The alarm on his phone had sounded half an hour ago, but the man lying on a large mattress had not yet awakened. An increasingly frequent sound of alarm finally managed to wake him up. His hand touched the bed next to him. Empty, uninhabited.
Then he got up from his sleep, turning off the alarm on his phone. Then stepped towards the window, flipping away the large curtain that covered the entire window. He closed his eyes enjoying the sunlight that was sweeping him.
A glimpse of the incident last night until the early morning reappears. He felt the corner of his lips, still painful. But it also manages to make her remember the kiss between herself and Kahi.
He laughed softly, at least the effort to improve his relationship with Kahi was increased. He turned to the bathroom, preparing to go to work.

"yes, I had breakfast. Hm... "
"want me to take her off"
"no, it's noon so I'll be anter, Mr. Urip"
"it's okay, sorry"
"yes, yes, yes. I'll see you later"
Tuutt
Kahi looked at the square screen in front of him, after receiving a call from Gemma. Then took a deep breath and exhaled, looking out the window. The morning sky was bright, but his heart was even misty.
He doesn't know how to end his relationship with Gemma. Last night after the kiss scene and Haki. He was sure his heart was still in the same person. But that doesn't mean he accepts Haki back, it's his logic that works now.

"good afternoon" he greeted the new cafe visitors, the cafe in the daytime must be crowded. Be him on duty at the booking desk.
"waiting for the order yes, thank you "Kahi handed over the payment proof to the visitor across the booking table. He is back in the sport by helping his employees, receiving a list of orders from the visitors.
"excuse me, is this cafe owner there" two men in suits approached Kahi at the booking desk. "yes, I'm the owner of this cafe, sir. There's something I can help you with"
"we were attorneys of the landowners and this building before, according to our client. They never sold the land and the building to anyone. Including you" clearly one of the front-most standing.
Kahi was a little confused, because he bought this building and land for a long time. Why is there a problem like this now, after the cafe has been running for years.
"we're talking in my room sir" He led the way to the third floor, followed by the two men behind him. Some of the visitors who heard the man talk earlier, joined in gossiping with others.
News about the man who sued Kahi, about the cafe land sale letter is widespread. They regretted it happened to the cafe.
**
"what's wrong" the question from Juan was not responded by kahi, he was busy dismantling juan's safe. Look for the existence of proof of sale and certificate of land cafe.
"branch, save where the cafe land certificate" he asked, his hands and eyes did not stop from the pile of letters in front of him.
"you who keep it, brother even just look twice" said Juan behind him. "but I do not keep it, bang. All the important letters must have been brothers who had saved" he still read one by one the sheets on his lap.
"wait, not before you say. They want to copy proof of payment as proof of sale. Remind him" he stopped reading, then put the map away. He then got up, ran out of Juan's room. Then go into his room, open the drawer drawer on the workbench.
"finally, you meet" he kissed the navy map, held it tightly to his chest. "how did you meet" asked Juan, who had just arrived. He nodded with a smile on his lips.
"where are you going" Juan shouted as the younger brother ran past where he stood. "om Edo, bang" cried Kahi.
"wait, brother on the deck" Juan ran behind him to get into the car, "hunting, no time bang" he said while sitting in the passenger seat.
***
Kahi sat quietly in the back seat, his business met a notary acquaintance of his family lawyer. It makes him angry and also feels the most stupid. He who was previously convinced, was not even excited anymore.
He still remembered the notary's words earlier, even the brother had to repeat the question. The result is the same. The certificates and deed of sale and purchase of his cafe land are all fake.
"don't be sad, om Edo will help make a report back to the police. Here what you find is not them. So just calm down" said Juan calming. But none of Juan's words could be heard. He was too afraid that it all happened, how the fate of his employees would be if he turned out to lose.
"you want to ask first" asked Juan while glancing to the side, the seat of the sister. "no need, I'll ask myself" he was still looking out the window, his brain was full of many questions.
"you want to go back to the cafe or to the house "Juan stroked his brother's mane, a brother who since childhood never got away from him."to the cafe, the children were waiting. Bang" he said slowly.
"sir Urip, to the cafe first yes" ordered Juan on drivers who have been working since they were small. "good mas"

This afternoon cafe is quiet, it is deliberately closed. Since lunch ended. All the employees gathered on the first floor, arranging the tables to be longer. They sit around the table. They both don't know why their boss asked to close early. Just the wind news they heard, it was not confirmed by their boss.
"mba Kahi" Ika was the first to see him get out of the car, followed by his friends looking at the entrance. Ria came forward to welcome his arrival, hugging his best friend and also his boss. Kahi returned a hug from Ria.
"sorry to all friends, for a while until this investigation is over. You don't have to work first" he explained.
"why mba, what is "between his employees, he looks at the face of the face curious. But right now he doesn't want to bring anyone else in on this.
"the salary this month will be in full transfer, if next month you can not return to work here. I'll pay your severance pay. So if anyone wants to find work elsewhere, please "after saying it he climbed the stairs to the third floor, his office.
Tired for sure, but he can't give up now. The future of his cafe was in his hands, he had already lost his dream once. The only thing left of his dreams was this cafe.
*Drrrrtt Drrrrtt
"hello*"
"yes to Edo"
"Hi, can come to the police station in xx area. Om wait here"
"can om, I go straight there" she turned down the stairs. Then passed the employee who was also out of the cafe door. He looked around, there was no taxi or motorcycle around. He almost ran to find a taxi near a big road. But the voice of the employee in the delivery section stopped him.
"let's go up" the man held up his helmet in front of Kahi, without waiting for a long time to receive it. Put a helmet on his head, then ride a motorcycle matik a million people owned by Didi.
Behind them, his employees and friends were smiling. They won't let their bosses be so hard alone. Let it be that the stubborn woman refuses their help. At least they will remain supportive behind him.

Metic motor of a million people, splitting the traffic jam on the protocol road. Behind Kahi clung to Didi's flying jacket. Waving, for not being shaken. While Didi was seen squirming his body following the flow of his motor movement.
"In, xx police station. Beware of missing "He had to shout for Didi to hear it. It's common for Didi to be on the streets riding a motorcycle of a million people. But as usual, Didi didn't hear any phone calls. The reason is, wearing a helmet so do not listen.
" it's too late mba, nyampe clash" Didi sound no less loud than the sound of a big-pot motorbike. Blaring.
"i heard, Di" said he chimed in the sound of a big motorbike beside him.
Ciiiiitt
The motor braked impromptu, even Didi used the front brake. Which resulted in him and Didi almost toppling forward, if only he did not hold the iron handle on the back seat.
"In, I don't want to die yet" he said as he handed the helmet he was wearing to Didi. "i also mba" replied Didi. "also what Di" he said quickly.
"not wanting to die mba" Didi said with a big smile. His sling bag landed perfectly on Didi's head. Fortunately the skinny man was still wearing a helmet.
"thank you, you go back. I will take a taxi. Nih" he said while handing over the money sheet. "thank you mba, but I'm sincere" Didi's innocent face even managed to make Kahi could not help but laugh.
"take it, I go in first" he just left, after putting the money in Didi's hands.
From a distance he could see the lawyer of his family, talking to one of the police. But unfortunately the cop's face was invisible because he turned his back on him.
"om Edo" he called out to him, the two people who were chatting were compactly turning their heads towards him.
"here, Hi" the beaked man called Edo was waving, asking him to come closer.
But now that he seemed unable to move, the sharp gaze of the man next to Edo managed to freeze him.
Oh my God, I forgot he worked here.
