Alma silently stared at the window of her open room, after returning home from the apartment figures by choosing to ride an online motorcycle rather than the man. The last sentence of the number makes his sculpting and can not issue any other word than "can go home alone" though Alma had convinced himself that he no longer put a sense in the numbers but heard the fact directly from the man that he already had a fiancee, alma felt pain in her heart.
could it be that he still expected his love to be reciprocated? or maybe it turns out that all this time the love for numbers has never gone away but is just buried because it can no longer see the man. His own answer alma did not know, he could not explain how he felt now.
"i have to be sure now that I can't belong to you at any time"
alma exhaled a rough breath and chose to sit in the wooden chair in her room, because the man Alma felt lazy to do other things even for a bath even though during the apartment figures he was quite sweaty and thought to immediately take a shower if it had reached home. But what happened was that he daydreamed of a man who didn't even think about it for a second.
tok tok tok tok
her bedroom door was knocked and her mother's face appeared from behind the door,
"haven't had a shower?" alma turned to her mother and showed her distinctive grin.
"yet ma'am, I feel tired so want to sit back. this run out take a shower anyway"
"i've been taking a bath gih abis was eating, mother cook your favorite vegetable soup"
alma nodded and the door was finally closed, alma chose to immediately move and clean herself. Her stomach was also quite hungry even though it was in the apartment number , alma had been drinking fruit juice to prop up her stomach.

Figures are busy with caffe business, listing some food and beverage ingredients that are already in short stock. After alma came home from her apartment who preferred an online ojek rather than her self somehow made the numbers a little upset.why did the girl seem to be avoiding her? is it because the numbers tell him that he wants to pick up his fiancee so from that feeling awkward?
Jeez. even the numbers do not care about the reaction of his prospective fiancee if he knows the number of hiring someone his age rather than choosing an experienced maid.
The numbers should have picked up Renata Kusmanto at the airport but he was too lazy to do it. His phone did not stop ringing and the numbers know who the call came from, who else if not his mama.
but numbers prefer to ignore that call, whatever, he thought.
When cool to daydream the door of her open workspace featuring a girl dressed fashionable and mini with a tall body like a model and make up is quite striking. He Renata Kusmanto. prospective fiance figures that prefer to directly approach the idol once in this city rather than come to meet his parents.
"My baby figure, why don't you pick me up at the airport huh?" ask the girl while walking in a daze approaching the number that directly massaged her temple. The day of hell for numbers starts now.
"Sorry, my work is a lot so can not pick up" the figure saw renata memoutkan lips but according to the number there is no funny even the more upset figure saw the face.
"you should tell me dong or takain mama you kek if you can not pick up, make me not need to wait for you. you should know yes I waited for you almost 1 hour ago...." And blah blah blah.
that's what the number does not like from the girl in front of him, if people do wrong he will continue to blame the person even though he has apologized. this girl is really selfish and can not understand anyone else, must be someone else who always understands her.You can imagine how complicated life figures if you have to marry this girl. maybe the numbers will gray before their time.
"Well, you're beating me up!! very nice bummer anyway"

Alma prepares to apartment figures, exactly a month already she is working on numbers. Her last meeting with numbers is the day the numbers say about her fiance. alma never saw the man again, when she arrived the young man was no longer in the apartment and only left a note that he was leaving early and coming home later than usual, so next. Alma did not care much about it, she had already steadied her heart to bury her hope in the man.
Maybe the numbers are busy with his fiancee, let it be not alma's business anyway. All the girl knows is work as it should, speaking of salary figures just transferred her salary last night. he also gives a bonus when alma does not expect more but if it has been given yes he will not refuse of course.
"Washing clothes continues ironing it turns out that many clothes he is scuffed may never be rubbed, but certainly not rubbed where tuh people hold iron or maybe worse he can not rub" alma monologues herself while putting clothes in the washing machine.
tong ting .....
The apartment bell reads , alma stops her activity. What are the numbers? uh but if that number is impossible he pressed the bell he did not know the password of the apartment and it is also impossible that the man forgot the password of his own apartment.then who was visiting?
Alma rushed to open the door and there were two women. One middle-aged woman and another a girl with a tall body and her mini dress stood staring at alma with the same look on her face. Wonder.
"who are you?" the middle-aged woman who first opened her voice, she displayed a face that looked cynical.jeez alma is not a thief, why is that face so cold reminiscent of her figure face or lest this woman is indeed her mother figure?!
"I'm alma ma'am, the new maid in the apartment. Mum, what do I need if I may know?"
alma said politely, the girl with the mini dress clucked.
"we weren't told to go in first?! move lo!" the girl arrogantly pushed alma until the girl almost lost her balance.
he entered followed by the middle-aged woman with that neat bun.
"I am Anita mother of numbers and this is Renata prospective fiance of numbers" alma quickly looked down so knowing that the one in front of her was the mother of numbers, just deserved her face was similar.
"please sit down mom, I'll make you a drink"
"Wait"
alma stopped her footsteps and chose to face the middle-aged woman in front of her, the bullying look making her feel shrieked.
"when did you work in this apartment? why don't the numbers tell me about you?"
