna before he took a sip of the juice specially made by the bartender in front of him. A look of confusion and displeasure appeared on the bartender's face. “Waiting for someone?” The softer sounding voice of the bartender startled Arjuna. She looked at the man before nodding. “Woman?” Arjuna quickly shook his head. “No, friend, a man. Colleagues too,” said Arjuna briefly, he didn't feel the need or the need to explain his relationship with Sean at all. Again, it wasn't like he was going to see the bartender again, so why was he going into such detail

    “Do not come close!” cried Aini who threw her groceries at the person behind her, almost hitting the person's face. When it came to it, of course Aini would be fine now, but her suspicions were off the mark. Because he failed to hit the first person, he quickly caught Aini immediately, holding Aini's hand, so he couldn't do anything. “Who said we'd go easy on you just because you're a girl?” Aini bit her lower lip so hard that it bled, but that person still didn't care. “Even if you bite your tongue to try to kill yourself, we are fine because there are no orders to capture alive. So just do what you want.”Understanding the situation, Aini clenched her fists and ended up pressing herself against the wall, that way no one would be able to attack her from behind. They are both, but who knows if there will be another person added? The person holding Aini's arm also didn't force her to stand close to him at all, as if he already knew that Aini couldn't escape.
