Devan sees the morning news on his tablet over breakfast before leaving for the office. At first he did not care much and almost pressed Skip. Until he saw the victim. His face looks familiar.
Then her memory flew to a time a few months ago when she came home from visiting Mia's working restaurant.
Devan's car suddenly crashes right in front of a deserted traditional market. It's quiet because it's night. Devan immediately contacted Leo to pick him up and then called the workshop as well.
Leo tells him to stay in the car and lock it up because the area is prone to criminals and Devan complies.
A few minutes waiting for Devan to see a white car coming from the opposite direction to him and stopping a few meters in front of him a bit into the market area.
A man got out of the car. Devan was a little curious about what the man was doing in a quiet and dark place like this.
Five minutes later another motorist approached the man in the car. The motor light shone on the face of the man in the car and it turned out to be someone he knew. Devan does not know him closely, but Devan knows he is Celina's bodyguard.
Devan's curiosity grew higher, he carefully watched what they were doing. The motorized man handed a pepper bag from his jacket to Dion. And Dion seemed to give a large bag to the motorized man.
The motorized man left after checking the contents of the bag. Devan can clearly see the motorized man's face because he went through his car. Dion left without looking at his car. Not long ago Leo came with two mechanics.
Now Devan remembers that the man in the news was a motorized man he saw with Dion. One question flashed across Devan's head. Why did Dion find a drug dealer? Is he a wearer? But judging from his appearance he did not look like a wearer at all.
Leo walks into Devan's apartment to pick her up for work. He doesn't want to risk Devan being alone anymore.
"Is he ready?" Leo saw that Devan's food was still half as well as medicine that had not been taken.
"Lo see what's so serious." Leo sat down in front of Devan.
"Le, look at this." Leo looked at the one on the tablet Devan handed over. Same news he saw.
"Why? you familiar?" cananda Leo's.
"Gue's seen Dion deal with this guy."
"Dion's? Dion's bodyguard Celina?"
Devan nodded.
"But to my surprise, he's not at all like a pemake?"
"Not all the cake that shows you the characteristics, Dev."
But after saying that somehow his mind drifted to Celina. She also remembers that Celina always carries a small bottle that she said was medicine from a psychiatrist.
"Why?" Devan sees Leo daydreaming.
"So. I already have a guess in my brain, but before I'm sure I won't tell you."
Devan looked at Leo intensely, then nodded.
"Okay, I'm handing it over to you."
"Okay, now we're leaving. Come on!"

"Good morning, Mia!" Devan greeted Mia who was already sitting in her chair.
"Good morning, Mr. Devan." replied Mia while standing up.
"When are you gonna call my name?"
"It's best to stay that way, sir."
Devan shrugged his shoulders hearing Mia's reply. Leo could only shake his head to see the two. One is like an express train that wants to go fast, the other is reluctant to ride the train.
Today's not the schedule outside so Devan continues to be in his room. Makes Mia feel a little claustrophobic. Even his eyes could not control him not to keep glancing at Devan. How not? It was a face that had made her fall in love, so she would instinctively look at the person she loved. Although that memory was only possessed by Mia. Yeah, there's no way his spirit isn't bringing that memory to Devan.
"Want to have lunch together?" I don't know who Devan asked, because he said that while looking down.
"Can." Leo finally answered.
"Mia?"
"No, I'll order you, sir."
"Okay, let's go get Leo to eat out."
Mia catches a sense of annoyance at Devan's voice. But what's more, he was indeed a bit uncomfortable with Devan's attitude who seemed to want to be more familiar with him.
Not that he does not want to be familiar with Devan like he is with Leo, but Mia does not want if later he can not hold his feelings to Devan who incidentally has the same face with Arka, but Mia does not want if later he can not resist his feelings to Devan who in fact has the same face with Arka, or rather Devanlah the owner of the face.

After lunch, Devan and Leo return to the office. Mia had finished the food she ordered.
Mia glanced at Devan who was silent unlike these two days or like when Devan was her customer who always asked her to do this and that.
Until the time to go home, Devan went out of the room without a word. Mia feels strange with Devan's attitude, but also feels relieved at not having to answer or reject anything Devan says.
"I'm coming home Mia." Leo
Mia nodded.

Mia arrived at her house tired. The road was completely jammed, until the pupang trip became longer. Immediately Mia secured herself with a warm bath.
After taking a shower, Mia intends to make her favorite dinner instant noodles. Somehow he was so addicted to instant noodles. However, he had not yet turned on the stove, the door of his house was knocked. Mia thinks who's coming up these nights.
Mia peeked out of the window next to the door, a man standing there.
"Mr Devan?" Mia ascertained.
"Yes, it's Mia." Apparently not.
Mia opened the door immediately even though she was actually reluctant. But it is also impossible that he refused the visit of his superiors.
"Night, Mia. Am I interrupting?"
"No, sir. What's the need for you to come here?"
"Something I want to say."
"Yes?"
"You didn't tell me to come in?"
"Sorry, it's night."
"You used to even let a man stay here." muttered Devan.
"I'm sorry?" Mia wasn't too sure what she heard.
"No, well I'll sit here." Devan was about to sit in the front seat of Mia's house, but it seemed like the goddess of luck was on her side. The rain suddenly fell.
"You sure we're outside?"
Mia breathed her breath.
"All right, let's go in."
Devan smiles triumphantly.
They sat on the sofa in front of the TV.
"Please sit down, sir."
After Devan sat down, Mia made a warm tea for Devan.
"I only have tea, sir."
"It's okay, thanks."
Devan drank a little tea.
Mia was waiting for what her boss would say.
"Look, did you forget me before?"
"I'm sorry?"
Whatdoes thatmean? Mia's memory isn't that short to forget her boss.
"Do you have a lover?" Devan asked another question.
"Sorry sir, I think it's my privacy."
"But I want to know."
"I'm sorry, if there's nothing important you want to say, you can just go." Mia stand.
"OK-okay, I'll tell you right away. Sit down."
