It does not take hours because in an instant Lana Ludes merchandise is not left.

"Alhamdulillah, it's over at last. Thank you, handsome mas-mas," cried Lana with excitement.

"Don't you call us dads, what's old?" thomas Sentak.

a"So I should call what? I don't know your names" cried Lana.

"I'm Niko, this is Thomas, and that's Alex's sister" Niko said.

"Ah, I just call brother, because your age above me is not good if just call the name doang," cried Lana.

"It's up to you" said Niko.

"Mahdi, let's go home for sure the mother will be very happy if our trading runs out," exclaimed Lana.

"Come, Brother."

"Good-looking brothers, we go home first."

Lana and Mahdi immediately boarded her bike and quickly pedaled the bike leaving Alex, Thomas, and Niko.

"Funny is also a boy" exclaimed Niko.

"Great, he worked to support his younger siblings," continued Alex.

Thomas continued to watch Lana until Lana disappeared from his sight, then a slight smile appeared on Thomas' lips.

It did not feel like time was almost late in the afternoon and Alex's trading was gone. The three handsome men decided to go home, while Alex as usual went to Stevi's house even though he knew that Stevi was really gone.

"Miss, this is an investor who will work together to create a new company Miss" exclaimed Pieter, who is Stevi's personal assistant.

Stevi raised her head. "Hello, let me introduce you to my name, Jhon Hummers."

A handsome man named Jhon stretched out his hand towards Stevi, Stevi got up from her seat and replied to Jhon's hand.

"Stevi, please sit Mr. Jhon," cried Stevi.

"No need to call Mister, just call Jhon I feel old when called Mister" cried Jhon with a smile.

"Ah okay."

Stevi can see that Jhon is a crossbred man because his Indonesian language is very fluent.

"Are you Indonesian?" ask Stevi.

"Yes, I was born in Indonesia. My Mommy is Indonesian and my Daddy is French, I grew up in Indonesia and only lived here for a few years" Jhon said.

"Oh so, because your Indonesian language is very fluent."

Jhon smiled, what a first impression of meeting Stevi made Jhon feel very fascinated. John saw besides being beautiful, Stevi was also a smart and independent woman.

"When you want to create a new company in Indonesia, I was immediately interested because I did not have a company there so this is my opportunity to manage a company in Indonesia, he said, especially having to work with a woman as beautiful as you," praised Jhon.

"You're too complimentary, I'm a mediocre woman" Stevi said.

"No, you are an amazing woman. Will you go with me tonight? I would like to take you to dinner while going around this beautiful city of Paris" cried Jhon.

"It seems like tonight I can't, next time yes," Stevi subtly declined.

"All right."

The next day...

As usual, Lana will wake up at four in the morning. Lana and Fatma will make various kinds of cakes that Lana will sell in the morning.

"Lana, hopefully today your sales run out again like yesterday" exclaimed Mother Fatma.

"Amin.kemarin exhausted because of the help of handsome mas-mas selling chicken geprek, Mother."

"Huh, mas-mas selling chicken geprek? how can?"

"It's not just chicken, there's Korean food and drinks as well. The merchant is three handsome men, they help Lana because Lana's trading sold a little yesterday" said Lana.

"God, how good are they."

"Sucks why? haven't they helped you?"

"Yes, if it wasn't for Alex's sister's idea they wouldn't have helped Lana but thanks to Alex's sister, they would have wanted to."

"You are-anything, oh yes Mother make the cake later you thank them as a thank you."

"Ready, Mother."

"Other times bring them here too, later masakin for them."

Lana smiled as she nodded her head. At seven o'clock in the morning, Lana and Mahdi paddled their bikes to yesterday.

Arriving at the place yesterday, Lana frowned because Alex's stall was still empty and had not opened at all.

"Well, how is it still quiet?" exclaim Lana.

"Maybe not come yet, brother," said the Mahdi.

"Yes, yes, yes, we have sorted out first" cried Lana.

This time Lana is selling right next to Alex's lap because yesterday Alex told Lana to sell there.

Today is Monday, Alex and the others will be selling in the afternoon except Saturday and Sunday will start from the morning.

Alex began to move his body, his body was so very tired even his hands felt very sore because of the daily pounding of chickens.

"Sister, breakfast I have prepared and continue to dress Brother I have prepared as well, now brother wake up and take a bath."

In a semi-conscious state, Alex faintly heard and saw Stevi was busy preparing her breakfast and work clothes.

Alex smiles broadly and wakes up, but when Alex wakes up with his eyes fully open Stevi's shadow disappears.

"Geez, why can't I forget Stevi," Alex muttered by rubbing her rough face.

Alex daydreamed, Alex smiled again when he imagined that if he married Stevi again, his life would be very happy.

Alex ruffled his hair, with Alex's shuffling steps into the bathroom to clean his body.

"Ma, Pa, Alex is out for a second."

"Where are you going, Alex?" ask Papa Bobby.

"Find the wind is not too late, the sun is still good for health."

Alex kisses the back of Linda's and Bobby's hands, then drives off aimlessly. Alex headed for the sale, he intended to find breakfast lontong.

"Sister Lana, isn't that Alex's sister!" shout Mahdi.

"Where?"

Lana smiled broadly, as she saw Alex approaching her.

"Sister Alex didn't sell?" ask Lana.

"No, Monday to Friday we sell in the afternoon if Saturday and Sunday we sell from morning" said Alex coldly.

Alex was about to re-apply his bike because he went there just wanted to see his lap.

"Where else is Alex going?" ask Lana.

"You're looking for breakfast."

Lana immediately picked up some wet cakes made by Fatma.

"This is a cake made by Mother, Mother had told me to give it to Brother Alex, Brother Thomas, and Brother Niko as a thank you because yesterday has helped me sell the cake."

"No need, we are sincere in helping you."

Lana gave the bag to Alex. "Bring it up, if not brought later Mother will be angry," cried Lana with a smile.

Alex could not refuse, finally Alex was forced to accept the cake.

"All right, thank you."

Without any expression, Alex turns on his motorbike and leaves Lana.

"Oh Allah, Brother Alex is handsome but unfortunately his attitude is very cold and rich refrigerator hundred doors," Lana said.
