"Arnold where have you been? Georg's been waiting for that file you brought." Say someone who approaches him.


"Sorry."


Soon came someone with a cold face. Looking at Theo at a glance like asking what is wrong, but Theo just shook his head.


"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jeemy looked at Arnold from top to bottom. But Arnold just stood still and shook his head, the face looked like a tangled thread.


"Here you go, Geor won't scold you young man. Raise your face, everyone deserves to see it, buddy." Theo embraced that shoulder, leading him to walk to the center of the hall of the room. Arnold was not excited. Even he let go of his uncle's embrace a little tiptoe for the sake of equalizing himself.


Theo and Jeemy threw glances at each other, taking turns glancing at Arnold. "You guys. I'm not in the mood to join." Said limp.


"Hey, it looks like our Arnold soul is being switched right now. Where did you fall? I'm gonna go there looking for that shred of soul."


"Stop kidding uncle Theo. I really don't want to joke."


"Then?" Jeemy looked at Arnold


"I met him." Chirp Arnold


"Him?" Theo and Jeemy were astonished for a moment ago, "Oh that girl. Why don't you come up and bring it before us. Take it easy, we will protect you from the lioness and the male. We're your uncle who cares a lot." Theo still hugged the shoulder, patting it on his sturdy shoulder but the grim looking Arnold, "Had he come with a man, you're so tangled, hahaha.... After all you're from Arnold's distinguished family, which girl can resist you?" That was a reality for Arnold.


"Well, he's with a man."


"What?!" Pekik Theo who can't believe it


"Then? What do you want? Should we kidnap that little girl for you hn? Or blow the guy's head off? Don't waste your two uncles. Just tell me what you want." Jeemy said coldly. However, Arnold held the highest caste in the group after Lusy. Well, she is the youngest member, and will be their responsibility in nurturing Arnold. Although Jeemy looks cold, it does not mean he does not sing his little nephew. You could even say that he would do everything for Arnold.


"That's too outrageous uncle. Don't be like that."


"Huh!! I know you're in a dilemma right now. You like it but can't do more to say how you feel."


"Why?"


"Hey, Jeemy did you forget the girl that little sister liked was different from her. Better let's have a drink and enjoy this event and then party. You see, some secretaries from your boss's business associates look shiny. Why don't you just look for a distraction hm?" Theo began to negotiate like wanting to poison Arnold's brain, not to forget also the knot smile was painted there.


"If you do that, then I'm sure you'll be turned into a punching bag, hung upside down like a cocoon and you'll feel suspended for centuries." Ketus Jeemy with his flat face. And of course it makes Theo's smile fade. He knew that if Geor was angry something terrible would happen. He was also not ready to die of Suri.


"Well, Arnold, do you want me to take you home? Or I'll book a room for you to rest."


"Hn, it's better that way. I'll go first." Arnold said goodbye and stepped away from there after the file in his hand he handed it to Theo.


"Jeem, were we both born without feelings?" Theo said as he watched the back move away.


"You mean?"


"I've seen some people look so uninspired alive when their hearts go away or they don't get it. Even Arnold was. If compared to us, Arnold is younger but he already feels that way. Then how are we doing with the two of us who are three heads?"


"That's because they listen to their hearts too much and ignore their brains." Jeemy turned around and stepped away from Theo after saying that.

"Kien, Devan... You guys back?"


"Hehehe... Yes brother." Said Kian who was approached by Arya, while Devan passed away just like that. Without saying a word.


"Loh, Devan why Ki?"


"Do not know brother. Pms time."


"Haha... There is aja lo Ki. Yes, I continue to work." Kian nodded.


When he was busy in and out of the kitchen, the phone arrived at the cashier table rang, while the cashier did not know where he was. Not wanting the caller to wait, Kian answered.


There was the sound of grandmothers from sebrang who ordered some of their menus and asked to be delivered to the house. After asking for the home address, Kian immediately noted it.


He walked back to the kitchen, preparing some requested orders. And out carrying a paper bag in his hand. Some employees seem to be busy. Including Devan who is now serving some consumers who are notobanenya female. Making Kian undo the intention even just to call himself. But on the other hand he was confused who to send him. Agha's nose stick alone does not seem, usually the one who handles the affairs of the deliver is him.


"Sif, I'm out first huh. Want an ante pesenan."


"Why don't you ask Agha to Ki? Or that guy who's laen."


"They're busy all Sif. Agha doesn't know where either. I'll let you know for a moment, there'll be Devan who will help you too."


"Oh yeah, that's it. Tiati Ki."


He nodded and raised his right thumb. Passing out of the cafe, stopping one of the public transportation that passed by and directly to the address at the end.


If asked why Kian did not deliver it with the motor provided, then the answer is Kian can not drive any vehicle. Can only ride without driving.


Ten minutes passed, finally he arrived at a housing complex that was so beautiful and spacious. Getting down and down the road there looking for the house of the buyer.


Walk carrying one paper bag and one yellow note in his right hand. Occasionally check the number on the door of the house that is there.


Until he arrived at a scene that was across the road, making him suddenly stop stepping. Disbelief rippled in his heart, yet it was so real. He wanted to call her but her lips locked so he could not say a word.


Although with a broken heart and disbelief, Kian still witnessed it. Hiding behind the plants in front of the house of the person not far from the view. Trying to find the truth and proof is that really his father???


"That's dad why are you with that woman? The woman was exactly as Devan said. So is it true that Devan met Dad in the hospital? But why?" The question swirled in Kian's brain. Looking at the depiction of the woman's back was the same as that portrayed by Devan. And what did Kian see? He watched as his father was embracing a woman into a house.


But when they climbed the stairs which only consisted of four pieces, the woman slipped and made Kian see clearly the woman's face.


"I..i...is not that maung woman?! So all this time you've been right that you've been having an affair with her secretary? Then why are you still defending it? Is mom okay? Does your mother have one reason to keep her?"


While he was still busy with his vision and thoughts, there was someone who patted his shoulder. At first he didn't care much about it, because he was too focused on what he saw. But the man kept patting her shoulder.


"Why do you think about mbak?"


"Yes!! Can you not bother others?!" Upset with a voice that is not too loud but full of emphasis. Kian turned around, grasping the hand of the mpu who patted his shoulder.


And how shocked Kian was, when he turned around the person was, "Refan? Why are you here?" Kian immediately let go of that hand and looked nervously at himself.


"That should be me, why are you here? Pake event crammed everything. Do you want to swing?"


"Enak aja lo. I´m... I came here because I wanted to find an address. I just didn't meet you from earlier. Keep resting here."


Refan looked at the little yellow note, reading it at a glance, "Oh this is Zuya's grandmother's house. Four more houses from here, just her house. Why are you looking for her house?" Refan looked at Kian gasping, staring from top to bottom, "Lo? You're the coffe courier at the cafe?" He asked as if he was mocking


"Yes. Wh why? Weirdo? I don't think so. How do you know his house?" Ketus Kian, but Refan continued to laugh with satisfaction.


Until a few minutes later the laughter stopped and instead looked at Kian, "Lo tau, the plant that lo rusakin continues to be the exact hideout lo stalker, it's my home. Noh!!" Refan pointed to his house that was behind them at this moment.


Take a moment to think of a good sentence so that Refan does not make a complex scene or ask for compensation for his actions that have felt the plants in front of the house of Refan.


"Hehehe... Sorry I'm Fan. I didn't accidentally, I didn't know it was your house." Kian trying to tidy up the plants that he had damaged it.


"Hn! Because I'm good again, okay I'm sorry." He said lightly with a smile of mystery. I remember what happened at school this afternoon. He was afraid that Refan would charge his answer, and if he refused would he be mutilated right now?


"Just relax Ki, don't be tense. Do you want to stop by first? You just found out this is my home. I don't have anyone at home either, so you calm down."


Kian's heart was beating faster than ever before what Refan meant by in his house there was no one who it was. "Lo thought no Fan, with you saying that plus I don't want to come to your house."


"Other times Fan. I have another job to do with his grandmother's order." He said half as much as possible, so that Refan would not offend the matter earlier this afternoon and force him into the house.


"Do you want anther?"


"Eh.. No need for Fan. No, I can do it myself. You said four more houses. Yes, I left first. Again sorry for your plants. I was accidentally Fan. Assalamulaikum" said Kian running away from Refan who was still silent looking at him with a strange expression.


After delivering food and getting paid, Kian walked home. He looked at the house he had been passing and saw his father with a woman. The house is closed like no one is there.


It is impossible after seeing that Kian's mind remains positive, even now his brain contains overthingking about his father and the woman. Disappointed? Evidently. Confused? Sure do. But who will answer all these questions that he will ask. Go back home and ask the mother? Whether to be answered, or even he will run away from his questions.


Ask his father directly, maybe he was immediately scolded and even beaten again by his father. The only way is to know it yourself.

"Ki, Sifa said you were anther customer interest huh? Sorry Ki, it should be my job even you who work. Keep going up what? I see the vehicle in front is still complete." Agha who was waiting for Kian in the cafe.


"Look easy Gha. I couldn't ride a motorcycle so I was riding an angkot. Hehe. let's be more frugal."


"Jeez, I'm sorry."


"Yes." Yeah." He smiled and walked into the kitchen to continue his work.


Busy with toasters and bread. Without caring around. But before long a cold voice greeted him, it was no more appropriate to intimidate Kian at this moment. "Where from?"


"Anter consumer orders." Cuek Kian who keeps busy himself, without looking at Devan.


"Why..."


"Everyone else is busy, I don't know where I was, want to ask you too, you are busy with girls. Don't bother the guest. I'm not blind about the address either. I can only look for that." Kian immediately cut off Devan's unfinished speech. As if I knew what Devan was going to say.


Devan seemed silent for a while looking at Kian, "Don't look at me either. You were angry with me. I don't want to take care of lo. And well this, pesenan chick lo earlier." Kian gave Devan some dishes and continued to do other things.


Devan left Kian alone in the kitchen, delivering the plate containing the food to the customer who ordered, without saying another word to Kian. Which makes Kian feel upset. If asked why, then Kian did not know. It's just a piss when Devan doesn't try to persuade him.
