Galang met Visha after returning from his office. There was a longing that he had after a few days of not meeting.
Visha who was preparing dinner, invited Galang to join.
"Mas, dinner's ready. Let's eat first! Ali, play with Rara's mom first."
Visha approached Galang who was playing with Ali. They are as familiar as father and son. However, Visha herself still did not know what she really felt towards Galang.
After dinner, Galang chatted with Visha on the front porch of the house.
"I heard Brahms Corp added an order huh? You and Mom are getting busy."
"Yes, Mas. I'm grateful even though I'm tired but it's a lot of fun." replied Visha enthusiastically.
"Oh yeah, you got time tomorrow?" ask Galang.
"I just spent my time delivering the order, Mas." replied Visha with a smile.
"Tomorrow I'd like to introduce you to someone."
"Someone?" Visha scrunched her forehead.
"Tomorrow I'll go to Papa's office because there's a monthly evaluation. After that, I'd like to take you to lunch and meet my sister."
"Eh? Whahuh? Mas's sister?" there was a worried tone in Visha's voice.
"Yes. You've met him, haven't you? The one you spilled his shirt with the shawl."
Visha smiled clumsyly. His heart was not calm.
"Why all of a sudden, Mom?"
"Nobody knows about our relationship. I think it's time I started telling my family. And I'll start with my sister first."
Visha's face changed drastically.
"You just calm down! Don't be so nervous. Rocky and I have always supported each other. So I'm sure, she'll definitely agree with my relationship with you."
"Yes, Mum." Visha forced her smile in front of Galang.

Visha came to Brahms Corp's office at exactly 10:30 as usual. He went to the 11th floor in an elevator. Busy hours like now make the elevator rarely used by employees. As a result, Visha was alone in the elevator.
TING'S.
The elevator rang and it was a sign that someone else was about to enter the elevator.
Visha was surprised to see who would enter the elevator. It was Rocky, the younger brother of Galang who would be introduced to him today. Rocky is still flinching in front of the elevator door.
For a while the two of them stared at each other in silence.
"Want to get in or wait for the next lift?" ask Visha at the end.
Rocky was still in his place. Visha repeated her words.
"Sir! Is dad going in? Or are you waiting for the next elevator?" visha asked back in a slightly hardened voice.
"D-yes." Rocky wakes up and finally decides to get into the elevator. Rocky hit 13 on the elevator button.
The elevator goes back up, but suddenly....
BRAAAKKKKK!!!!
Elevator stops.
"YESY!!!! What the hell's going on? Why did the elevator stop? Hello!!! Is anyone there? Help me!!! The elevator stops, please fix it!!! It's me, Rocky Abraham!" rocky shouted frantically at the loudspeaker inside the elevator.
"It looks like the elevator has a breakdown. Please be patient, Mr. Rocky! We'll fix it soon." replied an operator.
Rocky panic. He paced back and forth indistinctly in a narrow elevator. And he's just alone with Navisha.
"Stop pacing. It will not make this elevator suddenly back on the road." said Visha rather annoyed.
"What did you say?! You're mocking me, food-bearer girl?"
"No, Sir. But your panic is useless. Better just calm down and pray."
"Listen, Sir! People say to overcome panic we should eat. Here, you better eat first!" Visha gives one box of fruit salad to Rocky.
"What are you doing? Are you stupid or an idiot? How can I possibly eat in such a situation? That's right!" Rocky begins to get upset with Visha's attitude.
"From the father just pacing in the elevator, you better eat first. It's!" Once again Visha thrusts a box of fruit salads at Rocky.
This time Rocky receives Visha's gift.
"Sit here!" visha's orders are already sitting on the elevator floor.
Rocky devoured one fruit salad after another in a box.
"It's dessert for today. Thank goodness you liked it. Want more?" bargain Visha.
"No need! If I eat one more ration of this fruit salad, it means there's one person who doesn't get a share. I can't do that."
Visha pulls back the salad box she was going to give Rocky.
Visha's phone rings shortly. From Galang. Visha picked him up immediately.
"Hello, Ma..."
"Visha, are you okay?" the sound of panic sounded. "I heard you were stuck in the elevator."
"Yes, Mas. But I'm fine."
"Wait a minute! The technician will fix it soon."
Rocky stared intently at Visha. A voice rang out clearly in Rocky's ears. He heard his brother's voice.
"Sister!!! Get me out of here!!!" shout Rocky.
"Rocky?! Be calm! Brother will take you out soon."
And the call ended because suddenly there was no signal in the elevator.
"Hello, Brother!!! Brother!!!" the cry of Rocky who had snatched Visha's phone from her hand.
"Signal's gone!" said Rocky with a pale face. "This--" Rocky returned Visha's phone.
"Calm down, sir! I'm sure we'll survive."
"YESY!!!" Rocky screams when the lights go out in the elevator.
"Why are the lights dead too? Quickly turn on your phone!!" Rocky's orders.
Visha immediately turned on her phone and activated the flashlight from the phone.
Rocky set his breath that began to sting.
Visha approached the pale-faced Rocky and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sir? Is it okay, dad?" ask Visha. "They must be fixing it. That's why they shut off the electrical connections in the elevator. Relax, Sir! Relax!"
And Visha subconsciously hugged Rocky's big body and patted her shoulder slowly to calm him down.
For a few moments there was silence between the two of them. Rocky started to calm down and was able to regulate his breathing well.
Visha's warm embrace made her comfortable and calm. For a moment Rocky was lulled with a warm touch of Visha's hand on his body.
But in the end Rocky realized and broke away from Visha's embrace.
"Pardon me, sir! I don't mean--" Not yet had Visha finish her sentence, Rocky cut it off.
"How do you know my brother?"
"Eh?" Visha is shocked to hear Rocky's question.
"You even got a phone call from him. How do you know each other?" Rocky's eyes stared intently at Visha.
"Th-that's...?" Visha doesn't know what to answer to Rocky. Today Galang wants to introduce them both. But now, Visha is trapped in an elevator with Rocky.
Should Visha explain if she and Galang have a special relationship?
