Rafael's voice shocked everyone. Especially Maria. He's been trying to lie to Shella and her father. He was like a karmic, now Rafael suddenly appeared in front of them.
"No, Mr. Rafael is there. Why did you say there was no. Let her eyes not be closed the same ..," said Shella and covered her mouth with her right hand.
"Can you shut up, right?" maria was upset. "Mr Rafael. I'm sorry, there's someone I have an appointment with. But I don't think it's on my agenda today."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Today, I have a promise with them. It has to do with my mother. So drop out of the meeting this morning for noon only. Please come in" said Rafael firmly.
Raphael invites Shella and her father in. Shella and her father followed Rafael very quickly. People say time is money. No time is wasted on unimportant things. All because of business and Rafael is an example of super busy man.
"Please sit. Here sir ...." Rafael stopped saying because he did not know his name. Though already a regular customer, but the one who made the transaction was Rendra, Rafael's cousin.
"Darman, Mr. Darman" said Mr. Darman.
"Sir Darman, following up on Mama's wishes, my hands will deal with Mr. Darman for the future. You do not need to make a proposal because of this investment from Mama. Mom's money is private. So, we will spend 200 million to expand Mr. Darman's business. We want to create a restaurant-like selling place. But, it will not eliminate the art of your Gaul Warung. We want a new name that sells more. The rest is up to you" said Rafael at length.
"On the name, we'll think again. Because people have known this name from the beginning in the open," said Shella.
"As far as you guys. The important thing, your place, should be enjoyed by the people of the upper middle class. I'm going to promote your place to some of my colleagues. Who knows, they're interested in taking their families to your place" Rafael said.
"thank you. We understand Mr. Rafael's direction" Mr. Darman said.
"Other problem, my lawyer will take care of it. Includes a letter of cooperation agreement. In a week, it will be done and the money will be liquid soon" Rafael said.
After the deal was discussed, Shella and Mr. Darman decided to go home. Shella felt lucky enough that Rafael believed in them. With no need to make a proposal in advance so that Shella does not have to bother working on it. There's no need to explain this that, which is not necessarily how Shella can do it.
On the way home, they met a group of young people riding motorcycles. From the jacket they're wearing, Shella finds out that they belong to Starly's motorcycle gang. However, Shella did not see Galang among them.
It is unfortunate, young people like Galang, can be involved even become the chairman of a motorcycle gang. Poor too, look at it.
Arriving home, Shella prepares to go to college. Shella deliberately took classes during the day, so that she could help her father sell.
Just now, Shella was about to leave for college, there was someone looking for her. Turns out she was Galang's mother, Mila's mother.
"Shella, I'm coming here. Because I want to ask for your help," said Miss Mila as she looked at Shella.
"What help, Miss Mila. If I could help, I would do it with pleasure" Shella replied.
Mila continued her story. Galang, since childhood has grown into a child of money likes to rebel. Because he felt his mother preferred his stepfather over his real father. Galang grew up as a young man full of hatred and anger towards his family. Especially her mother and stepfather.
Plus, his mother who was busy with work and when she came home was tired so there was no time to get close to Galang. Galang grew up to be a young man who lacked the affection and attention of those closest to him.
When I realized it, it seemed like it was too late. Galang has now become a legend in the world of street children. He became the leader of a famous motorcycle gang.
Neglecting her education, even though she was already enrolled as a student at Shella's college. They turned out to be a college. It's just that Galang hardly ever went to college so Shella never saw him.
Miss Mila's story ends there. Shella could only take a deep breath hearing Galang's past story. Shella's heart was sad. Galang should be grateful, have rich parents. He does not have to bother working, can go to college without having to work hard. Just enough to learn well.
"Then, what can Shella help you with?" ask Shella.
"If he meets you, especially you. He wants to return your help, please don't refuse him. We don't want, with your refusal, to feel sad and fall even deeper" Ms Mila said with a heavy sigh.
"I understand, Miss Mila. Although we are somewhat afraid of Galang's status as the head of a motorcycle gang, we will try not to make him hurt" Shella replied.
"One more time, lest he know, we meet to discuss him," said Ms. Mila.
Shella nodded in understanding. Madam Mila also rushed to leave and Shella immediately went to college. Along the way, Shella tried to analyze Galang. Even though he's the head of a motorcycle gang, he's not as bad as people think. Only, their world was full of crime.
After college, Shella went straight to her father's place of sale. That afternoon was pretty rame. Many buyers come to change.
Shella parked her bike first before she stepped in. Upon entering, Shella looked surprised to see her father had a new servant. Even more surprised when Shella found out who the waiter was.
"Groof?" muttered Shella.
Shella rushed to meet her father who was busy making orders. Her curiosity made Shella unable to delay the item for a minute.
"Dad, why can Galang be Daddy's servant?" ask Shella.
"Oh, that. Actually I want to explain to you. But, Dad is busy right now. We will talk later, after free time" said Mr. Darman. He was not affected by the curiosity of Shella who had reached the crown. Finally, Shella relented because serving customers was more important than her curiosity.
Shella patiently waited until fried chicken sold out. Although, they are one job, Shella and Galang are not talking to each other. But Galang could not deny, if he began to be interested in Shella. Time and again he stole a glance towards Shella, who was nowhere to be seen responding to her existence in this place.
