Aurel sat in front of Gusti's desk.
"Hows it? Have you given up being a waiter?" ask Gusti.
"What is true? I've been a waiter for two years, it's only been two hours. I might just give up" Aurel said.
"If anyone is insolent, just tell me!" Gusti.
"Aurel is working again, if for a long time there will be rumors that Aurel is his girlfriend, Kak Gusti," joked Aurel.
"Aren't you going to be considered again?" goda Gusti's.
"No. Thank you" Aurel said as he walked out of Gusti's room.
"Ck, rejected without any consideration at all," Gusti murmured with a smile.
Aurel begins to be busy serving guests, although Aurel is the owner of the restaurant but he does not relax and still works diligently like the others. Corry in the kitchen was surly all day because Dwiyan, Chef who had been his target, continued to smile at Aurel. Hours of rest arrived, the waiter took a break in the kitchen for lunch. There is a special room in the kitchen to rest the employees of the restaurant.
"Rel, you and Lila take a break first! Later my turn is the same flower," said Erin.
"Oh, okay. Come on Rel!" Lila takes Aurel to the resting place.
While passing Corry, Corry accidentally grabbed Aurel's leg. Aurel almost fell if Dwiyan did not hold Aurel's arm. Corry is getting upset to see Aurel getting closer to Dwiyan.
"Are you okay?" ask Dwiyan.
"No. Thank you, brother," said Aurel.
"Heh, just haphazardly you call him Big Brother, call him Chef understand!" snapped Corry.
"Sorry, Chef. Thank you, excuse me," Aurel said as he pulled Lila's arm and walked into the dugout.
Dwiyan was endlessly smiling staring at Aurel's departure.
"I've liked you for a long time, Dwiyan. You never glanced at a single bit. Why are you even interested in that snoring kid now?" Corry clenched his hands while staring at Aurel's back.
Aurel sat down and rested while chugging a glass of ice water from inside the freezer. Lila took the food from the freezer that was provided specifically for the employees. Lila heated the food in the oven for fifteen minutes. Lila gave one serving to Aurel and one serving to him.
"Aurel, I brought you some food. Eat up!" said Dwiyan while giving a plate of cay stamp to Aurel. Dwiyan sat in front of Aurel and Lila.
"Thank you, Chef." Aurel smiled but her heart felt uneasy. Aurel understood what was happening, it seemed like Dwiyan was putting her heart on Aurel. However Aurel did not want to acknowledge his current status. The status as the owner of the resto is also the status as Fariz's wife, both of whom Aurel has not wanted to admit. Gusti did not even know that Aurel was married to Fariz.
Aurel immediately finished eating and put the dirty dishes on the kitchen table. Aurel came out of the break room and immediately returned to work. Aurel replaces Ane at the cashier's desk.
"Sir Ane, rest up! Aurel replaced Brother here," said Aurel.
"Thank you, I'm taking a break. But ... If I take a while, I'm sorry, " said Ane. Then he went out.
Aurel notices Ane's tired face and is also surprised, why Ane is not going to the kitchen but out of the restaurant and stopped a taxi. Aurel wondered why he was in such a hurry to get home. Earlier this morning, Ane also came last when the restaurant was busy serving guests.

A week later, Lanzi's birthday came. Lanzi stayed in the office after three days ago being discharged from the hospital. Tom accidentally doesn't tell Lanzi if Triana is preparing for a small birthday party. Because Tom promised Triana not to divulge Triana's plan to punish him.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok's.
Tom went into Lanzi's room. The office situation was already quiet, as Lanzi's office hours were only until five in the afternoon. Lanzi told Tom to sit down and they discussed the advertising contract with the electronics company.
"The model is you look for ordinary housewives, to make it look more natural. Don't use famous models" Lanzi said.
"alright. But ... by the way ... aren't you going home? Isn't this your birthday?" ask Tom.
"Nobody is waiting for me at home. Am I allowed to go home?" Lanzi leaned her back and her mind glared. For a week he did not meet Triana and Daren. Lanzi misses them so much.
"Would I take you home?" ask Tom.
"Come on!" bring Lanzi. He grabbed his suit and went home with Tom. Lanzi smiled throughout the journey. But upon arriving in front of the house, Lanzi frowned in surprise. Because his house is pitch-black. The gate guards are not there. Tom opened the gate himself.
"Young master come in first, I parked the car first." Tom got back in the car, while Lanzi stepped slowly using the flashlight from his phone. Lanzi went inside the house and looked for the location of the light switch. When the lights came on, Triana, Daren, Fitri, security guards and waiters came from the kitchen and Triana brought a birthday cake with the number 32 candle.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
May you live long
Blow out the candle
Blow out the candle
Blow the candle, right now
Right now, right now
"Happy birthday, sir," said bi Aen and Tarjo, the gate guard.
"Thank you." Lanzi answered them but her gaze kept on heading towards Triana.
"Happy birthday, Lan." Fitri also smilingly congratulated Lanzi.
"Happy birthday, Papa" said Daren as he approached his father. Lanzi cradled Daren, hugging and kissing Daren longingly. Then he approached Triana and stopped in front of her. Lanzi continued to stare fixedly at Triana's eyes.
"Before blowing out the candle, pray first!" Triana told Lanzi to blow her birthday candle.
Lanzi closed her eyes and prayed. Lanzi's prayer was simple, he just wanted his family to remain as it is today. He hoped that no more storms would hit their households. Lanzi opened her eyes and blew out the candles.
Daren kissed Lanzi's cheek, and said to Triana, "Mama, kiss Papa too!"
Triana peeked Lanzi's cheek. Lanzi could not describe her happy feelings at this moment. If he could stop time, Lanzi wanted to stop the current time. Lanzi glanced at the smiling Tom. Lanzi realized something, it was fitting that Tom forced her to go home. Tom must have been planning a surprise birthday for him.
