“What message do you want?” ask Erik
“I order ice tea course” Reply Bela
“Do not want to eat?”
“Not hungry so drink it”
“Oh yes already, bak ice tea two ya” said Erik
“What is the tumben invites out” ask Bela
“There is nothing just want to go out, because alone so I invite you to let there be friends” said Erik
Bela just nodded, because he was still awkward usually he met with Erik in the office but now he is in the Cafe with his boss. Bela is confused what to talk to Erik, he is used to talking only about work no more than that.
“You have anything to do with Mr. Rendra” asked Erik to make Bela choke with his drink so Bela coughs “ Oh so that, let's drink again” Erik gave a drink to Bela so that the cough is not severe
“Means how ya sir eh Erik” Bela said
“Yes I saw that time you guys joined with his son Mr. Rendra”
“Oh that, Kayla is holding me so I can't possibly refuse it. If the relationship is only limited to the boss and employees” replied Bela
“Oh so, I think you are dating Mr. Rendra”
“Ya it is impossible that I am dating Rendra” said Bela
“Mas?” Erik frowned listening to Bela's reply
“Yes, so if outside he forbids to call sir, just like you so yes I called you. If I call his name so it's not polite” explained Bela
Erik nodded in understanding with Bela's words, it was also true that Bela called the name to her boss was certainly not polite especially also her age was not as good as Bela was different from her who was the same age as Bela.
“After night, I went home first ya” Bela said
“I take ya?”
“No need, I take a taxi later even troublesome again”
“Not a hassle, it is I who invite so let me take responsibility for inter-you” said Erik
Bela seems to think with Erik's offer, but has not answered his invitation Erik pulled Bela's hand and took her to the parking lot.
“Lepa hand I” Bela tried to let go of her hand
“I deliver no rejection okay” said Erik
Bela got in the car and sat down, it felt useless to argue with him. Along the way Bela was just silent, while Erik focused on driving occasionally he glanced at Bela.
“Why shut up” asked Erik
“Anything” Reply Bela
“You angry?” Erik looked towards Bela
“Anged? For?” Back to asking
“Because I have forced you to make it between you and go home” said Erik
“Enggak”
“Keep why silence from earlier?”
Erik had arrived in front of Bela's house, when Bela was about to go down Erik withdrew Bela's hand.
“What questions?”
“Why are you quiet?”
“Agi sari cloud” said Bela origin so that he can quickly enter into his house “I went inside, thank you for taking me home ya” said Bela
Bela went straight into his house without offering Erik to stop by, Erik who was still watching Bela until completely invisible again.
“Very different nature if outside the office” said Erik shook his head and smiled
Erik drives his car and drives from Bela's house to his house.
The next day, Rendra had already cleaned up all of Kayla's belongings and clothes, he was going to the office first before returning to Jakarta. Kayla asks him to say goodbye first to Bela.
On the way Kayla did not say much, she looked out the window. Kayla is happy after returning home she can play again with Rio and help him sell. But Kayla is also happy to be in Bandung, Kayla can play with her papa and there is also Bela who accompanies her.
“Come down baby, we have arrived he said he wants to pamit” said Rendra
Kayla got down from the car with Rendra to her room, there was Erik who deliberately waited for her because before leaving, Rendra had contacted her to wait in her room.
“Good morning pak” greet Erik
“Good morning Erik, please call Bela ya”
“Good pak”
Erik comes out of Rendra's room and immediately calls Bela in his room to follow her to Rendra's room.
“You can exit Erik”, Rendra told Rendra
“Good sir, I'm sorry to leave” Erik out of Rendra's room and there are only Rendra, Kayla and Bela
“What's up sir?” ask Bela
“Mamah Bela, Kayla same papah want to go home, mamah Bela playfully to Kayla's house later ya” said Kayla
“So Kayla today wants to go home yes, later must be messing around to Kayla ya” said Bela
Kayla hugged Bela, as if unwilling to part with her. Rendra had just been silent and noticed the two of them, Rendra had never brought a woman to his house or deliberately reunited with Kayla. Kayla had joined Rendra to his office in Jakarta, but not until like this, even Kayla did not want to stay there for long. Not sure with Bela why Kayla could be instantly familiar, was the premonition of a child right. Rendra's mind went everywhere with Kayla's attitude like this.
After being satisfied chatting and saying goodbye to Bela, Rendra invites Kayla to go home afraid of going to lunch and will be jammed on the road because of lunch time.
“Come home Kayla” take Rendra
“Iya pah” Kayla replied
Rendra, Kayla and Bela came out together from Bela's room. Bela deliberately wanted to deliver it to the parking lot. As usual, other employees whispered because Bela looks familiar with Kayla, especially Bela until taken by Kayla. Bela who realized that the employees were talking about her felt embarrassed and lowered her face.
Rendra was indifferent to the words of the employees who were talking about it, not loud but slightly heard by Rendra. He could not have snapped or scolded the employees because there was Kayla beside him. Rendra did not want to make Kayla shocked and frightened because she spoke out loudly.
“Erik” call Rendra
“Iya sir, what's up?” answer Erik
“ you take care of all those employees, if they just want to chat do not need to come here again tomorrow” said Rendra
“Good pak”
Erik approached the employee who had been whispering earlier, after Erik conveyed what Rendra had said all the employees were silent and continued his work. Bela, who saw that people were not talking about him, raised her face again.
Bela is ashamed if it should be talked about like that, surely the people think that he just wants to use his boss, approach his son to be close to his papa. Such gossip he used to hear, if there was someone who was with Erik, but Bela did not care about the gossip and chose to be quiet.
